Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue slowly walked out of the gate of Guangning County Lord's Mansion with mixed feelings. She sighed softly and boarded a carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

After sitting firmly, Su Yue reached out and lifted a corner of the car window, looking out at the bustling and noisy streets. There were shops on both sides of the street, pedestrians and cars were everywhere, and the bustling scene was in full view. Various shouts, bargaining and laughter intertwined together, forming a unique city symphony.

Seeing all this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel the urge to go for a stroll. She thought, "Since I'm already out, why not take this opportunity to relax?" So, she decided to let the driver go slowly while she enjoyed the scenery along the way.

As the carriage drove, Su Yue saw many interesting things. There were vendors selling snacks, their stalls were filled with all kinds of tempting food, the aroma was fragrant; there were jugglers, their wonderful skills won the audience's applause; there were also a wide variety of goods, from exquisite handicrafts to practical daily necessities.

Su Yue was attracted by these scenes full of vitality and vigor, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She felt the cool breeze on her cheeks and enjoyed this rare relaxing time.

Taozi looked at Su Yue looking outside the car and said, "Miss, take the hand warmer and be careful not to catch a cold."

Su Yue smiled at Taozi and said, "I understand, little housekeeper."

Since Su Yue arrived in this time and space, except for the small town of Baiyun Temple, she has not really visited Kyoto. Now that she has some time, she might as well go shopping.

The most famous place in Luoyang City should be Nanshi. Su Yue asked the driver to take them there. Nanshi is a prosperous and lively place. There are many shops here, people coming and going, and all kinds of goods are dazzling.

There are rows of shops on both sides of the street, with signs hanging high and colorful flags flying. Some sell silk and cloth, some sell jewelry, some sell antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and some sell snacks and delicacies. The vendors' cries are heard one after another, attracting the attention of customers.

In the center of the market is a wide square where people are communicating and trading. Some are bargaining, some are displaying their goods, and some are watching juggling performances. Children are playing and fighting in the crowd, creating a joyful scene.

Nanshi has a unique and antique architectural style. The roofs are decorated with flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, showing the charm of ancient architecture. The streets are paved with stone slabs, which have become smooth and bright after years of polishing.

This is not only a commercial center, but also a place for cultural exchange. Men of letters often gather here to recite poems, paint and exchange skills.

Everything here was new to Su Yue. It was almost noon when Su Yue led Qiu Zhu and Tao Le into Zuixianlou.

The Zuixian Tower is three stories high, magnificent, with a unique architectural style and decorated with gorgeous signs and lanterns.

When you enter a restaurant, the first thing you see is a spacious hall with many tables and chairs. There is usually a stage in the center of the restaurant, where artists may perform songs, dances or acrobatics. Customers sit around, tasting fine wine and delicious food while enjoying the performance.

Here, people can make friends, discuss business, or listen to the stories of people from all walks of life. The noise of the restaurant, the clinking of wine glasses, and the laughter of people are intertwined, forming a picture full of life.

Su Yue really wanted to sit in the hall, but since they were all girls, Su Yue didn't want to cause trouble, so she asked the waiter to lead her to the private room.

The private room was beautifully decorated and had a quiet environment. Su Yue didn't know whether some of the calligraphy and paintings were attributed to me or not. Moreover, these ink paintings were about the artistic conception, and Su Yue didn't know how to appreciate them.

Su Yue looked at the menu, thought for a moment, and ordered some signature dishes. These dishes reflected the characteristics of the cooking methods of this era - mainly boiled and roasted, while stir-fried dishes were relatively rare. In addition, meat foods dominated, which was different from the modern dietary structure.

Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little curious and confused when facing the unfamiliar dishes. She had never seen many of the dishes before, let alone called out their names. However, after tasting them, she found that the taste of these dishes was only average and did not leave a particularly deep impression on her.

In contrast, vegetables like Chinese cabbage, leeks, and bamboo shoots are very familiar to Su Yue. Despite the changes in their names (such as Chinese cabbage being called water shield and leeks becoming spring leeks), they have clearly stood the test of time. There must be something special about these common vegetables that has survived through the long river of history.

Su Yue thought that perhaps it was precisely because of the universality and adaptability of these vegetables that they became regular guests on people's tables. Whether in the past or now, they have won people's love with their simple and unpretentious taste. And those dishes that were eliminated may be because their taste was not outstanding enough or they could not meet the needs of the society at that time.

In this special dining experience, Su Yue not only appreciated the differences in ancient food culture, but also had a deeper reflection on the inheritance and evolution of food. Each dish carries a piece of history and witnesses the development and changes of human civilization.

Some of the spices needed here can only be found in the pharmacy. Although the process is tortuous and difficult, some clues can still be found. Unfortunately, ingredients like peppers are nowhere to be found, which makes Su Yue feel quite uncomfortable. Not only that, Su Yue was also surprised to find an interesting phenomenon: the more you lack something, the stronger your desire for it becomes. In the past life, Su Yue did not feel that she loved peppers so much, but now she misses that unique taste very much.

However, reality is always cruel and ruthless. There is no chili pepper here. Instead, pepper, ginger, mustard, onion, garlic and other ingredients are used to create a spicy taste. Faced with this situation, Su Yue couldn't help but think: If I can find chili peppers, can I take this opportunity to make a fortune? But she is not sure where chili peppers grow in this ancient era.

Su Yue and her friends returned to the mansion after dinner. Su Yue wanted to continue shopping, but the weather was not good. It seemed that it was going to snow. Su Yue did not want to go back to the mansion in the snow, so she had to go back as soon as possible. Sitting in the carriage, Su Yue thought that all this was like an illusion, not real at all. Su Yue sometimes wondered if she was in a dream. As long as she woke up, she might return to her familiar world and her relatives. However, she didn't seem to have many relatives, parents, children, and a cheating husband. In fact, no matter where she was in time and space, she was alone, a lonely person, so it didn't seem to make any difference where she was, but she was more familiar with the previous life, so she missed it, and she was unfamiliar with this time and space, so she couldn't adapt. And she felt that she was separated from this world. No matter whether it was people, objects or anything else, she couldn't arouse any interest, because she had no sense of substitution at all.

Su Yue closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage quietly, her mind drifting. She knew that she had to adapt to this new world, even if she had many questions and anxieties in her heart.

After returning to the mansion, Su Yue decided to plunge into the ocean of books, hoping to find some clues about this era. She believed that knowledge was the key to her integration into this world.

The snow outside the window gradually became heavier. Su Yue held the book in her hands, immersed in the world of words. She looked forward to gradually understanding this strange time and space and finding her own place in the future.
