**********
It's just that in the way and method of pursuing these American girls, you have to be more active, more bold, more direct, express it if you like, don't twist and pinch, praise when you should praise, don't be insensitive, if you dare to express it, just qiēok!
But after that, it didn't take long for Jin Muchen to have a girlfriend like Ma Ling, and he had no chance to apply the experience he learned from his predecessors.
Chinese girls and American girls are two different creatures, although their essence is the same, but their way of thinking and life habits are very different.
Originally, he thought that he had no chance to use the experience of the white girl he heard from his predecessors, but he didn't expect the opportunity to appear today, and he just tested it, and it seems that the effect seems to be very good.
Western girls like Candace are really very fond of this, although what Jin Muchen said is a bit exaggerated, but the beauty opposite is smiling, which is the best proof of the success of his strategy.
The subway braked suddenly, the carriage shook violently, Candace and Jin Muchen did not stand firm, both of them instinctively raised their hands to grab the railing by the door, but they didn't expect Candace to take a step ahead, but Jin Muchen grabbed Candace's hand at once.
The speed of the subway began to slow down, and it reached a stop in front, but at this time, Jin Muchen didn't mean to let go.
And Candace just blushed, but he didn't say anything, just let Jin Muchen's big hand cover her slender jade hand holding the railing, his palms were all calloused, very rough, but very dry, very warm, which gave her an inexplicable sense of security......
The door opened, and soon a group of people squeezed in, there were a lot of people on the train at this station, and the flow of people squeezed Candace standing at the door to the ground, and at this time, Jin Muchen naturally stretched out his hand and took Candace into his arms.
At this time, he is like a reef by the sea, let you wind and rain, the waves are high, but I don't move, no matter how many people squeeze over, but when I hit him, they are naturally bounced away.
Candace who was stopped in his arms felt as if he was going to faint, he had a faint smell of sweat and tobacco, which smelled very good, and his thick chest was so warm and warm, in his arms, she suddenly felt so safe.
"By the way, where are we going today?"
The subway started slowly, Candace pushed Jin Muchen away, got out of his arms, and hurriedly found a topic to break the awkward relationship between the two.
"Huh? I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm just a little hungry, so why don't we go to Chinatown for morning tea? ”
Jin Muchen naturally said to Candace that he doesn't like many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, but the morning tea in those Cantonese restaurants is still quite good, and the taste is not only liked by foreigners, but also by him.
"Good! When you say that, I happen to be a little hungry! ”
Candace raised his head and smiled sweetly at Jin Muchen.
Jinfeng is one of the most famous and largest Cantonese tea houses in Chinatown, located at 24 Elizabeth Street, with a typical Chinese decoration style, red as the main tone, red carpet, golden dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, in the eyes of Americans, this is the most authentic Chinese restaurant.
Since you come for Cantonese morning tea, you can't miss some classic dishes, such as shrimp siu mai, shrimp dumplings, Teochew noodles, cheong fun, chicken feet with soy sauce, pork ribs with soy sauce, cheong fun, and of course, the shop's signature durian crisp.
It is said that this durian crisp is made with the freshest durian flown in from Thailand every day, and there is a limited supply of 200 durians per day, so you can't grab it when you come late.
And here is not only the traditional Cantonese morning tea refreshments, but also a lot of food stall snacks on the streets of Yangcheng, such as blanched vegetables, bowl wings, radish brisket, medicinal chicken feet, all kinds of food stall-style street snacks, traditional food.
Jin Muchen had been here with Ma Ling a few times before, and even at that time, every time he came here to consume, the price of consumption would make him a little painful.
But not now, because at that time, after all, he was spending his parents' money, and now he is spending his own money, not to mention that he has been really rich recently.
Of the 28,000 to buy antiques, he sent back 25,000 to his mother in China, and kept 3,000 for himself, plus he just opened his salary a few days ago, and some of his previous savings, and now he has a deposit of more than 10,000 yuan, so he is very confident at this time.
Candace's chopsticks are very good, but when I eat Chinese food, I always exclaim twice from time to time, these foods are so wonderful and taste great.
When foreigners praise food, they usually use words like nice, good, but if he says so, it is usually said verbally, and he may not be serious in his heart.
