Chapter 449: Responsible police

The biggest difference between Los Angeles and other cities is that there are not so many high-rise buildings. On the contrary, they are almost all two-story wooden villas, which is completely different from other prosperous cities.
This is not because Los Angeles is poor, but because Southern California is an earthquake-prone area, and it is not suitable for high-rise buildings at all. This is the same as the Wa country. Compared with Huaxia, the tall buildings in downtown Los Angeles are far worse. But in such an earthquake zone, it is really good to be able to build it like this.
Los Angeles has a standard Mediterranean climate, which is called a sun, and the roads are full of palm trees. What Xiao Peng looked at was straightforward. If the Chinese profiteers came here, it would be all money!
Don't underestimate the ability of Chinese profiteers. When it comes to the speculation ability of Chinese profiteers, it is really unmatched.
There has been a period of literary craze in China, and this is really the best time to watch profiteers perform.
For example, Bodhi. The so-called Bodhi seed is not the fruit of the Bodhi tree. Ding Fubao, a talented scholar in the Guangxu year, clearly stated in his book: "China only has the Tiantai Mountain, which is called Tiantai Bodhi." In ancient times, most of the Buddha beads were peach or jujube pits. , Sapindus and the like, the rich use jade jewelry.
But when it comes to Chinese profiteers, this is different. The bodhi seeds have become seeds and pits that can be worn into beads. In fact, this is not wrong. So, aren't sapindus, peach pits, and jujube pits all seeds? How do these things make money? You have to find a new gimmick!
So the profiteers began to get busy: the pit of the round fruit Duying tree has grains and is strong, yes, starting today, you will be Vajra Bodhi! Because the ovary of Yuanguo Duying is generally divided into five compartments, but there are also special four petals, six petals and seven petals. Hype, the price must be higher!
The fruit of the traditional Chinese medicine Huangteng is quite strong, and there are spots after removing the skin? Yes, it's pretty, you're called Xingyue Bodhi. Are they all small? The bigger the more valuable! One millimeter doubled!
The jujube core of this Rhamnaceae jujube tree is so round? And eyes? If you are done, you will be called Fengyan Bodhi.
The most ridiculous thing is the crocodile fruit in Africa, which is not used to feed animals. In China, it changed: Thousand Eyes Bodhi. I used to call a fire.
Anyway, it's easy to hype, spend a little money to make a Wikipedia, and just take a few decades to bloom, and some people will believe that it will bloom after a few decades. Then the price would go up.
These are nothing. In order to make money, the profiteers are doing their best, all kinds of excavations, a sip of Chinese medicine, and a change, "Tianzhu Bodhi". The jujube nucleus of the wild jujube is transformed into a ‘five-eyed six-pass Bodhi’. Sea red beans? The name was changed to "Red Heart Bodhi", as long as the name was changed, the value would skyrocket. There are now at least two or three hundred species of Bodhi seeds.
Southerners can do business, and the green belt next to the road is fully utilized. Many tropical plants have fruits, that's all money! Especially the fruits of palm trees, there are many different kinds of palm trees, and they look different. Once a tree is hyped, it is endless wealth.
For example, sugar palm is a tree species used for afforestation and greening. The leaves are also good for making hemp rope. They are used for greening. Now it is fine. I directly renamed Baiyu Bodhi. The seed on a tree is made into a hundred or eighty string of Buddha beads. problem.
The common foxtail coconut along the southern road is directly called Qiansi Bodhi. Unfortunately, the output is too large and the price is not high. Don't be afraid, anyway, it's all for nothing. What's more ridiculous is the Bay Leaf Brown, which is a good thing linked to Buddhism. Back then, the Buddhist scriptures were written on the Bay Leaf Brown, called the Bay Leaf Sutra. But now that science and technology are advanced, it is paper and computer. Who specializes in copying scriptures with its leaves? So his fruit was used. According to legend, the ‘Bodhi Root’ appeared as soon as it bloomed in 60 years and died after flowering.
Some people say that ‘Bodhi root’ is cheap, and a string of Buddhist beads is only a few dozen dollars. If he sees the bay-leaf palm tree, he will know that this is also a huge profit. The fruit of a bay-leaf palm tree is enough for you to wear a thousand or eight hundred strings of Buddhist beads. This is just a tree. tree!
Xiao Peng can only shrug his shoulders and laugh without saying anything for those who spend high prices on'Bodhi seeds'. They are just seeds. This year, something that will grow for the next year, the price cannot continue to be speculated. To be more ugly, those antique Buddhist beads that have been handed down for centuries are either made of jade or made of bone and peach. Has anyone seen these messy ‘Bodhi’s’ handed down in ancient times?
But if those profiteers come to Los Angeles, they will definitely find that wealth is everywhere here. All tropical and subtropical plants, what is that not money?
Look at the golden wasabi tree by the road, the seeds are almost dragged to the ground and no one picks them up? This tree can make at least three hundred strings of "Purple Golden Rat Bodhi", right? On this street alone, Xiao Peng saw at least fifty golden wasabi, and at least several thousand on the way to Chinatown! How much is this.
Short spike fishtail sunflower? This thing is a tricky artifact! The legendary Itchy Fruit is it. Want to make the boat of friendship turn over? Very simple, pick an itchy fruit, cut a small mouth to squeeze out a little juice, who wants to toss someone to give him some, not to mention the boat of friendship, you come to the Titanic of love and directly capsize.
