Chen Yang had some impressions of this job of helping to harvest herbs, but he couldn't say how deep he was. He only remembered that this guy was quite diligent, but he was a heavy smoker. He often had to go to the corner of the yard to smoke after half an hour of work. Sometimes I have to smoke two cigarettes in one breath.
Because Charlie Liu is of mixed Asian descent, there are blond foreigners and some Asian faces around him, but this guy is one of the few dark-skinned old men.
His name is Gwen. He is of North African descent. He has two thick lips. When he speaks, he makes people feel like he wants to do a freestyle, which is the kind without electronic music, so Chen Yang has some impressions of him, but to be honest, this The guys are quite diligent in their work. Western society does not pay attention to production pacesetters. Otherwise, in the environment of capitalist society, everyone does not have the habit of working overtime on weekends. Even if they help harvest herbs, this group of people have not arrived yet. Charlie Liu talked about the price.
The hourly wage is seven dollars an hour, which is only nine dollars a day. Chen Yang¡¯s herbal harvest is not too large.
But it will take nearly a month at least, so as long as this group of people come to help, no matter how much they harvest, they can make a net profit of more than a thousand dollars a month. Although this income is in North America, it can be regarded as the bottom of the bottom.
¡°But compared to those who have to clear the city¡¯s sewers and hang out on the streets, this more than a thousand yuan is as easy as pie falling from the sky.
Therefore, Chen Yang can be regarded as a big benefactor in their eyes, and this little brother Gwen, who is of North African descent, is considered to be the more diligent person among them. One person's workload is twice that of others, except for each harvest. When finished, there will definitely be a lot of cigarette butts left on the ground, and there is almost nothing to criticize.
Chen Yang, who was used to giving foreigners nicknames, called him Xiaohei. There was no other reason. It had nothing to do with whether he was discriminated against or not. The name was just catchy, that's all. As for the skin color issue, Chen Yang Yang really didn't think too much about it.
Of course, this title was only called by Chen Yang in private. In front of others, he still had to call him Gwen. After all, in North America, a place where racial issues are relatively sensitive, if you really want to call him Xiaohei in front of his face, Chen Yang will definitely face a lawsuit, and the charge is suspected of racial discrimination.
"Hey, work." Chen Yang asked Yu Liangqin to take care of the doors and windows, while he walked out of the villa alone and took the initiative to greet Gwen.
Using the usual way of greeting black people on the street, shaking hands and bumping shoulders, although it feels very nondescript for an Asian to do this, and it is not embarrassing, but Chen Yang is now doing as the Romans do, and these things cannot be avoided.
"What do you want from me, my friend?" Chen Yang took the initiative to say hello, and the person who translated for him was Yu Jiang.
"Of course, of course I have something to ask you, Chen." Xiao Hei looked very reserved, as if he had something on his mind. His shoulders shook left and right, and his eyes moved away, looking around. The feeling was similar to that of black people in New York. Organization is the same as in street trading.
"Would you like to come in for a drink?" Chen Yang sent out the invitation. He still felt that no matter what the other party's purpose was, now that he was here, it seemed a bit inappropriate to let Xiao Hei stand outside the door, even if it was a Western hospitality. This is the way to go, but in Eastern civilization, guests are guests when they come, and there is no reason to let guests stand outside the door instead of entering the house.
He took Xiao Hei into the house and sat down, and asked Yu Jiang to pour him a cup of coffee.
Xiao Hei held the coffee, his mind was not on this, he looked left and right, looking around. I knew more or less something about Little Black Gwen from Charlie Liu¡¯s mouth before.
This guy was born in Algeria. He traveled across the ocean with his family to San Diego when he was very young. He only obtained legal status at the age of seven and has been living in the slums of the old city of San Diego. Although it is compared to the slums of his hometown of Algiers, , the slums here are nothing short of paradise.
Although there are still many illegal transactions and violent incidents, it is much gentler here than in my hometown. It seems that civilized society has given all violent elements a coat of civilization.
Gwen is quite grateful for her current life. At the very least, as a child who grew up in a slum, he did not join those messy criminal organizations and become a gangster. In itself, it is considered a lucky thing.
He drank Yu Liangqin¡¯s coffee, trying to be as generous as possible, but instead he became even more uneasy.
"Let's talk about friends. Is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Yang said as he sat across from Gwen. He didn't have the habit of drinking coffee, but drank a glass of orange juice.
"I do have one thing that I need to doOne thing is that they also celebrate the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Lantern Festival, these traditional festivals. They follow the local customs and eat turkey. They also wear fancy clothes on the streets on Halloween and let the children go door to door asking for candies.
So it can be said that although these immigrants try their best to integrate into the local life, they still have many Chinese characteristics in their bones. For example, in addition to food and cultural habits, this Chinese medicine is just a big piece!
If Xiao Hei hadn't mentioned this matter, Chen Yang would never have thought of it. In fact, there are a large number of Chinese living in these cities on the West Coast. Except for those third, fourth or even fourth or fifth generations of Chinese descendants, the new immigrants still cannot get rid of cultural customs. shackles!
And this is why Xiaohei attaches great importance to the prospects of the traditional Chinese medicine market on the west coast.
Chen Yang somewhat admires this guy. A foreigner, even an African, actually understands the situation of the Chinese on the west coast of the lighthouse country so well! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
