When Ye Chen and Chen Zhaozhong left the roast goose shop together, Chen Zhaozhong glanced back at the humble facade and sighed softly, “From now on, my father’s roast goose craft is considered lost.”
Ye Chen smiled and asked him, “Uncle Zhong, will you question, or oppose my decision today in your heart?”
Chan Shiu Chung was silent for a moment and said seriously, “Young Master, Keung Chai is an orphan I adopted, not a pet I tamed, from the day I adopted him, I never wanted to do any planning for his life, he learnt how to make roast goose from me and it wasn’t my intention to do so, but he was displaced in his childhood, he didn’t have much time to read and didn’t have the heart to do so, and an illegal immigrant’s status doomed him to have difficulties in getting out of Chinatown. get out of Chinatown, that’s why I taught him how to make roast goose, so that he could at least have a skill to make a living.”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhaozhong added: “As for him to choose the young master to give him too much opportunity, I’m afraid that he does not have enough experience and can not grasp.”
Ye Chen said seriously, “Uncle Zhong might as well look at this issue with a different mindset.”
Chen Zhao Zhong respectfully said, “Young Master, please speak.”
Ye Chen said, “Before you and I came, Keung Chai had already been targeted by them, and had already received a beating, today they came to the door, Keung Chai categorically could not take three thousand US dollars, so if we had not come, what would have been the outcome for Keung Chai now? If we hadn’t come, what would have happened to Keung Chai now? Thinking about it in a better way, he would have at least received a more serious beating, and given the ruthlessness of those gang members, Keung Chai would have been left with lifelong after-effects, with a minor disability and a serious paralysis, and that’s just the better outcome;”
After a pause, Ye Chen added: “Thinking about the bad, this gang has already started a killing spree in Chinatown, and killed more than one or two, in case they want to take Keung Chai to make an example of him today, or if Keung Chai’s resistance is too fierce today, once they pull out their guns, Keung Chai will definitely die today.”
“So, a minor injury is a serious injury, a serious death, in this case, Keung Chai already has nothing to lose, from today onwards, everything he has is earned;”
“Moreover, when Keung Chai was going to shoot to finish off those punks, he was really moved to kill, facing an enemy who oppresses him to be able to move to kill means that there is still blood, taking this path must be better for him than not.”
Chen Zhao Zhong nodded slightly in approval, then asked, “By the way young master, why didn’t you let Keung Chai shoot and kill those people again later?”
Ye Chen said, “He must inevitably have to kill people in the future, but it shouldn’t be now, killing so many people right off the bat, it’s easy to become brutal and bloodthirsty, so it’s better to let him adapt slowly on his own.”
Saying that, Ye Chen asked Chen Zhaozhong, “Uncle Zhong didn’t rest all night, do you want to go to the hotel first to make up for it?”
“No.” Chen Zhaozhong quickly waved his hand and said, “I accompanied young master to be busy with business, wait until the business is done, let’s go to Queens now, find a place to have a cup of coffee, I guess Peter’s antique shop should be open.”
“Good.” Ye Chen nodded, “Then let’s go directly to Queens.”
……
New York, Queens.
Queens is a large area, not as busy as Manhattan, but the centre is considered a smaller version of Manhattan.
Moreover, Queens is densely populated with immigrants of all ethnicities, so it is relatively lively, with the famous Flushing being the neighbourhood where Chinese people and Chinese vendors gather.
Peter Zhou’s antique shop, opened in the centre of Queens, although the shop is not big, but the location is really no choice.
