half an hour later

The two of them finally arrived at their destination, Chinatown in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

At the entrance, there is a Chinese-style archway gate, with the three words "Chinatown" above it, which appear very clearly under the light.

Once here, there were more and more Chinese importing and exporting. After Yang Chen looked around casually, he and Laura walked through the gate and entered Chinatown.

After not walking far, Yang Chen felt like he was back in Xiangjiang. Except that there were more white people on the street, there were no other changes at all.

Looking up, on the plaques hanging on both sides of the street, the capital Chinese characters are very eye-catching, and they are also marked in French.

Obviously, French is specifically for French people to read. Most of the people living in Chinatown are Chinese, but because of the liveliness here, it also attracts many local French residents to visit.

The two of them walked for a while, and various restaurants began to appear along the street. When it comes to eating, you have to admire us Chinese.

In the shops along the way, other words will pop up every few shops.

When we arrived at the places to eat, we walked past them in rows, and they were all owned by Chinese people. There were restaurants of all major types from all over the world.

After walking for a while, Yang Chen stopped at a Sichuan restaurant.

Seeing Yang Chen stop at the Sichuan restaurant, Laura's face turned pale and she opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the smile on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth, she choked back her words.

The Sichuan restaurant is not big, not even 100 square meters by visual inspection, but compared to the previous ones, this place is obviously much bigger.

In addition to the dozen or so long seats facing the door, there are three private tables spaced apart in the innermost part, which are very well-arranged and have the air conditioning turned on.

When Yang Chen and Laura came in, Wu Yaoxin, Jun Zi and others immediately blocked the entrance to the store.

There are not many customers in the restaurant at this time. Under normal circumstances, unless it is a holiday or in a hurry at noon, everyone will cook at home in the evening.

Yang Chen and Laura directly occupied a private table, while the other two private tables were occupied by Wu Yaoxin and others.

The long table near Yang Chen was occupied by Jun Zi and Tietou.

Outside, Junzi and Tietou would never slack off for Yang Chen's safety, even when eating.

A group of people came in all of a sudden. Not only the diners in the restaurant looked at each other in surprise, but even the owner of the Sichuan restaurant was startled.

Seeing his daughter preparing to go over with the menu, the restaurant owner quickly grabbed it and asked his daughter to stay at the front desk.

The restaurant owner's eyes circled around Jun Zi and others, and finally locked his eyes on Yang Chen and Laura.

It was obvious that the group of big men around them were all surrounding the two of them.

At the same time, Wu Yaoxin happened to see the boss hesitate, so he reached out and pointed to Yang Chen's table, signaling the boss to order food for Yang Chen's table first.

Seeing this, the boss finally confirmed his idea and quickly smiled and nodded to Wu Yaoxin to thank him.

"Hello"

The restaurant owner came to Yang Chen, smiled and nodded in greeting, and handed the menu in his hand to Yang Chen.

"Hello." Hearing the boss speaking Mandarin, Yang Chen took the menu handed over by the boss and responded with a smile.

"Hey" the boss was a little surprised when he heard Yang Chen speak standard Mandarin. When he saw Yang Chen just now, he subconsciously thought that the other person was Chinese, so he said hello in Mandarin.

But when he came back to his senses and was about to say hello in French, Yang Chen had already responded.

The boss asked hesitantly: "Sir, are you from the Bay or the inland?"

Yang Chen handed the menu in his hand to Laura and said with a smile: "Xiangjiang".

When the boss heard this, he nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Although the people in Xiangjiang all spoke Cantonese, there were also many people who could speak Mandarin, so there was nothing curious about it.

Seeing Laura looking at the menu hesitantly, the boss blinked, a little strange.

Because many French people like to come to his shop to try out what is super spicy, so their menus are all marked in French, so there is no problem in understanding them.

Yang Chen saw something wrong with her expression, so he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you know what to order?"

Laura pursed her lips: “Chen, are there any non-spicy dishes here?”

Laura forced a smile, and her mind couldn't help but think of the last time she was tricked by a friend into eating fish.

The spicy taste is still fresh in her memory.

As we all know, Sichuan cuisine is the kind of food that makes people want to try the second bite after the first bite.

After Laura was deceived by her friend into taking the first bite, because she couldn't help but be greedy, under the encouragement of her friend, she ate directly until she was admitted to the hospital.

Therefore, she was very impressed by this restaurant. Although she later fell in love with Chinese food, she still had a strong taboo against spicy food.

At noon, because everyone had to work, Wu Yaoxin ordered light and not spicy dishes, so she and Yang Chen competed to eat them.

When Yang Chen heard this, he took the menu from her hand, smiled, and said nothing.

In a Sichuan restaurant, can non-spicy dishes be served with rice? After ordering a few dishes, Yang Chen mentioned to the boss that they were slightly spicy.

As for how mildly spicy it is, it depends on the owner’s understanding and the spiciness level of the restaurant.

After Yang Chen finished ordering the dishes, Wu Yaoxin, Jun Zi and others didn't need any introduction from the boss at all, and just took the menu and finished ordering the dishes.

After handing the menu to his wife who was working as a cook, the boss washed his hands and started preparing the dishes.

The boss didn't think too much about who Yang Chen was. He was a small restaurant owner, so what did he do with his leisure time?

In front of the counter, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old was staring at Yang Chen's back with curiosity. For some reason, she always felt that he looked familiar.

When she has nothing to do after school, she often comes to the store to help. As time goes by, she will naturally remember some regular customers.

However, Yang Chen was obviously not one of the regular customers in her memory.

But unfortunately, she just felt very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Feeling bored, the girl turned on the TV.

It just so happened that the news about the French election was being broadcast on TV. The Chinese-Americans living in France, such as girls, were very concerned about the presidential election.

Sometimes a decision made by the president will have a great impact on the lives of Chinese Americans who have lived in France all year round.

The only regret is that their family does not have the right to vote. Although the girl was born in France and has French nationality, she has nothing to do with voting because she is not yet an adult.

Although her parents have lived in France for many years, they only have long-term residency rights and do not have French nationality, nor do they have the right to vote.

Of course, when it comes to presidential elections, Chinese Americans don’t like to participate very much. They just pay attention to it.

The news of the presidential election successfully diverted the girl's attention from thinking about why Yang Chen looked familiar.
