Chapter 43: Gangsters in Chinatown
Chen Hao and his family came to Chinatown in Manhattan, New York, which is located in the lower city at the southern end of Manhattan, New York, and is the largest Chinese community in the United States.
Manhattan's Chinatown was founded in the mid-19th century by residents of China's coastal areas of Guangdong, Fujian, and Hong Kong to engage in commercial activities, restaurants, shops, and gift shops.
Chen Hao and his entourage looked at everything here curiously, most of them had never been to the United States.
Most of the people on the street are Chinese, and they are busy with their own business.
"It's a great place." Liu Qiqi sighed.
Zhentian closed his mouth in surprise: "This place is actually the same as Chinatown in the real world." ”
"You've been to the U.S. before?" Chen Hao asked about Zhentian.
"My dad has a branch in the United States, and I spent some time with him in the United States."
Shi Lei walked to Zhentian's side and asked, "Then have you been to many other countries?" ”
"Well, I want to think about it...... United Kingdom, France, Russia, Japan, South Korea...... Anyway, I've been to most of the countries you mentioned. Zhentian said truthfully.
"It's good to be rich."
Tang Kexin also joined in the conversation, and she asked Zhentian a lot of foreign things, such as local food, tourist attractions or some local customs.
Shocking told her everything he knew, and the conversation was quite pleasant.
But Chen Hao felt awkward, when he was next to Tang Kexin now, he didn't know how to face her.
Luckily, they were at the door of the hotel.
Fang Ming sat next to the stone lion at the door, and after seeing Chen Hao and them, he walked over.
"I've booked a seat." Fang Ming still said in that tone that was neither salty nor light.
"Good work." Han Feng began to beckon everyone into the store.
The area of this store is not small, and it is divided into two floors.
There are some private rooms above, while some loose seats are below.
Each private room is surrounded by walls on three sides, and one side is glass, so the advantage of this design is that you can see the scattered seats on the first floor from the private room.
The waitresses in the store are all wearing cheongsams from the Republic of China period and light makeup, and they feel very temperamental just by looking at them.
Shi Lei was a little fascinated by it, and Du Yushi patted him on the head in the back.
"Converge when you look at it, don't be so obvious."
Shi Lei didn't say anything, and touched his head in embarrassment.
A waiter saw that a customer was coming, so he walked over elegantly.
"Hello! How many are there? ”
"Twelve." Han Feng replied.
"Please come with me to the private room upstairs." The waiter smiled politely.
"Lead the way."
Soon, the waiter led them to a private room on the second floor.
As soon as you enter the house, the noise outside is completely isolated.
Chen Hao nodded, he was very satisfied with the bad environment here.
"The menu is here, how many of you order first?" The waitress asked.
"Okay." Han Feng took the menu and said, "Take a few more, they want to see it too." ”
"Okay, please wait."
The waitress walked out after saying that.
Han Feng looked at Liu Qiqi's pitiful appearance, handed her the menu, and said helplessly: "Okay, you can read it first." ”
"Thank you!" Liu Qiqi stuck out her tongue, and then looked at the menu intently.
Zhentian snapped his fingers at Chen Hao and Han Feng and asked, "Shall we have a drink?" ”
Han Feng thought about it and felt that it would be okay to drink some wine.
The only chance for the Class of 1664 had been ruined by them, and this exam was an advantage, and drinking was considered to be a celebration in advance.
"Yes."
"I don't care." Chen Hao said.
Shi Lei said confidently: "I'm quite good at drinking in our sports school, let's have a good drink today!" ”
"Hahaha, come on, come on, have a good drink." Shocking laughed.
At this time, the waitress walked in and took three more menus.
"Thank you." Han Feng said politely.
The waitress smiled in response and said, "Do you want to order now?" ”
"Let's take a look first, you can go down and greet the other guests first."
"Okay, call me if you need to."
Han Feng kept a menu for himself and gave the remaining two to Du Yushi and Chen Hao.
Tang Kexin was not happy, she angrily asked at Han Feng, "Why don't you give it to me?" ”
Han Feng was stunned, he didn't understand why Tang Kexin was angry at himself.
Isn't it just a menu? Who is different?
Chen Hao closed the menu, handed it to Tang Kexin, and said, "You can use mine." ”
"What's the matter with you? I'm talking to Han Feng. Tang Kexin glared at him and didn't take the menu.
Only then did Han Feng understand that Tang Kexin was not angry at himself.
Chen Hao said to Liu Qiqi beside him: "Let's change seats." ”
"Hmm." Liu Qiqi didn't raise her head, so she changed with Chen Hao.
