Driving out of Jason's horse farm, he turned onto the main road in a moment. When he was on the road, Ju An turned on the radio and tuned to the music channel. After a while, Wang Fan started to take action.
I searched for the radio station and after going around in a circle, I complained from the passenger seat: "Why do I turn it over so that there is only one kind of music? It's too monotonous."
Ju An chuckled twice and said: "It's basically country music, except for news. If you want to listen to something else, you can play my CDs. They are all brought from China, one is Zheng Zhihua, and the other is
Dick cowboy or something.”
After turning off the radio, Wang Fan opened the small CD bag that Ju An brought, took a CD and put it in, and the two of them started humming along with Dick Cowboy's song.
After arriving in Great Falls, after asking several police officers, Ju An found a Chinese supermarket. He found the place with a lot of twists and turns. As soon as Ju An parked the car, Wang Fan jumped out of the car and stretched out his arms.
Lazy waist.
"This place is really not small," Wang Fan looked around and said to Ju An.
Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and replied: "Don't talk about those useless things. Go in and search for things. After shopping, go back quickly. You will go home for lunch. What time will you get home for lunch?"
Wang Fan stared at Ju An with an exaggerated expression and said, "Damn, you can't be so cruel. I just ate two buns and drank a cup of coffee for breakfast. It's almost noon and I have to go home."
No matter what, it’s already three or four o’clock.”
Ju An smiled and said, "That's it. If you want to have lunch quickly, don't wait any longer. Let's go." After saying that, he pushed Wang Fan, and the two of them walked towards the door of the supermarket. When they reached the door, they pushed
After getting in the car, Ju An realized that this supermarket was indeed quite big. It was filled with a dazzling array of products, and half of the staff in the store were foreigners. It was very different from the Chinese supermarkets that Ju An met in San Francisco. The Chinese supermarket employees in San Francisco
They are all Chinese, but there are more foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes here.
Ju An and Wang Fan pushed the cart to the side of the fruit area. Ju An took a look and said, "Hey guys, I was originally thinking about going to China, but now it seems that I don't need to. All the domestic Red Fuji and Big Yali have clear origins as mentioned above."
The one says China, and below it is the province where each product is produced.
I looked at the sign for Red Fuji apples and it said 99 cents per pound, which is seven yuan per pound in RMB. One pound in the United States is equivalent to 0.9 pounds in China, so it is a little more expensive than the domestic price.
I took a few of each domestic fruit, weighed it, and put it in the shopping cart. Wang Fan looked at it for a while and said, "Why do I always see you getting domestic fruits? Get some foreign fruits too."
"You see, these kind of bright red foreign apples are very expensive in China, but they are much cheaper here." As he said this, he took the bag and put the kind of bright red apples in it. They are the kind that look very good, but taste delicious.
That's not flattering at all.
Seeing Wang Fan still stuffing it into the bag, Ju An said: "What are you doing with so much? Now everyone in the family except Wu Song doesn't eat this kind of fruit. If you can't finish it, wait until you leave."
I’ll take it away for you when you arrive. Of course, American apples are cheaper in the United States. Haven’t you seen that a pound of tofu here in the United States is almost ten yuan in RMB?”
Wang Fan looked at it and curled his lips: "I only took seven or eight." After saying that, he tied his pockets and went to the store clerk to weigh the weight. He put it in the shopping cart and pushed it a few steps away.
Wang Fan saw the American cantaloupe and said to Ju An: "This round cantaloupe is different from the image in our country, and maybe the taste is also different. Let's get one and try it back."
After Wang Fan finished speaking, he hugged one in the car. The weight of this thing had already been weighed. Ju An saw that it cost about five yuan per pound.
Ju An chose some domestic plums, the famous Shan Province jujubes, and longan grapes and put them into the cart. He walked aside and saw a place selling oranges. He looked at the price and found that the cheapest ones were California ones.
Oranges cost three pounds for one dollar, but Ju An smelled so bad, so he took Wang Fan and walked away. Wang Fan said gloomily: "Buy a few and try them. Maybe they are as smelly as those in our country."
Tofu smells bad but tastes delicious."
Ju An glanced at him and said: "Okay, then take a few, but don't put other things together. Carry them in your own hands. I'm afraid of contaminating other things. Don't go home then, everything will be dirty."
It smells like California oranges."
When Wang Fan heard what Ju An said, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, if I hold him in my arms and return to the ranch, I might make my brother smell bad."
Following Ju An and Wang Fan, they pushed the cart for a while. The cart was already full of things. Ju An looked at it and saw that there were still some things that he hadn't bought yet, so he found another cart. This time
One person per cart, following Ju An, he discovered something new. Ju An took a handful of domestically produced parsley, put it to his nose and smelled it. Well, the aroma reached straight to the heart and spleen. When he saw the price
Sure enough, food for Chinese people is much more expensive. One kilogram in RMB is almost 10 yuan, so I weighed the four or five handfuls of parsley and put them in the shopping cart.
