The two systems have excellent results in their respective fields, but also have their own advantages and disadvantages.

This has also led to the fact that the friends of the two camps have never stopped discussing “ Which system is better . ”

Especially when the two major systems take turns to upgrade the major versions every year, there is a wave of passion online.

Even, recently, even Apple CEO Cook came out to start a group in person: “ The number of malware on Android is 47 times that of iOS.”

Shrimp also got pig’s heart, he explained it like this:” Because we have only one app store for iOS, all apps will be strictly reviewed before they are released. “.

I know the truth, but Cook suddenly came and started a group, which is really not very good8.

After all, the routes taken by the two mobile phone systems are completely different. Cook’s remarks are completely using the advantages of his own iOS to poke the shortcomings of Android.

Xiaolei has always been fair and just, and the App ecology of the two major systems is better or worse. I believe everyone will have a good idea after reading this article. There are more Android rogue apps than iOS?The reason is complicated It is true that Android has more rogue and malicious applications than iOS. But this is only a fact that can be seen on the surface, and the reason is quite complicated and it is worthy of our in-depth understanding. Needless to say, the popularity of iOS in the mobile phone circle is self-evident. Even if it is a minor update, it can still be posted on Weibo’s hot search. Netizens are discussing new gameplay skills for a while. Android is a bit miserable. Google officially released Android 12 at the I/O 2021 conference some time ago. A major version update, as a result, there are very few friends who follow, and only a few geeks are willing to pick up the Pixel upgrade experience in their hands. This also leads to a small problem. Many small partners think that iOS has already won a big victory, and Android is doing its best. But in fact, Android’s global market share is as high as 72.72%, while iOS only has 26.46%. That is to say, 7 out of every ten smart phones are Android devices. Pay more attention to what phones your friends use to know the general situation. Some small partners may be confused. Who has more rogue applications and what does it have to do with market share? Don’t worry, everyone continues to listen to Xiao Lei. The high market share of Android does not mean that it is better than iOS, just because it is mature enough and has open source and flexible features, manufacturers and developers are willing to fiddle with Android. With the market share already taking the lead, the influx of developers will only increase, and accordingly, the number of Android applications will continue to increase. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, developers will give priority to developing Android apps. Xiaolei believes that this should be related to the increasing market share of domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Let’s take a look at the detailed data. The following is the statistics of the number of applications in each application store by the well-known data agency statista. As of the first quarter of 2021, Google’s Google Play store has 3.48 million apps for users to download and use. The App Store, an old rival, has 2.22 million apps. Although App will fluctuate with the official review, Google Play has significantly more Android apps than App Store. This is just the number of apps in an app market on Google Play. Due to the open source of Android, in addition to the official Google Play, there are many third-party application distribution channels on the market, and the fragmentation is very serious. For example, there are about 460,000 Android apps in the Amazon App Store. The domestic situation is even more complicated. Different brands of mobile phones have their own application stores, which is dazzling. Even the digital community + application market Kuan has many excellent niche apps. Not counting the APKs developed by small developers and privately distributed to some users. Guo Guo is quite special here. After all, it is a closed ecology. Developers can only submit apps to the App Store for review. The number of apps in the App Store is about this number, and there won’t be too many differences. So, one of the reasons why Android rogue apps are better than iOS is that the app base is larger. According to Cook’s logic, there are dozens of times more rogue malicious apps on iOS than Windows Phone. After all, there are not a few apps that can be used in this system. Of course, this is not the root cause. The key lies in the old problem of serious fragmentation of the Android application ecosystem. App Store’s application review is very strict, and Apple has formulated very detailed application rules for this purpose, but any failure to meet the requirements will not be linked to the shelves. For example, when it comes to apps such as pornography, piracy, cracking, and emulators, the idea of ​​putting them on the App Store can basically be dispelled. It’s just strict. Apple allows developers to perform hot updates and open enterprise certificates, which have made App Store vulnerabilities to be found. Everyone, remember that last year, a porn app in the App Store was successfully put on the shelves by disguising as a normal app, and it became pornographic through a hot update? A trick to change the day by stealth, directly dangling Apple for manual review, wonderful. But in any case, the security and privacy that Apple relies on the closed application ecosystem management ecosystem to bring to users is also obvious. So, is the app review on the Android side very hip? But in fact, it’s not. Take the world’s largest application store Google Play as an example, its application review is also strict and meticulous. Everything exists Abuse of authority, contain illegal content, crack piracy and infringement, collect user privacy, malicious software, false statements, excessive advertising Apps with other behaviors are not allowed to be put on the shelves. Therefore, some old drivers will find that some domestic apps are obviously full of advertisements. But after it was put on the Google Play store, it became a good person and a refreshed conscience. He didn’t even dare to get too many permissions. Old Yin and Yang. This is one of the reasons why many Android users prefer to use the Google version of the app. Who doesn’t like a clean and simple app? Unfortunately, most domestic Android users cannot enjoy the clean and refreshing Google Play application. At last In fact, Xiao Lei said so much, just to tell everyone that there is no absolute difference between Android and iOS. To say that iOS has less malware than Android is undoubtedly a one-sided statement. The open source Android has attracted more manufacturers to join, with more flexible gameplay and free application installation methods, but at the same time it must bear the problem of application ecological fragmentation. As for iOS, the advantage is naturally closed and safe, and users sacrifice the right to freely install various third-party apps. A friend of Xiaolei who holds an iPhone often envied me for having all kinds of black technology software, and played Xposed so thoroughly. Manufacturers are now stepping up application review. As long as everyone downloads an application from a regular application store, the probability of encountering malware is less than that of winning the lottery… More than any other malware, the meaning is really not big

