Gan Guoyang made a surprise attack on Chen Yaoming. The day he first traveled through time, Chen Yaoming's face in the store was still fresh in his memory.
In front of Huang Shaohua, Chen Yaoming couldn't refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and give Gan's restaurant a 30% discount on the rent.
It can be seen that Chen Yaoming really likes basketball, otherwise he would not send Chen Xing to the basketball summer camp.
According to what Mr. Huang said, a banquet was held at Gan's Restaurant the next day, and the restaurant's business was on the right track.
Surprisingly, it was not Gan Guoyang who stole the show at the banquet, but the chef Gan Youwei.
Mr. Huang held a grand banquet and finally gave him a chance to show off his skills. The main dishes of eight-treasure gourd duck, pagoda meat, Wensi tofu, and yellow croaker in soup were all top-notch, and they kept the crowd calm for a long time. Chinese and a few Americans who have never seen authentic Chinese food.
It turns out that Chinese food is not just about the sweet and sour pork, cheap Yangzhou fried rice and various kinds of stir-fried offal. The serious cooking is really broad and profound.
After this battle, both Gan Youwei and Gan's Restaurant have gained a reputation, and there is no need to worry about business in the future.
On August 17th, high schools in California entered the opening season, and Gan Guoyang continued his high school career at Beiqiao Middle School in San Francisco.
Beiqiao Middle School is located on Sacramento Street in Chinatown. It is an overseas Chinese school founded in 1921. It has an elementary school, a junior high school and a high school. This year marks the 60th anniversary of its establishment.
The school has a very Chinese style in its architectural form. When you enter the gate, you are faced with an ancient two-story attic with white walls, green tiles and red columns. The five characters "Chinatown Fuyintang" are engraved on the wall, and the words "Beiqiao" are hung on the main door. School" plaque.
On the first day of school, Gan Guoyang became the star of the whole school. With his height, it was difficult not to attract attention.
Although Beiqiao Middle School is an overseas Chinese school, there are also students of other ethnic groups studying here. Some are Asians such as Vietnam, Mongolia, and Japan. There are also a small number of black students, and there are no white students.
When Gan Guoyang came to class, he didn't need to introduce himself. All his classmates and teachers knew him. For the first time, he experienced what it was like to be a celebrity.
The school's teaching content is bilingual in Chinese and English. One of the compulsory courses from primary school to high school is Chinese, which uses overseas Chinese teaching materials compiled by Jinan University.
After all, Gan Guoyang is a college student in 985. The senior high school courses in the United States are a bit unfamiliar to him, and there are some language barriers, but overall it is quite easy.
Everyone from the teachers to the principal were friendly to him. From time to time, students from other classes would come over to spy on him during get out of class, just like in some romantic idol dramas, girls go to other classes together to see the school idol.
When school was over, Gan Guoyang opened his locker and received several letters, one of which was sealed with a lip seal...
After the women's liberation movement in the 1960s and 1970s, by the 1980s girls had become quite proactive and open-minded. It was not uncommon for women to pursue men, and the same was true for Chinese girls.
However, Gan Guoyang had no interest in these little girls. He put the letter in his schoolbag and took it away, but never opened it.
He was only thinking about today's basketball team training.
Because land is at a premium in Chinatown, Beiqiao School only occupies a limited piece of land to build a school building, and there is no room for a gymnasium. Therefore, the basketball team trains and competes at the Chinatown YMCA Sports Center four blocks away.
The YMCA organization has a deep connection with basketball. Dr. Naismith invented basketball while serving at the YMCA in Springfield. Many early basketball games were organized by the YMCA.
This YMCA sports center in Chinatown has a long history. Although its facilities are a bit outdated, it is comprehensive and has a stadium, swimming pool, gym, and a martial arts dojo.
The Zhirou Boxing Club founded by Chen Weiming, a disciple of Sun Lutang, a martial arts master in the Republic of China, once had a San Francisco branch here. It is said that in the 1960s, they were involved in a private fight between Bruce Lee and Huang Zemin. The result of this mysterious competition is still unknown to this day. Controversial.
These are what Chen Xing told Gan Guoyang on the way to the sports center. Gan Guoyang just thought he heard some anecdotes. He was more concerned about who his teammates were and who the coach was.
By the way, Gan Guoyang already knows two teammates, namely Chen Xing and Gan Guohui.
Thinking of having these two people as teammates, Gan Guoyang couldn't help but worry about the team's future and record.
As for who the coach is, Chen Xing said he doesn't know. He may be the school's physical education teacher or physical education director.
When we arrived at the sports center, there were already many people gathered inside and outside the basketball court. They were all students from Beiqiao School who came to watch Gan Guoyang play.
They all wanted to see what level this San Francisco Chinese basketball star was and how much he weighed.
Gan Guoyang didn't have stage fright. He just warmed up. After changing into training clothes and going on the court, he started with a light dunk, which caused both boys and girls on the sidelines to scream.
In this era, live TV broadcasts and video recordings are not popular, and the Internet is not a thing. Many people can only watch games in person.
In a high school basketball team like this, if there is one person who can dunk, he is really one of the best stars.
Gan Guoyang's dunking posture is inherently stretchy and graceful, and his strong strength makes his dunking look both relaxed and powerful, giving him a leisurely and unhurried aesthetic.
Unlike some players who can jump high, but are stiff when dunking. They only know how to use two hands but cannot use one hand. Their posture is too monotonous, and they often have to pull the basket to maintain balance.
Several dunks came in a row, not only the student audience on the sidelines could not take their eyes away, but even his teammates did not warm up and vacated the venue for Gan Guoyang to perform.
Just when Gan Guoyang completed a self-throw and buckle, bringing the scene to a small climax, a sharp whistle broke the warm atmosphere.
"Everyone who has nothing to do with the basketball team, get out of here! Immediately, immediately, cover your butts and leave without looking back! Get out!"
With a loud shout of "Get out", the students immediately dispersed, and in an instant there were only eleven members of the basketball team left in the basketball hall.
Gan Guoyang noticed that the person who blew the whistle to drive people away was none other than Bobby Behrman.
"Coach Behrman, why are you here?"
"I came here to learn cooking from you, do you believe it?"
"Then you should go find my dad, he's good at this."
"Fuck you, what I'm good at is basketball. From today on, I'm Chinatown Beiqiao... Farke, what's the name of your basketball team? Who told me?"
One player shouted: "Clepsydra!"
"What? Clepsydra? What the hell does that mean?"
"Water Clock, which means water clock, is a traditional Chinese timing tool that symbolizes precision and punctuality. Water also represents flexibility and wisdom."
Bellman put his hands on his hips and muttered: "Why not call it a dragon or a panda or Tom Yum Kung or something like the water clock, clepsydra! What the hell is that word..."
Gan Guoyang said: "Mr. Bellman, Tom Yum Kung is Thai food, not Chinese food."
"Okay, I understand, don't talk about Chinese elements with me anymore. Water Clock, that's a good name! Precision and punctuality are what I abide by. Ladies, I guess it's time to train now."
"I'll give you 10 seconds to line up in front of me!"
