Chapter 227

Zheng Jianguo wanted to say that the little devil was not right at this time. However, considering that the Xinjing family was also a member of this Sao Paulo community, and that it was not good for him to discuss others when he was new here, he said these with a smile and said goodbye: "Mr. Hardison, Mrs. Hardison, I still have some work to finish, so I won't talk with you. Bye."

"Sorry, we disturbed you. Go and be busy. We're going back."

Mary said with an apologetic look on her face that Zheng Jianguo smiled at the disapproving hadison and turned back to the house. The deputy curator of the Boston University Library failed to hang up the professor, which is rare in all universities. In addition, Boston University is located near the Charles River bank, and the straight-line distance is no more than one kilometer, Well, it seems that there are some stories about this one: "it's Mrs. Hardison who didn't expect to be an honorary member of the Rotary Club -"

Rotary club was founded in 1905. As far as Zheng Jianguo knows, the main purpose is charity. This is the impression of ordinary people on this social group, but most ordinary people do not know that this is a highly closed small circle.

Members must be representatives in the field of the region, and have other people's blameless moral standards. Only when their profession and conduct are good can they have the qualification to join the club.

If you want to join, you need to see the number of people in this field. Unfortunately, if there are two or three people in this field, you can only join when one of these two or three people dies or quits.

In terms of the founding purpose of the rotary club, the basic requirement is that there can only be one club in each city, which is approved and confirmed by the Rotary International Club, but it does not have any management authority. In short, several people can apply according to the standards. Of course, this is not the case in the region.

With the development of the times, the emergence of mega cities and capital circle has directly changed the requirements of Rotary clubs. Therefore, the establishment requirements of district clubs are quantified as population conditions. Cities and districts with more than one million people can have two rotary clubs coexist - which gives more elites the opportunity to recognize themselves.

Zheng Jianguo was impressed by Mary because the Rotary Club banned female members before 1980, and most women became members of the inner rotary club as spouses.

However, this situation has changed significantly in the past two years. A rotary club in Los Angeles was disqualified by the general club for recruiting female members. The former then sued the California Court and obtained support.

The latest news is that the RI club has appealed to the Supreme Court, while Massachusetts is calm. Just look at the expression between the words, you can know that Mary should not have joined recently.

"When the conditions are good, they want more. The status of slaves is gone, and the right to vote is also in hand. Now they are tossing about equal rights -"

There were many thoughts in his mind. Zheng Jianguo also knew that what he said was not nonsense. Of course, he also knew that the well-known sentence of contentment and happiness in traditional culture deceived people. For example, it was a living example on himself. At the beginning of 1977, he shrank in a warm quilt and just wanted to go to college. Now?

"The phone didn't come with me???"

After wandering around the paved living room, Zheng Jianguo wanted to update the embassy and his family about the move. Unexpectedly, he only found a telephone line interface, but there was no shadow of the telephone. So he looked at the time of the electronic watch on his wrist and remembered that there were still few clocks and many paintings at home: "there are clocks in the telephone supermarket, which is more troublesome --"

The design of Zheng Jianguo's house is modern. This is not the modernization in 1980, but the concise style in his memory after 40 years. A large amount of spare space is left on the wall at home, which needs to be added with various hanging paintings. Of course, these paintings and furniture have to wait until Yang Na comes to buy. Now his task is still the telephone and the clock.

"And the plug-in board -"

After turning his eyes a little, Zheng Jianguo found another thing to buy, so he took out his small book and began to think about what he used in the dormitory to write and draw. When he made a list of things he was eager to buy, he found that there were many, so he locked the door, drove out of the garage and went straight to the good brother supermarket not far away, After buying most of the small items on the list, it was six o'clock in the evening.

"It's just time to go out for dinner. By the way, go to Chinatown and have a look -"

As the early foothold of Chinese immigrants, the Chinatown in Boston has become the center of the city center in more than 110 years of development, that is, the Republic city a few blocks from Boston square.