The meals are taken care of by the teachers so that the 12th grade students can rest assured to study for the exam. Starting from 9-6, every day, the canteen of Trung An High School is bustling from dawn. The teachers went to the market to buy food and then went back to prepare and cook. At about 10 o’clock, the dishes were finished, they made a portion of rice so that the children could have rice to eat after school. On the day we arrived, the teachers were preparing 200 meals with 30 vegetarian meals according to the students’ needs, the rest was salty food. The teachers are “non-specialist chefs”, but the meal is very attractive: braised shrimp, melon soup cooked with meat, stir-fried vegetables; and vegetarian dishes are fried mushrooms, vegetarian rolls… and dessert is watermelon. The children who ate the rice were all touched and praised. The image that touched many people was that the teachers were all working in the kitchen. The girls stand in the kitchen to fry, the teachers prepare vegetables, make shrimp, cut meat… the atmosphere is bustling and full of fun. Helping teachers with 12th graders who do not have classes, some parents of students near the school also support and especially students who have just finished 10th and 11th grade assigned to groups. to the canteen to help teachers. Trinh Minh Thanh, who is about to enter grade 12, shared: “I came to help my teachers cook for my brothers and sisters. We want to empower you to confidently enter the exam. Besides, next year I will be in 12th grade, and then I will be supported by the students in the lower grades like that.” Mr. Le Van Dung, Principal of Trung An High School, said: The model of cooking lunch for grade 12 students during the preparation time for the high school graduation exam has been implemented by the school for the past 3 years. This year, the scale of cooking is more with 200 meals per day or more. Because this is the time of “sprint”, the school creates conditions for the children to have lunch, take advantage of the rest to review in the afternoon. Besides, the organization of eating at school also ensures food hygiene and safety, and fosters the spirit of the students to strive for learning. Mr. Dung added that, in order to implement cooking for students, right from the beginning of the second semester of the school year, the school planned and informed the students’ parents, receiving enthusiastic response. The cost of cooking is from the socialization of students’ parents, school teachers and benefactors. Ms. Nguyen Thi Chinh, a clerical worker at Trung An High School, who goes to the market to cook every day, said: Right from noon the previous day, the teachers discussed with each other what the menu for the next day was. After the menu is available, the teacher will notify the class president so that the students can notify their friends and register for a meal, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian. From 6 am the next morning, Ms. Chinh went to the market with a carefully calculated amount of food. Just like that, the meals for students are more and more professional and delicious. Chinh smiled gently: “I’m happy to see the children eat well and satisfy their appetite”. As for Mr. Vo Cong Minh, Secretary of the Union of Trung An High School, always present early every day to finish the meal for the newly returned students, sharing: “Teachers want to contribute a little effort so that the children can have more motivation. Successful completion of the upcoming exam”. For the 12th graders, when talking about school lunches, each student has an emotion, but they all express their gratitude to their teachers for their concern. The children confided that, seeing the teachers who are busy with chalk on the podium every day in the kitchen cooking each dish, it was really touching. There are many children from far away, who register to eat at school in time to rest in the afternoon to continue studying; I have a brother, my parents work all day, so I choose to stay at school to eat lunch with my friends. But there are also children who choose to have lunch at school for a very lovely reason. Truong Thi Bao Tran, grade 12, shared: “I choose to eat at school to chat with friends and teachers. It won’t be long before we have to leave school and teachers.” There are meals that are seasoned with love, cooked with the love of teachers. Therefore, the children borrowed the name of a reality TV show that “varied” when talking about meals at Trung An High School: “Prepare the rice the teachers cooked!”.

