Marvel Teleporter

Chapter 4 Alex Zhang

After crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, the three of Zhang Xuan came to Manhattan, the most prosperous district in New York, where the Stark Industries Expo will also be held, in an industrial park built by Stark Industries.

Since last night's dinner, Zhang Xuan hadn't eaten anything, his stomach was already growling with hunger, and he said to Steve and Bucky politely: "Maybe we should eat something, listen, my My stomach is growling."

Steve is thin and thin. He is working hard to keep fit in order to meet the conscription requirements, and he eats a lot. He also felt hungry when Zhang Xuan told him, so he nodded and said, "Why don't you go to Chinatown and try Chinese food? "

Bucky glanced at Steve, knowing that he was taking care of Zhang Xuan, he didn't care, and said with a smile: "This idea is good. Speaking of which, I haven't tasted Chinese food yet!"

Zhang Xuan was a little dazed at the moment. When he heard the word "Chinatown", another picture appeared in his mind, which belonged to Alex's memory and sporadic memories about Chinatown.

It turned out that when he was very young, Alex and his mother lived in Chinatown for a long time, and later they moved out of Chinatown because of some incidents.It’s just that for some reason, the memory of Chinatown seemed to be deliberately sealed in the depths of Alex’s memory by Alex. If it wasn’t mentioned by chance, Zhang Xuan probably wouldn’t even know there was such a story.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help feeling a little doubt in his heart, and followed Steve and Bucky towards Chinatown.

Walking into Chinatown is like returning to Huaxia during the Republic of China. All you see on the street are long gowns and cheongsams, which are completely different from New York a few meters away, and there is a feeling of being out of place.

Alex's appearance perfectly inherited from his mother's, a typical appearance of a yellow race, only more delicate and handsome.Walking in Chinatown full of yellow people, he didn't look awkward, but Steve and Bucky in front of him seemed a little special.Because during this period, racial discrimination in the United States was still very serious. People of the yellow race were not even as good as black people in the United States. It is no wonder that two white people appeared in Chinatown.

Zhang Xuan realized that there was something wrong with the eyes of the crowd, so he hurriedly stepped forward, walked in front of Steve and Bucky, and deliberately joked with them, expressing to his compatriots that they were his friends.

Sure enough, after seeing Zhang Xuan's actions, everyone ignored him. Only a few elderly people stared closely at Zhang Xuan with their misty eyes, making Zhang Xuan feel a little creepy.

After walking a few steps, an old lady leaned on a cane and walked out from the porch by the street, walked up to Zhang Xuan and stopped, looked Zhang Xuan up and down for a while, and asked tremblingly: "Ah Xuan , are you Ah Xuan?"

Listening to the familiar Huaxia language, Zhang Xuan was taken aback when he heard the words. Looking at the old lady in front of him, countless images suddenly popped up in his mind.After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xuan called out hesitantly: "Grandma An!"

It turned out that in addition to the English name, Alex also has a Chinese name, Zhang Xuan.Recalling the memories in his mind, Zhang Xuan had to lament the coincidence of fate that he actually transmigrated into the body of a person with the same name and surname.What's even more ridiculous is that he eagerly gave himself a name, Alex Xuan Zhang, neither fish nor fowl.

"Hey!" Old Madam An responded loudly, then straightened her body and shouted at the top of her voice, "Ah Xuan is back, Ah Xuan is back!"

With a shout, the whole Chinatown seemed to vibrate. After a while, the three of Zhang Xuan were surrounded by a group of Chinese people. Steve and Bucky were so frightened that they immediately put on a fighting posture, ready to strike at any time.

Zhang Xuan stopped Steve and Bucky, who were about to make a move, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, they know me."

As he said this, Zhang Xuan was very depressed in his heart. They knew him, but he didn't know them. The memory about Chinatown in Alex's memory seemed to be deliberately forgotten by him, so Zhang Xuan could only be stupid. Standing there stupidly, looking at the enthusiastic compatriots all around.

"Ah Xuan, how is your mother?" After making a fuss for a while, Old Madam An asked again, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her trembling voice.

Zhang Xuan's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said in a low voice, "Grandma An, my mother left three years ago!"

Old Madam An was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed: "It's good to go, it's good to go, so as not to suffer in this world!" After speaking, Old Madam An raised her head to look at Zhang Xuan, and said sadly, "It's just that you suffer ,child!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and did not speak. From the unconscious comfort of the people around him, Zhang Xuan felt that they seemed to be hiding some secret, a secret about his mother.Zhang Xuan tried his best to recall, but searched Alex's memory, Zhang Xuan couldn't find any clues.

"Ah Xuan, what are you going to do when you come back this time?" A middle-aged man asked with a silly smile while carrying a sack.

Zhang Xuan didn't continue to entangle, the secret would be revealed one day, and he just had to find it slowly when he had the opportunity in the future.Hearing the middle-aged uncle's words, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Uncle Ye! Since my mother left, I haven't eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time. Don't you want to come back and try it?"

"Ah Xuan, let's go, I'll ask Uncle An to cook for you in person, just tell me what you want to eat!" Mrs. An said with a stick of her cane when she heard the words.

Hearing Mrs. An's words, the people who originally wanted to greet Zhang Xuan to eat suddenly stopped, leaving a few polite words that Chinese people are used to, and then dispersed.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Mrs. An's father-in-law was the imperial chef. After Xinhai, Mr. An traveled across the ocean to the United States, and opened a restaurant in this Chinatown. The taste is excellent, and it is well-known in Chinatown.Uncle An, the son of Mrs. An, inherits his father's business and cooks well. Zhang Xuan often ate and drank at Mrs. An's restaurant when he was a child.

"Blessed are you!" Zhang Xuan said with a smile as he turned to look at Steve and Bucky, who looked confused, while walking towards An's Restaurant with the help of Mrs. An.

"Ah Xuan, are they your friends?" Mrs. An heard Zhang Xuan's words, glanced back at Steve and Bucky behind her, frowned slightly, and said with some concern, "The tall one looks It looks like he is very strong, but this thin man is like a bamboo pole, he needs to be nourished, I will ask Uncle An to cook you a pot of ginseng chicken soup, it will be very nourishing!"

"Then thank you Grandma An!" Zhang Xuan was very moved when he heard the words, and did not refuse. He knew that this was Grandma An's heart, "I thank you on behalf of my friend!"

Old lady An patted the back of Zhang Xuan's hand lightly, and said angrily, "Thank you, neighbors, it should be." After finishing speaking, Old lady An sighed again, "It's just a pity for your mother, what a blessing! Girl, you just got such a strange disease!"

"Strange illness?" Zhang Xuan frowned, a little surprised, the woman in his memory didn't seem to have any illness.

Zhang Xuan wanted to ask again, but Mrs. An suddenly stopped, looked up and saw that she had arrived at An's restaurant: "Ah Xuan, you take your friend to sit inside first, I'll take a look at the back!" Zhang Xuan spoke, walked through the atrium on crutches, passed through a small door, and disappeared into the backyard.

"Alex, what were you and the old lady talking about just now?" Steve pulled Zhang Xuan and asked a little strangely, "I think she also looked at us."

Zhang Xuan temporarily let go of his doubts, pointed at Steve and said with a smile: "Grandma An said that you are too thin, and she is going to cook ginseng and chicken soup for you to make up your body!"

"Ginseng Chicken Soup? What is this? Can it really nourish your body?" Steve didn't speak yet, but Bucky couldn't wait to speak, "If it's true, then bring Steve to eat every day from now on, Steve Really too skinny!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words, and secretly thought in his heart, they really are good friends!
