Chapter 64 Supermarket Encounters
Driving out of Jason's racecourse, he turned to the main road after a while. When he was on the road, Ju An turned on the radio and tuned to the music channel. After a while, Wang Fan started After searching the radio station, after turning around, he complained in the co-pilot's seat: "How come there is only one kind of music to turn over and tune in, it's too monotonous".

Ju An laughed twice and said, "It's basically country music, except for the news, that's it, if you want to listen to anything else, you can put my CDs, they're all from China, a Zheng Zhihua, and Dick Cowboy or something".

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 hummed along with Dick Cowboy's song.

After arriving in Great Falls, after asking a few police officers, Ju An found a Chinese supermarket, and found the place after a lot of trouble. As soon as Ju An parked the car, Wang Fan jumped out of the car and stretched out a big Lazy waist.

"It's really not small here." 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, and go back quickly after buying, go home for lunch, and what time do you arrive home for lunch."

Wang Fan stared at Ju An with an exaggerated expression and said, "Damn, it won't be so cruel, I ate two buns and a cup of coffee for breakfast, it's almost noon, I have to go home. It will be three or four o'clock anyway."

Ju An said with a smile, "Just do it like this. If you want to eat lunch soon, don't dawdle and go."After talking and pushing Wang Fan, the two walked towards the entrance of the supermarket. When they arrived at the door, they pushed a car in. Only then did Ju An realize that the supermarket was indeed not small.There is a dazzling array of goods, and half of the staff in the store are foreigners, which is very different from the Chinese supermarket that Ju An encountered in San Francisco. The employees of the Chinese supermarket in San Francisco are all Chinese, but there are more blond and blue-eyed foreigners here.

Wang Fan and Wang Fan pushed the car to the side of the fruit area. Ju An took a look. My dear, I was thinking about going to China. It says China, and the provinces where they are produced are also listed below.

Looking at the sign of the red Fuji apples, it says 99 cents a pound, and a pound of RMB 0.9 yuan a pound. One pound in the United States is equivalent to [-] jin in China, which is a little more expensive than the domestic price.

I took a few of each domestic fruit, weighed it, and put it into the shopping cart.Wang Fan looked at it for a while and said, "Why do you always see that you get domestic fruits, and foreign fruits, too. You see, such popular foreign apples are very expensive in China, and they are much cheaper here."While talking, he took the bag and filled it with the kind of big red apples, the kind that look good and taste good, but are not flattering at all.

Seeing that Wang Fan was 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 for you to leave. I’ll take it away from you at the time of writing. Of course, apples in the U.S. are cheaper in the U.S., didn’t you see that a pound of tofu here in Laomei is almost ten yuan?”

Wang Fan looked at it and pouted: "I only took seven or eight."After he finished speaking, he tied his pockets and went to the clerk to be weighed.Putting it in the shopping cart and pushing it a few steps away, Wang Fan saw the American cantaloupe and said to Ju An: "This round cantaloupe is different from our domestic image, and maybe the taste is different. It’s not the same, let’s get one back and try it.”

After Wang Fan finished speaking, he carried one to the car. It was already weighed, and Ju An saw that it was almost five yuan per pound.

Ju An chose some domestic plums, the famous mountain jujube, and longan grapes, and put them in the cart. He walked to the side, saw a place selling oranges, and looked at the price. The cheapest one is California. Oranges cost three pounds per dollar, but Ju An smelled so stinky, so he took Wang Fan away, and Wang Fan said glumly, "Buy a few to try, maybe it's like the domestic stinky smell. Tofu, it smells bad and tastes good."

Ju An glanced at him and said: "Okay, then take a few, but don't put other things together, carry them by yourself, I'm afraid of contaminating other things, don't go home at that time, everything will be Smells like California oranges."

Hearing what Ju An said, Wang Fan shook his head and said, "Forget it, if you return to the ranch in your arms, maybe your brother will also smell bad."

Following Ju An and Wang Fan, they pushed the cart and walked for a while. The cart was full of things. Ju An looked at it and found that there were still some things to buy, so he found another cart. One person drove a cart, and Ju An discovered something novel. Ju An took a handful of domestically produced parsley, put it on his nose and smelled it, um, the aroma went straight to the heart and spleen, when I saw the price Sure enough, the Chinese people eat a lot more expensive, and a pound of renminbi is almost ten yuan, regardless of the weight of these parsleys that have been obtained forty or five, and put in the shopping cart.

