Chapter 5 Dumpling · The Woman Who Eats the Baby

At the Luohu Port Joint Inspection Building checkpoint, the crowds of people traveling to and from Hong Kong and Shenzhen every day are like crucian carp crossing the river.All of them have blurred faces and different backgrounds. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or nothing more than rising to the top, all citizens walk into a thousand-year-old gourd, wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, coming from all directions, gathering a passage to pass through, and then disperse into the mundane world, nowhere to be found. A middle-aged woman dressed ordinaryly walked in the crowd, unremarkable at all, just like an ordinary woman, carrying a basket of lychees and a very rustic rice pot. Shenzhen returns to Hong Kong.

She calmly and quietly exited the gate smoothly. I looked at my watch, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.I have appointments with guests, one at 5:30, and one undecided.Not too rushed. The woman got off the train, changed to a short-distance taxi, and went home. This is a public housing estate with a history of about 30 to 40 years.There are formulaic compartments, and there are some people living in each unit. Everyone has heard a little about it, but they don't know the details. After changing her clothes, the woman dried her slender fingers that had been painted with red Kodan, and the diamond ring shone in the light.No matter how she dresses up, she can't escape the gaudyness of a woman from the mainland.But the complexion is rosy, and the movements are agile.

First open the old-fashioned rice pot, the upper layer is cold food, ham and double egg rice, just throw it away under a pretense.The lower layer has a thick heat-insulating styrofoam box, which is kept warm with ice cubes, and the middle is a bag protected by layers of adhesive tape.Every time she picks up the goods in Shenzhen, she uses this method to quietly transport them through customs, as if nothing happened. Opening the bag of adhesive tape, poured out a large pile of limp objects like fish intestines.About thirty or forty, each two or three inches in size, pink, with blood stains and sticky film.One tablespoon can scoop two or three.When I scooped it up, I saw two small black spots, which were very far apart.

Two small black dots resemble eyes.But strangely, "with eyes but without pearls". This pile of objects was first soaked in a large bowl of salt water. The water in the small pot next to it was boiling, and a few slices of ginger were added to get rid of the fishy smell. She was greedy for a while, so she picked a plump one, rinsed it in boiling water, one, two, three, four, five, and when it was ready, it was tender and tender, and immediately put it in her mouth, rubbed it, and swallowed it. Well, she smiled contentedly. And sang: At around five o'clock in the afternoon, a taxi parked outside an ordinary housing estate.A beautiful leg wearing designer black satin high heels stretched out from the car.

Elegant Ai Jingjing wears a limited-edition suit designed by a famous designer for this season. Wearing sunglasses, she walks into this maze-like environment mixed with dragons and snakes.Those neighbors are all housewives, working girls, students chasing after school, grandma who bites the lint and plucks her face, men in the market, old people with bare chests and soft bellies... "Uncle," Ai Jingjing showed the note, "Excuse me, how can I get to this address?" "Oh, that Aunt Mei? She's so mysterious, she doesn't say hello to anyone." Ai Jingjing followed the direction of his finger and walked towards the east one.

While walking, I suddenly saw a luxury car parked by the side of the road. An elderly rich lady was leaning against the wall, vomiting non-stop.The driver waited on the side, but he was at a loss. They looked at each other. Jingjing continued to move forward and went upstairs.Her mind moved—they were all fellow travelers, and they were all looking for Aunt Mei. Is this the legendary Aunt Mei's private restaurant?Nothing like it. She hesitated and rang the bell. "bell--" The door opened. Showing a charming and flattering woman's face.Eating sunflower seeds, waiting for her sincerely.

"Mrs. Li, please come in, please come in." She smiled and entertained the guests very cordially. "When it came at the right time, the water just boiled. I will wait for you to come to make it now." Ai Jingjing saw the legendary woman for the first time. Her face was plump, her skin was ruddy and smooth, and her eyes were full of energy.Jingjing entered the door and said: "Someone introduced me and said that your dumplings are the most expensive in the world." The woman didn't talk about dumplings first, she smiled as she extended: "Mrs. Li, I recognize it. When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I often saw your episodes on TV. You are so popular!"

Jingjing is a little deep: "Oh, I quit for more than a decade." The woman is sensible and interesting, so she quickly changed the topic: "Mrs. Li, how old do you think I am?" Looking at Jingjing with great interest.In addition to sunglasses, look at it: "You? Looks like thirty at most, less than forty?" The woman's tone is emphatic: "I'm an old woman, and I've already called 'Aunt Mei'." "What?" Jingjing was surprised, she really was an immortal legend, "There is no wrinkle or spot." "That's right, I don't even see yellow gas. People say that my Aunt Mei is the 'Signboard of Health'."

"The skin is so good." Jingjing said enviously, "If you don't tell me, I will definitely not be able to guess it." Thinking of herself, she is already forty years old, and her youth has already faded away.No matter what, don't forget your own identity, and keep the subtlety and generosity of a superior person.I only heard Aunt Mei say: "So everyone who has eaten my dumplings from 'Yuemei Pavilion' knows it well—it's expensive, but it's worth it!" At this time the phone rang, and Aunt Mei answered it with a higher voice, so that the newcomer could understand her status in the world:

"Hey, Paula—I know, I'm ready. It's in stock, it's in stock. Queen—I'll make it happen if you leave me two tickets for next month's concert—see you at eight o'clock tonight—what's the matter? Then LV The bag has only been out of the factory for a few months, and there is no stock in Hong Kong, thank you so much, sorry." After hanging up the phone, Aunt Mei said to Jingjing: "They are all repeat customers with good word of mouth, and we will introduce one by one." She was very proud of her performance, and all these famous and wealthy people came to ask her for the secret recipe.

