My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 18 A Grain of Ash of the Times
On March 2018, 3, well-known countries officially announced tax increases for well-known countries.

On the surface, everything in the country is as usual, except for the taxi drivers who analyze the trend, consequences and impact of today's hot headlines at a high level of amateur nine-duan as usual, most citizens are doing what they should do, and they are not affected at all.

Talk about housing prices, chat about games, and drink coffee in Shichahai.

However, the economy is a distorting mirror of politics, and the panic spread to the stock market first with almost no delay.

On March 3, global stock markets generally fell at the opening.

As of the close, the Dow Jones Index fell by nearly 3%, the Shanghai Composite Index fell by 3.27%, the Hang Seng Index fell by 2.81%, the Nikkei Index fell by more than 3%, and the Korean stock market fell by more than 2%...

"What happened? Why is my eyes suddenly green?"

"Sudden green-origin color blindness. There is no cure for this disease except short positions. The possible sequelae include crying, beating your chest and feet, vomiting three liters of blood, fainting on the spot, and in severe cases, it may even lead to sudden death by jumping off a building."

"Where is the scout? Hurry up!"

"Hehe! Even the gods can't save you, I said so!"

"I got up early in the morning to eat worms, and I was caught off guard! I quickly looked at my stock holdings, and it was okay, it was full, woo woo woo~"

"Calm down, calm down, this is just eye drops that are used daily among big countries, and they will definitely be lifted high and put down gently in the end, everyone, hurry up and buy the bottom!"

"Trying to trick me into picking up the offer again..."

"I had a premonition in January, and sure enough, I guessed it again! Everyone, please pay attention to my next issue of God's Prophecy!"

"It's over, it's over, the two countries cooperate to mow the grass, and they are locked up, please let me go!"

"It is agreed that this year's stock market will be the welfare of capitalism?"

"Don't you know that the main purpose of the stock market is not to distribute benefits, but to adjust the population..."

"Cherish life, stay away from the stock market, amen~"

"..."

The stock market exploded, and jokers began to add fuel to the flames.

However, they have the leisure to tell jokes entirely because the follow-up development between the two countries is still unclear.

According to the usual routine of big hooligans fighting each other in the past, it is not uncommon for the front feet to swear at the street and the back feet to hook shoulders and backs.

It's nothing more than asking for a lot of money and paying back the money when it lands.

More wolves came, and no one believed it.

However, many well-informed and keen-sighted business tycoons have already smelled the smoke of gunpowder, and have begun intensive preparations to reduce losses...or make a fortune!
……

"Condemnation of anti-globalization..."

He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief... This is a big deal!

I knew there would be a stock market crash, but I didn't expect that it would be the world-wide turmoil caused by the pinch between the two great powers!

Although those brick-and-mortar beasts have jumped out one by one, vowing to guarantee that the possibility of further escalation of the conflict is extremely low, and they are optimistic about the future economic situation.

But Meng Lang analyzed from his own income curve... This one, I'm afraid it will get bigger and bigger...

He was a little worried, but also felt that it was a bit funny for an insurance salesman to care about the competition of big countries on the world stage.

"A grain of ashes from the times, falling on a person's head, is like a mountain..."

As if he had seen a hill made of soft sister coins beckoning to him, Meng Lang was so happy that he ate an extra tea egg for breakfast.

After breakfast, Meng Lang walked briskly and went to the supermarket humming the tune of "I'm rich today".

Induction cooker, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar...

Millet, red beans, flour, eight-treasure porridge, preserved eggs, lean meat, eggs, noodles in clear soup, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes...

According to the "shopping list for health care plan" that he had been busy all night yesterday, Meng Lang pushed a shopping cart and started a big sweep.

In the end, I bought two catties of prawns and a grouper extravagantly.

joke!The trade war has started, and the economic situation is so severe, how can I still save two vegetables by using deduction?
"Hello, a total of 3650, do you have a membership card?"

"No."

"Member [-]% off, may I ask for a membership card?"

"manage!"

……

"Whoosh~"

Meng Lang returned to the rental house, panting and put down several huge shopping bags in his hand.

"Huh~ It seems that I really need to exercise..."

Meng Lang sat on the sofa to catch his breath, then took out his phone and opened Xiaohongshu, and started "cooking by himself" for the first time in his life besides the small hot pot in college...

"Chop lean meat, preserved eggs and green onions into fine pieces, and mix the lean meat with a small amount of starch.

Wash the rice, put it in a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, boil on high heat, simmer on low heat for 40 minutes to cook porridge.

Add lean meat, add preserved eggs, and stir well.

Add an appropriate amount of salt and some chopped green onions, drizzle with sesame oil and take out the pan..."

While watching the teaching video, he was in a hurry to chop vegetables, wash rice and put them in the pot.

After half an hour...

Looking at the pot of indescribable black paste in front of him, Meng Lang fell into deep thinking about life...

This is the minimalist recipe for "entry-level" and "you can do it with your hands"?
a small amount?Appropriate amount?How many?
Who knows how much that is?Can a quantified noun be somewhat accurate to the decimal point?
There must be something wrong with the video I clicked on!

Immediately, another half an hour later...

Seeing the same mysterious paste with an unspeakable smell, Meng Lang finally began to doubt himself.

However, he did not give up. He felt that the dish he had chosen was wrong, so he decided to change to a simpler dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Another half hour...

Meng Lang lay quietly on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Some people are destined not to enter the kitchen. With the same process and the same ingredients, he can make delicious ingredients into dark dishes.

No matter how colorful you give him, what he fry will always be a matte jet black...

The first link of the health care plan encountered unprecedented severe challenges!

……

"Crack!" Nibbling on the cucumber in his hand, Meng Lang had no choice but to temporarily give up his extravagant hope of "self-reliance".

In case of food poisoning and get the lunch in advance, I'm afraid I won't even have time to write today's "autobiography"?

He took out "To Live", and it was time to update it every day.

"Uh……"

As soon as he opened the book, half of the cucumber in Meng Lang's hand fell to the ground.

Because he was stunned to find that... the book he opened was blank!
