Now when I look at Chinatown, I think it's an attraction. But in fact, the real meaning www.biquge.info here, or the reason for its formation, is deep blood and tears.

A hundred years ago, countless Chinese who were sold as piglets and survived, as well as Chinese Americans who smuggled or escaped from disasters, had to huddle together to keep warm in the face of a harsh environment.

This is the formation of the so-called Chinatown.

After Zhou Yu made a decision, the next day, he went straight to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles' Chinatown also has its own history.

There is a memorial arch, and on the plaque above, the four big characters of 'Mengou Wind' are written. Zhou Yu didn't understand the meaning of these four words, or their inner meaning.

Fortunately, an old Chinese man in a black Tang costume walked by and saw Zhou Yu standing under the archway, looking at the plaque, so he explained to him.

"Young man, the so-called Meng Ou Feng is talking about two people." The old man smiled, his face flushed.

Zhou Yu turned his head and couldn't help bowing slightly, showing respect: "That uncle, which two people are they?" ”

"Mencius and Ouyang Xiu." The old man raised his eyes to the plaque and said slowly: "But what we are talking about here is not their two ancestors, but their mother. ”

"Meng's mother moved three times?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but say.

"The lad knows, too?" The old man laughed: "Yes, it's Meng Mu and Ou Mu." Meng's mother moved three times, and there was Mencius. Ou Mu's teachings, only then did Ouyang Xiu of the Tang and Song dynasties. Do you understand what that means? ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but ponder.

After a long time, he said a little deeply: "We are in the United States, but we must not forget the fundamentals." ”

"That's a good point." The old man bowed slightly: "Yes, I can't forget the roots..."

Then he said, "Do you know who hung this plaque?" ”

Zhou Yu looked up again: "It's Mr. Hong Yaozong, right?" ”

The old man nodded: "Yes, it's Mr. Hong Yaozong." Mr. Hung Yiu-chung is the first Chinese-American practicing lawyer in the United States. In the process of overturning the Chinese Exclusion Act, he played a great role! Therefore, in order to commend him and commemorate his mother's teachings to him, we Chinese Americans hung this plaque. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help pursing his lips.

The old man smiled and said, "This is the first time the young man has come to Chinatown?" Are you here for a tour? ”

Zhou Yu suppressed some heavy thoughts in his heart, lifted his spirits, and said, "It's the first time I've come to Chinatown, but it's not a tourist." ”

"Uncle, are you a resident here?"

He asked.

The old man nodded, a little stunned: "I've lived here for thirty years..."

Then he said, "Not here for a tourist?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "I want to buy some Zhuxia classics, but I can't buy them online, I think, Chinatown should have them, so I came." ”

"You're also an immigrant?" The old man estimated some meanings from Zhou Yu's words.

If you come from China, you will definitely not come to Chinatown to buy classics. Where can I not buy it in China?

Zhou Yu nodded: "I bought a farm on Santa Maria's side to grow fruits. ”

"Oh!" The old man was stunned, but suddenly smiled and said, "Santa Maria, I have been there before. If you want to talk about farms over there, the biggest one should be John's Farm, right? ”

"It used to be." Zhou Yu touched his nose.

"Oh?" The old man looked up and down: "Can't you see it, young man, you bought John's Farm?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "Now it's not called John Farm, it's called Jade Seal Farm." ”

"That's it, the Jade Seal Farm with sky-high fruit prices?!" The old man was surprised: "The logo is a big square seal, a button of a round ball?" ”

Although he knew about John's Farm and Jade Seal Farm, he didn't know very well that the predecessor of Jade Seal Farm was John's Farm.

Speaking of which, the logo of the Jade Seal Farm has gradually become familiar with the opening of the high-end fruit market. After all, this is the only one!

The old man was extremely surprised, the high-end fruits of the Jade Seal brand, to be honest, the price was really painful. But its quality is beyond doubt.

He couldn't help but say: "What a young man, you have the ability!" ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "It's just luck." ”

"It's not luck." The old man laughed, looking at Zhou Yu's eyes, it became more and more different, he thought he was a domestic tourist earlier, but he didn't expect to turn into a predator: "I see that you are not very old, but you can create such a career in the United States, it's not simple." ”

As the two spoke, they slowly left the archway, and the old man said, "If you want to buy Zhuxia classics, I have a place to go." It's a bookstore opened by an old friend, specializing in selling books in Daxia, especially ancient books. When I'm fine, I'll check it out. ”

These words were exactly what Zhou Yu wanted, and he nodded hurriedly, and together with the old man, he soon arrived at the door of an antique building.

Speaking of which, the style of Chinatown is very unusual. In Zhou Yu's view, it is about the same as the old big SH, the fusion of classical and modern styles, which has a unique charm.

Many of the ancient buildings, mixed with modern buildings, look dazzling.

"This is it." The old man pointed to the building in front of him and walked in: "Let's go." ”

When you enter the door, the first impression you get is the strong smell of books. It's not just the smell of ink from the new book, but also the taste of a thick culture that has been precipitated.

