Manhattan's Chinatown, where Li Jie's Grandpa Li Rong's restaurant is located. This Chinatown is different from other Chinatowns in the United States.
Most of the Chinese people gathered in other Chinatowns serve the majority of Chinese people. Although they do n’t want to say that, most Chinatowns in the United States are not in a good geographic location and security situation.
But this place in Manhattan is different.
This Chinatown is adjacent to Wall Street and close to the New York City Government, and the famous Broadway is just a stone's throw away.
This is one of the most prime locations in New York City, and even Chinatown in Manhattan has become a recommended spot in New York Travel Magazine.
The shops here are not entirely for the Chinese, and many people of different ethnicities come here to shop or eat.
MR · LI restaurant is located in the best part of this street. This was achieved by Li Jie's grandfather who worked hard all his life.
This is a large restaurant with 50 counters, and there are also private rooms in 12 Chinese restaurants.
Today is a day to celebrate, because Li Jie ’s grandfather, Mr. Li Rong, officially bought this property under his name, and from today on, this restaurant will belong to him completely.
As a celebration, Li Rong invited many neighbors from Chinatown and friends from the Overseas Chinese Association to come to dinner. As a Chinese, no matter where you go, the tradition of loving is never changed.
As Li Jie's friends, Peter and Harry also came to say hi to his grandfather, which is regarded as respecting the tradition of the elderly, and also brought their girlfriends.
"Is this your restaurant?" In October the weather in New York and the cold, Mary Jane in a goose yellow coat rubbed her cool little hands and asked Li Jiedao.
"Yes, welcome to all of you." Li Jiezheng accompanied Harry and Peter. "To be precise, this is my grandpa's restaurant."
"My parents have little interest in inheriting this restaurant."
"But you and I believe you will become a good boss. You can make the business of this restaurant even more popular, and even be able to board a world-class food magazine." Gwen said with a smile around Peter's arm.
"Yeah, come in classmates." Li Jie pushed open the door of the restaurant and invited everyone to enter. "Welcome to MR · LI."
This is a large restaurant with nearly 400 square meters. Fifty tables are not crowded in the spacious hall.
Every table is kept at a suitable distance. It does not make the diners feel like they are sitting on an isolated island, nor can they hear the conversation next door because the tables are too close.
And the second floor is the location of twelve boxes.
Wooden partitions and traditional Chinese carved wooden doors are the main decorative styles of this restaurant. The unpainted elm doors and elm window grilles are thus placed on the walls of the restaurant.
While bringing Chinese style to the restaurant, it will not be too eye-catching.
Many Chinese restaurants abroad use Chinese red as the main color during decoration. Of course, this is not to say that this color is not good, but it is a kind of alert color. The intense red has been seen for too long. It will give some people a feeling of uneasiness.
And MR · LI's decoration style is more pursuit of natural style, furniture and decoration style are closer to the simple Ming style.
This is unique among Chinese restaurants in the United States with Qing-style decoration style.
"Wow, this Chinese restaurant looks different from what I've been to before." Gwen looked up and down at this restaurant. "I feel more relaxed here, not as restrained as the average Chinese restaurant."
"Yeah, the Jason's restaurant is my favorite Chinese restaurant." Peter shook Gwen's little hand.
"Well, where is our host today, Jason? I brought good champagne as a gift." Harry holding champagne as a congratulatory gift was looking for Li Rong everywhere.
"Come on, guys, upstairs." Li Jie took the crowd to a private room on the second floor and pushed open the door. His parents Li En and Jia Sili and grandpa Li Rong were all in the room.
And his grandfather Li Rong invited the same country and neighbors are in several other boxes.
"Uncle Engel, Aunt Jiasili and Grandpa Rong, everyone." Peter and Harry greeted Li Jie's elders with two beautiful girls.
"This is a gift I brought, a nice bottle of champagne, which my father picked for me." Harry said to the gift he brought to Li Rong.