Bitter tomato soup often has a lot of hot and “bitter” chili peppers to enjoy, not … complain. More sophisticated, pork skin cut about two knuckles cooked in a pot of bitter tomato soup, increasing the fat, chewy and delicious taste significantly. Dried fish is a popular reserve food of the mountainous people and it is unknown when the Ede people can choose the head of a dried herring cooked with bitter eggplant – it is deliciously compatible. Perhaps the aromatic herring oil, which is often canned, is “different”, using canned fish to cook bitter tomato soup instead of crushed herring heads – still not inferior to each other. Ede people often use this dish with rice. Because they have a habit of eating quickly, they often cook this dish a bit thick to eat with rice. They often squeeze into handfuls with eggplant and eat, the bitter and spicy taste makes the dish more delicious, bitter eggplant is also a valuable medicine to help increase resistance. According to the Ede, bitter eggplant is not eaten raw like eggplant, but only cooked. Can buy a lot to cut pieces to dry, hang the kitchen truss gradually; Before cooking, soak in water for about 5-10 minutes, the eggplant is soft and the bitter taste is not lost. Bitter eggplant grows wild on upland fields and is planted in many gardens, almost every house of the Ede has bitter eggplant. The tree has thorns, has fruit all year round, has few and many thorns; The more thorns, the more bitter, bitter like bitter melon.

Tran Nhung shared, cooking is both her passion. Although working during office hours is very busy, she still tries to find time to cook in the evening. “ For many singles, after work, there are many ways to relieve stress, such as going to coffee with friends, going for a walk or simply wandering the streets, I choose to go to the kitchen to cook for myself meals. Simple, palatable. I think this is also a way to love yourself and relax more.” Nhung shared. She shared, her parents are very meticulous and careful in eating. For example, when cooking, a dish’s seasoning must be bought, but cannot be left without. When she was a child, her parents opened a popular rice restaurant in the district hospital, perhaps that’s why Nhung was exposed to dishes from a very early age. The first dish she was taught by her father was fried beans. It is the manipulations to create a simple but delicious dish that makes 9X fascinated, and love the kitchen all the time. Very eye-catching dishes. Currently living alone, Nhung mainly cooks alone. 9X confided, I don’t cook too picky and I like traditional dishes. “For example, in winter, there are braised fish and braised meat. In the summer, I often cook shrimp and crab soups with salted eggplant and salted figs. Nhung said. Due to administrative work and a fixed salary, Nhung has to pay for the week, the average meal a day is about 150,000. On weekends, she often prepares tomato and salted fish dishes in advance, then keeps them in the fridge for a week. If there is meat from her parents’ hometown, 9X will divide it into meals and freeze it, otherwise she will go to the morning market to choose fresh food to cook for the day. Tran Nhung said that every time she goes to the kitchen, she will pay attention to the way she chooses food and tips so that the dish does not lose nutrients and still retains its inherent freshness. That’s why 9X often goes to the market early in the morning, choosing familiar goods to buy. “My mother also taught me some cooking tips, such as how to fry onions, keep the color beautiful and crispy for a long time, when the oil is not boiling, add a little lemon. Or the trick to stir-fry bitter melon, if you want the melon to keep its green color for a long time when it’s done, then when you cut it, you should soak it in warm water with a little salt, then pour it into a basket to drain and then saute…” , Nhung happily revealed. Nhung admits she is not picky in eating, but once cooked, it must be delicious. That’s why she doesn’t like eating out. In the hot summer, the need for food also decreases. Therefore, Nhung chooses to cook many sour soups such as fish soup, shrimp soup, side dishes such as salted eggplant, salted figs, fried beans, etc. With some dishes that take a long time to prepare like Nhung crab, they will be saved for the weekend. After finishing, 9X divides the finished product into small bags, keeps it in the refrigerator, is available to cook whenever needed. Despite being alone, 9X still regularly changes the menu to reduce boredom, but the main food still revolves around ingredients such as fish, chicken breast, seafood, beef… “I don’t eat pork often, only about one or two meals a week cook pork-related dishes.” Nhung shared about her personal interests. Normally, on weekdays, I have to go to work, so breakfast 9X mainly eats cereals or drinks nut milk. Only on weekends, she makes vermicelli and pho dishes to enjoy. When sharing her trays of rice on social networks, Nhung was praised by many people. Everyone must recognize that 9X is brave, skillful and hardworking. Perhaps this is the motivation for the single woman to love the kitchen more and love to cook every day. “The single life working away from home sometimes has a lot of stress and fatigue. But the most peaceful for those who love the kitchen like me is probably still every night after work, coming back home next to the kitchen. When I was young, I cooked for myself simple but passionate meals, but for me, loving myself is also from these small actions.” 9X said.

