Chapter 4 Part 1 - 3

"They are so pitiful." Mr. Walasse Ting said looking at the fish in the garden pond. "A big bird flew down and bit them. Everyone sank to the bottom of the pond to hide." "What kind of bird is it?" I asked. "I can't name it, egrets are cute, but they are fierce. I also love birds, but I love fish more. Fish are my friends, and of course I stand on my friend's side." "Buy an air gun and kill him," I said. "No, no." At this moment, Mr. Ding's live-in girlfriend Andilia came back from a run and shouted, "It is a protected animal. In the Netherlands, it is a serious crime to kill it."

"I can't watch it kill fish every day!" Mr. Yi said. "That's true." Andilia said, "The one I bought last time: more than two hundred Gildas, was also killed by it." A calculation of Hong Kong dollars is seven or eight hundred. Mr. Ding said: "Eat it, there is still something to say, and only half of your life is left, just for fun. It's disgusting!" Speaking of this, Mr. Ding's son Chixi also came, and he said he knew where to buy it. to airsoft guns. Andilia still had reservations about the gun. "I won't kill it, I just want to scare it away." After Mr. Ding finished speaking, Andilia was relieved. "Buy one that only makes sound." She repeatedly urged.

Chixi and I drove to a sporting goods store that was stocked with long rifles and pistols of every kind, and the store was full of deadly weapons. "Is there a toy pistol made in Japan that only fires plastic round bullets and won't kill the bird?" My name is the translator Chi Xi. "The bullets are for sale, but the guns are not. It is said that they are too real, so they are not allowed to be sold." After listening to the clerk's explanation, Chi Xi said, "This is the one that only makes noise." I saw that a small pistol the size of a keychain could be loaded with bullets, and it would make a really loud noise with a dozen, so I decided to buy it.

Chi Xi shook his head: "When I was a child, my dad bought it for me to play with; I never thought that when I grow up, I would buy it for my dad to play with." The big bird flew down to eat the fish.Mr. Walasse Ting took the small silver pistol and fired it with a bang.Birds fly away. Mr. Ding and his girlfriend Andilia were very happy. The bird flew back again, with another bang.The third time, it was no longer afraid, and killed three fish in the pond. Mr. Ding was furious, and Andilia surrendered, saying to her son Kexi and me, "Buy an air gun!" The two of us drove to the sporting goods store the next day, saw a pumped pistol, and asked the clerk to take it out for a try. I held the barrel with my left hand and the handle with my right hand, and folded it vigorously, but how could I fold it? All fold it does not move.

"My dad can't fold it, can he?" After Chi Xi finished speaking, he asked the clerk to show you other styles.In the end, it was decided to use an inflator. Each cylinder can fire twenty or thirty iron bullets, but not continuously. Only one bullet can be fired once, which is allowed by the law.Although the Netherlands is open, even marijuana and euthanasia are passed, but some laws are inexplicable. I can’t buy a few pilitonin at the hotel’s kiosk, saying that only pharmacies with real licenses are allowed to sell them. After bringing it home, Mr. Ding couldn't wait to open the box and took out the pistol to play with. We immediately avoided it.Loading the pump, pulling the trigger, putting the bullets in, loading it, and closing the switch again, this whole process is too complicated, Mr. Ding found it troublesome after learning it a few times, and stopped playing.

The big bird flew down to bite the fish again, what should I do? With a meow, the cat next door came to Mr. Ding's house to play. Its owner fed it cat food every day, and it got a little tired of eating, so it came to Mr. Ding's place.Every time Mr. Ding invites him to eat ham, he is addicted to eating and comes here often.We all call it the mistress cat. But Mistress Cat never catches mice, let alone bite birds. I said, "Why don't you raise a big cat and let it kill the bird? Although it is a protected animal, there is no crime if a cat kills it." Everyone applauded.Mr. Ding said: "Okay, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in three years, so it's decided." The story of the big bird came to an end.

