[Ran^Text^Library] Li Chuanfeng was selected in the 14th pick, which he didn't dare to think, how much thanks to Catherine's help, if it weren't for Catherine, Li Chuanfeng would not have been selected in such a high pick, as long as he was selected, then the next thing to look at his own strength, Li Chuanfeng is still yearning for his future life in American professional basketball, but Lin Feitao was not selected did make a few of them sad, but they had to separate, Li Chuanfeng and the four of them were going to their own teams to report, After the report, they had to come here for training, and Lin Feitao could only return to China silently, and Li Chuanfeng and the others went to their respective teams to report. Le-Wen

Although Lin Feitao is reluctant to go back, there is no way, he can only live in the CBA arena now, but gold is the most lossy, I wanted to continue to renew the contract with Li Chuanfeng and a few of them, but Li Chuanfeng and a few of them participated in the draft, which is somewhat like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis - I can't say if I have bitterness. Fortunately, Lin Feitao is back, which is somewhat comforting, but there is also good news that Li Chuanfeng and his junior brother, He Chuan, have returned to China, thinking of the professional league, gold immediately signed the three of them, but it is a one-year contract, but gold still more or less supplements the lack of personnel.

In this way, Li Chuanfeng and Catherine reported to the New Orleans Pelicans, a harbor city in southern Louisiana, USA, and the largest city in Luzhou. Administratively co-located with Orleans County. New Orleans is also a metropolis in the United States, an economic city in the United States, with a GDP of more than $180 billion in 2013, making it the most economically developed city in the state. New Orleans Metropolitan Population 378715 (2013) and Metropolitan Area Population 1240977 (2013). New Orleans was hit by Category 5 Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and suffered heavy damage. From 1997 to 2004, the population of New Orleans exceeded 790,000, but with the 2005 Hurricane Katrina, residents have evacuated New Orleans, and now the city's population is only more than 370,000, making it the second major city in the United States after Detroit to experience a large-scale decline in urban population. The southern port city of Louisiana, USA, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, is an important port city in Louisiana. Known for jazz and French colonial culture. The city of New Orleans is the largest city in the U.S. state of Louisiana and the second largest port city in the U.S. after New York. It is located in southeastern Louisiana, at the mouth of the lower Mississippi River and north of Lake Pontcharlane. The city covers an area of nearly 950 square kilometers, with a population of 500,000 in the urban area and 1.18 million in the Greater New Orleans area.

New Orleans has a humid subtropical climate, with an average temperature of 27.7C in July and 11.6C in January, with annual precipitation of 1440 mm and heavy rainfall in summer. The vicinity of the city is rich in oil, natural gas, sulphur and salt mines, rich in timber and cotton, sugar cane and rice. Climate Tip: The U.S. spans a very large east-west and north-south span, so the climate varies considerably across the country. Also in winter, the temperature drops to minus a few degrees Celsius in some areas, while in others you can bathe in the sea. Summers in the United States are very hot, and tourists should be prepared for "war heat"; But if you're traveling to the northern part of the United States, it's a good idea to bring a thick sweater or winter jacket, even in the summer, when the northern part of the country is cooler and even a little chilly at night.

Crescent City: New Orleans was founded at the mouth of the Mississippi River, and the "Upper City" and "Lower City" are both relative to the flow of the Mississippi River: one upstream and one downstream. Most of the roads up and down the city are parallel to the direction of the river, and the Mississippi River makes a big bend, and the roads also follow the twist and fall like a fan, so it is nicknamed "Crescent City".

City in the Water: It is said that the "Crescent City" of New Orleans is indeed a city in the water. The city is located about ten feet below sea level, with Lake Pontchartrain to the north and the Mississippi River to the south. Every year during hurricane season from June to October, New Orleanans keep an eye on where hurricanes make landfall. Hurricanes rotate counterclockwise, but if the eye of the storm moves to the left of Lake Pontchartrain after the hurricane makes landfall, and the wind blows the lake away to the north of the lake, New Orleans will be fine; But if it was on the right side of the lake, the water would pour into the city. Still, before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was still "drunk today and drunk tomorrow", and when the hurricane came, people would rather stay in the old city and pray for safety than evacuate in panic.