But if he used delicious, it means that he is serious, this food is indeed delicious, and Candace used the word delicious several times in front of Jin Muchen, indicating that she was really happy to eat today, and this food is really delicious to her.
"What? I see you're pretty skilled with chopsticks, so you've probably eaten Chinese food before? How can these snacks make you feel so delicious today? ”
Jin Muchen sat opposite with a smile and asked casually.
"It's really not, our family used to rarely eat Chinese food, my dad always said that Chinese food is very oily, salt is very heavy, not healthy food, so our family eats very little......"
"Therefore, my family used to rarely eat Chinese food, and more often ate Thai and Vietnamese food, and my chopsticks were practiced at that time."
To be honest, as a guy from a big foodie empire, Jin Muchen felt really uncomfortable when he heard others comment on Chinese food like this, but he couldn't help but admit such a fact.
That is, although Chinese food is delicious, in fact, from a nutritional point of view, it is really not particularly healthy, especially those dishes that are high in salt and oil.
For example, many of the ways in which Chinese food deals with green vegetables are stir-fried at high temperatures, which will actually destroy the crude fiber and vitamin B5 of green vegetables, while foreigners eat them as soon as they are scalded in hot water, although this way of eating is boring, but from the perspective of nutrition, it is indeed the healthiest way to eat.
Before he went abroad, he thought it was true, but after two years in the United States, when he saw such a post again, he could only laugh and pass by.
In fact, in foreign countries, foreigners' attitudes towards Chinese food are generally divided into three types, one is liking, one is dispensable, and the other is absolute resistance.
And most foreigners, when it comes to Chinese food, the first impression is that it is unhealthy, in addition to being delicious!
Some people may say, since you say that foreigners eat healthy, why are they all so fat?
In fact, this is still related to their eating habits, in addition to fried food, many foreigners are inseparable from one thing in their lives, that is, cheese, all kinds of cheese, hard, soft, solid, liquid, sour, sweet, salty, spicy, and even smelly.
Nima, the world of foreign devils, is full of all kinds of cheese, almost all meals are indispensable, even if you watch TV at night and eat potato chips, you have to dip yogurt, and eat two slices of biscuits with a slice of dry cheese......
It's true that cheese is a good thing, but most of the inside of that thing is actually fat, and all kinds of flavors of cheese, as long as you chew it with your eyes closed, in the end, there is one conclusion, that is: fragrant!
Can it be all fat and not fragrant? This is also a key factor why foreign women, who are generally invincible before the age of 30, but after the age of 30, they are easy to gain weight and lose shape, because they eat too much cheese.
However, Jin Muchen came out with Candace today, but it was not why he came to discuss with her, the difference between Chinese and foreign diets, and the reason why foreign women are prone to gaining weight, so he quickly found a conversation and diverted the topic.
"By the way, what are we going to do after morning tea later? You know, after all, you're more familiar with this place than I am, and I've not been in New York for long. ”
"Haha, this sentence, even if you asked the right person, I am not particularly familiar with other places in New York like you, but when it comes to Manhattan, I am very familiar with this place, so you can follow me later."
Candace smiled and said to Jin Muchen, and soon the two swept away the food in front of them, checked out the teahouse, Candace led the way in front, turned a few corners familiarly, and then a tree-lined street appeared in front of the two.
"Mu Chen, you said that you and Old Man Fang are learning about antiques, you should have a certain understanding of antiques, so I think you should like it very much here."
Candace looked at the bustling street in front of him and said to Jin Muchen next to him.
It turned out that there was a Swan Park not far from Chinatown, and there was a Hester Street on the side of the park, and every Saturday and Sunday, there would be a small handicraft and antique bazaar, and today Candace brought Jin Muchen to this place.
There were twenty or thirty small handicraft shops on both sides of Hester Street, and when the market was held on weekends, there were many small vendors who came to participate in the market, and they were selling everything.
There are those who sell their own handicrafts, there are those who sell second-hand goods, and of course, most of them buy antiques, so the nature of this place is very similar to those small antique markets in China.
So every weekend, it will be full of people, which is a beautiful scenery near Manhattan's Chinatown
