Chapter 66: A Chance Encounter in the Supermarket
Drove out of Jason's racecourse, and after a while, he turned onto the road, and when he got on the road, Ju An turned on the radio and tuned to the music channel, and after a while, Wang Fan started to search the radio station, and complained in the co-pilot's seat after turning around: "How to turn it over and tune it to only one kind of music, it's too monotonous."
Ju An laughed twice and said: "It's basically country music, except for the news, that's it, if you want to listen to anything else, you can play my cd, it's all brought from China, a Zheng Zhihua, and Dick Cowboy or something."
Turning off the radio, Wang Fan opened the small CD bag that Ju An carried, took a CD and put it in, and the two of them hummed along with Dick Cowboy's singing.
After arriving in the Great Falls City, after asking a few policemen, Ju An found a Chinese supermarket, and found a place in all directions, as soon as Ju An parked the car, Wang Fan jumped out of the car, and then stretched a big lazy waist.
"It's really not small here," Wang Fan looked around and said to this Ju'an.
Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and replied: "Don't talk about those useless things, go in and collect things, go back as soon as you finish buying, go home for lunch, and eat lunch at what time you get home."
Wang Fan stared at Ju An with an exaggerated expression and said, "Damn, it won't be so cruel, I ate two small breads and drank a cup of coffee for breakfast, it's almost noon, and it's going to be three or four o'clock when I get home."
Ju An said with a smile: "That's it, if you want to eat lunch quickly, don't be sluggish, let's go." Saying that, he pushed Wang Fan, and the two of them walked towards the door of the supermarket, and when they got to the door, they pushed a car in, and Ju An found that this supermarket was indeed not small. Half of the staff in the store are foreigners, which is very different from the Chinese supermarket that Ju An met in San Francisco, where the employees are all Chinese, and there are more blonde and blue-eyed foreigners here.
And Wang Fan and Wang Fan pushed the cart to the side of the fruit area, Ju'an looked, good guy, I was thinking about going to China, but now it seems that there is no need, the domestic red Fuji, the big Yali here all have the origin of China clearly written above, and the following also brings their respective provinces.
I looked at the sign of the red Fuji apple, which said 99 cents a pound, which is 7 yuan a pound in total, and the pound of the Americans is equivalent to 0.9 pounds in China, which is a little more expensive than the domestic price.
I took a few of each domestic fruit, weighed it, and put it in the shopping cart. Wang Fan looked at it for a while and said: "Why do you always watch you take domestic fruits, and you also take some foreign fruits, you see that this kind of red foreign apples are very expensive in China, and they are too cheap here." As he spoke, he took the bag and filled it with that kind of big red apple, which is the kind that looks very good, but it is not flattering at all to eat in peace.
Seeing that Wang Fan was still stuffing it into the bag, Ju An said: "What are you doing with so much, now everyone at home except Wu Song doesn't eat this kind of fruit, if you can't eat it all, take it with you when you leave, of course the apples in the United States are cheaper in the United States, don't you see that a pound of tofu here in Lao Mei is almost ten yuan."
Wang Fan looked at it and pouted: "I only took seven or eight." After saying that, he tied his pockets and went to the clerk to weigh him. put it in the shopping cart and pushed it for a few steps, Wang Fan saw the American cantaloupe, and said to Ju An: "This round cantaloupe is different from our domestic image, maybe the taste is not the same, let's get one and go back and try it."
After Wang Fan finished speaking, he hugged one to the car, this thing had already weighed it, and Ju An saw that it was almost about five yuan a catty.
Ju An chose some domestic plums, the famous mountain province jujubes, and longan grapes put into the cart, walked to the side, saw the place where oranges were sold, and looked at the price, the cheapest is what California oranges, three pounds a dollar, but Ju An smelled, why is it so stinky, so he took Wang Fan and walked away, Wang Fan also said sullenly: "Buy a few and try it, maybe it's like our domestic stinky tofu, it smells stinky and tastes good."
Ju An glanced at him and said, "Okay, then take a few, but don't put other things together, carry it yourself, I'm afraid of polluting other things, don't go home when the time comes, everything smells of California oranges."
As soon as Wang Fan heard Ju An say this, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, return to the ranch with it in your arms, maybe it will make my brother smell."
Following Ju An and Wang Fan pushed the cart and walked for a while, the things had been put full of carts, Ju An looked at it, there were still some things that had not been bought, so he found a car, this next person a cart, followed Ju An found something novel, domestic parsley, Ju An took a handful, put it on his nose and smelled it, well, a fragrance went straight to the heart and spleen, a look at the price is really much more expensive for Chinese, a pound of RMB is almost ten yuan, Regardless of these, I got four or five handfuls of parsley, weighed it, and put it in the shopping cart.