Big potholes on the road: New Orleans was originally a swamp under the city, and the roads in the city were repaired, but there was always a big hole suddenly appeared from time to time, coupled with the incompetence of the local government, there was always nothing to be done in the face of the problem of land subsidence, and the difference between the roads in the city was unique in the United States. After a long time, coming to New Orleans to experience the potholes on the road has become a scene for Nora.

French Old Architecture: Most of the most distinctive buildings in New Orleans are clustered in the Old Town of the French Quarter. During the 40 years of Spanish rule in New Orleans, two fires in the French Quarter burned down old French buildings, especially the one in 1788. The French buildings in the French Quarter are all wooden structures, and if a family accidentally catches fire in the middle of the night, the fire spreads quickly by the wind, and each family is equipped with ammunition and muskets, if the manpower is not organized in time to extinguish the whole city, it will become a sea of fire. The day the fire began in 1788 happened to be Friday, March 21, the anniversary of the Christian Crucifixion. The bells of St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square, in the heart of the French Quarter, were supposed to be used as fire alarms at the same time, but the pedantic priest refused to ring the bell on Holy Friday strictly according to Christian teachings. The fire quickly engulfed the whole of Old New Orleans with the help of the wind, and even the magnificent St. Louis Cathedral itself was reduced to ashes. Six years later, another fire broke out in the French Quarter, completely erasing the traces of French architecture in New Orleans. Today, the flamboyant and delicately carved peanut iron balconies in the French Quarter are all in the style of Spanish architecture, and only the "Madame John's House" on rue du May can still be glimpsed in the style of French country houses.

Street Wonder Cemetery: Aside from the French Quarter, the most distinctive building in the city is the cemetery. The tombs in New Orleans are completely different from the rest of the United States, and they are all "hanging coffins" on the ground. It's not that the people of New Orleans are nostalgic for the old and can't forget the dead, so they built a "city of the dead", but this part of New Orleans, there is a swamp under the surface, and if you dig a few more feet of graves, you will have to pour them back, and you can't soak the bodies of your ancestors in water. In this respect, the traditions of New Orleans are similar to those of many Caribbean island nations. The famous St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is just three blocks from Cemetery No. 2, with rusty black-railed iron gates separating rows of silent souls from the bustling highway outside. Many cemeteries are quite old, and these tombs are basically rectangular structures, ordinary ones are about two people high, and the top is either flat or triangular, and the original white exterior wall skin has long turned mottled gray. The front of the tomb is mostly a one-and-a-half-high stone slab door, and some are simply built with red bricks, and the outside is plastered with white ash. If you come across a new tomb that is being renovated, you can see the structure inside the tomb. Generally, the burial chamber is divided into two or three layers, the top one is used to place the coffin, and the lower part is the bones of the ancestors. The cemetery of the wealthy family was much grander, long and resembling a small "shotgun barrel room", with square corners and a flat roof with a huge white statue of an angel, or the Virgin Mary, in extraordinary style. The white ash of the stone doors of the cemetery, which had fallen into disrepair, had almost fallen, revealing the blackened old bricks inside. Just like the cityscape of New Orleans, where the rich and the poor are mixed, in the city of the soul, the rich and the poor are neighbors and do not disturb each other. New Orleans was founded 200 years ago, but the public drainage system was not built until the beginning of the 20th century, and even today, the drainage and sewerage system of the French Quarter is still a hundred years ago, and when it rains, because the groundwater will be poured back from the Mississippi River and Lake Pontcharten to the north to the basin of the old city, which is seven to twenty feet below sea level, the only drainage system has begun to "regurgitate", sewage has flowed uncontrollably on the stone streets, and the uninterrupted generosity of the drunks in the red light district throughout the year, Bourbon Street is forever full of ** The peculiar fishy taste. How is it that such a public health environment is not a hotbed of disease and pestilence! New Orleans has had several large-scale plagues in its history, a large number of deaths, two coffins in ordinary tombs were not enough, and a corner of the cemetery had to be temporarily renovated "coffin apartments". These "apartments" are much more modest than the single-family cemetery, with an oven-like structure, without any ornamentation, cast iron or statues, only the same mottled and peeling walls. Each coffin has a small square opening, and the coffin is placed from here until the family cemetery is empty, or until the day of frugality, and then return to the arms of the ancestors. The bones usually occur after a year of burial, when the coffin is opened, and the remains of the deceased are invited out of it, swept into the lowest level of the cemetery, and merged with the bones of the ancestors of the family, forever and forever.

