Butter crab dumplings are stuffed with butter crab paste, which is the best among crabs. The skin is thin and rich in soup. It is easy to burn your tongue when you bite into it. Wenren Huiyin warned Zhou Jian because she was afraid of making a fool of herself.
There are eight of these small steamed buns in a basket. Each one is not much bigger than a dumpling. The price is 198 Hong Kong dollars, with an average price of 20 yuan. This is relatively cheap on Hong Kong Island. In the final analysis, it is because it is not the best time to eat butter crab.
Seasonally, if it is the eighth month of the lunar calendar when butter crabs lay eggs, the oily juice of a steamed crab can flow into less than half a bowl.
Zhou Jian used a porcelain spoon specially designed for eating buttery clam steamed buns. He took one bite and left a full spoonful of soup. He ate the steamed bun with the soup, leaving a fresh taste between his teeth, which made people unable to bear to swallow.
It was indeed delicious, he couldn't help but praise it, but this food was really not affordable for ordinary people. If he ate it with all his strength, he would probably be 80% full after eating three or four baskets.
When the meal was about to end, Wen Renze proposed to go to the observation deck to watch the night view of Hong Kong Island. Wen Renhuiyin immediately agreed. Her aunt recovered and she was in a very good mood. Zhou Jian naturally followed her. When eating seafood on Hong Kong Island,
It is very common to enjoy the sea view.
Take the elevator to the observation deck on the top floor, where the night breeze blows slowly. Looking down, the lights are like clusters of blooming fireworks, stretching all the way to the dark and deep sea.
"It's so beautiful." Wen Renhuiyin murmured. She walked to the stone steps of the observation deck and sat down. Countless lights in the distance were reflected in the Victoria Bay, which symbolizes prosperity and romance, and was crushed by the water waves.
Colorful.
Wen Renze did not follow. Zhou Jian walked over to Wen Ren Huiyin and sat down. Looking at the bright night scene in front of him, his heart was filled with ups and downs.
This city that never sleeps is located in East Asia. The boundless noise and intoxicating feasting have thrown the memories of the quiet dark nights in the countryside into the endless misty time. Zhou Jian unknowingly remembered his parents.
The small village where I grew up, the girl next door and my childhood sweetheart who always wore twin ponytails, and even the vows they made as childhood sweethearts, maybe she will get married soon...
Recalling the peaceful life he once had, comparing it to the blurry night scene in front of him, and recalling the delicious food left in his teeth, Zhou Jian had an extremely unreal feeling, as if this prosperous and enchanting heavenly palace and the quiet and simple mountain village had never existed before.
in the same world.
He walked out of silence and came to the mortal world. In the silent struggle, he moved forward step by step, but at the same time, everything in the past had gone or was about to go away. Sometimes when he looked back, he seemed to be able to see
Elderly parents standing in the village
Under the old locust tree at the entrance, he smiled kindly at himself. Behind them was a slightly dilapidated clinic with mottled lime walls and a somewhat decayed wooden plaque. The plaque read "Chow Tai Fook Clinic" in calligraphy.
A red cross was painted with red paint next to it.
While thinking about all this, he will continue to walk, step by step into the upper class, and come into contact with people and things that he had never been exposed to before, until even the memories of the countryside begin to fade away. It seems a little reluctant, but
He won't stop...
"It's really beautiful and prosperous." Zhou Jian sighed, not knowing what he felt in his words.
Wenren Huiyin was silent, and after a long time she said faintly: "There are no stars in the night sky here, and even the moon is hazy. When I was a child, my mother told me that lights are destined to be lonely without stars to accompany them..."
"I didn't understand it at that time, but I seem to understand it now." Wen Renhuiyin smiled at this, "Nothing is so perfect in the world. My family is like the lights of Hong Kong Island, and your hometown is like the sky.
The stars, lights are as brilliant as lights, and stars are as beautiful as stars. Do you like lights, or stars?"
"I..." Zhou Jian was silent for a while and said slowly, "Maybe it's the lights..."
"Haha, but I like stars... The light of neon lights looks colorful, but in fact the light they emit is cold, and you can't feel any warmth when you are in it, just like my family."
"My mother passed away very early. My father betrayed the family and took my mother abroad. Actually, I don't blame him. He has the right to choose happiness. He also likes lights, but he doesn't want to give up the stars, so many people do this
I paid the price..."
Wenren Huiyin did not go into details when she said this. The fact that Wenren Huiyin's father, Wenren Shaolong, betrayed the family was a taboo in the Wenren family. For this reason, Wenren Huiyin's identity in the family has always been very subtle.
Fortunately, Wenren Boda and his wife always treated her as their own.
"Did you know?" Wen Renhuiyin turned to look at Zhou Jian and whispered: "Actually, I have been following you quietly since I was a senior in high school."
Zhou Jian's heart skipped a beat, and even his breathing became somewhat disordered at that moment. He turned his head and looked at Wen Ren Huiyin in disbelief. In the other person's bright and clear pupils, he could clearly see his own reflection.
I feel a little embarrassed, but also a little expectant.
"Because the world you live in is completely opposite to mine. You have the things I have always envied, but you don't have the things I have always been envied by others. Maybe I am curious about your world. I like to chat with you and watch you do something for yourself.
I am working hard silently to live my life, and sometimes I hear your weird views on society. Because I don’t understand the world you live in, everything you say is novel to me.”
"In my eyes, you are a big boy who is slightly cynical because of minor disappointments but never complains about others. He always likes to rely on himself, strives for progress and has a sense of justice."
"Uh..." Zhou Jian didn't expect Wen Renhuiyin to have such a view of him. The palpitations in his heart gradually subsided. It seemed that he might have made a mistake. In fact, he was just an ordinary college student.
He has no distinctive character and no sharp edges. Because his family was poor and he came into contact with society too early, he inevitably saw some of the ugliness of human nature, so his heart was a little dark, but this darkness did not erase the remaining sense of justice in his heart.
He said: "Actually, I am just a layman."
"Well, haha." Wenren Huiyin laughed like a silver bell, "Yes, I said that your world is exactly the opposite of mine. You say you are vulgar because you live in the reality of your own hard work.
Some people say I am ethereal because I live in the fantasy I have created since childhood..."
Zhou Jian chewed on Wen Ren Huiyin's words and said, "According to what you said, we shouldn't be friends..."
"No, different worlds can complement each other. I like the feeling you bring me, but I hate those dudes who own lights and always use them as a kind of capital to show off, or as gifts to others in exchange for satisfaction.
