How important is Chinatown to the Chinese?

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Chinatown is the root of all Chinese New Yorkers.

In New York, Chinatown is the epitome of Chinese culture and an important gathering place for the Chinese community.

However, in recent years, many middle- and high-class Chinese have begun to move out of Chinatown, leaving only some lucrative industries here.

The reason for this is the mess of Chinatown.

Over the centuries, Chinatown has become dilapidated and crowded.

In recent years, with the influx of a large number of illegal Chinese immigrants, it has become the worst place to live in New York.

For many years, many Chinese leaders have considered the issue of renovating Chinatown.

But it's really not that simple.

To do this, you must first have a master plan and get permission from the government.

The overall planning is okay.

The vast majority of Chinatown's industries belong to the Chinese, and William Lin and Chen Hongsheng should be able to reach an agreement after some hard work.

But it is not so simple to get permission and support from the government.

After all, this is a big project about the municipal government, not as simple as demolishing one or two houses.

With the Chinese suffering from discrimination, few politicians are willing to go through this difficult process.

But now, Giuliani has taken the initiative to bring it up.

And judging from his tone, this is not a coping statement to solicit votes, but wants to transform it with Times Square.

For those of you here, the allure of Chinatown renovation is enormous.

In addition to great benefits to Chinatown's image, living and business environment, a Chinatown renovation also means huge business opportunities.

These people here are all people who have businesses in Chinatown, and once Chinatown is renovated, it means that their small dilapidated buildings can be turned into high-rise buildings.

In addition to this, there may be opportunities for mergers and acquisitions.

Everyone was excited and expressed their support for Giuliani's plan.

"Rudolph, I'm sure you'll be the best mayor in New York's history. ”

William Lin said in a different direction that he supported Giuliani's mayoral candidacy on behalf of the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association.

"Mr. Giuliani, if you have time, I hope you will visit 22 Mott Street, Chinatown. ”

Chen Hongsheng also took the initiative to send an invitation to Giuliani.

This is also a gesture of support.

Because of the particularity of Hongmen, Chen Hongsheng must have some details to negotiate a little before fully supporting Giuliani, but Chen Hongsheng could not talk to him in front of William Lin and Weng Jinjun, two non-Hongmen members.

Giuliani smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that this matter was basically done, and the next few details were just a political exchange, which would not affect the cooperation between everyone.

u is indeed a very influential person among the Chinese, and it is very worth befriending!

Giuliani was even more sure of this.

Everyone can't help but wonder, how much influence did this Wu Xiaozheng have on Giuliani?

Why did his ideas become Giuliani's platform?

This was quickly seen by everyone.

Wu Xiaozheng began to serve the food.

The dishes are very special.

Because Americans' meat is mainly chicken and beef, in order to accommodate Giuliani, a large plate of drunken Hunan chicken was served first.

Everyone present has eaten this dish, and as soon as they saw this dish, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Giuliani is no exception.

Such a dish with all the color and aroma can make his index finger move just by looking and smelling, if it weren't for the fact that the master hadn't come up, he would have been unable to hold it back.

"I'm sure this will be the most delicious Chinese food I've ever tasted, but I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"

Although he couldn't eat it yet, Giuliani was already in awe.

The second course is a dish of boiled beef.

According to the American way of eating, beef has always been fried and grilled, but Wu Xiaozheng cut it into even slices, and then made it equally colorful, flavorful.

"It's really a blessing today!"

Even He Shiyuan couldn't help but admire.

He had long heard his father say that the little junior brother made a first-hand top dish, and today he had a chance to see it.

The third course is a dish of braised pork.

Needless to say, this is a classic in Chinese cuisine, and because of Mao, this dish is very famous in the United States.

These Chinese here have naturally eaten braised pork, but braised pork that looks so good is still rare.

The fourth course is a spicy lobster.

If you have eaten Chef Wu's restaurant in China, you must know that this is similar to Chef Wu's signature dish Wu's style shrimp, but the material is the Boston lobster here, and Wu Xiaozheng has made it beautiful.

"Why haven't you come up yet?" said Giuliani.

Wu Xiaozheng finally came up, followed by several waiters serving food and wine.

As soon as He Shiyuan and the others saw the wine, their eyes immediately lit up.

Because it is Xiangshui gold liquid.

Because of the haste in which they came, Wu Xiaozheng and the others only brought a small number of samples to the United States this time, and even He Shiyuan could only taste them before, but this time he served three bottles at once.

Not yet aware of the wine's charm, Giuliani was curious about the new dishes.

Among them is a dish of braised fish, and there is also a dish of sauerkraut fish.

It's also beautifully done.

"What kind of fish is this?" asked Giuliani, curiously pointing to the braised fish with its mouth wide open.

"Asian carp. Wu Xiaozheng replied with a smile.

"Can this be delicious too?"

Giuliani was a little surprised.

As we all know, more than 20 years ago, the manufacturing industry in the United States was relatively developed, and all the five major freshwater lakes were polluted. In order to control pollution, the U.S. Congress passed legislation and began to introduce Asian carp in large quantities.

At first, the arrival of carp did significantly improve the water pollution in the waters. But what the Americans didn't expect was that they were caught off guard by a series of problems that followed. As soon as the Asian carp arrived in the American lake, they reproduced very quickly, had no natural predators, and within a few years they were flooded.

According to an early study, carp are now more than 90 percent of all fish in lakes in the United States.

However, this is a delicious and high-quality ingredient in China, but it has become a burden in the United States.

The reason is that carp was originally introduced as a source of pollution, so in the American concept, carp is a garbage cleaner and is not suitable for consumption.

Moreover, Americans are more accustomed to eating beef and chicken, and fish is rarely eaten in their diet. For many of them, carp meat is also not so tasty, often with an earthy smell.

Moreover, Americans are not good at using chopsticks, and it is quite troublesome to eat carp with so many bones.

Therefore, in Giuliani's impression, carp is also unsuitable for consumption.

Even if he had already tasted carp when he was eating Chinese food in Chinatown, it still didn't like him.

Wu Xiaozheng smiled and said, "Why don't you try this dish first?"

He took a small piece of meat directly from the braised carp and placed it on the plate in front of Giuliani.

Giuliani picked up the chopsticks a little awkwardly and put the fish in his mouth.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh my God, why is it so delicious?uh, you should open a restaurant to New York, and I'll be your loyal customer!"

This sentence is better than any evaluation.
