Chapter 269 The Fake Willison

Jason brought Lu Yuan to downtown Los Angeles. At this time, the night had covered the city, the lights were dim, and Lu Yuan still felt that he was living in a dream.

Lu Yuan never thought that he could come to the United States, and he did not know what the United States was like. In the past, his impression of the United States was only preserved in movies, TV series and novels. Now he is in the scene, seeing the street scenes and roads that are completely different from those in China. A sense of strangeness hits my heart as a "foreigner".

Lu Yuan remembered that here, he is the foreigner.

Along the way, Jensen and Lu Yuan had an "in-depth" exchange. Of course, most of the time, they were talking to themselves. Lu Yuan could understand some words in Jensen's words, and Bai Duo I sent him the profile of Jason, and I know that he used to be a bodyguard in the NBA and now runs a gym.

As for Lu Yuan's English proficiency, Jason basically had to guess if he wanted to understand it. In fact, Lu Yuan's English performance was not bad, but he lacked an environment for oral English practice. Of course, he was not used to it when he was suddenly thrown into an English environment.

However, Lu Yuan has a bright and cheerful personality, not at all introverted like some Chinese kids. He is bold and thick-skinned. He is not at all timid when facing Jason, a big black guy, and the two chatted very happily.

Lu Yuan also introduced Wang Yourong to Jensen, saying that he had a friend who was the same as him, even bigger than Jensen, and showed the photo to Jensen.

Looking at the photo of Wang Yourong, Jason was amazed that there is such a strong Chinese high school student.

In the end, Jason parked his big car in the above-ground parking lot, took Lu Yuan out of the car, and said, "I'll take you to eat Chinese food tonight, old Chengdu Sichuan cuisine hot pot!"

Lu Yuan heard Jansen say "Old-Chengdu" and understood "Chinese-food". He knew that he would probably eat Chinese food tonight, and he was secretly pleased. It seemed that he could still eat Chinese food when he arrived in the United States.

"When Bai Duo was playing in Los Angeles, she would treat me to Chinese food. Her favorite is 'hot pot'! I don't know if the 'hot pot' here can satisfy you."

Jason seemed very hospitable. He used to be a court bouncer for NBA and WNBA players, and he was good friends with some basketball stars. It was normal to go out to eat and drink.

Although Bai Duo is a female player, she has a bold personality and enjoys a lot in the Los Angeles area. She has many friends, and Jason is one of them.

But when he entered the hot pot restaurant, Lu Yuan realized that it was different from the Sichuan hot pot he had eaten.

First of all, this "old Chengdu" hot pot restaurant does not have the feeling of old Chengdu at all, but it is more like a coffee shop. The decoration is very American and very simple, which makes Lu Yuan feel that he is here to eat Western food.

Second, there is not a big pot on the table, but a small pot in front of each person. Although there are such small pots in China, the authentic Sichuan hot pot is still a big pot.

Thirdly, when eating hot pot, Lu Yuan likes to adjust the sauce by himself, or just don’t want the sauce and ask for oil. As a result, this restaurant doesn’t have all the sauces, and Lu Yuan doesn’t have any of the things that Lu Yuan likes, and he can’t even see the oil dish.

"What a hot pot?" (What kind of hot pot is this? - Genji English) Lu Yuan frowned and said.

"What?" (What?) Jason obviously couldn't understand what Lu Yuan was talking about, but he knew the word hot pot, so he said, "Have you never eaten hot pot? Hot pot?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said: "The hot pot is not real hot pot, I eat different hot pot in China."

Lu Yuan used his Genji English to stun Jason for a while, but he probably understood that Lu Yuan might think that this hot pot is not authentic enough, so he smiled and said: "This is the United States, there will not always be authentic ones. Chinese food, just like China does not necessarily have authentic American food. I heard from Bai Duo that McDonald's in China is completely different from that in the United States, and McDonald's is an American product."

Lu Yuan was stunned, Jason didn't understand what he said was too long.

But I can't control that much, no matter it's authentic or not, just prepare to eat when you arrive, Lu Yuan's stomach is already hungry.

After taking the menu, Lu Yuan randomly ordered the delicious ones, which made Jason feel a little pained. When the dishes were served, Lu Yuan discovered a problem, that is, the hot pot was not spicy enough.

The peppers in the sauce are Mexican peppers, which taste very different from Chinese ones. Lu Yuan is not used to eating them, and the bottom of the pot is a clear soup with onions, garlic, rosemary and some laurel. It's strange to eat western food.

So, Lu Yuan approached the owner of the restaurant and found out that he was a Chinese, so he asked the owner for a small jar of chili oil.

"Add a top and it will be richer, and a chili will be more spicy!"

It was said that it was an old Chengdu hot pot restaurant, but the owner was actually a Cantonese. Cantonese said it was very spicy, but it must not be spicy enough, so Lu Yuan poured half of it into the hot pot soup, and then simmered some beef and mutton, which instantly tasted much better.

Jason was having a good time eating, but found that Lu Yuan had added something to his hot pot, which he got from the boss, and it seemed to be more delicious. He asked, "What did you add? Tomato sauce? Why? Boss won't give me some?"

