The Japanese have made instant noodles popular all over the world, through their instant ramen. Today, many people around the world consider instant Ramen as a delicious, nutritious and cheap dish. However, once upon a time, instant noodles were considered a “luxury dish” in Japan. Momofuku Ando, ​​the founder of the globally famous Nissin instant ramen brand, created the instant chicken ramen package as a convenience food that could be eaten anytime, anywhere in 1958 – a time when food was still scarce. relatively poor. However, when on supermarket shelves, “Instant Chicken Ramen” has turned into a luxury product, because their price is up to 6 times higher than a pack of fresh Udon noodles. As always, the prison on Rikers Island, New York must always ensure that cup noodles are never “sold out”. This dish is always consumed by prisoners with great speed, partly thanks to meeting all three needs of “delicious, nutritious and cheap”. Nissin noodle company only has two types of noodles “Oriental” and spicy to serve vegetarians. Because other flavors like “Chicken”, “Beef”, or “Shrimp” all contain ingredients of animal origin. According to statistics of the World Instant Noodles Association, China is the country that consumes the most packets of noodles each year in the world. In 2013, this country consumed more than 46 billion packages of noodles. China’s best-selling noodle is Tong-Yi instant noodles. According to a survey conducted in 2000 by the Fuji Research Institute, the Japanese feel most proud of introducing instant noodles to the world. For them, instant noodles are the true symbol of the “Made in Japan” brand, when this dish has been popular around the world. In Yokohama, Japan, there is an entire museum displaying instant noodles called Cup Noodles Museum – the entire space here fully showcases the development of instant noodles over time. If you peel off a packet of instant noodles and arrange all the noodles in a straight line, you will have a super “huge” noodle with a length of up to 51m, equivalent to the length of an Olympic standard swimming pool. However, despite being convenient and affordable, instant noodles have very few micronutrients, so they don’t provide too many beneficial vitamins or antioxidants. Most nutritionists advise people to be cautious and not eat too much instant noodles. Even healthy foods can be unhealthy if eaten all the time, says White, excluding the really healthy ones. Perhaps for many people, instant noodles are a convenient dish that can be eaten all year round. But keep in mind, it is not the main dish and can not be eaten often instead of rice and dishes made from unprocessed ingredients such as vermicelli, pho, vermicelli, wheat, … Please watch the video: Another great Japanese invention.

Recently, a pair of parents in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province peeked at their working son outside the window. The father of the child said that the child understands that it is not easy for his parents to go out to work, and he almost fell into tears when he saw the figure of the child working. (The Paper on April 22)

In the context of the miniaturization of the family structure, even the “workers” with ordinary backgrounds will “no matter how hard they are for their children”; watching the son who grew up in his coat to stretch out his hand for food to open his mouth, he was busy serving and delivering food in the restaurant. Cutlery and entertaining guests should not be neglected for a moment. Aiko’s eager parents have mixed flavors. On the one hand, they are gratified that their son is sensible, and they also understand that the child needs to be self-reliant and self-reliant sooner or later; on the other hand, parents who are used to holding their children in their palms still feel distressed and uncomfortable seeing their children suffer.

Faced with children who are not sufficiently socialized, facing children who have left asylum and taking care of them for the first time, parents who worry about and worry about their sons who are busy or not tired at work, want to go to the restaurant where their son works; be afraid of children Knowing, they chose to peek out the window. The sincere and simple “parental heart” is a microcosm of many parents, and it is easy to cause emotional resonance and psychological resonance. Facing the unexpected arrival of his parents, his son was taken aback for a moment, and then he waved his hand to signal them to leave.

In an era of prevalent symbolic interaction, “wave hands” is not only a wave of tribute to parents, but also an emotional expression; in silent communication, the son uses the gesture of waved hands to convey information “silently is better than sound at this time”— —I can do my job well, so please feel free to go back. Although it looks a little immature, the courageous, responsible, persevering, self-reliant “masculinity” of this young man will not be compromised by his appearance.

Society is a university without walls, and working in a restaurant can also gain a lot. Whether it is to improve communication and expression skills, improve organization and coordination, or sharpen mind and strengthen patience, part-time job not only promotes self-reliance and self-reliance, but also allows the young man to re-recognize and discover himself, which helps him to continuously adjust and improve himself. Restaurant waiters can not only exercise their bodies, but also exercise their ability to perceive words, opinions and behaviors; more importantly, in the process of dealing with all kinds of customers, it helps fledgling young people to enrich their understanding of human nature and understanding of reality. And cognition of society.

