Zhang Lisheng fell into silence for a moment facing the blonde girl's expression that changed faster than flipping a page. He sighed helplessly and said, "Perhaps I shouldn't have saved you back then," He then skipped school for the first time in America and got into a brand new red BMW TT on the street.
Tina started the car and sped up to the speed limit. She asked proudly, "Mr. Worm, I still don't know your real name?"
Zhang Lisheng who was sitting on the passenger seat looked out of the window at the busy city streets that had just woken up and said softly, "You've gotten someone to follow me but you don't know my name? Is that possible?"
Tina smiled awkwardly, "It's a little ridiculous. Alright Lisheng, I'll tell you about our schedule today.
First, we'll go to the Goose Pond Restaurant for breakfast. Then, we'll go to a barber in the Blue Collar District to get me a fresh, civilian short haircut so that I can impress the civil court judge.
As the judge's handyman, they'll definitely prefer people of the same class … "
"Wait, aren't we going to court now?"
"Of course, I received the subpoena after 1: 30 this afternoon, it's still early."
"Sh * t," Zhang Lisheng frowned and cursed. He said nothing more.
Just like that, Tina chatted with Zhang Lisheng who had been silent throughout the journey until they arrived at the Goose Pond Restaurant on the Upper East Side of New York.
The Upper East Side was where the wealthiest New Yorkers lived. If Manhattan was the crown of New York, this place would be the brightest pearl on the crown.
Especially the small area from Fifth Avenue to the east and Lexington Avenue to the west, if one was wealthy enough, everything in the world would be within reach if one stayed there. One could say that it was the representation of heaven on earth.
Meanwhile, the Goose Pond Restaurant was located there.
The restaurant did not look big and the front was a little old. The outer wall was decorated with classical-style columns and statues, it did not look magnificent at all.
The doorman was a tall, skinny old man with gray hair. He wore a ridiculous blue hat and had a solemn expression that seemed sacred and inviolable.
There was a long waiting line in front of him.
Many foreign visitors with a little bit of money and free time would hope to enjoy an expensive and flashy breakfast in this restaurant that was rated as the best breakfast restaurant in New York that was rated as a five-star by the travel guide when they arrived in Manhattan.
When Lili parked her car in front of the Goose Pond Restaurant, many of the people queuing had an expression of anticipation as they waited for another person to be taught a lesson by the old doorman.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
Tina and Zhang Lisheng got off the car together and walked to the entrance of the restaurant while swaying. She tossed the key to the old doorman directly and said with a bitter face, "Arthur, park the car for me and get a sugar-free iced cola across the street to refresh myself.
Do you know that I have to go to the civil court for counseling this afternoon? Because of illegal parking, the judge might want to revoke my license. "
"Oh, New York's court is too much, but God will bless a kind and beautiful girl like you. Everything will be fine," the old doorman's serious expression melted right away as he consoled with sympathy. Then, he bowed courteously and opened the restaurant door before saying, "Welcome to Goose Pond Restaurant with this honorable gentleman, Ms. Tina."
"Thanks, Arthur," Tina held Zhang Lisheng's shoulder as she spoke. Tina held Zhang Lisheng's shoulder as she spoke. Just when they were about to walk into the restaurant, a dissatisfied shout came from the people queuing behind them all of a sudden. "Hey, Mr. Doorman, didn't you say that Goose Pond Restaurant doesn't accept reservations or valet parking?
Why is that girl an exception?!
You … You want to buy her a sugar-free cola? Oh God, is this a burger restaurant or the best breakfast restaurant in New York's Upper West Side? "
"Her name is Douglin, sir," The old doorman said in a matter-of-fact tone to the other customers' criticism, "This street used to be the Douglin family's barn over a hundred years ago. The Goose Pond Restaurant is the Goose Pond of the barn.
Ever since Manhattan existed, the Douglin family has always been able to enter any store here without any obstacles. They don't need to make a reservation and every service provider is willing to serve them.
I'm sorry, I need to park Ms. Tina Douglin's car. "
He then walked to the red BMW TT slowly and got into the car strenuously. He drove away slowly.
Tina, on the other hand, turned her head to look at the people queuing and showed an apologetic expression. She walked into the restaurant while holding Zhang Lisheng's arm, leaving many dumbfounded tourists outside.
In the restaurant, a waitress went up to Tina as soon as she walked in. She greeted with her teeth showing, "Hi Ms. Tina, are you still sitting at the same table as before?"
"Yes, Stephanie, thank you."
