Chapter 329

Gu Lu's job today is to accompany Su Xi shopping.

Since I have come to the United States from such a far distance, I naturally want to take a good look around.

While studying abroad for graduate school, Gu Lu stayed in the United States for two years.

But during those two years, Gu Lu spent most of his time in Princeton, where Princeton University is located.

As for New York...

Gu Lu only came here occasionally.

But Su Xi is different.

Su Xi has stayed in this city from birth to graduation from junior high school.

It wasn't until she started high school that Su Xi returned to China with her parents.

Su Xi is half a New York expert.

Su Xi will temporarily serve as Gu Lu's tour guide in New York today.

"The Manhattan Bridge is in front of us. Let's go to Chinatown for a walk first."

Su Xi chose Chinatown as her first stop, which was very close to the hotel where Gu Lu was staying.

Chinatowns can be found in many cities around the world.

It's just that Gu Lu has never been there in person.

New York's Chinatown is located next to Goblin Park.

As soon as you enter Chinatown, the roads are crowded with food stores, restaurants, coffee shops, Buddhist temples and small department stores.

Most of the people walking bustling on the road are Chinese with Asian faces.

The voices shouted by vendors on the roadside and in nearby shops are all in Chinese, occasionally mixed with a few local dialects.

For a moment, Gu Lu felt as if he was in a domestic trance.

The two sides of Chinatown were not the rows of tower-like buildings that Gu Lu imagined, but small buildings next to each other.

There is a shop downstairs and people live upstairs.

Perhaps because the National Day is approaching, the entire Chinatown is very lively.

Gu Lu could even see dragon and lion dances.

It gave Gu Lu a deep sense of intimacy.

"Is this place nice?" Su Xi held the steering wheel with both hands and asked with a smile.

Gu Lu looked at the familiar buildings on both sides and nodded in agreement, "For some wanderers who have been wandering away all year round and are unable to return home, this is indeed a good place to go."

Su Xi drove to a stop in front of a cold drink shop.

In front of the cold drink shop, an old man riding a three-wheeler set up a stall with keys.

The sun in New York is a bit poisonous.

Gu Lu got off the car and went to the cold drink shop to buy two sticks of ice cream, and then he and Su Xi hid under the shade of a tree and licked them in small sips.

Well, I use U.S. dollars to buy ice cream.

In fact, except for the fact that you can only use U.S. dollars to buy things here instead of RMB, which made Gu Lu feel a slight change in the painting style, the rest really gave Gu Lu the illusion of returning to China.

For example, Gu Lu overheard a conversation between a young man and a keymaker while eating ice cream.

Keymaker: "Key matching, three yuan a piece, ten yuan three, young man, do you match it?"

Young man: "I, I..."

Keymaker: "You don't deserve it?"

Young man: "I'm worthy, Master, I'm worthy!"

The keymaker's ears were not very good, "What, you match? How many keys do you match!"

Young man: "..."

Chinese culture is broad and profound.

Gu Lu shook his head and smiled unkindly, then took the remaining ice cream cone from Su Xi's hand and prepared to throw it away in the trash.

Next to the trash can, Gu Lu happened to meet a cleaning lady.

Seeing Gu Lu coming over, the cleaning lady asked Gu Lu directly, "What kind of trash are you?"

This question immediately confused Gu Lu.

True soul torture!

Gu Lu didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Hazardous garbage?" Gu Lu replied tentatively.

"Wrong! You are recyclable garbage!" The cleaning lady pulled out the ice cream cone from Gu Lu's hand and neatly threw it into the trash can marked with the word "recyclable".

"Remember it next time!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Gu Lu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly but politely.

"What happened?" Seeing Gu Lu coming back with a stern look on his face, Su Xi asked in a confused tone.

Gu Lu waved his hand, "Nothing, let's go to the American Chinese Museum you mentioned."

The Museum of Chinese American History, located in Building 70 on the corner of Bayard Street, is also known as the History Museum of Chinatown.

This historical museum records the stories of the Chinese people's difficult survival in the United States and their roots here.

According to what Su Xi said.

The Su family was one of the first several large families to migrate to the United States.

And now.

Of those original families, they are the only ones that still retain most of their Chinese ancestry.

The remaining few companies have all become out-and-out Americans in the process of continuously marrying local plutocrats in the United States.

Gu Lu was not very interested in this period of history.

But as the Chinese Museum of America is a famous attraction in Chinatown, since you are here, you must definitely go and see it.

Gu Lu took a brief walk around the museum.

There are no surprises and no disappointments.

"Let's find a place to have lunch?" Gu Lu said to Su Xi who was standing beside him.

"Want to eat Western food or Chinese food? As for Chinese food, I have a good place to recommend." Su Xi gave Gu Lu two choices.

"Chinese food." Gu Lu quickly made his choice.

Compared with the Western food that he is tired of, Gu Lu is more inclined to try Chinese food from abroad.

Su Xi drove Gu Lu to a small alley in Chinatown.

From a distance, Gu Lu saw a sign saying 'Beef Ramen' hanging at the end of the alley.

Su Xi parked the car not far away, and then came to this small restaurant with Gu Lu.

This small restaurant is really a small restaurant.

The area is not big, only about twenty square meters.

If you put it in China, it is commonly known as a fly restaurant.

There are only two employees, or rather bosses, in the store, a couple.

The man is a bit chubby, wearing a chef's hat and a mustache.

The woman has short hair and looks streamlined and capable.

"Boss, two bowls of beef ramen, please have a large portion!" Su Xi greeted the boss as soon as she came in.

"Okay, two big bowls, I'm making it, it'll be ready soon!" the landlady responded.

Since it's not a hotel yet, there aren't many people in the restaurant.

When Su Xi saw the landlady going to the kitchen to prepare ramen, Su Xi leaned towards Gu Lu and lowered her voice and said, "This is a couple from Lanzhou. They came to the United States to accompany their children to school.

The Lanzhou Beef Ramen tastes very authentic!”

Gu Lu nodded and shouted to the chef, "Boss, I don't want coriander for my portion!"

"Okay! Then I'll give you some more noodles!"

Two bowls of beef ramen arrived quickly.

Gu Lu took a bite while it was hot, put it in his mouth and chewed it fully.

“Yes, it’s really authentic!”

Gu Lu gave a thumbs up.

Most of the authentic Lanzhou beef noodles can only be eaten in Lanzhou. Gu Lu tried it once when he traveled to Lanzhou, and it tasted like this today.

Moreover, the beef ramen in this small shop not only tastes authentic, but also uses the same ingredients.

Look at this beef…

How thin and transparent!

The key is...it's the same amount as Shinsong's beef ramen.

It's the type where the cow only suffered some skin injuries after being used for a year.
