Chapter 433: Forrest Shrimp Restaurant

In fact, Eminem was right when he said that. San Francisco can really be said to be China in the Stars and Stripes. A quarter of the population here is Chinese. It is one of the most densely populated areas of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere, second only to New York.
However, the status of the Chinese in San Francisco is much higher than that in New York. It can be said that this is a city controlled by Chinese descent. The mayor here is Chinese-American Li Mengxian, and he has just been re-elected; the two consecutive police chiefs are also Chinese, Fang Yuwen and Liu Boyan, Miss All America runner-up Li Wanqing, who is also of Chinese descent in San Francisco, and even Tian Changlin, president of the world-famous Berkeley University in San Francisco, Also Chinese.
One sentence can describe the status of Chinese in San Francisco: Cantonese can be regarded as one of the official languages ​​of San Francisco. In the movie "Love at First Sight 2000" starring Maggie Cheung and Liming, Maggie Cheung drove a taxi and pulled a Cantonese speaker. , She couldn't understand Cantonese, so she finally found a local policeman in San Francisco as an interpreter, but the foreigner could understand it. . . . . .
This also illustrates the status of Chinese in San Francisco. In San Francisco’s Chinatown, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people gather here. The building is in Chinese style and speaks Chinese language. When I came here, I thought I was in Guangzhou. After so many years of development, San Francisco’s Chinatown has become a must for everyone who comes to San Francisco. The place.
Xiao Peng and the others wanted to leave, but the reporter did not let them go. They surrounded the crowd strictly. A reporter held the microphone in front of Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, I am ESPN reporter Kanter, you Set a new world record this time, and improved the original record by nine days! How did you do it? Is there any secret? Also, why do you want to challenge the world record? According to our survey, you seem to There has never been a record of sailing before."
Xiao Peng threw the USB flash drive in his hand to him: "The answers you want are all here. As for why I chose to break the sailing record? The reason is simple. To commemorate our greatest sailing athlete Guo Chuan in China, we China, since ancient times. Guo Chuan has left us as a great maritime country, but his spirit has always encouraged us. And I also hope that through my actions, more and more Chinese people will be engaged in sailing. I just follow Guo. Chuan's footsteps."
Kanter asked, "Then what do you think of China Sailing in the future?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "It is true that sailing started late in China, but there is nothing that Chinese people can't do! Sooner or later, the world sailing world will be completely shocked by Chinese people! And it won't be too late! "
I have to say that it is good to have celebrities to do business. When Xiao Peng and his team arrived at the Fairmont Heritage Hotel, Xiao Peng was shocked. Is this small four-story building a five-star hotel?
This is probably the smallest five-star hotel Xiao Peng has ever seen, with only 53 rooms, but now this season is not the peak of tourism, so the occupancy rate here is not high, Eminem directly put the top two floors The whole layer is wrapped.
As soon as Xiao Peng entered the hotel, a waiter said to him politely: "Sir, sorry, smoking is prohibited here."
Xiao Peng squeezed out the cigarette from his mouth and looked at Eminem with a puzzled look. Eminem smiled and said, "Don't look at me. The entire San Francisco is banned indoors."
"Then you still let me live here?" Xiao Peng puzzled.
"You know when you enter the room." Eminem said.
After Xiao Peng arrived at the front desk to register, he gave everyone the room card. In this way, there are still many unoccupied rooms, which are cheaper for those celebrity assistants and the like, and this fills the room.
However, Fairmont Heritage Hotel is really a store as its name suggests. From the outside, it's just an ordinary four-story small building, but when you enter the hotel, there is nothing special about it. When I enter the door, it is full of cultural atmosphere: the walls are covered with oil paintings of different periods, coupled with the distinctive furnishings, it makes people feel like they are walking into a museum rather than a hotel. There is no so-called presidential suite here. All the rooms are divided into one-bedroom and two-bedrooms. But when you walk in, you will find that all the daily necessities are readily available, including the kitchen. The feeling of others, but don't look at it like this, the house prices here can not be underestimated, the prices are all over six thousand US dollars.
This is the characteristic of Fairmont Hotel. Speaking of luxury hotels, the first thing people think of is the Hilton Hotel. The reason is that it is widely distributed and there are enough hotels. But among all luxury hotels, Fairmont Hotel must not be underestimated.
There are not many Fairmont hotels, and there are only sixty in the world. But these sixty hotels are all luxury landmark hotels! For example, the famous Peace Hotel in China Shanghai Stock Exchange is a member of Fairmont Hotels.
The characteristic of Fairmont Hotels is: every Fairmont hotel is unique, and guests can discover the distinctive local cultural characteristics of the hotel! Unlike the Hilton Hotel, different countries and regions will find similar things in the future.
