Chapter 0018 Liu Hanwu's embarrassment

The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history and the most proud of the Chinese people. Therefore, overseas Chinese and Chinese people often refer to themselves as Tang people.

Chinatown is also called Chinatown, Datang Street, and Chinatown.

Chinatowns were formed when the early Chinese immigrated overseas and became a minority and disadvantaged group in the local area. Facing the challenges of the new environment and needing to work together, they lived in groups in one area. Therefore, many Chinatowns around the world are a testimony to the history of overseas Chinese.

As soon as you walk into Chinatown, you will often have a confusing feeling of traveling through time and space, as if you have traveled from the United States to Greater China in an instant.

People coming and going speak Chinese, Beijing accent, Northeastern accent, Cantonese accent, Hunan accent, Sichuan accent, all the accents from all provinces and cities in the country. Listening to it makes people feel particularly friendly.

Look at the dazzling array of signboards. They may have different shapes, colors, or names. However, they must have one thing in common, and that is the square Chinese characters on them!

Of course, the biggest features of Chinatown are:

There are all kinds of Chinese supermarkets with a strong Chinese style, grocery stores, fish shops, butcher shops, chicken and duck shops, vegetable shops, cured meat shops, restaurants of major Chinese cuisines, specialty snack bars from all over China, and Chinese multinational groups.

branches, various Chinese clubs, Chinese service societies, Chinese-style gift shops, souvenir shops, antique shops, Chinese schools, etc., to name a few.

Oh, by the way, there are also traditional Chinese medicine stores and traditional Chinese medicine clinics.

However, what makes the Chinese people feel ashamed is that Chinese medicine, which has thousands of years of Chinese civilization and is regarded as the quintessence of the country by the Chinese people, is an evil heretic and a heretic in the eyes of most foreigners, especially Americans.

A lowly clown, or even a deceitful charlatan!

There have been several such incidents. Chinese people brought Chinese patent medicines into foreign countries. When going through customs security inspection, the foreign customs officers actually regarded the Chinese patent medicines as drugs!

It is indeed an indisputable fact that traditional Chinese medicine is in decline, completely defeated by Western medicine, and is in a difficult and embarrassing situation.

Besides, Chinatowns are very famous in the United States, such as San Francisco, New York, Washington, Chicago, and other international metropolises, and they also have the largest number of Chinese residents.

Reno's Chinatown is not that big, but although it is small, it has all the necessary features. You can basically find it here in Chinatowns in other places.

In the more than a year since Xu Xiaoyu came to Nevada, apart from school, the place he visited most was Chinatown. Seeing the familiar words, familiar voices, familiar faces, familiar shops, and familiar everything, he suddenly felt like going back to his country.

The feeling is very warm, and a warm current flows in my heart.

Liu Hanwu's Dahan Dumpling Restaurant is located on the second floor of a Chinese-style building, covering an area of ​​two to three hundred square meters.

Although the dumplings are the most delicious, they don't have many special features, so the business is not very popular, and of course it's not deserted either, so it's pretty average.

It was mid-morning, and there were not many people eating dumplings in the dumpling restaurant. Liu Hanwu, who was extremely enthusiastic, asked Xu Xiaoyu to sit down at the Eight Immortals table in a quiet corner.

"Liu Qi, a distinguished guest is here. I want a big bowl of the dumplings I made this morning!"

Liu Hanwu shouted at the counter.

"Hey Uncle Han, that kind of hinge, right? Come right away!"

A young man wearing a white coat answered.

"Xiaoyu, which sect of kung fu do you learn?"

While waiting for the dumplings, Liu Hanwu's eyes were blazing and he asked with great interest.

"Dragon sect." Xu Xiaoyu said with a chuckle.

"Dragon School?" Liu Hanwu was stunned: "Does our Chinese Kung Fu have such a school? Oh, you learn Dragon Fist!"

"No." Xu Xiaoyu shook his head.

"Then you dragon..." Liu Hanwu tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I understand, the dragon sect is not the Chinese style. All Chinese kung fu is from the Chinese style."

"That's right." Xu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Kung fu in the world leads to the same goal by different paths. Theory and practice are actually the same. The so-called factions are actually just self-defeating, or they are arrogant, which is not wrong."

"Xiaoyu, what you said makes sense, but it's a bit extreme." Liu Hanwu said with a smile: "Any school of kung fu has its own characteristics and excellence..."

