Phoenix City is like a rainbow: The legend of goose eggs. Friends and relatives in Phoenix City know that my husband and I took the "Cheluo Huang" Xe đ? Ho Sung Vietnamese bus to Los Angeles in late August to buy some medicinal stew and a pair of goose eggs, and visit relatives and friends. The most curious thing is about purchasing goose eggs, which has become a strange and interesting topic. As we all know, eggs and duck eggs are available everywhere and are a delicacy for daily meals; quail eggs are rare here, but people from Vietnam know that they are a good ingredient for making steamed buns and cakes; ostrich eggs are also often mentioned; but goose eggs seem to be uncommon. Goose eggs, what are the benefits? It's really vague, and few people pay attention to it. Recently I heard a rumor that goose eggs are a tonic for pregnancy! This important information is widely circulated in Vietnam. There are many messages about pregnant women buying goose eggs on the Vietnamese Internet. When I returned to Vietnam at the beginning of this year, when talking about the issue of pregnant women, my cousin Yuxia once told me that her brother-in-law was pregnant. I heard that eating goose eggs was the best supplement, so I ate two and gave birth to a well-behaved and smart daughter. He also said that pregnant women in Vietnam now know that eating goose eggs is beneficial, and the price has increased to 20,000 Vietnamese yuan per egg, which is seven to eight times more expensive than eggs. It was just a casual chat at the time and I didn't take it to heart. I forgot about it after returning to the United States in June. However, it just so happened that one day last month, the Vietnamese printing factory where brother-in-law Chen Caishun worked had to get off work early due to lack of supply. It was a hot summer day and the temperature was rising. He didn't want to drive back to Qiandele under the strong sunshine, so he came to my house to rest and chat, and he once again mentioned the story of goose eggs to replenish the liver. "I just bought a pair of goose eggs for a Vietnamese colleague in the factory, fifty yuan!" Wow! I was shocked. A dozen eggs were only about one dollar, and a goose egg was twenty-five dollars! So expensive? Eat gold? "Wait a minute, you're shocked. Listen to my story." My brother-in-law explained in detail that the Vietnamese colleagues in the factory unanimously believed that goose eggs are good for pregnant women's fetuses and are of great benefit. They spoke eloquently and conclusively, and even gave examples to illustrate that goose eggs are the best tonic for pregnant women. The message spread from Vietnam, and its accuracy was confirmed. In order to cultivate a smart next generation, they spent a mere fifty yuan without hesitation. My brother-in-law pointed out that in the market near me, I couldn’t even buy one for thirty yuan, so my colleague asked him to buy it at Chandelak Market. oh! It turns out that goose eggs are so valuable, and I am so ignorant. A word of surprise! The throne suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, so he would rather believe it and try to take supplements. Why not go with the flow and take advantage of the opportunity to attack? So, he immediately asked his brother-in-law to buy a pair of goose eggs for his wife to nourish the fetus. After several days of waiting, there was no result, because the two supermarkets in the east area of Greater Phoenix City had no inventory. It was said that the products were rare and expensive, and they did not dare to buy them randomly. If customers need it, they can make a reservation for 30 yuan each! How is this unreasonable? It is tolerable to temporarily raise the price. What is intolerable? Am I just waiting to be slaughtered? No, absolutely, you can go directly to Los Angeles to buy it. Anyway, the Ah Huang Bus operated by Vietnamese is very convenient. It was this factor that prompted me and my wife to go to Los Angeles in person. However, I was a little discouraged at first. After asking several friends, no one knew the important information about goose eggs nourishing the fetus. I didn’t even know where to buy goose eggs. We couldn't find it in the supermarket in person, but instead saw seagull eggs. I asked the clerk if there were any goose eggs? With a blank expression on his face, he looked at me curiously. When I talked about this issue with my old classmate Chen Yanqun, I was ridiculed and ridiculed: "You are so kind! I am really impressed by you! Although I have never heard of the precious nourishment of goose eggs, even if it is true, does your wife really need to take supplements? Your son has a doctorate in mathematics and is a university professor. We are a group of Old classmate, who has a son as capable as your son? It proves that your genetics are very good, and your daughter-in-law is a pharmacist. I believe you will be able to give birth to a smart grandson! You are not satisfied, and you are greedy and want to add icing on the cake!" I laughed and had to argue: "Of course, my sweet grandson was born in the United States. I hope he will have the opportunity to sit on Obama's seat in the future! Haha!" Joking aside, all my old friends are unfamiliar with goose egg supplements, which really makes me a bit puzzled. Vietnamese people spread the word among themselves that goose eggs are a precious supplement. Why do my friends in California know nothing about it? Therefore, I took the trouble to recount it again when I met an old friend for lunch at a restaurant in Rousimi Market. I didn't notice that Wang Lunde, a literary friend here, remembered this information clearly. A few days later, he wrote a simple note about the "Afternoon Party", posted it on the "Bagpipe Poetry Society" website, and spread it. In this way, the legend of the goose egg was popularized. Let's look at the description of the goose egg as follows: "During the dinner, Qi Ruhong asked where to buy goose eggs. This was one of his main tasks in coming to Southern California. I wondered what he wanted for goose eggs. He said: The child who eats goose eggs will be very smart and healthy. The reason is that his daughter-in-law is pregnant with Liujia. During pregnancy, if the mother can supplement the special nutrients in goose eggs, the child will be smart, healthy and have extraordinary IQ after birth. He is a descendant of the Zhou family and is smart. He was smart and worked tirelessly to search everywhere, hoping that he would live up to his mission and find the goose egg he needed. Fortunately, I finally found the goose egg. It was with the help of my old friend Xu Mianzhang. It turned out that he went home to tell the story, ah! Fortunately, his aunt knew that there was an egg shop that sold goose eggs. The price was NT$21 per egg. Thank God, it was indeed great news. There were no places to find them in several markets. It took no effort to get them. The trip was finally worth it. Without hesitation, I immediately asked her to buy a pair on my behalf. I happily and carefully brought the goose eggs back to Phoenix City.
