Chapter 34: Night Style
"Thank you. ”
After getting off the taxi, Wei Kun thanked the driver in the Cantonese he had just learned, which was not good, but the driver still returned the favor with a kind smile.
After getting off the bus, the name of the land under your feet is Mong Kok, as one of the place names that have appeared the most times in all kinds of Hong Kong films, 'Mong Kok' and 'Tsim Sha Tsui', 'Causeway Bay' and 'Central' are known as Hong Kong's "four major business cards", how can you travel to Hong Kong without visiting Mong Kok?
If you have to talk about the first feeling after getting off the bus, there are many people!
One question is this: what is the most "prosperous" in Mong Kok?
Mong Kok is praised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the most densely populated area in the world, and it is prosperous in the morning and evening, even in the early morning, and even in the early morning, there are so many people in Mong Kok!
Although it is not the tourist season to visit Hong Kong at this time, as the most crowded area in Hong Kong listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, it is not only tourists, because of its wide variety of shops and low prices, and it is also a popular place for locals to shop. Due to traffic problems such as pedestrian and vehicular disputes, Hong Kong began to introduce pedestrian zones, and set up part of Sai Yeung Choi Street South and Dundas Street in Mong Kok as time pedestrian streets in a trial form, and since then, this characteristic pedestrian street has become one of the iconic symbols of Hong Kong.
Whether you've been to Hong Kong or not, you've seen the lights and shadows of this street in many movies and TV productions, and it's not only an old place for many Hong Kong people to spend time, but also a huge attraction for tourists from all over the world. The pedestrian area was originally set up to alleviate the congestion of people and vehicles and improve traffic safety, but because of the dense flow of people and tourists, a free open-air stage was inadvertently built for folk singers and street performers, and gradually formed a unique street culture in Hong Kong. This new cultural shock initially drove the flow of people and merchants' consumption, and some performers even made their debut in popularity.
Slowly moving forward with the flow of people, the dazzling array of goods around is dazzling and overwhelming, the cries of selling one after another are endless, and the aroma of all kinds of snacks on both sides of the road makes people want to buy something and try it.
Women are always not fed, just after dinner came over to take a stroll around to eliminate food, saw the roadside stall selling curry fish balls, etc., or curry fish balls, Fang Yue couldn't help but stop and buy a few skewers.
"You taste this. Fang Yue tasted a curry fish ball, his eyes lit up, and he patted Wei Kun's arm and recommended it.
"Is it delicious?" Wei Kun was suspicious, because he had just eaten, and he was not hungry, so he only ate one, and handed the rest to Fang Yue.
Before eating, Wei Kun was suspicious, after the fish balls were in his mouth, he was still a little surprised, the taste of the Q bomb and the tight meat feeling, the seemingly simple cooking of the fish balls was still very delicious.
Fang Yue, who was following Wei Kun's side, was chatting with him while eating a few strings of fish balls, and her mood had also improved a lot because of the food.
"What is this?"
Along the way, Fang Yue's whole person has become a curious baby, no matter what he sees, he feels novel, in Wei Kun's eyes, Mong Kok can be regarded as a 'Yiwu Commodity City', but in the eyes of women, it is a paradise for shopping, which attracts their attention more than the high-end shopping malls in Central. After all, it is also a pleasure for women to bargain, and regardless of the price, buying and buying deprives them of fun to a certain extent, so they naturally prefer it here.
Passing by the Women's Market, it is commonly known as the Women's Market because most of the items sold by the stalls in the early days of the street here are mainly women's clothing and women's products. Today, Ladies Market has become a shopping and sightseeing destination for Hong Kong residents and tourists, and the items sold have become more diversified, including various household items, men's and women's clothing, cosmetics, handbags, watches, accessories, toys, aromatherapy and so on.
When she came here, Fang Yue started her own battle, holding crispy fried intestines, fish balls, and egg waffles in her hands, and cut the price with the shopkeeper, before she came, she also specially learned a few words of bargaining Cantonese, not to mention the most standard of these words, and if she was not careful, she would mistake her for a local.
"The real price?"
"That's it. ”
"What is the minimum?"
"Forget it!"
After blurting out a set of Ugandan Cantonese, Fang Yue motioned for him to turn around and leave, and then heard the boss behind him shout in a rather helpless tone, "Come back, come back!"
After hearing the boss's words, she couldn't help but smile like a fox catching a chick, and her complacent attitude after the success of the plan was all on her face, but when she turned to face the boss, she restrained her expression again, and signaled the boss to pack up, because she didn't learn the 'packed' Cantonese well.
A few pieces of clothing were cheaper by more than two hundred Hong Kong dollars, Fang Yue held Wei Kun's arm and showed a little fox-like smile, "Did I speak a few words of Cantonese just now quite standard?"
"Yes. Wei Kun nodded.
It's not standard, she asked Zhu Chenli for advice at lunchtime, although she has no talent in learning Cantonese, but these words are extremely good, enough to confuse the truth.
"The boss gave a six-to-five discount on a few clothes, hehe. ”
The first time she used her bargaining skills, she was a little rusty, but she became proficient after more times, she bargained with the boss in front, and Wei Kun followed behind as a porter, this is not like the Central shopping mall, where good things will be delivered to the hotel, and he can only work hard.
Following the flow of people out of the women's street, the two turned to a small street that could not be named, surrounded by all kinds of light box signboards, "Beigu", "Taimei", "Golden Silk Cat", "Tuodi", "Shiatsu Center", "Foot Bath", "Tuina" and other words were printed on it, and there were many exposed posters on the wall, and words such as "wet body ** clamping dead boy" were particularly eye-catching.
Although I don't know what place this is, looking at the ambiguous lighting and color mixing around and the men and women who enter and leave the building from time to time, I can guess in my heart that this may be the legendary 'Lou Feng' street. I've only seen it in Hong Kong films before, but now I feel very different when I walk here.
"We went back. ”
Turning here, Fang Yue tugged on Wei Kun's sleeve and said.
Although Wei Kun didn't have the desire to go up to experience it, it was still very good to take a look around here and experience the night life of Hong Kong, but when Fang Yue insisted on leaving, Wei Kun didn't stay long, and went back with the flow of people.
After eating the snacks in his hand, he threw the bamboo sticks into the trash, and it didn't take long for Wei Kun to notice that Fang Yue was holding his lower abdomen with his hand, and his expression was a little ugly.
"What's the matter, did you have a bad stomach?" Wei Kun asked with concern.
Fang Yue was a little embarrassed, and not long after dinner, he ate a lot of snacks, and explained in a low voice with a red face, "It's up." ”
"It's okay, let's turn around a few more times to eliminate food, it's really not okay, I'll work hard when I go back at night to help you digest and digest." ”
After saying this, the flush on Fang Yue's face became even more obvious.