"Oh ~ there is mine, this is the chocolate cake I made with Gwen, although not very good, but I still hope you can like it." Peter said and took out his own gift.
"Thank you, thank you Harry, and thank you Peter." Li Rong smiled and took over the gifts from the two children.
Li Rong is already 65 years old this year, but his body is still very healthy and his lifestyle is very healthy. Go to bed and eat on time every day, and maintain proper aerobic exercise and muscle exercise.
This makes Li Rong look like a middle-aged man in his early fifties, completely unable to see his old age.
As an old man who has experienced many winds and rains, Li Rong's mentality has always been very peaceful. He is a Chinese cooking master in the United States.
After many years of hard work, it is his ideal to finally have a restaurant that belongs to himself, and the scale of MR · LI is not a small restaurant on the roadside.
Although their son and daughter-in-law are obviously lacking interest in inheriting the restaurant, they prefer to wear a suit to go to get off work in the bank 9 to 5 in the morning.
But anyway, his grandson Li Jie is willing to inherit his career, especially Li Jie made it clear that he does not want to go to college, Li Rong hopes that he will officially take over the restaurant after graduating from high school.
But today Li Jie was late on this important day to make the old man unhappy. "Xiaojie, you are late today, we are all waiting for you." Li Rong's voice was a little serious.
"Oh, Grandpa, you know, I don't like toasting with people from the Chinatown Association." Li Jie was deliberately late.
The habit of toasting each other, whether in his previous life or this life, he didn't like it, but many Chinese people like to do it, which made him speechless.
And some people completely disregard the law that minors can not drink alcohol, and still pull him to say that he is such a big man to drink a few glasses of alcohol is nothing, and what beer is not alcohol.
For this kind of mixed people, Li Jie has no desire to deal with at all.
"Well, I know that the guys of Lao Wang are a bit jerk, but they are all neighbors. Don't worry too much about some things." Li Rong said.
Li Jie shook his head and didn't want to argue with grandpa on this kind of thing. If he really wants to take over this restaurant in the future, the style of the restaurant will be overthrown according to his ideas.
He couldn't even tell his grandfather about this matter, he was afraid that the old man's heart was not good.
"Jie, you should also find a girlfriend. You see how good girls Harry and Peter have found." Li Jie's father Li En talked about this topic again.
"Yeah, Gwen and Mary are the two most beautiful girls I have ever seen." Mrs. Kasiri also said.
"Well can we eat first?" Li Jie immediately wanted to end this topic.
"Don't be shy, Jason, I can introduce girls to your date. Many Broadway girls like you." Mary Jane smiled gently.
"Yes, Jason, there are many beautiful girls in Midtown Middle School. Maybe one day we are having an outdoor barbecue party. I can invite a few to come over." Gwen also blinked her beautiful Big blue eyes said ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Okay thank you. "Li Jie felt his neck uncomfortably." Grandpa, today I don't think there are any other guests in the store. What's the matter? "
"Today is a family feast, I pushed off all reservations and individual guests to rest for one day." Li Rong opened the champagne sent by Harry and poured himself a glass.
"And I don't know why these days, the number of RB people on the market suddenly increased."
"Is it because of the tourist season?"
"I don't know, but the gift shop opened by Lao Chen's family a few days ago was argued with an RB person and was beaten by the RB person.
"Today is a good day, and I do n’t want to get rid of this kind of arrogance, so I wo n’t open it."
When did RB people become so arrogant? In the United States, by the way, fight on the street? Well, today is a good day, don't think about it for now.
Li Jie is now thinking about other more important things, Harry Osbourne and Norman Osbourne.
He didn't know whether the green goblin would appear according to the original plot, or whether the green goblin appeared because of a virus or because of chemical pollution.
But looking at Harry who was chatting with his family and smiling happily, Li Jie felt that it might be necessary to check the situation of the Osborne Group.
Hmm ~ that "intern" should be able to help a lot.
