Chapter 1046 Encounter at Temple Street

How to say it? Hong Kong is a place that has been governed by England for so many years. In addition, it has experienced many wars and refugees from various countries have poured in.

In addition, the experiences of ordinary people before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the rampant social groups have changed the thinking of many people.

Especially since the 1970s, life in Hong Kong has changed every day. The colorful life has made many people lose their eyes, and this situation has been accelerating and spreading.

In addition, England set a wave of "bottom-up" resource harvesting strategies for Hong Kong in 1978.

Let the prices of goods and housing prices start to soar, making everyone more and more pragmatic, especially those Hong Kong people whose living standards are at the bottom.

(As for the more outrageous examples, we will skip them here for now, because two well-known stars will appear in this way later.)

At 5:30 in the evening, Temple Street has begun to become lively. The originally open and empty streets are now occupied by sheds built with rainproof cloths of various colors, as well as rows and rows of tables and chairs.

The stalls are connected to each other, and except for a few crossroads, all the space is occupied by various vendors.

The stall at one end of the entrance where Han Li is located sells a variety of items, including various men's clothing, glasses, watches, toys, jade, purple clay tea sets, coins, ornaments, handicrafts, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc.

Of course, there are many items that are beneficial to the relationship between husband and wife, but 95% of them are related to men, which may be the origin of Temple Street being called Men's Street.

Now there are already many people coming to Temple Street. In addition to local people, there are many Europeans, Americans, South Asians, and Africans who come here for sightseeing and shopping.

Han Li found that the bosses here were all talented. When they saw the European and American tourists with backpacks, they would greet them in English, and when they saw the Indians with red dots on their foreheads, they would approach them in Hindi to chat.

After a while, Han Li saw the bosses using several foreign languages. Although they were all simple sales terms and bargaining words, it was already very good to be able to do this.

Because the economy of Little Red Dot has been very good in recent years, the number of foreigners on Temple Street is also the largest, but these little Japanese are here to give Han Li extra money.

Han Li is not uninterested in these groceries at the entrance, but it is not easy for him to put them into the decomposition space if he buys them now. If he just carries them around like this, it will affect his mood of shopping and enjoying the scenery.

So Han Li walked through this section in a hurry. After a while, there was a noisy sound from behind. These little Japanese had no money to pay and were surrounded by stall owners.

Han Li was not even interested in looking back, because he was surrounded by all kinds of snacks and drinks at this moment.

This area is basically full of food stalls, such as roast duck breast, fried crab, chicken cartilage, prawns, oyster omelette, curry fish balls, clay pot rice, various porridge, noodles, rice, herbal tea, desserts, milk tea, iced beer, drinks, and all kinds of delicious snacks and drinks are available here.

Han Li worked hard all afternoon, and he was really hungry at this time, not to mention that he was surrounded by these snacks and drinks.

The food and drinks on Temple Street are not expensive, but they taste good.

So after Han Li stepped into this section, he ate and drank all the way, and tasted almost all the snacks and drinks that he liked on Temple Street.

Han Li finally came to the Tianhou Temple while eating and walking with a dozen skewers of beef balls and fish balls in one hand and a large cup of herbal tea in the other.

However, this Tianhou Temple seemed to be a dividing line, blocking the bustle of the food stalls that Han Li passed by, and replaced it with another scene.

Around the temple entrance, there are almost fortune tellers, face readers, feng shui checkers, Cantonese opera singers, pop songs, martial arts practitioners and medicine sellers.

Among them, the pop song stalls are mostly pop songs with young people and children in front. They sing almost all the songs that were rated as the top ten golden songs in the past two years and are well known to the public.

Such as: Xiao Li Feidao, Village Love, Whenever Changes, Tomorrow Talks Today, Spring Rain Scimitar, Swear to Enter the Knife Mountain, Chu Liuxiang, Wind and Rain Together, May Your Heart Remember, Crocodile Tears, Like White Clouds Like Breeze, Endless Road, Tears Flow for You, Olive Tree, Selling Body Contract, Tower Towering, Under the Lion Rock.

These songs are currently widely circulated in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, just like the period when pop songs entered the country later.

However, the most played song here in Temple Street is "Under the Lion Rock", because this song comes from a TV series that premiered in 1973.

The plot tells the story of the unyielding struggle of Hong Kong citizens, and this TV series is still popular as of the time period Han Li is in.

Han Li held the cold tea and listened to the stalls singing the flowing songs for a while. He couldn't define whether it was good or not, but they sang really hard, and many people sang along, which made him feel embarrassed not to give money.

