Chapter 583: An Unexpected Encounter
Since it is a dinner invitation, Han Li naturally wants to find a better restaurant, the best is a Chinese restaurant, which has more national characteristics.
Fortunately, it is close to Silicon Valley, which is home to some of the best people from all over the world, so the restaurant industry here is also very international. And San Francisco itself is also one of the main Chinese communities in North America, so there are many Chinese restaurants, and there are many Chinese restaurants that have not been improved in time.
Han Li's Chinese restaurant in this situation is such a Chinese restaurant held by Jiangnan people, in addition to Jiangnan Huaiyang cuisine, this restaurant also provides Sichuan cuisine. Even considering the season, this restaurant actually provides authentic skewers, which also surprised Han Li.
And when Han Li went out to find a restaurant, Qi Ran quickly became familiar with the two girls. And through Jessie, Qi Ran also met three other classmates, two graduate students and one undergraduate, all of whom were students at Stanford University. In this case, let's come together, Han Li was very happy to invite him over.
The broad and profound Chinese food culture naturally makes everyone very excited. Because of this meal, everyone quickly became familiar with it. During the meal, Han Li tactfully proposed that everyone could take more care of Qi Ran in the future, and everyone agreed very happily.
People have a process of contact, in this process, everyone will observe whether the person is in tune with themselves and what the character is, so as to consider further contact or communication. And from this short relationship, Han Li felt that Qi Ran's new friends were not bad.
And this group of friends also think that Han Li and Qi Ran, a couple from the East, are also very good. Not only did the crowd leave each other's phone calls, but they also left ICQ. Of course, Qi Ran and they also followed each other's Twitter, but Han Li didn't have a relationship in China, which made everyone regretful.
Lao Mei is not popular to go to KTV after dinner, so after a pleasant meal, everyone said goodbye to each other.
Because Qi Ran's luggage was still in the hotel, and Han Li was still in Laomei, Qi Ran did not live with the two roommates, but stayed in the hotel.
Maybe it was because he drank some wine, or because Han Li was about to return to China, Qi Ran, who returned to the hotel, was very excited and active, and asked Han Li four times in one night. If it weren't for being too tired, it is estimated that Qi Ran would still want it.
So much so that Han Li couldn't wake up at all the next morning, and Qi Ran didn't pull him up, but took care of him and went to the apartment alone with his luggage.
During the start of school, she still has a lot of things to do, so she doesn't have much time to spend with Han Li.
slept until twelve o'clock, and Han Li, who had a sore back, got up from the bed with a yawn. With heavy dark circles under his eyes and weak legs, the price of this night's fun is too obvious.
made a call to Qi Ran, and it turned out that Qi Ran was visiting the tutor with his classmates, and asked Han Li to arrange it himself.
In this regard, Han Li shook his head and hung up the phone, and then came to the hotel's restaurant alone to eat something.
After eating, Han Li finally came to his senses. I can't sleep in the hotel again, and Qi Ran is busy, so Han Li can only plan to go out for a spin and pass the time.
Carrying the camera, Han Li began to wander aimlessly. When he encounters people and things that he is interested in, he records them with his camera. Originally, he just took photos for tourists, but he didn't expect that he would soon become the object of the tourists' tugging.
There is no it, because the photos sent by Han Li are better, which is regarded as a professional photographer.
finally asked the tourists, but Han Li got lost. Originally, he just wanted to ask someone for directions, but he didn't expect him to make an unexpected discovery.
It's an indoor shooting range, or sports arena, on the edge of Silicon Valley. It's actually common in old American gun and gun shops, but it's rare to see a dedicated indoor shooting range like this.
Generally, the shooting range that is common in the United States is either a large outdoor shooting range in the suburbs, or a small shooting range attached to the gun shop.
The larger indoor shooting range, or sports hall, that came to Han Li, is more special. The reason why it is special is also due to the environment in which it is located.
Located in Silicon Valley, it is considered a high-end community in the San Francisco Greater Bay Area. The white-collar workers and tycoons of the entire San Francisco are here, because this is also the area where gun control is relatively strict in the San Francisco Greater Bay Area.
Han Li can also find on the streets, the number of police in this area is significantly higher than in other areas, and basically every street has police officers of all colors patrolling.
Officially, because of this, there are no gun shops in this area. But in the United States, firearms are a kind of culture, and they are still liked by many people, especially men.
And in Silicon Valley, whether it is a white-collar worker or a young entrepreneur, there is a lot of pressure, and I hope to have a place to vent my stress. An indoor shooting range with good facilities like this has become a place for many young white-collar workers to come and relax.
As a military fan, as a man, I instinctively have a desire and love for firearms. When he knew that this was an indoor shooting range, Han Li couldn't walk.
To be honest, it was not what he imagined, when Han Li vented after entering, it was more like a domestic entertainment venue. There are not only snack shops, but also small shops.
On some of the seats in the hall, Han Li can still see many parents with their children coming here, some are eating French fries and cola, and some are playing with electric cars.
When he learned of Han Li's intention, the waiter at the front desk called Han Li a Chinese-speaking Chinese, in his thirties, surnamed Shen. Originally from Hokkien, Lao Mei, who came with his parents, has settled in San Francisco since then, and is currently a firearms safety officer or instructor at this indoor shooting range.
When he met someone like Han Li, who had just come from China, he was very happy and very enthusiastic to help Han Li introduce the situation here. At his enthusiastic request, Han Li also affectionately called him Ah Yong.
According to Ah Yong, this indoor shooting range is a high-end club model, and it receives members on weekdays, and generally does not accept individual visitors. But in order to attract members, it will provide a half-day member experience day for individual visitors.
In other words, Han Li can use this way to experience membership services this time.
Ah Yong guided Han Li to sit down first, and according to Han Li's preferences, he asked for lemonade for him. Then I brought him a few information forms, and very intimately helped him get the Chinese version, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Han Li also looked through this information form carefully, and discussed the precautions for entering the indoor shooting range from the instructions for entering the shooting range.
There is an insurance policy to protect against claims arising from accidents when using firearms.
There is also a questionnaire with a number of options, mainly to find out if the customer has a history of using firearms, as well as other basic information.