"Mrs. Li, watch TV, and I'll call you when you're done, oh." Aunt Mei has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and she will not be ignorant of the details of the visitors. There is already a TV series VCD of Ai Jingjing's "The Head of the Young Lady" on the small table. Jingjing saw that it was a 30-episode series of "Jiangnan Junior Sister". This episode meant so much to her, and it affected her whole life—because Li Shijie appeared in her life on this day, bringing her today's identity. Ai Jingjing, who graduated from middle school and took part in the artist training class, has become a new TV station girl with her youthful beauty and bright smile. That day, the TV studio set up the set for the costume martial arts film.Write in chalk on the board: "Three Heroines of Jiangnan" Jingjing was hung on a steel wire, and she joined forces with the other two heroines to deal with traitors, flying over the eaves.She was dangling on a wire two stories high.As soon as the decision was made, everyone acted with a look of hatred and hatred.Jingjing fought for several rounds, but the steel wire was unstable, and she laughed again, so she NG. In this way, the person went back and forth three times, all because she laughed out of control, tired of the opponent's re-shooting, and everyone showed hesitation.Only innocent girls don't know the ways of the world.But Jingjing's bright and lovely smile attracted Li Shijie, who accompanied the producer to inspect the shooting situation. The Li family is a real estate giant.Li Shijie is approaching his age, and has seen countless beauties, all of whom are beauties with aspirations.Prettier, better figure, all of them. Seeing Ai Jingjing panting, he was put down to touch up her makeup and take another photo.Before she could stand still, she stumbled and bumped into Li Shijie's arms with her frivolous steps.When the producer introduced "Jingjing, this Mr. Li Shijie is the sponsor of the series", she didn't know whether she couldn't hear clearly, or she didn't care to load it, so she just kept giggling: "Li Sheng—I'm dizzy—too bad I'm dizzy!" Li Shijie couldn't help but laugh at the girlish atmosphere.He laughed: "interesting." "Does it look good?" Jingjing asked. "Oh, you look good in anything." "Oh, I asked if you played well just now?" Li Shijie smiled but did not answer. He thought to himself: "The standard is so low!" But after he whispered to the producer, the producer later whispered to the director: "Keep the NG shot just now." Later, this episode was changed to "Jiangnan Junior Sister". Being highly praised, Ai Jingjing smiled from ear to ear, she knew: must be popular! Li Shijie was very obsessed with her at the beginning, and he was happy to see the innocent and beautiful her, and all his troubles were thrown away.Later he married her, partly because of the glorious spoils of society. As a "star", Jingjing also understands that the smartest decision is to quit when Ji Liu is ready, and she was only twenty-five when she married into a wealthy family.She understands better that in order to play the role of a high-class "lady" well, be generous, decent, dignified and noble, since that minute, she has made a clean break with her past, and has not had any contact with her sisters in the entertainment industry. Suddenly, it has been more than ten years. It is meaningless to revisit those golden years that have passed away, and it will only add melancholy. Jingjing couldn't stand it. She looked around this so-called "private kitchen dumpling restaurant" unit: "Yuemei Pavilion" signboard, it can be seen that the owner called "Yuemei", which is a bit old-fashioned.It is messy everywhere, but there are some fashion magazines and gossip weekly magazines, all of which are the latest issues. The trend is kept up here, and the hospitality is costly.However, the "Mantian gods and Buddhas" not only worship Guan Gong Guanyin, but also worship Lu Zu Buddha, and there is also a little monk Yixiu.strange. "Du-Du-Du-Du--" There was a sound of chopping vegetables and meat from the kitchen. Jingjing is curious and uneasy about this mysterious kitchen.She took a deep breath.Make up your mind. "Mrs. Li, I'll add some Chinese cabbage for you—you don't like leeks, do you? You think it's too strong. This cabbage is good. It should be chopped finely and squeezed dry. You should add some minced ginger to the meat to get rid of the flavor, okay?" Aunt Mei doesn't let the air be lonely, she is afraid of being bored, and she also knows that the guests are afraid of the smell when eating dumplings for the first time. Chop the stuffing into pink mud balls, add the pork stuffing that has been suppressed in the refrigerator - six parts lean and four parts fat, plus cabbage and sesame oil seasoning, mix well. Jingjing said: "Make up your mind." A poodle walks around the house, it is Aunt Mei's pet.While making dumplings, she whispered: "BB, BB, don't be naughty, go back to the room!" The mouth is not idle: "Northern people say: 'It's better to be upside down than to be upside down, and it's better to eat dumplings.' Dumplings have a history of 1,400 years. Southerners are always skeptical, but what's so special about the dough wrapped in a ball of meat?" She boasted: "The flour I have here is high-gluten, moderately soft and hard, and tenacious. It needs to be kneaded enough