Wang Fan said strangely: "What are you doing when you buy so much celery, and you can't eat so much, don't spoil it when the time comes."
Ju An said casually: "It's okay, let's eat celery dumplings tonight, I haven't eaten celery dumplings for so long here, as soon as I see this thing, my heart is like grass, and I want to eat it to death."
"You're really a foodie, but when you talk about celery dumplings, I also think a little bit, so let's go get some pork," Wang Fan said. The pace of pushing the cart also sped up a lot.
When the two of them arrived at the meat counter, Wang Fan saw the price of pork and said: "This pork is not cheap there, is it so difficult to raise a pig now, look at the pound here is more than two dollars."
Ignoring Wang Fan's discussion, he pointed to a piece of pork that looked almost fat and thin to the clerk and said, "Bring me this piece of meat, and then help me grind it into minced meat."
The clerk's hands and feet were very nimble, and he asked Ju An: "Sir, you are Chinese, do you want to put some green onions or ginger in the meat filling, generally Chinese people come to buy some such things." Ju An listened, damn, don't look at it as a foreign guy, this professional, I didn't expect to put these, followed the clerk and the young man said thank you, and then asked him to put some ginger and shallots and the like into the hanging.
After a while, it was done, a total of more than ten pounds of meat filling, Ju An took the meat filling, put it on the shopping cart, Wang Fan said: "Damn, you kid is crazy, ten catties of meat filling, when do you want to eat."
Ju An said: "In addition to eating all kinds of soy products, old Thomas loves Chinese dumplings, and every time I make them, I will take them with me, and these will disappear after three meals at most."
Wang Fan thought for a while and nodded his head and said: "That's right, you are an idler in your ranch, and you can also maximize your value by doing logistics work for everyone, don't let Lao Mei feel that we are all foodies, oops, it's bad, the image of our old middle school has been ruined by you, don't work all day long, wander around, give you the whole bird cage, get a horse coat, and get rid of a modern version of the Eight Banners disciple."
Ju An pointed at Wang Fan and scolded: "Your uncle's."
As soon as he thought about smelling Wang Fan's two sentences, he heard a standard Chinese Mandarin voice coming from the side: "The two brothers have just come from China." Ju An and Wang Fan saw that a man in his forties was pushing a cart and a woman of the same age was standing next to him.
Listening to the friendly Chinese, Ju An replied: "I have been here for a few months, my name is Ju An, and this is Wang Fan who just came from China."
The man in his forties said: "My name is Lu Guangyuan, this is my wife, Chang Dongna, both of us came from the capital of China, we have been in Great Falls City for more than ten years, we bought a farm in the suburbs, planting some flowers and corn or something."
Ju An smiled and said hello to the two, and then said: "I don't live in Great Falls, I live in Lewistown, I bought a ranch there, just started to get it, and raised some cattle and sheep."
Lu Guangyuan asked with a smile: "You won't be the rich man who spent tens of millions to buy a big ranch."
Wang Fan asked strangely: "I said he is so famous?" Even you've heard of it? ”。
Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's you, it was reported in the newspapers during that time, but there are no photos, saying that a rich Chinese man spent tens of millions to buy a large ranch, many old Americans I know have seen the news and sighed that they are really rich, now many Americans think that Chinese are rich, last time I read a newspaper, which introduced the daughter of a Chinese rich man to study in the United States, looked at a house of more than three million, waited for her parents to come over, looked at it and said, where can this house live, The American agent next to him was stunned, and finally chose a villa of more than 5 million yuan before he was satisfied. The newspaper lamented that the Chinese are really rich."
Ju An said with a smile: "I don't have much money, I love horseback riding when I was in China, I wanted to get a ranch to raise horses, and finally I saw that pasture, there are mountains and waters, we Chinese care about things are alive, I bought it, now it is just starting, and there are still not many cattle and sheep."
Chang Dongna said with a smile: "When we first came from China, we didn't understand anything, at that time, Lao Lu did a few years of Sino-Russian trade and made a little fortune, and then slowly the business in Russia became more and more difficult to do, and the children were older, considering the children's study, they went to the United States and set up a farm, at that time there were few Chinese here, except for the restaurant on our family, how many years have it been, Chinese here are sixty or seventy, everyone often gathers, or, Come to us at noon today, recognize the door, and then move around more."
Wang Fan said: "That's so troublesome for you."
The husband and wife listened to Ju'an, and the two agreed, and they were even happier.