Wang Fan said strangely: "What are you doing when you buy so much celery, and you can't eat so much, don't break it by then."

Ju An said casually, "It doesn't matter. Tonight we make celery dumplings to eat. I haven't eaten celery dumplings for so long. When I see this thing, my heart feels like grass growing, and I want to eat it to death."

"You're really a foodie, but when you talk about celery dumplings, I'm also thinking about it, so let's go get some pork," Wang Fan said.The pace of pushing the car also accelerated a lot.

When the two of them arrived at the meat counter, Wang Fan saw the price of pork and said, "This pork is not cheap there. Is it so difficult to raise a pig now, and a pound here is more than two dollars."

Ignoring Wang Fan's remarks, he pointed to a piece of pork that looked about as fat and thin to the clerk and said, "Bring me this piece of meat, and then help me make it into minced meat."

The clerk's hands and feet are very quick, and he also asked Ju An: "Sir, are you Chinese, do you want to put some green onion or ginger in the meat filling, usually Chinese people come to buy something like this?" .When Ju An heard it, come on, don't look at it as a foreign guy, this is a professional, I didn't expect to put these, so I said thank you to the clerk, and then asked him to put some ginger and green onion in it together.

After a while, the work was done, and a total of more than ten pounds of minced meat was made. Ju An took the minced meat and put it on the shopping cart. Wang Fan said, "Damn, you are crazy, ten pounds of minced meat. When are you going to eat?"

Ju An said: "Old Thomas and the others not only love to eat all kinds of soy products, but also love Chinese dumplings. Every time I make them, I will bring them with me to make them. There are no more than three meals of these."

Wang Fan thought for a while, nodded his head and said, "That's right, you are the only idler in your ranch, and you can maximize your value by doing logistical work for everyone. Don't let Laomei think that we are both I’m a foodie, oops, it’s broken, our old middle school’s image has been corrupted by you, he doesn’t work all day, walks everywhere, gives you a whole birdcage, and puts on a jacket, just like a modern version of the Eight Banners children.” .

Ju An pointed at Wang Fan and cursed, "Your uncle's."

Just as I was about to say a few words about Wang Fan, I heard a standard Chinese mandarin from the side: "The two brothers have just arrived from China not long ago."Ju An and Wang Fan saw a man in his 40s pushing a cart and a woman of the same age standing beside 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 40s said: "My name is Lu Guangyuan, and this is my wife, Chang Dongna. Both of us came from the capital of China. We have been in Great Rapids for more than ten years. We bought a farm in the suburbs and planted some Flowers, grass, corn or something."

Ju An said hello to the two with a smile, and then said, "I don't live in Great Falls, I live in Lewistown. I bought a ranch there, and I 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? Even you have heard of it?".

Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "It really was you. It was reported in the newspapers at that time, but there were no photos. It was said that a rich man of Chinese descent bought a large ranch for tens of millions. Many old beauties I know have seen it. The news is really rich. Now many Americans think that the Chinese are rich. Last time I read a newspaper, it introduced a Chinese rich man’s daughter to study in the United States. She took a fancy to a house of more than 300 million yuan and waited for her parents to come. When I was there, I glanced at it and said, how can people live in this house, which frightened the American agent next to me, and finally chose a villa with more than 500 million yuan before I was satisfied. The newspaper said with emotion, the Chinese are really rich” .

Ju An said with a smile, "I don't have much money. When I was in China, I liked to ride horses. At that time, I wanted to get a ranch to raise horses. Finally, I fell in love with that ranch. It has mountains and rivers, something we Chinese care about. I just bought it after I lived together, and now I have just started, and there are still not many cattle and sheep.”

Chang Dongna said with a smile: "When we first came from China, we didn't understand anything. At that time, Lao Lu made a small fortune in Sino-Russian trade for a few years. Later, the business in Russia gradually increased. It’s getting harder and harder to do, and the children are getting older. Considering the children’s education, I went to the United States and bought a farm. At that time, there were not many Chinese here. Except for the restaurant, we were the only family. Over the years, there have been [-] or [-] Chinese here, and everyone gathers from time to time. Otherwise, they will come to our place at noon today to recognize the door, and everyone will move around more in the future.”

Wang Fan said, "How troublesome is that to you."

The couple heard that Ju An agreed and they were even happier.