and carefully until the surface of the dough is like a shelled egg. It is smooth, transparent, and easy to stick to the mouth. Put it in the pan Not easy to break, keep the original taste, delicious..." Eloquent, let the noble guests feel at home, relax the mind, and seduce the appetite. There is a secret that the wrapped dumplings are not easy to break in the pot. After the water is boiled, sprinkle some salt, and then put the dumplings in after melting.At this time, the freshly made dumplings were jumping in the pot one by one, restless.Finally, one after another, they floated to the surface of the water, and the frozen meat juice melted, deliciously sealed, and trapped inside after being cooked. The dumplings came out. An exquisite white porcelain soup bowl, the soup is clear and fragrant with sesame oil, sprinkled with minced chives.The dumplings are evenly sized, tightly packed, and full of thoughts.One by one, floating on the surface of the water, crystal and pink, like the skin of a baby that is rosy and rosy. "Smells so good!" Aunt Mei was courteous, "Eat it while it's hot." Jingjing ate it for the first time, she only took a spoonful of clear soup and frowned slightly.As soon as my lips touched it, it was hot, and I flinched immediately.She smelled the aroma of sesame oil, but she dared not open her mouth to taste the dumpling—out of fear. "Eat. Take your time." Huang Yuemei coaxed her. "I often eat it myself. It's very nourishing. Sometimes it's stewed in soup, and sometimes it's steamed with minced pork patties and steamed with tangerine peel—but the dumplings are still delicious. Otherwise, why is my shop so famous?" Jingjing plucked up her courage and began to take the first bite. She was disgusted, and accidentally the fresh juice of the dumpling gushed out, scalding her mouth, and splashed on the ground when she moved. That lady dog, BB, ran over and took a sniff, but seemed to have a spirituality, and ran away with its tail between its legs. Aunt Mei picked it up as if nothing had happened, and buried it in the mud of the planter. "It's a precious thing, it's a pity to lose it, wash it and bury it in the mud - the flowers grow very red!" In order to make Jingjing feel more at ease, Aunt Mei chatted with her sister while eating melon seeds, looking for something to say: "Mrs. Li, let me tell you that all the expensive cosmetics and beauty products say that there are blood swallows, ginseng, ganoderma, pearls, angelica, caviar, pollen, royal jelly, collagen, hot spring essence... a lot of names, deceptive! We A woman's rejuvenation can be rejuvenated from the inside out, and the skin is rosy, it depends on my secret recipe!" Jingjing was moved. Okay, keep trying, take a bite, hold back and don't spit, don't spit, chew carefully.A strange fragrance swirls in the mouth... Aunt Mei looked at her and smiled: "When eating, only look for the consequences, not the antecedents—" Jingjing's seemingly indistinct concern on her face betrayed her.How could she not think of the "anterior cause"?Thinking about it, my teeth itch with hatred, and I finally chewed and swallowed the dumpling, as eager to complete a task. Aunt Mei resorted to another trick: "Mrs. Li, I'll give you a song. Don't be surprised. After the guests have eaten, I will sing a song that I loved when I was young. It's a sideshow. I'll sing it to you—" Without waiting for the guests to nod, she has stood up, and with lively dance steps, she performed emotionally: As she sang, Huang Yuemei forgot where she was, what year, month and who she was. She only remembered that those most youthful and beautiful days had returned.Between her gestures, singing and dancing, she came back like a ghost... Jingjing didn't know anything about these revolutionary songs and didn't care. The singing voice echoes unconsciously in her ears, that is not her world - only one person is the most important in her world.The car drives into the subsea tunnel and drives straight ahead. Where is the most primitive womb, a paradise for rest? She gets on the phone.On the other end of the phone, it took a long time to hear the voice of the most important man in her life.A little out of breath: "I'm very busy right now. I'm in a meeting—remember, it's the fifteenth anniversary. I must arrange a day to accompany my wife!" Jingjing listened quietly, with infinite associations in her mind.She has a cold expression and refuses to lose her appearance.What is he up to?What meeting?With whom to "meet"? Before he knew it, his body became hot, and a line of blood flowed out from his nostrils.Seeing the driver's expression in the mirror, she wiped it with her hand, stunned.I don't know why, it's too nourishing, can't you adapt to it for a while? Jingjing took out a lavender-scented tissue and wiped away the nosebleed.Using dark force, with a little hatred. "Mrs. Li, when eating, you only want the consequences, not the causes—" Aunt Mei said. ——Think about the consequences, yes. However, I can't help but think of the antecedent. Two months ago, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the marriage of Ai Jingjing and Li Shijie—it turned out that she had been a "young wife" for 15 years. That afternoon, Mr. Li accompanied Mrs. Li to a famous store in Central Landmark to buy shoes as a gift .Old husband and wife, you have to coax her when you wish for the