Meat ratio is also different, making many people wonder how to buy pork leg, which part to buy. Sohu page information, although they are the same legs, the front and hind legs have a difference in taste and sweetness. Depending on the dish, choose the type of front or rear legs accordingly. Pig’s front legs are both fat and lean, and the meat is tender. However, the forelegs often have more tendons, so they will be sweet, crunchy and have a lighter taste after cooking. It is suitable for processing dishes such as boiling, stewing, making porridge, imitation civet… The hind legs of the pig are active, the muscle structure is firm, and the lean is evenly distributed on the surface. Pork legs are suitable for filtering meat, stir-frying, cooking porridge… When comparing the meat of the two legs, it was found that the meat of the forelegs was 1/3 fat and 2/3 lean. Between the fibers of lean meat there is a thin film like beef. In terms of taste, the forelimbs are sweeter and more delicate, so the price is usually more expensive than the hind legs. In addition to choosing the front or rear legs to have delicious food, when buying pork legs, you need to pay attention to their freshness. Specifically, you can observe the color, the smell of meat.

For Ms. Tran Thu, cooking is not only a family responsibility but also a personal hobby. “I usually cook according to my interest, sometimes I’m busy with my eyes and nose, but I still try to cook. I work while standing in the kitchen.” sister shared. Ms. Tran Thu loves to cook In particular, the person who brought her interest in cooking was her father’s uncle-in-law and father’s former accountant. Both of them cook very well, maybe that’s why she was so influential. She loves the food the two of you have cooked. Thanks to that, she can now make many delicious and attractive dishes. In her meals, she usually does not have a fixed number of dishes, but most often vegetables, meat, shrimp or fish, beans… She also rarely calculates specific time in the kitchen. If she has free time, she will cook elaborate dishes, but when she is busy, the teacher will only be in the kitchen for 15 minutes. To be quick, Ms. Thu often prepares ingredients and food and then stores them in the refrigerator, only taking them out to cook when needed. With that, cooking with her becomes a lot simpler. As a teacher, Ms. Thu’s income is very stable, so 8X doesn’t pay much attention to the cost of each meal. With sister, “If the money is not much, it is better not to buy clothes and shoes than to worry about buying food.” When cooking, the teacher is always paying attention to food safety, ensuring the health of the whole family. For example, whether the food group is going to be incompatible with each other, how long is the cooking time, how fresh the ingredients are, etc. Once you have ensured this note, the cooked dish will surely be delicious. and attractive. The family has many members, each with a different taste, so she will comply with the family’s request. Not only that, she also cares about the health of each person, who is tired and healthy will have a completely suitable diet. In the summer, it is hot and uncomfortable, affecting the atmosphere of meals and people’s taste. Therefore, teacher 8X focuses on cooking cool soups from shrimp, crab, fish, shrimp or depending on the requirements of family members. As long as everyone feels good, that’s fine. To make meals less boring, Ms. Thu often changes the menu. For example, today, if you eat fried vegetables, the next meal will eat vegetable, root and fruit soup. Today eat pork, the next day eat chicken… In addition to meals, her family also eats other dishes such as vermicelli, porridge, pho… or take each other out for snacks. Thanks to the flexibility in processing dishes, or “changing the wind” for the whole family, every meal she cooks is liked by everyone. My husband always eats all the rice his wife cooks and then says “It’s okay too!”. And my father always tells the grandchildren “why can’t anyone cook like Aunt Thu”… Although these are only gentle and simple compliments, they make Ms. Thu extremely happy. That is the motivation for her to love her kitchen more and work hard every day. According to the Vietnamese Women

In addition, her family has a 30-year-old brother from the countryside who moved to Hanoi to work with her. In total, her family has a total of 6 members. In the past, Ms. Diep used to go to the market every day, or at least once every two days. However, she finds going to the market by day is time consuming and has no control over the market money.

Total: Over 1 million VND/week fixed. Of course, you still have to add a little fresh food every day, but not too big. Thus, with an amount of more than 1 million VND, Ms. Diep was able to buy quite a lot of food with enough meat, shrimp, fish and vegetables. After that, she washed, processed into small meals and stored in the refrigerator. “1kg of pork, I divided into 3 meals. 1.5kg chicken wings also divided into 3 meals. My fish is divided into 4 meals. When you like to eat cooked fish, cook it with sour or pickle. When I like to eat stock, I will go to the neighboring warehouse. My beef is also divided into small pieces to stir-fry onions and garlic or to dip noodles for breakfast.

Every day, I just need to buy more food or other condiments such as onions, tofu, and fruit if needed,” said Ms. Diep.

