Chapter 177: The Flushing Region

Of course the guards are not afraid, this is the airport? Who dares to beat me? If you beat me, do you still want to go abroad? Just as I wanted to speak, the walkie-talkie rang, I picked it up and said a few words, glanced at Bai Lu, did not speak, raised my hand and let it go.

Bai Lu looked back, and He Shanqing stood not far away, smiling and waving at him, and a middle-aged man in a white uniform stood beside him.

Needless to say, Bai Lu waved his hand at him and followed the crowd inside.

There were also six packets of Chinese herbal powder and a bunch of bonds that should have been checked. To this end, Bai Lu first prepared a doctor's order, and then prepared a textbook and a dictionary, wanting to get past the security check, but if he didn't want to use it, he walked around the scanner and let him go easily.

Zhao Ping didn't see He Shanqing, wondered why the security personnel let him go, and asked Bai Lu: "What's the matter?"

Bai Lu smiled: "It's okay. "The words in my heart are that the rules of death are dead, forcing Lao Tzu to be angry.

Not long after entering the boarding pad, I saw a huge silver-white plane standing quietly.

The plane is a little old, with the name of the airline written on the fuselage, and the tour guide introduced in front: "It's this plane, stay with it, don't get separated." ”

The group walked forward slowly, and Zhao Ping whispered: "It seems that you have to fly for twenty-one hours, or twenty-five hours, I haven't sat for such a long time, I suggest that you start to rest after getting on the plane, so as not to get off the plane and have to fall jet lag." ”

To put it simply, because the United States implements daylight saving time, in the summer, we are 12 hours faster than the American time, and in the winter we are 13 hours faster. Other words. If you keep flying east, it's always light, and if you leave the North Side at one o'clock, you will arrive in New York at one o'clock, and the time doesn't seem to change.

Bai Lu didn't understand how to divide the time zone, but he was very interested in Zhao Ping's words and asked, "Isn't it fun to have jet lag?"

Zhao Ping opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and said directly: "When you arrive in the United States, you will know Lu Dao." ”

Then it was time to board the plane, and Bai Lu suddenly saw many familiar scenes. Someone walked with a cell phone and said, "I'm going to a meeting." If there is anything to say when I get back, even if it is really important, it will have to wait until I come back. ”

Someone is so cool that he looks at his phone without saying a word. It seems to see something embarrassing. Make a decision in the depths.

There are also people who pass in front of the beautiful flight attendants with a stinky face. Then the familiar placement of the package, much like a master who often flies.

Bai Lu looked at it and wanted to laugh, how did the veteran Shasha search yesterday take the plane. Among them, there are so many tricks, and they are all like-minded people.

At ten o'clock, the flight attendant carefully checked, and after the captain contacted the tower, the plane galloped on the runway, flew high into the air, and flew into another existence.

As soon as the plane leaves the ground, people will feel suddenly empty, and then they will see the scenery outside the window changing, from the earth to the sky, and then flying upward, it is clouds, it is white.

Bai Lu, Sha Sha, and Zhao Ping sat in a row, and when the plane took off, Zhao Ping asked, "Do you remember my commission?"

Bai Lu said: "Give the dollar directly, 200,000." "At this time, the demand is different, and the price is different.

Zhao Ping thought about it, although it was slightly different from the price agreed at the beginning, but people bought houses at the price they said, which was very neat, so he was too lazy to talk, so he agreed: "The exhibition is three days, and before the auction on the last day, I will find you customers, hoping that you can keep them." ”

From this time on, the white road fell into a bumpy journey.

If you fly directly to New York, it will take about 14 hours. However, this flight took more than 20 hours to fly, and there were obviously two more transfer stations. Bai Lu was a little puzzled and asked Zhao Ping, "What is this for?"

Zhao Ping had never been on this kind of plane, and he forced himself to explain: "Go with the group, that's all." ”

This continued until Alaska, where everyone disembarked and went through immigration procedures. This is another advantage of going with a group, almost all of them will allow you to enter the country, unless it is too unseemly, and the immigration officials who are in charge of life and death will ban you from entering the country.

Then, take off from here and finally arrive at the legendary New York,

Zhao Ping was picked up by someone, and as soon as he got out of the airport, he saw two Chinese people hurrying up to meet him. Zhao Ping said a little to the tour guide, and walked towards the two people with Bai Lu and Shasha.

Zhao Ping introduced: "The painter Long Youhai, the writer oleander, this is the little brother Bai Lu, that is his sister. ”

The two adults nodded slightly to Bai Lu and asked Zhao Ping, "How many days will you stay this time?"

"Seven days. ”

"Then drink it for seven days. ”

"Don't tease me, find a place to sleep first. ”

A car, squeezed into five people, drove to Flushing.

The most famous Chinese neighborhood in New York is Manhattan's Chinatown, which has long been overcrowded and housing prices are high. As a result, Eighth Avenue and Flushing formed new Chinese residential areas.

Flushing belongs to Queens, a region that is about a quarter Chinese, with Chinese everywhere and countless Chinese restaurants and shops.

When the car drove into Flushing, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Ping found a Chinese hotel for Bailu, made an appointment to meet the next day, and left in a hurry with two friends.

