Seeing me and Flower acting together, he was even more frustrated, and took out two more small biscuits and said angrily: "No! I'm not reconciled! I definitely want to do it again! ”

As he spoke, Cheng Yi took the small biscuit and began to tease the big tiger and the second tiger, trying to lure the two to get closer to her again.

The big tiger and the second tiger finished eating the biscuits, raised their heads and looked at Cheng Yi, but did not move. Instead, they shook their bodies and began to comb their feathers with each other.

Cheng Yi was immediately extremely frustrated, "Why didn't they come?" ”

I can't bear to tell her that Dahu and Erhu can understand people and know what you want to do, and even if they say it, this girl won't necessarily believe it. I could only smile and comfort: "I guess I'm full." ”

Cheng Yi suddenly became even more depressed, and the unwillingness on his face and the unpleasant aura emanating from his body could be felt even from two seats. I sighed helplessly and glanced at the two little ones on my shoulders, "Big Tiger." ”

The big tiger immediately realized and opened his mouth to shout, "I love you!" ”

Cheng Yi's back straightened suddenly, and his eyes burned at me, "Dahu just spoke?" Illustrate that my tactics are useful! I'm going to have to let it say it again. ”

Looking at Cheng Yi, who had regained his fighting spirit, I subconsciously thought of a sentence - lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the car to drive to Chinatown, and it didn't give Cheng Yi much opportunity to continue to harass Big Tiger and Second Tiger and bombard me with words by the way.

As soon as the car stopped, the big tiger and the second tiger immediately rushed out of the window. I got out of the car and vaguely heard a dissatisfied complaint behind me, "Am I so annoying?" ”

Oh my God, you're not annoying, but the speed of your speech scares me! The good guys are almost catching up with the opposition MP in the council chamber just now.

After getting out of the car and walking forward, I saw a head in front of me. A piece of archway with Chinese characteristics stands in the front of the street, the archway is more than ten meters high, the red pillar green tile with gold edge, looks brilliant and atmospheric. Take a closer look, on the archway is the four characters of London Chinatown written in gilt traditional Chinese characters. On both sides is a pair of couplets - Huatang Ken Tao Gongye, Buwu Kang Min Temple Bell

There are three such archways in the whole Chinatown, which are located at the end of Juelu Street and Mak Ko Tin Street, and there are couplets on the left and right pillars of the archway. The couplets in all three places are different, but they all describe the location of Chinatown and the thriving commercial activity in the city. One is "Lun Yan came to the British Emperor Garden, Dunyi Keshao Han Tianwei", and the other is the "Huatang Ken Tao Gongye, the port Kang Min Min Temple Bell" in front of me now. “

In addition to the different couplets, the plaques of the three archways are also different. This archway located on the street of Tselu Street is the entrance to Chinatown, so it is written as London Chinatown. The plaques in the other two places are the wind and rain and the peace of the country, symbolizing the sincere wishes of the Chinese people for the country and the place of residence.

In London, the history of the Chinese can be traced back to the early 19th century. The earliest Chinese settlement in London was Limehouse, where labourers and sailors from southern China settled in the shipyard area in the early 19th century. By the beginning of the 20th century, the growing number of Chinese living in the area depended mainly on Chinese sailors in the nearby shipyard area. Until 1934, the area was demolished, but it is still inhabited by young Chinese elders.

After World War II, with the growing popularity of Chinese restaurants and the influx of immigrants from Hong Kong, many Chinese restaurants began to appear in the area of Tsew Lok Street, and some owners who moved from the shipyard area continued to cede shops to other local ethnic groups. However, London's Chinatown has not yet been formally administratively bounded.

In 1985, the London government officially recognized "London Chinatown" as a Chinatown community.

However, in addition to the Chinese, there are also a small number of Singaporeans, Malaysians, Koreans and Japanese, and the population of these countries is growing. Since its development, Chinatown has changed from a simple Chinese gathering place to a place with Chinese culture as the main focus and compatibility with other countries and regions. It is also an important platform for Londoners and even Europeans to understand China.

Walking into Chinatown, there were a lot of people in Chinatown, and it was the first time I had seen this kind of bustling scene on a street in the two days I had been in the UK. Although the population of London is not small, the streets are never as crowded as those of the country's first-tier cities such as Shanghai, the imperial capital. But when I came to Chinatown and looked at the familiar yellow faces around me, I suddenly felt like I was back in China.

Chinatown is lined with Chinese restaurants, Chinese merchandise shops, and souvenir shops. Most of the signboards are written in Chinese and English, and the Chinese on many signboards is in traditional Chinese characters, and you can rarely see simplified characters.

When you walk to the center of the street, a pair of stone lions with a mighty appearance, cute appearance and full of Chinese colors stand on the stone in the center of Juelu Street, looking at the Chinese-style archway of Mak Gao Tin Street in the distance, as if the town is guarding Chinatown and the protected area is safe. There is a small open space in front of the stone lion, and there are several businesses that happen to be doing activities.

One of the businesses doing the activity was Chongqing hot pot, and Cheng Yi, a Chongqing girl, was excited when she saw the characteristics of this hometown, and turned her head to look at me and Flower with a smile, "How about I invite you to eat Chongqing hot pot?" ”

I looked at Flower, "I'm fine, can you eat spicy?" ”

Flower obviously didn't realize the difference between ordinary hot pot and Chongqing hot pot, and patted his chest heroically, "What's wrong with this, I often go to eat hot pot with people when I am in the imperial capital, and every time I want spicy sauce!" ”

I smiled wryly, "No, it's different. You'd better think about it, the spicy you eat is not the same as the spicy in Chongqing hot pot. ”

Flower waved his hand impatiently, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what, isn't it just pepper and chili, what else can it be." Can you still eat me with hemorrhoids? Let's go, let's eat this! ”

Well, I'm not too embarrassed to say anything anymore when old man Flower has said all about this. Seeing this, Cheng Yi smiled and went to get two leaflets, and then looked for the address on the leaflets.

When I walked into the store, I found that the Chongqing hot pot in this store is still different from the domestic one, and the hot pot in this store is one person and one pot, rather than one table and one pot like the domestic Chongqing hot pot. I guess this is due to the fact that British eating habits are different from those in China.

I don't know if it was my words that stimulated the relationship between the tendons that Flauer refused to admit defeat or what, when ordering the bottom of the pot, Flower ordered a spicy pot like Chengyi. I didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the sign of Chongqing hot pot, so I ordered a slightly spicy one.

Good guy, when I was in college, Chu Cheng and I went to eat Chongqing hot pot once, and after eating the spicy pot bottom, my lips were swollen, and I didn't dare to for three days. On the fourth day, I couldn't hold it back, and after going to the toilet, the chrysanthemums were hot for four days.

When the bottom of the pot was served, Flower exclaimed, "What is WTF?" Fucking boiled chili? What about the spicy pot base I want? ”

The waiter was serious, "Sir, this is the spicy pot base you want." ”

The old man's face turned green when he heard this.
