They all think that Chinese people like to live in prosperous urban areas. In fact, this is not the case. Los Angeles has a population of about 4 million, but the proportion of Chinese living in urban areas is less than 3%. Traffic, public security, crime rate, housing prices and other problems make most Chinese choose to live in small cities, such as the West District of San Gabriel Valley, the Eastern District of San Gabriel Valley, and Orange County.

Especially in the West District of San Gabriel Valley, as an old Chinese District, the proportion of Chinese living here almost exceeds 60% of the local population.

Of course, there is a gap between the cities in the West District of San Gabriel Valley. For example, San Marino has many rich people and the houses are expensive. Tianpu city has excellent education quality, which is the first choice for many parents with children to go to Los Angeles. While Monterey Park City is the place with the largest number of Chinese because of its relatively low price.

Of course, the public order here has always been criticized, but after more than a decade of governance and more and more Chinese, Monterey Park City has become a stable city after rapid growth. At 10 o'clock in the evening, people are often seen walking in the street, which is unimaginable in the south central district.

In this way, two communities separated by a street may be a paradise and a hell, not to mention different regions.

Xiao Peng and they came to the famous "dingpangzi square". This Monterey Park City was established as a business circle by the Chinese who came here. The central area is the dingpangzi square. Almost all the older immigrants knew about it.

However, with the rise of the surrounding Chinese cities, the central position and function of dingpangzi square are also weakening. However, it is still the first stop for many Chinese who have just arrived in Singapore, especially those who come to work in Los Angeles.

"The last time I came to dingpangzi square, I came to perform a mission. At that time, Monterey's tourist buses could still enter the city. At that time, hundreds of tourist buses stopped here every week around houding's Square, full of family hotels and Chinese supermarkets. At that time, it was prosperous and chaotic. Later, there were more Chinese and spread to the surrounding cities of Abrahan, rosmi, San Gabriel and aimandi. Monterey Park City also issued a ban to prohibit tourist buses from entering the city. In addition, the rapid economic development of Monterey Park City has made the safety of Monterey Park City much better. However, in the cities I mentioned just now, public security in cities tends to decline, and the crime rate begins to increase. "

"Why is this?" Xiao Peng asked

Joseph said, "it's all due to the Chinese. You Chinese have money. You can make money and save money. This is a fact that everyone knows. "

"And then?" Xiao Peng asked.

Joseph said, "criminals follow the rich. It turns out that Monterey Park has no money, but let you Chinese develop here. With the economy getting better and better, the government will naturally have the money to take out to strengthen public security. But where you Chinese go, the house prices will increase. Later Chinese can't afford the house prices, and they will go to the surrounding cities. When the public security in Monterey Park is good, criminals will follow them to those surrounding cities. It's like a fly will always follow the stool. "

"Well, you're driving, or I'm going to have a fight with you. Do you mean Chinese are shit?" Xiao Peng said indignantly.

"Of course not. Well, welcome to the famous "dingpangpangpang square." Joseph pointed to the front.

Xiao Peng saw dingpangpangpang's Square. His eyes were full of disappointment. What kind of square is NIMA calling? It's a big bungalow. It's the same as the row of connected small bungalows next to the Chinese food market! Is this the square?

But now although it is a big night, but here the lights are brilliant, almost all the shops are open for business, the door is also full of cars.

Xiao Peng several people get off the car, Xiao Peng looks at here, the first feeling is: really special returned home! All the shops are in Chinese, with English notes at the bottom. They sell all kinds of food, travel gifts, cigarettes and wine.

However, there is often exaggeration in the front of these shops. For example, a store with such a big voice as "Changjiang trading company" is actually a clothing store with a area of more than ten square meters; the "Hong Kong Island supermarket" is similar to a small supermarket for convenience of the people......

The most popular restaurants here are "Renren seafood restaurant" and "Tianfu authentic Sichuan cuisine". It looks like business is good.

Joseph pointed to a shop and said, "would you like to go to dingpang's house?"

The name of "dingpangzi square" comes from this "dingpangzi Pavilion". The owner of one of the earliest Chinese restaurants here was surnamed Ding, and the name of the restaurant was called dingpangzi restaurant. Today's dingpangzi restaurant has long been divided into two, becoming two adjacent restaurants. The boss doesn't know how many stubbles have been changed, but one of them still has the name "Ding pangzi's Restaurant".

