I trade in both worlds

At seven o'clock in the morning, a spacious minibus stopped at the door of the villa on time.

Li Hao stood by the door with a smile, warmly inviting everyone to get on the bus. The children ran in front excitedly, and the adults followed closely behind with their backpacks on their backs.

"Good morning everyone. Did you have a good rest last night?" Li Hao greeted with a smile. His voice was warm and powerful, instantly bringing him closer to everyone.

"Okay~" the twins Xu Jin, Xu Zhun and Xu Qiwei couldn't wait to answer.

Although Xu Tiantian could not express herself completely yet, she also responded with her older brothers and sisters, babbling, with an excited smile on her little face.

"That's good. Now, I'll take you to eat delicious food. Are you looking forward to it?" Li Hao made the children cheer.

"We're looking forward to it. We're really looking forward to it." The children answered in unison, with anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

Xu Xu and Li Hao looked at the children with a smile: "It seems that everyone can't wait."

"Yes, Director Li, we have been looking forward to this for a long time." Xu Ziqing said with a smile, holding Lin Feng's hand.

Lin Feng nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Xu Ziqi patted Shao Yuanyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have to eat more later to replenish your energy. After all, you have to walk a lot today."

Shao Yuanyuan responded with a smile: "Okay."

Amid laughter and joy, the group got on the bus one by one. The children excitedly ran in front and grabbed the seats by the window, while the adults followed closely behind with their backpacks on their backs.

The car was spacious and comfortable, with soft seats. Everyone found their own seat and settled in. The car started slowly and drove along the streets of Haishi.

The scenery outside the window unfolds like a scroll painting, with tall buildings, bustling streets, and hurrying pedestrians forming a vivid urban scene.

The children leaned against the car windows, looking at the world curiously and exclaiming from time to time.

"Sister, look at that building, it's so tall!" Xu Jin said, pointing to a skyscraper outside the window.

"That's the central building of Hai City, one of the tallest buildings in our country." Xu Ziqing, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and explained patiently.

Xu Zhun stared at the building intently and exclaimed, "Wow, it's amazing."

Soon, the bus stopped in front of a quaint breakfast shop.

After getting off the bus, a rich aroma hit my nose. It was the unique taste of Haishi’s special breakfast such as fried dough sticks, soy milk, and xiaolongbao, which made me salivate.

"Wow, it smells so good." Xiao Jin and Xiao Zhun held Xu Xu's hands and stared at the delicious food in the store.

Xu Qiwei pointed to a basket of steaming dumplings not far away and said excitedly, "Mom, I want to eat that."

Although Xu Tiantian couldn't express herself yet, her little hand pointed in the direction of the steamed buns and she kept saying "eat, eat, eat".

Li Hao smiled and led everyone into the store and found a seat by the window.

The waiter in the store enthusiastically brought the menu, and Li Hao thoughtfully recommended several must-try dishes for everyone.

"The Xiaolongbao here is the signature dish, with thin skin, large fillings and delicious soup. You must try it. There are also Shengjianbao, which is crispy on the bottom and soft on the top, and is also a favorite of the locals in Haishi."

“There are also golden and crispy rice cakes. Of course, fried dough sticks with soy milk is also a classic combination that cannot be missed.” Li Hao introduced it in detail with pride on his face.

Xu Ziqi nodded and said with a smile: "Director Li, the seafood restaurant you recommended last night is good. Let's order according to your recommendation."

Others also expressed their agreement and were full of expectations for Li Hao's recommendation.

Breakfast was served quickly, and everyone was eager to try the steaming and fragrant dumplings in front of them.

"Everyone, eating xiaolongbao is a technical job. Let me teach you a few tricks. First, we have to lift the xiaolongbao gently. Be careful and be steady. Don't let the skin break, otherwise the soup inside will slip away."

Li Hao demonstrated as he spoke, lightly picking up a steamed dumpling with chopsticks and placing it steadily on his plate.

"Next, we need to find a small opening and bite it gently. Remember, you must take small bites because the soup inside is very hot. Biting directly with a large mouthful can easily burn your mouth."

As Li Hao spoke, he gently bit open a corner of the dumpling. Immediately, a rich aroma of soup wafted into his nose.

"Look, this is the essence of Xiaolongbao - the delicious soup. We have to sip it slowly and savor the deliciousness of the soup." Li Hao said while sucking the soup.

"After absorbing the soup, we can taste the buns bite by bite. The thin skin and large fillings make it delicious. It is definitely a great breakfast treat."

After Li Hao finished speaking, he ate the remaining dumplings bite by bite.

Watching Li Hao's demonstration, everyone couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and carefully pick up a steamed bun.

Gently bite a small hole, suck the soup inside, and then swallow the whole bun in one gulp, with an expression of satisfaction that is beyond words.

The pan-fried buns that followed had a golden and crispy outer skin and juicy meat inside.

Xu Qiwei took a bite and his eyes lit up instantly. He kept chewing with his little mouth, as if he had discovered a new world: "This bun is so delicious, uncle, uncle, you guys should try it."

Upon hearing this, the twins immediately reached out for the steamed buns. They took a bite carefully and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

Xu Jin widened his eyes and said, "Wow, it's really delicious. The meat inside is so fresh."

Xu Zhun nodded in agreement: "Yes, the skin is also very crispy, I like it very much."

While Xu Xu was feeding Xu Tiantian small pieces of rice cake, he was keeping an eye on the other children.

Fortunately, the breakfast portions here are small, otherwise the children would definitely be full.

Xu Ziqing took a bite, and the perfect combination of softness and crispness made her exclaim in admiration: "This rice cake is really delicious."

After saying that, he handed the rice cake in his hand to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took a small bite, nodded and said, "This soy milk is also very mellow, and it is a perfect match with fried dough sticks. Do you want to try it?"

"Okay." After saying that, he took a sip of soy milk from Lin Feng's hand.

Xu Ziqi couldn't stand it anymore, he looked at the two of them and said, "Can you stop being so greasy so early in the morning? It really affects my appetite."

Xu Ziqing turned sideways to avoid his gaze. Lin Feng shrugged and suggested, "You can also go with your sister-in-law."

Shao Yuanyuan quickly shook her head: "I'm used to keeping a low profile. You guys are too greasy, and I can't stand it."

"Look." Xu Ziqi put his arm around Shao Yuanyuan's shoulders and said with a smile, "Our situation is normal, neither cloying nor cold."

The atmosphere at the table was warm and joyful. Everyone ate and chatted, and after eating, they headed towards the Castle Park.
