Los Angeles, Chinatown, Rongfutang, a Chinese restaurant known as a "time-honored" restaurant.
Orange chicken, sweet and sour pork belly, sesame chicken, General Tso's chicken.
Four plates of chicken, no, three plates of chicken and one plate of pig. They are all sweet, and each one is sweet in a very different way, which is amazing.
Of course, the important thing is that it really didn't suit the taste of the girls. Even Liu Qingyan, the least picky eater, put down Kuai Zi after taking two bites.
Several people faced a table of dishes. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they looked at each other, and then their eyes focused on Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng grinned and said speechlessly, "Is it really necessary for me to co-author it?"
"You said it yourself." Shen Ying rolled her eyes and chuckled, "And do you have the heart to let us eat this kind of thing?"
After Shen Ying finished laughing, she pointed at the sweet mapo tofu in front of her, looking pitiful and crying secretly, which made Zhang Weili, who was also a woman, unable to help but feel protective.
"I can't bear it! I can't bear it!"
Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly and could only stretch out his hand to call the waiter, "Call your manager."
A Latina girl came over, understood what Lu Zheng said, hurriedly ran to the front desk, and called a middle-aged Chinese man.
"Hello sir, what are your orders?" The middle-aged man stood up and came over, greeting him in Mandarin with a Minnan accent.
Lu Zheng said, "Hello, we are traveling from China. We are really not used to your Chinese food with the flavor of the lighthouse country."
"So we are compatriots from China." The middle-aged man greeted politely, and then said a little embarrassedly, "It's just that the chef in our kitchen is no longer very good at cooking domestic dishes..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Zheng waved his hand, "So can I borrow your kitchen? We'll pay for the food."
"ah?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but be startled. He had seen people borrowing the toilet, but he had never seen anyone borrowing the kitchen.
"You can watch from the side. I won't mess around. I'm also a chef." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"That's...ok."
The middle-aged man was the owner of this store, so he could make the decision, so he thought about it for a moment and agreed. It was not a big deal anyway.
"Follow me." The middle-aged man extended his hand to give a hint, and then reminded, "But the seasonings in the kitchen may not be as complete as those in domestic restaurants."
"It doesn't matter, it's useful for whatever it is." Lu Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's a small matter."
The middle-aged man took Lu Zheng to the back kitchen, spoke to the chef, the assistant cook, and others, and cleared a stove for Lu Zheng. Then he left the Latino waiter behind to help, and then returned to the restaurant lobby.
In addition to helping, the Latino waiter also wanted to spy on Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng didn't care either. It was a good thing for the boss to be careful. What if he met a bad guy and planted some information in the raw materials to frame him?
Therefore, it would be good if they could allow him to use the kitchen, and Lu Zheng seriously suspected that this was a bonus brought by the fact that his tablemates were all beautiful women.
So Lu Zheng, under the suspicious eyes of the chefs in the back kitchen, reached out to hold the kitchen knife, then looked around, curled up the corner of his mouth, and let out a confident laugh.
"Jiejiejiejie..."
…
Not to mention that Lu Zheng was busy in the kitchen, the only people in the lobby were women, so naturally they could talk about topics that only women could listen to.
And this topic naturally continues the topic that Liu Qingyan and Zhao Xiaodao just talked about.
"Um, Sister Qingyan..." the assistant said, "Look at me, um..."
Liu Qingyan glanced at the gentle slope where the assistant was not much older than Zhao Xiaodao, and couldn't help but curiously asked Zhao Xiaodao, "When you recruit assistants, you don't just recruit people who are similar to you, right?"
Liu Qingyan had seen the video of Lu Zheng and his group in Africa. It looked like one of Zhao Xiaodao's previous assistants was wearing a pair of a's.
Thinking of Sister Jing, the assistant couldn't help but cast suspicious eyes on Zhao Xiaodao, but Zhao Xiaodao immediately denied it seriously.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
"Hahaha, I think so!" Zhang Weili nodded in agreement, while the assistant looked a little sad and angry.
Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan laughed and teased Zhao Xiaodao. Even Si Lingxi looked at Zhao Xiaodao and then at the assistant, with a hint of laughter on her face.
Just when a few people were joking, there was a sudden noise outside. The noise grew from small to loud and got closer and closer. It was also mixed with a lot of exclamations, crying, and even... gunshots!
"boom!"
When the gunfire rang out, Lin Wan suddenly turned around, "What's going on?"
"No! There's a big fuss!" The boss's face changed. When he came to the door of the store to take a look, he stepped back in panic.
At the same time, several tables of guests who were dining in the restaurant got up, threw some money on the table, and hurried out.
"What's going on?" Zhang Weili grabbed the boss.
"Because of what happened a few days ago, those people are making trouble again!" The boss said in a panic. "They are going to start smashing and looting again, and I heard that there are many people marching in Los Angeles. If this trouble starts, I'm afraid There’s going to be big trouble!”
As the boss finished speaking, several people looked through the window of the restaurant and saw many people rushing towards the street. Although most of them were old blacks, there were also Latinos, whites, and even Indians and Asians.
"They protested against the white policeman's shooting of the old black man, but they came to destroy Chinatown?" Zhao Xiaodao felt that his views were shattered.
"This has been like this since 1992!" The boss muttered and was about to close the store.
However, his speed was still a step slower. A group of people had already rushed over. Several white people rushed into the convenience store opposite the restaurant. While grabbing items, they took out knives and warned the Chinese female shop owner not to move.
Several other gangsters rushed into the restaurant. One of them actually pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the boss. The other two ran into the front desk of the restaurant decisively, smashed the cash register at the front desk, took out the banknotes and put them in their pockets.
The boss raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, turned his head and gestured to the front desk, "The money in the restaurant is there, just take it, but please don't hurt the people here, and don't destroy things in the store, please!"
Zhang Weili stared closely at the gunman, her palms were sweating, and while she was about to get up, she glanced towards the kitchen from the corner of her eyes.
Shen Ying looked at the old black men in front of her, and at the convenience store across the street, she turned back and asked Lin Wan, "Aren't you going to take action?"
Lin Wan frowned and hesitated, "All stores have insurance. If the loss is not big, we will not take action. Otherwise, these stores will suffer retaliation afterwards, and we will not be able to protect them all the time in the future."
At this moment, a Chinese girl in the utility room of the convenience store across the street was dragged out by her hair, thrown to the ground, and kicked several times by those people, while several people in the restaurant robbed her of money. Lao Hei saw Lin Wan's table, his eyes lit up, he formed a circle, and slowly approached with a lewd smile on his face.
Lin Wan's face darkened, Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed, and Si Lingxi's spiritual thoughts flickered, and she saw that there were thousands of situations like this scene within hundreds of miles, and they were all... There were nearly 10,000 thugs who caused trouble, smashed cars, set fires, raped and looted.
So, before Zhang Weili and Lin Wan burst into flames, and Liu Qingyan performed the tricks, Si Lingxi blinked slightly.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
