Chapter 65: Revisiting Queens
"It seems that it is really difficult to win people's trust by ordering highly poisonous animals by phone without going to the pet store in person. Zhang Lisheng sighed and muttered.
As he spoke, he was about to open the window to breathe, but he accidentally saw that outside the window, George was happily walking towards the car with two short, flat girls with bright braces in their mouths.
After a while, George opened the car door, got into the back seat with the two girls, and introduced with a smile on his face: "Li Sheng, this is Lina and Hena, our eighth grade students.
Lina and Hena are Li Sheng, my best friends. β
"The car is good, but the person is a little thinner, hello senior, I'm Linna. "Lina was wearing a red plush jacket with short hair and looked energetic, somewhat boy-like.
"Hello senior, I'm Hena, it's a pleasure to meet you. "Hena was wearing a white down jacket, long hair and a shawl, and her facial features were slightly pressed together, but she was not ugly, and certainly not beautiful.
"You're a good schoolgirl. Zhang Lisheng smiled politely and replied.
"OK, we'll find a place to have lunch after we get to know each other.
How about the 'Corbett Chunky Pizza' near the school, where there are secluded seats by the window where we can eat and chat..."
"It's pizza again, Senior George, how can you be as naΓ―ve as those eighth-grade boys, it's not just pizza in this world.
Let's go to Queens for some exotic food, like Turkestan kebab patties, Postero's potato stew, and I just recently found out in online travel guides that there are so many interesting things in Queens, New York.
People from all over the world go there for sightseeing, but I, as a native of New York, have never been there. β
Hearing Lina suddenly say that she wanted to go to Queens, George's face changed darkly, and he said embarrassedly: "There is actually nothing to go to in Queens, and the taste of Turkistan kebab is far worse than pizza..."
"Senior George, you can't be as scared of going to Queens as those little boys, right?"
"I, of course I'm not afraid, in fact that's where I grew up. β
"Really, senior, did you grow up in Queens!
Oh, and I've never met a boy from Queens, let alone dated.
In that case, wouldn't you take me to Queens to satisfy the curiosity of your New Year's ball companion?"
"So, Linna, you, you agreed to be my dance partner at the New Year's ball," George was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "OK, Li Sheng drives, we'll go to Queens now." β
Zhang Lisheng was slightly stunned, turned his head and smiled at the two girls in the car, turned around and grabbed George's collar, pulled his head to his mouth, and whispered in a low voice: "Are you crazy George, just to find a so-called 'New Year's ball girl', he is willing to go to Queens again." β
George replied in a low voice, "Calm man, last time we went to negotiate with the lions, and this time we went to see the monkey show."
There are also neighborhoods in Queens that aren't so bad, so you won't have much trouble finding a street with the most tourists and leaving before dark. β
"That's just what you think, listen, I'm not afraid of taking risks at all, the point is whether it's worth the risk. β
"If you're a boy who grew up in a criminal-ridden garbage community and whose biggest wish in life is to live a normal life, you'll know that this risk is worth taking. George said calmly in a serious tone.
Zhang Lisheng was silent for a while and said: "Okay, as a Chinese, I may never be able to understand the thoughts of the Chinese people.
But as a friend who owes you a favor, I will go to Queens with you this time and bring you back safely.
But remember George, this is the only time this happens. βγ
With that, he straightened up in the driver's seat, started the car, turned on the navigation, and drove towards Queens.
On the last day before Christmas, the traffic on New York's Borough Boulevard was extremely congested, and the driver's skills were not good, and it was a full hour and a half before Zhang Lisheng's 'Explorer' stopped in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens.
On the way to Queens, she looked up travel guides on her mobile phone with Hena for a long time, and finally set the first stop of her Queens trip in Flushing, where the Asian population gathers.
Before getting out of the car, George was still muttering in fear: "Speaking of my brother, he is really a super genius, he can calculate the Powerball number with the weight of the prize ball, the material of the lottery machine, the wind resistance in the studio, and so on."
It's a pity that he doesn't want to use this talent on the right path, to continue to guess the prize to make money, but to study what high-tech 'bookmarks', this is really alive, I mean too unwise.
