"Now that the two of you are doing things in the United States, you should still know more Chinese or Chinese-American, it is easier for you to communicate with each other, and it is convenient for you to get things done. More importantly, if we twist into a rope, we will not be afraid of the US government coming up again. Xia Mu said with a smile.

"Of course I know this, but I found that there are not many Chinese people nearby, let's just say my small town of Bozeman, so far, when I have seen the most Chinese, it is actually at Bozeman Airport, and those people are traveling to Montana." Gao Xi smiled bitterly.

Of course, he also wants to get to know more Chinese or Chinese people abroad, after all, there is a good saying, non-my race, his heart must be different.

It's okay to do business with Americans, and you can be good friends, but when it comes to political issues, there will inevitably be antagonisms.

If nothing else, let's just say that those universities in the United States have set up ditches and hurdles for Chinese Americans, which is obviously discriminatory, but Chinese Americans have little to do, except for protesting, they really have no ability to do it, after all, their strength is still too weak.

Gao Xi didn't want to fight for power and profit, but at least he ran a ranch, did high-end catering, and knew a few more Chinese with a higher status, so that more people could come to take care of this business in the future.

Lu Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "You are always nested in such a small place, so naturally you can't see so many people." When I came to San Francisco this time, I thought I was unfamiliar with life and didn't know how to start. But you know what? I just attended a welcome party, and it turned out that hundreds of people in our company are Chinese or Chinese, and many of them are even my hometowns and alumni, which is really rare. ”

"Really?" Gao Xi asked in surprise: "Hundreds, this is not a small number!" ”

"Of course it's true, you two haven't been in the United States for a long time, so I probably don't know. In fact, not only the United States, but also with the increase in domestic immigration in recent years, many Chinatowns have appeared in Canada, Australia, the United States and other places. It's not the old Chinatown, it's a serious Chinese settlement, where you don't have to speak English. Speak Chinese directly, then you can live smoothly, even if the vendors selling things inside are white or black, they can also speak Chinese, because most of the people who come to patronize are Chinese or Chinese. It is almost the same as many places in the country. After the school is out, when you go to see it, basically most of them are Chinese children or mixed-race children. Xia Mu answered this question for Lu Chengfeng, after all, she spent much more time abroad than Gao Xi and Lu Chengfeng.

"I've heard about this, and I heard a cousin who studied in Vancouver, Canada, say that there are so many Chinese and Chinese people there, and she lives there as if she hasn't gone abroad." Gao Xi said with a smile that he really has a cousin who studied medicine and used to study abroad. I've been to Vancouver, but the relationship is not very close, and it is estimated that we don't know each other when we meet.

At that time, Gao Xi was very envious of this cousin, and when he looked at himself, he was really a little ashamed of himself, but now he no longer has that kind of thought, with his current financial resources, he is much more powerful than that cousin, not to mention that he still spends his own money, and that cousin spends the country's money. In the end, he chose to marry a foreigner and stayed in the United States.

To be honest, he despises this kind of person, you have to spend your own money to study abroad and stay abroad. He doesn't have anything to say, but he spends the country's money and doesn't return to China, this kind of person is really a character problem.

"Well, that's true of Vancouver. Some people once joked that maybe the Chinese will be the majority in Canada in the future, and Chinese will become the official language of Canada in the future. It's a notch with English. Xia Mu said with a smile.

"It's hard to talk about this kind of thing, there are so many Chinese people in Singapore, but everyone knows what the situation is. That country hates China even more than the white regime? Gao Xi shook his head and said.

He estimates that there may be a Chinese-American president in the future, but this president may not speak a word of Chinese at all, and even his thinking is American, and it is more likely that such people may be more hostile to China.

Therefore, it is a dream to hope that such people will ease Sino-US relations after they come to power, but in fact, it is not bad now. Anyway, it's good not to fight, it's normal to make some awkward or something, once there is a war, then the people of the two countries will suffer in the end.

The car drove into a business district in San Francisco, where buildings are usually studios and offices.

However, what made Gao Xi feel strange was that the car had driven through the commercial area, and it hadn't stopped, he didn't understand a little, where Xia Mu's studio was, it stands to reason that such a commercial area is more suitable for a studio, not only the transportation is convenient, but also relatively sunny, and then go inside, it is a bit remote, and there are fewer people on the street.

But what's interesting is that the environment is getting better and better, and the eyes are full of greenery, which is more comfortable than the cement high-rise buildings in the commercial area.

"It's out of downtown San Francisco, isn't it?" Although Gao Xi has not been to San Francisco a few times, let alone visited San Francisco, the changes in the environment still allow him to analyze where he is now.

