第一次來這家店的時候,我點的餐是「醡醬刀削麵」,一切都令人滿意,第二次再去的時候,想改吃點別的,所以點了「肉絲湯餃」。附註說明,他們標示的價位是:一粒水餃4元,一碗十粒份的湯餃是60元。簡單換算一下,就是多了肉絲再加20元就是了。
事情其實很簡單,是吧?……我一開始也是這麼以為的。
當店小妹把我的「肉絲湯餃」端來的時候,我差一點沒把隱形眼鏡給瞪到碗裡頭去。
那碗「肉絲湯餃」竟然只是……泡在開水裡的十粒水餃。是的,你沒看錯我也沒寫 錯,就是絕對不添加任何雜質、清澈見底的一碗熱開水,裡面漂浮著十顆水餃。

Large wind farms might also interfere with the flight patterns of migratory birds in certain areas, and they have killed large birds of prey (especially hawks, falcons, and eagles) that prefer to hunt along the same ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbines.
The killing of birds of prey by wind turbines has pitted environmentalists who champion wildlife protection against environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy.