The next day, Mr. Ding took me to a small town called Maastrickt.Two and a half hours drive from Amsterdam. Very peaceful place, this is a bit like the Netherlands in the past.It is said that this place was French territory at that time, and Didenin, the youngest of the Three Musketeers, was buried here.I thought he was a fictional character. The square was full of guests. Today was a rare day of sunshine, so everyone came out to have a drink.We ordered a locally brewed beer called "White Beer" which had a rich malt flavor. Two homeless people came. The husband played the violin and was very thin; the wife was begging for copper coins and was very fat.Originally, the music of these characters was very pleasant, but the violin played by the thin man sounded like sawing the neck of a chicken. I said that I had never tried such an ugly one. The lady sitting at the next table knew English and kept giggling.

The fat lady also has her talents, and the whole square will give us money if they see us, and they guessed right. Lazy afternoon.Time passed quickly, and it was time to eat all of a sudden.Mr. Ding's friend Dr. Weil said, "I'll take you to the most famous French restaurant in the area first." The Dutch are very proud of their own country, but they have never heard them recommend which Dutch restaurant is the best. If you read travel books about the Netherlands, you will find that they regard Indonesian food as their national food. The name of the restaurant is Restaurant Au Coin Des Bons Enfants. I want some champagne for free. The food is wonderful. Unfortunately, we were treated by a Chinese lady and we are going to Mary Wong restaurant opened by her. She is my reader. Listen to Dr. Weil said that I would come and specially prepared fifteen dishes.It was made with the freshest ingredients, and there were surprises from other places. We were drunk and full, and fell asleep when we drove back to Amsterdam, and we arrived at the Hilton Hotel in no time.

Address: Maastrichtersteenweg 2423770. Vroenhoven Belgium Why is the address in Belgium? It turns out that this small town is on the border, and you can enter it as soon as you step over it. There is no national border. Europe is so fun. The trip to Holland is coming to an end.Finally walked to Mr. Ding's house that morning to say goodbye and thank him. Mr. Ding opened the door to greet them, and we chatted for a while, but we couldn't get along, as there is always no place for a small party in the world.Go back and look at the big tree again.One day when we are not around, it still survives so vigorously, so we must respect the old tree.

From the Hilton Hotel to the airport, there is no traffic jam on Sunday, and you can arrive within two minutes. The last time I came to Milan to buy things, I finally had to go through tax deduction procedures at the airport in Amsterdam, which was very troublesome.First, I had to drag my luggage from one corner of the airport to the other corner far away to get my seal stamped. At that time, there was a long queue, and the customs officers were slow and anxious.This time I didn't buy any brand-name goods, and I was light and comfortable.If you go to Milan again, you have to go through the formalities in the city and get your stamp stamped first, so you don't have to wait until you get to the airport and get sweaty.

There is no Cathay Pacific's own lounge in Amsterdam Airport. If you take another airline, there is nothing delicious in it. It is better to settle in a restaurant. There are a total of three or four food stalls behind the gate. The largest one sells grilled lamb and steak, but the Indonesian fried rice is wonderful. What I like most is to eat at seafood stalls, where green herrings are also sold, and I will have two or three more before I leave.This kind of fish looks scary. People who have never tried it think it must be very fishy. Only after eating it will they know that their mouth is full of oil, and there is no fishy smell at all. Compared with ding, it is not inferior. There are all kinds of cheese sold in the store, and I don’t have the appetite to try them one by one. I bought a bag of mini cheese, a little bit of each kind, eat a few more bites if it tastes good, and throw away the bad one. After eating enough, I walked into the cabin and ordered a Hong Kong newspaper, which was the best enjoyment.No other airlines have Chinese newspapers like Cathay Pacific.Before pushing down the back of the chair, he was already sound asleep.The plane arrived at 2:30 on Sunday afternoon, after jet lag, and arrived at 7:00 on Monday morning, which was the beginning of a new day. Ever since I wrote the article about Mr. Walasse Ting and Big Bird, a large number of emails have poured in, scolding me like a dog. One of them said: "Mr. Cai has a wide range of knowledge and knows how to enjoy life. I admire and envy him, but Cai Sheng talked about buying an air gun to shoot birds, which really shocked and angered people." Birds eat fish It doesn't matter, playing with fish is also their nature and