Chapter 147 The highest state of being a man
Johnson was surging, his dream finally came true, and he went to the vegetable market with his idol!
In the streets and alleys of Kowloon City, you often meet stars, such as Chow Yun-fat and Johnnie To. In the street market in Wan Chai, you will also meet Anita Yuen, and the actor Andy Lau...
Looking around, I found that PRADA was directly next to the vegetable market?
Cai Lan took the lead and started shopping in the market. As expected, it was the same as on TV. No matter where the old man went, people greeted him everywhere and nodded with a smile, which was very kind.
Walking past a beef stall, he introduced: "In the 1960s, in order to make beef more expensive and look fresher, vendors poured water directly into the meat, which was called urging beef. Whenever the beef vendor suddenly talked about some topics to divert attention, the smart teacher would immediately ask: Is there any urging water?"
"Is buying vegetables here different from the mainland?" Cai Lan saw that Johnson was a little confused and explained: "You can cut about how much you can buy pork. If you don't say a pound, just buy 30 yuan or 80 yuan. The butcher will skillfully cut it for you, so you will definitely not be embarrassed."
"It's more fun to buy fish. You can spread out fresh fish one by one, 50 yuan or 5 yuan. When you find that it's not very fresh in the market, you can reduce the price immediately and you must not spend the night."
Seeing the prices of various ingredients, Johnson was shocked by his tongue, saying that every inch of land is worth every inch of land, and it is so expensive!
Cai Lan often goes to the mainland and understands Johnson's thoughts and said: "So taking action quickly is the secret to buying vegetables here. If you have time, you like to go to the Beijiao Vegetable Market the most, it is the most common place, also called Chunyang Street."
"It is both a street and a city. The semi-open-air street market is 7 to 7 every day, gathering in all kinds of religions and all kinds of people. It is the busiest time at 7 to 8 o'clock in the morning. The street vendors and passers-by are blocking the road ahead. The slow tram is ringing and moving forward slowly."
"The tram body swept through the vegetable leaves and green onions at the vendor stall. It was two or three hundred meters away. The crowd was cut open by the tram and got back together. If you go around like this, continue to buy and sell..."
Looking at the red wine that Johnson was holding, he smiled and said, "I'll treat you today, drink your red wine, come with me!"
Qingcheshuolu came to a seafood stall, greeted the boss, and asked if there were any good products?
The boss smiled and took out a fish with a fishing net. Cai Lan said in front of her eyes: "Crossom? I'm lucky today!"
Johnson also smiled. The grouper is actually a grouper. Its characteristic is that the fish skin is covered with fish scales, while the grouper has the scales covered with fish skin.
He quickly asked the boss to pretend and said with satisfaction: "This thing is not available every day. I usually call to inquire. Book in advance and the store will call you. I am lucky enough to meet a big fish and put it at the door of the store. Many people immediately rushed to queue up."
Johnson looked around and found that there was a cooked food stall next to the vegetable market, which was a snack bar. It was bustling with people. Many customers washed their own teapots, poured tea leaves, added boiled water, and even took snacks. The boss was leisurely looking at the newspaper without any help.
Cai Lan handed the fish to Xia Long and followed Johnson's gaze and said: "It's all decades old neighbors, and breakfast is available at five o'clock, and it's only a few dozen yuan for fullness. This is the real life in the city. Eat snacks, drink strong tea, and listen to the conversations between neighbors..."
"Pig moist is actually pig liver. The liver is equal to dryness, which is not nice, so it cannot dryness, it can only be called moist, typical feudal thought, hahaha..."
"You read it right, 10 Hong Kong dollars, and no one often buys it! Because Hong Kong people don't like to eat it, they are afraid of the three highs!"
"The same is true for pork loin. A large box costs only 6 yuan. It's quite expensive today. If you don't believe it, please come back first. Pack all three pieces."
"Oranges are varied and are produced in various places, and can eat more than 200 million kilograms a year. Locals prefer Newcastle Orange or Navel, which is generally called black orange, each with eight yuan."
"I like Zhangzhou oranges, but unfortunately I can't buy them, so I ask someone to bring them back from Xiamen every time."
"Don't underestimate rice, it is the only reserved commodity. Unless you obtain a license, carrying more than 15 kilograms of transit is a crime. You can be fined up to HK$50,000 and imprisoned for one year!"
