Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1670

Lin Yifei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, every city has its own unique charm. Chengdu's leisurely and hot, Guilin's picturesque landscape, Qingdao's seaside style, all make me unforgettable."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "We have also experienced so many interesting things together, such as the beautiful scenery while boating on the Li River, the joy of tasting delicious food in Jinli Ancient Street, and the charm of international architecture in Badaguan. These will become the most precious memories in our lives."

They began to recall some details of the trip, such as the spicy hot pot in Chengdu, where they were so spicy that their faces turned red but they still said it was enjoyable; the tense moment when Lin Yifei accidentally dropped his camera into the water while rafting on the Li River in Guilin, and everyone helped to salvage it; and the funny scene when Zhang Yuedong was invited to the stage to participate in the interaction while watching the marine folk performance in Qingdao. These memories made them laugh out loud, and the car was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Lin Yifei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the most delicious mutton soup steamed bun I have ever eaten. I always heard people say that the mutton soup steamed bun in Xi'an is delicious. Today I finally tasted it, and it really lives up to its reputation."

The three of them ate mutton soup with steamed buns and drank the pickled garlic and chili sauce provided free of charge in the store. They were sweating profusely and said it was so delicious.

After eating mutton soup steamed bun, they continued to stroll in Huimin Street. Along the way, they tasted various delicacies such as roujiamo, liangpi, zonggao, etc., each of which made them have endless aftertaste.

This trip not only allowed them to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the motherland and taste local delicacies, but also gave them a deeper understanding of different cultures through communication and interaction with people from different regions.

"Through this trip, I truly felt the profoundness of Chinese culture. Every place has its own unique history, culture and customs, which are the treasures of our nation." Li Xiao said, his eyes revealing his awe and love for culture.

Lin Yifei also said: "Yes, when I watched the Zhuang folk performances in Guilin, I was infected by their enthusiasm and vitality, and I also had a deeper understanding of the Zhuang culture. And in Qingdao, the folk culture full of marine flavor made me feel the profound impact of the sea on people's lives."

Traveling also deepens their friendship. During the journey, they take care of each other, help each other, and face various difficulties and challenges together. Whether they get lost on the way to find attractions or encounter unfamiliar tastes when tasting food, they can overcome them together and enjoy the fun of traveling together.

"This trip made me understand that true friendship can stand the test of time. In the face of difficulties, we will not complain to each other, but work together to find solutions to the problems." Zhang Yuedong said sincerely while looking at his two friends.

Li Xiao and Lin Yifei also felt the same way. They knew that this trip was not just a simple trip, but also a sublimation of their friendship. In the days to come, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will support each other and move forward together, just like this trip.

The train continued to move forward, and the scenery outside the window kept receding. Although this trip was about to end, they were full of expectations for future trips.

"On our next trip, we must visit more places and see the beautiful scenery in other parts of our country." Zhang Yuedong said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with longing for future travel.

Lin Yifei also smiled and said, "Yes, I want to experience more different cultures and taste more food. I heard that the Lijiang Ancient Town in Yunnan and the Potala Palace in XZ are very beautiful. We can go there next time."

Li Xiao nodded: "Okay, next time we have time, we will continue to set off. However, before that, we have to work hard and prepare for the next trip."

While discussing their next travel plans, they imagined the beautiful scenery and interesting things they might encounter in the future. In their minds, travel has become an indispensable part of life, which allows them to see a wider world and makes their lives more colorful.

As the train slowly pulled into the platform, their trip officially came to an end. But they knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more beautiful scenery waiting for them to explore and more stories waiting for them to write in the future. With a lot of gains and expectations for future travel, they walked out of the station and stepped into a new life.

After eating and drinking, they came to a theater to enjoy a wonderful Yue Opera performance. As a traditional opera in Zhejiang, Yue Opera is famous for its beautiful singing and delicate performance.

Walking into the theater, the stage is beautifully decorated, and the antique background makes people feel like they have traveled back to ancient times. After a while, the performance officially began. The first to appear was the classic play "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

The actors were dressed in gorgeous costumes and had delicate makeup. They attracted the attention of the audience as soon as they appeared. Their singing was melodious and touching, which vividly interpreted the love story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. "This singing is so beautiful. It feels like every note can touch people's hearts." Zhang Yuedong whispered to Li Xiao. Li Xiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, the singing of Yue Opera is very distinctive and sounds very gentle."

During the performance, the actors' movements were also very graceful. Their gestures were full of charm, and every look and expression was just right. Especially the actress who played Zhu Yingtai, her performance was delicate and nuanced, showing Zhu Yingtai's liveliness, intelligence and persistence in love very vividly.

"This performance is so wonderful! It feels like they are not acting, but telling a real story." Lin Yifei couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Yuedong also said: "Yes, the charm of Yue Opera is that it can make people immerse themselves in the plot and feel the emotions of the characters."

After the performance, the audience burst into warm applause. The actors took their bows on stage with proud smiles on their faces. The three were also deeply impressed by the charm of Yue Opera and gained a deeper understanding of the culture of Jiangnan.

On the last day, they came to Longjing Village. This place is full of rolling hills and shrouded in clouds and mist. It is the origin of Longjing tea. As soon as you enter Longjing Village, the air is filled with a faint tea fragrance, which makes people intoxicated.

They walked into the yard of a tea farmer, who warmly welcomed them. The tea farmer took them to the tea garden and introduced the planting and picking process of Longjing tea to them. "The picking of Longjing tea is very particular. Generally, only the tender buds with one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves are picked. The picking time is also very important. The tea before the Qingming Festival is the best because the tea leaves are fresh and fragrant at this time." said the tea farmer.

