Chapter 381: Street Culture

Los Angeles is a large, cosmopolitan city with many people from all over the world living in the area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Among these people are local residents, immigrants, tourists, illegal immigrants, etc.

Like New York, people from all over the world gather here to live. The large number of ethnic minorities also brings traditional cuisine from all over the world.

The streets of Los Angeles are lined with restaurants from all over the world. Turkish Kebab, Italian Restaurant, French Restaurant, Indian Curry Restaurant, Mexican Restaurant, etc. And, of course, there are Chinese restaurants. In the middle of the city, when it comes to dining. There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that can't be done here.

Xu Promise drove the R8 and stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant in the bustling part of the city. He's going to have dinner here. As for why you chose this place, it is not the introduction of the travel guide, but the bustling people and cars on this street, and you must have real skills to open a magnificent and prosperous restaurant here.

After all, the catering industry is full of repeat customers, and after slaughtering the guests once, they will not come again, and they can't open any kind of store without reputation. This store is located in this bustling place, and it is natural that there is an attraction in it.

Dinner was simple, with a few Chinese dishes and fragrant rice porridge. For Xu Nuo, who is accustomed to salty and spicy heavy flavors, Chinese restaurants in the United States taste too sweet. Perhaps to cater to the tastes of the people here, even the famous mapo tofu is also sweet and sour.

Xu Promise had no interest in this soft meal, and after eating a few bites, he focused on the rice porridge. Fortunately, the rice porridge is well done, at least there is no added sugar.

Promise is a character who doesn't eat and sleep, and Xu Xian doesn't talk much when he eats. There were just a few eye exchanges during a meal. But there is a feeling that everything is in plain sight.

The quality of the staff here is very good, and it can be seen that they are all well educated. There will never be all kinds of strange slaps in the face. That kind of thing really rarely happens, except in fiction.

In real life, everyone is busy making money and enjoying life, who will have nothing to do and cause trouble all day long? Just because it doesn't like you? How boring it must be.

"Let's take a walk around the neighborhood." After coming out of the restaurant, the night had already covered the earth, and Xu Xu, who drank more than ten bowls of preserved eggs and lean porridge in one go, raised his hand and patted his belly, and burped leisurely: "I want to digest it." ā€

Looking at the promise with an exaggerated expression, Xu Xian blinked his big bright eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth and nodded.

As long as he thought of the strange eyes of those restaurant waiters when they went to serve rice porridge for the promise just now, Xu Xian couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

The dishes were not to taste, but because they were looking for a place to wipe their face, they had to keep drinking porridge. Such a small bowl, even if you drink more than a dozen bowls in a row, it is estimated that it will not be useful. After all, Xu Xian knew how much the need for food was needed.

When she was in the world of death before, she had seen with her own eyes that Xu Promise could easily eat three percent. A quick snack for a human serving, and then patted his belly and complained that he was only half-full.

Los Angeles at night is very beautiful, unlike the extreme hustle and bustle of New York. The night scene of Los Angeles is drunk, and there is a taste of hedonism everywhere. The pedestrians on the streets are not as hurried as they are in New York, and the people here are more for fun.

The mild climate, abundant supplies, top-notch culture and many handsome men and women from all over the world form the tone of this city of angels. Of course, Hollywood, as the most dazzling jewel in the crown, played the finishing role in this. It's really too bustling here.

"It's nice here, not so hectic life." Xu Xian, who was walking side by side with Xu Xu, looked at the crowd around him and the brightly lit city, and sighed sincerely, "The faces of the people here are all relaxed smiles, unlike everyone on our side who is in a hurry and busy. I didn't even have the time to say more. People are like cold puppets. ā€

What you feel is always more powerful than what you hear. The difference between different places can only be truly understood after seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it yourself. Being alive is not the same as being alive.

"It's not all like you say." Xu Promise frowned, "It's really good here, but after all, there are places in this world where the sun can't shine." It's a beautiful place on the surface, but it's still chaotic in the dark corners. ā€

"You don't believe me?" Looking at Xu Xian's big bright eyes, Xu Yu couldn't help but knock on her forehead, "Yes, even if you come here, you will appear in high-end hotels and various formal occasions, of course, you have not seen anything on the dark side." Okay, you come with me. ā€

Xu Yu took Xu Xian's hand and walked towards a laneway not far away.

Compared to the bright lights on the street outside, the traffic is busy. This remote alleyway was much darker, and the cold night breeze blew through it, making Xu Xian's scalp a little numb. Where had she ever been in such a place? Just looking at it already made her a little unable to walk.