anniversary. Jingjing was trying on a pair of black satin high-heeled shoes newly arrived in France. Li Shijie was sitting across from him. His cell phone rang, and he was answering the call. He asked for some business: "If the plan for the proposed land has not been delivered on the 12th, we may change our cooperation intention—900 million, at most 9.5 billion—then the average price per square foot will be no more than 2,000. That's fine. You can make another appointment with my secretary Emily. -" In his fifties, Li Shijie with a head of hair, but still a handsome and shrewd son, is handsome and shrewd. Jingjing relies on this pillar. She adores and admires him. Where can she find another one? A young clerk in a uniform skirt, half kneeling, waits for her to try on shoes. The girl's black hair was long in the middle, and because she bowed her head, her hair was parted on both sides, revealing a white and tender neck.There is fine hair on the nape of the neck.The upper body is soft and convex. She smiled lightly at Li Shijie, very polite. "Mr. Li, we know that Mrs. Li has already made the left last a little bigger when she came to try on the shoes. The computer has recorded it. Although the difference is very small, it is more comfortable to wear." Jingjing is satisfied.But also ask him: "How about this pair?" "You look good in anything." These words have been said for more than ten or twenty years since he began to chase after female stars in his "sonate" era.It's not that he doesn't love her. "Hmph, this sentence again, nothing new!" Jingjing listened, and slipped into her ears.It is also a good word.He "still" Ken said. The girl is half kneeling, and she can vaguely see a thin platinum anklet on her slender ankle. Because it supports half of her body, it is a little hard, like wearing a pair of invisible three-and-a-half-inch high-heeled shoes—she cannot afford to wear them. Expensive black satin shoes. Such a pity for such exquisite calves and ankles. The girl seemed to be only about twenty years old, and her skin was delicate, so it must have been smooth to the touch.Inexperienced, clean. Tried it.Li Shijie signed the credit card. Girls are empathetic: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, I'm Connie, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. The shoes will be delivered early tomorrow morning. If there are new stocks, I will call you immediately. Welcome to come back next time." Tian Xiao sent the two of them out the door.Li Shijie gave her a big bill as a reward.The girl was dumbfounded.Very pleasantly surprised. Jingjing left with her husband's arms around her. She never thought about it at the time, it was this little girl! ...Suddenly, Jingjing bit down in a fit of anger.This time Aunt Mei made fried dumplings for her. chew.Mouth full of sweet juice and unique meaty aroma.The Chinese cabbage refreshes the teeth and cheeks-it is really good and delicious.Well worth eating.I've been here a few times, and I'm addicted to it. "Hey, it's a little brittle—" "It doesn't matter, the two-month-old fetus already has small hands and feet. It's formed." Aunt Mei said again: "The ears are growing." "Isn't it a bone?" "Not yet! It's not that hard. I'll chop it up for you next time." Jingjing has gradually gained experience and has requirements: "—It's better to put soup, it's not so greasy." "That's right." Aunt Mei immediately catered to the guest - a rich and regular customer, "'Original soup turns into original food', next time the dumplings will be clearer." The 15th anniversary gift that Li Shijie gave to Jingjing is: to completely renovate the mansion. He likes to decorate every once in a while, with fresh pictures. In the past few months, I have rented apartments and luxury suites on the top floor of a five-star hotel. At night, Jingjing's cell phone rang.It turned out to be a long distance call. "Hello, Fengfeng? Is it still raining in London?..." It is her sister's son. Jingjing, who was packing a small suitcase for her husband, was a little displeased: "You only took a trip last two weeks." Li Shijie said: "What are you doing? It's only been a few days. Don't worry too much." Jingjing has always packed his luggage in person, not by anyone else. She pauses a little: "I want to visit my nephew in London." "Go." "—but you're not going?" Li Shijie casually signed a check to Jingjing: "Go shopping for whatever you like to buy." Take a look, said: "Hey, there are a lot of 'zeros'." Li Shijie said coldly: "I used to laugh at everything - not happy to see so many 'zeros' now?" Jingjing almost said to herself: "Laughing alone is not the same as being happy." I don't know when it started, she seems to lack the motivation to laugh, and she also lost the instinct to be happy.Long time no laughing.Unexpectedly, I am old and depressed. Li Shijie didn't hear what was on her mind, so he said casually: "I'm leaving Hong Kong for four or five days." "It's five days later?" Jingjing pretended to be coquettish. "Make up one more card and it will be treated as a fine." Jingjing laughed: "Fine? Do something wrong? 