Zhang Yuedong asked curiously, "How are these tea leaves made after being picked?" The tea farmer smiled and said, "The production process of Longjing tea is very complicated. It has to go through many processes such as killing green, spreading and drying, frying, shaping, etc. Each process requires experienced masters to operate to ensure the quality of the tea." Then, the tea farmer took them to the tea making workshop to watch the frying process of tea. The masters skillfully fry the tea leaves in the pot, and their skills are so skillful that people are amazed. "The skill of frying tea leaves cannot be mastered in a day or two. It requires long-term practice." The tea farmer said.

After watching the roasting process, the tea farmers invited them to taste the new tea. A cup of steaming hot Longjing tea was served to them, the tea soup was clear and bright, and the aroma was fragrant. They took a sip and found the tea soup fresh and sweet, with a mellow taste that left a lasting aftertaste.

"This Longjing tea is so fragrant!" Zhang Yuedong exclaimed. Lin Yifei also said: "Yes, after drinking this cup of tea, I feel refreshed." Li Xiao smiled and said: "Longjing tea not only tastes good, but also has many benefits, such as refreshing the mind and anti-oxidation."

After tasting the tea, the three of them each picked some of their favorite tea leaves to take back to their families and friends. They ended their trip in Hangzhou with a full sense of tea fragrance and good memories.

During the few days in Hangzhou, they went boating on the West Lake, tasted delicious food, watched Yue Opera, and bought tea, fully experiencing the poetry and romance of this city. Every moment has become the most precious memory of their journey. They are looking forward to the next stop of the journey and what kind of surprises are waiting for them.

With the end of the trip to Hangzhou, the three people's trip to China gradually came to an end. They embarked on the journey home with full of memories and gains.

On the train back home, the three of them were silent, feeling reluctant to see the journey end, but also reminiscing about the good times. After a long while, Zhang Yuedong was the first to break the silence: "This trip is really unforgettable. We visited so many beautiful places, tasted so many delicious foods, and enjoyed wonderful performances. I feel like I gained a lot."

Lin Yifei also said with emotion: "Yes, every time I go to a city, I can feel the different culture and customs, which cannot be learned from books. Moreover, we have experienced so much together, and these memories are too precious."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "This trip not only allowed us to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland, but also made us understand each other better and our friendship became deeper. This is the most valuable gain."

Recalling every detail of the trip, the magnificent scenery, tempting food, wonderful performances and interesting stories all emerged in their minds like a movie. They shared the most unforgettable moments of the trip, sometimes laughing and sometimes sighing.

"I think the most unforgettable moment was when we climbed up the beacon tower and looked down at the winding Great Wall and the magnificent mountains and rivers. I will never forget the feeling of shock and pride," Zhang Yuedong said excitedly.

Lin Yifei nodded in agreement: "I also think the Great Wall left the deepest impression on me, but the beauty of Jiuzhaigou is also unforgettable. The clear lake water and colorful pools are like a fairy tale world. I feel as if I am in a fairyland."

Li Xiao recalled the scene of eating hot pot in Chengdu and couldn't help laughing: "If I were to say what was the most unforgettable, it would definitely be the spicy hot pot in Chengdu. The spicy taste makes me drool just thinking about it now. Although my face was red from the spiciness, I still couldn't stop eating."

They also shared the interesting people and things they met during the trip. Those warm moments made them feel the beauty between people. In the process of sharing, they also realized more deeply that the meaning of this trip is not only to appreciate the scenery, but also to spend happy time with friends.

The train moved forward slowly, getting closer and closer to their hometown. Although the three of them were reluctant to leave this trip, they were also full of expectations for future trips.

"Let's travel together again next time, visit more places and see more scenery." Zhang Yuedong said with anticipation.

Lin Yifei responded immediately: "Okay, I can't wait. Next time we can go to more cities and experience different customs and cultures."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Yes, the meaning of travel lies in constant exploration and discovery. I believe that there will be more wonderful journeys waiting for us in the future."

They began planning their next trip, discussing places they wanted to go and things they wanted to experience. Although this trip was coming to an end, their friendship and love of travel would last forever.

When the train finally arrived at the station in their hometown, the three walked out of the station with full of memories and expectations for the future. They knew that this trip was a precious experience in their lives and would be forever engraved in their hearts. In the future, there are more wonderful things waiting for them to explore.

"Today's trip to Gulangyu Island was really wonderful. Everything here is unforgettable for me." Li Xiao said with emotion while looking at the sea.

Zhang Yuedong also smiled and said: "Yes, Gulangyu is really a charming place. I will come again next time I have the chance."

Lin Yifei nodded in agreement: "This trip is really great. Every city has brought us different surprises. I believe the rest of the trip will be even more exciting."

The next day, they came to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. Zhongshan Road is one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Xiamen. It not only has a variety of modern shopping malls and shops, but also many historic buildings and traditional Minnan snack shops. Most of the buildings on both sides of the street retain the style of arcades. This unique architectural form is both beautiful and practical, and can block the sun and rain for pedestrians.

They first came to a shacha noodle shop, ready to taste this specialty food of Xiamen. Shacha noodles are a traditional and unique noodle food in Xiamen, famous for its rich shacha sauce. The noodles are chewy and smooth, and are served with rich ingredients such as meat slices, shrimps, and bean skin, making it unforgettable. The business of this shop is very hot, and the shop is full of diners. They ordered three bowls of shacha noodles, and soon, the steaming shacha noodles were served. The rich aroma of shacha is mouth-watering. Li Xiao couldn't wait to taste it and praised it highly: "This shacha noodle is so delicious, the soup is rich, and the noodles are chewy. It really lives up to its reputation." (End of this chapter)