Never knew this fish had such a funny name. No one can explain. But let’s put the name aside for now, the important thing is that the fish makes the family meal more delicious. Like the catfish (same family, but red tail, bigger), the fish has a lot of small bones, but in return, the fish meat is fatty, soft and sweet. Unlike some other freshwater fishes, porpoises (including bream) only remove the intestines, clean the gills, cut off the fins and tail. Very quick. Absolutely do not scrape fish scales, because the fish scales are soft, crunchy, strange to eat. In addition, this fish scale should be accidentally crushed, making the fish meat bitter, so the villagers just let it be. Given the job by my mother, my brother and I quickly prepared some unpleasant fish, carefully placing them in a bamboo basket to drain. Mother gently put the basket of fish into the pot to marinate. As the name of the dish is “potato braised”, so my mother never seasoned it too salty, nor sweet. Depending on the taste of each place, each person has a different way of seasoning. But do not add cooking oil or add fat to create a very greasy taste because the nature of the meat and fish head is already fat. To color the broth, you can use coconut-colored water or molasses sugar. Marinate fish for 30 minutes for firm meat. Then, my mother brought it to the stove to cook. Wood stove has the advantage that in addition to saving money on gas, it also has the advantage that the firewood burns evenly and smoldering, so the fish cooks slowly, without having to watch. When the fish water is boiling, evenly absorbed, add one and a half cups of filtered water and cook until the fish is cooked, then season again and then turn off the stove. Do not overcook the fish, it is no longer crispy, but it is crushed. Add finely chopped scallions (or basil) and pepper to enhance the flavor and keep the stomach warm. Mom gently scooped up the broth and fish on a plate. Cut a piece of fresh lemon, mother squeezed it on the fish plate. The special braised dish there, without the sourness of the lemon is missing an important part. The basket of field vegetables picked by the father behind the dike was also placed on the dining table. The rice tray is simple but cozy. Always, after the word “invite the whole family to eat rice”, I quickly pick up the vegetables with chopsticks because I love raw vegetables. Wow, the vegetables, watercress and water need to be rolled up like a spring roll and then put into the chopsticks to dip the broth in the broth. How did the fat, slightly sour, and sweet leopard taste permeate the raw vegetables? Because this fish has many bones, it must be skillful in how to pick it up and know how to eat it to fully enjoy the delicious taste. Use a spoon or chopsticks to push the fish meat horizontally, the meat will drift along each fiber, leaving the fish skeleton intact. After eating this back side, turn over to the back side. Don’t forget to use the fish head, it’s very crunchy (but remember to leave out the two fisheye balls). Putting a piece of rice in my mouth with cod meat, I felt all sorts of flavors in the tip of my tongue – wanting to eat forever even though my stomach was full. Above all, the most delicious taste is the taste of the countryside, the sacred love of a mother for her family.

Grilled beef roll with guise leaves is a particularly delicious dish (Illustrated photo) How to choose good beef: You should note that you should not buy pre-ground beef at the butcher shops because it is difficult to know if it is fresh ground beef or not. It is best for mothers to choose their own piece of beef and ask the seller to grind it for you or bring it home to ensure the quality of the meat. In fact, small traders use many ways to turn pork and buffalo meat into beef. There are even pieces of rotten meat, which are “enchanted” to become delicious dishes “sloppy” in people’s daily meals without knowing anything. Through the reference process as well as the experience of housewives, it is not too difficult to distinguish what is good beef and what is bad beef. If it is real, fresh beef, it will look dark red on the outside, the meat is hunted and sliced ​​with adhesion and elasticity. When the seller is selling, you should pay attention to the cut inside. If the same color, the color is still fresh, then you can rest assured 50%. Particularly with fake beef will not look fresh, if it is pork it will be stronger than beef. If it is buffalo meat, the color of the meat is dark red, not bright red. This is an important trick in distinguishing fake or real beef that mothers should pay attention to observe. But that’s not all, the trick to choosing good beef is when you buy it, slice it thinly and soak it in water. After about 10-15 minutes, take it out and see, if the meat only loosens but the water is still white, it means that it is real beef. But if the piece of meat changes color to pink and white, and the color of the water also changes, it is 100% fake beef with pork. Eating these foods poses a huge risk to family and community health. In particular, when cooking delicious beef, it will have the aroma of beef, a bit stale, but if it is fake beef, there will be a bad smell of pork (because pork eats bran when cooking has an unpleasant odor).

In this way, fried, braised, grilled or stewed meat will be softer, more fragrant and especially sweeter. For chicken, after cleaning, you soak the chicken with water mixed with beer for 20 minutes, then steam or boil, the chicken will also be more fragrant and sweet. For braised and braised pork dishes, after cooking for meat, instead of using water to pour ginseng on the meat, you should use beer. This will help the pieces of meat become more fragrant, more attractive and even sweeter. Do not cook the meat too thoroughly Overcooking causes the meat to release a lot of water, the fibers are dry, fibrous and the meat loses its inherent sweetness. Therefore, when stir-frying, boiling meat, you should only cook until cooked. How long is the cooking time of meats to ensure that the meat is cooked enough but still safe? You can refer to the standard time as follows: – For pork: Boil or braise meat 20-25 minutes; Fry the meat for 10 minutes on each side; Stir fry meat for 5-7 minutes. Note: For stir-fry dishes, usually you will stir-fry the pork first, then pour in vegetables or other dishes. If the cooking time of these ingredients is too long, you can stir-fry the cooked meat first and then transfer it to a plate. Continue to stir-fry other ingredients until almost cooked, then pour in the pork. This way you usually apply with beef, but pork is also recommended. For chicken: Boiled chicken for 15-20 minutes, simmering and turning off the heat to braise for 10-15 minutes can take it out. Braised chicken requires 10-15 minutes. – For beef: Stir-fried beef for 3-5 minutes is poured into a plate, braised beef is soft for 20-25 minutes. Stir-fry/stock with vegetables with sweetness Carrots, mushrooms, onions, young corn, sugarcane, white radish, pineapple… are vegetables that have a sweet taste, during the cooking process, they will release sweetness into the water and so the pieces of meat cooked together will become should taste better. Therefore, when cooking meat with many other ingredients, you should choose at least one ingredient with sweetness to make the meat more juicy. For dishes that need more time to cook, such as stewed stock, you should apply this trick to make the dish rich and attractive. KN (th)

