New Yorkers are proud—their accent shows that .
The American English accent didn't have much variety—there was no more than the difference between the north and south accent . New York was unique because it had its own accent, and the local people were proud of that accent .
As long ago as the Copernicus era, someone knew that the earth was not the center of the universe, and Bruno defended this truth with his life .
But that didn't make sense in New York: they thought that New York was the center of the earth and the center of the universe, and this fact was something New Yorkers were proud of .
Li Du could understand this feeling . Just like in China, residents of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou were proud of their hometown . New York was the world's first city . It would be normal for them to be proud of their city .
It was afternoon when they arrived in New York . After they had wandered about, it was almost dinner time .
"It has a great business feel, lots of expensive apartments, trendy restaurants and new era food courts," said the driver, who advised them to visit Tribeca .
Tribeca was short the short name for the street east of Broadway and was a tourist attraction in New York .
Li Du was not interested in this kind of place . He wanted to go to Chinatown for dinner .
In New York's Chinatown, home to more than 150,000 Chinese residents, there were many cramped rented rooms and cramped apartments, where people lived in luxurious shells next to a place that actually contained slums .
Many of the Chinese in Chinatown were illegal immigrants who either snuck in or overstayed their visas to earn a living .
The driver said, "In the evening, Chinatown is relatively in chaos and I'm afraid of meeting bad guys . If you want to eat Chinese food, I recommend the sunset park in Brooklyn or Flushing in Queens .
These two places were also home to more than 100,000 Chinese, which showed how large Chinese populations were in New York .
"In Chinatown, actual Chinese food is not very popular . There are many Vietnamese people there, and they opened a lot of restaurants inside, so . . . " The driver shrugged and hoped Li Du would change his mind .
Li Du laughed and said, "Don't worry, you see these two? They can handle any bad guys . "
He pointed back . Godzilla folded his arms to reveal the exaggerated lines of his muscles . Brother Wolf was silent but if studied carefully, the proud aura could be felt coming from deep inside his bones .
Seeing that Li Du was determined to go, the driver again shrugged and drove them over .
By this time Chinatown was becoming more and more lively, and Li Du was walking around with Sophie, listening to the Chinese words that kept ringing in his ears .
Cantonese, Hokkien, and Mandarin were the three most common languages, along with Lu, and Northeast dialect, and so on . This made Li Du feel like home .
Cantonese, Hokkien, and Mandarin were the three most common languages, along with Lu, and Northeast dialect, and so on . This made Li Du feel like home .
Sunset Park and Flushing had a lot of Chinese but no atmosphere of places like Chinatown, which had many Chinese here .
The street was lined with restaurants and hotels, a hotpot restaurant, barbecue restaurant, Sichuan restaurant, Northeast restaurant, Lu restaurant, northwest restaurant and so on . There was much variety .
Many restaurants had transparent windows with roasted pigs, roast lamb legs and various types of bacon . Some restaurants even had fish tanks at their door with lively fish swimming in them .
Seeing Li Du snuggling up to a beautiful woman, followed by two big men, the shop owners with sharp eyes guessed that he was a rich man . They approached trying to convince him to have dinner in their restaurants .
"Big brother, come here, we have the most vigorous seafood . A man would be hard after this meal and a lady would be wet!"
"Boss, come and see our authentic spicy hot pot, it's tasty!"
"Big brother, come to my shop . Chew big bones and drink big wine, it would be fun . "
Li Du was full of interest to feel the atmosphere, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, and unconsciously asked, "Cao Fan, Brother Cao?"
He saw a Chinese man in his thirties, with a mustache and a bright smile on his face . It was Cao Fan, a Chinese man he had met in Australia .
He didn't speak loudly enough so Can Fan didn't hear him . A middle-aged man beside him heard though . He pulled Cao Fan in surprise and pointed at Li Du and the others' direction .

Seeing Li Du, Cao Fan laughed . He quickly came to take Li Du's hand and said, "Brother Li, long time no see, this is unexpected . What can I say, other than it's fate?"
Li Du laughed, "This is fate . I am also surprised, just worried about misidentifying someone . "
"Er Gou Fan looks so ugly, usually it would not be difficult to recognize him," laughed the middle-aged man nearby .
Cao Fan turned and gave him a punch . Then he said, "This is Li Du, a young Chinese man . Don't think he's too young—he's a successful man . This is my old buddy, Big Cat . "
Li Du shook hands with the middle-aged man and then asked in a low voice, "What's your friend's real name, brother Cao?"
"Just call me Big Cat," the middle-aged man said cheerfully . "Also, don't call him brother Cao, just call him Er Gou . "
Cao Fan asked Li Du what he was doing here . Before Li Du could speak, Cao Fan suddenly said, "Come to the annual meeting of the Winston Group, right? I'm such a pig's brain, I ask stupid questions . "
"It's not a pig's brain, it's a dog's brain," laughed Big Cat .
Obviously, he had a close relationship with Cao Fan, and Cao Fan laughed without any grudge upon hearing Big Cat's words .
After a few conversations, Cao Fan was informed that Li Du came to have dinner . Cao Fan invited him to dinner anyway and said he would introduce another young successful man to him .

Li Du could not reject; he followed Cao Fan to a roasted duck restaurant .
The restaurant was very popular, there were at least 50 people in line at the door, most of them foreigners . Quite a few wore high-grade clothes and spoke extraordinarily . Apparently, they were part of upper-class society .
The shop was decorated in a traditional and unsophisticated style, featuring authentic fruit-wood roast duck . There was a big oven in the hall that had been built with bricks .
Next to the fire was a large number of prepared ducks, which, after eviscerating, had been greased and dressed in layers, and then steamed in special boxes to reduce the dampness in the meat .
The fire was raging inside the stove, and the chefs kept filling it with wood packed in little cardboard boxes labled "pear,""apple,""date," and "apricot" trees .
There were hooks in the stove . An old Chinese gentleman with a long white beard used a stick over two meters long to cook ducks .
He fiddled with the stick, starting with the duck's head and tail, moving and hanging it again until it was fully cooked .
After Cao Fan and Big Cat went in, a waiter immediately approached them respectfully and took them to the top floor .
"There are two powerful characters in our Chinese circle: a little brother named Tang Chaoyang, and a big brother named Song Biaozi," introduced Cao Fan while they went up to the second floor . "The little brother takes control of the big brother, but both of them are easy fellas . "
Listening to this introduction, Li Du felt that the description was a bit familiar . He had met two such people .
