Chapter 3

Jimmy's family lives in a community three blocks away from Wang Kai's rented apartment. This community has been very old for a long time. The people living here are the bottom of the middle class and can't survive hunger. There are many such people in the United States.

Although the house has been very old for a long time, it is always better than Wang Kai's doghouse apartment. Wang Kai cleaned up his things, went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.

Jimmy's father is a taxi driver. In the past, he drove a box car to transport goods. Later, he became a taxi driver. It's also very hard to go to work every day and go home at night. Jimmy's mother divorced Jimmy's father when Jimmy was young. This kind of thing is very normal in contract marriage countries in Europe and America.

When they see it, they live together. If they don't like it or conflict with their own ideas, they will divorce. Therefore, Jimmy has not been greatly affected, but Jimmy's father has suffered. The family has lost a source of income and can only give up the delivery job and find a taxi driver with a slightly higher income. Even so, Just barely make a living. When Jimmy was a little older, he would do odd jobs, deliver newspapers and take out food.

Fortunately, Jimmy's father is not the kind of man who decadent in a little setback. He won't drink and scold Jimmy. Jimmy had a happy childhood. Now Jimmy's father has found a new girlfriend. Although it's not very good-looking, it's also kind.

"Hey, Kai, long time no see."

In the evening, after Jimmy's father followed his girlfriend home, he saw Wang Kai busy in the kitchen and said hello. He and Wang Kai were also very familiar. He knew that this was his stupid son's best friend in school. It was also because of Wang Kai that his son did not become a friendless freak.

"Long time no see, Ben, Kelly."

Wang Kai turned to say hello to Jimmy's father and his girlfriend. Jimmy's father's name is Ben Akins and his girlfriend's name is Kelly brown. He is a salesperson who works at the supermarket counter. When he gets off work every night, Ben will pick her up. There is a marriage certificate between them. Kelly already lives at Jimmy's house.

"Kay, are you cooking? I didn't know you had this skill."

Kelly put down her bag and went to the kitchen to cook, but when she saw Wang Kai wearing an apron and a spatula, she said curiously. She also knew that this was her boyfriend's best friend. She had come home to eat before, but she didn't know that Wang Kai could cook.

"Of course, you and could have enjoyed a big Chinese meal today."

Wang Kai said that although there are many Chinese restaurants in the United States, the prices are not cheap. Of course, there are cheap ones, but they only provide fried noodles or fried rice, that is, the paper box often appears in movies and television. There are also lucky cookies, that is, a crispy cake wrapped with a small note, on which some soul chicken soup or lucky numbers are written, This is not the product of China at all.

"Wow, I really want to try it. Ben often said to take me to Chinese cuisine, but he hasn't gone yet."

Kelly is not familiar with Wang Kai. She doesn't know whether Wang Kai can cook or not, but it's hard to doubt that Wang Kai is already in the kitchen. However, seeing that everything in the kitchen is still in order, she can only choose to trust Wang Kai.

"Why didn't you eat Chinese food? Didn't we eat it the day before yesterday? Kai, what are you doing? It's so delicious. I'm really looking forward to today's dinner."

Ben took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and said. When he came to the kitchen, he asked about the aroma, which made Ben believe in Wang Kai's craft.

"Is fried rice also Chinese cuisine? Although you bought it in a Chinese restaurant, you are too coping. If it wasn't Kai, I don't know when I would be able to eat Chinese cuisine."

Kelly gave Ben a blank look. If fried rice is what she said about Chinese cuisine, she can eat Chinese cuisine every day.

"Kelly, you're wrong about Ben. In China, fried rice is also an advanced cooking skill, and can even be used as a certificate of chef's skill."

Wang Kai smiled and understood what the situation was. Ben gave Kelly Chinese food, and the result was packed fried rice. It was really smart, but it was also difficult. After all, eating Chinese food is not cheap. Ben had to support his family.

"Well, let him pass. Kai, are you making scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I know. It's authentic Chinese cuisine."

Kelly stood and watched Wang Kai cook, then said in surprise.

"Yes, it's scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It's the most common domestic dish in Chinese cuisine. If you don't mind, you and could have cleaned up the table and eaten right away."

Wang Kai quickly flipped the tomatoes and eggs in the frying pan.

"No problem, Ben. Come and clean the table."

Kelly said, since you don't cook, do some housework. By the way, call Ben who has been sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching TV.

"Oh, come on, Jimmy. Go get some bottles of cold beer and make an exception for you today."

Ben stood up, helped Kelly clean up the table and asked Jimmy to bring beer. In the United States, there are strict rules for drinking. The minimum age is 21.

You should know that the minimum age for driving test in the United States can be 16, a little more than 18, and marriage can also be 18. Even in New Hampshire, men can be 14 and women can be 13. Of course, this requires the consent of parents and the permission of the court.

Moreover, the age at which the United States joins the army and fights is also 18, that is, after graduating from high school, they can join the army and go to the battlefield. This is the choice of many American young people. Who makes the salary of the American army not low.

Therefore, there is a joke that wine is more difficult to deal with than the enemy and his wife. Today, in the face of Wang Kai's cooking, he made an exception to let Jimmy drink beer, but he must not drink enough. Otherwise, if others find out, he will lose his right to raise children once he is reported. Even if young people who drink before the age of 21 are all, parents can't dare such a thing.

Wang Kai prepared three dishes in the evening, including sweet and sour ribs, boiled meat slices and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The staple food is rougamo.

"Wow, it's so rich. Can we start?"

Kelly looked at the food on the table and asked excitedly.

"You can enjoy it."

Wang Kai said with a smile, hoping that the three original Chinese dishes can meet their appetite. You know, many Chinese restaurants have improved the taste of the original Chinese cuisine, thicken it, put sugar and so on, and improved the taste into the taste loved by Europe and the United States, forgetting the root.