After giving tips to the saliva songs, Han Li strolled to the Cantonese opera, but he retreated after just listening to two sentences.

In the past two years, Han Li has been dragged by Liu Lao and others to watch Peking Opera and Hebei Bangzi. Maybe he is not old enough, and he really can't see the opera performance in his mind, except for martial arts.

As for the two stalls practicing martial arts and selling medicine, Han Li stood there for two minutes and left.

Han Li couldn't tell which Kung Fu the people at the two stalls practiced, but they should be the kind of disciples who had not received the true teachings.

Before they could understand the physical damage caused by their own boxing practice, they went to the street to buy medicine.

However, Han Li still tried to get a feel for the Dieda Pills, Huojin Powder, and muscle-strengthening medicinal wine they sold, just in case their products were really good.

As a result, Han Li found that they were all ordinary blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing formulas, and some of them were not even as good as the snake wine in the "Snake King" shop during the day, let alone the formula in Han Li's hand.

Not far away are stalls selling fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and many stalls have information on fortune telling, fortune telling, choosing a day to do things, marriage, horoscopes, Feng Shui family luck, etc.

Regardless of whether these stall owners were male or female, each one of them acted like an outsider or a semi-immortal. Han Li thought to himself as he looked at their outfits and styles.

"If you want to make money, you should dress up in a decent way. Such a rough and shabby dress is not as good as the Cantonese opera singers over there. Who would go there and be deceived?"

As a result, Han Li hadn't finished complaining in his mind when two fortune-telling stalls showed up with customers.

One was a middle-aged woman who didn’t know what to ask the master inside to calculate.

A pair of young men and women who entered another stall were in love. There was a 90% chance that they were in love, and a 10% chance that they were a boy or a girl.

Just down the street is the famous Yau Ma Tei Police Station. It is an 18th-century Edwardian-style building, decorated in blue and white, with wings extending on the left and right sides.

Han Li was very curious about this police station, which often appeared in movies and TV series, but without an ID card, he could only stand at the street corner and take a look at it from a distance.

When Han Li was about to go back to Temple Street to continue eating and drinking, two people walked out of the mission hall.

Judging from their age, they should be father and daughter. As the two walked, the older man scolded the girl.

Although he was a little far away, Han Li could still hear the general meaning of his words.

That girl hasn't graduated from middle school yet, but not only does she not study hard, she often skips classes. Today when she skipped school, she got into a fight on the street and was taken to the police station by the police. Now her father came to bail her out.

Han Li just smiled faintly when he heard this, because there was such a person among the people he helped in the afternoon, but that woman was fooled by her boyfriend into working to make money.

At this moment, Han Li couldn't help but think about it as he listened to the quarrel behind him.

Then I wonder what is happening to the girl behind me who was just released on bail? Why is she skipping school? Is it also because of her boyfriend? Do you fight with others because you are jealous?

But it would be a pity if that was the case, because although Han Li couldn't see the face of the girl just now, his figure could be clearly seen under the reflection of the light.

That figure is awesome, nothing like what she should have at her age.

At this time, the girl who had just been released on bail had a quarrel with her father for some reason, and ran away from her father very stubbornly.

Otherwise, like father, like daughter, her father also had a bad temper. After his daughter ran away, not only did he not chase her, but he shouted from behind that if you had the ability, you would never come back.

As Han Li was walking back, he vaguely heard that the father and daughter had a quarrel.

But these are none of his business, not to mention that Han Li doesn't have Xiangjiang's ID card. Even if there is such a thing, he won't care about it, no matter how good the girl's figure is.

However, by chance, when the girl ran forward, because she did not turn her body completely to the side, she bumped into Han Li's arm holding herbal tea, causing herbal tea to be knocked to the ground.

That girl really didn't have much tutoring. She didn't stop, she just turned around and glanced, and wanted to leave without even saying sorry.

Han Li didn't care at all about a cup of herbal tea. Moreover, he had already drank more than half of the herbal tea and did not sprinkle the rest on himself.

What's more, he just heard the quarrel between the father and daughter, and the first thought in his heart was to forget it.

But when Han Li saw the girl's face, he immediately changed his original idea and rushed out, quickly grabbing her arm and questioning her.

"Hey, you're handsome and big. Is that why you can just run away if you bump into someone?"

PS: The first easter egg in Xiangjiang appears, everyone can take a guess.

I’m asking all the bosses for Han Li’s name in Xiangjiang, thank you! ! !
