Back in the room, Gao Shenghan turned on the computer, logged on to 6QQ, and finished reading "What a Little Villain" written by the master, he couldn't wait to enter the space of Master Jiang's "plantain". Pen'Ω Fun Ω Pavilion .

Entering the master's space, Gao Shenghan was taken aback: where is the master just an old pharmacist who sticks to the front line of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland, and where is he just a kind old grandfather!

In his early fifties, the master with frost on his temples, a master who doesn't speak much and usually drinks two sips of wine, turned out to be an author who writes poetry and prose, writes journals, and is still writing long stories!

At this time, Gao Shenghan understood why the master always locked himself in his room after work, it turned out that he was also a drifter who came out of his hometown "plantain cottage", and before coming to Shanghai, he used to be a "North Drifter".

It's hard to imagine that the master who is already aware of the destiny of heaven is actually a "hermit" who has the world in mind,—— didn't the ancients say that the great hidden in the city?

Because a few days ago, Gao Shenghan had a big conflict with a middle-aged customer in Shanghai, and Gao Shenghan carefully read an essay written by the master "Shanghai Men and Others".

Let's first go through Master Jiang's works to have a deeper understanding of the inner world of this "plantain".

Shanghai Men and Others

Professor Yi Zhongtian of Xiamen University has a long "Reading the City", which introduces in detail and macroscopically: "Beijing City", "Shanghai Tang", and "City and People". To sum it up in two words, it is "high view".

When I write about Shanghai men, I can only "see them". It's just because I'm in this mountain. Part-time workers who can't stand at such a height of looking at the overall situation may be blind. Of course, it is also possible to "peek at a leopard and see the whole body".

Since 2oo6, I have worked in Beijing and Shanghai, and what impressed me most about these two metropolises is the good order and the sense of security.

The feeling that Beijing men gave me can be summed up in two words: "awesome". The kind of people who are very proud of doing things, talking, and walking, "awesome" and "stupid" are the mantras I hear the most.

Shanghai men are different. It is said that Shanghai men are very "motherly", but I don't think so. Of course, Shanghai men are certainly not the kind of "domineering" exposed. I think Shanghai men are too funny, they like to play with some humor, they like to twist and turn, and tease you.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, I went to the store in Changning District to work overtime.

There was a middle-aged man who came to buy medicine, and as soon as he walked in the door, I was polite: "What do you need?" He asked seriously: "Forcing the rabbit to cut down?"

He wasn't entirely wrong, but it was a little uncomfortable to hear. First, I borrowed it for overtime during the Spring Festival, and second, after all, I haven't been exposed to Western medicine for two months. I said, "I didn't hear you clearly, you say it again." ”

"Rabbit. ”

"Rabbit?" I was a little uncertain and said, "Is it VB2?"

"That's it, isn't to be 2?"

To be honest, if it weren't for the revelation of the day before, I wouldn't have thought of it like this anyway. The day before yesterday, a male customer also asked me, "Forcing two to cut down?"

The bridge ?——of the nose must not be bought and sold, it must be related to the nose, so I asked, "Is it a rhinitis medicine?"

"Forced two, what rhinitis medicine wow. He looked unimpressed.

"It's B2. An aunt next to me was a little stunned when she saw me and reminded me.

"Is it vitamin B2, VB2?" I want to confirm that medicines cannot be returned.

The Shanghai man was a little gloating, "Forcing two, isn't it B2?"

Vitamin B2 tablets, the standard abbreviation is "VB2". You say "B2", so-so makes sense; If you say "B two", it's a little funny, but it makes some sense, even if it's a silence. In China, when you say "Bto", isn't it a bit of a trick?

to, English is 2, not bad at all, but is there a 2 like you?

If you have studied French, German, Russian, etc., and say all of them, do you say that you don't want to let the salesperson live?

Beijing, Shanghai. Awesome, stupid, Btwo, Bto. It's easy to see the differences, but do you have anything in common?

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, there are very few customers who come to the pharmacy, and the end of work is early, so think about some funny and non-funny things, and the day passes quickly.

On the way off work, I bought a mandarin fish and jumped around. Think about the New Year, it's extravagant, isn't it just 25 yuan a piece, it's more than a catty, and it's no problem for one person to eat for three or five days.

Along the way, think about the delicious food that is about to reach your mouth, and think about the brain turn much faster today than yesterday, which is a little delicious.

Passing by a snack bar, the owner was a fellow, and he told me to go in and sit and smoke a cigarette. Sit and sit, we are usually busy, and we rarely sit down to talk.

We chatted all over the world, and the mandarin fish in the bag was gone, and we crackled and protested.

"Bought fish to eat?" asked the fellow.

"I bought a mandarin fish and improved the food. I said happily.

"The people in the house (fellow villagers), don't buy such live fish. Eating well is not eating expensive. The fellow said seriously.

I thought I had misheard and looked at him suspiciously.

"I used to be a fisherman, and our whole village lived on the continent, and we have been fishing for generations, but then the river was polluted and we couldn't catch fish. ”

"Isn't it true that live fish are not dead fish?"

"Of course, it depends on what kind of fish, most of the scaleless fish out of the water have a higher survival rate than the scales, in order to make the fish survive for a long time, sell at a good price, many fish sellers will buy a kind of pills and put them in the water of fish farming, put the pills on the fish, the fish will be broken when cooked, and it is not good to eat too much. ”

Suddenly, I felt like thunder, and my heart rose with anger!