Lu Yuan looked at the puzzled Jensen, and pushed the remaining half can in front of him, Jensen looked at the chili oil, and poured it into his own pot.

A few seconds later, when Jason put the beef soaked in the red soup base into his mouth, he couldn't hold back and almost squirted it all out.

"What a fuck! Keke cough!"

Jason was almost choked to death by the chili. He was born in a Christian family and never ate chili since he was a child. After growing up, he worked as an athlete, bodyguard, and opened a gym. No such thing as chili.

In his impression, chili peppers are sharp, or there are chili peppers in Mexican food or curry. In the past, Bai Duo and him ate hot pot without eating spicy food. Who knew that the chili oil brought by the Guangdong boss was specially prepared. For a Chinese customer, he almost killed himself by eating it.

Seeing that Jensen was choking like this, Lu Yuan quickly poured water for him and said, "This is chili, spicy, but delicious."

Jason, who had recovered, took a breath, waved his hands, and said, "No, no, I can't take it, I can't take it."

But his soup base has been "contaminated" by chili peppers, so he had to change to another pot. After that, Jason dared not touch the red spicy oil again, but Lu Yuan would add a little to the pot from time to time. Thumbs up, which means this kid is awesome and can eat spicy food.

After eating the hot pot, Jason took Lu Yuan to a nearby store to buy two sets of clothes. It's almost March and the weather is getting warmer. The climate in Los Angeles is mild, and the indoor heating and air conditioning is sufficient. Many people have started to wear unlined clothes.

After changing his outfit, Lu Yuan looked a lot more foreign, and Jason even matched Lu Yuan with a black peaked cap.

"Cool! Well, let's go home later. You will live at my house this semester. My house is near Wilson High School. I will take you to report to school tomorrow. High school has started for more than two weeks. You are late." up."

Lu Yuan nodded, he knew that Jason was explaining the report tomorrow, he knew it before he came, the American summer vacation is long and winter vacation is short, high school has already started, Lu Yuan is already late for school.

But Lu Yuan was more concerned about basketball, and asked, "Can I join their basketball team? I want to play basketball."

"Basketball team? Oh, of course, Wilson High's basketball team, anyone can join."

Lu Yuan still didn't understand, but he probably knew that he could join the basketball team. Thinking that he could join the basketball team of an American high school, Lu Yuan was a little excited and a little nervous. He didn't know what kind of amazing people he would meet there. teammates and opponents.

........................

At the same time, in China, BJ and Lu Zihao learned the news of Lu Yuan's safe arrival in the United States through WeChat, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

This time Lu Zihao sent Lu Yuan to the United States. Lu Zihao contributed both money and energy. He first wrote a letter to Xu Qian, explaining his intentions. No matter what Xu Qian thought, she finally agreed to let Lu Yuan go abroad for a semester.

Then, all the expenses of Lu Yuan going abroad this time were borne by Lu Zihao, which was not a small expense, but Lu Zihao didn't care, it was a kind of compensation for Lu Yuan.

He only hoped that Lu Yuan could forgive him a little when he found out.

Of course, all of this needs to be thanks to Bai Duo. Originally, it was Bai Ye who went to the United States, but in the end it all became Lu Yuan. After Lu Yuan arrived in the United States, Lu Zihao sent a message to Bai Duo, "He arrived safely. I really want to thank you, in the United States, I have to take care of your friends."

After a while, Bai Duo replied: "It's okay, Jason is a trustworthy person, you can rest assured if you leave it to him. But there is something I want to explain to you."

"This time your son is going to the United States, and he is studying at Wilson High School, that is, Willison High School, not the Willison High School that Bai Ye was going to before."

After saying this, Lu Zihao was startled, what does this mean?Lu Zihao, the famous name of Willison High School, knows it. It is an old school established in 1925, a well-known sports school in California, with very strong sports teachers and resources.

Although it is not as good as traditional strong schools like Palo Alto High School and Skyline High School in terms of basketball, or a school like Inglewood High School that has produced several NBA players and even superstars, Willison High School is better than the school. With a wide range of sports and a good foundation, it is very suitable for players to go for systematic learning and training.

"What do you mean?" Lu Zihao asked.

"There are many Willison high schools in the United States, and there are two in California. Lu Yuan didn't go to the one in Long Beach, but the one in downtown Los Angeles. It's closer to Jason's house. I think it will be more convenient for him to study and train."

Lu Zihao understood now, he knew that Lu Yuan was not going to Willison High School that Bai Ye was going to, but another school with the same name in Los Angeles. As for whether this school is a famous sports school, is it that good? Lu Zihao didn't know about resources.

Now Lu Zihao understood that it turned out that Bai Duo had played a trick on Xiao Xiao.

But Bai Duo replied again: "Don't worry, no matter which high school he is in, there will be someone to help him. As for how far he has grown, it still depends on him, not on the school, right?"

Lu Zihao held back his temper and replied, "I still have to thank you."

Bai Duo said, "It's okay, after all, you have two sons, and I only have one younger brother."
