Chapter 492 The Fire at the City Gate Affects the Fish in the Pond
Gang fight? That’s none of his business! Although Long Ziyou didn’t take it seriously, he still expressed his gratitude to the kind-hearted Jamie: “Thank you, Jamie.”
Seeing the iconic archway at the street entrance, although Long Ziyou had never been to Chinatown in New York, he knew that Chinatown was here. He had seen that iconic archway too many times on TV.
Walking side by side with Duan Ying on the bustling streets, most of the people I saw were oriental faces, and the friendly Chinese language I heard was spoken. There were even many famous domestic snacks. Longziyou had a feeling of being in China.
The two walked a few hundred meters and tasted several famous domestic specialty snacks, and then walked into a restaurant with oriental characteristics and antique decoration. The name of the restaurant is Fulong Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant, and even the signboard is written in Chinese.
Long Ziyou and Duan Ying chose a window seat on the second floor so that they could enjoy the lively scene of the street below while eating.
"What do you two want to eat?" As soon as the two sat down, a beautiful waiter in a bright red cheongsam came over to pour them tea and then handed them a recipe.
The beautiful waiter was Chinese and spoke Chinese. Long Ziyou felt very friendly. He would not feel this way at home, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder people abroad say that when you are farther away from your motherland
, you will love your country more!
"Let's have twice-cooked pork with spicy stir-fry, spicy and sour shredded potatoes..." Long Ziyou and Duan Ying ordered three dishes and one soup.
It was dinner time now. After ordering, he looked around. Long Ziyou found that there were still many foreigners coming to eat, so he smiled and said, "It seems that our Chinese food is quite popular in the United States."
"Of course, I heard from a relative in the United States that more than half of Americans like to eat Chinese food, and this proportion is still increasing." Duan Ying said proudly.
"Our Chinese food culture has a long history, is extensive and profound, how can it be compared to Western food." Long Ziyou said with a smile, and a sense of pride was unconsciously revealed in his words.
"Although the Chinese food tastes okay, it is unfortunately not nutritious and the way to eat it is not healthy." At this time, a sarcastic voice came from the next table, and he was still speaking in Chinese.
Long Ziyou and Duan Ying looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the speaker was a man in his thirties with an oriental face. Judging from his irregular Chinese pronunciation and his very average height, Long Ziyou concluded that this man should be a Japanese.
There were four tough-looking young men at the same table with him.
Seeing the two people looking at each other, the man showed no sign of being disturbed at all. Instead, his eyes were provocative, as if to say: If you have the guts, just come over!
Long Ziyou ignored the Japanese man's provocative look and returned his gaze to Duan Ying, who was sitting opposite him. He shook his head and sighed: "Sister Ying, some clowns nowadays always like Yelang to be arrogant and think that I am the best in the world. In fact,
It’s just a frog in the well!”
"Giggle..." Duan Ying covered her mouth and smiled. She naturally knew that Long Ziyou was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.
Although the man didn't quite understand the meaning of the idioms in Long Zi Youhua, he still roughly knew the meaning of Long Zi Youhua, especially he knew the meaning of frog in the well. This was enough. He was naturally looking for trouble.
He shouted, "Baga! Who are you calling a frog in the well?"
The phrase "Baga" naturally labels a man as Japanese.
"Weird things happen every year, especially this year. Nowadays, there are many people who admit that they are rich, rich and handsome, but they like to match up with others and admit that they are a frog in the well. This is the first time I have seen someone. Sister Ying, do you think it's funny or not?" Long Zi
You smiled calmly, seemingly not paying attention to the Japanese man's outburst at all.
"Zi You, this is not China, don't cause trouble." Duan Ying was a little nervous and scared when she saw five Japanese coming over.
At this moment, a panting waiter was reporting to a man in his thirties sitting behind the desk in an office on the third floor: "Brother Tiger, that guy from Tanaka has brought a bunch of people over to cause trouble again!"
The man called Brother Long by the waiter is called Meng Hu. He is the younger brother of Meng Long, the boss of the Green Dragon Gang in Chinatown. He is known as the "Chinatown Tiger" on the streets of New York. He got such a nickname because he looked like a man during the war.
He dares to fight and charge like a desperate Saburo.
"Let's go, let's talk as we walk." As soon as Meng Hu heard that the Japanese were coming to cause trouble, Meng Hu stood up and walked out quickly without saying a word.
When he arrived at the lobby on the second floor, Meng Hu had already learned from the waiter how and why Tian Zhong was making trouble this time. Seeing that Tian Zhong had not taken action yet, he felt relieved. He wanted to immediately step forward and drive Tian Zhong away, but
However, he found that Long Ziyou, who was surrounded, had a relaxed look on his face and even had a smile on his face. He didn't seem to pay attention to the five people in Tanaka at all. He couldn't help but stop his steps.
"Baga, I want you to apologize for insulting me just now! And..." At this point, Tian Zhong stared at Duan Ying with a smile on his face, and pointed at Duan Ying and said: "Let this flower girl accompany me for one night.
