The story of a glass of lemon tea
(Baonghean) - These days, young people also sit around drinking green tea, eating peanut candy, and playing chess, right, Grandma?
- My tea shop is the only one around here, and those are just some newly opened sidewalk lemon tea stalls, sir. They're imported from Hanoi and are very trendy these days.
- Is it something delicious that's attracting so many customers, ma'am?
- Probably so, otherwise who would be so idle as to go out and drink water mixed with dust? Look, those pretty girls just pulled over, their dresses flowing as they sit on plastic chairs. Why don't they wear something more comfortable? Luckily, the lemonade stand isn't... floor-level, otherwise the cleaning staff would have a field day! And those other girls are wearing tiny shorts; my eyesight is poor, I can barely see, but with eyes as sharp as yours, it would be a miracle if I didn't get conjunctivitis!
- They could have just sat down for a drink and been done, so why are they sitting here for so long?
"Oh look, a green tea shop has to have peanut candy and cigarettes, a draft beer shop has to have boiled peanuts and dried squid. Even the old shops were like that, let alone the shops today. Young people are foodies, so of course the shop owners have to be quick to understand customer psychology. They sell all sorts of snacks: cheese sticks, mixed rice paper salad, dried beef salad, yogurt, caramel, and a million other colorful, tangled things – only God knows what they are. The important thing is how much you can eat, whether your wallet is full or empty, and what you eat and how much time you spend eating doesn't matter!"
- They are truly brilliant economists, but ma'am, why can't I see any lemon peel in this lemonade?
