My newly bought flowers
Nov 27, 2009 | 6:41 PM PST

I bought some chrysanthemum last weekend, with yellow and purple color. The weather became cold so quickly, so I guess the flower will die down soon. Never mind, it will bloom next autumn.

What's more, I bought some pansy. It's small, so very cheap, only 1 RMB each other, equals to 1/6.8 dollar. I grow it in a white pot, hehe, the pot cost me much more money. The sunlight is so weak, so the flowers are not clear. Sorry.

So busy these days, I have to rent a house and learn driving the car and other important things. God bless all of us.

Hefang street

Hi, everyone. I'm busy these days and the weather was so bad, so ...

I took three pictures in the Hefang street, a famous local street, I'd like to share them with you.

I don't when did people built it, but I guess it must be at least 70 years old. It belongs to an old company which has sold preserved meat for over one hundred years. Do you know preserved meat? Hehe, I showed you some preserved fish and ducks long ago in one of my blog when I was in Shaoxing city. Well, people put some salt ,soy and  aniseed onto the meat, and then put it in a packaged pot. After a period of time, they take it out and hang it under the sunshine drying it. After being solarized for several days, it could be made to a dish. People will cut into pieces and steam it. That's all. Haha, I just imagine the process, so don't make it as I told. However, if you want I can find the method on the network. Though it's delicous for us, but not healthy and I think few of you will love it since it's so local, so Chinese. Hehe.

Well, this building was built in 1926, I guess so. Did you find the "1926" number? Just at the top of the building. Hehe, what words should I use to describe it? I forget. Anyway, it's not hard to find it, right? You see the Macdonald.Well, I haven't eaten it. But I have been to the KFC several times. It's quick and delicous,but a little expensive for what they sell/ However, it only costs us (two people) about 8 dollars. If we have meal in Chinese restaurant, we will pay more, about 10-15 dollars. Of course, it depends which restraurant we have meal and which kind of dish we have. You know Chinese food is complex. Hehe.

The street is sweet, with a river in the middle of the street. wow, I'd like to go out though it is cloudy now. Hehe, just go to the flower market. I haven't been to it for several days. There must be some beautiful chrysanthemum. Well, I still have a lot of work to do. See you next time. Good luck.