However, although dingpangzi's restaurant is famous, Xiao Peng doesn't want to eat it. The taste of these old restaurants must be that of doing as the Romans do.

"No, no, no, let's go to another restaurant." Xiao Peng said.

Joseph asked curiously, "have you been here before?"Xiao Peng shook his head: "never come."

"Then how do you know which store is delicious?" Joseph asked.

Pointing to the parked car, Xiao Peng said, "isn't it too simple? If you look at which shop has more cars and more Chinese people in it, the store must be delicious. The business of dingpangzi's Inn is good, but you see, all the people in it are foreigners! "

"Cough, you call us foreigners in xingtiao country, you always feel a little awkward." Said Joseph.

Joan pointed to a shop and said, "the business of that shop is so good. Shall we go to eat that shop?"

Xiao Peng tilted his head and saw that there was indeed a shop with a booming business. Almost all the shops were full of seats. however......

"Are you sure which one to eat?" Xiao pengman has already asked everyone.

When he asked, Joan was stunned: "what? Isn't this restaurant delicious? "

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten it again. How can I know? But it was a Sichuan restaurant. From the perspective of so many guests, it should be authentic. We have several major cuisines in China, and Sichuan cuisine is undoubtedly one of the most popular

"What are we waiting for? Go in and eat Said Joan.

Xiao Peng blinked: "the biggest feature of Sichuan cuisine is spicy, can you do it?"

Joan patted her chest and said, "you Chinese can love to eat. How can we not love it? We'll eat that one! "

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "OK, that's it."

Joseph found an empty seat and stopped the car. Xiao Peng and his colleagues went directly to the Sichuan restaurant. A middle-aged Chinese woman looked at them at the cash register and asked them a series of words.

Xiao Peng is a little silly. What is that? Hakka or Cantonese? What if he doesn't understand?

"What?" she asked curiously? Isn't this Chinese? "

Xiao Peng shook his head: "it's really Chinese."

"Why don't you understand him?" Alicia asked curiously.

Xiao Peng explained with a wry smile, "China is a multi-ethnic country, the whole country has 56 nationalities and more than 80 languages. How can I understand all languages?" He then asked the middle-aged woman in English: "is there any place here?"

It turned out to be the middle-aged woman who didn't know English!

Xiao Peng blinked and asked again in Mandarin. Only then did the middle-aged woman understand. She arranged a place for them. But when she turned to leave, she whispered, "what kind of clothes are you going to wear. Speak English here

This also makes Xiao Peng cry and laugh.

Can NIMA blame Xiao Peng? If you come up and tell me you don't know where you are, I'm sure you don't know Chinese. Such things are very normal in xingtiao. Many older immigrants can't speak Putonghua at all. Even some young Chinese can only speak English. How can he know about this woman?

As a result, he said a sentence of English, but he was not wronged.

But now he doesn't have time to worry about it with her. People are starving.

These people have never eaten Sichuan food, so Xiao Peng is entrusted with the task of ordering.

Mapo Tofu must be important. Whether Sichuan cuisine is good or not, Mapo Tofu is a test of the level; double cooked pork, of course; Kung Pao diced chicken; boiled beef with sliced lungs of husband and wife, maoxuewang, fish flavored shredded pork, potted chicken and ants will come up to the tree for everyone to taste. Of course, considering that not everyone eats spicy food, but also some spicy Sichuan dishes, such as mashed garlic White meat, cross legged beef, hot pot with bean curd, sliced pork with Guoba, steamed pork with rice flour and fat beef in sour soup. Everyone has another copy of chicken soup, a portion of hoof flower, and Xiao Peng's best boiled cabbage!

However, Xiao Peng had a lot of expectations for this Sichuan restaurant. After all, there are a lot of dishes here. Even the domestic Sichuan restaurants can't make them! Apart from other things, this boiled cabbage is not a chef who has confidence in himself. He will not cook this dish at all!

When Xiao Peng finished ordering, the restaurant didn't do anything. He changed a big table for them first, and ordered such a big table for four people? They really can't fit their table! Four people changed a big rotating table to put so many dishes.

When so many dishes are on the table, everyone is stupid: why so much?

"Xiao, are these too many? We can't eat it. " Said Alicia.

Xiao Peng scratched his head: "this is a bad habit of Chinese people. You must invite more for dinner, so as not to lose face."

"Is it too wasteful?" Qiong pointed to the big bowl of Mao xuewang and said, "how can I drink such a big bowl of soup?"
