In his "First Memorial on the Northern Expedition," Zhuge Liang wrote: "I was originally a commoner, farming in Nanyang." Strategists throughout history have all humbly referred to themselves as commoners, embodying the spirit of "retiring to cultivate one's own virtue, and advancing to benefit the world," a spirit passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. By 2000: "Profession" "... Strategist, advisor, strategist?" "Are you kidding me? What era are we living in? Education, special skills!" "I... Was taught by my master. I have no formal education; my specialty is judging people..." "What?" "It's about observing people..." "Get lost! Scammers are trying to scam people all the way here!" "I'm not a fraud! I'm a scientist!" The real lives of ordinary people.

"In the far East, there exists a strange little shop that has repeatedly refused Michelin three-star ratings. The prices are exorbitant; a bowl of fried rice with soup costs 288 RMB, oh, and it includes a side of kimchi, yet even so, long queues form. They don't accept reservations, only walk-ins, and countless people arrive by private jet specifically to queue, though of course, no parking or landing spots are provided. The service is appalling; customers are expected to serve themselves, clear their own dishes, and even wipe the tables! Good heavens, this owner must be insane." —Michelin Guide Foodie group, everyone is welcome to join and chat: 526149614 Dragon Tiger Fight Main Group: Subscribe to all accounts to join! 577415455 Cai Mao appears unpredictably~
