My Inseparable House Guests

Chapter Eighty Three

The biggest difference between slums in the United States and slums in other countries is that although they are also called slums, people who live in slums rarely worry about food, so basic living security is still available.

The reason for this phenomenon is that food in the United States is really cheap. As a large agricultural country, the United States not only dumps food to other countries, but also has extremely low food prices in its own country.

This can be seen from the waste of food by Americans. In the United States, almost all restaurants have regulations. Once the food is ready, no one will eat it within two hours, then the food will be dumped.

So in the United States, just open any trash can near a restaurant, and you will find a lot of meat, salad or other food in it.

Of course, it is not the most wasteful.When buying vegetables or fruits in supermarkets in the United States, you will find that bags of radishes and apples and other fruits are almost the same size.

This is of course not because the Americans have any black technology that can make these things grow exactly the same size as they grow, but just that they throw away the too big or too small.

Carrots and other vegetables, even if they are not the same size, will be cut to the same size, which greatly satisfies various obsessive-compulsive disorders.

So in the United States, about 25% of the food is thrown away because of size problems while on the farm.

Yes, you read it right, it was just thrown away because it didn't look good.

Therefore, although eating in American restaurants is expensive, it is really cheap to buy food directly. After all, the average American family throws away about one pound, or 0.45 kilograms, of food every day.

In this case, even if the Americans in the slums have no money, it is absolutely impossible for them to have no food.Whether it is to collect the food rolls issued by the government or to check the stale food by yourself, you can live on.

Faced with this situation, Lincoln was also silent.

The reason he wants to visit the slums is to know how many people in the United States still live at the bottom.But the answer disappointed him. Even the people living in the slums in the United States had much better living conditions than the lower-class people of his time.

The current situation in the United States has had a far greater impact on Abraham Lincoln, the former President of the United States, than the impact that Li Yunlong and Zhou Shuren had witnessed to China now.

After all, although China is now slowly rising, there are still some gaps in the United States.

When Lincoln was president, the United States was just an insignificant country to the world at the time. Although it was a great power, it was just a younger brother compared to the big European countries with colonies all over the world.

Moreover, because the culture did not rise at that time, the United States has always been invaded by European culture. Of course, even now, European culture is still not inferior to American culture.

If you have a fluent British accent, the success rate of pick-ups in the United States is much higher than that of people with an American accent.

But Lincoln never expected that he would fall asleep, and the United States would become a global hegemon.

The old Europe, which used to be rampant all over the world, now has to rely on the protection of American troops to face Russia directly.

And the British fleet, once the envy of Americans, now has no big cats, only two or three kittens.

And their own fleet of the United States not only ranks first in the world, but can also attack the combined fleet of all countries from the second to the tenth at any time.

"Such a change is something I have never dared to think of before." Abraham Lincoln said to Fang Ze, "God bless the United States. I am now even more sure that fighting the Civil War was a correct decision. If the slaves were not liberated, it would be strengthened. Federation, then the current country will not be so strong."

"Perhaps the moment you dared to go to war with the South, the end was doomed." Fang Ze asked as he walked with Abraham on the deserted streets, "Say, when you were at war,

"No." Lincoln said. "Although the economic power of the South was stronger than that of the North at that time. The total population of the South was almost half that of the North, and the North could also mobilize the liberated slaves to join the war. In our time, it was possible. The number of people in the army basically determines the strength of the war, so from the beginning, I believed that the North would win. Because there are enough troops in the North, even if it fails once or twice, it will not have any impact on the overall situation, while the South is different. As long as they fail once, their strength will be greatly lost."

"It seems that you made a correct decision." When Fang Ze chatted with Lincoln, he had a very strange feeling.

For Lincoln, he was resurrected again and found that the country he once led had become the hegemon of the world. He certainly did not have any regrets in his heart. Even if he waited for Friday, he would sleep in the coffin again without any hesitation. , Because all he hoped to achieve, later generations have achieved for him.

If, if one day, Huaxia also reaches the top of the world, will he have the opportunity to receive the leaders who founded China?

Then they will be proud too.

Because China’s starting point is much lower than that of the United States.

Just when Fang Ze and Abraham were about to leave the slum, they suddenly ran into a group of people head on.

The leader, Fang Ze looked a little serious, and took a few more careful glances, only to recognize that this person was the one who had a conflict with Abraham yesterday, was beaten by Abraham, and finally stood up and said cruel words.

When Fang Ze recognized them, the group also recognized Abraham.

"It's you again." The leader shouted, and then pointed at Abraham and Fang Ze and shouted, "This is our site. You dare to come in here. Don't think about going out today."

"We just entered here accidentally and didn't mean to want to fight you again." Abraham Lincoln was in a good mood and didn't have the idea of ​​beating this group of punks again.

For a vampire hunter, there is no sense of accomplishment in hitting a group of ordinary people.

"Really." The man in the lead looked at Abraham and thought about how he was beaten yesterday, so he waved a little brother to follow him, and then he walked in front of Fang Ze and Abraham.

"It looks like you dressed up specially today." The leader stood in front of Abraham and said, "Listen, I don't care if you come to us or not. But this is our territory. Although you can fight well, we There are also things that can turn your head into a smashed watermelon in an instant."