Who will read books now, and no matter how advanced the 'bookmark' is, isn't it a waste?"
It's a pity that the girls didn't pay any attention to what George was saying, "Aha, look at Hena, it's really like a foreign country here, it's full of yellow-skinned Asians, and there are a lot of small vendors selling strange things, it's so funny."
Senior George, your brother's story is great, but we're getting off. β
With that, Lina opened the car door and jumped out of the car with Hena.
"Oh, what are you doing in a daze, let's get out of the car too. George paused for a moment, patted Zhang Lisheng's shoulder without being angry, and said.
Flushing's streets are not narrow and bustling with people, and it's both a neighborhood and a major business district in Queens, selling a wide variety of souvenirs that aren't too expensive.
Zhang Lisheng, who was already grumbling with hunger, bought a few authentic 'burrito chicken' from northern China on the street, and the girls began to giggle excitedly and eat burritos while shopping in good spirits.
George playfully accompanied Lina and Hena, and bargained with many vendors who didn't speak English, while Zhang Lisheng stood aside with a backpack and a flat expression.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, suddenly Linna playfully turned her head and winked at him, and said livelyly: "Senior Li Sheng, now you can't please girls by pretending to be a cold man."
We usually find humorous, sunny boys more attractive, and it's hard for you to behave like this to agree to be your New Year's ball girl. β
"Then what should I do?" Zhang Lisheng thought for a while and asked directly.
Linna stalked for a moment, and looked at Hena, whose face was red and a little embarrassed, "I don't know what to do, so let's go shopping with us first."
I heard George say that you are from China, and the Chinese language should be very good, help us...
Oh, Hena, look, how beautiful that necklace is, let's go see it..."
As she spoke, she took her companion's hand, ignored Zhang Lisheng, and rushed through the crowd into a grocery store on the opposite street with many shiny little things displayed in the window.
The difference of two years, if it is twenty-four and twenty-six, may not be a gap at all, but for some people, fourteen and sixteen may be the difference between children and teenagers.
Zhang Lisheng looked at the two girls who ran away, "George, they are still children at all." β
"Li Sheng, we are children too," George smiled innocently with his snow-white teeth bared, "Alright my 'little adult' friend, let's go over quickly." Zhang Lisheng also walked into the grocery store across the street with a sign that said 'All wishes come true'.
The dim light, the old houses, the wooden containers with mottled paint, the strange and interesting goods on sale, but when you think about it, you find that they are worthless...
Looking around at the door, Zhang Lisheng followed behind George without saying a word, and approached Linna and Hena, who had already bargained with the grocery store owner.
The grocer was a middle-aged man dressed in a half-worn white Arabic robe, with a fat head and big ears, and a beautiful mustache.
He has yellow black hair, white three-dimensional facial features, an Arab face slightly elongated and concave, a brown man's long chin upturned, and black skin, and is speaking fluent English with a similar George accent, and shouting solemnly: "Listen to the two beautiful young ladies, this is a real opal necklace."
It came from the distant Middle Eastern country of Kosovo and was excavated in the desert from the tomb of an ancient queen when I was young.
If it weren't for the fact that I fled my hometown because of the war, I had to sell my treasure to gain a foothold in the country, I would never have sold it.
Twelve meters, not a single point less, this is my bottom limit. β
Of course, no one believed such nonsense, but seeing the middle-aged man's serious granite-like face in front of him, the two young girls didn't know how to refute for a while, so they could only grab the beautiful emerald necklace together, revealing an aggrieved look.
George felt that the time had finally come for him to behave, so he hurriedly stepped forward, stood between the girl and the grocery store owner, shook his head again and again, and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, a friend from the Middle East, what do I think of your green..."
The grocery store owner frowned in annoyance when he heard the local accent of Queen George, but he followed the direction where George came and saw Zhang Lisheng standing in a pile of rags with a backpack on his back, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted happily: "Look, what did I see."
The yellow-skinned, flat-nosed backpacker I saw outside the store just now.
Pot friends Nihao, Nixi Laizi Gu Lao, Vinda's slippery pot mother?"