, let it be settled."
The cold light in Long Ziyou's eyes flashed away, and then he stood up slowly. Tanaka thought that Long Ziyou wanted to apologize, so he raised his head with a proud look, but at this moment, Long Ziyou
His hand suddenly stretched out like lightning, and two clear slaps sounded.
Tanaka was slapped by Long Ziyou and took two steps back. There was a clearly visible handprint of five fingers on both sides of his face. He stared at Long Ziyou in shock and anger. He never expected that Long Ziyou was facing him alone.
Five people actually dared to hit themselves first!
Seeing that Long Ziyou actually beat up the Japanese for her own sake, Duan Ying was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and something in her heart seemed to be touched.
Seeing that there was going to be a fight, the diners in the hall paid their bills and left one after another, which made Meng Hu very angry. He apologized to the diners and gave them discount cards, thinking that he must ask Tanaka to settle the bill.
Calculate it clearly.
"Baga! Why don't you get involved with him!" Seeing that his four younger brothers had forgotten to take action due to surprise, Tanaka yelled loudly in Japanese.
"Stop!" Just as Tanaka's four younger brothers were receiving orders and preparing to rush forward and beat up Long Zi You Pang, a loud and powerful voice sounded.
With the new changes, the four younger brothers naturally stopped and looked at their boss, waiting for his instructions.
Seeing his old rival Meng Hu appear, Tianzhong naturally knew that this matter could not go on. However, being slapped twice under the eyes of his old rival made him feel very humiliated, so he persisted and said: "Mr. Meng Hu, this
This matter is between me and that boy, it has nothing to do with you. I hope you won’t interfere! Huh, otherwise don’t blame me for being unkind!”
"Hmph, it's better to say it than to sing it. Tanaka, is there anything we can say about friendship between you and me?" Meng Hu said with disdain, "So, do you want to leave by yourself or do you want me to blast you away?"
"Boy, if you can walk out of Chinatown tonight, I will take your surname!" Since his team was thin and weak, it was impossible to regain face. Tanaka put down his words and prepared to leave.
However, Long Ziyou was very disrespectful and said sarcastically: "I don't want to have such an old son, let alone a Japanese son."
"You..." Being slapped in the face so nakedly, Tanaka was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and his face turned as red as pig liver.
Seeing Meng Hu staring at him like a poisonous snake, Tanaka knew that if he continued to waste his time, he would just grind with his bare butt - spinning around in circles would be embarrassing! So he took a deep look at Ryuko Yu and left without looking back.
The two of them had just had a conflict, and people who didn't know better might have thought that they had some sort of 'gay' relationship.
Long Ziyou naturally knew that Tanaka would send someone to stay near the restaurant and wait for the two of them to leave, so he immediately sent two 'scouts' to follow Tanaka. Although he couldn't understand Japanese, he knew his enemy and his friend and was prepared.
.
"My dear, Meng Hu, Tian is the person in charge of Fulong Restaurant. Didn't you ask your brother Gao for his name?" After Tian Zhong left, Meng Hu got close to Long Ziyou. He saw Long Ziyou's performance and skills just now.
In his eyes, there was naturally a desire to make friends.
"Don't dare. My surname is Long and my given name is Ziyou." Long Ziyou smiled modestly, and then introduced Duan Ying next to him to Meng Hu. Although it was not an encounter with an old friend in a foreign country, it was still possible to meet an old friend in a foreign country.
Compatriots, that is still something worth being happy about.
"It turns out to be Brother Long. Most of the Chinese in Chinatown are familiar to me. How come I haven't seen you before? You just went abroad?" Meng Long said with a smile.
"Manager Meng is right, yes, I just came to the United States a few days ago." Long Ziyou nodded.
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite. In the vast sea of people, it is fate that we can meet each other. Brother Long, why don't we have a meal together." Meng Hu extended the invitation.
"I wish you all, but I dare not invite you. Manager Meng, I am honored." Long Ziyou accepted the invitation, for no other reason than to make a friend and learn more about American society.
"We are all brothers within the four seas. Brother Long, don't be polite. Just call me Brother Meng or Brother Meng." Meng Hu said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Meng, you're welcome." Meng Hu's boldness made Long Ziyou feel that this person is not bad.
Meng Hu took Long Ziyou and Duan Ying to a private room, ordered four dishes, one soup and a bottle of white wine, and then started chatting happily. As they talked, they naturally talked about the conflict with Tanaka just now.
Long Ziyou told the story of the conflict between the two of them and Tanaka.
"The city gate was on fire, affecting the fish in the pond. I'm sorry, Brother Long, Tanaka came to trouble me, but I didn't expect that he caused trouble for you." Meng Hu said with an apology on his face.
Only then did Long Ziyou realize that he had become a fish in the pond beside the city gate. However, he did not blame Meng Hu. Instead, he was quite curious as to why Tanaka wanted to trouble Meng Hu.
Sorry, I have a meeting in the county today, so the second update cannot be completed before twelve o'clock. I owe everyone a chapter, and I will make it up within three days.
