Chapter 588: Time Difference

"Do you think I'm going to be a Chinese?" Hong Tao took a small bite of the Bagle in his hand and thought it tasted good, it was very similar to a doughnut, except that it was crispy, with a few leaves and grilled salmon in the middle, and a little sauce, at least better than a McDonald's burger.

"Chinese? Yes...... I know, you are Chinese, only Chinese speak English without an accent, it is your clothes that deceive me! When the old man heard Hong Tao's prompt, he slapped his forehead with his hand very exaggeratedly, as if he didn't recognize Hong Tao as a person there, which was a very undesirable thing.

"Hey, hey, hey...... You're a good Bagle, bring me two more, add more sauce, and even count this, how much is it? Hong Tao didn't want to take advantage of this old man, so he even counted the one he tasted.

"There are only two, and the one is for you, a total of 2 pieces of 4." The old man was quite tough and demanding, and he resolutely did not charge the first one, and finally charged according to two.

Hong Tao held a disposable small plate, while eating while dragging the suitcase to stroll forward, this street is surrounded by high-rise buildings on both sides, just like walking in a line of sky, but Lao Mei also loves green, as long as there is a vacant land, must be planted with a lawn, and a few trees to decorate, the place can be a little bigger, just make a small park without fences, green grass, groves and benches.

Manhattan should be regarded as a prime location in New York, but Hong Tao walked less than 200 meters here, and saw 2 small street parks, and I don't know how the government in New York is willing to waste this kind of prime location, which is GDP!

In addition to the park, there are many snack trucks on the street here, almost every street corner or a more spacious place can see their figures, Hong Tao walked this way to see no less than 4 or 5, there are roast beef, chicken skewers, and freshly squeezed juice, the most gratifying thing for Hong Tao is that he actually saw that there are pancakes and sugar gourds. At that time, when he saw these two stalls, he deliberately turned his head to look at the surrounding buildings and confirmed that he was not visiting Wangfujing.

The pancakes here are basically the same as the pancakes in China, and the pancakes are spread out on an iron disc, and the batter is sprinkled on it, and a small wooden tool is turned in this way, and a pancake is made. However, the slight difference from domestic pancakes is that instead of a thin crisp or fritters, a large pile of chopped fruit is poured over chocolate sauce. Roll it up again.

Hong Tao smacked his mouth for a long time, and finally tried the taste of this American pancake, he was afraid that his taste would be crooked, and he would not be able to eat domestic pancakes when he returned to Beijing in the future.

Another sugar gourd that Hong Tao is more familiar with also opened Hong Tao's eyes, in addition to the small skewers such as hawthorn and oranges that are common in China, the most popular ones sold are apples. That's right, it's the apple we eat a lot. And the American apples are bigger. The stall owner has cored a whole apple, coated it in a layer of syrup, sprinkled it with chocolate chips, and thrust it with a small wooden stick. Just put it there and wait for someone to buy it, this thing shouldn't be called a sugar gourd, it should be called a sweet apple, Hong Tao also spent $2 to buy one. Holding it in his hand is like holding a drum urn and a golden hammer, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't find a place to put his mouth down. Apples are too big!

After eating and watching, Hong Tao dragged his suitcase, held an apple hammer in his hand, and chewed the last bite of Bagle in his mouth, and finally entered the Condell Building. In the middle of the first floor of the building is a circular front desk, behind which sit two police officers...... Or the security guard, Hong Tao can't tell the difference between the New York police and the security guard, the clothes are almost the same, they are also fully armed, in addition to the baton and pepper spray on the waist, there is also a pistol, but the armband is a little different.

"Sir, please put your belongings here and walk through this door!" The last time Hong Tao came with Erin, he saw this kind of security guard, and they didn't stop him. But this time it was different, as soon as Hong Tao entered the hall of the building, the two security guards stood up and walked over here, one hand naturally resting on the holster on his waist.

"Dogs look down on people!" Hong Tao understood that the clothes he was wearing were too colorful, and he didn't look like he was here to work at all, and he was dragging a box behind him, holding an apple hammer in his hand, if he was a security guard, he would have to ask.

The security check was not a problem, and the box was also opened, in addition to a change of clothes and a camera, it was the set of jeans and shoes that I bought for Irene, but the two security guards were not at ease, and they swept Hong Tao's body with a handheld instrument, and finally confirmed that there were no dangerous goods, and then they left the snatch.

"I'm sorry, it's routine, you're going to that company? Who to look for? Please register here. A security guard was still not very relieved of Hong Tao, and took out a notebook for Hong Tao to register.

