When it's hot, the most feared thing is a power outage. However, Taiwan has repeatedly suffered from blackouts in recent days! Taoyuan has had more than 20 power outages in the past 15 days, causing more than 10,000 households to heat up!
Taiwanese netizens complained: "There is no shortage of electricity every day, but power outages are the daily life of life."
Taipower explained n times: "The power outage is not a lack of electricity", saying that the power outage in Taoyuan was affected by external factors, equipment factors and natural disasters, accounting for 63%, but the people did not buy it.
Some netizens turned out the "old case" in the past: eggs can't afford it, it's comparable to the price of gold!
So, some netizens were surprised: "Don't you raise chickens in Taiwan, when did the usual eggs become a luxury?" Is it also caused by external factors? ”
In fact, it is not that Taiwan can't afford to eat eggs, but because Taiwanese people love eggs, and the consumption power of eggs is huge. In 2023, Taiwan will suffer from severe avian influenza, and the number of chickens in chicken farms will drop sharply, and egg production will decline sharply.
Taiwan had no choice but to rush to buy eggs for the province to eat. However, Taiwan does not buy from the mainland and goes to foreign countries to import eggs.
At that time, the mainland's egg production in 2022 was 32 million tons, accounting for nearly 40% of the world's total. Moreover, the eggs in the mainland are of excellent quality and the price is not expensive.
However, Taiwan's Council of Agriculture bought 5 million eggs from Australia, and the value of each egg skyrocketed to NT$32 (RMB 7.18) when it was transported by plane.
This is not counting the final price of shipping and other costs after entering the market supermarket, and ordinary eggs are forced to become "golden eggs".
Later, the Taiwanese still didn't have enough to eat, so they bought a total of 140 million eggs from the United States, Japan, the Philippines, and Malaysia! The result of this abandonment of the near and far has led to the soaring price of eggs in Taiwan, and the people are full of complaints.
And the most ironic is still to come, Taiwan's eggs airlifted from Australia, in fact, many are imported by Australia from the mainland, Taiwan's Council of Agriculture clearly knows this situation!
Why is Taiwan engaged in this commotion of sacrificing the near and far? It turned out that it was because of Taiwan's trade barrier policy against the mainland: to put it simply, Taiwan has deliberately banned mainland goods from entering over the years, and more than 2,509 items have been explicitly banned.
In this way, Taiwanese eggs are as expensive as gold, everyone understands, right?
Due to the high price of eggs in Taiwan, and a senior media person said: The mainland cannot afford to eat eggs, and even Taiwan's political program said: "China (mainland) has no protein, and it is so lacking that it wants to eat voles!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the Taiwanese mistakenly thought that the mainland was extremely backward, so backward that they could not afford to eat tea and eggs, and there was no protein; The mainland can't even afford to eat instant noodles ➕ and mustard.
As a result, a person who upholds justice stood up and spoke: "I have lived in the mainland for four years, and it is not at all what you imagined. So some people were not convinced, and they had to come to the mainland to find out.
As a result, after the Taiwanese arrived on the mainland, they found that it was completely different from what they imagined: the mainlanders were too arrogant, eating 8 eggs for breakfast, and they were tired of eating tea eggs for a long time, and the mustard was only occasionally eaten when adjusting the taste.
The eggs on the mainland are even more dazzling, with a variety of varieties: in addition to eggs, there are also selenium-rich eggs, cordyceps eggs, quail eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and even ostrich eggs. It was an eye-opener to see the Taiwanese people.
Not only are there many varieties on the mainland, but the prices are surprisingly cheap. 30 yuan to buy a large bag of eggs; A tea egg is only sold for 1.5 yuan.
A Taiwanese netizen bought 3 large boxes of eggs and egg derivatives at once: braised eggs, preserved eggs, pickled eggs, etc., and jumped up with joy, almost not crispy the eggs in his hand!
In addition to the stalk of tea eggs, Taiwan saw the hot scene of our barbecue in Zibo last year, and someone came out with a moth: "Mainlanders have no money to go to Zibo to eat barbecue in order to save money." ”
As a result, netizens replied: "For a barbecue of 100 yuan, the travel fee may be more than 100!" ”
"Taiwanese people have no concept of geographical distance, thinking that they ride a motorcycle from Tainan to Taipei. Are we eating barbecue? Eat the atmosphere, eat the flow......"
