There was more than just one street, but a special name for an area. Almost every city in the United States had a Chinese street, and the most famous Chinese street in New York was located at the southern end of Manhattan.
By the time the taxi arrived at Chinatown, it was already dark.
However, it didn't affect him much. The street was brightly lit, as if it was daytime, as if it was a city that never slept.
"Charlotte, where are you taking me to eat? Aren't all these restaurants?”
Sky moved her long legs that were tightly wrapped in jeans and followed beside Xia Luo. Her pair of lively eyes kept spinning as she looked at the shop by the roadside and said anxiously,"On the way here, we've already missed a few hotpot restaurants."
Sky smelled the fragrance coming out of the shop and kept swallowing his saliva. His soul was about to be hooked.
"Those restaurants don't taste authentic. They're all for foreigners who can't be fooled."
As Charlotte continued to lead the way, she said to Sky,""This time, I'll take you to eat authentic hotpot. I go there often. I guarantee that you'll even eat your tongue.
Look, we're here."
Xia Luo led Sky around a corner, and a simple and unadorned restaurant appeared in front of them.
The Grand White Restaurant was not very eye-catching in China Street. It was located in a rather remote location and did not occupy a large area. It only had two floors and the entire restaurant was made of wood. It was like a real ancient restaurant.
"This…"
Sky turned around and looked at the surrounding shops and restaurants, then looked at Taibai Restaurant. He said hesitantly,"Charlotte, this restaurant is so small. Are you sure it's really delicious here?”
" You don't understand. This is the authentic, the true oriental style."
Charlotte stretched out her finger and shook it, saying confidently,""And don't look at it just because it's small and remote, but the business is very hot. It's not just hot pot. People who really understand Chinese culture will come here specially to eat Chinese dishes.
Let's go in quickly. What if there are no seats?"
Charlotte took Sky's hand and hurried in.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a simple and unadorned wind. The restaurant was playing a peaceful and gentle zither music. The faint fragrance of wine filled the air, seducing people's hearts.
"Wow, it looks really good!”
Sky kept sizing up this ancient-looking restaurant. From time to time, he would reach out to touch the quaint wooden table and chairs at the side, his face full of curiosity.
"Of course, I accidentally discovered this place."
"I'm the first customer here," said Charlotte proudly."I'm a super VIP!”
"Hey, isn't this little Charlot?"
As Xia Luo was speaking, a refined voice sounded. A middle-aged man dressed in an ancient scholar's robe walked over and looked at Xia Luo."You haven't been here for a long time, right? Why are you free to come to my place today?"
"Uncle Li, aren't you busy recently?"
"It's rare for me to be free today. My friend wants to eat hotpot, so I brought her here to try the dishes here."
This is Sky, he's staying at my house now."
Charlotte pointed at Sky, who was standing next to her with a confused look on his face. She then turned around and introduced Sky,""Sky, this is Uncle Li, the owner of Taibai Restaurant. He claims to be Li Bai's descendant, although I don't know if it's true."
"Hello, Sky."
Uncle Li politely stretched out his hand and said,"Since you are a friend of Xia Luo, you are naturally a distinguished guest."
"Hello!"
Sky, who was in a daze, subconsciously reached out to shake hands with the other party. He suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at Charlotte in shock."What were you talking about just now? Xia Luo, you can speak Chinese?"
Sky didn't understand a single word of the conversation between Xia Luo and Uncle Li!
"What's wrong? Is it strange? Although I usually use English, Chinese is my mother tongue."
Xia Luo was also stunned and asked hesitantly,""Sky, don't you speak Chinese?”
"Yes, I know a little."
Sky said guiltily.
She had tried to learn Chinese, but it was too difficult. Who knew that she could even type hacker code, but she could not master Chinese. It was too profound.
" Oh, then I'll teach you if there's a chance in the future. You should be able to learn quickly since you have the foundation."
Charlotte didn't think much of it, thinking that Sky just didn't have time to study.
"Charlotte, what do you want to eat today?”
Uncle Li asked.
"Slightly spicy hotpot with side dishes."
Charlotte turned to look at Sky and thought for a moment.""Give me a serving of all the side dishes and a few side dishes. I don't need wine. I still have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."
"Charlotte, are you rich?"
Sky's face was filled with shock. He wondered if he had heard wrongly. It would probably cost a lot to order all the side dishes.
Uncle Li, who was beside him, was also a little surprised. This kid had never been so generous except when others treated him.
"Yes, I made a fortune today. Let's celebrate."
Charlotte smiled mysteriously. Just now, his phone showed that he had received 110,000 dollars. It was obviously Fury and Hawkeye who had agreed to transfer the money.
"Then I'll take you to the private room on the second floor first.”
Uncle Li turned around and led the way, followed by Charlotte and Sky.
"Yes, it's still the same room in Tianshan House."
With that, Charlotte looked around curiously and asked,""Uncle Li, what's wrong today? No business?”
The seats that were usually packed were now empty.
"Charlotte, didn't you see the news? There's an alien invasion in Manhattan today, it's a mess outside."
Uncle Li looked back at Xia Luo strangely and said with emotion,""This world is too crazy. Now, even aliens have appeared. Although it didn't affect Chinatown, business has been affected.
Charlotte, you're only the third guest tonight.
Oh, speaking of guests, your friend, the lawyer named Matthew, just finished eating with his friend and left."
"Matthew just left?"
Xia Luo was stunned and suddenly said with a face full of pity,""Oh, what a pity! If Matthew was here, I could ask him to treat us."
Matthew was an online friend that Xia Luo had met online. He was a blind lawyer and was a good person. Xia Luo had a good chat with him, so she asked him out to meet.
At that time, he had eaten here, which made him fascinated by the food here. He even came here more frequently than Charlotte.
Speaking of which, Matthew's house was not far from Chinatown. It was in the famous Hell's Kitchen nearby.
However, Charlotte found it strange. How could a blind lawyer survive in a place like Hell's Kitchen? Wasn't he afraid of being troubled by gangsters or gangs? Hell's Kitchen was famous for being chaotic!
