Chapter 1198: Achun

"It costs a lot to eat outside. You will wait for a while. I will give you the food below. Or do you think that you are accustomed to American food and start to dislike my craft?" Although I earned more than two hundred dollars yesterday, I returned to Guo Yan counted for a long time, but was so excited that she didn't fall asleep for a long time, but she still couldn't bear the breakfast money.
"Come on, I'll calculate the account for you!" Shen Long didn't argue with her, but counted her fingers. "Even if it's below, even wash the vegetables and boil the noodles, plus the dish shabu-shabu, we How much is half an hour? If I could go to the Lincoln Art Center for half an hour early, it would be calculated according to yesterday ’s standards, and half an hour would probably make twenty dollars. Do you think we can eat twenty dollars for breakfast? How do you think this account is more cost-effective? "
Guo Yan thought for a long time, "It seems that this is really the case." Nowadays, people basically go out to eat when they have something to do. It has to be a big deal. Normally, they do it in their own homes. No one will. Think of this.
I ’m afraid they ca n’t imagine that in two or thirty years, the young people will basically not cook at home. They will eat in the restaurant three times in the morning, evening, and evening. Sometimes they are too lazy to pull the phone, and the takeaway is delivered to the door. ; This is actually the result of economic development leading to refinement of the division of labor, and the United States has long been on this path.
It wasn't until KFC that Guo Yan responded, "I said that's not the case? We have to spend time in line to get meals? Can we save half an hour?"
"But we don't have to cook or wash the dishes anymore?" Shen Long said, taking the gap between drinking chicken's legs while drinking fat man's happy water. "Besides, how hard it is for you to cook and wash the dishes. It used to be impossible. Now that you have come to America So that you can work harder and less! "
Guo Yan's nose is a little sour. Wang Qiming attaches great importance to his pair of cello players. She used to do cooking and washing dishes at home, but now she is inevitably moved when she hears such words. Murmured, "It's okay, otherwise, wait until I come back tonight to cook some porridge and make some cold dishes and put them in the refrigerator. I'll get up tomorrow morning and heat them up; put the tableware in the refrigerator after eating and come back at night Wash again. "
"So you are too hard!" Shen Long raised her hand. "Your hands are playing the violin, not for cooking and washing dishes. We are busy working day and night, and we are tired enough at night, you have to toss At this late hour, can I stay there for a long time? "
After being afraid of Guo Yan ’s insistence, Shen Long quickly added another sentence,
It will also affect the performance of the daytime performance, which is not worth the loss.
He remembered the situation of Guo Yangang who had just come to the United States in the original book. At night, I have to go to the factory to drive the forklift, and there is almost no time to rest, but now that I am here, I definitely can't let you do this again.
Guo Yan opened her mouth and finally said nothing. She just silently took a piece of chicken wings from her dinner plate and placed it on Shen Long ’s side. Shen Long smiled and gnaped the chicken wings in two cleans. , Guo Yan smiled.
"Mr. Wang, Ms. Guo, look forward to your performance very much." Waiting for yesterday's performance venue, Robert and Boris warmly came to say hello, they even prepared chairs for them in advance.
Guo Yan and Shen Long warmed up first and pulled a few etudes. In the process, Guo Yan also gradually calmed down and initially adapted to the environment of street performances. Then the beautiful melody of "Liang Zhu" sounded again near the Lincoln Art Center. .
This song Guo Yan and Wang Qiming have collaborated many times. As long as she closed her eyes slightly and ignored the surrounding audience, she felt as if she had returned to the concert hall in Beijing. The familiar melody was played naturally. It was just that she lacked the accompaniment of instruments such as flute, brass, and woodwind, which made her feel a little regret. The two people couldn't fully exert all the charm of this song. The complete "Liu Zhu" is not just a violin.
After more than 20 minutes, there was a warm applause again. Seeing the gradually increasing coins and banknotes in the piano box, Guo Yan felt a completely different kind of satisfaction from the performance in the concert hall. The feedback is more direct.
"You go to rest first, I change a piece of music, and then you play solo, then pull" Jasmine "." Shen Long urged, and then began to pull Dvořák's "B minor cello concerto".
But at the end of this performance, the applause was far less enthusiastic than when playing "Liu Zhu", and the gains were not so much. The audience here appreciates Dvořák too many times, and his performance is definitely not enough. So good.
But when it was Guo Yanla ’s
Jasmine
, the audience ’s response was much warmer. For this piece, the American audience is not unfamiliar, because
Jasmine
is in the famous opera
Turandot
For a while.
Puccini, the author of "Turandot" and a famous Italian composer, was very interested in Chinese culture. At that time, China implemented a closed-door policy. A friend who was an ambassador in China gave him a music box, and the music in it is a folk song that Chinese people know well "Jasmine", Puccini liked it very much after listening, and then wrote the tone into the opera "Turandot" with Chinese background.
In this way, Shen Long and Guo Yan started a new life in New York. They got up every morning to perform at the Lincoln Art Center ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and rested in the basement back to the slums at night.
The daily income is more or less, but it is countless times stronger than going to the restaurant to wash dishes and wash dishes; after about half a month, they went to the aunt ’s house and returned the nine hundred dollars to the aunt.
My aunt was a little surprised when she saw it, and at the same time a little bit lost, perhaps because Guo Yan's behavior was beyond his control.
After eating lunch from the aunt's house, Guo Yan asked, "What are we doing now? It seems too late to go home and pick up the instrument and go to the Lincoln Art Center?"
"We haven't rested for half a month, and it's time for us to take a holiday. We'll go to a place that we haven't been to, and then find a Chinese restaurant to eat. These days I eat American food, but it hurts me "Shen Long said.
Guo Yan did not refuse this time, because she also missed Chinese food a little; so after a few hours of shopping, they came to a restaurant called Xiangyuanlou, prepared to eat here, and told the boss by the way, aunt gave They introduced the work here. Although they did not come, they should say hello.
Entering inside, Shen Long saw the proprietress Achun at first glance.
