They walked along Jardine Street into Causeway Bay and wandered around the area, mainly to buy some of their favorite things and eat some snacks with special characteristics. They were passing through a jewelry mall, had already walked through, Zhao Wei XX remembered and wanted to go in to see, so they turned around and walked into the jewelry mall, and saw a dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, everything is really surprisingly cheap, the current gold price is only more than 100 US dollars per ounce, and the highest price of gold before Zhao Weidong crossed has reached a sky-high price of 1920 (US dollars / ounce), the high price of gold and silver jewelry can be imagined. The two of them looked here and there, and saw the jade counter, Zhao Weidong looked more carefully in this piece, because the top jade in later generations are sky-high, look at the price of jade now, it is really too cheap at this time, and the good jade carvings are only dozens, hundreds, thousands, and the best ones are only tens of thousands.

Zhao Weidong knew that in later generations, the quality of glass jadeite itself, the market, the lack of raw materials, the emergence of collection fever and other comprehensive reasons, so that the price of glass jadeite is dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, the thumb-sized high-gloss colorless glass jadeite was rarely interested, and the price was about one or two hundred yuan, but the current price is as high as more than one hundred thousand yuan, which is about 100 times the original. The original high-gloss, colorless glass jadeite bracelet can be bought for about 1,000 yuan, but later it takes hundreds of thousands of yuan to nearly one million yuan to buy, which shows that the glass jadeite has risen greatly. Because of the rare color, the increase in colored glass jadeite is even more bizarre, but this is where the appreciation charm of glass jadeite lies. At that time, there was such a saying in the jadeite market: as long as the jadeite sticks to the water, the price is too high to see, and if there is a color, it is even more incomprehensible. The quality and potential appreciation of glass jadeite are very attractive, attracting the attention of countless jade lovers, but because of its high price, many consumers are discouraged, and they can only be the choice of those with superior economic conditions or collectors.

Now but a few decades ago, it is even cheaper, and now the low-grade jadeite is the future high-end jadeite, Zhao Weidong plans to buy some glass jadeite as a souvenir for his family, but also to buy a few of her likes for Qianru, Hong Kong people are Cantonese, they don't speak, but every Hong Kong person can speak English, just communicate with them in English, Zhao Weidong said to the saleswoman:

"Excuse me, sir, can you introduce me to your best jade?"

Originally, the saleswoman saw the two children looking at the jade, thinking that she was just watching and playing, but she didn't expect to introduce her, this is not full of food, you don't buy it and let me tell you something, she pretended not to hear it, ignored it, Zhao Weidong was a little angry, what happened to this saleswoman, how to ignore people, so she repeated what she just said again:

"Excuse me, sir, can you introduce me to your best jade?"

I didn't think that the saleswoman still ignored it, this time, Zhao Weidong was angry, originally said that the capitalist society is very service-oriented, but I didn't expect that I wanted to buy something, and I was ignored by others, it was really "tolerable, which is unbearable", to complain, Zhao Weidong loudly asked to see the person in charge, and when he was arguing, he saw a person in charge coming over, and the saleswoman hurriedly caught up, and the person in charge asked:

"What the hell is going on, why did you quarrel with the guests?"

"Manager Shen, that's the case, these two children, take a look here, take a walk, we are all welcome, but he asked me to introduce him to the best jade, you said that they didn't come to buy jade, I introduced them to what the jade does, but we are not the school has the obligation to answer the students' questions about knowledge, so we didn't introduce it to him, but I didn't expect him to quarrel."

"Oh, is it so?"

"Yes, Manager Shen, that's it."

"Children, we are still very welcome for you to come here to play and have a look, but it is not good to come to our salesman for trouble."

"Excuse me, Manager Shen, I want to buy something, you don't introduce me to the product, is it reasonable?"

"What? Are you going to buy something? ”

"Yes, if I don't buy anything, ask what I'm doing, I'm full of food and nothing to do, I don't even understand this basic common sense, do I mean you have a low IQ, or a poor service attitude."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's what we didn't do right, the customer is God, for the mistake of our salesperson, I apologize on behalf of the company, and promise to give a 20% discount on all the items purchased by Mr. today."

"Since you have the sincerity to apologize, then I will accept your apology, so can you introduce me to the best jade products in your store now?"

"Okay, no problem, then I'll introduce you to the fine jade in our store, our store has ancient jade, new jade, jadeite jade, mutton fat jade, and the color is very good."

"Okay, take it out and I'll take a look."