Cuisine: New Orleans Clio is a mix of French, Spanish, Caribbean and African influences, and while it uses a lot of local Southern ingredients like Cajun food, it's closer to the traditional flavors of continental Europe and less spicy in taste. For example, the famous New Orleans seafood porridge is influenced by strong African and Indian cooking styles, and the main ingredients are shrimp and crab legs, and chicken thighs. Vegetables must be put in okra. The shape and color of okra are like green peppers, but the taste is relatively flat, but the texture is very smooth, and the juice is a little sticky, which feels similar to the thickening function in Chinese food. New Orleans eat red beans and rice every Monday. This Clio staple is made by boiling red beans into a paste and adding seasonings such as small-cut ham and the famous raw sausage of the South to give it a rich flavor. When eating, the red bean paste with ham and sausage is poured hot on top of the white rice, and the square sweet nest made of cornmeal is steamed, which is delicious and sweet. And on Fridays, it's time to have seafood porridge with crispy fried catfish. The skin of the thick piece of fish loin is fried to a salty and crispy edge, but the white meat inside is delicious and original. When eating, it is smeared with white cheese dipping sauce, served with chives and fried cornmeal balls, and drinks hot seafood porridge, which is so unpleasant. Other Creo dishes include seafood fried rice, crayfish rice, turtle soup, fried oysters, bread pudding, fried green tomatoes, and more. Rivaled to Creole cuisine is Cajun flavors, with spicy crayfish being the most famous seasonal Cajun food. Every year from January to March and April, the crayfish in Louisiana are almost grown and begin to migrate regionally. I know a friend who likes to go to the most abundant place for crayfish at this time of year, bring a few plastic bags, and pick the crayfish to wait for the rabbit. Louisiana's native crayfish are very large and fierce, but they are very stupid and go the same way every year, and they are picked up for nothing. Eating in most places in the United States, the so-called "spicy" is not worth mentioning compared to the spicy in Sichuan, Hunan, China, but the Cajun "Ma Xiao" in New Orleans is absolutely genuine, and you will never stop crying if it is not spicy. The days when eating "hemp small" are generally sunny and cloudless. Families buy pounds of spicy crayfish from restaurants and put them in brown paper bags to picnic in parks or lakes; Either it is a "hemp small" dinner organized by the company school, inviting a special cooking company to set up a large iron bucket and pour pounds of live crayfish and large bags of seasoning into it, and the workers stand on the ladder and wave a huge wooden spoon while cooking and stirring. A wooden table and stool were set up in the shade under the big oak tree, and each person served a large plate of bright red, with small red-skinned potatoes and bright yellow sweet corn, and began to eat! Whether it is an authentic southerner can be seen from the way of eating crayfish. People who don't eat it often have to work hard just to peel the lobster skin, and if you accidentally make a small cut on your hand, the numb and spicy juice seeps into the wound, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced. Look at the native southerners, first pull off the crayfish head, suck a mouthful of the spicy juice and lobster brain, and then remove the first shell of the crayfish, pull the shrimp meat in one hand and the shrimp tail in the other, and the whole shrimp body will come out, and you don't even need to pick the mud line, one bite at a time.

Li Chuanfeng heard Catherine talk about the beautiful New Orleans, and he really wanted to experience this kind of life now. And then Catherine is about the history of New Orleans.
