Monimbell straightened his clothes, and he looked around. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

It's already time.

He's leaving the United States. received information from his colleague that Mourningbell had been blacklisted and could be caught at any time, so he finally went crazy on the Internet...... Then, he was leaving the United States.

Because of Mourningbel's move, the Internet in the United States was completely boiling, and at this time, the "Cow nǎi and Bread" group had also been formed and entered the United States, and their first task this time was to cooperate with Mourning Bell in this operation.

Morningbel's operation can be described as a great success.

The whole of the United States has become a mess, and although the Americans have introduced various measures, under the impetus of the "Niu nǎi and Bread" group, the people have once again become dissatisfied with the United States, and this dissatisfaction has become more and more strict recently, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Soviet Union.

However, Monimbell did not know that as more and more people expressed their opinions on the Internet, more and more people began to look forward to the early standardization of the Internet.

Moningbell didn't know much about the specific work of the "Cow Nǎi and Bread" group, all he knew was that the group was carrying out a plan called "Five Rubles".

At this time, the people waiting for the joint have already come.

"It's time to go, Andrei."

"Yes."

Monimbell tightened his trench coat and followed him.

The two made their way to the pier and entered the cruise ship to Hawaii through the GuòVIP passage.

There is no security check in the VIP lane, and even metal objects can be easily brought in, so it is very convenient to walk this way.

What's more, the VIP channel is less crowded and safe, and you can avoid the eyes and ears.

As an organization on par with the KGB, they are not vegetarians - of course, they are not at all as powerful as they were later, they have only been developed for a few decades, and they are still very young.

Getting on the steamer, Morningbell breathed a sigh of relief. A career as a spy all the time...... It's finally come to an end.

The life of a spy is not as thrilling as it was in 007. The daily life of a spy is sometimes more boring and boring than the life of ordinary people.

The daily life of a spy is to make himself look like an ordinary person, or even more ordinary than an ordinary person.

That's how Morningbell has always lived.

USSR?

For Monimbel, the Soviet Union was a paradise, he was developed as a Soviet spy at a very young age, and he didn't know much about the Soviet Union, because he lived in the United States most of the time - as an "American" of Slavic origin.

"Her mission isn't over yet?"

Mourning Bell was referring to Rebecca.

"Well, she will continue to stay and 'serve the princess.'"

Another meaning of this sentence is to prepare to stay and spy on Catherine.

Monimbell thought for a moment, then said, "I think we can get the 'Prince' to reach her, and although it may not be successful, we always need to try. ”

The prince is referring to the "crow".

"Well, let's think about this again, and it would be best if we could think of a way to deal with her."

"Haven't considered an assassination?" Monimbell asked suddenly.

"Although the other party has a strong scientific and technological force, it is relatively not too heavy, and if we carry out assassination operations casually, it will only make us passive. And the 'princess' seems to sympathize with us too**, at least the other party doesn't rule us out. Rather than assassination, we want to be able to develop the other side. ”

- That Catherine. Miss Edson is not such a person.

Rebecca has collected a lot of information, and he knows that very well.

Catherine has always maintained a neutral attitude towards doctrine, which is simply a "magic thing", which is only used against the enemy when it is useful, and is simply a ridiculous prop.

Catherine has always done things according to her own heart.

"Hopefully we can succeed."

In the end, Mourning Bell said the same. He was, after all, a Soviet, and he preferred victory for his homeland.

……

"Looks like the Internet is a lot more famous than you, Kate."

Ida sat on Catherine's couch, and then looked at the "Los Angeles Times" in her hand, which was talking at length about this Internet time, and no one thought that things would turn out like this! The energy and passion of the youth is unimaginable.

In fact, the heckling media and the Soviet Union also played a big role in this matter, and even their help was in a sense the most important.

"Isn't that just right?" Catherine said with a smile.

"Kate, don't you like being a celebrity?" Ida tilted her head.

"It depends on how you become famous, and I don't want to have a bunch of paparazzi behind me every day...... Well, that's not a good feeling. ”

Even now, Catherine occasionally encounters such a situation when she goes out, being recognized, and then asking for an autograph...... Luckily, Catherine is usually very careful, so nothing went wrong. But if you do become a big star, then the situation is different.

"Don't you feel the thrill of being looked up to? Sense? ”

"The ...... of admiration Fast...... Feeling ......"

Catherine's mind suddenly appeared in the situation where she was walking down the street and then receiving the wishes of the crowd......

This feeling......

"Kate, what do you think of that feeling?"

Ida looked at Catherine excitedly.

But Catherine shook her head.

"No, it's different, it's really different......"