a part of nature. We humans should only watch from the sidelines and have no right to stop them.Even if Mr. Ding's belongings (fish worth 700 to 800 yuan) are attacked by the big bird, he must not do anything to hurt the big bird.May I ask how this is different from the fishermen of the Lo Wu River who shot and killed migratory birds for fear of damaging their catch? "Although I don't know whether he actually shot birds with an air gun, Mr. Cai actually participated in the purchase of an air gun for retaliation, and he even wrote about the incident as if it were a matter of course. It really disappoints readers." I have replied: "Only hit the surrounding things, did not kill the bird, please rest assured." The whole thing is but a game, and the reader need not be too nervous.When we buy guns, we will never be able to shoot birds. Our vision is not as good as it was when we were young. In fact, Mr. Ding is both a teacher and a friend, and it doesn't matter if you have a friend.If Mr. Ruoding wants to kill a bird, I must be an accomplice. After returning to Hong Kong, there was another episode. I sent the two slingshots I bought in a tribal store in Africa to Mr. Ding by DHL. After being inspected by the customs, I almost couldn’t get in. I finally negotiated and returned them.This made me no longer send plastic BB pistols made in Japan to the Netherlands, otherwise such toys are the best, and they will never dare to come around when they are hunting birds.White pigeons often come to disturb the air-conditioning tank in my house. They are so noisy that I can't write a manuscript. I can only use this method to deal with it. It is very effective, but it does not hurt them.I once took this matter as a small talk, and a child heard it and said, "Wouldn't it be okay to spread a net on the pool?" Suddenly realized, I immediately called Mr. Ding.The event ended perfectly. Mr. Walasse Ting was born in Wuxi, and Wuxi wanted to build a memorial hall for Mr. Ding, so Mr. Ding passed by Hong Kong.Another purpose is to join my tour group and go to Gangshan, Japan to eat peaches. Meet and hug each other.What I want to know most is what happened to the big bird that flew down to eat the goldfish. In order to expel it, Mr. Ding tried every means, and I also became an accomplice. The purpose of buying an air gun for him was not to kill birds, but to scare them away. "Did you receive the two slingshots I sent?" I asked. "Received." Mr. Ding said, "It's really exquisite." "I bought it when I was traveling in Africa, and it was made by a child in the country." I said. "The big one, I can't pull it away without enough strength." Mr. Ding said. "Come on, where's the big bird?" I asked. "That big bird will never come again." Mr. Ding said, "It seems to know that we are dissatisfied with it. It is really spiritual." It's a good moment, don't be scolded by environmentalists, it's none of our business if you don't come. "A reader wrote in, saying that if you put a net on the fish pond, the birds will not be able to eat the fish." I said.Mr. Ding disdained: "Then what is so good about it? Fish live in the net, do you think they are happy?" "I waited for the two cats you adopted to grow up to catch birds." I said. Talking about cats, Mr. Ding was very happy: "Those two British short-haired cats are really cute." "Andilia must be so happy!" I said. Andilia is Mr. Ding's girlfriend, He-mk, a model in appearance and figure, and has lived with Mr. Ding for many years. "The two things follow her all day, wherever she goes." Mr. Ding said, "Especially when she is soaking in the bathtub, she is always by her side, staring at her." "Is it a female or a male?" I asked. Mr. Ding smiled and said, "Of course it's male. Including me, there are three in total." Came to Hong Kong together with Mr. Ya, and our mutual friend Dr. Hua Er. Ernest Weil. Dr. Wall is plump and red-faced, like a little urchin, but he is already a world-renowned urologist. The last time I was in the Netherlands, I went to a small town called Maastricut with Mr. Ding to find him.There is a well-known university hospital in the local area, where Dr. Wall works, and the university is proud of him.This hospital is the least hospital-like hospital I have ever seen. It is full of paintings and looks more like an art gallery.Vegetables and fruits are also sold in the hospital, just like a vegetable market. The area is extremely large, there are more than 700 beds, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the level of five-star hotels.The day I went to visit happened to coincide with Ascension Day, which was a holiday and the hospital was closed.Dr. Hua Er led us around, but the restricted area was still broken into, like no one's land.Very happy. This time he came to the east, mainly to do surgery demonstrations in major cities in mainland China and several government hospitals in Hong Kong. He published a paper more than ten years ago, saying that if the heart can be implanted with a cardiac instrument, why can't it be implanted with a urological