Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

The door of the private room closed gently, and the hot pot on the table was steaming, making gurgling sounds.

Shu Changyu looked through the mist and fell on Song Yan.

Song Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise later."

"Let's eat the pot first." He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it into the boiling pot.

The beef tumbled in the pot and changed color in a short while.

He quickly fished it out, dipped it in sauce, and put it in the bowl in front of Shu Changyu.

"Try this beef hotpot and see how it tastes." Song Yan looked at him expectantly.

Shu Changyu picked up the chopsticks, tasted it, and then said lightly: "It's okay."

Then, Song Yan scooped a spoonful of the clear soup and took a sip.

This soup is made from beef bones, it is rich and mellow, and full of flavor.

He picked up a few slices of beef again, lightly rinsed them in the pot, dipped them in a little sauce, and tasted them carefully.

As he took a bite of the beef, he immediately tasted the fermented tofu added to the seasoning; the salty and fresh flavor made the beef even more tender and smooth.

Then he poured the white radish and tofu skewers on the table into the pot.

The ingredients slowly absorbed the rich soup, the white radish became soft and juicy, and the tofu skewers became fuller.

Song Yan carefully picked up a bunch of tofu and put it in Shu Changyu's bowl, reminding him, "Be careful, it's hot."

Just then, Tie Niu knocked on the door and came in, holding a bunch of bright plum blossoms in his hand and handed them to Song Yan.

"Mr. Song, this is the plum blossom you wanted."

"Thank you for your help." Song Yan quickly took the plum blossom and thanked Tie Niu.

Tie Niu replied respectfully: "Mr. Song, you are too polite. It is my honor to serve you."

He bent slightly, a courteous smile appeared on his face, then he slowly left the private room and closed the door.

Song Yan handed the plum blossom to Shu Changyu: "This is for you."

Shu Changyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"

"Hehe." Song Yan laughed twice, "I just saw a peddler passing by carrying plum blossoms, so I thought of buying some for you."

In this spring season when it is still cold, other flowers have not yet bloomed, only the plum blossoms are in full bloom.

Shu Changyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his beautiful eyebrows drooped as he looked at the plum blossoms placed in front of him.

There are still a few drops of crystal dew hanging on the petals, making them look particularly delicate.

He reached out to take it, feeling coolness at his fingertips and the cool fragrance of plum blossoms wafting into his nose.

"It really surprised me." Shu Changyu had a big smile on his face.

Song Yan tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips. He thought to himself, there will be a bigger surprise waiting for you in the evening.

After using the pot, they came out of Xiangfeng Building.

Shu Changyu was still holding the bunch of plum blossoms in his hand, and with his other hand he naturally held Song Yan's hand.

The two strolled hand in hand on the street.

They passed by stalls selling lanterns. There were all kinds of lanterns on display. Some were made in the shape of animals, some were painted with exquisite patterns, and there was also the legendary revolving lantern.

Song Yan stared at it intently.

"Shu Changyu, look, that rabbit lamp is so unique." Song Yan said, pointing to a stall not far away.

Shu Changyu looked in the direction he pointed and saw a lifelike rabbit lantern.

"You like it?"

Song Yan said: "Buy it back for Erya, the little girl will definitely like it."

"Oh." Shu Changyu said in a light tone.

They walked to the end of the street and saw a temporary stage in front of them where a drama troupe was performing.

"Let's go and take a look." Song Yan suggested enthusiastically.

Shu Changyu nodded without comment.

The actors on the stage were wearing heavy costumes and singing melodious operas in their tinny voices. Their humming and humming sounds echoed in the air.

The audience in the audience was attentive and burst into applause and cheers from time to time.

Song Yan pulled Shu Changyu to the front of the crowd, found a place with a wide view, stood still, and watched the show on the stage with interest.

He was not very familiar with opera and was just joining in the fun.

"What is this play about?" Song Yan turned and asked Shu Changyu.

Shu Changyu didn't seem to hear clearly, and turned his head slightly: "What did you say?"

Song Yan moved closer and prepared to repeat his previous question: "I say..."

As he was speaking, Shu Changyu suddenly turned his head, and Song Yan kissed him on the chin.

Song Yan suddenly covered her mouth and quickly glanced at the audience around her. She found that they were all staring at the stage intently, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said angrily, "Shu Changyu, you did this on purpose!"

Shu Changyu suddenly leaned close to his ear and said, "I didn't mean to do that. You were just too close."

Then, he kissed Song Yan's ear: "That's what it means to do it on purpose."

Song Yan suddenly felt the blood rushing to her face, she was so angry.

Shu Changyu finally got serious and explained, "This play is about The Butterfly Lovers."

He looked ambiguous: "Do you know The Butterfly Lovers?"

Song Yan said casually: "I know, it's the story of Zhu Yingtai who disguised herself as a man to study in the academy. Later, she and Liang Shanbo fell in love, but because of secular concepts, the two ended up in tragedy."

Shu Changyu glanced at him and said: "In my opinion, Liang Shanbo must be blind. He can't even tell that Zhu Yingtai is a girl."

Song Yan was puzzled by his look. You said Liang Shanbo is fine, but why are you looking at me?

"It's not so bad. After all, he couldn't imagine that a girl would sneak into the academy disguised as a man."

"What about you?" Shu Changyu asked him, "If a girl pretends to be a man and calls you a brother, can you recognize her?"

Song Yan patted his chest and said, "It's not difficult. If the girl disguises herself as a man, I can see through her with my sharp eyes."

Shu Changyu smiled slightly and said no more.

After watching the opera, they wandered aimlessly on the streets.

Seeing a stall making sugar figures on the road, Song Yan asked the old man to make a pair of sugar figures based on their appearance.

The old man smiled and nodded. He looked at the faces of Song Yan and Shu Changyu carefully, and then started to work.

His fingers flexibly pinched, kneaded, pulled and cut the sugar ball. In a moment, two small and exquisite sugar figures appeared in front of them.

One sugar figure captures Song Yan's bright smile, while the other depicts Shu Changyu's delicate features.

"Wow, it's so similar!" Song Yan took the sugar man and couldn't help but exclaimed.

The two sugar figures were so beautiful that he couldn't bear to eat them, so he kept them as a souvenir.

There are a wide variety of snack stalls, lantern stalls, and handicrafts on both sides of the street, which are dazzling.

They walked and stopped, ate and strolled, and before they knew it, the sun had set and the dusk was getting darker.
