Buying food online and receiving goods that are completely different from the advertising image is always a common story and is discussed most actively by the sisters on groups. Recently, T. (Hanoi) spent more than 1.5 million dong to buy durian on Facebook, but it made people angry. When the shipper delivered the goods, Ms. T subjectively did not check carefully, when she opened it, she found all frozen, mushy, moldy inside. A customer buys Alaskan lobster online up to a million dong/kg, but when it’s cooked, it’s only shell and water. The shrimp meat is only 1/10 of the outside size. A mother who used to spend up to 3.5 million to buy king crab online for her children to try. However, the advertising photo is one side, the food is received a type … The advertising photo that the shop posted, the crab meat is shrunk but not significant. As for the crab received after being roasted, the crab meat is extremely shriveled, looks shriveled, and sticks to the shell. Excitedly ordered bread on the occasion of the discount and the end was indeed a hot bread but… no filling. An international student saved up pocket money to buy a pizza at the weekend and received a tiny, deformed cake in return. 50,000 VND a set of rice and get back a “night” chicken thigh.

The money in Dai Thanh’s national treasury was spent like a waterfall by the Empress Dowager, even when she died, she still brought a large amount of precious gold and silver with her, among them, the most precious was the night pearl. placed in Cixi’s mouth. Such luxury, but surprisingly, it was the Da Minh Chau that later caused disaster, also because of it and the burial properties that Tu Hi’s grave was stolen, most of the treasures in the grave also fell. into someone else’s hands. The tomb thief of Empress Dowager Cixi is a famous tomb thief once in modern history – Ton Dien Anh. In the spring of 1928, Sun Dien Anh ordered to go ahead and besiege the Malay valley. On the way, he repeatedly encountered the magnificence of temples and shrines at Thanh Dong mausoleum, and thought of stealing graves in his heart. Under the name of research, Ton Dien Anh sent the guards of the mausoleum to another place and began to commit the act of stealing his own grave. Sun Dien Anh plundered Emperor Qianlong’s Du Tomb and Ding Dong Tomb in the Putu Valley of Empress Dowager Cixi. First, Sun Dien Anh blew up the door to Ding Dong Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi. He was surprised to see that the body of Empress Dowager Cixi after decades of burial still did not decompose. After he calmed down, Sun Dien Anh was stunned by the glittering jewels piled up in the tomb. According to records in history books, the burial and body of Empress Dowager Cixi are mostly precious jewels and ivory in the world. Among them, the most precious is the Da Minh Chau tablet that Tu Hi holds in his mouth. In the book “The Heist of the Tomb of Cixi”, it was recorded that the nightingale weighed about 133.4 grams. It is worth more than 10 million taels of silver, if converted into today’s currency, that is more than 800 million yuan (equivalent to nearly 3,000 billion dong). As to what research the Ye Ming Chau Cixi had in his mouth was made, there were many disagreements. Some people think that it could be a fluorescent stone that can glow, but many people think that the Da Minh Chau is a round natural diamond, which is also the diamond we often call it today. Origin of the Nightingale King Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire (located in the Indian Subcontinent) once lost a Mughal Empire diamond that was about 350 years old. That diamond weighed about 787 carats, but about 300 before it was cut into pieces. That year, Abbati of the Kingdom of Afghanistan undertook eight expeditions to India, capturing a portion of those precious diamonds. Between 1760 and 1762, this treasure was donated to Emperor Qianlong through a mission. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi took over, and this rare treasure also fell into her hands. Cixi loved it very much, decided to bring it to the grave with her, but in the end, it was stolen by Ton Dien Anh. How did the Nightingale fall into the hands of “Oil King” Rockefeller? After Ton Dien Anh stole the Da Minh Chau from Thanh Dong Tomb, he gave it to Tong My Linh. Tong My Linh loves this pearl very much, so she put it in her shoes to bring to important parties. Once when Tong My Linh attended a party in America, during the party a rich American businessman saw a pearl on Tong My Linh’s shoe and expressed his love for it. , hoping that Tong My Linh will sell the pearl to him. This businessman is the world-famous “King of Oil” Rockefeller. Rockefeller’s influence at that time was not small, he gave many conditions that made people fascinated. Finally, Tong My Linh also sold the night pearl to Rockefeller. To this day, the night pearl is likely still in the collection of the Rockefeller family. Not only the Dowager Empress Dowager Cixi, but perhaps many treasures related to Empress Dowager Cixi are also lost. Rockefeller is the famous “king of oil” around the world. For example, in 1900, when a coalition of eight countries invaded China, burning Yuanming garden, stealing a large amount of treasure. Those precious pearls are like that of the night pearl, I don’t know when I can return to the ancient country. *According to Sohu (China)

