Yesterday Shi Zhong was very unhappy, language became the biggest obstacle to his travel, and if he hadn't met a Chinese by luck last night, he couldn't even find where the hotel was. He wanted to hire a guide, or a translator, but he had to fill his stomach first.

Shi Zhong is a buffet breakfast in the hotel, but Shi Zhong really can't stand the Western breakfast, bread, coffee, grilled sausages... Shi Zhong really misses the bun shop next to the rose garden.

Walking on the street, Shi Zhong didn't know what to do.

Wandering on the street, Shi Zhong didn't know where he went, but he didn't worry about getting lost, he remembered the name of the hotel, and it was a big deal to take a taxi!

"Hey, it seems that there are pickpockets all over the world!"

Shi Zhong found that a black man in front of him bumped into a woman, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the blade in the black man's hand successfully separated the girl's jeans, and a pink wallet appeared in his hand, the black man grinned, said sorry, and left in style.

Shi Zhong saw the whole process, but he didn't say it, in China, the pickpockets are a combination of several people, and foreigners won't be stupid if they want to come, they are alone in a foreign land, and they are weak, so don't make trouble.

The girl still didn't seem to notice, walking with her head down, and she didn't know what she was doing?

"Chinese?"

When Shi Zhong passed the girl, he found that it was an Oriental, and the reason why he said that he was Chinese was because she was wearing Li Ning's coat, and the girl was holding a book and looking at it carefully.

"This young lady, if you keep walking, you'll hit the electric pole!" Shi Zhong kindly reminded, and at the same time tried to see if he was really Chinese.

"Huh?" The girl looked up, and sure enough, there was an electric pole erected less than five meters in front of her, and she hurriedly said to Shi Zhong, "Thank you!" ”

"No thanks!" Shi Zhong smiled, for a person who came to a foreign country for the first time, meeting a Chinese fellow and talking made Shi Zhong feel very cordial, or Chinese!

Shi Zhong regretted a little that he didn't remind the girl to be careful about her wallet.

"Are you Chinese?" The girl said tentatively.

"Have you ever seen a person or a Korean who speaks Chinese so fluently?" Shi Zhong asked rhetorically.

The girl smiled, closed the book, and said, "Are you a tourist from China?" ”

Shi Zhong nodded, hesitated for a moment, pointed to the girl's pants, and said, "Your wallet seems to have dropped!" ”

"Huh?" When the girl looked down, her face suddenly changed, and she panicked, "How can this be, I just withdrew money from the bank, and a month's living expenses are still in my wallet!" ”

"A black man just bumped into you, sorry, I didn't know you were Chinese!" Shi Zhong said apologetically.

"Which way did he go?" The girl said anxiously, as if intending to catch up.

"I advise you not to chase after him, that black man may have gone away, and besides, it may be dangerous for you to catch up with a girl!" Shi Zhong looked at this girl with some surprise, this is too crazy, a girl who looks quite quiet, even wants to chase the thief.

"No, my month's living expenses are still in my wallet, and I just called from home, I can't live without that money!" The girl was anxious and cried, but she held back strongly.

"How much money do you have in your wallet? You'd better call the police first! Shi Zhongdao.

The girl shook her head and said dejectedly: "It's useless to call the police, although the money in it is not much, but it was sent by my parents to save money, without this money, what should I do next month?" I just quit my part-time job! ”

"Uh..."Shi Zhong has no good way, he can only comfort, and at the same time sigh that many Chinese families want to let their second daughter study abroad even if they want to shrink their clothes and diet in order to let their second daughter receive foreign education, and it can be seen that this girl's family background is quite good, at least in China, it is average, but the cost of foreign countries obviously makes the girl's family very stressed.

Although the girl was still strong, although she looked anxious and cried, she didn't cry, and later said thank you to Shi Zhong, which made Shi Zhong a little embarrassed, after all, she didn't report it.

"What university are you from?" Shi Zhong asked.

"University of San Francisco!" The girl's interest is obviously not high, and she plans to leave, thinking about borrowing money from a few friends, but the family conditions of the international students she knows are not very wealthy, and her own expenses are enough, where can she have spare money to help herself.

"By the way, how is your English?" Shi Zhong asked, his heart suddenly moving.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shi Zhong suspiciously, although she wanted to go back to school early to solve the problem, but seeing that Shi Zhong was a Chinese compatriot, she still said patiently: "I have been in San Francisco for a year, although I am not majoring in English, but my spoken English is okay, and I can basically understand the words of the locals!" ”

Shi Zhong was overjoyed and said, "Great, I'm worried that I can't find a translator, so let's do it for me, I don't understand English, but I want to play in San Francisco for a few days, how about it?" ”

"Translation?" The girl was a little hesitant, after all, she had only known this young compatriot for a few minutes, and she didn't even know his name, although she hadn't had any classes in the last few days, but she had to volunteer to help, the girl was a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for your guide!" Shi Zhong was afraid that the girl would refuse, so he added.

"You're visiting San Francisco? Can you show me your passport? I'm sorry, maybe I was too careful, but..."The girl said, hearing Shi Zhong say to pay money, she smiled disapprovingly, looking at Shi Zhong didn't look like a rich person, and he didn't want to pay much.

"It's fine!" Shi Zhong reached into the inner pocket of his coat and took out his passport and ID card, which he actually took out from the ring space and handed them to the girl.

The girl looked at it once, came back, and muttered: "Okay, I only have three days, but you can bear all my expenses for these three days, and I just lost my wallet!" The girl was quite cheerful, and after a while a smile appeared on her face.

Shi Zhong was overjoyed, and waved his hand: "No problem, I won't let you waste three days in vain, I will pay the salary!" The girl smiled and didn't care, the reason why she agreed was because Shi Zhong didn't look like a bad person, and he was Chinese.