Manager Shen asked the saleswoman to take out the best jade, and soon the dazzling jade was placed in front of Zhao Weidong, he asked Ye Qianru to pick out his favorite jade ornaments, Zhao Weidong secretly sighed in his heart that the current jade materials are really sufficient, and they will not look thin like later generations, there is basically no jade counterfeiting in this era, because the raw materials are sufficient, and there is no fashion for collection, and jade is still a rare stone in the eyes of most people, plus Hong Kong is a duty-free paradise, and things are super cheap, Zhao Weidong left the best top ones introduced by Manager Shen, the selection of jadeite is all glass species, several pieces are imperial green, among which there is a pair of jadeite bracelets The green is completely dissolved in the "ground", the green is uniform, and the color "ground" is coordinated. The tone is neither strong nor light, and the color root is not visible. From the "ground" of jadeite reveals the gorgeous and beautiful beauty, this must be the highest quality variety of jadeite - dragon species, the others are mostly white, floating flowers, pendants are required to be matched with platinum necklaces, and finally selected 31 bracelets, ornaments, ornaments, Ye Qianru looked at it and did not choose a piece that she particularly liked, Zhao Weidong took the lead for Ye Qianru to choose a glass imperial green ornament jade Buddha, Ye Qianru also liked it very much, so she put it on directly to Ye Qianru, Zhao Weidong looked at Ye Qianru's jade Buddha, I feel very compatible with her, and it seems that I have chosen the right one.

Immediately he thought of it again, now that there are many raw materials and low prices, there are many large pieces of high-quality jade ornaments that can also be purchased, so Zhao Weidong said:

"Manager Shen, I need some furnishings for my new house, you can help me introduce some."

Manager Shen, thinking that this child is still a rare big customer, he must take care of it, he hurriedly took Zhao Weidong to the relevant counter, and walked to this area, there are many small and medium-sized ornaments in the counter, and the large ornaments are placed on the special shelves or Bogu shelves.

"Manager Shen, I have three requirements, one is to have the best raw materials, the second is to carve the best, and the third is to be big, so you can introduce it to me according to this principle."

Manager Shen brought Zhao Weidong to the front of the eligible ornaments, and introduced five old pit glass jade carvings to Zhao Weidong, these five jade carvings are also good, they are all in a variety of colors, the most one has five colors, but the carvings are all famous, all kinds of pretty colors are used just right, complement each other, it is really beautiful, the big ones have seventy or eighty kilograms, and the small ones have one or twenty kilograms. Zhao Weidong was very satisfied and said:

"Manager Shen, settle the bill."

"Sir, do you want so much?"

"yes, don't you want me to pick it up for what? These are some small gifts for relatives and friends, which are just right, and some ornaments are just right in the new house. ”

Manager Shen didn't expect that these two children were still big customers, and they bought so many goods at once, and they wanted to get a 20% discount and felt a lot of pain, and the payment should be settled quickly, the total price was: 5.12 million Hong Kong dollars, and the 20% discount should be paid: 4.096 million Hong Kong dollars, Zhao Weidong thought that in terms of amount, the price is cheap now, but in terms of the depreciation of the currency, it will not be too cheap if it is calculated by 100 times the depreciation after a few decades.

"Manager Shen, I didn't prepare such Hong Kong dollars, can I use US dollars?"

"No problem, the US dollar is also one of the normal payment currencies we use. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is 5.05, and the actual payment is 811,089.00 US dollars. ”

Zhao Weidong took out the bank credit card to pay by card, according to the regulations, large purchases can enjoy special door-to-door delivery service, so Zhao Weidong left his home address to Manager Shen, and left the jewelry hypermarket with the relevant procedures.

The streets of Causeway Bay extend in all directions, and the two of them are walking there if they want to, and they are walking on Jardine's Street, and they see a big signboard in front of them: Wenhui Cuttlefish Ball King, this is the famous cuttlefish ball snack bar in Hong Kong. The cuttlefish here is made from 4 to 5 pounds of large cuttlefish, and it is delicious with a soup base made with pork bones and chicken, as well as smooth pho. Zhao Weidong discussed with Ye Qianru and said:

"Qianru, this is the famous cuttlefish ball snack bar in Hong Kong, let's go taste it and see how it tastes?"

"Brother, okay, okay, let's eat."

The two of them called two parts of purple ink three fresh powder, cuttlefish balls live up to expectations, tendony, very q, elastic, cuttlefish larvae are also delicious, but the taste of the powder inside is light, but with a little chili oil, the taste is different immediately, the taste is incomparable, Ye Qianru said:

"Brother, it's so delicious, I want another one."

"Qianru, we have to eat a lot of delicious food later, if you are full now, you can only watch if there is delicious food later, so you can still eat?"

"Forget it."

Ye Qianru left the store a little reluctantly, and the two continued to walk forward and came to Hennessy Road, and came to Maxim's Restaurant, there is no saying about eating breakfast in Hong Kong, some are eating morning tea, Zhao Weidong wants to experience Hong Kong's morning tea culture. pulled Ye Qianru into the Meixin Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Xingli Center, the two chose an empty card seat and sat down, and immediately a waiter came over, put the tea list on the table, and asked them to order breakfast, holding a small book in their hands, ready to record the breakfast, Zhao Weidong and Ye Qianru discussed it and ordered: a pot of Tieguanyin, a shrimp dumpling, a rice roll, a steamed phoenix feet with tempeh, and an abalone with chicken juice. The two of them were drinking tea and eating refreshments, still talking about the east and west, very free and casual, those early tastes good, and the price is also very cheap, only seventy-six Hong Kong dollars, Zhao Weidong took out one hundred Hong Kong dollars, and asked the waiter not to look for it.

