Chapter 111: There Are Tigers in the Mountains
According to the principles of biology, given the area of Hong Kong Island, including Kowloon and the New Territories, even if the ecological environment is not destroyed at all, there can be no tigers.
The amount of food eaten by the tiger is amazing, and the weight of meat can reach 40 catties at a time! Although it is only three or five days to eat. But living all year round, in this place with a big palm, all the creatures added up are not enough for a tiger to eat!
However, this does not prevent tigers from vacationing here.
At this time, although China also had a population of hundreds of millions, it was concentrated. There are only a few dozen modern cities. In addition to these towns, there are vast mountains and forests that have not been ecologically damaged.
The tigers who come to Hong Kong for vacation come from Jiangxi or Fujian. Because of the shortage of food in winter, I went all the way south and instinctively headed towards a place where food was abundant. Swam across the not wide strait and landed in Hong Kong. Among them, Lantau Island is a sparsely populated mountain with high mountains and dense forests, and it is also a favorite of tigers for vacation. These tigers come here to spend the winter, and only return when spring and summer meet.
Qing Xiaoyi, with a few teenagers and a group of children, originally planned to live near Lantau Island, where housing prices are cheap. However, after clearly hearing the roar of the tiger in the mountains, he had to move to the Tsim Sha Tsui area, which was more prosperous in Hong Kong at this time.
This place has a large population and is far away from the wild mountains, which makes Qing Xiaoyi feel at ease.
Before Yu Sheng came to Hong Kong, he had already reported to the educated youth Xiaoyi through the telegram on the passenger ship. So, the meeting between the two went very smoothly. After everything settled down, Yu Sheng told Qing Xiaoyi about the battle between Chen Tian and many Japanese masters after she and the children left. Qing Xiaoyi listened to the thrilling, at this moment, the night rain was falling, and the candles in the west window were cut, and the two people sitting opposite each other felt that it was so thrilling, as if they were in another world.
The day after he arrived in Hong Kong, the typhoon passed through. For the rest of his life, he lived in the north, and even when he traveled to the south, he looked at the weather forecast and avoided typhoons and rains. In the news, although there are all kinds of hazards caused by typhoons, I have never experienced them personally. At this time, I experienced it and realized that it was extraordinary.
Those who stay in the house can't get out at all. After the branches of a large section of street trees were blown off by the strong wind, they were huddled together in a heap in the direction of the wind. Between heaven and earth, in addition to the unbridled wind, it seems to be endless rain. It was as if someone had turned on the faucet that God treasured, and the immeasurable amount of water flowed down the window like a waterfall. And from the vague sounds and shadows, we can judge for the rest of my life that it is not only rain that falls from the sky. All kinds of debris blown by the strong wind also intermittently fell on the roofs and yards. Sometimes, it will be smashed against the window.
In the wind and rain, the sky is dark, and the world is chaotic.
Fortunately, Qing Xiaoyi listened to the words of the rest of her life, and after moving to Tsim Sha Tsui, she rented a single-family villa at a high price that was more spacious than the villa in Shanghai for the rest of her life. And paid three years of rent in one go. Otherwise, it will be this typhoon, a disaster that ordinary people and newcomers like them cannot afford.
This storm lasted for three days, and on the third day, the wind and rain gradually stopped. And on the fifth day, I really saw a sunny day. The rest of his life inspected the debris on the roof and in the courtyard, except for a few shoes, some broken bamboo utensils, and a fish the size of a finger's belly.
For the rest of my life, I remembered that Hong Kong was originally a good place to eat seafood. So he called everyone and went to the market to buy seafood. Although no one goes out to sea in the past few days after the typhoon passes, once the typhoon passes, there will always be seafood blown ashore by the wind and waves. Seafood in shallow waters is also more susceptible to wind and waves.
At this time, Hong Kong's seafood market did not disappoint for the rest of his life. At the beach near Stanley in southern Hong Kong, sea cucumbers can be found in the crevices of the reef at low tide. It's not big, but it's delicious. After the passage of the typhoon in the past few days, the tide receded, and the number of sea cucumbers not only did not decrease, but increased a lot. I don't know why.
And sea cucumber is the favorite seafood for the rest of my life. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": sea cucumber, sweet and salty, tonifying the kidney, benefiting the essence, taking urine, aphrodisiac and curing impotence, its sexual temperature supplement, enough enemy ginseng, hence the name sea cucumber. In later generations, sea cucumber is also a nourishing famous product, in addition to not being able to bring the dead back to life, basically all the medicinal effects that can be thought of have been touted over and over again by merchants in advertising.
In Cantonese cuisine, the most delicious dish of sea cucumber is oolong Tuzhu, however, the rest of the life of pure northerners in later generations still likes to eat sea cucumber with green onions. Although, there are many southern dishes that do not accept onion and garlic seasoning. But this is obviously not a problem for Qing Xiaoyi and a group of teenagers and children who used to eat well.
The rest of his life and his party almost bought out the sea cucumbers in the market and the few green onions they could find. Back at home, dozens of people worked together to make a meal of fried sea cucumber with green onions.
Of course, sea cucumbers aren't just a delicious seafood. Hong Kong seafood, the most representative, is grouper. Grouper has a lot of meat and is delicious. In later generations, it is also a high-grade seafood. At this time, Hong Kong is people's favorite. And this custom has continued to later generations, and even the University of Hong Kong in later generations has done a special investigation and study of grouper in the context of the world's excessive fishing of marine fish.
In 2009, more than 275,000 tonnes of grouper were eaten worldwide. That's about 90 million. Of the 163 grouper species, 20 are at risk of extinction. And five of them have been eaten by humans as endangered species.
However, in this era, groupers have no worries about extinction at all. Even because of the war between humans, marine life has been able to multiply and increase in numbers. Therefore, the rest of his life and Qing Xiaoyi and others can eat happily. Two huge steamed groupers, almost in an instant, were left with only a skeleton.
And just when everyone was eating and drinking, there was a knock on the door of the villa where Yu Sheng lived. Everyone was stunned, saying that they had no acquaintances in Hong Kong. Who will come to the door? Could it be that the Japanese are thieves who do not die?
The rest of his life is the highest, of course, he will open the door. After opening the door, I saw a polite round-faced man standing outside the door, wearing a pair of huge glasses. Just as this man was about to introduce himself, the more he looked at this man for the rest of his life, the more familiar he became. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he remembered the photos he had seen in later generations, and exclaimed: "You are Cai Chusheng!" ”