"Is instant noodles the endorsement of junk food in the mainland? It's different here. Doll noodles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I'm usually bored or too lazy to cook at home. I'll cook them for three minutes. So I often see the plot of cooking doll noodles on TVB..."
"Tsingtao Beer is a big brand and is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Two bottles cost more than 60, but they are not cheap..."
"Potato chips are very cheap, often a box of more than ten yuan, and children like it the most..."
After a round, I returned home with a full load, and came to Shengji Foodstuff. All the ingredients were handed over to the boss. The two sat down, opened the red wine, and chatted while drinking.
When I woke up, I helped Cai Lan with my own hands and said respectfully: "I have read all your works, and I like the most:
"Compared with the entire universe, life is just a few decades, a matter of a moment. I hope you will be happier. So you have been pursuing happiness throughout your life. You travel all over the world, friends all over the world, taste the food in the world, read countless beauties, drink wine and tea, and cultivate your nature."
Cai Lan laughed, put down the cloth bag, waved his hand and said, "There are no great principles. I just summarized life in eight words: Eat, drink, and be happy!"
Johnson Johnson looked at the old naughty boy in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that living a good life is the ultimate goal that has been pursued throughout the ages. However, modern civilization lies in efficiency, system, wealth and status between real life and the pursuit of happiness, and frames our imagination of beauty and kindness into a cage.
Over time, people are about to forget that they have to survive, work hard, explore order, and speak rules, and live happily and freely.
Cai Lan tasted lipstick wine beautifully and said happily: "A stable life is too boring. I can't stand it, so I decided to live a fun life."
"I love the poem by Cai Chizheng, a native of the Song Dynasty, the most: When I fall asleep, I feel like I smile alone, and several fishing flutes are in the waves. Life is like a dream, wealth and honor are like smoke, and I see everything in the world, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and leisurely as swallows."
"Every day, I carry a vegetable basket and surf the vegetable market, watch the fresh fruits, pears and peaches smile at myself, and I am satisfied and carry the whole basket home. I live happily every day, and my heart collides with everything in the world and echoes. Never be tired of life and don't lose my mind because of the accumulation of years."
I have read many interviews, but when I really face Cai Lan, I can feel the leisurely and open-mindedness.
It can be regarded as the most important cultural symbol in the local area. The text can be seen everywhere in major newspapers and magazines. It is short, easy, easy to understand. Books, movies, travel, food, fashion, life, voice, sex, family matters, and everything.
Many restaurants like to hang food reviews written by Cai Lan in the store as promotional, or to mark the four words Cai Lan recommended on the menu to attract customers.
He has been a film producer for forty years and has put in a lot of effort to the prosperity of the film; he has written columns, published hundreds of books, hosted many food programs, wrote food reviews, and opened restaurants.
Record travel programs, set up tour groups, bring friends around the world to travel, eat, drink and have fun in one stop.
One time I was flying at night, and I suddenly encountered airflow and bumps. An Australian next to me grabbed the armrest of the seat, but he was drinking calmly. After the plane stabilized, the man wondered: Brother, have you ever died?
Cai Lan slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and said: I have lived!
Many people question why a foodie can be called the four talents along with Jin Yong?
The 1980s and 1990s were the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies, and its influence extended north to the mainland and south to the entire Southeast Asia.
In a series of popular commercial blockbusters such as "The Dragon Brother", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "City Hunter" starring Jackie Chan, producer Cai Lan is very common.
Later, I started writing and became a free-chosen writer. I met the golden age of writing. I could make millions in a year by writing alone. I walked into any bookstore and pointed to the bookshelf and said to the clerk: From one row to another, pack everything!
Cai Lan stood up, went to explain to the chef a few words in person, and sat down again: "I was so unique when I was young. Later, I found that my personality made it difficult for people around me, so I decided to turn it around and make myself cheerful."
"Learn to understand that when others are fast, we must be slow; when others are slow, we must be fast, different from others. Even if they sell egg rolls, they sell sweet ones, so I will sell salty ones."
He picked up the yellow cloth bag he carried with him and showed it: "The above is an embroidered statue designed by his friend. In the middle is meditating under the tree, squinting his eyes and smiling at all. Eat and drink, so that he can live better day by day. I hope that today will be better than yesterday, and yesterday will be better than today..."