Writer Pham Hoa (right) during his visit to the old battlefield. Photo Xuan Ba Connect with wife Pham Hoa. Still these complications are different from the heart surgery… Russian teacher, retired Pham Hoa’s wife probably understands her husband’s character? Remember years ago, Pham Hoa had just gone through a major surgery and wore high blood pressure and the sequelae of diabetes, but she still approved for her husband about the unpaid agency. No pay and principle is voluntary. It’s the organization Truong Son Traditional Association- Ho Chi Minh Street ! That far away year, I followed Pham Hoa and generals Vo So, Nguyen Anh Tuan, Nguyen Ba Tong… and some brothers and sisters of the Traditional Society on the Truong Son Roads. Strangely, thinking of Pham Hoa is thinking of white obsession? The haunting thing from Pham Hoa’s stories. The white color has been haunting Pham Hoa since the days of driving in Truong Son. Truong Son Road! Like an instinctive howling, the collective now draws us in? Truong Son Dong – Truong Son Tay, 5 longitudinal and 21 horizontal axes with a length of 24,000 km. Pham Hoa is also only about half way through the journey, experiencing and witnessing countless tragic things. More than 20,000 martyrs have remained on those stages, of which the fiercest is still Road 20 Quyet Thang. That time went to Se Su underground. Perhaps due to the bomb, a large turtle like a basket, the old man staggered into the water’s edge. But very strange, his belly is not grateful anymore, but white! The old man was dumped in the trunk of the car. Then it was split. The fire is boiling hot. The whole platoon drove hungry, eager to eat. Midnight suddenly creepy white flares. The whole convoy was exposed black on the white tire road, which was bare without a single tree because of bombs, piercing bombs and defoliation poisons. The ear piercing the sound of explosions. Strangely, the flares of bomb-hit cars in all sizes of flares suddenly flared up, sometimes blue, sometimes white. An entire squadron of vehicles was hit by a bomb. Soldiers bickering with each other, maybe eating turtle meat, so you rebuke?! Then one afternoon ran a risk through Xe Ca Mang. The guy in front of the car stepped on the brake and stopped in front of a hidden stream. Pham Hoa screamed and rolled down the stream quickly and then he opened the car door and rushed out… Thought the bomb was sudden. Chemistry is not. Oh my god, dozens of young women are bathing in streams! Creepy white spaces like metal shards pierced the two young soldiers’ visions. Stunned for a moment, the two boys climbed up to the cockpit, leaving behind a lot of tires in the sunny afternoon without Truong Son and playful youthful teasing… That rare peace did not last long. Just over thirty minutes by car, assuming that with that road, the speed of the very aggressive Gat 63 is only slightly more than 30 km/h. Explosions rose to the ground behind them. But Pham Hoa’s car escaped from dangerous underground coordinates. Both of them turned their painful gazes helplessly at the black space of the coordinate bombs that suddenly fell on the peaceful white spaces behind them! Oh my god, the TNXP girls were bathing just now, how many of them escaped that deadly stream? Writer Pham Hoa (right cover) during his visit to the old battlefield. Photo Xuan Ba The working team of Truong Son Traditional Association- Ho Chi Minh Street was following the branches of 20 Quyet Thang Street. It was a strategic transport branch that crossed from Quang Binh to the Vietnam-Laos border, an unexpected bold creation during the war for 16 years, protected by blood. The blood of 559 soldiers of the Truong Son driving force of the TNXP as a kind of epic has elected places that will hurt the hearts of posterity. ATP Centers (Crab A, Ta Le Underground, Phu La Nhich Pass), Tra Ang, Tam Co Cave… The delegation stopped longer at Tra Ang on 20 Quyet Thang Street. That year, one afternoon, the vehicle of Pham Hoa’s unit escaped death through Tra Ang. A campaign to urgently transport gasoline through that Key. Deadly flames burst from the gasoline drums that were hit by bombs, including napalm bombs, strangely spewing white fire! That deadly white fire instantly fell on the formation of the army, TNXP. 29 boys and girls, 22 at the most, instantly shrouded in white like that! Writer Pham Hoa (on the left) At the Truong Son Traditional Association – Ho Chi Minh Street, there are veterans… strange! He’s old, but he’s too enthusiastic and enthusiastic. And it seems that every man has some odd talent? And veteran Pham Hoa also showed something strange. This strange thing was quickly encouraged and corrected by the members of the Association, considering it a unique collective work. It’s a project White flower hill park . A hill is eye-catching if not beautiful on the legendary Truong Son Street. Next, please quote verbatim: The hill area of ​​about 7 hectares will be a dominant white color. On the hill are hundreds of species of white flowers, try to choose