Fortunately, Xu Xian's bright eyes looked at the promise beside him, and his originally nervous mood instantly relaxed.

She knows very well how powerful this man is beside her. As long as he is by his side, it doesn't matter where he goes. This feeling is a peace of mind that I have never felt before.

The alleyway is not very long, and it didn't take much effort for the two of them to walk through the alleyway full of all kinds of garbage, and what they saw was no longer the drunken top-notch cityscape on the bustling streets, but a large area of dilapidated low-rise buildings.

The dilapidated houses, the crooked old cars, the trampled garbage cans, the dusty floors, and the green belts and flower gardens without a hint of greenery.

"This is the slum?" Xu Xian blinked his bright eyes and looked around, "All cities have this kind of place, right?" Even on the Gangbuk side of Seoul, it's like this everywhere. Maybe it's just poverty, but it's not the dark side, right? ā€

Xu Yu looked at Xu Xian with a puzzled face, smiled, patted her hand and didn't say anything, just moved on.

Slums are found in almost any city, after all, not everyone in the city can live very comfortably, after all, many people have to live in the shadows. But this is the best place to breed sin.

"There's a basketball court over there?" Xu Xian paused and looked at a street basketball court not far away with some joy. It's the kind of small street court fenced off by an iron fence.

The streetball culture in the United States is very strong, and many children from poor families, especially black children, cannot afford to go to college because of poverty, let alone enter college teams. But in order to change your life and live a good life. They can only dream of basketball, of being able to enter the NBA and become a money-making superstar.

Don't underestimate this kind of street court, many NBA superstars have gone to glory from here. People like Francis, Iverson and others all played on the streets and were dug up by scouts to become rich people who made money every day and lived a glamorous life.

Of course, most of these people were beaten back to their original shapes after retiring. But they at least once were.

It's just that there are too few such lucky people.

The vast majority of them were chosen by the gray forces, especially the strong children. They will be trained to be money-making tools. Live in the dark of a city like Los Angeles or New York and play an underground ball game. This kind of thing has the same effect as selling children to beg in some places. At the end of the day, it's all about making money.

Americans love gambling and can use anything to gamble. Even if it's for drinks, clothes or even access to the street courts, you can gamble on it. This has also given rise to a large number of underground gambling forces. Betting on football is one of the very popular ones.

Promise that now is the time to rest, to take a break after returning from the tense alternate plane. I have nothing to do to accompany my woman to relax. Take her to see the real dark corners of the city. This world is far from being as flowery as it seems.

It's a small street court surrounded by strong young people. Shirtless and barebacked, hairy bodies everywhere. Hairy and quirky tattoos. One by one, their eyes are not good, and everyone looks like they are looking at fat sheep, whether they are men or women.

Seeing a pair of young Asian men and women walking over, these street thugs immediately became excited. Whistle and pose for fun.

Xu Xian, who had never encountered this kind of scene, was a little tense, and his hands tightly hugged Xu Yue's arm and did not dare to leave. Only the strong masculinity of Xu Promise can make her feel safe in this environment.

A faint fragrance wafts into your mouth and nose. Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman on the side, with long black and shiny hair and a fair duck egg face. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he reached out to wrap his hand around her bee waist.

Men look at women as much as their faces, long legs, **** and small waists. Personal hobbies may be different, but they will not leave this category if they are ever-changing. What about others, promise not to know. But what he loves most is a woman's waist. The finer the better, just like Jessica and Lin Yun'er. As for Xu Xian, he is also not bad.

"Hey, do you want to place a bet?" Xu Promise was looking at the woman in his arms meaningfully, and a white young man in the shape of a mohican, dressed in tattered leather clothes, and wearing sunglasses on a big night, came up to ask Promise if he wanted to bet.

Unlike Xu Xian, who doesn't know anything, he promises to be very clear about this. Turning his head to look at the street basketball court on the side, two teams dressed in different colors were competing fiercely. This is the venue for an underground ball game.

"Six hundred dollars, the team I bought the red clothes won." Xu didn't even ask about the odds, listen to the team's record or anything. Franklin took out a few green photos and walked over. He didn't really want to gamble, he just regarded it as a show for leisure after a busy day.

In the eyes of Xu Promise, these things in front of him are no different from those attractions in Disney theme parks before.

For the current promise, although those weapons of mass destruction can still pose a threat to him. But beyond that, in most cases, Promise is simply an invincible being! (To be continued.) )
