Spring Thunder Chapter 0242: Should be killed, not helped
These young people may have a place in Chinatown. Passersby see the not-so-obvious expressions of disgust on their faces and move aside.
Seeing this situation, Nan Yi pulled the two little girls to the side.
"Dad, why are there short mules in Chinatown?"
"Why can't it be here? Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there are naturally huge profits."
"No, I thought it was all like in The Godfather, with Chicago printers in their hands, and they would just hold them in their hands whenever there was a fight."
"That was a movie, and you took it seriously."
As Nan Yi spoke, his eyes were looking at the young men who were walking straight towards them. He wondered in his heart if these people were blind and couldn't see that there were a bunch of ferocious-looking villains standing next to them?
After calming down his anger and thinking for a while, Nan Yi was just about to deal with the unexpected disaster with a shameless face, but the look from one of the short young men made him want to kill him.
I saw this three-inch-tall man's eyes wandering around the faces of the two little girls, with a hint of lust in the corners of his eyes.
Nan Yi held the two little girls' hands and prepared to pass by the young people, but San Cun Ding had no intention of letting them go. He took two quick steps and blocked Nan Yi's way.
"Don't leave in such a hurry. You're new here. Do you know the rules of Chinatown?"
"I'm just here for tourism. I don't know what the rules are here. May I ask, have I violated any rules here?"
"Hahaha, if you're traveling, then you won't stay here forever. It's okay. We in Chinatown welcome tourists like you very much. It's fun."
San Cun Ding smiled and quickly made way, but when Nan Yi and the others walked away, he said to someone beside him, "Follow them, I want to know where they live."
On the other side, Nan Yi, who was walking away, was whispering to the colonel, "Do you remember the face of the shortest guy just now?"
“I remember.”
"Find out the details. I want to know what his parents do and whether his family has any black relatives. If there is no problem, do it. Don't show up yourself and find black people in Queens."
“Any specific requests?”
"Find someone who knows how to cook. Before he dies, chop up his thing and fry it in good butter for him to eat, medium rare. If his family members are ordinary people, don't bother them. If they are also mixed up in the underworld, please let their family be neat and tidy."
"Boss, this is so creative."
"Hurry up."
"There are people who specialize in this kind of work. They take money and do the job cleanly and efficiently."
"That would be best."
After talking to the colonel, Nan Yi walked to the two little girls, and the three of them watched everything in Chinatown with great interest.
New York's Chinatown is very large, covering dozens of streets. However, apart from a few streets that appear prosperous and peaceful, once you turn into the narrower streets, the style changes immediately. The streets become dark, the air pressure becomes low, the colors of the lights become ambiguous, and you can almost hear the sound of mahjong tiles being shuffled.
On both sides of the wall, you can see women smoking with their backs against the wall or with one leg bent and their high heels against the wall.
Nan Yi took a quick look and roughly understood that this street was full of underground casinos and underground brothels, and there might also be "kitchens" and "restaurants", so he took the two little girls and quickly moved away.
Nan Yi was greatly disappointed with this place. It was completely different from the Chinatown he saw more than ten years later.
At that time, Chinatown had been transformed into a tourist area after the New York police's thunderous crackdown. However, it is now almost the same as Kowloon Walled City and is simply a hotbed of crime.
Back to the main street of Guangming, Nan Yi walked along the way, asking inside the restaurants on both sides of the street to see which restaurant had more yellow-skinned people.
While walking, Nan Yi saw a store with a sign of Jindingge. Most of the people there were yellow-skinned, so he decided to have dinner here.
Walking into the restaurant, I looked at other people's tables. Wow, there was a hodgepodge of food from Sichuan, Shandong and Guangdong. It seemed that this was also a modified Chinese food, with delicacies outside of the four major cuisines [see what the author said].
After finding a seat and sitting down, Nan Yi called over a waiter.
“Can you speak Chinese?”
"Yes." The waiter said, "International students."
"That's great. Let me ask you if there is a chef in your kitchen who just came from China and hasn't returned his skills to his ancestors yet?"
"There is one, who has been here for less than a month."
"What cuisine?"
"It looks like he's from Zhejiang Province, so he cooks Zhejiang cuisine."
Nan Yi thought that the people coming out of Zhejiang Province at this time were most likely from Wenzhou, and most of them would be Oujiang cuisine.
"Then please tell the chef to order seven dishes and one soup, so that he can get a better deal and cook his specialty. I'll give you an extra 10% tip, you can share it with the chef."
The waiter smiled and said "thank you".
There were four small teams following Nan Yi and his team, either openly or secretly, but there were only two or three of them who really liked Chinese food. They were lucky if they could accept Chinese food, as they could often eat with Nan Yi. Otherwise, they had to take turns to fill their stomachs.
"Dad, we've been in New York for a few days. When are we going to Hollywood?"
"If you want to go by yourself, you can go there tomorrow. If you want to go with dad, you have to wait a little longer. Dad still has a lot of work to do here."
"Oh, you won't be done by the time we start school, right?"
"No, I will definitely make time to take you to Hollywood and the White House. Don't worry about other places. Dad will take you there later."