'Punish'!" The husband has already called his subordinates to handle errands, he is busy with other things, and he is not in the mood to joke with her-it is not funny at all. Jingjing was a little lonely, and put the check into her newly ordered LV handbag. Shopping?This is her "career". The most memorable day of shopping—— To the shoe store: "Connie from last time?" "Mrs. Li, she resigned." The manager said. "Oh, the work is so hard, but also likable." She said regretfully. I went to several famous stores, but couldn't choose.She randomly walks into a newly opened one. "Mrs. Li," the clerk recognized the customer, and when he saw her, his expression changed, "Please come over here and have a look, the new products are here." On the other side, someone is trying on a dress. The door of the dressing room was closed, but under the wooden door, a small part of the calf and ankle of the guest was revealed.She was barefoot, and the skirts on her body suddenly sagged and piled up, like a paralyzed woman on the ground. The boyfriend, who is already old, is outside the door, smiling and admiring the girl's caper and vanity. In the imagination, she sheds an old layer of clothing and puts on a new one.There were faint shadows and rustling noises at the crack of the door.After wearing it, he pushed the door barefoot and went out.The feet are graceful and graceful, with a flat back.Wearing a small platinum anklet. she asked: "How about this one?" "Blue is not good. Purple looks better." He made a serious opinion.His eyes are full of love and compassion. "No!" the girl said capriciously, "I love the pink series. It's summer. I want one pink and one pink blue. OK?" "it is good!" "Let me listen to you once too, I want an extra pink and purple one." Acting coquettishly, "I'm most afraid of seeing you get angry. It's really evil! It looks like you want to eat people." "Why? I love you the most. I wish I could swallow you up. You look good in anything you wear." —— Jingjing was taken aback. She knew this line of dialogue too well. Connie enjoys being served by the clerk, and she dresses up arrogantly and in high spirits-although, her youth does not need to be whitewashed at all.But she doesn't have to wear a uniform and half kneel down, and she doesn't have to wait for guests with an apologetic smile. Jingjing was very educated, she didn't pay attention to this pair of dogs.Still with an elegant smile, she stayed for a while, and left because she didn't like the new products she liked. She kept her composure along the way, not letting the tears in her eyes escape, not losing her composure, and people recognized her.But there is nothing in the five.It turned out to be like a pair of overgrown lasts, the feet stuck in, empty, unsteady, abyss-like high-heeled shoes, made of black satin.The French—or the young clerk who hooked up with her husband, the ordinary girl, had a pair too. What's so good about her?It's just tender tofu-like skin and a fresh body. After bathing, Jingjing looked at herself in front of the full-length mirror: she was still in good shape, but her muscles were a little slack.The eyes are still bright, but the corners of the eyes droop a bit.The worst is the skin, especially the face.She had undergone a fruit acid peel, which cost five figures, but she couldn't bear the torment. Soon, the spots appeared and turned yellow, and the wrinkles remained relentlessly. Press it down with your hand, and it takes a while to bounce it up.Leave a blank mark.Gradually, the time required is longer.There are also blue veins in the calf. ——This is a change that cannot be concealed.For a whole week, I suffered from heartache and insomnia at night. This is not the only heartache. Li Shijie is an "veteran" and knows that the most dangerous place is the safest - he did not take a trip, and booked another suite on the downstairs floor, with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob. A reliable and strict-mouthed servant brought him a noble metal thermos rice cooker from his home and brought him soup and snacks.He drank soup while letting the little girl give him a foot massage.Send the maid: "Someone will bring the kitchen utensils tomorrow. You should clean up the kitchen and tell the decorators to be careful. The soup will be delivered the day after tomorrow." "Li Sheng, the duck eggs are almost gone." "Then tell Ah Zhang to stock up. Don't make too many, and it won't last long. Buy a dozen at a time." Connie asked him coquettishly: "Li Sheng, are you reluctant to leave when you live in a hotel?" "It's not finished yet." He said, "Wait for the table and chairs in Paris, it rained a while earlier and it was too humid, the wood is not good enough, the designer refused to start work - I am like him, demanding and dying, if I touch it It feels worse when I go up, I will not accept the goods!" His hands ran along Connie's long, tight thighs.He picked up an object and tried to knock it on her twice, but it didn't break. Li Shijie cracked the egg on the edge of the chair, the girl stopped and watched him peel off the eggshell, revealing an embryo! She takes a step back: "Ah! What is it? Disgusting!" "What? Anyway, it's a good thing!" ——This kind of little meat that doesn't see the light has a nice name: "live beads".It can be made with eggs or duck eggs, but duck eggs are more popular. Duck eggs are hatched using scientific methods, until the embryos are in the best nutritional state, put them in cold water and start boiling, and eat them immediately within five to eight minutes. At this time, the embryos are not boiled to death, fresh and delicious, with sufficient body