Chapter 10 Turkish Cuisine
The car, driven by Margot, quickly returned to downtown Chicago.
Along the way, due to Josie's deliberate compliments and her knowledge as a time traveler, Margot had a pleasant chat with him.
Josie thus gained a certain degree of trust from the beautiful young woman, and found out the general family situation of this beautiful young woman through conversation.
As Margot said before, she is not a star, but a housewife.
It's just that this housewife is not ordinary as Josie thought.
Her husband is a tennis star who has been active in various venues across the United States all year round.
But that's not the point.
The focus is still on Margot herself.
Her father was a well-known jeweler and real estate agent in Chicago, and she was an only daughter.
After her father passed away two years ago, all the property naturally fell to her.
So whether it is luxury cars, diamond rings and other luxury items, they are actually spent on her own money.
In contrast, although her husband is a tennis star, the income of a sports star in this era is completely incomparable with that of later generations, and he cannot afford the family's luxurious consumption. Instead, in order to maintain a decent life, he still needs Margot's support .
So Margot is indeed a proper rich woman.
Regarding this, Josie had to lament her own **** luck, just hitch a ride and meet such a top-notch woman.
Just from the conversation along the way, Josie can also feel that this lady is relatively simple-minded, and is not satisfied with her current life, especially her husband who is away all the year round.
Although Josie would not have any special thoughts about Margot because of this, there is no doubt that it is not a bad thing to know such a woman in Chicago's high society.
Especially the other party's deceased father was still a jeweler, which means that if Josie can get on well with Margot, then he might have a way to safely sell gold in the future—for the jewelry industry, almost Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gold, that's not a problem.
And this is also a matter of mutual benefit.
Because for jewelers, it is also a good thing to have an additional source of goods. The Roosevelt government’s control of private gold makes it not easy for the jewelry industry to obtain enough gold.
Of course, while extracting Margot's personal information, Josie quietly revealed some information about herself.
Such as the death of a parent, and being alone looking for a new place to live.
And this also aroused Margot's sympathy to a certain extent, and she took the initiative to provide help to Josie.
"Speaking of houses, my father once developed a community in Evanston. Although it is not very good, it is also a very safe community. Most of them have been sold, but I still have There are a few buildings, you can go and have a look." Margot recommended.
"Oh? I don't know the price? If it's too expensive, I might not be able to afford it." Hearing Margot's words, Josie asked a little moved.
Evanston belongs to the satellite city of Chicago.
But this does not mean that Evanston is not good, but that it is not good.
Because it was in the north of Chicago city.
Where is North of Chicago? It was a serious rich area.
Although Evanston is only a satellite city, the environment doesn’t have to be much worse than the North District, where the famous Northwestern University is located.
The place where Josie lived before was in the Near North District. Although it also brings the North, but there is an extra word near, which is very different from the real northern urban environment.
Of course, it is much better than the black communities in the south, Little Italy and Chinatown in the southwest, and the Irish communities in the west.
What? You ask why there is no East End?
Of course it is impossible, because to the east is Lake Michigan...
So there is no East District in the strict sense, only the Lakeside District.
"Buy? Don't buy it. You can just go live. It's vacant anyway." Margot shook her head. "You're just a child. When you're an adult and work, there's still time to talk about it."
She really thought about Josie. Now Josie is alone, and she is not yet 16 years old, so it is basically difficult to find a good job.
"How can that work? Ma'am, don't worry, my parents left some assets before they passed away. Although they are not a lot, they are basically enough to buy an ordinary house and support me until I reach adulthood." However, for Margot's kindness, , Josie refused without even thinking about it.
Although he did intend to use Margot, he would not covet this advantage.
Evanston's housing prices will certainly not be low, but they will not be sky-high.
"Okay, but there is no need to be too anxious about the price. Go and see first. Do you have anything else? If not, why don't I take you to see it now." Margot said.
"Uh, there's nothing wrong with that, but I haven't had lunch yet. Ma'am, since you came back from outside the city, you probably haven't had time to eat yet, right?" He couldn't bear to refuse, but before that, he still wanted to fill his stomach.
After all, Josie is at the age of rapidly growing her body, and she is so hungry that she doesn't eat a meal.
And Margot went to ride a horse at the horse farm in the west of Chicago in the morning—well, that is also Margot’s private property—according to the time when he came back, he probably didn’t have lunch.
"When I was at the racecourse, I had a little refreshment, but after you said it, I did feel a little hungry." Margot nodded.
"Then can I have the honor to invite the beautiful lady to lunch? It can be considered my thanks." Josie immediately invited.
"Of course! I just know that there is a very good restaurant nearby." Margot readily agreed, then turned the steering wheel and drove towards the lakeside.
About ten minutes later, I came to a very high-end restaurant by the lakeside.
It's just that Josie didn't expect that this good restaurant in Margot's mouth is not the French restaurant he guessed, but a Turkish restaurant.
Okay, how to say it is one of the three major cuisines in the world.
To be honest, Josie hasn’t eaten much Turkish food, no matter in his previous life or in this life.
Of course, there is no such thing as three major cuisines in this era, especially Chinese food, which will occupy the top three major cuisines in the world in the future, is not popular in this era.
No way, the limitations of the times.
After all, catering is also a kind of culture, so whether it is popular or not has a lot to do with the prosperity of the country.
Chinese food did not really become popular in the world until the 1972 Nixon visit scene aired in the United States.
Turkish cuisine is different. Turkey is located at the junction of Europe, Asia and Africa, and has more contact with Europe. It is greatly influenced by Mediterranean culture. The cooking method, serving procedures and dining etiquette are also closer to Western food. Naturally, it is more famous in Europe. .
So in this era, for European and American countries, the popularity of Turkish food is much higher than that of Chinese food.
