Chapter 34 Chinese Restaurant

This was a timely victory. After the game, all the players of the Timberwolves breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that the burden on their heads during the six-game losing streak was lifted. There were bursts of strange screams, waving the towel, and this fellow Gossman danced proudly, pause after pause, like a robot.
After laughing and playing for a while, the crowd gradually subsided and left the team locker room one by one. After Zheng Ke tidied up his clothes, he was the last one to leave the locker room. It was already dark outside the arena, and all the lights in the city were turned on. After Zheng Ke said hello to old Henry, he rode his own bicycle and wobbled towards the apartment.
Although it was already dark, there were still quite a lot of pedestrians on the streets of Apolis City. Along the way, pedestrians kept smiling and greeting Zheng Ke.As the current main player of the Timberwolves, Zheng Ke has gradually gained a certain reputation in this small city. Fans often come to ask for autographs and group photos when he is walking alone.I remember that at the beginning, Zheng Ke was a little embarrassed and at a loss, but now he can calmly face the enthusiastic fans. I have to say, this proves Zheng Ke's growth.
Zheng Ke originally wanted to go back to the apartment to rest, but it was still early. After these two and a half hours of exercise, Zheng Ke felt a little hungry. Thinking of the Chinese restaurant Qin Yue mentioned, Zheng Ke decided to go to that Chinese restaurant Solve the problem of the five internal organs temple.

Just after Zheng Ke changed his route and rode his bicycle for more than ten minutes, Zheng Ke suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing in front of him not far away, he hurried to catch up and said hello
"Hey, Young Master Du, why didn't you go back to rest so late?" Zheng Ke felt like he had asked a stupid question after the words fell.

But Durant, who was wandering on the road, obviously didn't think so, he quickly responded with a smile: "Hello, Zheng, I'm here for the first time in Minneapolis, so I want to go shopping more, you took a taxi tonight Awesome!"

After Zheng Ke heard Durant's praise, he laughed and said: "How could you, you almost turned the tables! You are much better than me, and you will definitely become a superstar in the future!"

Durant smiled shyly, and asked, "Are you going home?"

Zheng Ke said: "No, I'm a little hungry, I want to go to a Chinese restaurant to find something to eat, do you want to go together?"

Zheng Ke made a mistake. He thought that the shy Durant would refuse his invitation, but the seemingly shy Durant agreed with a smile: "Okay!"

So the two walked and chatted, and went to this legendary Chinese restaurant.

Durant is a very humble and hard-working person who speaks well, and he feels that Zheng Ke is also a very hard-working player (from the second-round pick to the team's main force), so even though they were fighting wits all night, after the end, Durant Rand still has a little admiration for Zheng Ke. After meeting Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke was able to invite him to dinner. He regarded himself as a friend, so Durant was very happy, and even the haze caused by the seven-game losing streak disappeared. scattered a lot
Twenty or ten minutes later, the two came to South Street and finally found this Chinese restaurant.

This Chinese restaurant is located on the street at the intersection of South Street and occupies a very wide area. The bright lights inside can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows outside the restaurant.There are two pillars supporting the building outside the restaurant. The pillars are wrapped in golden local tyrant gold and carved with the pattern of Chinese dragons, a bit like the royal pillars in the Forbidden City.There is a huge billboard above the restaurant, with the four Chinese characters "Chinese Taste" written on it, which seems to be the name of this Chinese restaurant.

"Wow," Durant couldn't help admiring: "This restaurant is so beautifully decorated!"

"What's so good about it!" Zheng Ke walked up the steps first, then turned his head and said to Durant, "Next time I will take you to China and see a Chinese restaurant that is more domineering and beautiful than this restaurant!"

"Okay, okay~~" Durant strode forward, nodding like a chicken pecking rice.

The two walked into the restaurant, which immediately caused a commotion in the restaurant.

There are many Chinese in the restaurant, and many young people among them are fans of Zheng Ke. Of course, there are also many who love to watch the NBA. They are not very unfamiliar with this year's No. [-] pick Durant. Signed a group photo, the two spent a lot of time to get it all done.

After the crowd left, the two found a smiling man standing in front of them.

This man has a shiny bald head, is about thirty years old, wears a neat suit, and has a tall figure of about 1.8 meters.There is a harmless smile on the whole face, wearing a pair of the most popular black-rimmed glasses.The most impressive thing is his pair of flying sword eyebrows, embellishing his whole body to show his sharpness.

He took a step forward and handed Zheng Ke a business card: "Welcome to "Taste of China", I am the store manager, please take care of me!"

Zheng Ke took a closer look, and found that the business card was in English, and in the blank space behind the business card, there were three Chinese characters signed——Zeng Xiaojun
Zheng Ke couldn't hold back, and almost bit off his tongue with every bite. This name really makes people laugh.Durant didn't know the tone of it. When he saw that this was the boss, he said anxiously, "Boss Zeng, arrange a seat for us quickly, let's eat!"

"Zeng Xiaojun still had the same smile, and said: "Mr. Zheng and Mr. Du are both my favorite players. As the first time to come to China, and as the first time to meet the two, I think that I would like to invite you to have a meal." Authentic Chinese cuisine is the way of hospitality. "

After finishing speaking, he turned his body sideways and guided with one hand: "You two, this way please."

"Really?" Both Zheng Ke and Durant touched the back of their heads, a little embarrassed, Zheng Ke said: "Don't do this, brother, it's our first time here, why did you let me spend money?"

Zeng Xiaojun waved his hand boldly and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, let's just make friends!"

While the two were talking, they came to the small private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

The small private room on the second floor is covered with warm-colored carpets, and there is a small wooden round table and four small wooden chairs inside.The space is not big, but it gives people a warm feeling. The light is slightly dim, but it sets off the environment even more.

After the three of them sat down to order, they began to chat.

"Brother Zeng, where are you from? How long have you been in America?" Zheng Ke asked Zeng Xiaojun.

Zeng Xiaojun obviously didn't know other meanings of Brother Zeng. He heard Zheng Ke calling him Brother Zeng, and his smile became brighter: "I am from Chongqing. I have been in the United States for a while, probably eight or nine years!"

Zheng Ke said with a smile: "I have only been here for more than a year, and I am not very used to living here."

Zeng Xiaojun said in a doubtful tone: "You are already an NBA star and you are not used to the life here? You should live comfortably and enjoy it, right?"

When Durant heard it, he immediately retorted as if he was pouring bitter water: "No way, you don't know the pain in the NBA, all kinds of training, all kinds of competition, there is pressure inside the team, and there is also pressure from the outside world."

After hearing this, Zheng Ke also sighed: "Yes, in fact, people suffer in this world, and all walks of life have their own pain and difficulties."

When Zeng Xiaojun heard it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It doesn't look like you could say it at the age of 19, but it seems like you said it at our age."

Zheng Ke wiped his sweat, laughed dryly, and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm just talking casually, I can't take it seriously, I can't take it seriously."

"Taste of China" has a variety of dishes. Zheng Keduo ordered spicy Sichuan dishes, which made Durant enjoy the refreshing feeling of spicy and spicy. While rolling his tongue, he raised his thumb and said, "It's amazing! I I used to seldom go to Chinese restaurants because I couldn’t use chopsticks. I didn’t expect such delicious food, and I will go there more often in the future! It’s even better than my favorite crab legs!”

"Of course it's delicious. After eating these dishes, I feel that I can easily beat the acquired Bucks team!"

"Me too!"

"Ha ha ha ha."