Next, the two reported to each other, it turned out that the girl's name was Wang Ling, her home was in Shanghai, and she was studying for a master's degree in business administration.

As a person who has been in San Francisco for a year, Wang Ling talks about the head of San Francisco, and she can say a lot of things everywhere she goes.

After playing several scenic spots, such as Alamo Square, Mokani Flower Street, etc., at the request of Shi Zhong, Wang Ling took Shi Zhong to the Chinese restaurant, to say that San Francisco has the largest number of Chinese in the world, and Chinatown is famous.

"I know a Chinese restaurant, the food there is delicious, and the price is cheap, absolutely genuine!" Wang Ling said, taking Shi Zhong through several streets, Shi Zhong found that there was a significant increase in Asians here, including blacks, Latin American browns, and of course, many whites, like clusters of colorful flowers and plants, permeating the surroundings.

Most of the white people are in a hurry, and most of the black people are young people, wandering the streets, gathering crowds to sell cheap batteries, razors, toys, etc. to pedestrians, like the blind flow on the streets of Guangzhou.

Soon, the two came to a Chinese restaurant, the name of the restaurant is written in Chinese, the name is Zhongjia Restaurant, quite a creative name, look through the glass, business is okay.

"Uncle Wang, two!" Wang Ling looked at a middle-aged man on the counter, it seemed that she was very familiar with the boss here.

"Ouch, Xiaoling, you haven't been here for a while, you miss my craft!" Uncle Wang glanced at Shi Zhong and said to Wang Ling with a smile.

"Uncle Wang still knows me, Uncle Wang, this is my friend Shi Zhong, who came to San Francisco for a tour!" Wang Ling introduced.

Uncle Wang smiled and said: "Come, sit down, as long as you are from China, then you are all friends, in order to welcome new Chinese friends, I will give a dish!" ”

Wang Ling smiled and thanked him, but he did not refuse, and when Uncle Wang returned to the kitchen, Wang Ling said: "Uncle Wang has lived in San Francisco for 20 years, but he has a lot of feelings for the motherland. ”

Shi Zhong said: "Then wouldn't he lose money like this!" ”

Wang Ling blinked mischievously and said, "You'll find out later!" ”

Soon, a few dishes ordered by Wang Ling came up, which looked good, making Shi Zhong mistakenly think that he was still in China.

"Come on, look at my good food!" Uncle Wang served a plate of dishes, but Shi Zhong was stunned, because it was a dragon, of course, not a real dragon, but a dragon carved from carrots, so lifelike that even the dragon's whiskers under his jaw could be seen.

"This is Uncle Wang's specialty, China Red!" Wang Ling introduced, "Uncle Wang's carving skills are definitely comparable to the top international masters!" ”

"Xiaoling, don't put a high hat on me, you eat slowly, I'll greet other guests!" Uncle Wang smiled and left.

The dragon is coiled, delicate and cute, but of course this is not for eating, just for decoration.

"Hurry up and eat!"

The two of them did it together, not to mention, the taste was very authentic, which caused the hungry stone bell to feast without figuratively.

Suddenly, the originally noisy restaurant suddenly quieted down, and Shi Zhong, who was solving the plate of Chinese food, was stunned, looked up, and noticed that there were a few people who knew at a glance that they were gangsters at the door, mainly yellow people, but also black people.

"Old man Wang, it's time to pay the rent again!" The leader shouted loudly, actually speaking Chinese, which made Shi Zhong very surprised, seemed to see Shi Zhong's thoughts, Wang Ling said in a low voice, "This person's name is Wang Qiang, he is the leader of the gangsters in this area, and the Chinese hotels in this area need to pay him a certain rent, otherwise don't want to open it!" ”

"He's Chinese!" Shi Zhong emphasized.

"His ancestors are considered Chinese, but now they have been completely assimilated!" Wang Ling explained.

Shi Zhong was still about to ask something, but suddenly a crisp sound attracted his attention, only to see Wang Qiang kick over a table and say sharply: "Old man Wang, I said that this month's rent will be increased by 30%, you are still the same as before, are you fooling me!" ”

Uncle Wang has been begging bitterly: "The rent was agreed to by Harrison at the beginning, if it is going to rise, he will negotiate with us, is it a bit unruly for you to directly notify us of the rent increase?" ”

"Rules are dead, people are alive, since His Excellency Harrison has handed over this territory to me, then here I have the final say, and I will rise if I say it!" Wang Qiang shouted, of course, he is a bit bragging, Harrison is a giant in the whole of San Francisco, how can he have an intersection with him!

"Anyway, I won't pay more rent!" Uncle Wang stubbornly said that he had a family to support, and he paid an extra 30% of the rent every month, which was tantamount to killing him.

"You stinky old man!" Wang Qiang raised his leg and kicked Uncle Wang to the ground, "If you don't pay it today, you will smash your bad store today!" ”

"Uncle Wang!" Wang Ling was shocked, rushed over to help Uncle Wang up, and said to Wang Qiang and the others, "What are you doing?" They are all Chinese, why bully Chinese? ”

"Lao Tzu likes to bully Chinese, I not only like to bully Chinese, but I also like to bully Chinese women, chick, look at you look so smart, as long as you promise to accompany me for one night, this stinky old man's rent will be free for one month, how about it?" Wang Qiangyin smiled, his eyes scanned Wang Ling's uneven place, and reached out to grab Wang Ling.

Most of the people around are Chinese, but they dare not speak out, they all know that Wang Qiang is the head snake here, and there is a more powerful underworld above.

Shi Zhong was helpless, if he endured it any longer, it would really not be interesting enough, and said lightly: "Friend, take away your dirty hands!" "Shi Zhong is afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean he can endure everything to avoid trouble.