Wang Fan said strangely: "Why did you buy so much celery? You can't eat so much. Don't let it spoil by then."
Ju An said casually: "It doesn't matter. Let's make celery dumplings for dinner tonight. I haven't eaten celery dumplings for so long since I've been here. When I see these things, I feel like grass has grown in my heart and I want to eat them to death."
"You are really a foodie, but when you mentioned celery dumplings, I thought a little bit, so let's go get some pork," Wang Fan said. He pushed the cart faster and faster.
The two of them arrived at the meat counter. Wang Fan saw the price of pork and said, "This pork is not cheap anywhere. Is it so difficult to raise a pig now? A pound here costs more than two dollars."
Ignoring Wang Fan's comments, he pointed to a piece of pork that looked almost fat and thin and said to the clerk: "Give me this piece of meat, and then help me grind it into mincemeat."
The young clerk was very nimble, and even asked Ju An: "Sir, are you Chinese? Do you want to put some onions or ginger in the meat filling? Generally, Chinese people will put some of these things when they buy it."
When Ju An heard this, he said, Damn, even though he is a foreign guy, he is such a professional. He didn’t even think of putting these in. He said thank you to the young man in the store, and then asked him to put some ginger and green onions in and twist them together.
It took a while to prepare, and they made more than ten pounds of minced meat. Ju An took the minced meat and put it on the shopping cart. Wang Fan said: "Damn, you kid is crazy. There are more than ten kilograms of minced meat.
How long do you want to eat?"
Ju An said: "Old Thomas and his friends, besides loving all kinds of soy products, they also love Chinese dumplings. Every time I make them, I will make them together, and they will be gone in three meals at most."
Wang Fan thought for a moment and nodded his head and said: "That's right. You are the only idler in your ranch. You can do the logistics work for everyone, and you can maximize your value. Don't let the Americans think that we, the Chinese, are all
You're a foodie, oh, it's bad, our image as a middle-aged man has been ruined by you. You don't work all day long, just wandering around. I'm giving you a whole bird cage and a mandarin jacket, and you look like a modern version of the Eight Banners disciples."
.
Ju An pointed at Wang Fan and cursed: "It's your uncle's."
Just when he was about to say something bad to Wang Fan, he heard a standard Mandarin voice coming from next to him: "The two brothers just came from China not long ago." Ju An and Wang Fan looked at it and saw a man in his forties pushing a cart.
There was a woman of the same age standing next to him.
Listening to the friendly Mandarin, Ju An replied: "I have been here for a few months. My name is Ju An, and this is Wang Fan who just came from China."
The man in his forties said: "My name is Lu Guangyuan, and this is my wife, Chang Dongna. We both came from the capital of China. We have been in Great Falls for more than ten years. We bought a farm in the suburbs and planted
Order some flowers, grass, corn or something.”
Ju An smiled and said hello to the two of them, and then said: "I don't live in Great Falls, I live in Lewistown. I bought a ranch there and just started to raise some cattle and sheep."
Lu Guangyuan asked with a smile: "Aren't you the rich man who spent tens of millions to buy a large ranch?"
Wang Fan asked strangely: "I said he is so famous? Have you even heard of him?".
Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "It is indeed you. It was reported in the newspapers at that time, but there were no photos. It was said that a Chinese rich man spent tens of millions to buy a large ranch. Many Americans I know have seen it.
People in the news lament that they are really rich. Nowadays, many Americans think that Chinese people are rich. Last time, I read a newspaper. It introduced that the daughter of a Chinese rich man came to the United States to study and fell in love with a house worth more than three million yuan, waiting for her parents.
When I came over, I took a look and said, "How can anyone live in this house?" The American agent next to me was shocked. Finally, I chose a villa with a price of more than 5 million before I was satisfied. The newspaper said with emotion that the Chinese people really have a lot of money.
money".
Ju An said with a smile: "I don't have much money. When I was in China, I loved riding horses. At that time, I wanted to build a pasture to raise horses. Finally, I fell in love with that pasture. It has mountains and water, which is what we Chinese care about.
I bought it when I was living together, and now I have just started, and there are still not many cattle and sheep.”
Chang Dongna smiled and said: "When we first came from China, we didn't know anything. At that time, Lao Lu did Sino-Russian trade for a few years and made a little fortune. Later, the business in Russia gradually became more and more popular.
It was getting harder and harder, and my children were getting older. Considering the children's education, I went to the United States and bought a farm. There were not many Chinese here at that time. Except for the restaurant owner, we were the only family.
Over the years, there have been sixty or seventy Chinese people here, and we often get together when the time comes. If not, come to our place today at noon and recognize the door, so that everyone can move around more in the future."
Wang Fan said: "That will trouble you so much."
The couple was even happier when they heard that Ju An agreed.