something fragrant. Many types of white flowers are planted on beautifully designed pots and platforms along the internal roads in the park. In the park, sometimes pavilions place stone benches made from white materials. On the top of the hill is a simple, modest white Temple designed in the style of a Vietnamese Temple. The Temple’s walls, roof, doors and interior are all built of white marble. Please do not associate and infer here white mourning, loss. The white color symbolizes the heroic sacrifice of Truong Son youth. The white effect pops up the innocent and pure dedication of the Truong Son soldiers and thousands of TNXP soldiers who, when they fell, were still in their twenties, creating a strong feeling about the past and traditional education. The black marble wall with gold letters with the names of more than 20 thousand Martyrs is placed on the left and right side of the LS Temple. That temple is common to 20,000 LS Truong Son and TNXP. It is a spiritual and cultural work, a place to worship the young LS heroes of Truong Son. Compatriots across the country, tourists come here to visit and pay tribute. Contributing to educating the moral education of drinking water, remembering the source of the national spirit and patriotism for today and future generations. I also heard specifically about this Project. The whole part explains, explains the forms of investment scale, Location, time, capital source, implementation process and implementation organization. Looking around, the park’s budget is 15 billion and the Temple is about 7 billion. The surprising thing is that although it is just a beginning, there are already a number of units and benefactors who have voiced their support. So the financial plan (specifically, the method of socialization of the White Flower Hill Park project invested by the Truong Son Traditional Association – Ho Chi Minh Road) may have been directed? Writer Pham Hoa (second from right) More remarkable is the local zeal of Quang Binh, the cradle of the legendary Truong Son Road. Without a word, the Truong Son Traditional Association – Ho Chi Minh Street had a working session with the leaders of Quang Binh province. The key members of the Association, in addition to General Vo So, were major generals Hoang Anh Tuan and Nguyen Ba Tong. Fortunately, the entire provincial leadership, from the Secretary to the Chairman, after listening to Major Generals Tuan and Pham Hoa presented the project White flower hill park From surprise and delight, all of you enthusiastically contributed and discussed. In the end, Quang Binh leaders agreed very much in implementing this project locally and creating all favorable conditions for the project to be implemented as soon as possible. Place White Flower Hill Park is decided from the starting point of KM zero of Road 20 Quyet Thang. But for some reason, this beautiful and romantic project (not unrealistic, not unrealistic?) has not been implemented for many years? That bloody road, the time Pham Hoa’s age started with white obsessions? And this morning suddenly a ghastly obsession. Veteran, writer Pham Hoa has suddenly passed away. A colonel and writer Pham Hoa used to hold the entire “soul” of military cultural and artistic activities. How many viewers remember Pham Hoa as the author and devoted a lot of care to the show We Are Soldiers on the People’s Army Television. And writer Pham Hoa, former deputy director of the Army Propaganda Department, has never received a cup of water from anyone when three times sat at the National Council to review the titles of People’s Artists and Meritorious Artists. The talent through the Joke of Creation and The remote area (Typical for the two genres of short stories and novels in Pham Hoa’s writing career, which has elected Pham Hoa’s prestige? Is it correct to say that some people will listen, scare people, apologize, shy? Therefore, Pham Hoa has grown up many times in a sensitive and difficult position. Many close friends know Pham Hoa three times sitting at the State Council, there are no whispers of negative gossip. For this, someone keeps adding two more Trong Khoi and Pham Quang Long who are close to this job with Pham Hoa… Remember, when artist Cao Mat got cancer, writer Pham Hoa proposed to the Department of Expedited Propaganda to submit an application to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Culture to make a dossier for Cao Mat. Then, fortunately, Cao Mat got a special award from the People’s Artist without passing meritorious merit. Remember, love Pham Hoa! How many times went down Thanh’s hometown and up the forest to the sea. How can I forget to comfort this familiar feeling from someone who has been on the car for so many trips. Side seats where located in familiar and strange lands. Pham Hoa is like an effective hyphen to close the gap between friends and writers for unknown reasons. And in every place, in any situation, a Pham Hoa is also revealed when whispering, sometimes troubled by the confiding of the times and the chaos of cooking, writing, and literature! I still know that the disease, the child has to be happy, but the death of a loved one, even when we are only 70 years old, is also a joke of nature?