From relying on their parents to enjoy their achievements to being busy on self-reliance, the growth of adolescents needs to experience a painful process of breaking through the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. Only in the wind and waves and the big waves, can we grow up and strengthen our muscles and bones. Only when we have a stronger spiritual world and a more rational and mature psychology, can we not bow to difficulties or be overwhelmed by setbacks in the face of pressure and challenges. For the “post-00s”, this is not only an indispensable socialization, but also an irreplaceable spiritual growth; for parents, not only do they teach by precepts and deeds, and give enough care and companionship, but also master the art of “letting go” , Let children fly higher and farther.

It is reported that 15 drones of the Houthi armed forces destroyed an important oil refinery in Saudi Arabia. They once again taught the Saudi authorities with practical actions. In this attack, the Patriot air defense missile system equipped by Saudi Arabia once again The interception failure did not play any role. Experts believe that Iran has imitated the weapons made in the East and its performance has successfully surpassed the weapons and equipment sold by the US military to the Saudi authorities. In order to help Hadi’s regular army fight against Yemen’s Houthi armed forces, Saudi Arabia not only provided them with funds and weapon assistance, but also sent troops to intervene in the Yemeni civil war. The supporters of Hadi’s regular army are Sunni Saudis, and Yemen’s Houthi armed forces support. The one is Shia Iran, and the Yemeni civil war can also be regarded as a proxy war. Although Saudi Arabia has personally assisted Hadi’s regular army, the Houthi armed forces are very powerful and have repeatedly defeated the offensive of the Saudi coalition forces. In recent years, Iran has provided Houthi armed forces with many advanced ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. These Iranian-made equipment have played an extremely important role on the battlefield in Yemen.

The Houthi armed forces used bombs, drones and missiles to attack important targets in Saudi Arabia more than once. Although the Saudi army equipped and deployed the Patriot air defense missile system purchased from the United States, when the Houthi armed ballistic missiles and drones were launched The system did not respond at the time of the attack. The failure of the anti-aircraft missile system led to the destruction of important Saudi oil facilities, and the losses to be borne were as high as more than one billion US dollars. According to sources, the Saudi authorities have questioned the interception capabilities of the US Patriot air defense missile system, and the US high-level officials only undertook to explain the question questioned by the Saudis. The United States attaches great importance to the arms sales industry. Many US allies have been forced to buy weapons and equipment packaged and sold by the White House authorities. Saudi Arabia has made a fortune by oil, but its military strength is not the strongest in the Middle East. Therefore, Saudi Arabia pays protection fees to the United States every year to seek protection from the United States. The protection fees paid by Saudi Arabia are usually provided to the U.S. authorities in the name of buying arms. According to people familiar with the matter, U.S. arms are exported to different allies with different standards. Although Saudi Arabia and The United States has a good relationship, but the “advanced weapons” provided by the United States are only monkey versions. This monkey version of the weapon is not only incomplete but also has a back door, which the US can easily remotely control.

Analysts believe that Iran has copied many weapons and equipment from the eastern powers. These weapons and equipment have passed actual tests. The weapons and equipment provided by Iran to the Houthi armed forces on the battlefield in Yemen are very practical and reliable. This is also the Houthi armed forces in the war. One of the important reasons for defeating the Saudi coalition forces.

The flowers bloom in March and fall in April with drizzle. The spring in the south of the Yangtze River is fleeting, and disappears in a flash. Without the pink and white whitewashing, the spring in the water village is less charming. For Jiangnan people, it is not enough to regret. Just because “Yangzhou will go down in March in Yangchun, and Qintong will arrive in April in the world.” In April, Fangfei disappeared, and when the world was in mid-spring, the people of Taizhou Water Town had a heavy “feast on the water” interpretation at that time. Pursuing the traces of the elk in Jiangyan, dreaming of Qinhu, exploring the ancient folk boating activities, encountering the ancient town of Qintong for a thousand years, and embarking on a fascinating spring journey.

Throughout the ages, thousands of volumes of poems and songs have praised Jiangnan. When it comes to the beauty of Jiangnan, people say that the beauty lies in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but they often forget the diverse scenery of Yangtai. If the food of Yangzhou holds your stomach, then the beauty of Taizhou can grab your heart. Auspicious Taizhou, the most beautiful Jiangyan.

Jiangyan is a “water city” born from water, thriving because of water, and beautiful because of water. In the Jiangnan region, the poetic and picturesque water towns and ancient towns are the same, and within the ever-changing scenery of Jiangyan, there is the Qinhu wetland with the same color of the water and the sky, and the large-scale marching night tour culture “A dream to Qinhu”, which has a national reputation. Qintong Boat Festival, there is also an ancient town of Qintong with more than 20,000 square meters of Ming and Qing ancient buildings… the colorful Jiangyan, there is always a place that is fascinating, and stay for it.

