I trade in both worlds

After handing the carriage to the waiter, he continued writing: "Xiaoqing, the dishes at Yunhelou are among the best in the capital. Especially their steamed pork with rice flour, crab stuffed with orange and sea bream with fake clams, which are definitely the signature dishes among the signature dishes."

Xu Ziqing had heard of crab stuffed with orange, but had never seen it, let alone tasted it. It was the first time she had heard of croaker, false clam and mountain sea bream.

She asked curiously, "Sister Li, what are these bream fake clams and mountain sea bream?"

Li Wan'er patiently explained: "The dish is made with croaker meat as the main ingredient, accompanied by various seasonings and auxiliary ingredients. It tastes fresh, tender and smooth, and has an excellent taste."

"Shanhaidou is a delicacy that combines the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. It is said that it is named so because it contains ingredients such as mushrooms from the mountains and shrimps from the sea, implying that all the delicacies between the mountains and the sea can be found here."

Xu Ziqing's mouth was watering after hearing this: "I have never eaten these before. I must try them later."

Following Li Wan'er, he walked into the restaurant. A warm current mixed with the aroma of wine and food rushed towards him, making Xu Ziqing take a deep breath.

The decoration inside the store is simple yet elegant, with wooden tables and chairs and a few ink paintings hanging on the walls, adding a touch of cultural atmosphere.

"Waiter, prepare a seat by the window for us, preferably one with a view of the street view." Li Wan'er said to the waiter.

Upon hearing this, the waiter's face was filled with a warm smile, and he quickly took the two of them to a seat on the second floor with a wide view.

"My dear guests, what would you like to order? Our steamed pork with rice flour, crab stuffed with orange, and sea bream with fake clams are our signature dishes. I guarantee you will be satisfied." The waiter asked smartly.

Li Wan'er smiled generously and said, "Then bring all your signature dishes so that my little sister can have a good taste. Also, I heard that your Shanhaidou is quite famous, let's have a taste of that as well. Also, bring a pot of the best Longjing tea to help relieve the greasiness."

The waiter responded and soon, delicious dishes were served one after another, with a fragrant aroma.

The first dish served was steamed pork with rice flour. The fat and lean slices of meat were steamed until they were soft and tasty, and sprinkled with a layer of fine chopped green onions, which looked attractive in color.

The first dish served was steamed pork with rice flour. The meat was steamed until it was tender and tasty, fat but not greasy, and had a fragrant aroma.

Xu Ziqing picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He felt that the texture was delicate and the taste was delicious. He couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "This steamed pork with rice flour is really worthy of its reputation. It is fat but not greasy and melts in your mouth."

Next is crab stuffed with orange. This dish perfectly combines crab meat with the sweetness of orange, with a unique taste that is unforgettable.

Xu Ziqing took a bite and found the crab meat tender and smooth, while the orange was sweet and delicious. The two complemented each other and made people unable to stop.

"This crab stuffed with orange is so delicious!" Xu Ziqing couldn't help but say to Li Wan'er, "I've only heard of this dish before, but never tasted it. Today I'm in for a real treat!"

Li Wan'er smiled and nodded: "Yes, this dish is one of Yunhelou's signature dishes. Try this dish of sea bream and fake clams, it also has a unique taste."

Hearing this, Xu Ziqing curiously picked up a piece of croaker and put it into his mouth. He felt that the fish meat was fresh and tender, the soup was rich and delicious, and there was a faint aroma of clams.

She couldn't help but eat several mouthfuls and praised: "This croaker is so delicious! The fish meat is tender and the soup is rich. I can't stop eating it."

The last one is Shanhaidou, which is a dish that combines the essence of delicacies from mountains and seas and tastes extremely delicious.

Xu Ziqing took a bite and found the taste rich and varied. It had both the freshness of mountain delicacies and the mellowness of seafood, which made people have an endless aftertaste.

"This Shanhaidou really lives up to its reputation!" Xu Ziqing exclaimed.

After dinner, the two decided to go deeper into Fanhua Lane to experience more of the city's fireworks. Fanhua Lane, as one of the most lively streets in Beijing, gathers a variety of shops and stalls, which is dazzling.

The two walked side by side, weaving through the bustling crowd, and were attracted by various novel stalls from time to time.

There were colorful glass bottles, peculiarly shaped spice boxes, and a few items that were obviously imported from foreign countries, attracting people around to stop and watch.

"Hey, those bags are so unique!" Xu Ziqing said in surprise, pointing at a few small bags hanging on the shelves beside the stall.

Those bags come in various styles, some are embroidered with exquisite patterns, while others are made of leather, simple yet fashionable.

Seeing this, Li Wan'er smiled softly and said, "If you want to buy these, you can go to the Embroidery Pavilion. There are many patterns and new styles there."

Xu Ziqing nodded, casually glanced at the bag in her hand, and left the stall.

As he walked, Xu Ziqing was attracted by a lacquerware shop with simple decoration. Although the shop is not big, it has a low-key and restrained luxury.

Hanging on the door lintel is an exquisitely carved wooden plaque with the four characters "Ancient Lacquer Art" inscribed on it. The handwriting is timeless and fluent, revealing a light and elegant scholarly air.

Xu Ziqing took Li Wan'er's hand and said excitedly, "Sister Li, that's a lacquerware shop, right? Let's go in and take a look."

Li Wan'er nodded, and the two of them stepped into the store together. A faint, unique scent of lacquer wafted into the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The store displays a wide variety of lacquerware, from tableware to decorative items, each of which is exquisite and amazing.

Xu Ziqing looked around curiously, and was deeply attracted by a red carved osmanthus pattern box.

The box was rosy and translucent, and the osmanthus pattern on it was lifelike, as if you could smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus.

She picked up the box and looked at it carefully: "This box is so beautiful, I want to buy it."

Li Wan'er walked up to her and smiled softly, "This red carved osmanthus pattern box is indeed beautiful. If you like it, buy it."

Xu Ziqing nodded, and then selected a red lacquered chrysanthemum-petal-shaped lidded box, a rhinoceros-carved rectangular yellow-ground mirror box, and a vermilion lacquered box with gold-inlaid lotus-petal-shaped floral patterns. She loved each piece of lacquerware.

While selecting lacquerware, Xu Ziqing accidentally saw the workshop inside through the small door of the lacquerware shop. He saw the craftsmen concentrating on making lacquerware, their techniques were skilled and precise, and every stroke was just right.

Xu Ziqing was deeply attracted. She couldn't help but said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, can I see how they make lacquerware?"

The shopkeeper looked up at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Our workshop is generally not open to the public. However, if you really want to see it, you can stand outside the door and look, but you cannot enter."

Xu Ziqing nodded to show his understanding.

She stood outside the door, quietly watching the craftsmen making lacquerware.
