02:27I'm hungry, so let's look for a food trip.
02:30Okay?
02:31From afar, my eyes are clear.
02:33I can see the fried soup.

02:55It's not alive.
02:57Here.
02:58This one.
03:00Fear of the snake.
03:01You might wonder if it's alive.
03:04Fear of the snake.
03:05You might wonder if it's alive.
03:07For how much is this?

03:20Long life.
03:21Get rid of sickness.
03:22Lots of money.
03:23Good luck.
03:24Negative results.
03:25Like that.
03:29But we're not done yet.
03:31Let's wander around for tips and lucky items for good luck.
03:39From our Kunsuy expert, Johnson Chua.
03:472025 is the year of the snake.
03:50If you notice, there are snakes here.
03:53It represents creativity and fire energy.
03:58We also have crystals here.
03:59Yes.
04:00It's like that.
04:01Yes.
04:02Because when you say the fire energy of the snake,
04:05the crystals become the balancer.
04:07Yes.
04:08They're good for calming, for peace of mind, and for good health.
04:11We heard that there are colors like purple or violet.
04:17Yes.
04:18And then there's another color which is...
04:21The brown one.
04:22The brown of mocha.
04:23Yes.
04:24What is the color of the year 2025?
04:30Netizens, do you believe in lucky color?
04:35According to the Kunsuy expert,
04:38the color of the year is purple or violet.
04:44While the mocha mousse, the color of the year,
04:50is more connected to the color of fashion.
04:53What is the lucky charm that we can share with the public
04:59that is affordable?
05:01Number one is the cat.
05:03Yes.
05:04Because we know that the cat is a symbol.
05:06We can see cats like this.
05:08Yes.
05:09This is the cat, right?
05:11Yes.
05:12It's waving.
05:13There.
05:14Normally, why does it wave?
05:16It means come.
05:17Come.
05:18If you notice, most of the retail stores have this.
05:20It's like, come, come, come.
05:21It's like welcoming.
05:22It's common in our practice to put a Buddha
05:24because it means we welcome happy customers.
05:27And if we make the customer happy,
05:29of course, they will come back.
05:30This Prosperity Basket is the ritual every Chinese New Year.
05:34Although, every year, this is replaced because it depends on the year.
05:37The inside of the Prosperity Basket, when we open it,
05:40that's what's inside.
05:41It has rice and it has lucky charms.
05:44Chinese New Year.
05:45Yes.
05:46For me, it's the Year of the Dog.
05:49Will I be lucky this year, 2025?
05:53In terms of opportunity,
05:55there are a lot of good opportunities for the Year of the Dog.
05:58So, we can expect maybe more projects for you.
06:02Next.
06:03Hey, Mommy Sue.
06:04So that you won't cry,
06:05cry there.
06:06Of course, this one.
06:08The color red.
06:09I will give it to you, right?
06:11This is for you to eat more.
06:16How did this become a snack?
06:17Is this from Envoy?
06:19This is not a snack.
06:20Oh, no.
06:21I wish I was lucky.
06:25Hey!