fluids, and the hair has not yet grown. It can be seen that the developing cyst contained in a layer of membrane is like a living pearl when viewed through perspective. Li Shijie uncovered the egg membrane, first sucked the embryonic fluid, and then scooped out the object that looked like a big eye to eat.Egg yolks, whites, soft tissues of various colors... "Hey, what's the benefit of eating?" Connie squinted at the beastly eating. Li Shijie made a feeding gesture, she escaped lightly, and fell to the ground, the man took the opportunity to fall on her elastic body, he loved the feel, the taste, all of these, the youth that can only be bought with a lot of money.He also tried his best to regain his youth... Jingjing is not ignorant. she thinks: "If he doesn't say anything, if he doesn't ask, it means that it didn't happen. Right? Even if it happened, he still gave me face..." The relationship between husband and wife has faded, and there is a three-point gap—but no matter how many temptations are outside, it is also "respect" if you don't admit it, talk it, or ask it.Like a noble lady who opens and closes her eyes in the world, it would be great if she could hide for a while. But the heart still hurts. ——Until she heard an immortal legend about "Yuemei Pavilion" dumplings... Every time I "pick up the goods", I always look for Ms. Zhang.Miss Zhang, in her fifties, was Huang Yuemei's nurse when she was a doctor.Still working in a hospital in Shenzhen. Ms. Zhang gave the "things" to Aunt Mei and put them in the rice pot.The supply would have been plentiful, but whispers: "It's only through opening up the joints that there are so many of them. Recently, the wind has been tight." Aunt Mei's information comes from Hong Kong Gossip Weekly: "The weekly paparazzi came up to take pictures—" "That's right." Ms. Zhang warned, "Don't come to pick up the goods for the next two weeks. Even if the customers come up, they may not be able to eat." Aunt Mei was annoyed when she heard this, and pondered: "Oh—let's talk about it then." When he left, he did not forget to give her a red envelope as a reward. When the two were talking, Ms. Zhang suddenly caught a glimpse of the back of a man, a little stooped, poorly dressed, fifty or sixty years old, and a bald "Mediterranean".He walked by, suspicious and suspicious. Miss Zhang looked at Aunt Gu Mei meaningfully: "Well, you don't recognize him?" "Who?" "Wang Shouyi." "real?" People have gone far, and there is nowhere to look for them. "Yue Mei, you don't look old at all, but if you see your partner—" "What object? My boyfriend from eight lifetimes ago." "You must be shocked when you see him." Miss Zhang sighed softly, "Wang Shouyi doesn't know how to cherish you." "Forget it, we don't have enough fate." "What did you two do then?" "He can't stand it." Aunt Mei smiled wryly, "We were so busy at the time of the 'one-child policy' that we knocked out about a dozen of them every day, more than 3,000 a year, and 30,000 in ten years. Embryos' abortion ' That's countless. Did he—" "how?" Aunt Mei laughed teasingly: "He is afraid of retribution in the future, and he has no ass hole when he has a child." "National policy." "That's right, 'serve the people'. I can't take care of my own lifelong affairs. If he doesn't want me, then he doesn't want me." Say goodbye to Miss Zhang.Huang Yuemei, the former doctor Huang who won the unit attendance reward: "red flowers" stepped out of the hospital.When passing the planter in the garden, huh?There is a cluster of particularly bright and strange red flowers, as if yesterday, maybe it was a few years ago, her golden years recalled-look, look again, ah, it is true. And the man who just went to line up to get the number chip, the bald old man, got sick after watching it, and was about to leave.Suddenly seeing a figure of a woman in front of the flowers, he recognized it immediately. She is not old.He recognized her immediately: "—Mei!" Huang Yuemei looked at it for a while, he has become decadent, the wheels of time have run over him, like mud.She pretended to suddenly realize, and deliberately: "Ah You!" Asked again: "Have you become a director yet?" Wang Shouyi smiled mischievously: "Retired early." Again summon up the courage to greet: "How are you? I was—" She couldn't hide her excitement: "I'm calling from Hong Kong - I have a Hong Kong ID card now. Look, three stars!" He took out his ID card and showed it proudly. She comforted him briskly and kindly: "Thank you for your abandonment." Before he could react, she laughed: "Nice to meet you!" Don't ask what's going on, don't care where you're going.Huang Yuemei reunited with the handsome, decadent artist with too much personality, he was so haggard, and she lived a better life than him, I don't know if it was luck or sadness? She watched the person she once loved deeply walk into the crowd and dust. She watched it off until she couldn't see it. Still watching. I don't know how much time was delayed.When passing through the border and returning to Hong Kong, I bought some vegetables as a cover by the way.In a trance. This time it's a little troublesome. The voice of the customs officer sounded behind her: "Come over here." A man was summoned to check luggage.It wasn't me, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was all right.Unexpectedly, the customs officer also called her