But later Lin Huowang told her that this is how it is in Hong Kong Island. These high-end ingredients have to be consumed by someone. If you don’t consume them, someone else will. Money is just a number to them nowadays. Since you have the conditions, why not live a better life?
Qian Shuzhen looked at the small piece of golden fried goose liver and carefully cut a small piece and put it into her mouth.
The delicate and rich taste that melts in the mouth and the rich aroma of wine instantly exploded in her mouth. It was a delicacy she had never experienced before.
She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "This... is so delicious! How much does it cost?"
Liu Rumeng smiled and didn't directly answer the price. Instead, she pointed to a bottle of red wine that a servant was carefully opening nearby and said, "It goes even better with this. This is Romanee-Conti, a treasure from the Avon cellar. A bottle... probably a few thousand dollars."
"puff--"
Qian Shuzhen nearly spit out the water she had just taken. She quickly covered her mouth and coughed, her eyes widening. "Ahem...how much...how much? A few thousand dollars? Just a bottle of wine?"
When she was in Northeast China, her monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan!
Thousands of dollars? That's absolutely an astronomical figure!
She watched the crimson liquid pour into the expensive crystal goblet, feeling that every drop weighed a thousand pounds.
Before coming to Hong Kong Island, Qian Shuzhen couldn't even imagine that she could spend so much money just on a meal and a sip of wine.
Capitalism is indeed a culture of luxury and enjoyment!
Qian Shuzhen felt that the sip of red wine she had just drunk was filled with sinful blood!
"Yes! This one is one of the better ones. But he doesn't care much about these things, so they are all taken care of by his servants. Come, cheers, welcome Sister Shuzhen to visit us."
As she spoke, Liu Rumeng raised her glass gracefully.
Liu Rumeng naturally understood Qian Shuzhen's current feelings. Wasn't it the same when she first came?
However, after more than half a year of influence, she has already become accustomed to the lifestyle in Hong Kong Island.
Liu Rumeng couldn't help but question herself in her heart, is it true that she has been greatly influenced by the atmosphere of Hong Kong Island?
Qian Shuzhen raised her glass of "liquid gold" a little tremblingly, feeling that what she drank was not wine, but hot gold.
She spent the entire meal feeling overwhelmed by the sheer luxury.
Truffle-baked lobster, caviar and crepes, Kobe beef... Each dish Liu Rumeng casually introduced pushed Qian Shuzhen's concept of "luxury" to the limit. How could this be considered eating? It was simply eating money!
After dinner, the two of them moved to the sofa in the living room to rest. Liu Rumeng picked up the remote control, turned on the huge color TV, and tuned to the Asia Television channel.
"Let's watch TV for a while. At this time, "Pokémon" should be playing." Liu Rumeng said.
Sure enough, familiar characters like Pikachu and Ash appeared on the screen. Qian Shuzhen watched with a strange sense of pride: "How is this animation... doing in Hong Kong?"
"Excellent," Liu Rumeng said with a hint of pride. "The ratings are consistently above 70%, ranking first in Hong Kong in its time slot. The kids are going crazy for it, and all the toys are selling out."
I have to say that the animation "Pokémon" is magical, especially that each episode is almost a separate story. Even if you have never seen it before, you can easily watch it from any point.
Nowadays, primary, secondary and university students in Hong Kong Island basically get together every day to discuss the Pokémon in "Pokémon", which Pokémon is the most powerful, which Pokémon is the cutest, etc.
Qian Shuzhen nodded as she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, I watched them paint page after page at Spring City Film Studio back then. I never thought I'd see it on TV in Hong Kong Island now, and it's so popular."
Although she had seen this animation at Spring City Film Studios a long time ago, she felt an especially strong sense of participation and national pride at this moment, watching this animation, which was planned by Lin Huowang and produced in mainland China, become popular in Hong Kong Island in the most luxurious villa in Hong Kong Island.
So what if Hong Kong is a capitalist society? Aren't the cartoons that children love today produced by the art masters of our socialist film studios?
After "Pokémon" is finished, the next variety show to be broadcast is "Supermarket Wars".
Under bright lights, modern supermarket shelves are filled with a wide variety of beautifully packaged imported goods.
In the show, contestants participate in various fun competitions in the supermarket, looking for specific products, calculating prices, shopping within a limited time... The scene is very lively.
At the beginning, "Supermarket War" was just a limited-time free shopping event, but later, at the suggestion of Lin Huowang, some hidden levels were added, the rewards were richer, and the content was more competitive. The program was full of fun and suitable for all ages. It can be said that it has completely captured the hearts of all Hong Kong citizens.
Qian Shuzhen was naturally immediately captivated. She stared intently, her face full of curiosity and excitement. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God! This supermarket... is so big and bright! There are so many things! It's completely different from the department stores we have over there! Look at all the packaging, so beautiful! And the games in this show are so interesting!"
Seeing her engrossed in the show, Liu Rumeng smiled and suggested, "Sister Shuzhen, are you so interested? How about I sign you up tomorrow so you can join in the fun?"
"Ah? Me? No, no! I'm a government-sponsored worker in Hong Kong Island. I represent the image of the country! How can I appear on this kind of... this kind of entertainment program? That would be a huge mistake!"