This bookstore is not like the Xinhua bookstore that Zhou Yu has seen, but it has an ancient flavor, which is completely consistent with the appearance of this building.

The bookshelves are all wooden, and they all look yellow and black, and I don't know what age they are.

The floor is also wooden, which also looks very old-fashioned.

There are also tables, chairs, etc., all of which have a taste of time precipitation.

But there was no one inside, it was deserted.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang!"

As soon as the old man in Tang costume entered the house, he shouted loudly.

"Old thing, what's it called!" I saw an old man with a clear face coming out from behind a bookshelf, with a three-inch beard under his chin, wearing a white short coat, dark loose pants, and a pair of cloth shoes with a white background and black face under his feet.

"I'll introduce you to business!" The old man in Tang costume laughed: "You here, you haven't opened for three years, what do you eat if you have no business?" ”

"Do I want you to worry? You're not my son. The old man sneered, and then looked at Zhou Yu: "Where is this young man?" The tone was much calmer.

"That's right," the old man in Tang costume patted his forehead: "I had a good chat with this young man, and I forgot to ask his name." Young man, this is Lao Zhang, you can call him Uncle Zhang, Old Man Zhang, anything. As for me, my surname is Li, just call me Lao Li. ”

"Uh," Zhou Yu was also a little embarrassed, he had been chatting with people for so long, and he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he hurriedly said: "My name is Zhou Yu, Li Lao, Zhang Lao, hello." ”

"Zhou Yu, well, a good name." Lao Li laughed: "I'll call you Xiaoyu." ”

Zhou Yu nodded hurriedly.

"Lao Zhang," Lao Li turned to Lao Zhang and said, "Xiao Yu, I want to buy some Zhuxia classics, I just met him under the archway, so I brought him over." ”

"Buy a book?" Lao Zhang was slightly stunned: "The young people now, there are still people who read classics?" ”

"Hey, you can't compare Xiao Yu to other young people." Lao Li Youmo is a big mouth: "People are worth hundreds of millions of beautiful knives, so young, how many people can compare?" Very people, doing extraordinary things. I'm not surprised that he wants to read the classics. ”

"Hundreds of millions of dollars?" Lao Zhang couldn't help frowning: "What kind of achievement is the young man now, backed by his parents?" ”

It seems that Lao Zhang is also an outspoken character.

Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, explain, it seemed to be showing off. If you don't explain it, you will be misunderstood again.

But I heard Lao Li say: "Hey, I said you are Lao Zhang, what a troll." People are not parents to rely on. Besides, even if you rely on your parents, it's the good of others, what's your business? ”

"Don't rely on your parents?" Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Boy, I think you are probably only in your twenties, and if you don't rely on your parents, where will you earn the money?" ”

"Uh, that, Mr. Zhang, my parents have passed away a long time ago." Zhou Yu couldn't help but say.

"Hey, I said you have a hard mouth, you still don't believe it." Lao Li blew his beard and glared: "The newspaper I read is the Los Angeles Times, and everyone has disclosed it." The owner of Yuyin Farm, who graduated from high school, gave up going to college and started from scratch because of family reasons, and in just over a year, he has his current family business! What do you think? ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He thought that he was still hiding, but he didn't expect it to be disclosed in the newspapers. Listening to Lao Li say this, it is estimated that even the underwear is about to be pulled clean!

In fact, if you think about it, there is nothing impossible.

After all, the high-end fruits of the Jade Seal brand are too popular. It's like robbing a bank, a guy who goes straight to his arms and holds money. In such a money society, can it not attract attention?

Those media, still have to die to dig out the inside story?

Zhou Yu himself is still in the dark.

"Jade Seal Farm?" Lao Zhang was slightly stunned: "Is that fruit?" The one my son bought me? ”

"Remembered?" Lao Li sneered: "I don't know if it's the turtle son, and he is still grabbing fruit with his grandson!" ”

"Hey, you old immortal. I've heard of a turtle son who sprinkles and rolls around all day long, wants to eat fruit, and even robs his granddaughter's, and he is not ashamed! ”

"You are not ashamed, shameless!"

"You're shameless!"

Gotta expose each other! Two old children, living treasure, this is!

"That," Zhou Yu looked embarrassed, and hurriedly interjected: "Old Li, Old Zhang, what about me buying books." ”

"Oh, you buy books, don't you? Don't be busy, it's not too late for me to scold this old boy to death. Lao Zhang was not embarrassed at all, and continued to spray.

Lao Li blew his beard and glared: "I'm afraid you won't make it." ”

Zhou Yu.

To put it mildly, it diverted the attention of the two old children.

Zhou Yu was confused, and promised to invite the two old guys to play on the farm.

At this point, the two old fellows looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Yu found out that people are old and fine! Before I knew it, I was wrapped into it.

Lao Li smiled: "Young man, where do you produce fruits, I wanted to go for a long time." ”

"By the way, what kind of limited sales are there on the market, it's really unpleasant." Lao Zhang complained: "It's okay now, go to the production area, you can always eat enough, right?" ”
