Time flies so fast, and the huge collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art makes it impossible for visitors to appreciate all the exhibits in a short time.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the staff appeared in each exhibition hall on time.
They politely but without questioning began to clear the place. Visitors reluctantly walked out of the gate one after another, including Sun Dahai and others.
"It's really not fun! Dahai, I decided to change my schedule and continue to visit tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
After several hours of visiting, Gao Ren had become quite familiar with Sun Dahai and others. At this time, the visit was forced to end, so he reluctantly asked Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai shook his head and said helplessly: "We are leaving the day after tomorrow. We are going to several other places tomorrow. We don't have time to come here again."
Gao Ren also shook his head regretfully and said: "Forget it, I'll do it myself tomorrow. Dahai, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I've developed a good restaurant in the past few days. It's Cantonese cuisine. I think the taste is very good.
."
Although Gao Ren is considered a native of Suzhou, he grew up in the capital. He is from all over the world, his family is in good condition, and he is not short of enough money to eat.
After he established Tianfu Investment Company, he became financially free. Now he is traveling alone, just when he is in a bad mood.
Here Gao Ren met Sun Dahai, a fellow villager, and they had a lot in common with him. Under such circumstances, it was only natural for him to take the initiative to treat guests to dinner.
Sun Dahai hesitated a little.
It was agreed that Andrew would treat the guests to dinner tonight. Gao Ren interfered because he was afraid that Andrew would be unhappy.
Sun Dahai had already discussed the cost of this trip with Andrew in advance: during these few days in New York, all the expenses would be borne by Andrew, who made him the host?
Starting from the 13th, they will go to Seattle and then to Mexico City to watch the World Cup game.
All expenses during this period were shared equally between Andrew and Sun Dahai based on the number of people. In other words, Andrew paid the expenses for two people and Sun Dahai paid the expenses for four people.
As for whether Maggie would share the expenses borne by Andrew with him, Sun Dahai had no involvement.
In fact, everyone is rich, so it doesn’t matter who pays the money. Although Andrew doesn’t have much money, this trip was sponsored by Hunter and Aunt Xu, so there is no need to use the ten dollars he earned.
Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
However, Americans are very independent. It is very common to have a meal together, not to mention such an expensive trip.
Therefore, before Sun Dahai set off from the capital, the two discussed it several times on the phone and finally made this arrangement.
Although Maggie and Alayah temporarily joined the team after Sun Dahai arrived in New York, it did not have much impact on his and Andrew's expense arrangements.
Sun Dahai is from the capital, and the generous temper of northerners is vividly displayed in him. Meeting friends and treating them to a big meal is a very common thing for him.
Now the reason why he didn't take the initiative to have dinner together was because of Andre. Sun Dahai really regarded Andrew as a friend and didn't want him to feel any discomfort because of it.
Seeing that Sun Dahai didn't answer, Gao Ren thought he didn't hear clearly, so he said it again.
At this time, Andrew next to him understood. His Chinese proficiency ranked fifth among the seven people present, much better than Maggie. Alaya didn't understand it at all.
When Andrew saw Sun Dahai looking at him, he shrugged indifferently and said, "Brother Dahai, don't worry about me, you can do whatever you want. At worst, I will make up for this meal after we get to Seattle."
Although Seattle is also in the United States, this trip to Seattle was to take care of Sun Dahai's own affairs, so Sun Dahai had promised Andrew in advance that Andrew would not be responsible for their expenses in Seattle alone.
Andrew had no problem, and Sun Dahai had no problem even more. He said to Gao Ren: "Brother Ren, there are so many people here, how can we let you treat us to dinner? Let's do this, I will treat you today, and when we return to the capital,
Please invite me to dinner again."
Gao Ren quit.
"Dahai, you are still in school and have no income. The state will give me a monthly living allowance, and I also earn money by working part-time in my spare time, and my family's economic conditions are very good. Since you call me 'Brother Ren', so this
Don’t argue with me for a meal.”
When Gao Ren said this, he was actually setting up an ambush.
The small living allowance provided by the state to the government-sponsored students studying abroad, even with all the income from his leisurely job, was far from enough to pay for the camera in his hand.
It's just that he just met Sun Dahai. Although he is relatively close to each other, he will not tell everything about himself. For a third-generation official in the city, this point seems to be engraved in the genes, and he will be able to do it without anyone's teaching.
of.
In fact, Sun Dahai has not fully revealed the truth. He has more secrets. Even if he is not reborn, if his true situation is revealed, it will definitely shock a large number of people.
Therefore, apart from his family, only the closest people like Battelle, Gao Yi and Hu Cheng would know about his situation.
Now that Gao Ren had talked about it to this extent, Sun Dahai could no longer stick to his point of view. So the seven of them got into the car together and rushed to the restaurant where Gao Ren had talked about.
Andrew actually knew the restaurant Gao Ren was talking about, but he had never been there. This restaurant is located on the corner of a small street in Manhattan's Chinatown. From the outside, it looks a bit old and inconspicuous.
The signboard is in traditional Chinese and reads "Nam Hwa Teahouse, Nam Hwa Cake Making Company". Looking at the name, it looks like a Cantonese-style morning tea house.
After parking the car, everyone walked in together.
The tea room was not very large, but it was very tidy. Cantonese was heard in waves, and Sun Dahai felt as if he had passed through a space door and arrived in Guangdong Province or Xiangjiang.
Gao Ren was very familiar with this place. After he greeted the waiter, they moved the table together.
Seven of them came to eat today, and the big table was no longer available, so the waiter had to put two tables for four together.
The business in the store was really good. At this time, it was almost 80% full. The waiter was quite old, but his hands and feet were very quick. He quickly laid out the tablecloth and let everyone sit down.
"This restaurant, as well as Chinese restaurants in several other cities, were all found out about this restaurant by my family before I went abroad, asking people who often come to the United States. They were afraid that I would not be used to eating Western food.
I have to say that the elderly are really prepared for a rainy day and very considerate. Anyway, I have had enough of this Western food.
I have been in New York for four days, and I have eaten more than half of my meals here, so I finally feel more comfortable."