back, staring at the rice pot: "Open it and see." Thousands of people pass the test every day, and the chance of randomly checking the X-ray machine is very low.Aunt Mei regained her composure and opened the ordinary rice pot——on top of the rice, there was a large slice of ham and two fried sun-dried eggs, the yolks of which seemed to be moving.In human psychology, most people will not turn the egg yolk, so as not to break it. "Ham and Egg Rice?" "I was rushing to pick up my son from school, and I haven't eaten yet." Very calm, sophisticated, nonchalant.The customs officer waved her over. Passed again. "Too bad, I have an appointment with Mrs. Li today." She thought, "I'm late." Ai Jingjing has been waiting for her for a while.Slightly stunned. The little nephew is actually close to Jingjing. While she was waiting for Aunt Mei, her cell phone rang.Fengfeng again.Jingjing said: "Isn't it just flying - I don't have to work, so I have nothing to do? Don't change the subject, your mommy said that you almost maxed out the supplementary card this month - who is by your side? - girl Girlfriend? Scared? Are you dating someone else? Does Mommy know?—She said you haven’t shown her your report card yet—you only know how to do surgery on your aunt, and you sponsor it? What’s the new model? So expensive ?—” After taking up the line, Jingjing was silent for a while. Like telling Aunt Mei, and talking to herself: "My sister's son is dating, he's only thirteen years old!" Aunt Mei echoed: "Oh, what's the child's name...puppy love." Jingjing smiled wryly: "If it's my son, he seems to be much older soon." "Are you planning to have a baby?" "I don't know if he has a problem or I have a problem?" "Don't be afraid, I guarantee that you will be rejuvenated - you must win back the man's heart!" "Hurry up!" Jingjing asked, "Is there any 'extreme product' that works faster?" "This..." "Save your time, I can afford it!" Jingjing is very clear - she has plenty of money, but no time. The situation is getting tougher day by day. Aunt Mei excitedly described it to her: "Actually, five or six months are the most beautiful. There is a layer of vernix covering the outside, the skin is transparent, the blood vessels are pink, the head shell has developed, the hands can move, and they can yawn. Do you know? It’s only a little under a hundred days—” She compared it with her fingers, two or three inches in size. "At seven or eight months, or full-term, it grows hard and not tender enough. Five months is the best, like a kitten, so pretty! So mending!" Jingjing was very yearning to hear it. She understands.Have eaten several times.Those two-three-month-old fetuses are bright red and translucent. The essence not only nourishes, nourishes blood, whitens, cures diseases, and removes spots.The lost youth and coquettishness are back. She just didn't think it was fast enough. Now that she knows that there are "extreme products" in the world, she is like an "addict", full of indescribable hunger and thirst, unable to extricate herself, and wholeheartedly pursuing better, faster charging... "Aunt Mei, are you experienced?" "I used to be a doctor!" Aunt Mei looked back proudly while chopping meat and making dumplings in the kitchen, "Only the top talents in the country can go to university, study medicine, and become a doctor. My surgery is the best, and there is no blood at all! No blood either!" "Then you saved a lot of people?" "I'm in charge of 'human abortion', artificial abortion, and the fetuses that have been aborted by me will not survive." Jingjing looked at her. Aunt Mei understood the world situation and smiled: "To be a human being, you have to look at the good fortune." And said: "So we should cherish it and live a better life." She suddenly slowed down, and her eyes were set on the bewitching red flowers in the planter.I don't know when?why?where?The flowers are so red! Huang Yuemei is about the same age.She has never been married.Do not have children. Good-looking, smart and sophisticated, he is a top player in the country and serves the people after graduating from medicine.Hard-working and award-winning. It was many, many years ago. One day, her partner suddenly broke up with her without saying a word. The subject is a handsome but somewhat decadent artist.To buy a single-lens reflex camera, sold blood.It was because of seeing a doctor that he knocked down Dr. Huang who was rushing to the operating room. Everyone fell in love with it, so they talked about the partner. What happened one day? It is the clump of red flowers in the garden. The flowers bloom coquettishly, coquettishly, and thrivingly, fluttering in the wind, especially red. Many years have passed.Huang Yuemei was alone.Came back also to "pick up the goods".The flowers in the hometown are still strangely red, is it the return of the golden years?that year... The white robe on Dr. Huang's body was already wrinkled and stained. It was hard to tell whether it was blood, sweat, tears or bodily fluids.After working all day, even the uniform is "tired". The woman who was three months pregnant in front of her opened her thighs, and her pregnant pussy was purple.She deftly inserted a metal duckbill pliers, first closing her mouth straight into the vagina, then twisting.Open it again, like a duck with its mouth wide open to be fed.The vagina is dilated to find the