This Christmas was a bit painful for Luke. Although there was a little noise when I played girlfriends in my previous life, I really haven't seen such a girl. Seriously, in my previous life, as a Chinese (now a foreigner with a Chinese soul), although I also like to watch some anime, I really don't like tsundere women, especially like this. This made Luke, who was not a smoker, feel the urge to smoke.

But Luke held back. Smoking is not good for the body, especially for athletes (so says Pele).

It's really not a problem that Christmas is like this.

It's not a problem to stand alone on the street, so find a place to rest.

But in the minds of the average American, Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two most important holidays of the year, and nothing is more important. There will be almost no one on the streets, let alone a place to eat and rest. Basically, it's closed, including the bakery.

But suddenly it occurred to Luke that there was one place where there must be people, and that place was the famous Chinatown.

Luke stood alone on the street, overwhelmed.

Los Angeles Chinatown is connected to the old city of Los Angeles, located in the north of Yuluo Boulevard, although it is not as famous as the Chinatown of New York and San Francisco, but it is one of the oldest Chinatowns in Europe and the United States. The area of Chinatown is roughly dominated by Broadway

Axis stretches all the way to Bernard Street, where the quaint Chinatown archway is its signature, and Chinatown is as usual home to many Chinese restaurants, shops and banks.

In 1850, there were only two Chinese living here, but after more than 100 years of continuous development, it has now become one of the centers of Chinese cultural life in Los Angeles, and Chinese signs can be seen everywhere on the streets. Come to Chinatown,

In addition to experiencing the history of Chinese development in Los Angeles, shopping and food are of course the main contents. Interestingly, most Chinese now live near Chinatown, and Chinatown is mostly Vietnamese, so in addition to authentic Chinese food, Vietnamese food can also be found everywhere.

Los Angeles is one of the cities with the largest number of Chinese in the United States, and there are three Chinatowns in the greater Los Angeles area. The first is the oldest Chinatown in downtown Los Angeles, and the Chinatown of New York and San Francisco

In the same way, most of the residents here are Cantonese; The second is the largest Chinatown, spanning the three cities of Sangabriel, Monterey Park and Alhambra, Monterey Park City used to be called "Little Taipei", and people are usually used to calling this area; The third is Chinatown in the Shuanggang area, which is made up of many Hong Kong supermarkets and convenience stores on both sides of Route 60, and has a better overall feel, where most of the newcomers live.

Although the Chinese have immigrated here for several generations, the thinking of the Chinese has not changed. Although the Chinese here also have to start celebrating Christmas, the status of Christmas is still not as high as the Spring Festival in the minds of the Chinese, so there will definitely be people in Chinatown at this time.

"Welcome!".

What a familiar scene, the Chinese restaurant, the Chinese décor, the Chinese waiters, and the Chinese food, but it was all written in English.

"What are you eating?" The waitress asked in English.

"What can you do?" Luke, of course, used Chinese, and when he saw that the waitress was a little stunned, he asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No, no," the waitress quickly apologized, "I'm a little surprised, you speak Chinese so well." “

"That's the case with long-term practice." Luke said, "You haven't answered what I can offer!" ”

"Oh oh, you know, it's Christmas Eve, basically no one is coming, and the waiters have all run out to play, chef ......"

"I know your situation, I'm just asking what else I can eat?" Luke asked.

"What would you like to eat now?" The waiter asked.

"Is there any Sichuan food?" Luke asked.

"Of course there is!" The waitress introduced, "Although our chef does not specialize in Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine is also very delicious, but most people here don't like to eat it......

"Alright, alright," Luke couldn't stand the waitress's introduction, and quickly interrupted her, "Hurry up and serve the food, I'm hungry." "You haven't ordered yet!"

"It's Christmas, and I don't want to embarrass you too much, just have a few classic dishes, don't make it too complicated. Of course, remember, I want the most authentic, don't deceive me with fakes. Luke said. Okay, wait a minute. ”

The most uncomfortable thing about eating Chinese food is waiting. Especially after seeing those long-familiar names, Luke's salivary amylase has begun to secrete rapidly. But wait.

Looking at the scenery outside, Luke experienced a very enjoyable mood. In the southern part of the Celestial Empire, like Los Angeles, there is no snow, which makes Luke reluctantly begin to remember the past. "Sir, sir......" Someone interrupted Luke's recollection.

"Sir, your dish is here." The waiter said.

"Oh, oh, thank you." Luke said.

"It's okay, you're welcome." "Fetch me some more food." Luke said.

"Okay, no problem." The waiter said with a smile.

Luke couldn't wait to taste it, and only said one sentence: "The taste of home." ”

"It's too familiar, it's too familiar." This taste instantly brought Luke back to a long, long time ago, when Sichuan food was the same taste. Luke felt a sense of happiness, and before the meal could be served, most of it had been wiped out.

"Sir, your rice ......" When the waiter came with the rice, he found that there were not many dishes left.

"Excuse me, can you stir fry a few more dishes? It tastes so good. Luke said.

"That's fine......" "Let's go." "Oooooooo......oo

"Bang rice (a very old way of cooking, it's a kind of rice that you can only see in the countryside, but it's very tasty)? Be sure to eat a few more bowls! ”

I don't know how long it took, Luke finally swept away the food in front of him, settled the bill contentedly, and walked out.

"Who is this person, and why is he so familiar?" The waitress said to herself, and went to the kitchen to help without thinking too much.

Luke looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, and even if there was a lot of anger, Luke was now gone. Let's go back. Luke began to want to walk in the direction of home.