The hometown of elk, Shuiyang Qin Lake

Shiliqin Lake, Kowloon Chaoque. The scull swayed, and the grass grew long and the warblers flew. The scenic Qinhu Wetland is located in the Lixiahe area, one of the three famous depressions in the country, covering an area of ​​806.9 hectares. It is a national wetland park with the theme of “water, wetland and ecology”. The lakes and rivers in the park are criss-crossed, and the fields are dotted with hundreds of species of animals and plants. It is also the habitat of red-crowned cranes and the hometown of elk.

Hearing that “Qin Lake Wetland is a Bibi in the Sky”, I know that this is true when I am in a wet place. Visit the Qinhu National Wetland Park, pass through the scenic gate of an overhead boat, go straight ahead, pass the quiet landscape on both sides, and reach the cruise ship dock. The moment we stepped on the locks of the cruise ship, we turned over the most exciting page of Qinhu Lake, misty and ink-washed. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the oars moving on the water surface, the vast lake water promotes the velvet aquatic plants to dance lightly. Sometimes waterfowls sing on the reeds, and wild mallards soar on the side of the cruise ship. The original noisy heart suddenly feels comfortable. As the boat travels to the depths of the lake, the promenade in the center of the lake is greeted by the mottled water shadow, which is like a broad road leading to the pure land of bliss. It is refreshing and full of joy.

After disembarking, walk along the tree-lined plank road full of spring. There is a science museum that talks about the Qinhu Wetland. The original use of pictures, text, video, and real-life water circulation system in the museum, for us to popularize the coexistence of people and birds in the Qinhu Wetland. Microcosm of the wonderful world. If you have plenty of time, you might as well follow the tour guide to slowly savor the mystery of the Qin Lake Wetland.

Facing the breeze, Yangliu Yiyi, insects and birds whispered. Stroll in the lake center park, one step at a time, and appreciate the tender beauty of the water village of “cedar forest water corridor, water stream and flower bank”. Many people come to Qin Lake Wetland for the cute elk. According to data records, Qin Lake is the habitat of elk, and a large number of elk fossils have been unearthed here. Today, there are still more than 50 elk living on this wetland, which shows that the natural ecological environment of Qin Lake wetland is extremely superior.

To find the trail of the elk and meet the elk at close range, you need to walk about 7.8 kilometers. Although the distance is long, the air in the park is fresh and the scenery is picturesque. If you walk with friends and revel in the beautiful scenery, you can forget the fatigue of hiking. If you are travelling with an elderly person, you can also choose to take a sightseeing bus. Due to time constraints, we finally had no chance to see the elk on the Yinyin Wetland with its head down drinking water and grazing. If you want to experience the tranquility and safety of the Qinhu wetland in depth, you might as well take a boat ride at the boat dock to experience the wonderful artistic conception of “people swimming in the painting”.

The lush Qinhu Lake is like a book, and the grass and tourists are words written by the breeze. The misty and vast Qinhu Lake is like a painting, shallow traces of water waves and migratory birds under the drizzle. The Qin Lake in the daytime is fresh and refined, gentle and moving, it is fascinating. So, what is the scene of Qin Lake at night?

A feast of light and shadow in the city of water city, a dream of Qin Lake

The beauty of Qinhu Lake will not fade due to the change of time sequence, nor will it be dimmed by the advent of night. The night is drooping, the past silent cruise ship dock, thousands of lights are dim, a dreamlike water city urban light and shadow feast is about to be staged.

When the mountain is silent, the water is quiet, the lights are on, and the cruise ship docks are singing and dancing. The long-awaited “Night Tour to Qin Lake” by thousands of people in Jiangyan finally came out. A light show with the theme of “One Dream of Qin Lake” made up for the “empty” night of Qin Lake, giving travelers a new and novel travel experience and adding a beautiful scenery to Jiangyan.

With the development of the times and the rapid development of technology, night tours have become a must-have for travel life. Back in the past, Jiangyan’s single nightlife, today’s Shuicheng night is dazzling with the night cruise of “Qin Lake in a dream”.

There are some beautiful things in the world, but they can’t be met. It coincided with the advent of “One Dream of Qin Lake”, we were fortunate to watch the night tour of Qin Lake that can be compared to the “Venice of the Water City”. “A Dream of Qin Lake” starts from the Qin Lake Pier, and travels along the route through “Nine Dragons Chaoque”, “Pagoda of Medicine Master”, “Liu Li Zen”, “Dian Jiang Tai”, “South Tower Reading”, “Guzhen Xinxin” Scenic spots such as “Rhyme” reproduce the poignant mythical story of Qinhu Lake through the expression of water curtain projection, water light show, water dance, and drone phalanx. Under the colorful lights, the glazed Zen rhyme of the slender Buddha statue on the lake surface is clearly visible. When the cruise ship circumnavigated the pagoda half a circle, many travellers clasped their hands to worship, hoping for good luck and prosperity.

