Fatty Ding Square is in Monterey Park, located in the west of San Luodu City.
It is the first stop for many Chinese arriving in the United States.
As for the name Fatty Ding, it comes from a Chinese boss named Ding.
At first, Boss Ding just opened a travel agency in the square to handle air tickets and visas for Chinese people going to the United States.
Later in the 1980s, business was getting better and better. Boss Ding bought many shops and built Fatty Ding Square into a small commercial center.
Boss Ding's business is very big, and it has also attracted many other Chinese businessmen to open restaurants, supermarkets, barber shops, gold shops, pharmacies, etc. here.
Eventually a prosperous Chinese business district was formed.
When it was most prosperous, hundreds of buses brought Chinese people here every day to spend money.
But it was another group of people who really made Fatty Ding Square popular.
Some Chinese who cannot get visas use various channels to sneak into the United States.
Before coming, they had seen promotions on the Chinese Internet about one-dollar fried chicken, buying a villa to live in for free, etc.
After they finally landed in the United States, they discovered that as stowaways, it was difficult to be accommodated by the American hierarchy, so they had to come to Fatty Ding Plaza to find work.
That is, illegal work.
The predecessor of Cheng Daqi once washed dishes in a Chinese restaurant. Because he worked slower than Lao Mo, his salary was deducted every day by the boss.
Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer and ended up living on the street.
"Does it look shabby in here?"
Lisa turned the steering wheel and asked Cheng Daqi in confusion.
“Glossy restaurants are all uniformly neat, but delicious restaurants have their own characteristics, trust me.”
It was also Cheng Daqi's first time here, but he had heard friends talking about Chinese restaurants in the United States in his previous life.
In the United States, if you don't speak Chinese, then Chinese restaurants will most likely only serve you modified Chinese food.
But if you speak Chinese, you can unlock the hidden menu.
The specific dishes will depend on where the chef in the kitchen comes from.
But no matter which Chinese restaurant you choose, as long as you hire a serious Chinese cook, you can cook a table of pretty good Sichuan cuisine.
"The signs on the roadside are all in Chinese, so this is Chinatown."
Lisa felt a little strange. She had only seen Chinatown from TV series.
Several major cities in the United States have highly concentrated Chinese gathering areas.
Their history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, when Chinatown was mainly composed of Chinese railway workers.
Today, after more than a hundred years of development, the Chinese railway workers have been passed down to seven or eight generations.
With the influx of a new generation of Chinese immigrants, Chinatown has grown in size.
Of course, Fatty Ding Square is at best a Little Chinatown, and it is also known as Little Taipei.
"This place was first built by Taiwanese. The Chinese call it Little Taipei. It can be regarded as Chinatown."
Cheng Daqi looked at the Chinese signs around him, and he planned to find an agency that provided immigration consultation.
It is really difficult to live in the United States without a legal identity.
"Chan, I don't know these Chinese words, which one is Fatty Ding's noodle restaurant?"
Lisa was troubled by the navigation on her phone, unable to find the restaurant she had chosen.
Looking speechlessly at a restaurant with a big sign of 'Chongqing Local Cuisine' and a small sign of 'Fat Ding Noodle House', Cheng Daqi answered.
"That's it, let's eat first. Is there a bank near here?"
The $1,000 US knife has not been settled yet.
I always feel like I'm having trouble if I can't get the money.
Eating doesn't taste good either.
"Ha, Chan, do you still want to mention the fact that you cheated me when you are having dinner with a beautiful woman?"
Pushing open the door of the restaurant, Lisa complained about Cheng Daqi without looking back.
"No, we are obviously happy to cooperate, how can you slander me?"
Taking the menu from the waiter, Cheng Daqi scanned it briefly, focusing on a variety of dishes.
He directly stated the name of the dish in Chinese.
"Mapo tofu, pickled fish, boiled beef, spicy chicken, and let the chef make two non-spicy stir-fry dishes. Finally, let's have rice wine glutinous rice balls, white fungus soup, and two servings of rice. Can we make all the dishes?" "
Fatty Ding Noodle House can be called Chongqing Beibang Cuisine, so it’s no problem to let Chongqing Beibang Cuisine make Sichuan cuisine.
"Of course, sir, our master chef specializes in Sichuan cuisine."
Chongqing cuisine was severely NTR.
"Chan, what did you say?"
Not understanding Chinese, Lisa had no idea what Cheng Daqi said.
After pouring Lisa a cup of oolong tea, Cheng Daqi sighed.
"I said, this is the first time in my life that I have brought a girl to a restaurant to eat. Let them cook it well. I must make you feel the deliciousness of Chinese food."
Lisa was deeply shocked by Cheng Daqi's shameless answer.
There was sullenness in her tone, and she stared at Cheng Daqi dissatisfied.
"You must have lied to girls a lot, bad boy."
Cheng Daqi looked innocent.
"You are the first one in my life. I have never eaten in a restaurant with a girl before you."
I couldn’t count it in my previous life, but this is really the first time in my life.
The main focus is sincerity.
"Come on, I don't believe you haven't dated other girls?"
Lisa studied Cheng Daqi's expression as if observing a criminal suspect.
She decided that Cheng Daqi was lying to herself.
"Lisa, I'm sorry, are you saying we are dating?"
Grasp the details and pursue the victory.
But he had no intention of getting to know Lisa in depth.
"I've never dated a girl. Do you need me to treat you to this meal?"
Just tell me it's not a date and let me happily have sex for free.
Lisa, please make sure you set some boundaries with me!
please!
"Haha, you have a beautiful idea. I originally planned to invite you, but now I have decided to do it! I won't let you, a bastard who likes to deceive girls, fool you."
Smashed.
Chengdaqi, you messed up.
Pick up oolong tea and drink water tactically.
Suffering a loss is a blessing, not to mention AA is not a disadvantage.
But I didn’t take advantage of it, which is even worse than suffering a loss!
Cheng Daqi decided to fight back.
You must regret it severely!
"I would like to thank you today. Logically speaking, it is not difficult for me to be your security guard. I only planned to ask for two hundred at first.
I didn’t expect you guys to not counteroffer. Lisa, you are really a good partner. "
Cheng Daqi watched helplessly, watching Lisa's neck change color.
Listening to Daqi's "Thank you", it changes from milky white to red little by little.
Red, red.
Although prostitution turned into AA for free, I didn’t lose money this time.
Lisa picked up the phone fiercely.
No, the female employee who forced her to make a choice must be told to get out.
Later she would eat harder, at least more than half of it.
Cheng Daqi cannot be allowed to taste any sweetness again!
