Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 182 Return to New York
Subtitle of this chapter: Let’s play idiom chain
Yuan Yanshu originally wanted to stay in this country club for a few more days, mainly because the air here is much sweeter and fresher than that in my hometown of Xinxiang.
New York, which borders the Atlantic Ocean, has a typical marine climate with four distinct seasons: extremely hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. It is the beginning of winter in late November, and the temperature at night is around zero degrees. The most effective way to keep warm these days is to light a fire.
So with thousands of chimneys spewing black smoke outside, plus so many factories and cars, how can the air be good?
Really, what are the diplomats of the Republic of China in the consulate in New York doing? Can’t we publish the PM2.5 data every day to slap them in the face?
Well, next time we meet, I must remind that First Secretary Uncle Luo Jiaxiang to care about the health of the American people.
But his personal lawyer, Mr. John McCall, called Yuan Yanshu one after another, urging him to return to Manhattan as soon as possible, because this Saturday was the day for the press conference, and the Chinatown matter had not been resolved yet.
Our Master Yuan was really unhappy. According to the classification of online literature in later generations, he was also the protagonist of the literary plagiarism. And the routine of the literary plagiarism is that someone should look down on you - you copy the book in anger and slap yourself in the face - the world exclaims in admiration and admiration - the enemy covers his face in shame and speechlessness - and then it happens again, twice, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... times? Well, during this period, you also have to build a harem, open a factory, and recruit younger brothers.
Why does the protagonist have so many problems? It’s ok to be just a factory boy, but there’s no sign of a harem yet. A book like this is doomed to fail!
Although Yuan Yanshu was not very happy, he still had to do things, so he stayed for only one more day and returned to New York with Louis Baker on Tuesday.
"Neo, are you getting off here?"
Mr. Baker looked at the "scenery" in Chinatown and asked worriedly, "Is it safe here? How about I ask the driver to accompany you in?"
Our Master Yuan slowly put on his leather gloves made of top-grain calfskin, adjusted his English wool coat with a beaver fur collar, and finally picked up his expensive high-end hat and said with a smile: "Louis, don't worry. I am Chinese, and coming here is like a fish returning to water..."
“Crash!”
Someone poured a basin of dirty water of a very suspicious color from the second floor in front of the luxury car.
"Ahem..." The Chinese "Fish" immediately changed the subject and said, "Louis, my place should be ready tomorrow, don't forget to come over and fight Majhong."
Mr. Baker slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, that's great. My hands have been itching these days. By the way, Miss Pulitzer also wants to come over and do an interview with you."
Master Yuan winked and smiled, "Interview? I have to agree to it for your sake. But let's talk about it after I finish the press conference. Goodbye, Louis."
"Goodbye, Neo."
He watched the car leave Chinatown, then immediately pulled out a perfumed silk handkerchief from his trouser pocket, covered his nose with it, and walked quickly towards his destination, "An Liang Building."
He seems to be getting too into the role of a high-class Chinese.
In fact, the so-called Anliang Building was just a three-story building. However, at that time, there was such a "building" in Chinatowns in major cities in the United States. Anliangtang, a rising star of the Hongmen, almost became the largest underground force of Chinese in the United States.
In fact, Anliang Hall is a branch of Hongmen Zhigongtang, which is the common "Hongmen Daban". Situ Meitang joined Zhigongtang in Los Angeles as early as 1885, and in 1904 he established Anliang General Hall in New York. Then in 1905, Situ Longtou became the "general supervisor" of Zhigongtang.
Well, actually, when Situ Meitang was struggling to become the chairman of Zhigongtang, he also opened a small company called Anliangtang. So to be honest, Anliangtang is his direct line.
"You are... Master Yuan?! Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you in this outfit. You don't look like a Chinese like us.!”
"Can't we Chinese dress like this? Next time, I'll get you one too. By the way, is Fifth Master here?"
"Second Master, you are making fun of me. Yes, yes, yes, they are all waiting for you, as well as your foreign lawyer... I say, what are you guys standing there for? Second Master, the Nintendo saint who was famous throughout New York a few days ago, is here. Go in and inform Fifth Master!"
Hearing this, Yuan Yan nodded secretly in his heart. Yes, with his current status, he should let the Hongmen brothers invite him in.
This time he was even more impressive, standing in front of the Anliang Building in such a domineering manner.
Soon, a group of people headed by Hongqi Dawu came out to greet him. He now understood that he really couldn't afford to offend this Second Master Yuan, a person who was even visited by the Vice President of the United States. Now, let alone settling accounts, even neglecting him was not allowed.
Therefore, Li Jie said with a smile on his face: "It is true that those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. Brother Hongjian is more elegant than ever!"
"It is true that a friendship is revealed only when one dies. I was able to avoid this prison disaster thanks to the great help of Brother Zi Yixian."
"As the saying goes, brothers are united in strength and can break metal. The Hongmen in the world are one family. This is as it should be. Moreover, even if I am not your elder brother, you will definitely be able to turn adversity into blessing and misfortune into good fortune."
"As the saying goes, a peach or plum tree attracts people without saying anything. Brother Ziyi is truly a chivalrous man. I am grateful and admire him..."
The two Hongmen disciples exchanged greetings with earnest smiles on their faces and fired "three and a half sticks of incense". Then, they recited... idioms at the gate.
"Come on, come on, dear brother Hongjian. I'll introduce you to some good friends..."
Naturally, the people introduced by Hongqi Laowu were all pharmacy owners.
"This old gentleman is the shopkeeper Huang of Baozhilin..."
Our Master Yuan thought to himself, I wonder if there is a Thirteenth Aunt in their family.
"I've heard a lot about you."
"This is Manager Hu from Hu Qing Yu Tang..."
Yuan Yanshu muttered to herself again, Hu Xueyan even opened a branch in New York? This business philosophy is quite advanced and international.
"Nice to meet you."
"This is Chen Liji's shopkeeper Chen and shopkeeper Li..."
Master Yuan was immediately in awe when he heard the three words "Chenliji". This is a 400-year-old shop that has been around since the Wanli period of our country . It can be said to be a synonym for "Guangdong medicine". It is said that the old Buddha took the Wuji Baifeng pills presented by this shop all year round.
"Oh, it's such an honor..."
Hmm, this doesn't seem right.
