Zhu Yu bought some vegetables, meat and spices from the supermarket.
Aunt Susan saw Zhu Yu and said hello with a smile.
Zhu Yu said:
"I bought some vegetables and meat. Can I use your kitchen to cook a meal?"
"No problem!" Aunt Susan was very curious after hearing this, "I have long heard that Chinese food is very unique, and I can just experience it."
Zhu Yu smiled, went in, washed his hands, and started to pack up.
The fish here in the United States are basically sea fish, and there are no freshwater fish with many spines.
Zhu Yu made scrambled eggs with green pepper, boiled fish fillets, twice-cooked pork, and then steamed a pot of rice.
After it was done, a tray was prepared for Susan to serve various dishes.
Before knocking on the door, he heard the voices of two people inside. When he opened the door, Zhu Yu saw a beautiful girl with freckles on her face looking at him curiously.
"Are you Linda? I am Zhu Yu, your mother's tenant. This is the dish I made. Please try it."
Linda had naturally heard of Zhu Yu's name, but after taking a look at Zhu Yu, her attention was focused on the fragrant dishes, and she asked in surprise:
"Did you do this?"
"Yes."
Zhu Yu was already hungry and didn't want to talk more. After bringing the food in, he turned around and left.
"How's it going? I think this Zhu is pretty good, right?" Susan said proudly: "It's incredible to be able to make such delicious food!"
Linda couldn't laugh or cry.
My mother's theory is really metaphysical.
But this dish tastes really good!
The mother and daughter tasted it carefully while praising Zhu Yu's craftsmanship.
Zhu Yu was video chatting with Joanna while eating.
Joanna heard that Zhu Yu had given a copy to the landlord, who also had a daughter, and she was immediately unhappy:
"When I come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you must make one for me! It's exactly the same!"
Zhu Yu secretly smiled, it seems that girls all over the world are exactly the same when they are jealous.
He nodded vigorously, looking serious:
"No problem, I'll make you a double portion, and I'll add an extra dish!"
"Okay, it's settled!" Joanna was really a good addition, and her mood improved.
The two chatted for a while, Joanna reluctantly hung up the video, and her mother called her.
Zhu Yu put down his cell phone and had just taken two bites when his cell phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was Meng Xiaofan's.
Zhu Yu was a little strange, what was this girl doing on the phone?
After picking up, Meng Xiaofan said hello politely, and then said:
"The day after tomorrow, there will be an auction of raw jade stones in the Chinese District. Do you want to participate?"
Zhu Yu was ecstatic at first, he must participate in this thing!
But then he felt something was wrong and asked Meng Xiaofan:
"Isn't that jade thing only for us Chinese to play with? The Americans don't recognize it. Who is so... dragging it here to auction it?"
Meng Xiaofan said:
"The person who asked me to find target customers is my dad's friend. He is from Wanwan.
You know, there are two famous women who we Chinese like jade the most..."
"I know." Zhu Yu naturally knew and said with a smile, "One is an old witch from the late Qing Dynasty, and the other is the wife of Chang Kaishen from the Republic of China!"
Hearing Zhu Yu say the words "Chang Kaishen", Meng Xiaofan, who understood the joke, couldn't help but laugh, and then continued:
"Didn't my wife live here in her later years, so my dad's friend thought that some Chinese women here should like jade.
I brought a group over and opened a store here. It ended up sitting there for several years without being sold.
The economy has been in recession for the past two years, and he has been unable to turn around his funds, so he plans to auction off a batch of rough stones to collect funds and then go back. "
Knowing the whole story, Zhu Yu asked clearly about the time and place, and happily agreed to go.
Meng Xiaofan was too embarrassed to hang up directly, so he asked Zhu Yu what he was doing. Zhu Yu smiled and said that he finally found time to cook a hometown meal, fried some home-cooked dishes, and was eating.
Meng Xiaofan even hung up the phone in embarrassment.
She was curious, could Zhu Yu cook Chinese food?
It’s been so long since I’ve been out, but I still haven’t had a good, serious home-cooked meal!
Meng Xiaofan couldn't help but swallowed when he thought about the meals he had cooked at home.
Neither she nor Song Yan cook at home, they don’t know how to cook!
Song Yan saw Meng Xiaofan not saying anything after hanging up the phone, so she asked:
"What's wrong? He doesn't agree? Is he afraid of revealing his secret?"
Meng Xiaofan woke up, shook his head and said:
"He agreed."
"and you……"
Meng Xiaofan's tone was a little low:
"I...I miss home, I want to eat the food cooked by my mother..."
Song Yan was stunned for a moment, then gently hugged Meng Xiaofan and said:
"Tomorrow let's go to the Chinese district. I remember there is a very authentic Hu Ji restaurant. I'll treat you to it."
Meng Xiaofan shook his head and said nothing.
Zhu Yu didn't know that his casual words had deeply touched Meng Xiaofan. At this moment, he was full and suddenly didn't want to move.
So satisfied!
Old John called:
"There will be a warehouse auction nearby tomorrow, are you going to go? There are also some auctions in the container area, but they are from two small warehouses."
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"I'll go to the warehouse sale."
Over there, Old John sent the address of the warehouse auction, and Zhu Yu wrote it down.
I originally planned to ask the mysterious Robert, but thought better of it.
Everyone has their own secrets, and professional fields also need to be kept secret, so don’t ask.
It would be troublesome to silence them.
After a while, Linda knocked on the door and came in, bringing some fruit to Zhu Yu.
After putting down the fruit, Linda did not leave, but asked curiously:
"I heard from my mother that you are a treasure hunter?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu said as he turned his pen, "I just joined the industry not long ago."
"Is it exciting?" Linda asked again, "I heard that people open a lot of valuable things from the containers every day."
Zhu Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"Actually, it's not what I imagined. After all, many warehouses are abandoned by their owners who can't pay the rent.
If there was a lot of valuable stuff inside, why would the owner abandon it?
Only a very small number of owners are unable to collect the containers due to various circumstances such as disappearance, bankruptcy or accident, so there is a possibility of leakage. "
In any industry that makes people suddenly rich, many people deliberately conceal more information and only spread those parts that they are willing to spread or that others are willing to listen to.
Just like betting on stones, the ones that rise are definitely much less than the ones that fall. But why are there so many more stories of people who get rich when they rise than those who fall?
Linda didn't expect Zhu Yu to say this and was a little surprised.
When young people, especially treasure hunters, hear beautiful women asking about the situation, don’t they always talk about their proud things?
This Zhu Huan is really special!
Watching Zhu Yu spin his pen, he asked curiously:
"Is this a talent of you Chinese people? There are Chinese students in our school who can do this, which is pretty cool."
Zhu Yuhehe.
He shook his head and said:
"This is just a game to kill time and stretch your fingers when you are bored, nothing more."