They strolled around, met Yishun Fu Milk Company, a look at what kind of company, this Yishun Fu Milk Company at No. 85 Percival Street, Causeway Bay District, is actually a snack bar address, but the special double skin milk there are frozen and hot two kinds of milk is also famous after decades, I heard that it must be frozen, the taste is better, the two of them will each order a copy, a meal is indeed worthy of the name, especially the slightly wrinkled milk skin on the top is the most essential part of the whole dessie, the mellow milk fragrance is enough to wrap the tongue for three days without stopping, The two of them couldn't resist the temptation, so they asked for another one, but fortunately there was not much of it, otherwise they would fill their stomachs.

Opposite Times Square, Chi Kee Shrimp Wonton and Iced Milk Tea at Tai Hing Tea Restaurant they also tasted for street food. Zhao Weidong used to think that the food stalls placed on the street would not be very clean, which was a habit brought by later generations, because the air pollution in later generations was already very serious, but in front of such open food stalls in Hong Kong, he found that the operation of the waiters was very standardized, and there should be no problem with food hygiene. There are also chain food stalls like Jinwei (Jardine's Street, Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay), Lung Jin, etc. Here you can taste a variety of snacks such as Fu Miscellaneous made with aged marinade, fragrant curry and fish balls. There are many well-known food shops in Jardine's Place, such as Wenhui, Qiang Kee, Mai (Bu Dish), etc., all of which taste good.

What's more, Causeway Bay is also a first-class battlefield for Hong Kong noodles that I have always been interested in. For example, with Times Square as the axis, there is a "Zhen Wei" with three shrimp in the wonton in front of it, "Chi Kee", which has won the Hong Kong Food Awards, and in the street on the right, "Ho Hung Kee", which has a timeless soup and silver noodles. Even if you don't want to eat wonton, turn left and walk a short distance on Jianna Road, there are still good fish ball noodles from "Jiang Tsai Ji" to choose from.

Other snacks and snacks are also quite unique, such as the "Mi Feng", which specializes in selling huge plums and is known as the most expensive plum in Hong Kong, the "Golden Deer Tea Restaurant" with frightening business and delicious Hong Kong-style milk tea (milk tea is really the most delicious in a popular store), and the "Hong Kong and Shanghai Noodle House", which is located opposite Wenhui and has a distinctive Shanghainese rice ball and soybean milk.

And even if you just want to wander casually, the streets and alleys on the right side of Times Square are full of hairy crab shops and even markets with Chinese ingredients, so you can enjoy it when the season is right.

Walking along Causeway Bay's Thang Lung Street, Matheson Street and Jardine's Street, you can find a lot of cheap and delicious local snacks. Many of the food stalls in the area are open until late at night, so you can grab a sumptuous late-night snack before heading back to your hotel.

Bars and sushi restaurants along Xinning Road are like a market. At dusk and sunset, grab a beer at an open bar and then have a dinner at one of the cosy restaurants in Times Square, Lee Theatre Square, Percival Street or Paterson Street.

The He family began making wonton noodles in Xiguan, Guangzhou in 1946. Later, the family moved to Hong Kong, starting from a street stall, and now it is the period of the second generation of successors at the helm. From 1946 to the present, the noodle chefs of "He Hongji" have changed one after another, but they still insist on "making noodles by hand". In addition to the fact that the machine cannot adjust to many factors such as the weather, they also firmly believe that making noodles requires emotion, and the noodles made when they are happy are different from those made when they are sad. And the machine will never be able to make an emotional face.

How important is "wonton noodles" to Hong Kong? It is basically an indelible material symbol in the hearts of every Hong Kong person. It is said that there are too many Hong Kong dignitaries and celebrities who like "Ho Hung Kee" to count, so that the heads of the owners are too lazy to post their photos in the store for solicitation. And the news I got from the entertainment section of the newspaper is that the Happy Valley branch of "Ho Hung Kee" is a "Pu Point" for a number of Hong Kong celebrities, and there are reporters waiting around for a long time.

The Hong Kong-style Causeway Bay area is home to a variety of restaurants, including authentic Hong Kong-style restaurants and tea restaurants, offering signature delicacies such as Hong Kong-style milk tea, egg tarts and wonton noodles. There are also bars and fine dining restaurants, all of which are rich and frugal. The area is lined with famous shops and is home to some of the largest shopping and entertainment venues. You can enjoy the joy of shopping, but also taste all kinds of Chinese and Western food, Causeway Bay is really a must-visit place in Hong Kong, Zhao Weidong and Ye Qianru feel that today is really not worried about this trip, not only bought a lot of favorite things, but also played a lot of fun places, and ate delicious snacks, and there are more things because the stomach can not be filled and did not eat, can only wait for the next time to eat......