Overexploitation The researchers analyzed DNA to test eel products, including grilled eel and sushi, sold in restaurants. The results recorded that nearly 50% of the samples were identified as European eels (Anguilla anguilla) on the endangered animal list. This species is threatened by overexploitation due to increased consumer demand from Asia, especially China and Japan. These two countries consider eel a delicacy and aphrodisiac. Critically endangered and endangered eels are being sold in sushi restaurants in Hong Kong. Photo: South China Morning Post. European eels are listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites). The Ordinance for the Protection of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora requires an export permit and inspection of the species upon arrival in Hong Kong. Of the 80 samples, 36 were confirmed as critically endangered European eels, 29 were American eels, and 5 were Japanese eels. Critically endangered European eel is sold in 45% of the 80 sushi restaurants surveyed in Hong Kong. Photo: South China Morning Post. Gap The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said the results showed the animals were illegally existing in Hong Kong’s eel supply chain. The organization calls for urgent action to stop the illegal wildlife trade. To this day, Hong Kong remains one of the biggest hubs for the illegal wildlife industry, with a record number of wildlife seizures. In February, HKU published a study showing that thousands of species are legally trafficked through Hong Kong with inadequate traceability. At the heart of the problem lies a vague code system that customs officials around the world use to classify species. “The codes used for the eel trade are too general and only list products that are goods of the Anguilla species. However, those codes do not distinguish between different Anguilla species and their life stages,” said Jovy Chan, wildlife conservation manager at WWF. “Complete, specific and accurate commercial data are important to facilitate the implementation of conservation policies for eel species. In addition to European eels managed by Cites, some parts of Asia, for example the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan, have bans on the trade in European eels. Customs codes have a key role to play on issues of legality, traceability and sustainability of eels,” added Ms Jovy. David Baker, staff member of HKU’s Conservation Forensic laboratory and who led the eel study, said the results reflect the vulnerability of the retail market. “Our hope is to partner with WWF. This enhances surveillance at distribution points to prevent illegal seafood products from entering the market,” Mr. Baker said. A fisherman releases a Japanese eel in the Enshu Sea off Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. Photo: South China Morning Post. In 2020, HKU published a study showing that nearly half of eel products retailed in supermarkets and convenience stores in Hong Kong are endangered European eels. Based on DNA testing, the study found that nearly half (45%) of retail eel products originate from critically endangered European eel species. Products are only labeled as “eels”. “Consumers have the right to know where their food comes from and whether it is sourced in ethical and sustainable ways. This problem is not limited to eels,” Mr. Baker said.

The meal was cooked and presented by Vu Van Vo. (Source: Vietnamnet) Presented extremely beautifully, Vo’s plump, multi-dish dishes made the online community admire. Van Vo said that he was born in Bac Ninh, went to Africa to live and work since he was 17 years old. Currently, he works at a photocopy and photography shop in a rural area of ​​Angola. Having lived in Africa for 10 years, Vo still finds it difficult to eat local food. “There are few dishes that I feel good about, one of them is grilled goat – a specialty of Angola. That’s why I often cook Vietnamese food for my family.” The 27-year-old said that he works from Monday to Saturday, so he often “draws” on weekends. As a person who loves to cook, Vo has taught himself how to prepare and present food online, plus his own creativity, he has never taken any cooking courses. Vo shared: “To cook Vietnamese food here, I often have to go to the city 40-50 km away from home to buy ingredients. But not everything can be bought, so when I cook, I have to fix it myself.” The cost for these 6-person rice trays, if calculated in Vietnamese money, is quite expensive – usually ranging from 4 to 10 million VND. For example, a meal with grouper costs 10 million VND, because a 6 kg fish alone costs 6 million VND. As for the more simple meals, eating every day is about 400 – 500 thousand VND / meal. “People who come to the house to eat rice often praise the beautiful tray of rice and do not want to eat it. I feel very happy and motivated to cook more delicious meals,” Vo said. Vo also confided that he has been to Africa since 2011 but he has only visited his hometown once in 2015. Therefore, he is very homesick and the dishes have a taste of his homeland. Let’s take a look at Vo’s beautifully presented pure Vietnamese rice trays: (according to Vietnamnet)

