Chapter 119 Things You Can't Tell

Ju An followed Brad and walked towards the stables at the back of the racecourse. After walking two steps, Ju An remembered that he had bought a betting ticket and hadn't redeemed the prize yet, and he didn't know if he won or not, so he took out the The betting ticket said to Brad: "I bought a seven-dollar ticket when I came in, and I don't know if I won or not."

Hearing what Ju An said, Brad took a look at the paper in Ju An's hand, and said with a smile: "You haven't even filled out the betting form, how could you win, remember to fill it out next time you buy it bet slip".

Scratching his head, Ju An thought a little depressingly that he still had to fill in the betting form, and no one knew about his uncle's. He was cheated out of a few dollars by the racecourse, and he didn't even give himself a chance to earn it back. Down.

After walking with Brad for a while, they arrived at the stables behind the stands of the racecourse. There were neat rows of stables, with beautiful little heads stretching out to eat the grass in front of them.Nearly every horse has a person looking after it.From this point of view, these horses really enjoyed a lot, unlike his own stable where Nancy was basically taking care of him alone.

Arriving in front of Brad's horse, Ju An watched Brad gently stroking the bridge of the speeding train's nose, then said a few words to the horse breeder beside him, and Ju An looked down along the neck of the speeding train , I saw that the horse had already put on a small sky blue dress. At first glance, it looked a bit like the horse armor of a knight in the Middle Ages in Europe. This is probably what Brad said about the mosquito jacket.

After looking around the stables for a while, I found that in the stables, the speeding train was still very quiet. Standing in the stables, I basically didn’t move much. I just stretched out my head and ate grass, quietly like a lady of a big family.

After chatting with the horse trainer for a while, Brad turned his head to Ju An and said, "How about it, Ann, my horse is not bad, it's his first time to compete today, and his starting speed is a bit slow, if not He must have been leading all the time." After speaking, he patted the horse's neck dotingly, and then took out a few sliced ​​carrots from a large plastic bag in front and fed them to the speeding train's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the old man talking to Ju An about his experience of raising horses. After a while, Ju An realized that the old man was just a chatterbox. After a long walk, Ju An was ready to leave. The old man warmly gave Ju An a business card, telling Ju An to go to his racecourse when he wanted to buy a horse, and to ensure that all his horses were certified pure blood. Yes, it can be traded through the Jockey Club.

After leaving the racecourse, Ju An took a taxi and stopped near the hotel, and wandered around alone anyway, anyway, Jasmine has not come back now, so it’s okay to just walk around the street like this, after a while, I feel my stomach growling Call, after all, I ate a small piece of bread in the morning, and I am really not hungry. Look at the watch, this guy is already past four o'clock, and he hasn't eaten for five or six hours. Can he not be hungry?Ju An then found a Chinese restaurant that looked good and went in for dinner.

As soon as Ju An opened the door, he saw all the yellow faces in the restaurant, and immediately felt a lot more friendly.The clerk in the store greeted him immediately: "Welcome!" He said in serious Mandarin, and then took Ju An to a chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea for Ju An, and handed Ju An a menu. He said something in English: "What would you like to eat?"

While flipping through the menu, Ju An said to the waiter with a smile, "Speak Chinese, I'm tired of speaking English."

The guy smiled and explained: "I just came from China for three months, and I'm not proficient in English, so I'll talk to my brother in Chinese."

"Let's hear what you are good at. By the way, make authentic Chinese food, don't fool me with the kind of foreign devils." Ju An flipped through the menu and said.

The little guy said with a smile: "I suggest you have a stewed oxtail, which is fresh in the morning, and salmon, our master chef is good at making charcoal grilled fish."

After hearing this, Ju An put down the menu and said, "Then give me a stewed ox tail, and if there are eggplants in the vegetarian dish, give me a braised eggplant, or give me a scrambled egg with green peppers, choose the spicy green peppers."

The young man said: "Brother, you have everything you said, what exactly do you want?"

"Then let's scramble eggs with green peppers, it's better for dinner," Ju An said with a smile.

The young man wrote it down, and then said to Ju An: "Brother, wait a moment, I'll tell the kitchen right away."Seeing Ju An nodded, the young man walked towards the backcourt.

While drinking tea, Ju An looked around. The decoration of this restaurant is still full of Chinese flavor. There are calligraphy and painting couplets on the wall, and some red wishful knots are hung. The entire table and chairs are also Chinese style. There are also two rows of small bamboo signs hanging on the back, with many dishes written in Chinese on them, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised lion heads and so on.