"Well, I'm out of town, and my studio can't afford to rent offices in those high-rise buildings, and if I get there, it will cost me enough for a pot. The farther away from the city, the cheaper the rent becomes, and we are a jewelry design studio, so it's nice to be out of the city. Xia Mu said with a smile.

Although what Xia Mu said is very reasonable, in fact, there is only one real reason, that is, there is no money.

You know, the studio needs to be quiet, but if you want to attract business and attract attention, it is better to have a business district, especially at the beginning of your business, your studio does not have any reputation, hiding in this small town, few people can see it at all, and who will ask you to design jewelry.

Xia Mu didn't say it, but Gao Xi knew that his sister Mu was actually quite helpless in his heart.

"Gao Xi, look, that small shop, yes, is the small shop that sells drinks, that is opened by your people from Shaanzhou, and the people in our company especially love to drink the sour plum soup sold there." Xia Mu pointed to a small shop on the side of the road that was only four or five square meters.

"Stop the car, Lu Daxia, I'll buy a cup of sour plum soup." Gaucy shouted.

In my hometown, especially in the provincial capital of Shaanzhou, there are many food streets that basically sell sour plum soup all year round.

He still remembers that when he was a child, there was a snack called "sour plum powder", which was a powder, which was supposed to be used to soak in water and drink, but the children took the kind of small spoon given there, and ate it one bite at a time, and it felt sweet and sour, and the taste was very good.

It's a pity that it seems that there is no such thing sold now, but this sour plum soup is still there.

"In fact, there are also hawkers in the imperial capital, and they also do this small business. In the past, there were old people outside the Harder Gate, who often held ice cups in their hands, but in fact, two small copper bowls made some noise to attract people's attention, and sold them while walking. Sour plum soup is a great summer drink. In the Qing Dynasty, the imperial dining room was improved to become the royal drink of the court, and the so-called 'Shigong plum fried' was it. Because of its effect of removing heat and sending cold, relieving pain, expelling phlegm and relieving cough, dispelling epidemics, and quenching thirst, it is known as 'the imperial black plum soup of the Qing Palace', and later introduced to the people, so the streets and alleys, the door of the dried and fresh fruit shop, you can see the vendors selling sour plum soup everywhere. A crescent halberd is inserted on the stall, and a sign reading 'Chilled Hot Water Sour Plum Soup' is hung. The stall owner holds a pair of small bronze bowls, which are struck from time to time to make a clanging sound. Passers-by are expected to have quenched their thirst, and they have felt cool when they hear it. A bowl of belly, the heat is completely gone. "Xia Mu has lived in the imperial capital since his grandfather's generation, so he knows these things very clearly.

"At that time, the operators of sour plum soup not only sold along the streets and set up stalls, but also many shops that mainly sold sour plum soup. Such as the flyover 'Qiu', the Xidan archway 'Lu Yu Zhai', the Dong'an Men Ding Street 'Yu Yuan Zhai', the front door outside the 'Jiulong Zhai', all have a great reputation, but unfortunately only the Liulichang Road South 'Xin Yuan Zhai' still exists at that time. ”

"Whether it's the sour plum soup in the imperial capital or the sour plum soup in Shaanzhou, I want to taste it, do you two want it?" Gao Xi asked after getting out of the car.

"Of course, it's hotter here than your Montana, and it's good to drink sour plum soup to quench your thirst." Lu Chengfeng said.

Xia Mu naturally will not refuse, she basically has a cup of sour plum soup every day, since she moved here, she has not broken, on the one hand, she naturally thinks that everyone is Chinese, take care of business, on the other hand, she does like this taste.

A cup of sour plum soup is 0.5 US dollars, converted into soft sister coins is estimated to be about three yuan, in fact, this price is much cheaper than in China, the sour plum soup sold in some food streets in China is really chaotic asking price, some six yuan, some directly to you to ten yuan, it seems that the family is really more sincere, the same big cup, but much cheaper than many places.

"Boss, let's have three cups of sour plum soup." Gao Xi gave a piece of five dollars and subconsciously said in Shaanzhou dialect.

When the boss heard the words of Shaanzhou, he was really happy, it was only the money of two cups for three cups, Gao Xi naturally refused to take advantage of this, and it was not easy for people to do a small business, not to mention that it was relatively cheap, and he was not short of money, so it was not interesting to take advantage of this small advantage.

chatted with the boss about Shaanzhou for a few words, and then happily took the sour plum soup and prepared to leave.

The boss smiled: "It turns out that you know Miss Xia Mu, she is a good girl, it is not easy to work hard outside alone, you have to treat her well." (To be continued.) )
