Chapter 233: 1981 at Harvard (Part II)
Soon, Professor Yau Chengtong took Junxin to a small town outside the campus of Harvard University. Harvard University is located in the Greater Boston District, one of the famous big cities in the United States, which has always been an academic, economic and sports region in the United States, and is also one of the earliest eastern cities where overseas Chinese settled.
Where there are Chinese people, there are Chinese restaurants, and this saying is common in any era of Chinese history. In the same way, this phrase is also common in the world, and it can be said to be universal everywhere.
Harvard University is not located in a small town like Princeton and is not very economically developed, on the contrary, Massachusetts, where Harvard University is located, is one of the famous rich areas in the United States, and the economic conditions can be described as one of the top places in the United States. Therefore, there are many Chinese people panning for gold here, and naturally you can see Chinese restaurants with Chinese character labels that Junxin is familiar with everywhere.
Obviously, Professor Yau Chengtong is already very familiar with this place, and he didn't stop at all along the way. Only people who are very familiar with the place can do this.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Junxin followed Professor Yau Chengtong to a building decorated with an ancient and peculiar oriental charm, and the smell of vegetables came from inside, and Junxin knew that this was the place where he was going to solve the "lunch" today.
"Professor Qiu is here, come in, the old place, you can go up by yourself!" The boss sitting in front of the counter had sharp eyes, and immediately recognized Professor Yau Chengtong, and quickly stood up and said to him.
"Boss Xu is polite, I'll go up by myself, don't forget that there are five tables in total, and we have more than 60 people!"
"Aren't you worried about my errand? Go up by yourselves and make sure you eat well. Boss Xu said with a smile.
After a few more polite words with the boss, Professor Qiu took Junxin directly to the second floor. While explaining to Junxin next to him: "Boss Xu's ancestor came to the United States at the end of the last century, and now it has been passed down to the fifth generation. Their family is a famous Hunan cuisine master, and it is said that the ancestors also once had a palace kitchen, and their skills are very exquisite. So if we have any events to celebrate, we usually choose to be here. ”
Speaking of this, Professor Yau Chengtong said with a sigh: "What is rare is that although Lao Xu is passed down from generation to five generations, Lao Xu's family has never joined the American nationality and is a great family. At this point, there is absolutely no way for us to compare with him. ”
Jun Xin didn't say anything about what Professor Yau said, he didn't know how to say it. Fortunately, Junxin didn't need to talk about it at this time, because they had already arrived in the box.
This is obviously a large box, and more than 50 people gather in the box, and a total of five tables are prepared according to Chinese banquet customs. At this time, the table was almost full, chatting with the right people. Seeing that the door was opened, Professor Yau Chengtong and Jun Xin walked in, everyone stopped talking and looked at the door.
"Hello everyone, I have brought the person to whom I have dinner today. This is Junxin from Mizuki University, currently an exchange student at Princeton University, a sophomore. Would you like to ask him to say a few words? ”
"Yes!"
"Alright, Jun, it's your stage again!" As soon as Professor Yau's words fell, a huge round of applause broke out in the private room.
"Thank you!" Waiting for the applause to stop, Junxin stood at the front and thanked, "Since ancient times, there have been four happy events in my country that are the biggest in life. It is so exciting to be able to meet all of you seniors and senior brothers and sisters on the other side of the world, in a foreign land thousands of miles away from the motherland. I think that when the older generation of scientists Qian Lao, Hua Lao, Professor Yang Zhenning and others met in the United States, it was probably this idea! ”
"As for me, I was chased by Professor Qiu to put ducks on the shelves, and there was nothing to say, but I met everyone with one word, happy. It's a pleasure to meet you all here. In the morning, when three of Professor Yau's disciples came to pick me up and tell me the news, I was really happy. There's nothing to say, everyone eats first, and then we'll talk about what we've eaten! ”
After a burst of laughter, Professor Yau Chengtong, as the host, also announced the beginning of the banquet. Then he took Junxin to the middle table and said, "Xiaojun, all the people sitting at this table are your brothers and sisters at Mizuki University, I won't bother you, you guys have a good chat here." ”
"Thank you, Professor Qiu!" Junxin smiled and nodded, this is exactly what Junxin wants.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you may have already gone to the United States to study when I first enrolled at Mizuki University. Don't say that I don't know you guys, it's called lonely and unheard, it's been closed for too long, and I really can't name a few people, I'm really ashamed! ”
As soon as Junxin's words fell, a tall and thin man with glasses took Junxin's words and said, "Sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, junior brother. I am from the physics department of the former Mizuki University, and my name is Zhou Tianyu. ”
"My name is Wang Lijun, and I am the former Department of Chemistry of Mizuki University." A boy next to Zhou Tianyu continued with a smile.
"My name is Wu Zhenjiang, I was formerly in the Department of Chemistry of Mizuki University, and now I am a graduate student at the Harvard School of Biology, focusing on stem cell research." A tall boy introduced himself, and his experience made Junxin's eyes light up.
In the 21st century, people have officially entered the era of biological research. The successful completion of the Human Genome Project has led to an explosion of research in biological sciences. The results of various experiments almost occupy the CNS. You know, among the three top journals, "Cell" is dedicated to biology.
If Junxin hadn't received a public course at Princeton and needed to be exposed to all mathematics-related subjects, he might never have touched biology, a subject that can produce grades and deceive people, in his life. Naturally, there is no such feat as to read all the CNS articles for decades.
If you want to say which place in Junxin's stomach has the most goods, there is no doubt that it is about biology that has the most goods.
However, Junxin is not a professional biology scientist after all, and his understanding of biology is only to complete his own courses and research ideas in biology, so he has never planned to develop in this direction. Now after listening to the words of this person named Wu Zhenjiang, a place in my heart was suddenly touched, and an idea was born in an instant.
