Rotai looked at the sunset in the west and said to Matilda, "Let's go." ”

The two walked side by side towards the city, and on the way Rotai looked down and asked Matilda, "Are you hungry?" Matilda nodded. Luo Tai continued: "Do you like Chinese food? ”

"Of course." Matilda said: "I've heard that Chinese food is the best food in the world, but I've never tried it. ”

"We stay in a hotel, I can't cook for you. Well, let's go to Chinatown to eat. Rotai said.

"Okay." Matilda said happily.

How many Chinatowns there are in the United States, no one may know the cut number, because wherever there is a Chinese population, people will naturally mark it with the mark of Chinese color. Whether it is called Chinatown, Chinatown, Chinatown or INA Town, it is the foothold and base of Chinese life.

There are about 500,000 Chinese people in New York City, but only 80,000 people live and do business in Manhattan's Chinatown, which is already the largest Chinese town in the Western Hemisphere, so some people are proud to call New York Chinatown "America's Chinatown".

However, what is strange is that Chinatowns in other cities in the United States, such as Washington, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston and other cities, have beautiful archways as landmarks, but New York's Chinatown has no plaques, only the bronze statue of Lin Zexu standing in Jishilinguo Square and the statue of Confucius in front of the Confucius Building tell the people that this is Chinatown.

By the time Rotai and Matilda arrived in Chinatown, night had fallen, but it was still lively. Kenney Road and Baoli Street in Chinatown are full of Chinese-owned restaurants, jewelry stores, wedding photo studios, employment agencies, travel companies, and roughly more than 500 restaurants. There are more than 260 jewelry stores and 25 very good. These shops and storefronts not only provide extremely convenient services for Chinese people in the United States, but also open up a good place for Chinese children who have lived on the other side for a long time to relieve homesickness.

On Baoli Street, Luo Tai found a restaurant called "Louwailou", which mainly deals in Shanghai-Hai cuisine. After he brought Matilda inside, the waiter very kindly arranged for the two to sit at the table near the window, and handed the menu to Rotai.

The menu is available in both Chinese and English fonts. Rotai looked at it and asked Matilda, "What would you like to eat?" ”

Matilda shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know anything about Chinese food, you can watch it." ”

Luo Tai picked up the menu sideways and said to the waiter, "Let's have a few snacks." Two more bowls of soup. The waiter took the menu and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys wait a minute." ”

"How many years have you been in the United States? Still born in the United States. Matilda put her chin on her hand and asked Rotai.

Luo Tai spoke: "It's not a long time. ”

"No wonder you know kung fu, there are not many people who grow up in the United States who can do kung fu, can you teach me?" Matilda was still thinking about the figure when Luo Tai practiced the knife just now.

"You want to learn to shoot in a while. If you want to learn kung fu for a while, you can only learn one of these two things. Luo Tai said with a smile.

Matilda's eyes rolled. Then he said, "Learn Kung Fu." ”

Rotai looked out the window. Then he said: "Kung Fu is not easy to learn, and it will endure hardships. ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship." Matilda blurted out.

"Okay, then from tomorrow, we will go to which forest to practice martial arts every day." Rotai said.

"Hmm." Matilda nodded.

As he spoke, the waiter brought the food. Rotai picked up the chopsticks and asked Matilda, "Do you know how to use chopsticks?" ”

Matilda took the chopsticks in her hand and fiddled back and forth a few times. Then he shook his head at Rotai.

"So, look at me." Luo Tai said as he picked up a small bun with his chopsticks and slowly put it in his mouth. Seeing Rotai's appearance, Matilda also picked up the chopsticks and picked up the buns as a cat. Her little hand trembled and picked up a bun. However, he fell before he could move.

Seeing this, Rotai stood up, walked around Matilda and stretched out his arms around her, and then taught Matilda how to use chopsticks.

After studying for a long time, Matilda finally picked up a bun and successfully moved it to her mouth, she was very proud, but before she could put it in her mouth, the bun fell on the table.

"Oh buy it, it's so hard, eating a meal like this will exhaust me to death." Matilda grumbled.

"Hehe, you better use a fork." Rotai said.