The banquet was held in a restaurant called ‘BubbaGumpShrimpCompanyRestaurantMarket’. Here is the advantage of Huaxia: such a long string of English names, translated into five words "Forrest Shrimp Restaurant", you will know by listening to the name, the creativity of this restaurant comes from the Oscar-winning film "Forrest True Story.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Peng seemed to have come to the movie world: a bench was placed at the entrance of the restaurant, exactly the same as the one on which Tom Hanks was chatting with people in the movie "Forrest Gump". On the bench is also fixed A-Gump’s suitcase and its chocolate box in the movie, and there are sculptures of the white sneakers that A-Gump used in the movie on the ground.
Xiao Peng looked very curious. He sat on the bench and just wanted Gina to take a picture of herself, but a man who looked exactly like Tom Hanks walked next to him. He was wearing the same story in the movie. Sitting next to Xiao Peng’s costume, Xiao Peng took a photo with him. Now that’s it, Feng Jianting, Gina and other children went up to take pictures.
Xiao Peng looked at the photos on the phone with joy, and smiled at Bloomberg: "It's amazing. I feel like I'm in the world of movies."
Bloomberg shook his head: "If you really like it, you can ask Tom Hanks to come and eat with you."
"Uh..." Xiao Peng was speechless, and you just asked Tom Hanks when you spoke. Can you still have a good chat? Do you have to show off your wealth?
Walking into the restaurant, Xiao Peng felt the existence of the movie "Forrest Gump" everywhere. The menu on the table was fixed on a ping pong racket, and a small sign was erected on each table, which read " The famous line "RunForrestRun" in Forrest Gump means "Run Forrest Run", which means "StopForrestStop" when turned over. Eminem told him that if you need a waiter, turn the sign to the latter, and the waiter will come over.
The table in the restaurant is also very interesting, with some very philosophical words written, like the table in front of Xiao Peng’s eyes, it says: You can be a stupid person, but don’t do stupid things. . . . . . Isn't this Nima nonsense? On the wall are various stills from "Forrest Gump", as well as souvenirs with characteristics of that era. All in all, this is a very distinctive restaurant.
However, the waiters here are all people who have seen the big scene. So many stars come to eat, and they still serve everyone indifferently. What makes Xiao Peng speechless is that a waiter sits directly next to Xiao Peng and Xiao Peng. We chatted: "Do you remember A-Gump's girlfriend's name?" "Uh...Jenny..." "bingo! Then do you remember A-Gump's favorite sports?" Rugby? No, no, it’s running!" "BINGO! Wow, I don’t see that Chinese people like the movie "Forrest Gump" so much, so can you tell me where they first met? ""... Only ghosts can remember..."
Seeing Xiao Peng's speechless expression, everyone laughed happily.
In fairness, eating here is really cheap, and it is so cheap that Xiao Peng thinks it is a bit too sorry for everyone.
What to eat is also very simple, what are the prawn pasta, fresh prawn pasta, smorgasbord platter, French fries and fried prawns, spicy open back prawns. . . . . . And it really fits the name of the shop, all the dishes have shrimp in it.
Xiao Peng didn't understand at first, why Eminem would arrange to eat here. He didn't expect everyone to praise the deliciousness here. Xiao Peng tasted it, and it was indeed very good, especially the seaweed soup in this hodgepodge platter, it tasted delicious.
Watching Xiao Peng drinking seaweed soup, Kim Kardashian said, "Xiao, you really like this seaweed soup."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "San Francisco's seaweed tastes different from our Huaxia's seaweed. The sea fishy smell of yours seaweed is lighter and more refreshing."
Kendall Jenner was dealing with an open-back shrimp and heard Xiao Peng’s words: "Xiao, I have seen news reports that the fraud problem on your Huaxia side is serious, and food safety is even more of a problem. I heard on your side. Some people use plastic bags to pretend to be seaweed, and others use cotton to pretend to be pork floss. Is it so dangerous for you Chinese to eat?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Please, as a normal person, you must first trust your own judgment and don't be swayed by false news. I admit that China did have food hygiene problems in the past. What about cyanamide, Sudan red, and waste oil? We have been through that era, but when the problem was exposed, food safety became our top priority in China. Plastic bags pretending to be seaweed? How expensive do you think seaweed is? Is it worth the risk of going to jail for fraud? Let's talk about the cotton pretending to be pork floss. People who don't have water in their minds will not believe the authenticity of this matter. Can two things taste the same? Use cotton to pretend to be pork floss? A three-year-old child can tell the truth from the fake! This shows that it is malicious slander. The problem is that Nima has a brain-disabled belief. As modern people, we must not believe in and spread the truth."
