   Chapter 837 The preciousness of two bowls of instant noodles

   Huaxia does not have direct flights to Mayo Clinic.

  Lu Chen flew to Chicago first.

   Arrive in Chicago and make a transfer.

The headquarters of the    Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.

  Chicago to Rochester is less than an hour flight time.

  Although connecting flights at US airports is very convenient, for Lu Chen, who came to the United States for the first time, because he had to take out his luggage when going through customs, and then check in for the next flight.

  Lu Chen spent a lot of time on the way.

   Lu Chen finally arrived in Rochester at about eight o'clock in the evening.

  …

  Mayo is headquartered in Rochester, Minnesota, and later opened two large medical centers in Scottsdale, Arizona and Jacksonville, Florida.

  Three large medical centers are dotted with clinics.

   These clinics, along with three large medical centers, form a major part of the Mayo Health System.

   After getting off the plane, Lu Chen found that the airport in Rochester is very small, and it is far from the scale of some second- and third-tier city airports in China.

  There are no hotels around the airport, and even taxis are few.

   There is no possibility of waving and calling a car on the side of the road.

  According to the previous agreement, Yu Weiguang will come to pick up the plane.

  Lu Chen looked for a fast food restaurant to rest temporarily.

   After waiting for about half an hour, Yu Weiguang was late.

   "Viagra, if you don't come pick me up, I really don't know how to get there."

  Lu Chen said rather embarrassedly.

   It was a new arrival and faced a completely different environment. After seeing Yu Weiguang, Lu Chen felt an unusual intimacy.

   "Hey, it's not that exaggerated." After receiving Lu Chen, Yu Weiguang took out his mobile phone, "Although it's not easy to call rough cars here, but booking a shuttlebus online is very reliable."

   Yu Weiguang helped Lu Chen carry a bag of luggage.

   While booking a car online, he told Lu Chen the local customs.

  Rochester is a small city, there is no subway, there are many bus routes, but the frequency is not dense.

   "Lu Chen, the winter here in Rochester is long and cold, so it is most convenient to buy a car if you can. At least so far, it is legal to drive in Mingzhou with a Huaxia driver's license."

   "The key here is that gasoline is super cheap, roads are basically free, and car maintenance costs are low."

  Lu Chen smiled, "Viagra, then why didn't you get a car?"

"Hey, I'll only be here for a year." Yu Weiguang shook his head, "in half a year, I'll be gone, no trouble. Many Chinese who have been here for a long time have temporarily bought a cheap car. Car travel."

   "By the way, Viagra, where do I live?" Lu Chen was still more concerned with this question.

  The type of accommodation is nothing more than a hotel, a rental apartment or a House.

"Lu Chen, you are really lucky." Yu Weiguang smiled, "I live in an American house with three floors. The first floor is for the landlord, and the second and third floors are rented out. There just happens to be a vacant room on the first floor, I'll show you there, and if you think you can, just stay there."

   "Viagra, you live here, of course I'm with you." Lu Chen smiled, "However, the rent won't be very expensive, right?"

   In the next two years, the expenses here will be a lot of expenses.

  Lu Chen made some money before, but he still needs to save some words.

   After all, he came here as a visiting scholar without any salary or remuneration.

Yu Weiguang smiled and shook his head: "This kind of big house is equivalent to a shared rent, it's not very expensive, it's about 300 US dollars a month, if you want to live in a single apartment, it's expensive, the rent is about 500-1000 US dollars / Months vary."

   "Okay, then go to Viagra." Lu Chen nodded.

   "Well, I'll show you."

   After a while, the car booked online arrived.

   Yu Weiguang took Lu Chen to the big house he was currently renting.

  …

  The landlord is a middle-aged American, with a wide body and a fat body, and looks very kind.

   He took Lu Chen to the room on the third floor.

   Everything in the room is readily available and cleaned very well.

   "Just here."

  Lu Chen paid half a year's rent first.

  This is not far from the Mayo Medical Center, about a ten or twenty minute walk.

   "There are still a few Chinese people living here." Yu Weiguang introduced, "There are those from Magic Capital, Kyoto, and Western Sichuan. We usually get together occasionally."

  It was half past eleven when Lu Chen finished everything.

  The fatigue and anxiety of transferring flights, check-in, etc. all the way disappears with falling asleep.

   However, jet lag is really an important issue that cannot be avoided.

  Lu Chen is very tired now, and his eyelids are fighting, but his mind is clear, but he can't fall asleep.

  I finally fell asleep at about 5:00, and when I opened my eyes, it was 10:00 noon US time.

   At this time, Lu Chen felt his stomach growl.

   Yu Weiguang is still at work, so Lu Chen needs to go out for food.

   The best way to go out in the United States is Google Maps, and it’s still the Chinese pronunciation.

   After walking for about 30 minutes, Lu Chen found a large supermarket under the guidance of the map.

   When I got there, I found that it was all daily necessities, no food...

  Lu Chen is a little desperate, do you want to cook by yourself in the future?

   At this time, Lu Chen felt like an animal out of the group.

The expression    "foraging" is really appropriate.

  …

   It was finally around 11:30 noon.

   Yu Weiguang called and asked Lu Chen to have lunch together.

  Lunch was finally settled, and Lu Chen was full of ecstasy.

   However, when he saw the food in front of him, he was a little stunned.

   "Viagra, that's all???"

  Two bags of braised beef noodles, instant noodles!

  Yu Weiguang had an indifferent expression, "Lu Chen, this is something I usually can't bear to eat! I'll give you a bag after seeing you here."

  Lu Chen is full of question marks, is life so hard?

  Yu Weiguang has already soaked his face, and said with a bitter face: "Being here, besides language, the most difficult thing is diet. You can see that I have lost a lot of weight."

   Yu Weiguang compared his figure.

   "Here in America, every day is sandwiches, salads, pizzas, cold water, ice water and all kinds of unsuitable foods. By the way, there are also undercooked steaks, the kind with bloodshots."

   "In China, you basically drink hot water, but since the moment you landed in the United States, you basically drink cold water and ice water."

  Lu Chen still doesn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

   It was not until he worked at the Mayo Clinic that he understood the preciousness of these two bowls of instant noodles.

   For the next few days, Lu Chen was still experiencing jet lag.

   That's right, it's jet lag!

  Lu Chen's state is that he can't sleep at night and dare not sleep during the day.

   This situation continued for three days.

   Until the fourth day, Lu Chen drank some beer at night.

  Woke up at 7:00 the next morning, and the time difference was finally adjusted!

   After the preliminary work is completed.

  Lu Chen submitted his letter of acceptance and officially began to study at Mayo Clinic.