instrument? Woolen cloth? "What is it? Can you explain it in ordinary people's language?" I asked. Dr. Wall continued: "When a baby urinates, the bladder overflows when it is full. This is a physical reaction. When he grows up a bit, his mother says: Be good, use the urinal! The child will learn it. At this time, his urine The system is no longer controlled by the body, but moved to the control of the brain. When a person is sick and returns to body control, when he can't control himself, he has to pee at any time, and he can go to the toilet dozens of times a day.This urology device uses a small thing to be implanted into the spine, and then puts a walkman-like device into the pocket to send out a message, which can transmit the message to the brain, and wait until the bladder is full before peeing. It's that simple. principle. " "What can't be sprinkled can be sprinkled?" I asked. "Of course," he smiled mischievously, "if you can't get an erection, you can also direct it to do so." Mr. Walasse Ting was interested in our peach eating tour group. He came all the way from the Netherlands to Hong Kong and flew to Japan together. The most delicious peaches are produced in Okayama, about three hours' drive from Osaka, and the most ripe season is at the end of July these days. In the orchard, the staff distributed a paint basin and a fruit knife to everyone, and they just sat down and ate as much as they wanted, depending on your ability. When everyone was peeling, Mr. Ding and I held the big peach with both hands, twisted it left and right, and the skin fell off.Big El bites down.The sweet juice sprayed all over my body. Last time I ate twelve peaches, this time the peaches were too big and I could only swallow eight. I was already full. Mr. Ding was in his seventies and had a better appetite than me. Count the peach pits, thirteen.Lunch is eaten in a fungus garden.The current emperor and his wife also came.The mushrooms just picked this morning were roasted on the fire and eaten with a sweeter chili sauce. They were very delicious. Some group members only sprinkled some salt and said that they were more delicious. In addition to mushrooms, there are sweet potatoes, onions, bell peppers, carrots, and other vegetables, as well as chicken and beef. As a result, the vegetables are gone, leaving a lot of meat. The small shop in the restaurant sells a variety of insects, which are housed in a small cage with water and food supplies. Hearing the sound of ringing, it turned out to be "bell worms." The sound was like a ringing bell. Mr. Ding has always liked the sound of crickets. When he went to Shanghai, he would buy dozens of them and put them in a hotel room, and put four in a small cage. "Of course it's expensive," said Mr. Ding's girlfriend Andilia. "The vendors on the whole cricket street know you and know that you are rich, so why don't you take advantage of you?" I bought a bellworm and put it on the bus, and it didn't make a sound on the way.Arrive at the hot spring hotel "Hongmei Pavilion." Sit down first, and the maid offers a cup of frozen green tea.Hey, why does the guzheng sound so realistic? What brand of Hi-Fi is it? It turned out that there was a girl in the lobby playing a welcome song, when the bell bug yelled loudly. Mr. Ding said, "The symphony in the sky is like this sound." On the bus, Mr. Walasse Ting and his Dutch girlfriend Andilia kept arguing. Quarrels between men and women are the most common when traveling. Although Mr. Liao is in his seventies, his girlfriend is in her thirties, and she is no exception.This kind of thing is difficult for an upright official, so I pretended to sleep. "How did you do such a cruel act?" He was a little curious when he heard the sir yelling so loudly. "You come to judge." Andilia woke me up. "Why?" I half-opened my eyes.Andilia showed me a photo.Two kittens, one champagne and one blue, Reach out with your feet crossed and stretched, like an old man sitting on a sofa and raising your legs. "Is it male or female?" I asked. "Both are males." Andilia said, "Their parents are winners of the global competition." "How much do they cost?" I, a layman, can only measure with money. "It's extremely expensive. At least one hundred bottles of the best champagne will be spent." Mr. Ding said.Artists are measured by wine. "You all like cats, what's the fuss?" I said. "It's all this person." Mr. Ding pointed to Andilia's nose, "She wants to cut off the dicks of these two children." "It's not a dick, it's a ball." Andyah corrected. "How did you do such a cruel act?" Mr. Ding and I said in unison. "If they don't cut it off, they will piss everywhere." Andy Ya protested loudly, "Tomcats have the nature of occupying territory, peeing to show their sphere of influence." "Let them urinate, who owns this house?" Mr. Ding said. "The home is yours, who will take care of it?" She asked back. Mr. Ding didn't say a word anymore, I smoothed things over and said to Andilia: "If one day the cat turns into a prince, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Everyone