The Bronx is one of the poorest districts in New York, and there are more black neighborhoods, and New Yorkers like Nancy and Bonnie don't go there easily without prevarication, and sometimes they would rather take a detour to avoid this area, and this is still during the day, if it is night, the two of them will not go to the Bronx.

This time, because he wanted to take Hong Tao to see Yankee Stadium, he gritted his teeth and entered this area. The stadium is located on the west side of the Bronx near 163rd Street, across the Harlem River from Manhattan Island. In fact, Hong Tao didn't see anything but the stadium, because after Nancy crossed the river from the dam bridge, there was the stadium, and then drove around the stadium and drove back.

However, due to Hong Tao's repeated requests, Nancy still satisfied the curious baby's curiosity, and she drove from north to south through Harlem in the northern part of Manhattan Island, which is also a black ghetto known for its poor security.

Here Hong Tao can be regarded as opening his eyes, the streets are full of blacks, and there are almost no whites, let alone Chinese. They wore noticeably cheaper, but not monotonous, and according to the boundless imagination and optimism of the Negroes, they combined very ordinary clothes into colorful suits, and no matter what others said, they were completely entertaining themselves.

Hong Tao is very curious to see so many black people, and those black people are also very curious about Hong Tao's combination of three white and one yellow, no matter where their car goes, it will attract the attention of nearby black people, but that vision is really not friendly, they are all stunned to look at you, so scared that Hong Tao hid the camera under his arm, and exposed a lens, finding the general direction of blind shooting.

But Hong Tao also found an interesting phenomenon, where these neighborhoods intersect with other neighborhoods, they almost become borders, such as Columbia University, which is just south of Harlem, which is surrounded by very quiet white housing areas. The houses of whites and blacks are across the street. On one side is a small villa with a garden, and on the other side is an old red brick building from decades ago, but no one crosses the border, no one disturbs anyone, and everyone is basically peaceful.

In addition to these superficial phenomena, Hong Tao also found some bright spots in his daily life, such as the problem of garbage. In the kitchen of Erin's apartment there is a large trash can, half a person high, with a large bag nested inside, which is very sturdy. Even if you poke it with your fingers, you can't break it, and there is a loop of rope at the mouth of the bag, which can be completely closed after being tightened.

On the morning of the third day of Hong Tao's stay, in order to show that he is a good family man, he deliberately brought the garbage bag when he went downstairs, and planned to throw it into the trash can downstairs, but was stopped by Erin, who said that she could not dump garbage in the trash can outside on weekends here, otherwise she would be fined.

The outdoor trash cans here are only cleaned once a week. Garbage trucks come every Thursday to collect all the garbage and then dump it again until Monday, and if you forget to dispose of your own garbage, you won't be able to dispose of it until after the end of the week. This is also the reason why this garbage bag is made so strong and so big, Hong Tao roughly estimated, if it weren't for cooking at home every day, Erin alone would not be able to fit this big bag like a garbage bag for a month.

In addition to these non-recyclable household wastes. There are also things like glass bottles, cans, soft drinks, etc., which are recyclable. Americans are thieves, and they add 5 cents to the price of these bottled goods. It's like taking a deposit from the consumer, and then there's a row of things like washing machines in the supermarket, and that's a machine that collects bottles, and you feed the bottles into the machine one by one, and then the machine grinds those bottles and spits out a receipt for you, and you take the receipt to the cashier to exchange it.

Hong Tao pondered for a while, if he couldn't get along in China and smuggled to the United States, he could learn from the big brother of the dumpling shop to get those free food or something, and he could also pick up some bottles and go to the supermarket to refund the money, and he had thought about the specific location, so he went to Madison Garden Plaza, where the trash cans always seemed to be full, and there must be a lot of bottles.

In addition to bottles, there are also special garbage trucks to buy waste such as cardboard boxes, waste books and newspapers, usually once a week, but Erin can't tell what day it is, she never catches up.

Finally, there is another type of garbage, which is the electrical appliances and furniture at home, which you can't throw at the garbage station, you will be punished, and you can't throw them in the corner of the front and back of the building, so the neighbors will have to call the police and sue you for littering. But don't worry, one day of the month, you'll suddenly find a lot of these items on the side of the street, so if you have one at home, move out, and the monthly garbage collector is coming.

