Chapter 890: New York's Chinatown
Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu watched the two little ruffians walk away, and then looked at the middle-aged uncle behind them, it is really not simple, this middle-aged uncle.
"What's the matter, two lads, is there anything on my face? You look at me like that? The middle-aged man asked.
"I just came in a hurry, haven't you introduced yourself to your uncle? It turns out that you are Uncle Jian, and I am fortunate to be happy. We're two cousins, you know. I am my cousin Lu Dayu, this is my cousin's name Lu Xiaoyu. "Supreme Treasure knows the name he uses in the Republic, and Supreme Treasure will definitely be laughed at by others if it is placed in modern times. If you use your original name, you are afraid that it will be confused with Lu Xiaoyu's name, so you simply use the name Lu Dayu used when he came here last time.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Jian was stunned when he heard his name, "Your name is Lu Dayu, your name is Lu Xiaoyu?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Jian, have you heard the names of the two of us?"
"It's a coincidence, there's no ......"
"Well, well! The origin of our two brothers has told you before, we are all with our own home-made bronze handicrafts want to be brought to the United States to sell, but it is really young and vigorous, I didn't expect to find that we don't know who to sell this bronze after arriving in the United States. I thought that there were a lot of our compatriots in the Chinatown of the United States, so I wanted to come here to ask about the situation, but I didn't expect to meet you, Uncle Jian. You don't mind if we call you that, do you? "The Supreme Treasure made up a lie to get by.
This Uncle Jian already knew that most of what the Supreme Treasure said was false, but he didn't break it, but nodded and said indifferently: "It's okay, everyone calls me Uncle Jian, my real name is Huang Jian." It doesn't matter if you call me by my real name, my name is just a symbol, it doesn't matter. ”
In this way, Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu and Uncle Jian are officially acquainted, and from the conversation, Supreme Treasure also learned that Uncle Jian, who was nearly fifty years old, followed his parents to the United States to make a living. Because his family is poor, he lives in a dirty and messy rental house in Chinatown. When he was a teenager, he saw all the oppression and suffering suffered by his parents in Chinatown, so he was inspired to become a talent, and finally through his own efforts, he was admitted to the best university in the United States and became a top student. Now he is also the first Chinese designer in the history of the United States to be responsible for the construction of Chinatown, so he often goes in and out of Chinatown.
But as for why those little gangsters would bow their heads and give him face after seeing Uncle Jian, Supreme Treasure was a little puzzled. If it is because of Uncle Jian's identity and status, Supreme Treasure feels that it should not be, looking at Uncle Jian's appearance, he looks a little like a character in the gang, but he didn't expect that he is still a cultural person. Supreme Treasure originally wanted to introduce this topic and ask why those little gangsters were so afraid of Uncle Jian, but Uncle Jian seemed to know that they would ask about it, so he deliberately avoided this topic every time and did not mention it.
Fortunately, the Supreme Treasure also found out a very important news, that is, this powerful Uncle Jian actually knew the ambassador of the Celestial Empire in the United States! This is really a great news, because the Supreme Treasure is worried that their bronzes don't know what path to use to sell, this time God is really helping them, bringing Uncle Jian to them, so that they can contact the high-level of the embassy through Uncle Jian to sell these Nanchu cultural relics.