Standing under the archway where the world is public, Zheng Jianguo stepped into the third-largest Chinatown in the United States under the brightly lit lights. If most of the people in this street did not speak English, he would think that he had arrived in the deep city of the 1990s, and the streets were full of hot stalls——

"Fried chicken shop?"

After a few steps, Zheng Jianguo was surprised by what he saw. Three italics were across the door less than two meters wide, and under these three words was written in English, Chinese restaurant. He immediately looked around with curiosity, stepped to the door, and stepped into the store with the bell when he pushed the door.

The vertical 30-40 square store was slightly dark. When Zheng Jianguo looked at the bar at the entrance and there were no people, he saw a figure at the end of the seven or eight tables placed against the wall. He put dishes in his hands in front of the guests at the middle table and nodded and said something. Then he trotted to him with a clear voice: "welcome, what would you like to eat?"

"Is your fried chicken fried with green pepper?"

As Zheng Jianguo spoke, he raised his head from the girl's dark face. A menu was pasted on the wall behind the bar, but he didn't find what he was looking for, so he took care of himself and said, "Sichuan cuisine or Shandong cuisine?"

"Xiao Chu, this is a distinguished guest. Take good care of him ~"

Zheng Jianguo's voice didn't fall. An old voice came from the table where the girl put down the dishes. The latter couldn't help looking back. He turned his head suspiciously and said, "wait a minute, I'll ask --"

"Old man Liu's family is from Qi Province, so of course this restaurant is all Shandong cuisine, but young man, if you want to taste the spicy chicken in your hometown, forget it. The chicken here can't eat chili, and it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice -"

The Mandarin spoken in the old voice was a little stiff, but Zheng Jianguo and the girl named Xiao Chu in front of him recognized him: "well, if you say so, I'd like to taste the flavor of Shandong cuisine."

"If you don't see Dr. Zheng, we have a chance today. How about sharing a table?"

With a few words of conversation, the two old men sitting at the end of the table stood up with a smile. Zheng Jianguo saw one wearing a robe and a suit. The one wearing a suit was meticulous in his comb, but the one wearing a robe directly tied a horsetail with a rope behind his head.

At this moment, Zheng Jianguo's eyes were opposite. Zheng Jianguo found that in addition to their different clothes, their faces belonged to the standard national character face, that is, the old man in a suit had more image damaging moles on his eyebrows. The old man in a robe had half open single eyelids, and the same one who spoke to him: "you two are also polite. Let's do as the Romans do, AA system?"

"Well, do as the Romans do, Xiao Chu. Let your uncle fry a chicken with green pepper. Dr. Zheng, come and sit ~"

The old man in the robe said in a loud voice that Zheng Jianguo didn't know how to recognize himself. He just remembered how many times he had appeared on TV alone. As for the countless in the newspaper, he didn't study deeply. Instead, he sat in the inner position with a smile: "Sir, you recognize me, but I don't know your name?"

"I can't hold it. If you want to say a high name, you have to find this Lang Zaihua -"

As Zheng Jianguo sat down, the old man in robes sat down side by side with him and said. Lang Zaihua, on the other side, stared at him with a slightly changed face, and his voice was slightly low and said, "you can, second Yang. When is it time to talk about what you have? Dr. Zheng, I'm Lang Zaihua. If you look up to me, call me Lao lang. if you look down on me, call me -- "

"You old bastard, it's not easy for me to pass you the shelf. Don't pay attention to Dr. Zheng. He still can't get through the barrier in his heart. Call him Lao lang. my name is Yang Zhen. You just call me Lao Yang."

Yang Zhen, who was wearing a robe, said one by one to the two. At this time, the girl who had run to the back kitchen came out with an old man in an apron and a cook's hat. When the three looked at it together, they saw Lang raise his hand in China and said, "Lao Liu, come and see half of your fellow villagers. You can't say you'll see it."