Mr. Bui Van Tuong’s family, Doan Ket hamlet, Hop Tien commune (Dong Hy) pack freshly made rice noodles (photo taken before April 27, 2021). Perhaps when it comes to rice noodles products of Hop Tien commune, many people think that there are many households in the commune doing this job or that Hop Tien is an area specializing in producing rice noodles. However, when we found out information about rice noodles products in the commune, we were completely surprised that there were only 2 households in Hop Tien commune. In particular, Mr. Tuong’s family is known for the famous noodle product here. Telling us about the opportunity to come to the profession, Mr. Tuong said: My wife’s parents (in Phu Binh district) are households specializing in producing rice noodles since decades ago. Realizing that this is an easy-to-consume product, since 2006, my husband and I also started the profession. With the “craft” of the family, more careful work in the selection of ingredients and production, so the noodle products made by the family are all consumed by agents and people inside and outside the commune. On average, each month, my family sells about 6 tons of rice noodles, with the price of 22,000 VND/kg, earning about 130 million VND. Excluding expenses, my family earns from 18-20 million VND/month from making rice noodles. Not hiding his profession, Mr. Tuong freely shared with us about the stages of making standard rice noodles. Accordingly, to make the final noodle product, it has to go through many stages: Soaking rice, grinding flour, brewing flour, rolling noodles, washing, drying… At each stage, there must be separate attention to get the desired product. For example, when soaking rice, you have to wash the rice clean and then soak it. Soaking time must be enough 4 hours before grinding. Tuong added: Adjusting the temperature and putting the right amount of dough into the yarn rolling machine is extremely important. Because, if the temperature is too hot, but the amount of flour put into the machine is small, the noodles are easily broken. If you add a lot of flour but the temperature is not hot enough, the noodles will be raw, the noodles will not be clear. After being rolled, the flour is incubated overnight and then washed with cold water to separate the fibers, avoid sticking and finally dry in the sun. According to Mr. Tuong, the choice of rice to make noodles is equally important. The best rice is usually the Bao Thai variety, but the price is quite high, and the noodles are a bit sticky when cooked, so he and his wife use Khang Dan rice. Mr. Tuong shared: My family often buys Khang rice from people in the commune to grind to make rice noodles. Like Khang, local people are not hybridized like many other places, so the cooked noodles are not crushed. On average, each year, the family buys about 50 tons of rice for people in the commune. In addition, to make the color of white noodles beautiful, Mr. Tuong’s family focuses on drying in the sun. Noodles that are exposed to the sun for 1 day will be white. If it rains, your family has to dry the noodles with the heat of the industrial air conditioner, in the winter you can dry them in the sun and wind, so the noodles are still guaranteed in terms of design and quality. Thanks to the enthusiasm in each stage, the noodle product of Mr. Tuong’s family is always appreciated for its good quality and reasonable price, so it is supported by many people. Ms. Trieu Thi Vinh, from Bai Bong hamlet, Hop Tien commune confided: For more than 10 years, my family has regularly used rice noodles products of Mr. Tuong’s family. Noodles here are not mushy or crushed, fragrant with rice. Moreover, knowing well about your noodle making process, I feel secure when using it, not worrying about the use of harmful chemicals in the noodle product. Talking about his future plans, Mr. Tuong said: Currently, on average, my wife and I can make about 2 quintals of noodles per day, but we cannot supply enough for the market. The family also intends to expand the scale but still has trouble hiring workers, because the time to start making noodles is usually very early, from about 3-4 am, so it is difficult to hire people to do it. In addition, when the family wants to increase productivity, the family needs to invest in more machines and factories with high costs. However, in the long run, my wife and I will also consider investing in expanding production. Along with that, a trademark will be registered so that the product is known, trusted and used by more people.

