Chapter 348 Return to Hometown
Daniel Herrera stood alone on Nicholas Sanchez Street, surrounded by a crowd of people, and he seemed not abrupt at all. Although his eyes were different from others, those who kept rushing for their livelihood did not have time to stop and turn their heads to look at Herrera.
Herrera felt that she hadn't been here for a long time, since he sold his house to a real estate agency.
He knew that this place had become a Chinatown and an immigration area.
He once swore that he would never set foot on this street again in his life.
Because this reminds him of his failure.
He lost the house his father gave him and his job.
But today, he stood here, standing at the door of his house, and now it has become a Chinese restaurant.
really……
Wherever Chinese people go, they seem to never forget to open restaurants.
Herrera looked at the restaurant in front of her. The front desk was decorated with exotic style. She could no longer find the shadow of the house before. Only the attic part could still vaguely find his past memories.
Why do you suddenly want to come back and take a look?
Maybe it's because I want to say the most thorough farewell to myself in the past.
That stubborn and unreasonable self.
Actually, he should have come here long ago, but he has been unable to make up his mind.
Just as she was stunned at the entrance of Herrera's restaurant, a figure suddenly rushed out from inside. She was about to run into Herrera who was caught off guard. However, the figure suddenly came to a sudden striking moment in front of him, and then changed direction very quickly, and was surging to the left, almost rubbing his body around, then ran away without stopping, leaving only one sentence: "Sorry--!"
"Ajin, please slow down, look at you almost..." A woman chased out of the restaurant and shouted in words Herrera couldn't understand.
That should be Chinese.
Herrera was indeed startled. When he turned around to find the figure, he only saw a back wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey.
A Chinese kid wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey?
No, maybe it was a Chinese-Espanyol kid wearing Atletico Madrid.
When he withdrew his gaze, he found that the Chinese woman was still standing at the door and looked at him hesitantly. Seeing him looking over, he asked in stuttering Spanish: "Sir, do you want to have a meal?"
Herrera didn't think so at first, but after the lady sent an invitation, he suddenly changed his mind and nodded: "Yes. Do you only have Chinese food here?"
"Yes, sir, this is a Chinese restaurant." The Chinese woman explained.
“But I’ve never had Chinese food…”
"Then I can recommend our signature dish, pineapple guar, I believe you will definitely like it!"
※※※
When Herrera sat down in this Chinese restaurant, he looked around and found that the decoration was very Chinese-style - although he had never been to China, he had also seen some Chinese characteristics, especially after Gao Zheng came to Atletico Madrid, there were more and more Chinese elements.
For example, every year during the Chinese Lunar New Year, Atletico Madrid's official website will suddenly change its appearance. Atletico Madrid players will also take videos of red paper with Chinese characters written on it and put them online. The red paper is said to be called "Spring Festival couplets", which are things that Chinese people post at the door during the New Year.
Also, Atletico Madrid players will learn to speak Chinese and then record videos to send blessings to Chinese fans.
This is all because of Gao Zheng.
At first, he was particularly resistant to such things. He always felt that the players he loved were giving Chinese capital a toe.
Of course, he doesn't think so anymore...
There are many red papers with Chinese characters written in this Chinese restaurant, and red lanterns are hung, which are typical Chinese elements.
Many of the customers who came to this Chinese restaurant for dinner looked like they were Chinese or Chinese-Espanyol.
He is the only one of the pure Spanish people like himself, so when he came in, he caught the eye of some people. This gave him the illusion of breaking into the bar where Real Madrid fans gathered.
But fortunately, after seeing the boy's back, he knew that this could not be a place where Real Madrid fans gather.
This Chinese restaurant is very Chinese, but if you want to say something inconsistent, it is that the TV is playing a program from Spanish TV.
The host inside is a Spanish, and he speaks Spanish with extremely fast speeds.
What he said was very familiar to Herrera, which was the upcoming Champions League match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
"... Gao was interviewed by reporters after training today. When asked about his prospects for the next game, he reminded us not to forget Atletico Madrid once beat Barcelona 4-0 at home. That was the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of this season, Atletico Madrid won 4-0 at home. In fact, if Atletico Madrid wants to advance to the semi-finals, they really need to win with such a score in the mid-week Champions League, otherwise it will be very troublesome..."
When the Chinese lady brought the dishes to the table, she saw Herrera watching Gao Zheng’s news attentively, and said to him with some pride: “Sir, this is our Chinese player!”
"Yes, I know, it's amazing." Herrera replied.
His praise for Gao Zheng made the lady very happy, and said, "Sorry, the guy who almost hit you just now is my son. He is Gao Zheng's fan and is now in the Atletico Madrid echelon!"
He turned out to be a player in Atletico Madrid's echelon?
Herrera was stunned for a moment. He had heard of a group of Chinese children who were sent here for training before. He just thought it was done by Chinese capital, but unexpectedly, a Chinese child in Spain also entered the Atletico Madrid echelon.
"Then your son must be very powerful." Herrera praised.
The lady was even happier, and her words were filled with pride for her son: "He said that Gao Zheng encouraged him, so he had the courage to pursue his dreams. He wanted to be a professional player like Gao Zheng who could play in Atletico Madrid jerseys... In fact, I don't have that high expectations for him, just hope he is safe and healthy... Ah, sir, please use it slowly."
After saying that, the lady went to greet other guests again. She switched back to Chinese, and Herrera couldn't hear what they were saying.
So he turned his attention to the ancient pineapple meat on the plate. He did see the pineapple on the plate, and there were balls of red meat, which seemed to have been fried...
He had never eaten Chinese food before, but today he tried to fork a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
A sweet and sour smell spread in his mouth. The sourness made him salivate in his mouth and neutralized the sweetness well. The fried meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After being wrapped in a sweet and sour sauce, Herrera almost forgot to chew it carefully and swallowed it directly.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the meat on the plate.
It's surprisingly delicious!
