After sharpening the scythe for so long, they can finally complete the harvest during the holidays

Hi, I'm chubby.

Yesterday's article, gone again.

Chubby recently for this number, for the sake of insurance, for the time being, will not update articles like yesterday's for the time being.

Let's talk about something lighter.

During the long holiday, many ordinary workers and social animals are counting on the release of this 7-day holiday for the depression, dissatisfaction, hard work, and sadness they have saved for a year!

Chubby looked at the circle of friends, all kinds of traffic, traffic jams, people lined up one by one to go to the "special forces" type of tourism, right?

The phenomenon of ripping off customers during the holidays

Then last night, a reader friend complained to me, saying that he went to travel to a small island in my hometown, and three people ordered four side dishes, ordinary small seafood, and it cost 1,500 yuan, and I felt that he was slaughtered!

Have you noticed that during the holidays, businesses and tourists think differently at all?

Merchants only think about how to make money these days to harvest a wave, and it is all too common for a reader friend to be slaughtered.

Chubby also has friends who work on this island, selling dried seafood, once when he went home, he complained to me, every time before the holiday, their store will enter a bunch of cheap seafood from other places in advance, and when they arrive on the island, they become the so-called "local specialty".

Actually, it's the same as what you buy somewhere else, but the price has increased several times.

Then I think what tourists are thinking, thinking about spending money to have fun, and the result is actually a kind of wealth flow and transfer - from their own pockets to the pockets of merchants.

You see, as soon as the holiday comes, the price of air tickets has skyrocketed, and the scenic spot is full of people, and you don't know whether to see the scenery or the people.

It's the same with restaurants, the queues are long, they are overcrowded, and you have to wait for half a day to have a meal. Traveling by car? The highway is jammed like a parking lot, and the road that usually takes half an hour is now unable to move for three or four hours!

So holiday travel, on the surface, is relaxing, but in fact, is it a collective "carnival" of consumption traps?

Was it voluntarily harvested or a helpless move?

That person has a personal willingness to spend, and Chubby is just talking about Chubby's opinion.

For Chubby, there is actually no other idea of traveling, mainly to taste something delicious, after all, I am a foodie, a big fat man!

But Chubby also doesn't like those overly commercial scenic spots, prefers those non-tourist area shops and time-honored stores, looking for the most authentic taste, this is the purpose of my travel.

To be honest, eating is definitely the first place!

Secondly, Chubby feels that travel must find a place with fewer people.

If you want to see the scenery, the premise is that there are fewer people, otherwise the eyes are full of human heads, where is the scenery and pleasure?

And at the end of the day, it's hard to say whether this trip is enjoyable or not, but the wallet is definitely going to shrink.

Then some people will ask, saying that ordinary people are harvested by merchants during the holidays, are they actively harvested or helpless?

Chubby feels that he is really helpless!

The current life pattern of migrant workers is almost like this:

You spend 996, 90% of the time desperately making money, and the remaining 10% of the vacation time will spend all the money you earn or spend a large part of it with a wave of your hand, and it is difficult at all, and you can't save anything.

Are you helpless or not?

There are few work holidays, and I can't take care of my life at all, and I am on call at any time, and I am as tired as a spinning top.

Chubby has done this kind of work before, and wants to take two days off?

Don't think about it, I will work overtime and call you back to your workstation, and there is no respite at all.

Can you not get tired at this pace?

After being suppressed for a long time, I have to find an outlet, and my emotions have to be vented, otherwise I will really go crazy.

At this time, merchants and capitalists have been waiting for a long time, ready to "harvest" our emotions and wallets.

To put it bluntly, they also waited for a year, and they pointed to the holiday and knocked us hard.

In fact, in recent years, the self-media has been imperceptibly "brainwashing" everyone, especially for ordinary social animals, the brainwashing of consumerism is like a steel seal: telling you that "spending money equals happiness".

As a result, many people do not hesitate to run from a place where they are tired to another place where others are tired to complete the so-called "vacation".

Isn't this an absurd cycle?

I saw several people taking videos saying that they were going on vacation, but they flew from one place to another, and after arriving at the tourist attractions, they didn't go out to play, just lying in the hotel and eating one meal a day.

To be honest, I wondered in my heart: What's the point of your vacation? Isn't it just a different place to sleep? But this money is not less.

If you look at it, many people actually go hiking, hiking, biking, or simply basking in the sun.

These pleasures don't actually cost a lot of money, and some people have always felt that happiness can only be bought by spending money, as if spending money equals happiness.

This kind of "trip", the money is not spent, is your body really relaxed? Is the spirit really happy?

Don't you feel tired and tossed, like spending money to buy sin?