On May 18, he decided to stand out and cook about 400 servings of rice, giving it to people in need in the area. Because it was a spontaneous action, he announced on his personal page, asked his relatives to notify the worker’s accommodation so that everyone could know. Mr. Nguyen Van Tu (gray shirt) carried out the activity of cooking rice and giving gifts to workers in the blockade area. “I used to run a restaurant business, so the utensils or the kitchen were available. However, the money for the materials was all paid for by me,” Tu told Zing. Hearing about the meaningful activity, some neighbors, friends and relatives also came to help the owner of the restaurant. From 5am, people started to prepare a large amount of vegetables, meat and fish and then cook to deliver rice at around 10am. Unexpectedly, 400 meals prepared by Mr. Tu and everyone were quickly distributed on the first day. Even, because he was a bit “overwhelmed”, he planned to take a break on May 19, waiting for the next day to continue, when many calls and messages asking for help returned, making him unable to bear it. “Many workers are very guilty. They are people from other provinces to work, do not have relatives here. The urgent blockade has put many people in difficult situations, some people say that the past few days have been full of instant noodles except for meals. “. Also after the first meal, some benefactors knew about the activity, so they donated some money and materials to help Mr. Tu. The dishes are divided into boxes with hot rice and distributed to everyone. On the second day of the activity, his group cooked a record of 850 servings, divided into 2 meals, 600 in the morning, 250 in the afternoon. Everyone cooked whatever they wanted, braised meat, fried vegetables, fried beans, fish sauce… about 20 The dishes are neatly arranged, full on the table waiting to be divided with rice. Because the locality is implementing social distancing, Tu also recommends that people limit concentration and arrange for a time slot to distribute meals for each area. He also asked the representatives of the innkeepers to come pick up meals and distribute them to the workers. “Sometimes when the rice ran out, but there were still people texting asking for food, I took the rest of the noodles from the restaurant for everyone, hoping to help them through the meal.” Unable to do business since the implementation of social distancing, Mr. Tu’s source of income has also been greatly affected. Therefore, even though he has a heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to continue the rice donation activity for too long. He plans to maintain it for the next few days, prioritizing those who have not been received in the past 2 days and then counting. “Being able to help people, even if I’m hungry for 1 or 2 days, I’m very happy. Most of the people and workers here are still struggling, not many people have savings to manage in such a situation. Hopefully, the epidemic will soon be pushed back so that everyone can return to their old rhythms,” he expressed.

According to Ms. Ha, a small trader at the 365 wholesale market, she usually sells vegetables every day. About a week ago, she started trading young crocodiles for sale. Due to the beginning of the season, the number of crocodiles purchased is not much, only 10-20 kg/day. These are young, small and sour, slightly acrid, but due to the scarcity of crocodiles, many housewives buy 1-2kg to eat. Crocodiles at the beginning of the season begin to be sold Crocodile price is only 40,000 VND/kg, much cheaper than last year’s price “Last year, I sold crocodiles at the beginning of the season for 60,000 VND/kg. But this year, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the price of crocodiles also decreased much, only 40,000 VND / kg. These are young crocodiles, which I bought from families in My Duc, Chuong My, Ung Hoa, “said Ms. Ha. Ms. Ha said that although young crocodiles at the beginning of the season are sour and a bit acrid, many guests especially like them. In addition to cooking sour soup, soaked in boiled water spinach, many housewives who love snacks also like young crocodiles with sugar or soaked in fish sauce. This small trader shared, in about a month, crocodiles in the North will enter the main crop. At that time, the crocodile was bigger and firmer, and thicker. The price of crocodiles when in the main season also halved, only about 20,000 VND/kg. Currently, this small trader also said that every day she sells crocodiles at the beginning of the season about 20kg. There were days when customers asked to buy more, but she did not have anything to sell. Talking about the experience of choosing to buy fresh and delicious crocodiles at the beginning of the season, Ms. Ha said: “The first 10 crocodiles in the season are almost 10, no need to carefully choose each one, they are still delicious. Buyers only need to choose large fruits with slightly lumpy skin and thick pulp to get a lot of sour meat. Avoid choosing fruits with dark skin, bruised and shiny skin because they are too young and can’t be kept for a long time.

Because the frozen crocodile stock had just ended last week, today when I went to the market, I saw that there was a sale of alligators at the beginning of the season, she rushed to buy 1kg for 40,000 VND. “The first crocodiles in the season are mainly young crocodiles and alligators, so you can buy sour fish soup or boiled water spinach soup to get a very delicious and refreshing bowl of soup. My grandson likes to eat young crocodile with fish sauce. Therefore, I bought 1kg to eat, bought it all over again. Because young crocodiles at the beginning of the season don’t last long, they get damaged quickly,” Hue said. This housewife in Ha Dong also said that from now until the end of the crocodile season, her house still has to buy many more times. Especially near the end of the season, when the crocodile is in the period of the cake, has the most meat and the most acidity, she often buys 10 kg of crocodile to shave off the shell, wash it, then let it drain and put it in the freezer cold gradually. “With this method, my family has crocodiles to eat all year round. In addition, I also soaked a few pots of crocodile water for the whole family to drink in the summer. Or at the end of the ripe crocodile season, I take advantage of making the crocodile shell to eat gradually. It is very convenient and delicious to eat crocodiles any way,” commented Ms. Hue. From mid-May, early season crocodiles are also sold by many small traders on the online market at the price of 35,000-40,000 VND/kg. The topic of selling alligators is also very popular, a lot of housewives come in to inquire and order.
