Chapter 1199: Moving

With a burst of crisp high-heeled shoes, a nearly middle-aged Chinese woman came out. She was well-dressed and heavily dressed. When she saw Shen Long and Guo Yan, she said in English, "Good afternoon, What can i do for you?"

"We want to eat something, don't go to those fooling the foreign devils, just follow our taste." Shen Long told directly in Chinese, you must know that most of the Chinese restaurants in the United States have been improved to meet the eating habits of the Yankees. A bunch of things like General Tso's chicken, this thing suits the taste of Americans, but the Chinese are not used to it.

"No problem, just look at it! What do you want to eat?" The proprietress Ah Chun led Shen Long and Guo Yan to their seats and sat down, then sent the menu and took out the order book to record. This request is the same for Chinese restaurants. No stranger, after all, they also want to do Chinese business.

Shen Long looked through the menu. Although Ah Chun's restaurant is called Xiangyuan Building, it is not only Hunan cuisine, but also has some common dishes. If Shen Long and Guo Yan ordered a few dishes such as shredded pork with Beijing sauce Beijing cuisine.

"Wait a minute, I'll be here soon." Achun took the list and sent it to the kitchen. When she came back, she had an extra pot of tea in her hand. After pouring it for them, Achun didn't leave in a hurry, " You look a little unfamiliar, haven't you been here before? Did you just come from China? But it doesn't seem like it?"

This is her habit of doing business. She not only treats the customers who come to the store as customers, she often likes to chat with them, and becomes friends with these customers every time she comes and goes. They always come to Xiangyuan Building when they want to eat out. This is Ah Chun The way of business; so when I saw a newcomer coming in, I came over to chat.

"We came from Beijing, and we just came to New York for half a month; speaking of it, we don't know each other completely. My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Qiming. This is my wife Guo Yan; our uncle at the beginning is Mr. Sun. I recommended you to come to work here, but some things were delayed later, I finally have time today, so I came to say hello to you, thank you for giving me this opportunity at the beginning." Shen Long came and said his identity and origin over again.

"Oh, it's Mr. Sun's relative. That's what happened. You don't have to be polite. We're all Chinese. It's okay to help each other when you go out. I'm the boss's wife here. Just call me Ah Chun." Already." Ah Chun nodded, looking at the two of them even more curiously, since Lao Sun would introduce him to me, it means that the two of them have nothing to do in New York, but judging by their current appearance, they don't resemble each other. Are you going to come to work here?

Ah Chun has opened a restaurant for many years, and his eyes are very poisonous. From the time Shen Long and Guo Yan first came in, it can be seen that they are different from other Chinese who have just arrived in the United States. Confident, and it seems that the two of them have been doing well during this time.

"What did you two do in China before? Since Mr. Wang didn't come to me,

You must have found a suitable job, right? Ah Chun asked while helping them refill their teacups.

"We used to work in a symphony orchestra. I played the cello, and she played the violin. It's considered a skill. These days, I've been performing on the streets. Americans are quite generous, and they can live a decent life." Shen Long said generously .

"It's not that Chinese people who are engaged in music work have come to the United States these years, but it's really rare to see people like you two." Now Ah Chun was even more surprised. The waiters and dishwashers in her restaurant Well, quite a few of them are high-level technical talents, but they dare not go outside by themselves. These two are right at all, and they have figured out the way of New York so quickly.

"It's just a stopgap measure. Let's save some money first. During this time, we are also learning English every day. After the language pass, we will think about other ways out." Shen Long's goal is to perform at Carnegie Hall.

At this time, the dishes were served, and Ah Chun immediately got up, "Don't delay your meal, you two have a good time." Then he walked briskly and greeted the guests familiarly, "Long time no see, Mr. John! How you do—ing... Oh, you look dieeerent today Janng, come this way."

Guo Yan kept staring at Ah Chun's figure for a long time before turning her head and whispering, "This woman is quite powerful, why do I look a little like Mrs. Ah Qing?"

"Boiling three rivers in a copper pot, welcoming guests from all directions with a smile, you must have this kind of personality when opening a restaurant. The guests will continue to come here in the future if they eat comfortably." Another figure of Mrs. Ah Qing appeared in Shen Long's mind. .

"Uh, it's really comfortable. It's much more comfortable than eating in a state-run cafeteria in the capital. The waiter there slumped, as if we owed her money." From this perspective, the United States is indeed much better than China.

But when it was time to pay, Guo Yan took back what she said just now. It was too expensive. One meal cost her two months' salary in China, and Ah Chun changed from Mrs. Ah Qing to her Became a black-hearted boss lady.

"Her dishwashing job costs 800 US dollars a month, plus rent, taxes, grocery shopping, etc., this price is not exaggerated." Shen Long explained, waving to Ah Chun who sent it out , took Guo Yan back.

Continue to rest the next day. After the rest, I go back to work at the Lincoln Art Center. After the performance, I either go to the bar for a drink with Robert and Boris, or go back to the basement to learn English. Before I know it, it’s another half a month time passed.

On this day, Shen Long and Guo Yan did not go to perform at the Lincoln Center for the Arts, but took stock of their income during this period in the basement. Guo Yan sorted out the big and small banknotes they had received these days and counted them one by one.

"Qiming, guess how much we earned?" In their damp basement, Qiang laughed triumphantly, Guo Yan shook the bag containing the money, "Two thousand three hundred and twenty-five dollars and thirty cents ! Haha, we got rich!"

She hugged Shen Long excitedly, and held him tightly, "Counting the money back to my aunt, and this month's rent, we earned at least three thousand dollars this month for eating out; Tell me, why is American money so easy to make!"

After getting excited, Guo Yan began to think about what to do with the money, "These two hundred, pay the rent, and there is one hundred more, send it to Ningning, or send an extra hundred? Give Ningning two hundred?"

"Giving her too much money is not necessarily a good thing, but my brother and your relatives have helped a lot when we go abroad, so I will give an extra three hundred and let Ningning take my brother to the Friendship Store to buy something for them Send it over."

"Forget about the rent, we don't live here anymore, let's move!"
