I stayed at home with Lao Li for a few days. Of course, this is no longer a nest for Huskies. After all, Lao Li is a restless person. He has to clean the house every morning and drag Huskies out for a walk in the afternoon. Let's go, and by the way, I bought some clothes and pants for her in some nearby stores. After dinner in the evening, I will go to a small park below for a walk.But Lao Li is completely unaccustomed to such a life.

"Let's go somewhere to play." Lao Li said after staying in New York for three or four days, "Then your mother can't come to New York with great difficulty and just stay in your dormitory. You type articles every day, so your mother Looking at you typing an article, then this is unreasonable."

Nest in the dormitory?Huskies thought about it. There are still 15 days before Lao Li returns to China. On the penultimate day, he has arranged to go shopping near Times Square. Because Lao Li wants to buy a bag, he also needs to buy a better one. Send it to Mr. Liu.Then six days later, they made an appointment with the doctor who Lao Li mentioned last time that he had his own laboratory in a hospital.

Although New York is a city with many attractions to visit, the problem is that Lao Li has been to them all.So, if that's the case, how about we go to Flushing?

"Then let's go to Flushing tomorrow?" Husky looked up at Lao Li from his computer, "It's just a matter of time to buy some food there."

"Okay." Lao Li readily agreed, "Isn't that the Chinatown you mentioned? That's fine. Let's go there now, and then before I leave, I will make you a pot of braised pork. In the refrigerator, you can eat slowly."

If it's braised pork, why don't I make it myself?Husky asked inwardly.Lao Li's cooking skills, well, I can only say that Lao Li, who is the third eldest, has two older sisters, and may not have many opportunities to upgrade his cooking skills in his life.

However, Husky sighed softly, let her cook it because of his mother's heart.

"Oh, that's right." Lao Li stood up from the chair and walked out of the room door. After a while, she came back with a small bag of things, "Didn't you ask me how to make Jiuniang? This time When your second aunt and I went back to our hometown, the sweet wine koji I bought for you was used to make fermented rice. Tomorrow we will go buy some glutinous rice and come back and I will teach you how to make fermented glutinous rice. You are a student, and you will learn this kind of thing very quickly."

Wine?Husky felt a little hungry again, that is to say, in the future, she could finally not use the smelly fermented rice in the supermarket that would suffocate people to death?

At 10:30 the next morning, Husky took Lao Li out with an empty suitcase.It was almost 12 o'clock when I took the subway and walked slowly to Flushing.

"What do you want to eat?" After leaving the subway station, the husky asked while standing on the street.

"It feels like I'm back in China." Lao Li looked around at the shops filled with Chinese characters, "Whatever, you brought your mother here, you decide."

Don't play like this... Husky thought in his heart. "Then why don't you go eat spicy pot?" Husky suggested.

So the two of them went down to the first floor of the shopping mall and queued up to order food.For spicy hot pot, meat dishes are calculated by the pound, and vegetarian dishes are guaranteed to have the same weight as meat dishes.Husky ordered mutton, beef and a fish tofu, Lao Li said enough, the vegetarian ordered frozen tofu, fried tofu and enoki mushroom.It's less than 15 yuan for two people. For less than 15 yuan, the store sent a bowl of white rice, and if you want a second bowl, you will have to pay more.Holding the bowl, Lao Li took two pairs of chopsticks, found a place to sit down, poured a few mouthfuls on the rice lid, and pushed the rest to Husky.

"You take some more." Husky said.

"No, no, you eat." Lao Li opened his chopsticks and picked up fried tofu, "Your mother can't eat much, and your mother can eat this kind of thing when she goes home. You eat more, eat more meat, mom I know you like to eat."

Husky let out an oh and buried himself in his meal.

Although they asked for a less spicy meal, Husky and Lao Li were still sweating profusely. Lao Li still ate slowly with only a few mouthfuls of rice.After a few minutes, Lao Li stood up with his wallet in hand, "Eat, mom, go buy some water."

"Let me give you the card." Husky put down his chopsticks and went to his schoolbag to touch his wallet.

"No, no need." Lao Li shook his head, "Mom is rich, I know you are good, so go ahead and eat."

When Lao Li went to buy water, Husky didn't dare to eat more, but slowly picked up enoki mushrooms and frozen tofu. After all, it was lunch for two people, and Husky didn't dare to kill Lao Li's share.

Lao Li came back more than ten minutes later, holding a large box of soy milk in his hand. "Your soy milk is really not expensive," Lao Li said as he picked up his chopsticks and pushed the soy milk in front of the husky. It’s not spicy. Come, come.” Lao Li directly picked up a large chopstick and put it in the husky’s bowl, not knowing whether it was beef or mutton. “Drink some soy milk, this soy milk is very strong.”

Husky looked at the pile of meat slices in the bowl, his throat stuck a little.Lao Li picked up some Flammulina velutipes and finished the last bite of the meal, "Okay, mom is full, eat the rest yourself, don't waste it."

Husky looked at the remaining one-third of the dishes, feeling a little overwhelmed.After scooping up the last bit of minced garlic, Husky put down his chopsticks and took a big gulp of soy milk, which relieved the spicy taste in his mouth.

"We're going to the shopping mall above in a while, aren't we?" Lao Li asked.

