SC Johnson's heart is surging, his dream has finally come true, visit the vegetable market with his idol!

In the streets and alleys of Kowloon City, you will often encounter celebrities, such as Chow Yun-fat and Johnny To. In Wan Chai Market, you will also meet Anita Yuen, as well as actor Liu Qingyun......

Looking around, you find that PRADA is directly open next to the vegetable market?

Cai Lan took the lead and began to visit the market, and sure enough, it was the same as on TV. Wherever the old man went, there were people everywhere to greet him, smile and nod, very kind.

Walking past a beef stall, he introduced: "In the 60s of the last century, in order to make beef more expensive and look fresher, vendors poured water directly into the meat, which was called buffalo meat. Whenever the beef seller suddenly talked about something to divert his attention, the shrewd grandmother would immediately ask: Is there any urging for water?"

"Isn't buying vegetables here different from the mainland?" Cai Lan saw that Johnson was a little confused, and explained: "How much pork can be cut when you buy it, not to mention a catty, just buy 30 yuan or 80 yuan, and the butcher will skillfully cut it for you, so you don't have to be embarrassed." ”

"It's more fun to buy fish, fresh fish can be sold in portions, 50 yuan for three or 100 yuan for five. When the market closes and finds that it is not very fresh, the price is immediately reduced, and it is absolutely not allowed to stay overnight. ”

Johnson looked at the prices of various ingredients, and secretly smacked his tongue, it is worthy of every inch of land, it is really expensive!

Cai Lan often goes to the mainland and understands Johnson's thoughts: "So the secret of buying vegetables here is to make a quick move, if you have the time, you like to go to the North Point Vegetable Market, which is the most common place, also called Chunyang Street." ”

"It is not only a street, but also a city, the semi-open-air market is 7 to 7 every day, gathering three religions and nine streams, 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning is the busiest time, full of street vendors and passers-by, blocking the road ahead, slow trams, ringing ding, slow forward. ”

"The tram swept over the vegetable leaves and shallots of the hawker stalls, two or three hundred meters away, the crowd was cut by the tram, and then compounded, such as the exchange, continue to buy and I sell ......"

Looking at the red wine held by Johnson, he said with a smile: "Today I have a treat, drink your red wine, come with me!"

I came to a seafood stall and said hello to the boss and asked if there was any good food?

The boss smiled and fished out a fish with a fishing net, and Cai Lan's eyes lit up and said, "Long Bao?

SC Johnson also smiled, the grouper is actually a type of grouper, characterized by fish skin wrapped around fish scales, while grouper is covered with fish skin on the outside of the scales.

Quickly asked the boss to put it up, and said satisfied: "This thing is not available every day, I usually have to call to inquire, and the store will call you if you book in advance." I was lucky enough to find a large fish, which was placed in front of the store, and immediately many people rushed to line up. ”

SC Johnson looked around and saw that there was also a delicatessen stall next to the wet market, which was a snack bar. It was lively and bustling, many guests washed their own teapots, poured tea leaves, added boiling water, and even took snacks, and the boss looked at the newspaper leisurely, without the slightest help.

Cai Lan handed the fish to Xia Long, and followed Johnson's gaze and said: "They are all decades old neighborhoods, there is breakfast at five o'clock, and it is only a few dozen yuan to eat full, this is the real market life, eating snacks, drinking strong tea, and listening to the homely words of the neighbors......"

"Pig Run, in fact, is pig liver, liver is equal to dry, not good, so it can't be done, it can only be called Run, typical feudal thought, hahaha......"

"You read that right, 10 Hong Kong dollars, and often no one buys it! Because Hong Kong people don't like to eat, they are afraid of the three highs!"

"Pork loin too, a big box is only 6 yuan, it's expensive today, I don't believe you will come first after closing the file, and all three pieces will be packed. ”

"There are many kinds of oranges, they come from all kinds of origins, and they can eat more than 200 million kilograms every year. Locals prefer Sunkist oranges or Navel, commonly known as black label oranges, for eight dollars each. ”

"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's the only commodity in reserve, and unless a permit is obtained, it is an offence to carry more than 15kg across the border, punishable by a maximum fine of HK$50,000 and imprisonment for one year!"