"You must be thinking, right?"

Catherine shook her head.

"You must be thinking, right?"

Catherine continued to shake her head.

"You think you're thinking about that wonderful feeling, right?"

"I'm not going to be like those naïve people!" Catherine is tsundere. Honestly, that feeling...... Seems really good? Isn't there a saying that says, "Life in the world is just the word 'fame and fortune'." Now that I have "profit", what about "fame"?

"Okay, okay."

Ida pouted.

"Ada, you're excited today, what's wrong?" Catherine asked curiously.

"A good thing." Ida held out her finger, and she looked a little mysterious.

"A good thing?"

"Yes, I auditioned successfully for the filming of 'Theme is Roses', and I'm now playing a supporting role in it, and I'm working with Jack. Mr. Albertson still has the same stage~"

"The Theme is Roses", or "Rose Resentment", "Subjs-roses", Catherine doesn't seem to have heard of this film in her memory, but Jack. Albertson's name seems to have some impression - he won the Oscar for supporting actor for this film. But Catherine didn't know any of these things.

"That's congratulations." Catherine wished her heartily, and then something suddenly occurred to her: "By the way, Ada, do you want to go to Chinatown with us this week?" ”

"Chinatown?" Ida didn't know why Catherine made this request.

"The Chinese are celebrating the New Year, and it's like our Christmas, which is fun." Catherine said with a smile: "And San Francisco's Chinatown is more authentic, which will definitely give you a refreshing feeling." ”

"Oh, that sounds so good~ Maybe I can change into a cheongsam? Oh, I can't wait~"

Americans are adventurous and curious, and Catherine has already picked up Ada's curiosity by now.

"It doesn't matter what you wear, but the color must be red."

"Red? Why? Ida clearly didn't know anything about Chinese customs.

"This is a custom of the Chinese. They believe that red represents festivity. ”

"It's the opposite of ours......" Ida shrugged.

……

January is finally coming to an end, and for Americans, it's just an ordinary month, Christmas is over, and New Year's is over. It's a new year, and everyone has to embark on a new life.

For the Chinese, their New Year has just begun.

Because of this, many foreigners who come here will come to Chinatown to join in the fun.

Catherine: The same goes for them.

"There are so many ...... people"

As soon as she got out of the car, Ida sighed.

"It's a rare opportunity to experience an exotic place, how could they let it go?"

This is San Francisco, and Catherine and the four of them drove for nearly an hour to get here.

"That's Chinatown over there, right?"

Ida looked curiously at the distance not far away.

Nestled in the corner of a majestic and busy financial and business district, San Francisco's Chinatown is an old neighborhood with low-slung shophouses that are not as opulent and majestic as those built by Europeans and Americans.

Because the houses are low, it is impossible to see the contents without entering Chinatown.

"The world is for the public......

Catherine noticed one such plaque hanging from a house entering Chinatown.

"Wow, that's cool here! New York's Chinatown doesn't have that kind of feeling at all! ”

Ida exclaimed.

Chinatown is also known as Chinatown or Chinatown, and Catherine calls Chinatown as "". Chinatown is also home to a large number of Chinese in urban areas of other countries.

In big cities like London, Paris, and New York, there are Chinatowns.

"San Francisco's Chinatown is a little different from the rest of the world." Catherine explained.

"Really?" Lyreira looked at Catherine curiously.

Catherine nodded: "San Francisco Chinatown is the originator of San Francisco's municipal government, if you want to trace history, the history of Chinese in San Francisco can be traced back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries." ”

-- In 1846, the American warship USS Boshimao landed at what is now the Garden Corner in Chinatown and raised the first American flag. At that time, San Francisco was still known as Yerbabur, and six months later, the municipal government of San Francisco was officially established, and Yerbaburna was renamed San Francisco.

In 1807, Cantonese merchants arrived in the United States and sold Chinese silk, ceramics, seafood, tobacco and other products to the United States.

"At that time...... California should still belong to Mexico, right? ”

Lerella's knowledge of history doesn't seem to be very good.

"I remember that the United States had just finished fighting the Mexican War with the goal of achieving a 'destiny......"

Elsa remembers it quite well.

"Okay, girls, we're not here to discuss history, we're here to play!"

Catherine didn't want to come to see the Chinese New Year and miss her "previous life". If this turned into a general knowledge lesson, it was not what Catherine wanted.

Then, under the leadership of Catherine, everyone entered Chinatown from the "World for the Public" archway on Duban Street.

In an instant, it was as if everyone had entered another world.

As soon as I entered, I didn't see anything blue when I heard the sound of drums.

