After pressing the brakes, the police car slowly stopped.

Through the car window, the large archway in Chinatown stands in front of the two of them. The warm vermilion color allows everyone who sees this archway to feel the strong warm atmosphere. After all, for Chinatown, it is now close to the New Year of the Lunar New Year.

“At this time of year, Chinatown is so lively.”

Tom slowly drove the police car under the archway in Chinatown. The streets seemed to be crowded with people. Many Chinese signs changed the English signs on the street just now, making people mistakenly think that this place was not New York on the other side of the ocean, but returned to the familiar mainland China.

Qiao Xue looked at the shops on both sides of the street, the facades covered with red lanterns and couplets, and then looked at the extremely friendly oriental faces, and couldn't help but feel like returning home. When the police car turned a corner, Qiao Xue suddenly called to stop and got off the car and went to a street on the side of the road to buy two boxes of stinky tofu.

"Oh! Oh my god! What is this?!"

Tom refused to drive the car at once. He pinched his nose, looking like he was about to collapse.

Looking at his expression like this, Qiao Xue seemed to be cheerful. She proudly picked up a piece of stinky tofu, blew it, and put it in her mouth.

"(Chinese) I'm so stupid. I've been here for almost a year. Why didn't I think I'd come to my hometown for a walk?"

Qiao Xue was eating and scolding. This made Tom next to him seem a little uncomprehensible. He stared blankly at Qiao Xue eating the stinky tofu in his hand, frowned constantly, and looked like he was reluctant to speak.

"It's really a pity that you Chinese can eat. The taste of this thing... is really a wonderful taste."

Qiao Xue laughed and handed over another box of stinky tofu. She said, "You can tell at a glance that you have never eaten 'notorious' food. Come and try it, and it may make you a little change in our country."

"No, no, no! I have changed my mind, God! I always thought that you Chinese are very harsh about food! They are the nation in the world who knows the best how to eat! But...oh, God, God!"

Tom didn't care that the snow was falling outside... No, the flying snow seemed to not fall at all above Chinatown. The festive atmosphere here and the heat generated by the rows of restaurants in the middle of the road made the snowflakes evaporate into water mist before they even landed. Here, it seemed much hotter than outside.

Qiao Xue snorted directly and said, "You have not eaten it yet, and you expressed your opinions in advance? Do you do this when handling cases? Try it, I won't cheat you."

After Qiao Xue's constant persuasion, Tom frowned and finally looked at the stinky tofu in a cardboard box with some disgust. He hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and took the box. He picked up the wooden chopsticks handed over by Qiao Xue, looked up and down for a long time, grabbed the chopsticks with his hands, and directly raised them to the stinky tofu, lifted them into his mouth.

Afterwards, he took a bite...

"Oh! Oh my god! Such a bad thing! Such a smelly thing!"

After taking a bite, Tom immediately let go of the chopsticks, with a look of confusion on his face. Qiao Xue next to him couldn't help but cover her stomach and laughed loudly, making her laugh a little angry.

Seeing Qiao Xue laughing at her like this, Tom immediately knew that she had been fooled. He immediately handed the stinky tofu in his hand to Qiao Xue and said with an unhappy look: "It's really hard to eat! I've investigated it now, and I can say with certainty that it's too hard to eat! It's dry, astringent, and a little sour smell that seems to be about to break, especially it's odor!"

Qiao Xue covered her stomach and it took a long time to finally come back to her senses from this almost cramped laughter.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Oh, thanks to you, I suddenly feel much better! Oh, I'm so sorry, I've forgotten to tell you that if you eat this food like this, it's really easy to get tired of it. However, China does have a lot of 'magic' in cooking! For example, I'll make these sauces..."

Qiao Xue took out the sauce pack that the boss gave her at the same time when she bought the stinky tofu, tore it apart, and carefully poured it on the stinky tofu.

"Flood on it. OK! Now, try it again? I promise, you will feel like they are being magically imposed!"

Tom seemed skeptical, and he looked up and down at the dark brown and slightly dark red sauces. He looked like he didn't believe that these sauces could turn these unpalatable soy products into delicious delicacies.

However, he could not resist Qiao Xue's persuasion and carefully used his chopsticks to raise a small piece again, put it in his mouth and took a bite...

……………………………………………………………………

He was chewing.

While chewing, the guy raised his head and looked at Qiao Xue with an incredible look.

Qiao Xue didn't say anything, just laughed, and she tore open the sauce and poured it on her stinky tofu.

After glaring at Qiao Xue, Tom next to him directly stuffed the remaining stinky tofu on the chopsticks into his mouth, closed his eyes, and chewed it slowly. After eating this piece, he quickly made one piece with his chopsticks and continued to put it in his mouth. When the stinky tofu entered his mouth, he simply raised his hands, just like a music conductor standing on the stage, closing his eyes and slowly gesturing with his hands. Within three minutes, all the stinky tofu was put into his mouth, and this guy didn't even intend to let go of the sauce at the bottom of the box. It was not until all of it was poured into his mouth that he ended reluctantly.

"Drive."

Qiao Xue also finished the morning tea and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

After Tom pressed his hands on the steering wheel, he raised his hands and gestured his thumb to Qiao Xue. It was not until a street opened that he said in great admiration—

"The wonder of the Eastern Kingdom."

Entering Phil Avenue in Manhattan, finally arrived at the destination of the two of them.

A police car was parked in front of a store with a fruit shop. A yellow line was pulled in front of a door facing the street next to the fruit shop. Two payment police officers were already on standby.

Qiao Xue touched the pistol on her waist, hung the police badge around her neck, and got out of the car. Tom got out of the car and walked towards the two policemen. (To be continued...)