After a period of banning on-site customer service, the People’s Committee of Quang Nam province decided to allow restaurants and cafes in Hoi An City to open for sale normally. As noted by PV VTC News, on the first day the shop was allowed to reopen and serve customers on-site (May 26), some coffee shops in the area around the Chua Cau arc presented tables and chairs from very early and attracts a large number of diners. However, it is also the only area in the old town that has visitors. The rest, most restaurants and cafes on the streets of the old town center such as: Bach Dang, Nguyen Phuc Chu, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Tran Phu, Le Loi, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai…, are still closed. dormant. Lemongrass herbal tea shop Mot (150 Tran Phu) – the most famous culinary address in Hoi An ancient town when diners want to enjoy have to wait in long queues to buy, has not yet reopened. Located at the end of Nguyen Thai Hoc Street – the location is considered a prime location, but this restaurant is also closed temporarily since the time of the 4th COVID-19 outbreak. Similarly, a row of restaurants a few steps away were also closed, although the ban on serving guests on site was lifted. The restaurant on Bach Dang street has its doors closed. A cafe with ancient architecture, mossy roof tiles over time, is still not ready to open to welcome guests. Nguyen Mai Ly (restaurant owner on Bach Dang street) shared that she started closing her business after the April 30-1/5 holiday because of the re-emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic. “Even though the local government now allows normal operations, if we open for business, there will be no customers. Because the shop in the old quarter mainly serves tourists, but now the epidemic is epidemic. complicated, tourism is also frozen, so no one comes to Hoi An to visit,” Ms. Ly said. Like Mrs. Ly, many restaurant and cafe owners in the Old Quarter are looking forward to the day when the COVID-19 epidemic is extinguished to resume business soon.

I thought yam only appeared in family dishes, but when fried, it is one of the top street foods in Saigon. Not only keeping the purple color as well as the natural sweet flesh, this dish also has a faint fatty taste of fresh milk. Then when put on the outside of the crispy, hot fried crust, people will eat it all the time without getting bored. Illustration Fried yams do not make people feel dry but soft and moist, fragrant and easy to eat. (Illustration) Fried Sake I don’t know where this dish originated, but when combined with a layer of starch, sake is “shining” much better. Sake pieces are cut to taste and fried until they turn an eye-catching golden brown color. It’s so simple, but it has created a very “good” dish. Sake is characterized by its fat but not starchy flesh. The outside is crispy and fragrant, but the meat inside still retains its soft moisture, so you don’t have to worry about how much you eat. To increase the taste buds, people also shake with soot and cheese to make the dish delicious, sweet and sour. Illustration Sake may sound strange, but it is a popular snack for many Saigon people in the late afternoon. (Illustration) Banana Fried Pancake Fresh bananas combined with crispy crust make people want to eat forever. The banana is thick, rolled evenly and dipped in flour. After deep frying, it will create a golden crust and bring a completely new flavor. Bite into the crispy, salty crust and then touch the sweet banana inside, all intertwined to bring about a delicious and attractive flavor. The hot banana cake has just drained the oil, just blow it up and slowly sip it to feel it. The taste is popular, but it adds a special feature to Saigon street food. Illustration Fried banana cake is a popular street food in Saigon with its delicious crunchiness. (Illustration) Fried durian There are many ways to cook durian to create a flavorful dish and fried durian is one of them. People use durian meat that has been beaten into thin rice paper, then dipped in flour and deep fried in oil. The delicious and golden cake is eye-catching with a crispy crust. Although the kernel is not overwhelming, it is enough to occupy the taste buds by the characteristic passionate aroma. The dish is extremely ideal for those who are afraid of their mouth when enjoying this fruit directly. Because the cake reasonably harmonizes the crunchiness of the dough, the light fat of the durian. Illustration There is no doubt about the love of the fat people for this “passionate” delicious fruit. (Illustration)