made a fuss, and if the cats were allowed to participate, there would be five of them. Ten years ago, when frozen shoulder broke out and the pain was so painful, I met Mr. Chen Daoen, and he said, "I will take acupuncture for you." One shot is enough, I think he is a fairy. Before, we had a good friendship, and he often cooked a few special dishes for me.After he was cured, I found out that he was the director of a factory and had already retired. I asked him if he was interested in doing something. As a result, we jointly opened a noodle stall, which was later changed into a small fried restaurant, which was the predecessor of the "Cooked Vegetable Restaurant". .It’s a pity that his talent in acupuncture and moxibustion was buried. I encouraged him to practice medicine and opened a clinic in Kowloon City. However, I can’t guarantee the long-term and serious problems, but for fifty shoulders, it will be cured well, because I tried it myself. Pass. There are countless people who have been cured, and there is a long queue of patients. Dr. Chen is too busy to refuse even on Sunday.One day, a call came late at night, saying that Mr. Chen had entered Queen Elizabeth Hospital. I drove there, but he was already lying in the emergency room. It turned out that a cerebral blood vessel burst, but it was discovered too late.According to the doctor, he was bleeding profusely and couldn't be operated on. Even if he settled down, the possibility of returning to normal after surgery is not much.In the dark, Dr. Chen seemed to have heard it too, and left peacefully. Mrs. Chen is a very gracious woman who has been taking care of the family and raising three boys and one girl. When she saw me in the hospital, the first question she asked was: "The patient has an appointment tomorrow, what should I do?" "Ask someone to post a note saying that there is something urgent, and I will come back another day. Don't worry about these things." That's all I said. The funeral has been scheduled for October 23rd, and the funeral will be held on the 24th. If you want to thank him, don't send a wreath, but please send money.Mr. Chen Daoen is sixty-five years old this year, and he salutes in a Christian way, so there is no need to add three years old. I joined my tour group, we ate and drank, and now I think about it, it was just yesterday.The departure of relatives and friends teaches us that life is impermanent.Don't be too attached to everything, just look away.If you don't even understand this, and still care so much about it, then it's not worth regretting once you die. I was shocked when I read the newspaper headline "He Hongzhang has a heart failure and is admitted to the hospital".Originally, I never went to high-ranking these rich guys, but after being introduced by my old friend Liu Youlin, the president of the Eastern Region of the Associated Press, I got to know him and thought he had no airs, and his conversation was funny. We called He Hongzhang by his English name Eric in person, and called him Old Naughty Boy behind his back.A man in his seventies who likes to play pranks, even his son. He told me a story: when his son was seven or eight years old, he asked for a pony as a birthday present, and the old urchin agreed.It's birthday, "Where's the gift?" asked the son.He immediately took the paper and pen and drew a pony for his son. "From then on," he said with a smile, "my son always brings a lawyer with him when he meets me." Of course the story is not true.But showed his humor. When we met for the first time, he said that he wanted to write a script about family affairs and make a movie, but I advised him to give up.To kill people is to ask people to make movies. " When we met for the second time, he said he wanted to turn a piece of land in Wan Chai into a bar street, but I advised him to give up: "You only ask people to open bars if they kill people." The third time we met, he said: "I decided to commit suicide, you tell me to open a brothel!" Afterwards, we had a good relationship, sometimes in London, sometimes in Tokyo, you can meet old urchins in the lobby of hotels in big cities, and we often drink and have fun together. Everyone thought he was worth billions because of the silver spoon left by the Ho Tung family.In fact, the old naughty boy was also poor after the war, selling: second-hand cars.Even toilet paper.The most interesting thing is that he imported a few tons of chicken feet from the United States, and it ended up being ruined because of a power outage in the refrigerator. The fainting this time had nothing to do with heart disease. What the old naughty boy had was diabetes, probably due to lack of sugar.There was a doctor at the reception, who gave him first aid. The old urchin opened his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" The doctor said, "I am a doctor." The old naughty boy immediately asked: "How much?" Hearing what he said, it's all right. When I was studying in Japan 40 years ago, my old friend Xu Shenghe, who "lived together" in the same room, was a veritable