This exquisite “visual feast” realizes the diversified travel experience of travelers enjoying the day and night scenery of Qin Lake quietly with “one scene during the day and one dream at night”. The ineffective Qin Lake tour is rejected, which is amazing. !

The largest floating temple fair in the world: Qintong Boat

After the Qingming Festival, the people of Jiangyan ushered in the most grand festival of the year: the Qintong Boat Festival. One side of water and soil nurtures one side of people. Qintong Water Town is agile due to water. In the same Dragon Boat Festival, there are dragon boat races in many places with similar traditions. In the Qintong area of ​​Jiangyan, Jiangsu Province, since the Song Dynasty, there has been an ancient folk boating activity. In 2007, the Qintong Boat Festival was listed as one of the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in the country and became one of China’s top ten folklore festivals, so it became famous.

Although I missed the blooming season of spring flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, I happened to encounter the world’s largest water temple fair: the Qintong meeting boat. There are losses and gains. How do you know or be blessed? Let it be wherever you go, lucky to see it!

It is reported that Qintong Boat Festival was originally because the locals protected the paradise of Qintong in order to thank the Yue Family Army for their heroic resistance to gold. Therefore, during the Ching Ming Festival, the spontaneous punting came here to pay tribute to the anti-gold heroes Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army. Of the undead. Gradually, the phenomenon of scrambling to sweep the tomb and commemorate the heroic soul on the Qingming Festival. Over time, this gradually evolved into the annual Qintong Boat Festival. For thousands of years, it has been passed on from generation to generation without interruption.

On a sunny morning, at the Qin Lake Meeting Boat Wharf, a grand folk meeting boat kicked off. Thousands of boats competed, hundreds of boats competed, thousands of people watched the ceremony, and the event was unprecedented. The charm of the water village is as beautiful as a picture. Folklore nostalgia, both refined and popular.

This grand floating temple fair was held as scheduled, not because of one person, but by thousands of ordinary Jiangyan people. I heard from the locals that ten days before the Qintong meeting boat, the local villages participating in the meeting boat will start to select the meeting boats, poles and rowers for the competition to test the water, and train the “Qi” directly to participate in the competition. .

On the day of the Qintong Boat Festival, thousands of people poured into the viewing platform. When the wonderful folk performances on the stage are over, with a loud salute blasting into the sky, the colorful smoke diffuses, and the Qintong boat competition officially begins. First of all, the sacrificial ship sailed into the lake area in the center of the stage of the meeting ship, followed by several tribute ships representing local culture, economy, and life. Secondly, there is a dragon boat immediately after another. Finally, there is the local Zhuzi boats in Qintong, with colorful flags fluttering, dry bamboo dancing, drums clamoring, and everyone responds.

The Qintong meeting boat is a grand ceremony of water, a gathering of boats, and people’s hard work. Compared with the ordinary landscape and scenery, this annual folk custom activity is more worth watching and intriguing.

Qintong Ancient Town, a “Living Thousand Year Old Town”

Walking into Jiangnan, there are countless ancient water towns. For an ancient town to stand out from the same Jiangnan ancient town, it must have a shining spot that “others” cannot imitate. The ancient town of Qintong in Jiangyan is just such an “unconventional” ancient water town. Except for the ubiquitous small bridges and flowing water, secluded residences in deep alleys, and stone-paved streets, this ancient town has more than 20,000 square meters of well-preserved Ming and Qing ancient buildings, and there are locals living in the streets and lanes. It is a “living”. Thousand-year old town.

Strolling in this ancient town, there are people rushing to work, people walking around, and people busy selling snacks… A scene and a thing are not deliberately arranged, but the original appearance of the ancient town. There is no transitional pursuit of “returning to ancient times”, but while preserving ancient buildings, it conforms to the modern life style. No wonder some people say that “Qintong Ancient Town has lived for a thousand years.”

You must see the old and new “Eight Sceneries” when you visit the ancient town of Qintong. The windows and tiles in the streets tell the past of the ancient town. Blue bricks and black tiles, flowers and shadows are clear. Secluded alleys, telling the past and present. One wall and one corner, the ancient charm is melodious. A tree blooms, and the garden is full of flowers.

The ancient town is surrounded by water and is known as the “land of fish and rice”. Therefore, when walking on the streets of the ancient town, you can often see fish balls, fish cakes, crabs and other flavors. Among the many delicacies in Qintong Ancient Town, the most famous is the Qinhu Eight Fresh Banquet, which is worth a try.

UFO will paint Jiangyan on the boat to keep the health and well-being of Yangqin Lake. Walking in Jiangsu, you will encounter an unforgettable “Oriental Water City Venice” tour, enjoy intangible cultural and folk activities, get close to the natural ecology, and enjoy it.
