Chapter 436: Chinatown

Regardless of what happened in Carson City, Jiang Hao and his convoy drove on the roads, grasslands, wilderness, and tall redwood trees. The convoy passed through the Sierra Nevada Mountains and arrived in Sacramento four days later.

Sacramento is the capital of California, but whether it is now or in the future, his reputation is much worse than that of cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

After arriving in Sacramento, the team had a good rest for two days. Pete also teased Bill, "Bill, the Mrs. Taylor you met on the train seems to live in Sacramento, don't you plan to meet her?"

Bill shrugged and said nothing.

The team set off again and finally arrived in San Francisco two days later. At this time, San Francisco was the largest city on the west coast, much larger than Los Angeles. The development here benefited from the discovery of gold and the arrival of Chinese laborers.

But now, Chinese laborers are the most discriminated group in San Francisco. When the convoy entered downtown San Francisco, many people looked at Yu Rong and Jiang Wen with unfriendly eyes. If they hadn’t followed white people like Jiang Hao, It is estimated that someone has stepped forward to provoke.

This group of Chinese naturally felt the strangeness in people's eyes.

The motorcade stopped at a big hotel, and Bill and Pete got out of the car to book a room. When the boss saw that there were Chinese in the team, he said, "Gentlemen, you can stay, but Chinese are not."

Jiang Hao looked at the middle-aged boss and said with a stern face: "They are my friends, can't they?"

"You can ask them to live in the servant's room, the guest room is not open to the Chinese." The boss insisted.

Jiang Wen, Yu Rong and the others all looked a little ugly, Jiang Hao looked at the somewhat confused Princess Pepe, and said in Chinese: "See, this is the free life you are after, the Chinese are here, they are people of color, It's a group of people who are discriminated against."

"But Mr. Hall and your companions did not discriminate against the Chinese." Pepe asked.

"That's because my master is Chinese, and my companions respect me, that's all. It doesn't represent the mainstream perception. If you live here, it will become very difficult. I think you just have to go to Chinatown and ask. Just know."

"Now, you can only live in the servant's room. This is the reality."

At this time, the white boss asked, "Sir, have you decided yet?"

Jiang Hao turned to look at the white boss, "It's decided, we won't live here."

After speaking, he brought people out, and told his subordinates, "Let's go to Chinatown."

The convoy walked into Chinatown, which was not as prosperous and clean as the later Chinatown at the moment. The tallest buildings on both sides were some two-story buildings with obvious Chinese style. The warm reception of the boss, seeing that there are Chinese among them, the boss even greeted in Hokkien.

Most of the people who came to the United States at this time were from the south, and Hokkien is the mainstream language here.

Everyone finally settled down, and the antique Chinese hotel made Bill and others feel a little novel.

After settling in, Yu Rong actually sent Jiang Wen over, saying that he wanted to invite Jiang Hao and the others to dinner, saying that he was grateful for their help on this trip. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid they really couldn't complete the task.

Treating guests to dinner is a Chinese custom. Jiang Hao took his brothers there and opened two tables. Everyone drank lively. Jenny didn't come, so naturally that Princess Pepe would not participate in this kind of rough man's meeting wine bureau.

They are all cheerful people, drinking heavily and eating food. It was the first time for Bill and others to eat Chinese food. It was very fresh. After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Hao asked Yu Rong, "Does your princess still want to go back now?"

Yu Rong said: "What I saw along the way hit the princess very hard. She no longer refuses to go back. We inquired about it during the day, and there happens to be a boat going to Guangzhou in seven days. We will take that boat back."

"This is not my country after all, it's better to go back." Jiang Hao said.

"What about you, Mr. Hall, do you want to continue traveling?" Yu Rong asked.

"I don't know yet, maybe I will continue to travel, maybe I will stop, you know, carrying so much gold is not very suitable for long-distance travel." Jiang Hao said with a smile after thinking about it.

The two raised their glasses and clinked together, drank the wine in the glass together.

After drinking, Jiang Hao wandered to the second floor. His room was on the left, and Jenny's room was opposite. Jiang Hao felt a little dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. He pushed open the door of the room on the right.

Seeing Jiang Hao coming in, Jenny hurried up to help him, seeing that he looked a little drunk, "Are you okay, do you need me to pour you a glass of water?"

Jiang Hao hugged Jenny, "I just want to kiss your lips."

woo woo woo~~

When he got up the next morning, Jiang Hao took Jenny to the street. He was going to go around Chinatown to see if he could buy yellow paper and cinnabar.

There are really very few white people in Chinatown, most of them are Chinese. Many people are curious about Jiang Hao, who is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and Jenny, who is wearing a thin-waisted women's dress, but when your eyes glance over, they will immediately Dodge, with a cautious look.

When I came to a grocery store, the boss saw two foreigners coming in, and immediately came over with a smile, showing some humility, and said in English: "Sir, miss, what do you need?"

Cinnabar and yellow paper are hard to say in English, so Jiang Hao said directly in Chinese: "I need cinnabar, yellow paper and Langhao pen, do you have any here?"