"No, I'm going to try." Matilda stubbornly continued to clip the buns, she took a lot of effort, and finally put the buns to her mouth, and just about to open her mouth, the "pop" buns fell on the table again.

"Smack!" Matilda put down her chopsticks, looked at Luo Tai, who was chewing deliciously, and frowned slightly and said, "I can't eat this meal." I'm too tired to eat Chinese food. ”

Luo Tai unhurriedly grabbed a bun with chopsticks, slowly handed it to Matilda's mouth, and said, "Open your mouth, you taste." ”

Matilda opened her small mouth, bit down on the bun, then held it with her hand and began to eat

Luo Tai shook his chopsticks and said: "The use of this thing does not require a lot of strength, but skill. You have to be patient, you know? In fact, it takes patience to learn anything. ”

Matilda didn't seem to hear Rotai's words, she helped with her hands, ate the bun by dividing it by two, and said while chewing: "Wow, it's so delicious, what kind of food is this, I've never eaten anything so delicious, Chinese food really lives up to its name." ”

"This is called 'steamed buns', and the taste here can only be average for me, and if you have the opportunity to taste my craftsmanship, you will never forget jì for the rest of your life." Luo Tai said confidently.

"You can cook too?" Matilda wiped her mouth and said.

"Of course, and it's delicious." Rotai said.

"Oh buy karma, you're a jack of all trades." Matilda spoke, put down her chopsticks and grabbed the bun with her hand and ate it. Luo Tai smiled at this.

"Does this look like an African native?" Matilda asked.

Luo Tai shook his head and said, "Buns can also be eaten with your hands." It's just that it's too hot when it comes out of the pot. ”

Matilda shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not hot now." ”

"Then you eat more, it looks like you're hungry, if it's not enough, I'm ordering." Rotai pointed to the dining table and said.

The two of them had a pleasant meal, and through this kind of communication, the distance between the two was shortened.

"How old are you?" After eating, the two walked out of the restaurant, and on the way back, Matilda asked Rotai.

"Twenty-three." Rotai said.

"Should I call you uncle or brother?" Matilda said.

"Call me brother, call me uncle, as if I'm very old." Rotai said.

"Brother Luo, hmm, or Brother Tai, is that like this?"

"You better just call me Luo Tai."

"Poof." Matilda laughed, she shook her head and said, "I'll call you Uncle Luo." ”

Luo Tai stopped and said, "Am I really that old?" ”

"Of course not, but I like to call you uncle." Matilda said.

"God, well, whatever you want." Rotai shook his head and continued walking.

"Are you married?" Matilda continued.

"Nope."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nope."

"What did your parents do?"

"I don't have parents"

"Neither do the parents? Did you come out of a crack in the ground? ”

"Matilda." Luo Tai stopped again, and then said: "When I was just eating, I was in a good mood, and I was thinking about how to avenge you, but now my mood has deteriorated again, and the reason is your chatter. ”

"I'm sorry." Matilda laughed, "I didn't expect you to have no sense of humor at all. ”

"I don't have a sense of humor?" Luo Tai shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll tell you a joke, see if you laugh?" ”

"Okay. But I don't laugh at ordinary jokes. Matilda said.

"Listen, there's a boss who took three employees on a plane, and the plane broke down halfway and he needed to parachute, but four people only had three parachutes. So, the boss asked employee A, 'How many suns are there?' A employee replied 'one'. OK, give you an umbrella; Then he asked Employee B, 'How many moons are there?' 'B replied' 'A' OK, I'll give you a hand, C employee saw that the question was so simple and happily waited for an answer, so the boss asked, 'How many stars?' When employee C heard this, he said, "Boss, I'll jump off by myself." As he spoke, he jumped off the plane with a whoosh hahaha," Rotai laughed himself.

Matilda, on the other hand, looked at Rotai with a blank face. Luo Tai stopped laughing suddenly, looked at Matilda with some embarrassment, and asked softly, "Well, isn't it bad?" You don't like it? ”

"Puff~~" Matilda suddenly laughed, and then said: "Teasing you, it's so funny"

Luo Tai is speechless (to be continued......)