Riding the high-speed train on the vast land of the mainland, Taiwanese bloggers praised the rapid change of the mainland's infrastructure.
They had heard of the mainland's high-speed rail cattle before, but after experiencing it first-hand, they found that the mainland's high-speed rail is not only cattle, which is simply not too cool! The speed is fast, the stability is good, and the two coins are placed next to the window without shaking.
The service facilities of the high-speed rail are also far beyond imagination.
A blogger is comfortably lying on his mobile phone on a high-speed train. He was full of emotion: "The Taiwan authorities told us that the mainland high-speed rail does not even have a backrest, not only does it have, but I didn't expect it to be so comfortable." ”
The mainland friend next to him gave him a blank look: "Look at it, there are few countries in the world that can make 1.4 billion people accessible and convenient, right?" ”
Zhang Huilin, a reporter from Taiwan who often comes to the mainland, said: "After having a residence permit, it is very convenient, and you can enter with a swipe permit in a second. ”
There are also Taiwanese living in Chongqing, who have to let their friends take the light rail to witness the rapid changes in the mainland: "Every year is different. Watch him rise from one building to the other, one after another. The city is alive and vibrant. ”
Then he changed his words: "However, Kaohsiung has not changed in 20 years. ”
When playing on the street, Taiwanese people are very curious when they find that there are shared bicycles and electric vehicles, and they can ride them by swiping the QR code. Just when she felt convenient, a mainland friend drove a shared car to pick her up. She was amazed and petrified instantly!
On the issue of eating, the food in the Northeast has made Taiwanese people almost drop their jaws in the mainland. took his girlfriend to dinner, but this Taiwanese from Beipiao only needed 4 dishes.
I have too few girlfriends, and when I was about to order again, I found that the soup was served in a basin, and the dish was on a plate larger than a basin! My girlfriend was immediately embarrassed! Not to mention four dishes, two are already inexhaustible.
Let's not say anything else, just look at the amount of this dish, which also proves that Chinese have no tea eggs to eat. In addition to eating, the convenience and speed of the mainland have also amazed Taiwanese people.
The mobile phone of a Taiwanese resident has a single function. You can only watch the news, go to Facebook and PTT, and then there are no other features. And the mobile phones of mainlanders are almost omnipotent in other aspects except ML, eating and WC.
People on the mainland rarely carry cash anymore, and the profession of thieves has gradually faded out of the stage of history. Call a taxi on your mobile phone, pay on your mobile phone, and arrive in one second.
Taiwanese people, on the other hand, have to run to the bank, get a number, queue up, transfer money, or transfer money at an ATM. Banks on the mainland now rarely queue up, because business other than cash is done with mobile phones.
In life, mobile phones are even more convenient for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and meals, appointments, meal orders, and ticket reservations can be done almost without leaving home.
Mobile phones in mainland China can remotely control TVs, and even far away from home, you can control all electrical appliances at home. And Taiwanese can only wait for the program to be broadcast by the TV.
Paying for life and booking tickets is just a matter of fingers. Taiwanese people have to run to the bank or airport with a bunch of cards and cash to go through the procedures, which adds a lot of time costs.
WeChat payment even allows the uncle who sells vegetables and the mobile beggar to swipe the QR code to operate! The Taiwanese are so convinced that they don't want to.
According to a college student who went to study in Taiwan, online shopping in Taiwan broke her. Electronic payment is not popular, there is a threshold for free shipping for e-commerce shopping, and after getting used to Taobao, Taiwan's online shopping is simply garbage.
All in all, there are few people in Taiwan who have been to the mainland who are not as surprised and admired as Grandma Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden. The rumors that some people in Taiwan maliciously slander the mainland will be self-defeating before these advanced changes!
After returning from the mainland, the Taiwanese people are envious, jealous, and hateful, and they lament that after the mainland becomes stronger and more advanced, more and more Taiwanese hope to come to the mainland for tourism and settlement.
One day, the two sides of the strait can realize their dream of reunification. At that time, the difficulty of eating eggs will become a thing of the past, and tea eggs will become a regular breakfast on the table of Taiwanese people.
