Liang Shiqiu's Prose —— After reading Treat Me, I have a deep feeling that we China people seem to like asking for trouble, and this troublesome and frustrating "trick" of treating me is like being addicted. Once you get married and start a business, you can't stop for a lifetime after you invite your first guest. You must treat anyone, big or small. Whether it's to repay a debt of gratitude, show off, make friends or simply invite friends and relatives to get together at home, it's all a reason to treat. It's really tiring to treat. I've experienced it myself. Every Spring Festival, my mother always has a headache for treating guests. The first annoyance is who to invite. New Year's Eve-I invited my relatives (there is no doubt about this, so it's not too much trouble), and I got bored in the next few days. Which friends can't be invited and which friends must be invited. Usually the guests that must be invited include those who have helped us within one year or invited us before. This may be a debt of gratitude ... of course, the real troubles are not limited to these. The treat is of course a meal, so the most important thing is the menu, that is, what to eat. Don't eat too casually, otherwise it will look too shabby and lose face; Don't eat too casually, or your wallet will break a big hole. Chicken, duck and fish must be available, not less (these are "basic"). Vegetarian dishes are usually decorated, and no one wants to eat them at all (it's like an extra "free" gift) Then there are abalone belly wings (this is the "gimmick" of the whole meal). Generally, you only eat one or two at a time, for two reasons. One is expensive, and the other is that cooking at home is really not delicious. The menu is drawn up, but also from the major supermarkets, food markets to buy back, not very laborious but very laborious. Finally, it depends on the improvisation of the day, because many dishes are not often cooked on weekdays, and the taste is good. Only after serving the table can the guests know from the expression on everyone's face. If the taste is good and the guests are smiling, the "chef" will naturally be relieved; But if the guests frown, the "chef" wants a hole in the ground to get into. Finally, all the guests left, and the host still had things to do: a lot of oily and dirty dishes to wash; Clean up the peeling paper in one place (the worst thing is that you can't sweep the floor during the New Year, and the garbage in one place can only be picked up by hand and wiped with a cloth). Sometimes guests have a "bad appetite" and leftovers become the next day's lunch. Therefore, as Mr. Liang Shiqiu said, "One day is restless, waiting for you." It is really troublesome to treat. Liang Shiqiu's Prose "The Art of Swearing" For those who love swearing and are often scolded, the word "cursing" is a part of their lives. But look carefully, in modern society, the word "scold" has become less and less deep. Swearing is a skill and an art. If a person can scold the other person to the point where he is speechless and unable to cope, it can be said that he has reached the highest level of swearing. Sadly, in this society, when people scold each other, it is not only unsightly, but also boring and disgusting. If a person has read a martial arts novel, he will find that the skills of the characters in the story are all perfect, sharp and subtle. Knowing yourself and yourself is the basic condition for swearing. If you know each other's shortcomings, then you will hit the nail on the head. There is no need to beat around the bush. Enough is enough, retreat for progress, showing great tolerance and being respected and praised by others. Calm attitude, elegant conversation, but also showed their personable side. Make a mountain out of a molehill, find fault, point out the parts that have not been scolded one by one, and then exaggerate and expand the topic. Beating about the bush and hitting the nail on the head are sometimes more effective than the commonly used "asshole". We often think that swearing is always as loud as possible; The uglier the curse, the better, but many people don't know that it is actually wrong. We only know that swearing is to let others know his fault, and sometimes it is to vent the pressure in my heart. But what we don't know is that swearing also has the skill of swearing, the purpose is to convince the other party, and at the same time let others think that you have no intention of teasing.