Husky nodded, she cleared the table, threw the garbage into the trash can and put the big wooden bowl of Mala Xiangguo on it.

"I just took a look." When the husky took the elevator to the supermarket and walked towards the fresh food area with Lao Li, Lao Li said softly, "Your meat is really not expensive, take a look , your pork ribs cost less than ten yuan, Shenzhen now costs more than ten or twenty yuan, look at your beef brisket, alas, eating meat in the United States is really not expensive."

Huskies nodded quickly, um, it’s not expensive, that’s why there are so many carnivores in the United States.

"Your pork belly is also very good." Lao Li nodded while talking, she ordered a piece, bought a little minced meat, and took two plastic bags from the place selling vegetables next to her, "Let me tell you, When you buy pork ribs in the future, won’t they cut them up for you? You can pack them separately. Cook them once and take them once, so that they don’t have to stick together like you do, and it’s hard to dissolve when you thaw.”

Husky hummed and learned a lesson.

"Also, it's the same with your minced meat. Don't freeze all the pieces in the refrigerator, but pack them in plastic wrap several times. Every time you stir-fry or make soup, use them piece by piece. These things When you get married and have a baby in the future, you need to understand everything. This is all my mother’s life experience. You can read better than me, but my mother still wants to teach you these things, you know.”

Husky continued to nod.The two walked slowly towards the freezer again, looking at the dumpling wrappers on the side, Lao Li said suddenly, "By the way, mom will make you some egg dumplings before you leave, and you will store them in the refrigerator. Just boil it when it’s time, or you can leave it in the soup.”

Egg dumplings?Husky didn't realize it for a while, why did he seem to have eaten it.

After visiting the frozen section, neither of them had anything to buy, so they walked towards the vegetables again, because it was in a Chinese supermarket, and every vegetable was written in Chinese under the name, and finally avoided Huskies and Lao Li staring at each other. A familiar vegetable but not sure if it is the one I know.

After finally meeting the familiar Shanghai Qing, Lao Li said that he wanted to buy some cabbage, which was cheaper than American supermarkets, and green beans were also cheaper, so he also wanted to buy them.Oh, and potatoes...

Husky quickly dispelled Lao Li's idea of ​​buying potatoes. Just kidding, a potato is not much cheaper, but it is not worth it to have to take it back so far.

"Do you want to eat tomatoes or not? Let's go back and make scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Lao Li said and took some more tomatoes.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?Husky thought for a while, "Why don't we make sugar mix."

"Candy mix?" Old Li looked at Husky, "Then I don't know how to do it."

"Okay," Husky nodded, "I will, I'll go back and cook."

After picking up a lot of vegetables, Lao Li went to look at the fruits again. This one is more expensive than in China. If you don’t buy it, that husky doesn’t like it. Bananas and apples are really boring and I really don’t want to eat them. "This kiwi fruit is cheap." Lao Li said and started to take kiwi fruit, "The kiwi fruit below our house is sold separately. You who are a student must know this, how nutritious it is. And what I told you about you Those cherries, we are not willing to eat them in China.”

My student needs to know the nutrition of each fruit?Seeing Lao Li picking up the kiwi fruit, Huskies felt very puzzled, this belongs to the Department of Biochemistry?

I bought some more in various ways, and when the bill was settled, Lao Li smacked his lips again, "It's still cheap for you to buy things here." Husky pushed the trolley aside and began to put the things in the trolley into the suitcase, "I bought it." Then a bunch of meat, fruits and vegetables cost more than 50 yuan. Of course, we can’t calculate the exchange rate, but you say that if you earn and spend US dollars, what can you buy with more than 50 yuan in China. "

"Hey, Lao Li." Husky glanced at Lao Li, "How much is the average income of the American people? Our professors earn only 7 to 8 a year, so compare it with China. Back then, think about it, high school That school is pretty good. The average salary of the teachers is only 6 to 7 yuan. After deducting the tax, the salary may be 20 to 50 yuan. Then your school, Mommy and the others, earn more than 200 yuan a year. If you multiply the [-] yuan by four, you can buy a lot in the supermarket for [-] yuan.”

"Then you can't say that." Lao Li put the cart back where it was, and the husky stood up with the suitcase and walked towards the subway, "Then Shenzhen is a first-tier city in China, and the salary is incomparable."

"Then co-authoring New York is not a first-tier city in the United States?" Husky asked rhetorically.

"Don't talk about it," Lao Li waved his hand, "Anyway, if you can, you should stay in the United States as much as possible. China's economy is so poor now, and houses are expensive. Many college graduates can't find jobs."

So, what's the matter?If you can't find a job in China, you can find a job when you come out of the United States?Husky shook her head. Anyway, she thinks that gold can shine everywhere, and talents are needed no matter which country they are in.

"And ah, let me tell you." Walking into the subway station, Lao Li looked at the people around him and lowered his voice, "You are my daughter, how can I not understand you, your personality is not suitable for China. Chinese people The sophistication of the world is not suitable for you. It is better to stay in the United States for a fool like you. "

This is true, Husky nodded. Americans do have one gut, especially their group of science students. However, it seems that the group of business students she came into contact with also spoke with a twist.So, um, she should just hang out in the science department honestly. It is much easier to study unknown things than to guess other people's minds.