water king. Under the desk in the office, there is a large box of mineral water hidden in one liter, which can be taken out at any time to kill a bottle.There are more at home, served by three regular, one-hour domestic helpers in rotation.The four are all Chinese, and they kept providing him with bamboo cane water, chrysanthemum tea, soybean milk and fruit juice.The strange thing is that he drank water desperately, but he did not shed a drop of sweat. Tea is not his favorite.When there is no water, drink some green tea such as Longjing from early morning to three o'clock in the afternoon.After three o'clock, I can't fall asleep after drinking. When it comes to sleeping, when we go to Hokkaido together, no matter how cold the weather is, we will never cover up.He said that good health is due to drinking plenty of water. Brother Xu has a family of three, his wife and daughter are not as fond of drinking water as he is.My daughter, Xu Yanhua, is the same as me. She can't finish a bottle of mineral water for three days. "If you don't drink water, there is something wrong." This is what Brother Sheng He said every time he saw us. Yanhua and I were all smiling, no matter what you said, we couldn't listen to anything.It’s no problem to drink half a dozen large bottles of beer, but how can you drink so much plain water? After returning from studying in Japan, we are Singaporeans, but we all stay in Hong Kong to develop. I do film work, and Brother Shenghe has established his kingdom "Star Port" in the tourism industry. Currently, it is the largest company in Hong Kong to receive Japanese tourists, with a huge office building , dozens of tourist buses can be seen along the street. Brother Sheng He, who has been able to pamper himself well, is also my manager on a voluntary basis. Recently, I often travel to Guangzhou, and he also goes with me.Sometimes he came back after only one night, but his hand luggage was heavy and deadly.I didn't know what was installed, so I never asked. I didn't take a peek until a few times ago, and it turned out that there were four or five large mineral water hidden. "If you don't drink water, there will be problems." He said Yanhua and me again. We were still smiling, but this time Yanhua had a bad cold and passed it on to me.The two sneezed continuously, but they didn't infect brother Shenghe.It seems that his words are good, and I will learn from him in the future and become a water king. "Chua Lam Sighs the World", a travel and gourmet TV show, was made possible, thanks to consultant Janet Li.She has worked for large organizations, such as Taizhan Tourism, which specially arranges some special tour groups, and people in the tourism industry respect her very much. When we filmed the program, the moves and priorities of many countries were designed by Li Ruifen.Later, I often contacted her to discuss various travel materials, and the two established a strong relationship. Life has reached a certain stage.Freedom is the most precious thing.Ruifen understood this and decided to leave his part-time job and join me as a pair of "travel designers". This profession is very new.I think both of us are qualified.You don’t want to join a duck-hunting tour group when you travel, but you don’t know the place well if you go alone.Then, we will tailor a set of travel plans for you, with the most comfortable and economical conditions, so that you can have a pleasant and memorable itinerary.Our ability is limited, and now we have the support of Xu Shenghe, the boss of "Xinggang", the largest travel agency that accepts Japanese tourists, and the staff of the entire agency handle various trivial matters on our behalf.And because "Xinggang" has branches in various countries, the support is more confident.All tours, from one person to a group, where to go? What is the purpose? How much time? How much will it cost? We can answer and arrange them one by one. Not charging a fee has been a crime since the free electronic information economy bubble burst.We also have to charge a certain amount for daily necessities.How much? Depends on the case. Based on our long-term relationship with airlines, cruise ships and hotels around the world, we will definitely be able to get cheaper prices than what you book yourself, and the charges are also worth the money.Please email starexpress@starexpress． com． hk or fax (852) 2724-4020 to inquire. Ruifen is also very familiar with universities in various countries, and can arrange for parents to let the children watch the school before the children go abroad to study, and the adults can travel by the way.I have full confidence in our "travel designer" industry. This is the first time I met Ms. Chen Baozhu herself. Mrs. He came to eat Vietnamese food, and went with her to the "Jinbao Vietnamese Restaurant" in Kowloon City, and I was a guest. Ms. Chen is gentle and elegant, a veritable lady, she still looks so beautiful. Ms. Chen’s has also come to the stage of life. I can only describe her as graceful in English. The dictionary translates this word as "elegant" and "well-balanced." Neither can express it.A few nights ago, a group of us also discussed the word grace when we had dinner, and studied its relationship with religion, which is the grace of God. A State of Grace is a state of God's grace.If you use Tianci in Chinese, it is a bit vulgar. The owner of the restaurant Wu asked to take a photo with Ms. Chen as a private collection, and I will take the camera.After the shoot, I didn't insist on losing, and took a picture with her.Shouted: "Deadly!" After dinner, I drove to the Flower Market for a walk. Ms. Chen had never been here before, so she felt novelty everywhere, and asked again and again about the name of the flower. "What's this?" she asked, pointing to a bunch of plants. "Nepenthes." I said, "Imported from Holland, changed the name of a Nepenthes into the water, and sold very well." "Hong Kong people really know how to do business," she said. At this time, a middle-aged woman appeared, and excitedly greeted Sister Baozhu.Ms. Chen turned around and recognized her immediately, and said to me, "It's my fan." Immediately, memories of the two gangs fighting appeared in the video. Ms. Chen asked her, "How old are you this year?" "Forty-seven." She replied shyly. "Where's my sister?" Ms. Chen still remembered.The middle-aged woman immediately contacted her with a mobile phone, and Ms. Chen had a friendly chat with her, and after picking up the line, she told my sister that she was even more crazy back then. The middle-aged woman also told a secret that Ms. Chen knew how to grow flowers, but she never mentioned it. "Call me Baozhu, or my English name." She said to me. I smiled and said nothing.Called Miss Chen, because in our minds, she will always be Miss. At the flower market, Mrs. He and Ms. Chen Baozhu asked me: "Which flower do you like best?" "Peony." I didn't hesitate. Today's peonies are all shipped from the Netherlands, and they are very large.Pink is the most common, but there are also bright red ones.Once upon a time, there were no peonies in the flower market. "It's too expensive." The owner of the florist said, "It's unbearable to display. It will be in full bloom in two or three days. If no one comes to buy it, it will be so wasted." Everyone has different ambitions and hobbies.I think it is also expensive to pay five yuan and ten yuan to buy the Mark Six lottery.Betting during the racing season is a waste of money.Playing a game console for one hundred and two hundred is not my favorite. I usually buy five flowers, and they will bloom in full bloom that night. The pink ones bloom the fastest, and they can be placed for two or three days, which is considered good.But the most frustrating thing is that two of the buds didn't move at all.We Nanyang people call it "Lugu", which has become the meaning of idiot. Mrs. He and Ms. Chen Baozhu bought a bunch and gave it to me when we parted.They chose a dark red, almost purple new variety, which is very rare.The price is more expensive than the pink one.When I got home, I put it in a Bizen-yaki vase, and three flowers bloomed that night. The flowers were like velvet, so beautiful.and.In the middle of the night, there was a burst of fragrance. On the second day and the third day, the other two flower buds remained the same. Is it Lugu again? I ran to the flower shop to ask, but the boss was always taciturn and held out two fingers. It means that it will be opened in two days.One flower bloomed on the fourth day, and another flower bloomed on the fifth day. The first three flowers in full bloom had withered, and the flowers fell all over the floor, irregularly, like an abstract painting, with another beauty. Before leaving, I still remember the exhortation of the flower shop owner: cut off the stem a little.I did it, and it worked.There is another characteristic of peony: when other flowers are inserted in water, the branches will emit a peculiar smell after soaking, only peony is an exception.More than 100 yuan in exchange for nearly a week of happiness, who said it is expensive? Please help quickly, otherwise the flower shop will not import.We're going to be lonely again. My friend Mr. Ho started a family from scratch. This year marks his 25th wedding anniversary. "Promise me, don't make any new investments." His wife said to him, "This year, stay with me for a year." That was three months ago, and Mr. He came to me now: "It turns out that it is so hard not to do anything." I laughed: "You can go out for a walk." "Where can I go?" "It's the end of August now, let's design a one-year itinerary, starting from the beginning of September." I said. "Where should we fly first?" "New York." I said, "The weather in New York is the best in September, and it's a bit chilly. A thin sweater is enough. " "The United States has only two" years of culture, what fun is there in New York? The food is not as good as many places. ""you are wrong. "I said, 'New York is not America.She is unique.There are many good restaurants. In the 1940s, the rich bought all the European