When you're in a bad mood, go wander around a wet market; the bustling everyday life is very healing.

Here, you can see vegetables glistening with dew, all kinds of live, hopping seafood,

all sorts of colorful fruits, bustling crowds and rising and falling cries of vendors...

The wet market is simply a place full of the joys of everyday life.

In the day-after-day monotonous routine, it holds an exuberant vitality beyond words.

In the early morning, stepping into the wet market amid the bustling noise, at a glance all you see are people searching for ingredients.

As you step in with the surging crowd, your mood will slowly calm down.

Find a breakfast stall by the roadside wreathed in steam, sit down at a small table,

drink a bowl of fragrant doufunao (savory tofu pudding), or order a bowl of piping-hot Chongqing xiaomian (spicy small noodles),

and fill your belly to the accompaniment of rising and falling haggling.

Once your belly is full, it's time to go pick out the melons, fruits and vegetables you like!

All kinds of dew-covered vegetables lie quietly on the stalls,

purple eggplants, tender green beans, round plump onions,

and even potatoes and taro still covered in fresh soil...

Colorful fruits, basket after basket, crate after crate...

Golden-yellow lemons, tender peaches and plums,

and clusters of crystal-clear grapes, picked early in the morning and delivered right to you.

Friends who love seafood shouldn't miss out either, and should make sure to go early.

Because the earlier you come, the fresher the seafood.

Big crabs waving their claws, little river shrimp jumping around alive,

and all kinds of big and small fish blowing bubbles,

in the seafood section, you can even feel the sea breeze rushing at your face,

as if it still carries a damp, misty scent.

At the wet market, perhaps you'll run into a neighbor you haven't seen in a long time,

chat about everyday matters and share shopping tips with each other; no longer cold strangers with doors shut between you,

the distance between you suddenly closes;

at the wet market, you may meet a warm, kind-hearted vendor,

who greets you like an old friend and recommends all kinds of fresh ingredients for you.

If you forgot to bring money, it's no big deal; you can pay next time, and they absolutely won't grab you and refuse to let you go;

at the wet market, you may also meet an elderly auntie,

learn some cooking tips from her and save yourself plenty of detours,

and maybe even learn her special secret skills!

When you're in a bad mood, go take a walk in the wet market!

It doesn't have to be famous mountains and great rivers far away, nor a beautiful lake everyone praises,

perhaps just a tiny wet market right in front of you,

is enough to calm your mood.

At the wet market, you can feel the rich breath of everyday life,

you can feel humanity's passionate love for life,

and of course, you may also change the way you look at life here and relax your mindset.

Life is not just the drudgery right before your eyes, but also the poetry and distant places of the wet market.