That taste is really sour and refreshing, basically it refers to where to hit, who to wipe mad, and it is all kinds of piercing itching on the skin, no matter how you scratch or wash it, it is of no use.
For children who grew up in the South, if someone took out the fruit, it would be no less than the first use of nuclear weapons. As soon as the itch comes out, things that can make headlines in the newspapers will happen, such as love couples smashing away, old friends fighting, and harmonious roommates turning against each other.
In a word: I went to the tropics and saw clusters of purple-red grape-like fruits growing on the big coconut palm trees. Don't touch them.
But others dare not touch it, and profiteers dare to touch it, peeling off the skin and washing off the flesh, and the "Silver Thread Bodhi" was born. Fortunately, Xiao Peng didn't see many of these trees along the way, that is, hundreds of them.
There are also oil palm trees in the green belt. There are more things. After all, its economic value is too high. The output of palm oil per mu is two to three hundred kilograms, which is five or six times higher than the output of peanut oil! It produces ten times higher oil than soybeans! This is the ruthless guy known as the ‘World Oil King’, can he grow less? Whether it is specially planted or afforested, you can use it!
And this thing is easy to feed, it grows up there, and the big leaves are beautiful, so the most common tree in Los Angeles is it, almost everywhere. Cleaning up the seeds of oil palm can be troublesome for cleaners, but it is a cart by cart.
But if the profiteers see it, they will never feel troubled: this is all lucky pig Bodhi! It's all money!
One thing that surprised Xiao Peng was that in Los Angeles, driving was a good thing. Unlike the serious traffic jams in New York, Xiao Peng and his party arrived in Los Angeles' Chinatown soon.
Xiao Peng got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the Chinatown in front of him. Xiao Peng instantly felt that he was back in China and came to a small commodity wholesale market. It was the same two-story building as it was 20 years ago, with Chinese people everywhere.
"Zhen Nima is kind. Which town or village are we in China?" Feng Jianting exclaimed when he got off the bus. "It's really far worse than San Francisco's Chinatown." Xiao Peng agreed with Feng Jianting.
The children got out of the car with a look of excitement: "Dad, take us to see."
Xiao Peng nodded and asked for the driver's phone number to keep in touch. These cars are arranged by the hotel and cost five hundred dollars a day, and you can go anywhere on call.
Xiao Peng just wanted to take the child to Chinatown, but was stopped by a policeman. Without a word, the police directly gave Xiao Peng and Feng Jianting a one-chapter ticket, each fined 50 meters.
Feng Jianting was stunned: "Police officer, why fine? There is a problem with parking? Then we should not be fined?"
Xiao Peng was also dumbfounded: "We didn't smoke indoors, why should we be fined?"
Yes, Los Angeles is also a smoke-free city, and indoor smoking is prohibited. Of course, no one cares about you when you smoke at home? The key is that public places are absolutely non-smoking. But like San Francisco, it's okay to smoke on the road.
The policeman looked at the two of them: "You just smoked in the car, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded. It's illegal to smoke in the car. Why should a fine be imposed?
The police looked at several children and said, "According to California law, adults are prohibited from smoking in the car when there are children under 18 in the car! If you have objections to my ticket, you can go to court to appeal. ."
"Uh. Forget it, I have no objection. I will pay the ticket." Xiao Peng directly admitted.
As long as children are involved in the Stars and Stripes, you won’t get any sympathy from the judge in the court, and you will even increase the punishment. The judge will stand on the moral high ground and despise you, which is really shameful and fine.
Seeing Xiao Peng's good attitude, the Star-Tangled Nation police smiled and told Xiao Peng intimately: "This law is applicable throughout the Star-Tangled Nation. You should pay attention to it in the future!"
Xiao Peng accepted the ticket and nodded: "Thank you."
The police had a good attitude, and smiled and waved goodbye to Xiao Peng. Feng Jianting said angrily: "Isn't it said that the Xingtiao Country is not safe? Isn't this the police are very serious and responsible, but the attitude is really good."
Xiao Peng replied: "This is the characteristic of the police in Los Angeles. There are too many crimes here, especially with more guns. The police are also human. Can they not be afraid of death? They dare not control the gangs, and they dare not let others talk. I took the taxpayer’s money and didn’t work, so in Los Angeles, the police have the strictest control over these minor matters, such as illegal parking and running red lights. The control is the strictest."
"Isn't that the job of the traffic police?" Feng Jianting's eyes widened.
"In the United States, the police are traffic police. You say they have a good attitude. Of course, who knows if the person you are punishing is a gang member? Besides, we respect him and admit mistakes with a good attitude. They must be good, you If you try to follow the police against you? It is a felony to provoke the authority of the police in Stars and Stripes! People really dare to shoot you. Don’t look at how many people have been killed by American police in recent years? Do you think it’s just racial discrimination? You are too naive. Are those old black lamps fuel-efficient? This is not Huaxia. You can say something cruel if you were caught in Huaxia. Here the police arrest you and say cruel things. Try it, either a baton or a gun, yourself Choose one!"
Xiao Peng looked at Feng Jianting, who was stunned by the side, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think about it, let's go shopping!"