"Is instant noodles a synonym for junk food in the mainland? It's different here, doll noodles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, usually bored or too lazy to cook at home, and cooking for three minutes is considered a meal, so you often see the plot of cooking doll noodles on TVB......"

"Tsingtao beer is a big brand, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, two bottles will cost more than 60 fast, not cheap......"

"Potato chips are very cheap, often a dozen dollars in a big box, and children like ...... the most"

After a circle, I returned with a full load, came to the Sheng Ji food stall, handed over all the ingredients to the boss, and the two sat down, opened the red wine, and chatted while drinking.

When the wine sobered up, he helped Cai Lan with his own hands, and said respectfully: "I have read all your books, and my favorite sentence is:

"Compared to the whole universe, life is just a few decades, a momentary thing, and I hope I am a little happier. So you've been chasing happiness all your life. Travel all over the world, make friends all over the world, taste the world's food, read countless beautiful women, drink and drink tea, and write to cultivate nature. ”

Cai Lan laughed, put down the cloth bag, waved his hand and said: "Without those big truths, I summarize life in eight words: eat and drink, be happy!"

Johnson looked at the old urchin 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 has placed efficiency, system, wealth, and status between real life and the pursuit of happiness, and framed our imagination of beauty and goodness.

Over time, people are about to forget that their original intention of struggling to survive, working hard, discussing order, and speaking about rules is nothing more than living happily and freely.

Cai Lan tasted lipstick wine and said happily: "A stable life is too boring, I can't stand it, so I decided to live an interesting life." ”

"I love the poem of Cai Zhizheng, a native of the Song Dynasty: When you fall asleep, you laugh alone, and a few fishing flutes are in the waves. Life is like a dream, wealth is like smoke, seeing the world, the clouds are light and the wind is light, leisurely like a swallow. ”

"Every day, I carry a vegetable basket, visit the vegetable market, look at the fresh melons, fruits, pears and peaches and smile at myself, and I am satisfied to carry a whole basket home. A person lives with great interest every day, and his heart collides with all things in the world and has an echo, so he must not be tired of life, and he will not lose his playfulness due to the accumulation of years. ”

I have watched a lot of interviews, but when I really face Cai Lan, I can experience that kind of leisurely open-mindedness.

He can be regarded as one of the most important cultural symbols in the country, and the text can be seen everywhere in major newspapers and magazines, short, relaxed, and easy to understand, books, movies, travel, food, fashion, life, and everything from the short to the family.

Many restaurants like to hang Cai Lan's food reviews in the store as publicity, or mark the menu with the words Cai Lan's recommendation to attract customers.

He has been a film producer for 40 years, and has made a lot of efforts for the prosperity of films, writing columns, publishing hundreds of books, hosting many food programs, writing food reviews, and opening restaurants.

Record travel programs, start tour groups, take friends around the world to travel, eat, drink and have fun.

One night on a plane, suddenly encountered a turbulence, bumps, an Australian next to him grabbed the armrest of the seat, but he was drinking without panic. After the plane stabilized, the man was puzzled: Dude, have you ever died?

Cai Lan slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and said: I have lived!

Many people question, why can a foodie be called one of the four talents with Jin Yong?

The 80s and 90s of the last century was the golden age of Hong Kong Island films, and its influence extended to the mainland in the north and radiated to the whole of Southeast Asia in the south.

In a series of commercial blockbusters such as "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" starring Jackie Chan, "Lucky Star Shines" and "City Hunter", producer Cai Lan is very common.

Later, he started writing and became a free-choice writer. It's also the golden age of writing, where a few decades ago you could make millions a year just by writing. Walk into any bookstore, point to the shelves and say to the clerk: from this row to that row, pack them all!

Cai Lan stood up, went to explain a few words to the chef in person, sat down again, and said: "When I was young, I was too individual, and later I found that my personality made everyone around me unhappy, so I decided to turn around and become cheerful." ”

"Slowly understand that when others are fast, we must be slow, and when others are slow, we must be fast, and we must be different from others. Even if I sell egg rolls, everyone sells sweet, so I sell salty. ”

Picking up the yellow cloth bag he carried with him, he displayed: "On it is an embroidered image designed by a friend, and in the middle is me, meditating under a tree, squinting and smiling at salient beings. Eat and drink, let yourself live better day by day, hope to live better today than yesterday, and live better yesterday than today......"