"Godfather, will we come to the Kingdom of Xian again next year?" Fan Hongdou asked.
"Well, come again. This year is a little special. Godfather has too many things to do. Next summer vacation, Godfather will take you to visit more countries. When you grow up a little, you can travel by yourselves and try to visit all parts of the world before you become an adult."
Just as Nan Yi was speaking, a woman walked in from the door of Jinding Pavilion, glanced into the store, and was about to walk to the cashier counter, but halfway there, she stopped and took two steps back, glanced at Nan Yi and his table, then took two steps forward and turned her head to glance again.
The woman put a smile that was hidden deep under her fatigue on her face, turned around and walked towards Nan Yi and the others' table.
"Nan Yi, long time no see."
"Long time no see, classmate Qu." Nan Yi turned around and glanced sideways, "When did you come to the Kingdom of Qin?"
"Can I sit down?" Qu Liuyan pointed to an empty seat.
"Look at me." Nan Yi said self-reproachfully, "I'm so sorry, please sit down, please sit down."
Qu Liuyan sat down awkwardly, and then said hastily: "I came here not long after graduation."
"Oh, graduate school? Which university?"
Hearing Nan Yi's question, Qu Liuyan felt a little embarrassed, and after a pause, she said, "I didn't continue studying."
"Tsk, tsk, you work in New York, at the embassy?"
Nan Yi's question made Qu Liuyan even more embarrassed. She didn't know how to answer. Did I come to the Kingdom of Qin through marriage and marry an old man who thought he was a rich man but was actually a pauper?
Seeing the difficulty on Qu Liuyan's face, Nan Yi immediately had three guesses: 1. She did not obey the assignment and went to work for a foreign company in China, and then was sent to China ; 2. She came here through an informal channel; 3. She married an American to get a green card.
However, Nan Yi quickly ruled out the first guess. There was nothing shameful about working in an American company, so he would not be unable to answer the question.
A top student from Peking University would not come here through illegal means, so the third option is most likely the one.
"get married?"
"Um."
Well, Nan Yi guessed it right. He was so happy that he secretly said, "It's what he deserves!"
He still remembered how passionate and emotional Qu Liuyan was when she debated with Zhou Maode.
What about "We were backward in the past, but I believe that with our efforts, our country will definitely catch up with Western countries...", what about "I believe that there will be bread, milk, and private cars sooner or later, as long as we work hard and are willing to sacrifice..."
These words are still confronting Nan Yi's earwax, but the person who said these words has come to the Kingdom of Qin himself, and he used such a shameful method, hehe!
Nan Yi was secretly happy here, and Qu Liuyan opened her mouth again, "Nan Yi, are you doing well now?"
Nan Yi's mind raced as he guessed that with such an opening statement, the next step would be either to borrow money or to ask him to do something.
“It wasn’t very good. I worked in the assigned job for a year and then returned to the village with the idea of promoting common prosperity in the village. Who knew that the dream was good but the reality was cruel. It was too difficult, really too difficult.
Later, something happened and I couldn't stay in the village anymore. It happened that our place was quite close to Xiangkeng, so I went to Xiangkeng to do the business. In order to do the business, I owed a lot of debts.
Originally, they thought they could make money in the incense pits, but who knew it was hard to get by there. After searching for a long time, they only found a job as a babysitter for children, and it was just the two of them..."
Nan Yi pointed at Nan Ruoyin and Fan Hongdou, "They are my boss' daughters. They are traveling to the country during the summer vacation. As a nanny, I naturally have to follow them. By the way, it's a good opportunity to meet you. I have been here for two days and found that it is easy to make money here . I guess you are doing well now.
Can...can you lend me some money because we are alumni? It’s not much, just 4,000 US dollars, I will pay you back as soon as possible. "
After saying that, Nan Yi looked at Qu Liuyan with hope, pretending not to notice that Qu Liuyan looked as if her mouth was stuffed with dung beetles.
"I...I." Qu Liuyan stammered, "Nan Yi, you've got the wrong person. I'm not well off, so I can't help you at all. Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Student Qu, don't go. If you don't have 4,000, a little less will do, 2,000. If that's not enough, 1,000 will do... Otherwise, 500..."
The more Nan Yi shouted, the faster Qu Liuyan's steps became. She walked out of the Jinding Pavilion in three seconds, found a corner, and started laughing wildly. As she laughed, tears overflowed from her eyes.
"Dad, this aunt is very pretty, why don't you help her?" Nan Ruoyin, who had been holding it in for a long time, asked quickly when she saw Qu Liuyan leaving.
"How do you know that someone wants my help?"
"Humph, I'm not stupid. I saw this auntie as soon as she entered the restaurant. At first she tried to pretend she didn't see you, but then she turned around and made it clear that she wanted to ask you for something."
"My Ruoyin is really smart. She has learned to read people's expressions. We don't have to help everyone in trouble. Some people are worth helping, and some are not. The aunt just now is not worth helping."
“Oh, I see.”
"That's it. Okay, we can eat." Nan Yi has already seen the waiter coming over with a tray.