Chen Hao sat next to Tang Kexin at this time, and he whispered: "Can you stop doing this, let's go back to the university if there is anything." ”
Tang Kexin clasped his hands to his chest and didn't intend to pay attention to Chen Hao.
Hey, this eldest lady is really difficult to serve, let's explain it to her when I go back.
While thinking so in his heart, Chen Hao glanced downstairs.
"Huh?" Chen Hao frowned, he noticed something strange downstairs.
A man in a suit was smiling all over his face, saying something to a group of people, looking like an apology.
And that group of people are a bunch of gangsters with tattoos on their bodies, and they wear very unusual clothes.
Shi Lei also saw the situation downstairs, and he guessed: "These people are here to collect protection money, right?" ”
Han Feng said: "It's nothing to do with us, don't worry about it." ”
As soon as Han Feng's voice fell, the waitress from before walked in anxiously and said, "A few people, can you give the menu to the guests downstairs first?" ”
"Won't we give it to them when we're done ordering first?" Zhentian said with a ruffian face.
"Ah......" said the waitress, "but if I don't take it down, the people downstairs will ......."
"The menu is here, let them come up and get it, just say I said it." When Han Feng spoke, his eyes never took off the menu.
"This ......" the waitress stood in place, bewildered.
"It's okay, go ahead and talk about it." Han Feng waved his hand.
"That'...... All right. ”
……
After a while, a group of people came up noisily, and the other people in the private room wanted to come out to see what was going on, but they were all scolded back.
Boom!
Chen Hao: The door of their private room was kicked open.
A strong man asked in non-standard Mandarin, "Which muddy boy let us come up?" ”
"Me." Han Feng closed the menu unhurriedly.
The strong man in front of him had an obvious scar on his face, and he had all kinds of tattoos on his body, and he looked like a ruthless man.
On the other hand, Han Feng, although he does not have such a scary appearance, his every move is very imposing.
The strong man noticed this and frowned slightly.
"Where are you guys?"
"Just passing by for a meal." Chen Hao looked directly at the strong man and said.
"Are you impatient? Talking like that to our boss? One of them walked towards Chen Hao from the crowd.
Chen Hao jumped on the table, grabbed the person, and threw it at the glass.
Syllable!
The glass shattered, and the man fell straight out of the second floor.
"Brothers, come on!"
"Cut them down!"
"I'll see who's going to come over today!" Shaking stood up.
The muscles on his body and the momentum he displayed made the group in front of him hesitate.
They swallowed and foamed at the mouth in unison.
Damn, is this still human? This momentum is too terrifying, isn't it?
The strong man in the lead felt that he had encountered a hard stubble today, and he made a stop gesture to the younger brothers behind him.
"It was our fault just now, and I apologize to you. I don't know where the little brothers are mixed up? ”
The strong man weighed his combat strength and chose to admit it.
These people are like monsters, and they have nothing to fight.
The person who is stronger than himself will not talk about it, just standing up, his little brothers will not dare to go up.
The kid who threw people out was also a freak, where did he get so much energy?
And the person who has always been calm is definitely not an ordinary person, can he still speak so calmly when he sees this situation? Ordinary people are scared to pee for a long time, right?
"Where are we messing around, I don't want to tell you for the time being, but you brought someone up directly today, it's not in accordance with the rules, right?" Han Feng smiled slightly.
The strong man in the lead broke out in a cold sweat, he was sure that the person in front of him had already killed him.
If his answer is not satisfactory to him, then he will probably die here today......
"The money you paid for eating here today is on my head, do you think you are satisfied with this solution?"
Han Feng said lightly: "Well, it's decided, let's go, remember to settle the bill for us in a while." ”
"Okay, well, then we won't disturb your meal."
"Hmm."
When the strong man heard this, he took his little brother and left Chen Hao's private room as if fleeing for his life.
After a while, the man in the suit who had been downstairs walked up, and he said embarrassedly, "Sorry for the trouble." ”
"You're the boss here?" Chen Hao asked.
"Yes."
"What were these guys doing just now?"
"They're gangsters in Manhattan's Chinatown, and sometimes they come and collect our protection money." The boss replied truthfully.
"Oh, that's ......"
Liu Qiqi saw that Chen Hao was going to talk to the boss, and couldn't help complaining: "Chen Hao, when do you order, I'm almost starving." ”
"Okay, I won't ask, Han Feng, Zhentian, you two order."
Zhentian said directly to the boss: "Take away the menu, serve all your specialties, take more good wine, and the gang downstairs will settle the bill for us in a while." ”
"Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll urge the back kitchen."