Then, everybody gradually got into this side.

Red lanterns are hung high, and dragon and lion dances are lively in the streets.

"It's fun!"

"This ...... When we were in Hong Kong, we seemed to have seen it, right? Elsa seemed to be reminiscing, "But the atmosphere is completely different......

"Of course, it's 'New Year.'"

Catherine said that no one here knew more about Chinese culture than she did.

Chinese culture has not been accepted by both Europeans and Americans, and even in the 21st century, there are very few people who can understand Chinese culture.

And in the 21st century, the number one enemy of the United States has also changed from the Soviet Union to China. However, the relationship between China and the United States is not the same as that of the Soviet Union and the United States, which are both friends and foes.

Although he seems to be so close to his previous life, his current life is completely incompatible with his previous life, and now he is in a place so close to his previous culture...... But it seems that he can no longer touch that world.

"Alas...... Wait for the birth of the world revolution and **, then everyone will be a family......"

Catherine pouted, she had always been an optimist, and she would not give up no matter how bad things were. Everyone has their own way, and since you're here, don't think about anything else.

Now that it has been decided, then the road to take, you must go on. Don't regret it, and you can't regret it.

At the end of January, the weather was still a little cold, and everyone was wearing coats. Ida, who was originally going to wear a cheongsam, also had to wear warmer clothes.

But in the lively atmosphere of Chinatown, the temperature seems to be gradually rising again.

The yellow face is a novelty for Westerners, and like Catherine, there are many European and American tourists here. They watched the lion dance in amazement, and then their cameras kept taking pictures.

The New Year in Chinatown seems to be a little different from the domestic one, and the meaning of "performance" here is more intense. Not only that, but most of the shops are still open, and their lives have become busier than before.

Catherine speculates that the reason for this is probably because the Chinese have their eyes on this part of the European and American market, and then want this way to attract people to watch lion dance performances and then spend money in Chinatown, which is their purpose.

I have to say that Chinese people are very business-minded people.

After watching the performance in the morning, it was almost noon, and everyone was hungry.

In Chinatown, restaurants are everywhere, but they are already full of tourists.

"Hmm...... What should we eat? Catherine looked around, for there were so many restaurants that she couldn't make up her mind.

"Let's go eat steamed buns!" ”

"Buns? What is that? ”

Ida apparently didn't know.

"It's a kind of food that is stuffed with ròu in flour and then steamed."

"That's a lot to listen to! Maybe we can give it a try? ”

"But for Chinese people, steamed buns are generally eaten early, maybe we should eat steamed buns as breakfast?" Elsa also discussed it seriously.

Women are always weird, they can sit together and talk about strange things with nothing to do, and then let the time pass away. But in the end, they didn't do anything, but they still thought they were living to the fullest...... It's weird.

Eventually, we found a shop together and walked in.

The food was served quickly, and Catherine ordered a basket of steamed buns and it didn't take long for them to be served.

"Oh, is this a bun? It's weird. ”

Ida curiously took a bun and then took a bite: "...... It tastes awesome! ”

"Is it really delicious?" Elsa also picked up a bun, "Hmm...... It's really good! ”

Elsa nodded as well.

"Yes, it's okay." Catherine agrees slightly - but unfortunately, there is no authentic Chinese food here.

The food here has been adapted to the tastes of Europeans and Americans.

Just as a Chinese meal in a novel turns an American into an admirer of Chinese culture, a dish that wants to adapt to the tastes of local residents must constantly be adapted to the tastes of the locals. Chinese food has entered the European and American markets, but it has also undergone great improvements, and it is not "authentic", even if it is Chinese themselves, they do not necessarily like this taste.

It works well, though. For example, in their previous life, KFC did the same thing when it entered the Chinese market.

- Meals such as the old Beijing ròu roll are proof of this.

To be honest, Catherine still prefers the tastes of Hong Kong. As for the Chinatown side of the United States, because most of the people are from Guangdong, the taste is closer to that side. But Catherine loves more than just a few dishes.

"Hmm...... I'll see what we're going to do in the afternoon......" Lerella thought for a moment and said, "Unfortunately, I can't take you to see those herbs, if I could have seen that kind of magical thing, it would have been really interesting!" ”

Many of Lerella's massage skills are obtained from Chinese medicine practitioners here and from self-study, and it seems that she admires Chinese medicine very much.

"Maybe we should go buy a few clothes?" Ida built yì.

"Hmmm......"

Catherine looked out the window.

"New Year's ......"

……

Ahem, the discussion should be harmonious, and I will delete some harmonious content.

In addition, today is Nihe~