Of course, everyone's vacation is different, and Chubby is just taking the opportunity of the holiday to rub off on the heat and talk about this issue.

In Chubby's subjective opinion, travel does not have to follow the trend to go to crowded places.

Alternatively, you can travel during the off-season, when there are fewer people and you can really enjoy the fun of traveling.

For example, there is a very popular small island in Chubby's hometown, which has made a lot of movies and become a lot of Internet celebrity check-in points, but I, a local, have never been there except for occasional passing.

You are like Chubby sometimes going back to my hometown, and I will sometimes take a ferry with my friends to those unpopular and unknown islands in my hometown, where the beautiful scenery is untouched, there is no strong commercial atmosphere, and there is a special natural feeling.

You said that everyone gathers to go to popular attractions, and there are many people, how can there be any sense of experience?

So, in fact, vacation does not have to be tossed anywhere, the core of rest is to sleep well, eat well, and find inner peace and relaxation.

It really doesn't matter if you spend money or not, it's important to let your body and mind get real rest, right?

So why do I say that the holidays are a feast of wealth transfer?

Just like the merchants mentioned earlier, they have been sharpening their knives as early as a month or two ago and are ready.

Their business model is "don't open for half a year, open for half a year." ”

Merchants are not actually looking forward to tourists, they see not smiling faces, but bright red banknotes.

This cauldron of the holiday has long been prepared, just waiting for you to drill into it.

You will find that all the holiday economy, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, transportation, traveling, and buying gifts are all high-priced, covering all aspects of your life.

As long as it is a place where you can spend money, the merchant will arrange it for you clearly.

In fact, the people also know in their hearts that going out during the holidays is spending money, and it is spending money at a high premium.

Pork belly soup that usually costs dozens of yuan, when you go to a certain scenic spot, you dare to sell it for four or five hundred.

But human nature is like this, we always like to follow the trend, especially during the holidays.

When you see other people's families going out for a drive, do you feel that you can't go out for a trip, otherwise you can't compare to others?

If everyone else goes to a popular attraction, but you don't even go out of the province, do you feel a little "out of the face"?

So the herd mentality is particularly evident during the holidays, when everyone rushes out the door.

The fat fat felt that "the sky is high and the sea is wide and I can do it" is really freedom.

Like before, Chubby went on a business trip, rarely went to any Internet celebrity attractions, and did not do cumbersome strategies, and went wherever there was delicious food.

Everyone's preferences are different, and what you like is not necessarily of interest to me, and vice versa.

Traveling, in essence, is to relax and relieve stress, rather than exhausting yourself and emptying your wallet.

So I prefer a casual and free vacation that doesn't have to follow the trend and doesn't have as much financial pressure.

The crazy hype of the self-media in recent years

Speaking of self-media, in the past few years, they have to hype up a new attraction every year, either recommending a barbecue in a certain place or an ice exhibition in a certain place.

Through this kind of momentum, the self-media puts pressure on you in disguise and turns your vacation into another "work task".

You have to go out quickly, spend money, what kind of hotel to stay in, what kind of food to eat, the online guide is clearly arranged.

That fat will feel that such a holiday, it has become another form of "working day", you work as a worker, either work is arranged by the company's leaders, or the house price is "controlled" by the merchant's self-media.

Have you noticed that many people spend their entire lives in such a cycle, exhausted?

It's tiring enough to work 9 hours a day, but even the holidays have become a more tiring "task", and there is no real relaxation.

I am tired from work, I am tired from vacation, and the only winners behind it are businesses.

They want you to come out and breathe so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to earn you.

Write at the end

Sometimes Chubby feels that going out to travel and spend money is indeed to enjoy life, but there is no need to make it too deliberate.

For example, if everyone is rushing to the crowded hot spot, do you still go with you?

In fact, you can choose some places with fewer people and be relaxed, after all, "the heart is far away", right?

The scenery is good, the mood is good, the money is spent less, and the peace and comfort are not the true meaning of vacation?

There is no need to follow any "task" for the sake of comparison.

Your colleague goes to an island, so you have to go somewhere more exclusive than him?

It's a little tiring to live like this.

We really don't need to compete with others in our lives, especially during holidays, and there is no need to be a "big wrongdoer".

Inner pleasure and relaxation are the most important things, and it is your own holiday that you enjoy, not the "glamorous" in the eyes of others.

If you make money, you don't need to let the world know how "chic" you are, this kind of life will only make people more and more tired in the end, but lose the meaning of travel.

So where to travel is everyone's freedom, Fat Fat can't write other articles, just share some of his feelings.

The most important thing is to be happy and relaxed, isn't the purpose of travel to relax?

Right.
