1191. Malayanko (special thanks for everyone's concern)
Just after Christmas, Li Du boarded a flight to Philadelphia the next day.
The auction of the Green Traber Museum is about to be held soon, and he didn't waste much time, so he didn't call friends and took other treasure pickers to go.
His destination is Philadelphia, a city with an important position in American history.
It is located in southeastern Pennsylvania and is the central city of the Delaware Valley metropolitan area. It starts from the Delaware River in the east and extends west to the Scukill River in the west. It is one of the oldest and most historical cities in the United States.
Many people know that Philadelphia played an important role in the War of Independence, but few people know how important it plays: 1790-1800, before the city was established in 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.
However, in the end, this place became the central city against British colonial policies. The industrial facilities built here in Britain became a strong backing for the Washington Army's anti-colonial war.
Li Du has never been to Philadelphia, but is not unfamiliar with Philadelphia. He has been to New York many times. New York is now known as the eldest brother of Philadelphia. The two sides are less than a hundred miles away.
Of course, Philadelphia people do not agree with the status of New York. Before the nineteenth century, New York was still a younger city that developed after Philadelphia. At that time, the cultural, commercial and industrial center of America was Philadelphia.
Li Du has the habit of learning about local history, economy and culture before attending the auction, which helps to increase his understanding of goods in the warehouse.
When the plane landed, he rented an R-class Mercedes-Benz directly at the rental point next to the airport. This is a business car with large space and many seats, which is suitable for them and their group.
When Li Du came to this historical city, he had to stroll around here no matter what.
The driver got into the car and said lazily: "It's boring to drive in Philadelphia. The roads here are wide and straight, and there is no challenge at all."
Li Du smiled and said, "I hope that the road you drive for the rest of your life is not challenging."
"Then you will be wasted if you give me such a high salary." The driver smiled lazily.
His household registration was transferred to the United States and he is now a legal resident, but he is not excited about it. After losing his son, he has no passion for life.
The roads in Philadelphia are easy to walk, the bus system is well developed, the streets are marked clearly, the streets that run east and west have specific names, and the streets that run north and south are numbered.
So, you never have to worry about falling in Philadelphia.
Veteran drivers drive differently. After all, Mercedes-Benz R is a business car, which is relatively long, more than five meters long. Philadelphia is a big city in the United States, and there are many vehicles in the city.
Although the roads are wide, there are still traffic jams.
Drivers can always overtake without realizing it, and their ability to take advantage of the situation makes Li Du amazed.
Overtaking on the road in the city is an upsetting thing. People who do this are considered to be incompetent, after all, they have to overtake frequently.
But this is not the case in the driver's hands. He always overtakes without realizing it. He keeps up with the flow and can always maintain a speed of 60 or 70 kilometers per hour on the road.
A car behind noticed them. A CRV relied on its strong horsepower and good flexibility and wanted to follow the business car.
As a result, he went out with only two streets, and with a "bang", Crv collided with a Cadillac!
Li Du did not give the order, and the driver drove all the way and drove directly to the Malayanke neighborhood.
This is a remote neighborhood in Philadelphia, located in the northwest, 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 the gum and said, "Eat, there are traditional Philadelphia food here."
Marayanko is an Indian name, meaning 'where we drink'. Li Du didn't know about this. He was originally planning to go to Philadelphia to search for a place to eat.
Obviously, the driver had figured out these things on the way and knew his situation very well. He drove him to find a place for delicious food.
The most famous food in Philadelphia should be the local cheese and beef sandwich. There are many shops making this sandwich, just like there are many roast duck shops in Beijing, China.
This cheap food is well-known throughout the United States, and Philadelphia people love it very much. Every sandwich shop takes the old customer route and will try to catch some repeat customers.
Historically, Philadelphia also held a sandwich debate contest: Diners teamed up to argue for their favorite sandwich shops, and reported that: ‘The competition for debate is extremely fierce enough to make the Bible scholars who are arguing about Deuteronomy.’
When I drove into Malayanko, the driver suggested: "We go to the gathering place of dietitians? I checked on the plane. This is the most authentic Philadelphia restaurant. There is a diet theme called 'farm to table'. The ingredients are rich and fresh, and they are purchased directly from the farm."
Li Du smiled and said, "No problem, just go there."
Malayanko is truly a 'place where we drink'. The old residential area is crowded with people, and thousands of people are looking for taverns and restaurants here.
In this huge residential area, every open space is occupied by people to hold a party. It was still dawn and it became extremely noisy.
It is difficult to park in such places, and a large number of cars are driving slowly on the road, looking for parking spaces, just like them.
Those who drive here are tourists or newcomers, and locals can travel by bicycle. There is a riverside fiber path in the city, which is one of the few bicycle paths in the United States. The scenery along the way is beautiful and it is a temple-level road for bicycle enthusiasts.
However, with an old driver driving, Li Du doesn't have to worry about parking issues. The other party's ability to take advantage of the situation makes him full of confidence.
The crowded roadside was full of cars. As soon as a pickup truck drove away, the owners of the front and rear immediately had their eyes lit up and wanted to snatch them in.
They were just about to turn around and adjust the direction. The veteran driver turned the steering wheel and quickly changed gears. The car accelerated and rushed towards the parking space. It was extremely fast and it was directly seized.
Then the front of the car twisted a few times, and the huge business car easily stopped in.
The owners of several cars next to him were dull and probably the first time I saw someone who could grab a parking space skillfully.
The owner of a Toyota car was a young and strong man with three people on it. He was very angry when he saw the business car snatching the parking space. He pushed open the car door and got out of the car angrily, pointing at the business car and scolded: "Fa Keyou, are you blind? I didn't see that we have locked this..."
The door of the business car was pushed open, except for Li Du, the remaining five were tall and burly men, including human-shaped beasts like Godzilla.
So the young men couldn't speak.
**** Everyone saw the comments and blessings in the chapters in the book review area. Thank you very much for your concern. How lucky you can make so many friends through the novel! I have already returned from the hospital. After reading it, the experts didn’t dare to make a conclusion. Let the bullet come back and observe first, observe for a month. During this period, there was an acute change and then contact him for a more comprehensive inspection. I can only wait and see the situation. I complained here, I latch a number for 100 yuan, and I was sent in less than five minutes to face the communication. The bullet was really wronged. Many questions have not been raised yet, and many questions are still in my heart. I was sent away like this. I was also drunk!
Chapter completed!
