Staying at home is not just a way of life, but a state of mind! Feng shui, which involves observing celestial phenomena, examining the earth, and considering human relationships, allows one to grasp the profound principles of the changes in heaven and earth and predict fortune and misfortune.

"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~