Fake medicines, fake wine, Zhu Danhong, gutter oil, dyed fruits, rice, soaked meat skins and carrots, paper buns, and so on, and now there are still live fish that have taken medicine! Those merchants who see the money are simply losing their conscience!

I couldn't sit still, my heart was panicking, the fish hadn't burned yet, and my mouth was already tasteless.

Bidding farewell to his fellow countrymen, although he was indignant in his heart, he suddenly became lazy, lazily carrying his bag, lazily carrying a small bag containing mandarin fish, and lazily walking on the sidewalk with few pedestrians, completely lacking the good mood when he got off work.

Think about yourself at such an age, how can you still make such a low-level mistake?

Of the scaly fish we usually eat, only crucian carp has the longest survival time, followed by carp, grass carp is also okay, and the others are difficult to survive in the environment of leaving the mother water, and rare fish such as mandarin fish are even more so. They are rare because of their poor survivability.

It's very basic common sense, how could I ignore it?

Oh my God! If every day of our life is like on the battlefield, one by one, one by one, step by step, we have to be careful of minefields, we have to beware of traps, what do we want the government to do?

Isn't it just a fish, what do you need to complain about, is it worth your indignation?

Actually, what's the use of you just whining! Why should you be indignant! Why should you have trouble with yourself, why should you eat salty radishes and worry about it?

The sky has already darkened, and I feel a little cold and windy in the spring in Shanghai. In the past, when I walked in the winter in Shanghai, I felt warm, but in the autumn in Shanghai, I remember that I was often full of poetry.

One day was also on the way to get off work, it was a bleak autumn night, after work, dragging tired footsteps, looking at the fallen leaves in the ground, a sentence popped out of my mind, "The fallen leaves are colorful and the sorrow of thousands of years floats......

Many times I wanted to find that feeling, to continue the inexplicable "sadness" at the beginning.

At this moment, while walking, I looked at the French plane trees on the side of the road, and looked for the yellow leaves on the plane trees that had not yet withered, and at the same time looked for the inexplicable feeling at the beginning.

- I need a different state of mind, just like a lovelorn person needs another love to get out of the pain.

Just when he was about to get out of the bad mood, there was a quarrel diagonally opposite, it was the voice of a Shanghai man, his voice was not small, but the smell of gunpowder was not strong.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm too lazy to bother with other places, so why bother if there's nothing to do?

But in Beijing and Shanghai, I'm not worried at all. I fully trust the police in Beijing and Shanghai, knowing that they will come when they are called, or even if they don't have to be called. They will protect the city day and night, every minute and every second. Hehe, not to mention that there is a road in between.

I slowed down and wanted to take a look, just curious, I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't gloat.

I have seen all kinds of bloody Shanghai beaches, of course, I have seen them from film and television dramas, and I have never seen Shanghainese people quarrel with my own eyes. During the war years, there was not a single general in Shanghai, and you know that Shanghai locals really don't like to charge into battle.

When you look closely, it's really funny. There were seven or eight people on the sidewalk diagonally opposite, two on one side and five or six on the other, most of them in their thirties, and some of them were younger.

On the side with a lot of people, one person pointed to the face of one of the other people, "Believe it or not, Allah will beat Nong?", "Believe it or not, Allah will beat Nong?"

At first I thought it would definitely not really be done, as the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. I didn't expect to really do it. It was the person on the other side of the crowd who spoke that did it. He slapped the other party twice.

It's just that the verb is inaccurate with "hit", and it is not accurate with "pump", and it is even more inaccurate with "fan", and I feel that only "touch" is more accurate.

Maybe others will say that I am funny, because the occasion is not right, the atmosphere is not right, the thing is not right, the person is not right, what to touch!

I couldn't find the exact verb, and I couldn't describe it. Let's put it this way, everybody has seen the movie, there are slap shots in it, you imagine the picture in slow motion, slow down, slow down, slow down, just see the hand slowly drift by.

Gone, don't look at it, can't watch it anymore, watch it like that, okay, don't talk about it, can't go on, I'm sorry to keep talking.

Besides, if the Shanghai man sees it, he will be unhappy. They will think that I am at least biased.

Actually, I think it's okay, we are all civilized people in a civilized society, and we shouldn't be rude, and gentlemen don't use their hands. If you really want to do it, just mean it like this,

The kind that fights all over the ground and looks for teeth, the consequences are very serious!

Besides, what should I do if I eat without teeth? How can I eat vegetables without teeth? How can I eat fish without teeth? What the hell, how did I get the fish again?

When I think of fish, I can't think of the mercenary merchants, and I can't think of the bad deeds that have lost my conscience.

The people live on food. I already know my destiny. But I can't think of my granddaughter, I can't think of the children who are as innocent as her, I can't think of our government, I can't think of the functional departments of our government......

Why do food problems persist repeatedly? Why do they keep happening? Why?

Are our laws as pale as a blank sheet of paper?

Is our punishment like the man who fought just now, you fight, I don't fight, and I don't have to fight at all, it definitely doesn't hurt, at most it's a little itchy.

I like Yi Zhongtian because of "The Hundred Lectures", and I read "Reading the City" because of Yi Zhongtian. He can tell what he has seen and heard in a high-end and high-grade manner, because he is a professor, he is everyone, and he can stand tall and see far.

I really can't, I'm just a worker, a lonely grass farmer, at best a wandering "troubadour", I can only talk about the people and things around me; I can only dream that one day when I buy food, just like walking in the streets and alleys of Beijing and Shanghai anytime and anywhere, so assured, so comfortable, so relieved!