At this time, the fat boss came over and said to Ju An: "Big brother, you are welcome to my shop. It's the first time you come here."

"Well, it's the first time I've come here, and I said boss, your store is very unique, and the antique is really nice." Ju An said with a smile and compliment.

The smile on the boss's fat face suddenly increased a bit: "I'm not bragging, my restaurant is well-known in the Chinese circle in Los Angeles for its authentic Chinese taste, and the repeat customers are all us Chinese. , you see, we are still a designated restaurant for domestic tour groups over there."After speaking, he pointed to the small copper sign in front of the counter, on which was printed in small red letters, the designated restaurant of a certain tour group.

After watching Ju An almost spit out a mouthful of tea, this guy is so funny, the restaurant designated by the tour group even brought it out to show off.It is also a wonderful flower.

The boss continued: "Don't think it's just a tourist group appointment. Many domestic celebrities have visited my shop when they came to the United States. Now there are many repeat customers among foreigners. By the way, brother, you are alone. Come to the United States to travel or go to school."

Ju An said with a smile: "I'm not here to travel or go to school, I'm here to see my girlfriend."

The boss suddenly realized and said: "Your wife is in Los Angeles. You are here to stay for a few days. When will you return to China?"

"I'm here to stay for five or six days, and now I've set up a ranch in Montana to raise some cattle and sheep," Ju An said with a smile.

The boss glanced at Ju An and said: "Okay, my brother is doing well, and there are pastures, so I really got out of it. Your wife is studying here, and I will give you a discount next time I bring her to my place for dinner." ".

Ju An smiled and said to the boss: "My girlfriend is not used to pure Chinese food, foreign devil."

"That's not bad. At the beginning, I thought your girlfriend was in the United States. You came from China. Be careful what you say." The boss breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ju An heard it, this buddy looked like a firecracker tube, was he being careful?Then he asked curiously: "What's the matter, you have to be careful when you talk."

The boss smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Some people who just came from China, their wives are in China, or their husbands are in China, many of them share a house together and live a short married life here. Those whose wives are still in China It’s better, my husband came here after he was in China, and he knew that it’s not much to get a divorce. The last time a husband came to the United States and found out that his wife was living with someone else, and he had been cuckolded for several years, so he immediately beat up his wife and that man. Then I went to the police station, didn’t I think your girlfriend was here, and you didn’t dare to tell you when you were in China, but then again, some old men can bear the cuckold.”

This is the first time Ju An has heard of such a situation, and there are no such examples around him: "I really haven't heard much about this kind of thing. When will the Chinese be so open?"

The boss shook his head and said with a sigh of relief: "Actually, I can't blame others when I think about it. It's not easy for a man and a woman to work in an unfamiliar environment and earn money everywhere. When they return to an empty house, a person talking No, it’s nothing for two months. In the past few years, there are a few who can survive. Those who think about it continue to live a small life, and there are many people who can’t think about it. Yes, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't come here to suffer this bird crime, it's so pleasant to drink and chat with a large number of buddies in China."

Ju An said: "Then your son's grades are very good."

"The grades are very good. In fact, few of our Chinese children have bad grades. We pay attention to education, but Laomei not only studies well here, but also participates in extracurricular activities. The first year I didn't know how to be called by the teacher. Many times, now my son has played baseball and is the main pitcher of the school team. The children from our country have good grades and a solid foundation in learning. Now I regret that I came early. I will come when I am in high school. It's better," said the boss regretfully.

After thinking about it, Ju An understands that once many domestic students who study abroad overcome the shyness in the classroom, they can easily stand out. There are quite a few Chinese, and the impression given is that the Chinese are very smart and suitable for scientific research.

Hearing the boss's nagging, Ju An's dishes came up. After eating a few chopsticks, Ju An felt that the boss was not bragging. An Cai put down his chopsticks, and when the boss came over, Ju An gave a thumbs up and praised: "The taste is really authentic. To be honest, I have never eaten such a good taste in China."

The boss smiled and said: "Not only is the taste authentic here, but I have also picked this ingredient for a long time."After speaking, he asked the buddy to send a big crab over, saying that it was for Juan.

Seeing that the hospitality was hard to come by, Ju An continued chatting with the boss while eating crabs.