Like the hierarchy in a certain definition, fish sauce is a dish reserved for the class that still has many difficulties to survive. But I dimly realized that the fish house society still has its own rules and voices. The snakehead fish sauce is cooked with pork fat, sugar + monosodium glutamate + ground pepper, dipped with boiled okra or cucumber, or eaten with purple potato soup cooked with shrimp or minced meat only for the wealthy. The pot of braised fish sauce is even more remote because it is expensive when it comes to bacon, snakehead fish and silver shrimp, … I choose friends with a cup of fish sauce very early. My mother told me to buy a tamarind from her sister’s 5 Pieces, go back and eat with cold rice. Selling sour tamarind to Saigon with lots of zinc, needing to be tall, sister 5 is young but likes to eat betel nut. She’s so cute, she never takes money and keeps telling me to eat as much as I can. Mam ruoc is no longer lonely when choking fish comes to share joy and sorrow. My mother and I often sit and tear fish sauce and eat it raw with herbs, banana chips + star fruit and cold rice. Asking the elders in the West, I received the answer: the West knows how to make fish sauce from Indonesia and snakehead fish sauce is suggested by Khmer people. 2. Lost in the youth in Can Tho for 5 years and 11 months, I know Tay Do is very famous for hot pot with fish sauce, but I have never tried it, because the dish with a lot of money is only for receiving precious guests. Time has passed, it has also been windy and rainy and we know each other a lot, in my eyes, the South is the path of fish sauce and islet pot (hot pot), like a familiar saying from friends: If you don’t eat fish sauce, you are not a local West!. In my young years, I still don’t have a satisfactory answer when Chau Doc – An Giang and Ca Mau are always affectionately called “the kingdom or land of fish sauce”, but Can Tho is resounding with fish sauce hotpot. Asking the elders in the West, I received the answer: the West knows how to make fish sauce from Indonesia and snakehead fish sauce is suggested by Khmer people. Borrowing the method of making beef sauce from snakehead fish in the Ho Sea, Can Tho is the economic center of the Southern Continent, where “white rice with clear water” has created a method of fermenting fish with Vietnamese identity: using Listen to fermented roasted rice, instead of cold rice. The Khmer people are sincere and honest, but the cuisine is still entangled in the wild. Living in harmony between the two rainy and sunny seasons along the Mekong River, both the Khmer and the Southern people gradually perfect the rustic dishes from fish sauce. Khmer people in the West know how to apply more spices to make beef sauce wrapped in green banana leaves more fragrant. Snakehead fish in the pot of braised fish of the West is replaced with basa or howling fish for fatter. At that time, when I heard about the original way of fermenting beef sauce, I did not dare to eat it, not to mention the stories of weaving and adding charms from folk about the Khmer. Then I try to practice and feel very delicious! 3. The time I had a meal in Phnom Penh, it was so delicious with Prahok Kob. Mixed beef sauce with bacon + beef and dangerous chili, wrapped in green banana leaves and grilled on charcoal. Just raw cucumber, eggplant and vermicelli, mixed with fish sauce, I’m full, I don’t care about other dishes… That night, I also learned the national spirit of the Khmer people through the mouth-watering saying “No prahok, no salt”, deeply understood: without beef sauce, the meal cannot be delicious! Southeast Asian countries all have their own “country spirit”, which I have also tasted such as Ngapi – Burma, Kapi – Thailand, Trasi and Petis udang – Indonesia, Bagoong – Philippine, Belacan – Malaysia, Padaek – Laos, … In my eyes, Vietnam deserves to be the “Lord of fish”. The variety and abundance is so rich that I cannot count all the separate categories by region… 4. The rain is pouring heavily, eating fish sauce to realize the bold, honest, and innocent features of the old countryside. Processing is as easy as the identity and life of the fish, when the fish is choked with a little water, boil it to get the juice. If you want the fish sauce to be strong or light, depending on the amount of fresh coconut water you add to dilute the fish sauce. Bring to a boil again, I season to taste. Among the spices I’ve tried, for me, garlic and lemongrass are the best, so I minced them and put them in the hot pot to add extra fat. Looking at the plate of meat, everyone will be amazed, but those who like to eat fish have the same opinion: the best is to eat vegetables with fish sauce! When I cook hotpot, I think of my mother, because she foresaw my fortune: old age, no job to earn money, so I have to eat fish sauce to change day by day…

However, the male idol himself also said that he will never go on a diet like that again. (Photo: Internet)