culture. The Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art over there can see the most exciting things, and the Bucklin Bridge is also beautiful.The angle you look at will be the same as that of Aaron Ten. Almost every department building has made a movie background, and you can enjoy it one by one. " "and then?" "Then go to the south of France. This is the end of the grape harvest and the time when the food is most abundant. In the lazy afternoon, the light shines through the cracks in the leaves. Every angle is an impressionist painting. In January, flying It’s very close to Munich, where there’s an Oktoberfest, where five million liters of beer and 400,000 sausages are drunk every year, and a year’s worth of beer can be drunk within a few days.” "My wife doesn't drink." Mr. He said. "Then take her to Bixige. From October 11 to November, there is a festival of the dead over there." "Aren't you cursing my wife?" asked Mr. He. "Absolutely not. Anywhere in Mexico, people in the streets and alleys are celebrating. Adults make white sugar into a skull for children to eat. Face death. You don't have to be afraid of death. It will also help your life Yes. I think this carnival is something we must attend once in our lifetime." "Where else can we go in Sichuan in November?" "The weather in Europe is getting colder. On the opposite side of the earth, it is the beginning of spring in Australia. It is very mild. New Zealand is also worth visiting." "My wife said it's boring over there, what about December? "December has entered the Christmas atmosphere. Western European countries are too advanced and commercialized. It is better to start from Hungary and go to the Czech Republic for Christmas. Look for the old traces of Bohemia. Christmas there, everyone gets Take out a bottle of what they think is the best wine and bury it in the snow, and everyone will look for it separately, if you can find it, it will be yours, adults are like children desperately looking for it." "Isn't it too cold? What about January?" In January, you can go to Southeast Asia that you have never been to, such as Angkor Wat in Cambodia.There is a slow boat in Myanmar that is very luxurious, and few people know how to appreciate it. Taking it to see the Buddha statues on the west bank is also very artistic. " "My wife is Catholic. What about February?" "Come back for the Lunar New Year. Otherwise, fly to Brazil in the first week of February." "Going all the way to Brazil: factory what?" "Ha, there is the most lively Samba festival in the world, it's crazy to the extreme, dancing along the street, if you still have the energy, you can do something like that with the local women." "I'm afraid my heart can't take it," said Mr. He, "and neither can my wife." "Then go to Venice. The show there is from February 1st to 12th. Everyone wears ancient clothes and masks. There is also a rowing race, which is more elegant than the dragon boat. On the last day, Everyone gathered in St. Mark's Square, took off their masks, and shouted: "Go, go, go, it's very enjoyable.". "I've seen the photos, and my wife said that wearing a mask looks like a ghost." "There are not many carnivals in March. You can go to various museums in major European cities to see paintings, go to Zhandong flea market, and eat in famous restaurants." "My wife doesn't appreciate art. What about the April show?" "It's best to go to Thailand to participate in their Songkran Festival in April. From the 3rd to the 15th, go to Chiang Mai. It's not as big as Bangkok, and the water is more refined. Some girls see you passing by. Take some water and pour it on your shoulders to bless you. On April 5th, go to Luoyang to see peonies, the most luxurious. After seeing the flowers in Luoyang, fly to Japan to enjoy the cherry blossoms, because the temperature is different every year, blooming early and late I don’t know about it, but during this period of time I went to Japan, from south to north, and I flew to see it wherever there was, it’s also called forced cherry blossoms.” "My wife still likes to go to department stores more, how about May, June and July?" "During this period, it is the most suitable time to visit Northern Europe. It's not so cold. Taking a cruise is better than flying. Thousands of small islands pass by before your eyes. It's an experience you can't get by flying. Go to Russia and watch fishermen on the Volga River. I just caught a sturgeon bigger than a human, and I ate the freshest roe, and I can't finish looking at the paintings in the royal collection of St. Petersburg in a week." "My wife is afraid of hard work. It's August. Where can I go?" "It's a good August. From the 26th to the 8th of February, the British NO Tintin ING HILl Carnival has the most artistic atmosphere. A little earlier, on the 2:13th, go to VALENCIAS BUNYOL in Spain to participate in the tomato battle. Big trucks of tomatoes are thrown at you non-stop, and everyone is rejuvenated." "However, my wife thinks it's dirty." Mr. He said. I lazily said, "It must be fun to stay in Hong Kong with your wife."
