Chapter 1191 1191. Malayanko (Thank You for Your Concern)

Just after Christmas, Li Du boarded the flight to Philadelphia the next day.

The auction at the Green Traber Museum will be held soon, and he doesn't have much time to waste, so he doesn't call friends and bring other treasure hunters with him.

His destination was Philadelphia, a city with an important place in American history.

It is located in southeastern Pennsylvania and is the central city of the Delaware Valley metropolitan area. The urban area starts from the Delaware River in the east and extends westward to the west of the Schuylkill River. It is the oldest and most historic city in the United States. one of the cities.

Many people know that Philadelphia played an important role in the War of Independence, but few people know how important it is: from 1790 to 1800, before the establishment of Washington, it was the capital of the United States!

Before the War of Independence, North America belonged to the British Empire. At that time, Philadelphia had a higher status. It was the second largest city in the British Empire, and the largest city was the capital London.

But in the end, it became a central city against the British colonial policy. The industrial facilities built by the British here became the strong backing of Washington's anti-colonial war.

Li Du has never been to Philadelphia, but he is no stranger to Philadelphia. He has been to New York many times. New York is now known as the big brother of Philadelphia, and the distance between the two parties is less than a hundred miles.

Of course, Philadelphians do not agree with the status of New York. Before the 19th century, New York was still a younger city that developed behind Philadelphia. At that time, Philadelphia was the cultural, commercial and industrial center of the United States.

Li Du has the habit of learning about the local history, economy and culture before participating in the auction, which helps to increase his knowledge of the goods in the warehouse.

After the plane landed, he directly rented an R-class Mercedes-Benz at the car rental point next to the airport. This is a commercial vehicle with a large space and many seats, suitable for their group.

When he came to this historic city, Li Du had to take a stroll here no matter what.

The driver got into the car and said lazily, "Driving in Philadelphia is very boring. The roads here are wide and straight, and there is no challenge at all."

Li Du smiled and said, "I hope that the roads you drive for the rest of your life will not be challenging."

"Then if you give me such a high salary, it will be wasted." The driver smiled lazily.

His domicile was transferred to the United States and he is now a legal resident, but he is not thrilled about it, and after losing his son, he has little passion for life.

The roads in Philadelphia are easy to walk, the bus system is well developed, and the streets are clearly marked. The streets running east-west have specific names, and the streets running north-south are numbered.

Therefore, when walking in Philadelphia, you never have to worry about getting lost.

It is still different for an old driver to drive. After all, the Mercedes-Benz R is a commercial vehicle, which is relatively long, more than five meters long. Philadelphia is one of the largest cities in the United States, and there are many vehicles in the urban area.

Although the road is wide, there are still traffic jams.

Li Du was amazed by the driver's ability to overtake without knowing it.

Overtaking on urban highways is a very annoying thing. People who do this are considered unqualified. After all, overtaking requires frequent lane changes.

But in the hands of the driver, there is no such thing. He always overtakes without knowing it, without making a show. They overtake all the way, and they can always maintain a speed of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour on the road.

A car behind noticed them, and a CRV wanted to follow the commercial vehicle because of its strong horsepower and good flexibility.

As a result, he followed only two blocks away, and with a bang, the CRV collided with a Cadillac!

Li Du didn't give an order, and the driver drove all the way to Malayanko Street.

This is a remote neighborhood in Philadelphia, located in the northwest, is a very dense residential area, with steep hills and a large number of Victorian row houses.

Li Du asked, "Why are we here?"

The driver chewed his gum and said, "Dinner, here are the traditional Philadelphia delicacies."

Malayanko is an Indian name, which means 'the place where we drink'. Li Du didn't know about it. He planned to go to Philadelphia to search for places to eat.

Obviously, the driver had figured this out on the way, and knew his situation very well, so he drove him directly to find a place to eat.

The most famous food in Philadelphia should be the local cheese beef sandwich. There are many shops here that make this kind of sandwich, just like there are many roast duck restaurants in Beijing, China.

This cheap food is famous all over the United States, and Philadelphians love it. Every sandwich shop will follow the old customer route and will try to keep some repeat customers.

Philadelphia has also historically held a sandwich debate contest, in which diners team up to argue for their favorite sandwich shop, and it was reported at the time: 'The debate was so competitive that it would have stunned Bible scholars arguing about Deuteronomy. '

Driving into Marayanko, the driver suggested: "Let's go to the foodist gathering place? I checked it on the plane. This is the most authentic old Philadelphia restaurant. There is a food theme called 'farm to table'. Rich and fresh, all direct from the farm."

Li Du smiled and said, "No problem, just go there."

True to its name, Marayanko is indeed 'where we drink', with crowds and shoulders rubbing shoulders in the old housing estates, where thousands of people seek out taverns and eateries.

In this huge residential area, every open space is occupied by people to hold parties, and the sky is still bright, and it has become extremely noisy.

It is difficult to park in this kind of place, and a large number of cars are like them, driving slowly on the road, looking for parking spaces.

Those who come here by car are tourists or first-timers, and the locals will travel by bicycle. There is a riverside towpath in the city, which is a rare bicycle path in the United States. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and it is a sacred road for bicycle lovers.

However, with an experienced driver driving, Li Du didn't have to worry about parking.

The crowded roadside was full of cars. A pickup truck just drove away, and the owners of several cars in front and behind immediately had their eyes lit up and wanted to snatch it in.

They were just about to turn around and adjust the direction. The old driver turned the steering wheel and shifted gears quickly. The car accelerated and rushed to the parking space at an extremely fast speed, and directly seized it.

Then the front of the car twisted a few times, and the huge commercial vehicle parked easily.

The owners of the cars next to them looked dazed. It was probably the first time they saw someone robbing a parking space so skillfully.

The owner of a Toyota car is a young and strong guy, and there are three people on it. They were very angry when they saw the commercial vehicle taking the parking space, so they pushed the door together and got out of the car angrily. Blind? Didn't see we locked this..."

The door of the commercial vehicle was opened, and besides Li Du, the remaining five seats were filled with tall and burly men, among them were humanoid monsters like Godzilla.

So the boys were speechless.