Liu Hanwu talked non-stop. Although Xu Xiaoyu did not agree with many of his views, she did not refute him and just listened quietly.

When Liu Hanwu mentioned the excitement, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with even more enthusiasm: "Xiaoyu, there is our Chinese martial arts association here in Chinatown. Are you interested in going to see it later?"

"Let's forget about it."

Xu Xiaoyu shook his head and refused. He knew about this martial arts association when he first came to Nevada, and even went in to see it. To be honest, Xu Xiaoyu really didn't catch a cold, because the core and main members of the association are all veterans who practice traditional martial arts.

One generation.

Xu Xiaoyu has been practicing kung fu for more than ten years and has come into contact with many people in the martial arts world. He knows that these older generations of traditional martial arts are very stubborn. The most important thing is that their ideas are somewhat feudal and conservative, especially among them.

Some people even have a disdain for modern Kung Fu and Bruce Lee, who promoted Chinese Kung Fu to the world and wrote the English word "Kung Fu" into English dictionaries.

This is the reason why Xu Xiaoyu no longer wants to go to the martial arts association. He doesn't want to argue with the older generation, let alone conflict.

"Then let's go again when we have the chance." Although Liu Hanwu has a rough and heroic temperament, he has a very careful heart. He could see that Xu Xiaoyu really didn't want to go, so he didn't say anything more about the matter.

At this time, Liu Qi brought up the steaming dumplings and gently put them in front of Xu Xiaoyu. He said proudly: "Brother, this is the latest dumpling prepared by our Dahan Dumpling House. It tastes amazing."

Use one word to describe it - great! Use two words to describe it - great! Use three words to describe it - awesome!"

After saying that, Liu Qi gave a proud thumbs up.

"Haha..." Xu Xiaoyu was amused by the humorous Liu Qi and couldn't help laughing.

"Huang Po sells melons and boasts of herself! It's embarrassing to lose you." Liu Hanwu blushed and glared at Liu Qi: "Go and do your business!"

Liu Qi was dissatisfied: "Uncle Han, why am I bragging? Our dumplings are very, very delicious! This has been unanimously recognized by everyone... When you made them yesterday, you couldn't eat enough in one breath."

Ate fifty!"

"Get out!" Liu Hanwu's face turned even redder, and he raised his foot, somewhat dumbfounded, and kicked Liu Qi's butt.

Liu Qi quickly avoided Liu Hanwu's fat legs. Not only did he not roll away, but he became even more unconvinced. He said to Xu Xiaoyu depressedly: "Brother, try our dumplings and see if I, Liu Qi, am like Uncle Han said.

You are selling melons in Huangpo, selling yourself and boasting!"

"Smelling this fragrance, I know you are not bragging."

Xu Xiaoyu can also make dumplings, and can mix a variety of fillings, and they are all done well. The dumplings in this bowl now are very fragrant and very appetizing. As soon as Xu Xiaoyu smells them, he knows they are better than the ones he ate here before.

, both are delicious, but... there is a smell in it, why does it feel so familiar?

"Uncle Han, must you have heard this? Just by smelling it, this brother knew that I wasn't bragging!" After receiving Xu Xiaoyu's affirmation, Liu Qi became sullen.

Liu Hanwu's chubby face turned red to the root of his neck. He looked embarrassed and pushed Liu Qi in that direction: "Okay, okay, I made a mistake, okay, hurry up and go about your business."

, leave quickly."

"Don't worry, Uncle Han, my brother hasn't tasted it yet." Liu Qi refused to leave and said stubbornly: "I have to wait for him to taste it before I leave!"

"If you don't leave, I'll leave. This is going to be bad!" Liu Hanwu stamped his feet angrily, turned around and was about to leave.

"Uncle Han, don't be angry, I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Seeing that Liu Hanwu was angry, Liu Qi grabbed him. Although he was confused about Liu Hanwu's behavior, he wanted to see Xu Xiaoyu's reaction after tasting the dumplings.

He looked surprised and listened to his various words of praise that he couldn't help but...

Liu Qi said to Xu Xiaoyu with a wry smile: "Brother, please eat slowly, I'll be busy first."

"Thank you for your hard work, go and do your work." Xu Xiaoyu smiled at Liu Qi, picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He was also curious about why the taste was so familiar. He was obviously not thin-skinned.

Liu Hanwu was uncharacteristically embarrassed, shouting "get out" and trying to "leave" at the same time. Why?
