New Yorkers are very proud, and you can tell by the accent.

Americans' English accents are not very different, at most there is a north-south distinction, but New York is unique in that it has its own accent, and the locals are proud of it.

As early as Copernicus's time, it was known that the earth was not the center of the universe, and Bruno defended this truth with his life.

But that doesn't work in New York, which New Yorkers consider to be the center of the planet and the center of the universe, and they are proud of the city.

Li Du understands this feeling, just like in China, the residents of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are also proud of their location, and New York is the world's largest city, and it is normal for local residents to be proud of it.

When they arrived in New York, it was already afternoon, and they had walked around, and it was almost time for dinner.

The driver advised them to go to Tribeca, saying, "It's a great business vibe, with lots of expensive apartments, trendy restaurants, and a boutique food court." ”

Tribeca is an abbreviation for a street that borders Broadway to the east and is considered a tourist attraction in New York.

Li Du is not interested in this kind of place, he wants to go to Chinatown for dinner.

With more than 150,000 Chinese residents, New York's Chinatown is home to cramped rental houses and cramped apartments.

Many Chinese Americans in Chinatown are illegal immigrants, who have either arrived smuggled in or have not returned with overdue visas, hiding here to earn a living.

The driver was a little embarrassed and said, "At night, Chinatown is relatively chaotic, and I'm worried about running into bastards." If you're in the mood for Chinese food, I recommend heading to Sunset Park in Brooklyn or Flushing, Queens. ”

These two places are also home to more than 100,000 Chinese people, which shows how large the Chinese are in New York.

"In Chinatown, Chinese food is not very famous, because there are a lot of Vietnamese people in it, and they have opened a lot of restaurants in it, so ......"

The driver shrugged, hoping he would change his mind.

Li Du smiled: "Don't worry, have you seen my two guys? If you meet any bastard, they can handle it." ”

He pointed back, Godzilla folded his arms to reveal exaggerated muscle lines, Brother Wolf was silent, but if he felt it carefully, he could feel the pride that was immersed in his bones.

Seeing that Li Du insisted on going, the driver could only shrug his shoulders again and drove them over.

At this time, Chinatown became more and more lively, and Li Du took Sophie to stroll inside, listening to the Chinese words that kept ringing in his ears.

Cantonese, Hokkien, Mandarin, these three languages are the most common, in addition to Lu, Northeast dialect, etc., Li Du listened very kindly.

Sunset Park and Flushing have a lot of Chinese Americans, but they don't have the atmosphere of a Chinese gathering place like Chinatown.

On both sides of the street, there are restaurants, hotels, hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, Sichuan restaurants, Northeast restaurants, Shandong restaurants, Northwest restaurants, etc., you name it.

The windows of many restaurants are transparent, and there are roasted whole pigs, roast lamb legs, and all kinds of bacon hanging inside, and some restaurants have fish tanks in front of them, and there are fresh fish swimming in them.

Seeing a white beauty snuggled next to Li Du, followed by two big men, the bosses with sharp eyes suddenly guessed that he was a rich man and came to recruit him:

"Big guy, come here, the most vigorous seafood, the man eats the hard bangbang, the woman eats the watery!"

"Boss, come and take a look, the authentic spicy hot pot is the most suitable to eat!"

"Big brother, come to our store, gnaw big bones and drink big wine, I'm always energetic. ”

Li Duzheng was feeling the atmosphere here with great interest, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, and subconsciously asked, "Cao Fan, Brother Cao?"

What he saw was a Chinese man in his thirties, with a mustache and a cheerful smile on his face, which was the same Chinese Cao Fan he had met in Australia before.

His shouting was not too loud, Cao Fan didn't hear it, a middle-aged man next to him heard it, pulled Cao Fan in surprise, and pointed to Li Du to show him.

Seeing Li Du, Cao Fan laughed, he walked over quickly and held Li Du's hand, and said, "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, we actually met here, you say, apart from fate, what else can I say?"

Li Du smiled: "It's fate, I'm also surprised, I was worried about recognizing the wrong person just now." ”

"The ugliness of Fanergou is generally good. The middle-aged man next to him smiled.

Cao Fan turned around and gave him a punch, and then introduced: "This is Li Du, a young man among our Chinese, don't look at his young age, that's really powerful." This is my old watch, big cat. ”

Li Du shook hands with the middle-aged man, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother Cao, what is this friend's real name?"

"Just call me a big cat, don't call him Brother Cao, call him Ergou. The middle-aged man said cheerfully.

Cao Fan asked Li Du what he was doing, and without waiting for him to speak, he suddenly said: "Came to participate in the half-year meeting of the Winston Group, right? ”

"It's not a pig's brain, it's a dog's brain. The big cat laughed.

Obviously, he and Cao Fan are unusually close, Cao Fan laughed loudly, and there was no mustard.

After chatting for a few words, he learned that Li Du came to the restaurant for dinner, Cao Fan invited him to dinner no matter what, and said that he would introduce him to another young man.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Li Du followed Cao Fan to a roast duck restaurant.

The roast duck restaurant is doing a brisk business, with at least fifty people queuing up at the door, most of them foreigners, many of whom are dressed in high-end clothes and talk extraordinarily, and are obviously upper-class.

The décor is traditional and quaint, with a focus on authentic wood roast duck and a large stove made of bricks in the entrance hall.

Next to the stove are a huge number of ducks that have been cleaned up, and after the internal organs are removed, some people are brushing the oil and material on the top layers, and then putting them in some special boxes to steam and remove the water.

The fire was raging in the stove, and the masters kept stuffing firewood into it, which was packed in small cardboard boxes with the names of pear trees, apple trees, date trees, apricot trees and other fruit trees.

There was a hook inside the stove, and an old Chinese gentleman with a long white beard used a stick more than two meters long to pick up roast duck inside.

He kept fiddling with the stick, starting from the head and tail of the duck, constantly moving and re-hanging until it was roasted all over the duck with the right heat.

After Cao Fan and the big cat appeared, a waiter immediately came over respectfully and took them up to the top floor with small steps.

"The two of them are powerful characters in our Chinese circle, a little brother is called Tang Chaoyang, and a big brother is called Song Biaozi, but the little brother is in charge of the big brother, haha, they are both cheerful people. On the way, Cao Fan introduced.

Listening to this introduction, Li Du felt a little familiar, he had seen two such people before.