cervix.Women can't help: "It hurts." Doctor Huang thought to himself, the pain hasn't come yet. "Relax. I'll rub it for you, but you have to cooperate yourself. The surgery will hurt if the muscles are too hard." Use a probe to go in and measure how deep the uterus is, whether it's anterior or posterior.First go to the outer opening, then enter the inner opening, pass to the implantation position of the embryo, and know where the placenta is.Doctor Huang said to Ms. Zhang, a trainee nurse at the time: "Start with number four and a half and change to number five and a half." Without taking out the probe, I ordered the straw to be prepared: "Straw number five, number five and a half, number six—no way, can't get in, it's still number five and a half." Slowly relax, or get used to it, all the appliances will be on standby.She frowned: "Now it's expanded to size five and a half. The straw can't be smaller than it. If it's smaller, the uterus will have air. It must reach size six. Don't stretch." Finally it works. Dr. Huang burned a cotton swab and threw it into a glass bottle. When the flame burned, the bottle was vacuumed and the lid was closed.随“噗”的一下，“飕”的一声，一大堆凄厉的红色组织，连同那两三吋大的胚胎，剥离、打碎——是吸尘机十倍的力量，被吸扯进玻璃瓶中。五官成形，已有简单容貌。小手小脚有部分已扯断，小小的头壳溢出一点白色浆状物…… 她工多艺熟，又完成任务了。 “唔，这回烧得好，都马上下来了。不用动夹子夹碎。” 手术好，不见血。如果不够干净，还有残余组织，便得再刮宫。黄大夫最引以为傲的，是她往往做得很顺利，很干净。以此见著。 手术台上的女人并不乐意，一直呀呀地喊。也许不是疼，是舍不得。不过还是呻吟： "It hurts." “不疼的，疼是你收得紧。”黄大夫擦擦手，“已经好了，到那边休息一会。下个进来。” 张姑娘把女人扶下手术台。 黄大夫抽空喝口水。 一百天以内可人工“流产”，比较稀松平常。但再大的，比如四五个月、六七个月，甚至足月，必须“引产”。不能强硬施堕胎手术，若不小心可能使骨头刺穿子宫，造成大出血，或并发症，极度危险。 为什么孕育得那么大的婴胎，还得打下来？ “为什么？”是医院中没有人问的问题。 自一九七八年中国国务院计划生育领导小组办公室组织起草了“人口与计划生育法”草案起，持续至今，“一孩政策”在城乡严格执行。 法则规定： 符合生育政策的夫妇，应领取《一孩生育证》，凭夫妻双方身份证、户口簿、结婚证，向女方所在单位或户口地（或定居地）的居委会填写申请表。得到单位签署意见并加盖公章后，上报乡镇、街道计生办。几重手续办妥，小组审批，盖印，张榜公布，发证，可生一孩。 城乡居民若因某些原因，申请《二孩生育证》，获领导批准，方可再怀孕。但必须间隔四年。 全国禁止以超声波判别胎儿性别，遏阻堕胎及催生溺杀女婴事件。 此时医院来了一辆货车，几个挺着大肚子的孕妇，被单位及居委会主任这些“事妈”押送至手术室了。一群女人，拘人和被拘者，走过“响应祖国号召：计划生育”、“一孩政策”、“晚婚、少生、优生”的广告和标语。 里头传来听不分明的人声： “那几个是'超生'的，这个是'逃生'的，三胎了，逃到农村去，幸好有人举报黑户，揪出来。” “主任，罚我三万块我和爱人也甘愿认了，没钱就卖血呗——求求你们，让我生个男孩吧！” “前两胎都是女的，《二孩生育证》还没办呢，还生？这不行，我们也是听上级指示的。” 有悉悉挣扎欲下跪的声音： “想生个儿子——求各位高抬贵手，呜呜……” 黄大夫不带任何感情，权威地： “好了，大家别噜苏了。” 一根催生针照打下去，在肚脐下子宫部位，液体进去了，孕妇再也逃不掉。任人摆布。 "..." 子宫后来开始收缩。 羊水破了。 早已受针药，破坏神经中枢，胎死腹中。故手术只是催生引产死胎，不涉人命。八九个月了，出来时还似有少许气息，发出微弱像小猫“喵——喵——”的叫声。不知是谁，大夫抑或护士，信手拿一方湿毛巾覆盖在小小的脸蛋上，连最微弱的声音也沉寂了。 这就是政策。 手术室的垃圾桶，是一个个白色蓝边的铁桶，盛满了垃圾：棉花、呕吐物、血块、组织、染了污渍的布、二三个月到九个月大的死婴、婴胎碎块……中国人太多了，生命不但没有尊严，还没有落脚处。 铁桶满了，工人用小车推出去。 耳畔犹有余音： “大夫真能干！顺便给她结扎了吧。你上环，她爱人会得用自行车铁线给勾出来的……” “别乱动，国家是为你好。” ... 小车上那几个垃圾桶，给推出来了。 医院花园的花槽，有一个男人。 他的照相机正对准一丛鲜艳的红花。为等对象下班，满有兴致地东拍西拍。 小车推近花槽，一个工人翻土，挖个坑洞，一个驾轻就熟地，把血污和婴尸，就坑洞给埋了，泥土再盖上去。整个过程理所当然。 泥土营养丰富，难怪不管种什么花，都特别艳红、常青。 王守艺呆呆地瞅着红花，脸开始变色…… 他有点恶心。 可还没吃饭，胃里头空，只一腔酸水。 这时手拎两个铝质饭盒和筷子的张姑娘自饭堂那边走过来： “嗳，守艺，等你'对象'呀？刚才领导在夸她呢。” “又加班？” “唉，今天够呛的，大概二三十起，忙得要命。” 她举起饭盒： “我帮黄大夫打饭，她让我告诉你，真饿了，吃碗面条去。她还有好几个呢——咦？你怎么啦？不舒服吗？” “没。”王守艺道，“我不饿。” 他想了想： “你先忙吧。” 张姑娘见习期间，碰上这一阵的流水作业，才觑个空儿吃饭。 黄大夫问： “今天吃什么？” 洗了手，在白袍上擦了擦，饿得马上大口大口地吃。 张姑娘吃了满嘴： “苦瓜排骨。” “又是排骨？”黄大夫笑，“我们天天做的都叫'排骨'。” “苦瓜不够苦，排骨只剩骨。”张姑娘还是吃得香。 有人走进来： “黄大夫，你在吃饭哪。你'对象'等你老半天，他说别烦你，叫我把这个给你。” 黄月媚接过了： “人呢？” “走了。刚走——他脸色不对劲。” 她不以为然地打开纸包包。有个指环…… 指环？ 还给她？ break off an engagement? separate? 她还含着一嘴的排骨饭，连忙追出去。What about people?What about people? ... 男人已远去无踪。他再爱她，可他还是跑了。怕自己、怕她、怕将来的孩子有报应？没有解释，言语无用。大气候如此。 黄月媚嘴里的饭和肉，从此不上不下。不能咽，苦水又吐不出。心中一个永远的痛，永不结痂的伤口。 只有红花，千秋万世，沉默地招摇…… 数年后，黄月媚千方百计透过某些途径，来到香港——说是“某些途径”，无非是“男人”。把年龄报小了，把身心妆扮好。 这是一家前铺后居的街坊小菜食店。 溢着药材味道的汤在瓦煲中熬着。 穿着汗衫和短衭的市井胖子在招待两名舞小姐喝汤。旺角区好些小姐得悉有门路进补，都带同姊妹们来光顾一碗汤。她们身体耗损，易残易老。这汤收五十元一碗，比其他的略贵。 胖子是老板也是厨子，向厨房中煲汤的月媚大声吩咐： “阿媚，给Lulu她们多添一碗。” 他又堆笑： “紫河车，好补的，我们只是熟客才通知，货不常有，怕不够分。” 舞小姐道： “你怎么分真假？如果紫河车不是人的，只是猪牛羊胎盘，差太远了！” 胖子洋洋自得： “赫！我老婆在内地是大学生大国手，她瞄一眼就知道了。” “你老婆那么有本事？” “还用说？”他说，“差两年就正式的香港人，有身份证了。” 厨房中的黄月媚听了，一阵厌烦。但隐忍不发。 舞小姐放下一百元走了。华灯初上，补好身子上班去——“体力劳动”呀。 月媚把一百元钞票放进收银机中，自语： “每人才几十块的打赏，看来一世也不会发达。” 正说着，胖子已自行舀了一碗加料的汤，“骨碌骨碌”地干掉。 月媚迳自洗碗。冷不提防一双油腻腥臭的手和肉腾腾的身体，自后环抱紧压，欲“就地正法”。 他没有文化，却充斥性欲。 对完全没有爱意的男人，他求欢，她应酬，只是例行公事。月媚有点不悦： “套用光了。” 胖子不放手： “日补夜补，生个儿子一定好精灵——生一个吧？” “谁要生孩子？” 她把他推开。不用安全套她不干。 胖子再度用强。 她坚决： “没套不行！” 是下定决心不肯为男人生孩子。平白无故为什么要把新生命带来人间？ 太扫兴了。胖子打了月媚一记耳光，大怒： “我就知你跟我不过为了'三粒星'！哼！有你好受的！” 黄月媚抚摸着发红发疼的脸庞。她咬紧牙关，既来了，就没退路。她不要回头。 她忍。 在这个社会，一个女人要立足，要生活，先靠身体，再取身份，然后海阔天空。 她太明白了：女人到头来也不过是倚仗自己。 “今天的饺子好像淡了点。” 菁菁来过好几回，她已习惯并且爱上了这味道，不觉得腥，只嫌味淡——她的寄望令它变得芳香可口。 她对“青春美丽”，如同世上所有女人一样，都贪，多一点，更多一点。即使发觉日渐进展，起了作用，当她吃好后，在洗手间用牙线清理牙缝，还是不满足： “这样下去还是不行！” 媚姨在弄水果甜点，把西瓜红蜜瓜白蜜瓜，用圆形小壳舀出一个个小球，一边用牙签偷偷挑一两个，放进嘴里。她不会刻薄自己。边吃边问： "what?" “你看，手指按在脸上那个白印，并没马上弹回来，你看，还是差一点点……” “比你初来时，好多了，你没发觉——” 菁菁把媚姨的话止住了，有点不耐烦，有点心焦不安： “你提过的'极品'呢？” 媚姨打响了饺子店的名堂，为名人阔太服务，她忘却前尘，改善生活，她发达了，也得到名牌衣物和限量手袋作礼物。客人都满意，笑眯眯地走。可眼前这位李艾菁菁女士，为势所逼，欲望无穷，愿付出高昂代价寻求灵药。“极品”？ “要等时机，天时地利人和呀。”她道，“不是有钱就能吃到，好货可遇不可求呐。” 不过她也笼络着： “你放心吧，我再张罗一下。” 菁菁起来，扔下一句： "money is not the problem." “李太，我还没给你唱歌呢——” “下回吧。”她已无心听什么余兴歌曲了。 媚姨送客人出门。 这个时候，来了一双母女，与菁菁擦肩而过，都是陌路相逢，谁知有什么关系？ 母亲约四十多，领着一个穿着校服的女孩匆匆赶至。在盛暑，女孩仍外穿一件羊毛背心，热得冒汗，可她的羊毛背心，像掩盖一个秘密。 “媚姨！” 母亲唤她：“是金嫂介绍我来找你的。” 贵妇狗吠了两声——不知因是稀客，还是她俩的寒伧。狗眼看人低，贵妇狗更加势利。 “BB，不要吵，回房玩去。” 小琪与母亲坐定，与媚姨相对。此时才看清，她穿得密实、臃肿的端倪。 媚姨一瞅： “见肚啦。” 目光往下一溜： “脚也水肿了。” 再一摸： “怕有五个月了吧？” 媚姨对心焦如焚的琪母说： “我不敢做。一百天以内还可以人流、刮宫。五个月，都扎根落户了，不能硬来，有骨头，会刺穿子宫大量出血的。不做了，太危险了。” “求求你媚姨，小琪才十五岁，怎办？” “我都上岸了，不干这个了。香港不比内地，犯法的。” “难道由他下地吗？自己还没成人，怎做妈妈？求求你——” “我介绍你到深圳找黑市吧。” “你不就是黑市——” “我不是黑市！”媚姨没来由的，有点动气。 稚嫩的小琪，双手紧捏着校服裙，不发一言，任由两个大人处理她的胎儿。 “你问过她是谁经手吗？” “我是她妈，生得她出来，怕什么告诉我——可我又骂又打，怀疑是十楼的金毛华，金城的外卖仔，还有她的同学，就是把老师门牙都打掉的那个'板仔强'，通通不对，有个已经入了感化院半年啦……” 情急一堆废话。媚姨向小琪道： “出事了，总得让大人帮你。” 她温柔地： “告诉你妈吧？” 琪母气在心头，恨她沉默。究竟谁是“元凶”？再盘诘下去，想了又想，想