Hong Tao didn't talk much nonsense, people were under the eaves, they had to bow their heads, register and register. After tossing this set of procedures, Hong Tao inadvertently looked up at the watch hanging in the lobby.

"Is this accurate?" After reading the watch, Hong Tao stopped, pushed back to the service desk, and asked the two security guards.

"Very accurate...... The two security guards had been staring at Hong Tao's back, and now he walked back and asked a very boring question, and the security guard's hand couldn't help but reach his waist again.

"Oh, don't be nervous, I just came from Argentina and I watched it once in Atlanta, and who knows how slow it was another 2 hours...... This damn jet lag! Hong Tao showed his watch for the two security guards to see.

Due to the large land area of the United States, especially the wide east and west, it implements a zoning system, from the west coast of the United States to the east coast, divided into the Pacific time zone (PT), the mountain time zone (MT), the central time zone (CT), and the eastern time zone (ET). Counting from west to east, every time you cross a time zone, you have to set the time forward by one hour, Hong Tao had already adjusted his watch when he was in Atlanta, but he didn't expect to arrive in New York, and it was an hour slower.

What's even more hateful is that in order to save some electricity, Lao Mei actually implements daylight saving time, from the first week of April to the last week of October every year, the time has to be moved forward by one hour. The most hateful thing is that the daylight saving time system is not unified in every state and every city, like Atlanta, there is no daylight saving time, this Nima is not a pit person! The time on Hong Tao's watch was two hours later than New York time, and he had calculated that he would go to lunch with him after finding Erin, but now it's almost half past twelve, and Erin must have gone to lunch, and he didn't contact her in advance, and he wanted to surprise her.

"Poor fellow, you can't find anyone when you go up now, everyone has gone to lunch, you can stay here for a while, they will be back at about half past one." The two security guards figured out at this time, why this Asian young man wearing a fancy denim leather jacket would go upstairs to find someone in the law firm at lunchtime, it turned out that he was not ill-intentioned, nor did he have any other intentions, but was confused by the time difference of the United States, so the two security guards were quite guilty of Hong Tao's behavior just now, invited him to sit on the sofa behind the service desk, and handed him a pictorial.

"Do you have knives?" After Hong Tao sat down, he saw two fast food boxes in the service desk, and it was estimated that the two security guards had just finished lunch, so they remembered the apple hammer in their hands.

"Knives?" The security guard looked at Hong Tao suspiciously.

"The knife that cuts the apple, this apple is too big for me to eat!" Hong Tao pointed to the apple hammer in his hand.

"I have it here, didn't they cut it for you when you bought it?" The short security guard pulled out a folding knife from his trouser pocket and took out a wet tissue from the drawer to wipe the blade.

"Come on, let's eat together, I can't eat so much by myself." Hong Tao cushioned the pictorial, cut the apple into slices, and served it to the two security guards.

The security guards were very generous, each of them pinched two slices, chewed them with a click, and took out a beer from the drawer and handed it to Hong Tao.

"I don't drink at noon, thank you." Hong Tao didn't want to go to Erin's company to find someone with a mouthful of alcohol, which would have a bad impact on Erin.

"It's a non-alcoholic drink, and we can't drink alcohol when we're on duty." The two security guards laughed again, stuffed the drink to Hong Tao, and then chewed the apple to read their newspaper.

Just after 1 o'clock, Hong Tao, who was discussing with two security guards that the girl in the pictorial was more angry, finally heard Erin's voice, and he didn't have to look back to know that it must be Erin who spoke, she is now a bit of a chicken and a dog and a dog, not only is her life habits slowly moving closer to Hong Tao, but even the emphasis on speaking has begun to become more and more Chinese.

"Shhhh Hong Tao stopped the security guard's attempt to call Erin, then picked up the adult pictorial to cover his face, dragged his suitcase and chased him to the elevator.

Erin was wearing a light blue suit skirt, gray thin stockings and a pair of stiletto heels of the same color, and her small buttocks were wrapped in the skirt, which was very warped and round. Hong Tao stood behind her, secretly looked at his daughter-in-law's figure from the gap in the pictorial, and secretly praised himself for being very discerning. Compared with the other ladies standing around her, she could immediately tell the difference.

Those women either have too big buttocks, or too many muscles in their legs, one of the young girls' shoulders is actually wider than Hong Tao, from behind, if she is not wearing a skirt but changing into a suit, this is the standard tiger's back and bear waist, more man than a man, a real man!
