Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1046: Encounter at Temple Street
How should I put it? Hong Kong was a place that was governed by England for many years. In addition, it experienced many wars and an influx of refugees from various countries.

The experiences of ordinary people and the rampant gangs before the establishment of the ICAC have changed the thinking of many people.
Especially since the 1970s, life in Hong Kong has changed every day. The colorful life has blinded many people, causing this situation to accelerate and spread.

In addition, in 78, England launched a "bottom-up" resource harvesting strategy against Hong Kong.

The prices of goods and housing started to soar, making everyone become more pragmatic, especially the Hong Kong people who have the lowest living standards.

(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 was already bustling with activity. The originally empty street was now occupied by sheds built with tarpaulins of various colors, as well as rows and rows of tables and chairs.

There are stalls one after another, and except for a few intersections, all the space is occupied by various vendors.

The stall at one end of the entrance where Han Li was standing sold a wide variety of items, including men's clothing, glasses, watches, toys, jade, purple clay tea sets, coins, ornaments, handicrafts, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and so on.

Of course, there are many products that are beneficial to the relationship between couples, but 95% of them are related to men, which may be the reason why Temple Street is called Men's Street.

There are quite a lot of people coming to Temple Street now. In addition to local people, there are also many Europeans, Americans, Asians, and Africans who come here for sightseeing and shopping.

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

After a while, Han Li saw those 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 so.

Because the economy of Little Red Dot has been very good in recent years, the number of Japanese devils is the largest among the foreigners on Temple Street now, but these Japanese devils are all here to make extra money for Han Li.

It's not that Han Li is not interested in the groceries at the entrance, but it would be difficult for him to store them into the decomposition space if he bought them now. If he just carried them around like that, it would affect his mood for shopping and sightseeing.

So Han Li walked through this section in a hurry. After a while, he heard a noisy sound from behind. It was those Japanese devils who had no money to pay and were surrounded by the stall owners.

Han Li didn't even have the interest to look back, because he was surrounded by all kinds of snacks and drinks.

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

Han Li had been working hard the entire afternoon and was really hungry at this point, not to mention that he was now 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 along the way, and tried almost all the snacks and drinks that caught his eye on Temple Street.

Han Li finally held a dozen strings of beef balls and fish balls in one hand and a large cup of herbal tea in the other, and ate while walking until he arrived at the Tianhou Temple.

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

The area surrounding the temple entrance is almost entirely populated by fortune tellers, physiognomists, feng shui experts, Cantonese opera singers, pop singers, martial artists and medicine sellers.

Among them, the majority of people in front of the booth singing popular songs were young people and children. Almost all the songs they sang were those that were rated as the top ten golden songs in the past two years and were well-known to the public.

Like: Xiao Li's Flying Dagger, Village Love, Whenever Things Change, Tomorrow Talks about Today, Spring Rain Scimitar, Swear to Enter the Mountain of Knives, Chu Liuxiang, Wind and Rain Together, May You Remember in Your Heart, Crocodile Tears, Like White Clouds Like Breeze, Endless Road, Tears Flow for You, Olive Tree, Indenturement, Iron Tower Towering into the Sky, Under the Lion Rock.

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

However, the song with the highest number of plays in Temple Street is "Under the Lion Rock", because this song originated from a TV series that aired in 73.

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

Han Li held a cup of cold tea and listened to the singing of flowing songs for a while. He couldn't define whether it was good or not, but he knew that the people were singing really hard, and many people sang along with them, which made him feel a little embarrassed not to pay.

After rewarding the pop songs, Han Li strolled over to the Cantonese opera, but he retreated after listening to just two sentences.

In the past two years, Han Li has often been dragged by Old Liu and others to watch Peking Opera and Hebei Bangzi Opera. Perhaps because he is not old enough, he really can't understand the opera performances, except for the martial arts performances of course.

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

Han Li couldn't tell what kind of kung fu the people at these two stalls were practicing, but they should be the kind of disciples who had not received the true teachings.

They hadn't figured out the damage to their bodies from practicing boxing, but they actually ran to the street to buy medicine. However, Han Li still tried to feel the pills for injuring and hitting, the powder for activating tendons, and the medicinal wine for strengthening tendons and bones that they were selling, in case their products were really good, it was not impossible.

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

Not far away are stalls that read faces and tell fortunes, and many of them have words asking about divination, annual fortune, choosing auspicious days for affairs, marriage compatibility, eight-character numerology, feng shui and family fortune, etc.

These stall owners, both men and women, all acted like otherworldly sages or half-immortals. Han Li thought as he looked at their attire and appearance.

"If you want to make money, you should at least dress yourself up. You are dressed like this, even worse than the Cantonese opera singers over there. Who would want to be fooled?"

Before Han Li could finish complaining in his mind, two fortune-telling stalls received customers.

One is a middle-aged woman, and she doesn’t know what to ask the master inside to calculate something.

A young couple in love came in from another stall. There is a 90% chance that it will be a marriage, and a 10% chance that it will be a boy or a girl.

Further down the street is the famous Yau Ma Tei Police Station, an 18th century Edwardian-style building with blue and white colours, and a wing-like design on the left and right sides.

Han Li was very curious about this police station that often appeared in movies and TV dramas, but without his ID card, he could only stand at the street corner and 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 police station.

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

Although it was a bit far away, Han Li still heard the general meaning of the words.

The girl hasn't graduated from high school yet, but not only does she not study hard, she also often skips classes. Today, when she was skipping school, she got into a fight with someone on the street and was taken to the police station. Now her father has come 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 to come out to work to earn money.

At this moment, Han Li listened to the quarreling sounds behind him and couldn't help but think in his heart.

I wonder what's going on with the girl behind me who just got out on bail? Why is she skipping school? Is it because of her boyfriend? Is she fighting with someone because she's jealous?
But it would be a pity if that were the case, because although Han Li did not see the girl's face clearly, her figure was very clear under the reflection of the light.

That's a great figure, not at all 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 unknown reason and ran away from her father very stubbornly.

As the saying goes, like father, like daughter. Her father also had a bad temper. After his daughter ran away, he not only did not chase her, but instead shouted at her, telling her not to come back for the rest of her life.

As Han Li was walking back, he vaguely heard the father and daughter arguing.

But none of this is his business. Not to mention that Han Li doesn't have a Hong Kong ID card, he wouldn't care even if such a thing happened, no matter how good the girl's figure is.

However, as luck would have it, when the girl ran forward, she did not turn her body completely to the side and bumped into Han Li's arm holding the herbal tea, causing the herbal tea to fall to the ground.

That girl really had no manners. She didn't stop, just turned around to take a look, and wanted to leave without even saying sorry.

Han Li didn't care about the cup of herbal tea at all. He had already drunk most of it and didn't spill the rest on himself.

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

But when Han Li saw the girl's face, he immediately changed his mind, rushed out, grabbed her arm and questioned her.

"Hey, pretty and big, is that a reason you can just run away if you bump into someone?"

PS: The first easter egg of Xiangjiang has appeared, you guys can guess it.

I would like to ask all the big guys for Han Li’s name in Hong Kong, thank you!!!