"You're too kind, please follow me." The waitress brought Tina and Zhang Lisheng to a small table by the window where they could look at New York Central Park. She asked them to sit down and handed them the menu.
Tina did not open the menu at all and ordered a very normal Spaghetti with Tomato Sirloin right away.
At that moment, Zhang Lisheng said all of a sudden, "This is the United States that's known as the most free, democratic and fair country."
Tina waved her hand in an indifferent manner and said, "Don't be so cynical, Lisheng. Every place has its own unique order.
Moreover, what you think is unfair is just a breakfast.
What would you like to eat? I recommend you to have a Spaghetti with Tomato Sirloin like me, it's delicious. "
"I've had breakfast at home."
"So are you going to watch me eat like this?"
"Forget it, I'll have it then.
I'll have a Spaghetti with Tomato Sirloin too, please. "
"Please wait for a moment." The waitress had seen Tina bringing different men to the Goose Pond Restaurant but had never thought she would date a skinny Asian young man. She nodded professionally and turned around to leave.
"Is that New York Central Park over there?" Zhang Lisheng turned his head to look at the cold, vast wilderness outside the window and asked after ordering.
"Of course it is. How long have you been in New York? You've never been to Central Park?"
"I've been here for two to three months but I've never had the chance to go to Manhattan."
"You've been in New York for a few months but you've never been to Manhattan. You're such a weird person. You don't seem to be curious about anything around you at all. You're living in your own world.
Also, I just realized why are you always carrying a canvas bag instead of putting it in the car? "
"There's my lucky item in this backpack, I've always been carrying it with me." Zhang Lisheng was stunned and said while smiling, "You know Tina, you look smart sometimes and you're sharp too."
"That doesn't sound like a compliment.
Do you mind if I take a look at what your lucky item is? I'm curious. Also, don't you have any difficulties or anything that you want?
There's a lot of things that I can help you with with my family name, Douglin. "
Zhang Lisheng thought of something and took off his backpack to show Tina Mountoad. He said after a moment of hesitation, "I do have a weird request. Can you help me, help me … Forget it.
I don't think you can help me with this. "
"Why don't you tell me? You won't lose anything anyway," Tina said while smiling.
At that moment, the waitress served them two steaming hot Spaghetti with Tomato Sirloin and two cups of Diet Coke.
The beef sirloin that was cut into small pieces looked smooth and shiny after being soaked in the gravy. It was extremely appetizing lying in a pile of fresh red and green tomatoes that were almost mashed into a sauce.
Zhang Lisheng used a fork to roll a piece of macaroni and dipped it into the sirloin and tomatoes before putting it into his mouth. His taste buds were dancing in joy right away.
"It's delicious, no wonder people line up so early in the morning."
"People who line up usually wouldn't order such ordinary food. They have no idea that only spaghetti and roast pork chops are Goose Pond Restaurant's real specialty.
Alright, tell me, what can I help you with? "
"I need a large amount of meat. I'm working at Dan Souza Butcher Shop now because I can get some expired raw meat from time to time," Zhang Lisheng finally said.
"Why do you need a large amount of raw meat?" Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's bizarre request that was miles away from her imagination, Tina who was rolling up the pasta in her hand but forgot to stuff it into her mouth was stunned for a moment before asking in shock.
Zhang Lisheng fell into silence and said bullsh * t, "You know that I was born in a mountain village. I've been in contact with nature since I was young. I love nature and the colorful ecology. I wanted to be a biologist since I was young.
I realized that my dream wasn't that far away after I came to America. I could even start preparing for it now. The first topic that I picked was to study mutated insects.
Do you remember the giant centipede in the Western Sichuan forest that I tamed like a hound? "
"Of course, I'll never forget it!
Is that centipede still with you? If it is, I hope you can show it to my two best sisters. Did they think I was hallucinating when I mentioned it to them? "
"Of course not, such a giant centipede can't pass the airport security.
However, I want to cultivate it in the US again. Since New York is not the dense jungle in Western Sichuan, I must use a very mysterious and ancient method to select and cultivate the insects to achieve this goal. I'll need a huge amount of meat to consume. "
"Wow, seems like your first topic in life is the Nobel Prize in biomedicine. But how much meat do you actually need to cultivate such a centipede?"
"The more, the better."
Tina thought for a while and said while laughing out loud all of a sudden, "That's why you went to work at the butcher shop and stole the expired raw meat that was thrown into the trash can.
Lisheng, don't you know how ridiculous you are? "