Of course, you won't be paid for the large garbage to be hauled, and this is a welfare measure of the New York City government, so it would be nice not to charge you for transportation in order to make it easier for residents to dispose of the large garbage. But if you've just arrived and don't have any money in your pocket to buy appliances or furniture, here's your chance.

Due to the large amount of garbage, it is generally not cleaned up on the same day, and some of it takes two or three days to be pulled away. So the people who need it can drive around, and when they see the right one, they can move it into the car and pull it away, and no one will accuse you of stealing. These large garbage such as electrical appliances and furniture are said to be garbage, but in fact, most of them can continue to be used, but because the style and function are old, they are eliminated by the owner.

Speaking of which, I have to criticize these Americans, they really don't know how to live, according to Irene, every few days, you can see all kinds of items on the street, from TVs to fitness equipment, from mattresses to table tennis tables, everything, most of them are not damaged, and there is no problem in taking them back and using them for another 3 or 5 years.

Although Nancy and the others left, Hong Tao was not idle, he still had to accompany Erin to a nearby beauty salon to do beauty and hair, in order to prepare for the evening drinking party, it can also be seen that Erin still attaches great importance to this drinking party.

It wasn't until more than 6 o'clock in the evening that Erin got out of the bedroom, not to mention, Hong Tao's money was really not spent in vain, after such a beating, Erin, who was originally mediocre-looking, suddenly became bright and moving. More than $300 beautified face with strong evening makeup, not only the big eyes are more and more energetic, the lips seem to be more sexy, coupled with a good figure and the lilac dress and long skirt, the whole image of a lady in the movie, the only regret is that there is a little less jewelry on the neck, only a pearl necklace, which was bought by Erin herself in Shanghai.

Compared with Irene, Hong Tao looks a little dirty, wearing a dark suit with no characteristics, with a small floral tie with no characteristics, and with Hong Tao's face and small head with no characteristics, 80% of people will think that this is Erin traveling with her own driver or bodyguard.

At half past six, Thomas's car arrived downstairs, and Erin made sure that there was no bug on her body and face in front of the mirror, and then she took Hong Tao's arm and took a small catwalk into the black Cadillac sedan.

In fact, it is very difficult to be a woman, the evening dress skirt looks very beautiful and sexy, but after wearing it, Hong Tao found that Erin's two legs were almost tied together at the knees, like striding forward is definitely not possible, and the usual steps can not be taken, so you can only use broken steps that are slightly larger than the old lady with small feet to walk, and unlike the cat step, it has to be a cat step, because there is almost no space in the skirt for you to walk with your two legs apart, and you must stagger your knees against your knees.

"Oh God! You are so moving today, this skirt is simply tailor-made for you...... "Old Thomas was not an honest man when he was young, he praised Erin when he said a whole set of words, extremely skilled, no matter how you look at it, there is no perfunctory meaning, this does not have more than ten years of skills, and it will definitely not reach this kind of realm of telling nonsense as the truth and appearing extremely sincere.

Old Thomas was also dressed very sullenly, an old man who was dozens of years old, and he also put a small flower in his collar, and he didn't know how much hair wax was smeared on his hair, and the whole carriage was filled with a smell of men's perfume, even overshadowing the smell of Irene's body.

The venue for the reception was the Marriott Earls Hotel, which Hong Tao had seen, and it was located on Broadway, which is the center of Times Square. At this time, the lights on Times Square were already brilliant, and those huge billboards illuminated the entire block, and Hong Tao got off the car and stood at the door of the hotel for more than half a minute with Erin in his arms, fully understanding the meaning of the word drunken gold fan, and then under the leadership of Thomas, he took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.

On the top floor of the Marriott Earl Hotel is a 360-degree revolving restaurant, which is clearly covered by the organizers of the reception, and at the entrance there are waiters in tuxedos who check the invitations of the guests, and strictly follow the list, and only those who hold the invitations and have a registration on the list are allowed to enter.

In the middle of this large revolving restaurant is a large circular bar half-sunk under the floor, the top of which rises slightly above the floor by about half a meter, and has been turned into a dance floor where some people are dancing to the music. The restaurant is surrounded by a number of buffet tables full of food and drinks, and the food is simple, mostly cold dishes, snacks and sweet fruits. (To be continued......)
