The best way to cook live shrimps is to blanch them, which is worthy of their ultimate deliciousness.
Although blanched shrimps look simple, the simpler they are, the more exquisite they are.
Many people think that Cantonese-style boiled shrimp is simply boiled in water, and that the dish is done by just throwing the shrimp into hot water and scooping it out.
But in fact, people who really know how to eat are not so simple and rough.
Boil water first, then put the fresh shrimps in the steamer and cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Add onions and ginger while steaming.
The boiled shrimps made in this way have firm and chewy meat, and are extremely sweet and delicious when eaten.
Add a dish of chili rings and soy sauce as dipping sauce, and it is simply one of the most quintessential masterpieces of Cantonese cuisine.
"Besides, wouldn't it be better for girls to study hard, find a leisurely and stable job, and marry an honest and decent man in two years?"
In Sun Shaofen's opinion, girls should not work too hard and it would be better if they have a stable job.
Sun Shaofen is very satisfied with a banking job like Ma Dandan's.
She doesn't expect her daughter to be as good at studying as Yu Wenyin.
But if she could get into Lingnan University in Hong Kong, then I could ask Dandan's relative to send my daughter to a bank, which would be perfect.
Working in a bank is not as prestigious as working in Central, but it is more stable.
If my daughter doesn't work in a bank, it's also okay for her to be a teacher or a civil servant. It would be nice for a girl to have a leisurely and stable life.
It doesn’t matter if she works hard, as long as her daughter can get into college, she is willing to work any hardship!
As for getting married, she doesn't ask her daughter to marry a rich man, but just a man with a good personality and temper, and never go back to her old path.
Although I don’t earn much now, five thousand yuan is enough for the daily expenses of my daughter and I.
If she can't afford to send her daughter to school, she will borrow money.
In the past, relatives in Hong Kong stopped associating with Zhao Wenqiang because of his gambling. Now that Zhao Wenqiang is dead, those relatives can finally visit each other again.
Zhao Zitong really didn't expect her mother to think she was abnormal. She thought about it and decided to confront her mother:
"Mom, I said I would take the college entrance exam, and I will definitely take it."
"But it won't start until March next year, I will study hard during this time, don't worry."
"Besides, I'm already 22 years old. Although I won't be 22 until October, the kids at St. Ann's are all 17 or 18 years old."
"If you ask me to go back to St. Ann's School to study with them, I will be laughed at. You don't want to see your daughter being laughed at, right?"
"If you want to work at Aunt Huiqi's tea restaurant, I'll let you do whatever you want, but I'm not expecting you to use your salary to support my schooling."
"I'm not kidding when I say fresh food supermarket, I..."
She still didn't say, "I've even rented a shop."
I took too big a step and was too brave. I was afraid of scaring my mother.
"What do you mean?"
"Have you any money?"
“Do you have any staff?”
“Can you find a store?”
"Do you know where to get the supplies?"
Sun Shaofen's series of questions left Zhao Zitong dumbfounded.
My mother is such a hidden talent!
These questions really hit the point!
The eldest daughter of the Sun family is indeed worthy of her reputation. She was previously overshadowed by the scumbag Zhao Wenqiang!
So, how important it is for a woman to marry the right person!
Without the right person, I would rather be single all my life!
The first four questions are easy to solve, but the last one hits the point.
The question of where to purchase goods.
Land resources in Hong Kong are scarce, and there are not many places where crops can be grown on a large scale.
Fresh water resources are also scarce, and it is not yet time for Hong Kong's return to China in 1997.
Zhao Zitong knows what happened after Hong Kong's return to China, that is, the mainland supplies Hong Kong.
When talking about the supply of water from the mainland to Hong Kong, we cannot fail to mention the issue of fresh water.
Hong Kong is a coastal island city without any major river system.
Drinking water mainly depends on the weather, and the shortage of fresh water resources is a long-standing problem.
In fact, this is also closely related to Hong Kong's real estate.
Due to the serious scarcity of fresh water resources, some unscrupulous developers even use seawater to build houses.
Using seawater to build a house is like using seawater to prepare cement (concrete).
These houses are vividly called "saltwater buildings" or "seawater buildings" by the local Hong Kong people.
Because seawater contains a large amount of chloride ions, it will corrode the steel bars in the concrete.
The steel bars expand after oxidation corrosion, causing the entire piece of concrete to fall off.
Over time, the salt and alkali components in the concrete will produce alkali on the surface.
The surface decoration materials will fall off and cause a disaster.
Although Hong Kong had not yet returned to China at that time, its fresh water supply mainly relied on the Dongjiang River in Guangdong.
Of course it's not free water.
Although Hong Kong has been clearly returned in 1997, the government still belongs to the British Hong Kong government.
Zhao Zitong knows about the water supply in the mainland.
Zhao Zitong is not sure whether the mainland will provide vegetables or not...
But no one knows this better than ParknShop manager Qian Zhaoming.
"Mom, go back by yourself. Be careful on the road. Next time you go shopping, remember to bring a cart. It's too tiring to carry everything like this. Don't save money. Take the minibus back."
Zhao Zitong didn't have time to explain her thoughts to her mother, and hurried to find Manager Qian.
It is really inconvenient to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables now.
I can't come every day, so I can only buy food that will last for a few days. It's heavy to carry in my hands, and it won't be fresh after two days, especially the vegetables.
The house they rented was okay as it had a refrigerator, but in fact many families in Hong Kong still cannot afford a refrigerator.
Even if the food is stored in the refrigerator, it will not be as delicious as freshly cooked food if you take it out after two days.
"Where have you been going again? It's rare that your mother is resting today, and you didn't stay at home to accompany me. By the way, have you bought your textbooks? I haven't seen you turn a page in the past two days..."
Before Sun Shaofen could finish her mumbling, her daughter ran away like a rabbit caught by a hunter...
This was her third visit. And this time Zhao Zitong had something to ask for, so she brought a more expensive gift.
Two cans of the finest Duck Shit Fragrance tea leaves, two packs of hard-packed Zhonghua cigarettes, and a 700ml bottle of the finest French Hennessy XO Cognac.
Just these few things cost Zhao Zitong several thousand Hong Kong dollars.
Duck Shit Fragrance is similar to the cat poop coffee in the coffee world. Although the name is strange and eye-catching, it is the favorite tea of Chaoshan people.
When I heard the name "Duck Shit Fragrance", I thought it was a kind of stinky tea.
In fact, this "duck shit" is not that "duck shit".
Although the name "Duck Shit Xiang" is not elegant, as a famous variety of Phoenix Dancong, it can be said that "the most vulgar is the most elegant."