"Welcome, welcome, Dr. Zheng, you're welcome -"

Liu kaicai, with a reddish complexion, leaned out his hands and held Zheng Jianguo together. The latter couldn't help feeling embarrassed by the old man's enthusiasm: "boss Liu, it's very polite of you to say so --"

"You're welcome. You don't know how excited we were when we saw your report. People who came to dinner said you were really good. Sit down, sit down and say, Chu Qin, the chicken in the back should be fried. Go and bring it -"

When Liu kaicai sent Chu Qin out to the back kitchen, Lang Zaihua had stood up and turned to Yang Zhen opposite. The latter raised his ass and sat in his position. At the moment, he was saying, "you're welcome, let's sit down and talk. You can eat while you're not busy now. It's just that we're also in the light of Dr. Zheng -"

"You old bastard, you always get the light of others, but I'm happy today, Dr. Zheng, you -"

Liu kaicai half pushed and half sat next to Zheng Jianguo and said that the latter was rushed by the three old people one by one, so he hurriedly said, "boss Liu, you'd better call me Jianguo, doctor Zheng. Your hometown is Qi Province -"

"Well, since Jianguo has spoken, we can't help but give him face. Let's call you Xiao Zheng, and you can call us Lao Lang, Lao Yang and Lao Liu -"

Lang waved in China and stopped what Zheng Jianguo wanted to say. Liu kaicai and Yang Zhen nodded together and said, "good, good --"

"My family is also from Shanxian County, Yuquan District. You should have heard of the Liu family mansion, but I was young when I came out. Now I have no impression of my family -"

Liu kaicai said more casually, but when he fell in Zheng Jianguo's ear, he was so incredible that he couldn't believe it: "is Liu's courtyard your ancestral property?"

"Yes, so that's why I'm so excited after I know about you. Shanxian County is still a place where people are outstanding. It just depends on when it comes to being smart. Smart people don't come to any good end in those years of chaos -"

Liu kaicai's voice didn't fall. Chu Qin appeared next to him. After putting a basin of spicy chicken on the table, the former stopped his words and said, "fortunately, the world has changed. Come on, Zheng, Xiao Zheng, eat quickly and taste the difference between my craft and that at home?"

"Yang -- Lao Yang just said that the fried chicken is different with different materials -"

Seeing the three old people trying to get close to themselves, Zheng Jianguo didn't put on airs and rely on his youth to refuse. On the contrary, because his psychological age was similar to those three, he wanted to make friends with them: "of course, for reasons of conditions, eating fried chicken with green pepper at home was similar to that here. It would cost a lot of money -"

Zheng Jianguo read the menu when he entered the door. A fried chicken with chili costs $5, which is comparable to the $4.99 set meal in Kaifeng cuisine and Burger King. Of course, Rice doesn't charge. When he saw the menu, he understood what the routine is. Americans don't have the main food and non-staple food, and don't like rice.

As for China, privately, the chicken butt market sells for seventy-eight cents a kilogram. If the price indexes of the two countries are concerned, there is no difference between this spicy chicken alone.

"This dish - pot chicken is different from theirs. Spicy chicken, spicy chicken, can you call spicy chicken if it's not spicy? Just to make them eat less white rice, I fried them with green peppers that are not spicy. "

Seeing that he talked about his professional field, Liu kaicai directly lowered his voice and said, "Zheng Jianguo picked up his chopsticks and glanced at the wine cup in front of Lang Zaihua and Yang Zhen. After blinking, they looked straight at the two people and said," Xiao Zheng is still at school, so don't let him drink. "

"Well, Lao Liu, I've graduated now, but I'm still training in the hospital. I won't drink this wine."

Seeing several people hesitate to let themselves drink, Zheng Jianguo thought about it and didn't cover up his refusal by driving. Instead, he told them bluntly: "plus I drove here, we have plenty of opportunities to eat in the future - well, this chicken is good."