Coming to a fresh and unfamiliar city, it is said that there should be a little uncomfortable, but it is very strange that when I come here, I have to go on a long trip in China, I still see familiar words, I hear familiar Chinese, and my mood has not changed much at all.

The hostel is small, with a small single room with two single beds. Washroom is outside. The rent is settled by Zhao Ping, and when Bailu sells out of things, it will be settled together with the commission, including the ticket money.

Turn on the TV, it's a novelty, there is actually a Mandarin program, although the language is a little weird, and it is also a foreign thing, but I can finally understand it.

Bai Lu felt a little tired and wanted to sleep, but suddenly remembered Shasha's leg injury, and hurriedly went out to find hot water and compress Shasha's leg.

After sitting on the plane for more than 20 hours, I already understood what the time difference was, and I also knew that the time displayed on my mobile phone was wrong, that was the domestic time, and the domestic time was thirteen hours faster than that in the United States, and now it is ten o'clock in the evening in the United States.

In the process of compressing the legs. Bai Lu changed his mobile phone to the American time and sighed: "It's really troublesome." ”

After Shasha finished dressing his legs, the two of them went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ping drove a car, settled the hotel money, and took them to an apartment. Zhao Ping said: "The owner of the house is also a painter, and when he returns to China, you live first, and I live two streets away, and I call if there is anything." A few more words. Zhao Ping left.

Talk through this time. Tomorrow, Zhao Ping will also have several paintings participating in the exhibition, and if there are no buyers during the exhibition, they will automatically enter the auction on the third day.

New York is a metropolis. The busiest city in the United States. Not an exaggeration. There are exhibitions of all kinds almost every day. For example, the most famous Metropolitan Museum of Art is a place that countless artists want to enter. There are also art galleries, many high-end private clubs, university campuses, and many other places for the convenience of artists.

Many Chinese people have come to this city with their own works. But just find a private place and have a little exhibition, which can be regarded as a beautiful bloom in this city.

There are several art galleries in the Flushing area, such as the National Treasure Gallery, the First Bank Gallery, and so on. Because there are so many Chinese, the art galleries here have almost become the world of Chinese.

As Christmas approached, Zhao Ping's art exhibition was an important event at the end of the year. The exhibition will be held at the Pace Art Center.

According to Zhao Ping, this gallery is one of the best galleries in New York, and it also has a branch in Beicheng. And he was not interested in any of these at all, he just wanted to sell the bonds and go home quickly.

Now, Zhao Ping is gone, only Bai Lu and Sha Sha are left in the apartment, look at the refrigerator kitchen, there is hardly any food. The white road can starve, but it can't let the rustle starve.

took out the bank card given by Sima Zhi, with the password written on the back, and said to Shasha: "I'll go out to buy groceries, and I'll come back." ”

Sha Sha was a little scared: "You come back quickly." ”

Bai Lu held up his mobile phone and said, "Call me for something." Sasha nodded.

When he was about to go out, Bai Lu scolded angrily, bastard Zhao Ping, don't leave me money, don't even keep the key? ”

Taking the card out of the bank to find a bank, as soon as he walked out of the street, Bai Lu really wanted to laugh, where is this place in the United States? It is clearly a certain place in China, most of the people who come and go are Chinese, most of them speak in Chinese, and even the signboard is Chinese.

It didn't take long to find the bank, take out two thousand quick money, and go grocery shopping.

Before he went abroad, he was worried that the language was not up to par, and now it seems that he is completely worried, what foreign languages do you and a bunch of Chinese still speak?

After instructing, I bought back a lot of spices and vegetables, and in general, the price of vegetables in Beicheng was about the same, and it was not much more expensive.

Bai Lu was afraid of Sha Sha and worried, so he hurried back, but met Zhao Ping at the door, the guy was standing outside the door with two bags of food and talking, asking Sha Sha to open the door.

Seeing Bai Lu coming back, Zhao Ping said, "Hurry up and let your sister open the door, no matter what I say, she won't listen." ”

Bai Lu walked to the door with a smile: "Shasha, it's me." ”

In just four words, the door lock opened, revealing a slightly nervous, crutche-clad rustle.

Zhao Ping complained as he entered the house: "What's the matter with you? Just say a word, and you will run out, don't you go to buy food for you?" ”

Bai Lu smiled: "Who told you not to make it clear?"

"Well, it's my fault, let's eat, two uncles. "When I opened the paper bag, it was bread and milk, and two sausages.

"Just eat this?"

"Why don't you eat a hamburger?" Zhao Ping took out the food at the bottom of the bag.

Bai Lu said to Shasha: "You drink milk first, and I'll cook." "Go to the kitchen and find a cup, wash it and bring it to Rustle.

Shasha snorted, poured a glass of milk and watched TV.

Zhao Ping followed to the kitchen and told Bai Lu: "Don't go blind, this place is very chaotic, there are some in the country, there is here, and what is not in the country, there is also here." ”

Bai Lu became interested: "What kind of thing is not available in China?"

"Drugs, guns, casinos. ”

"I'm going, isn't this the most prosperous city in the United States? There is also this kind of high-end consumption? Also, are you underestimating the North City?" (to be continued......
