The first two chapters have been slightly modified... Zhou Xueyan took the ice cream spoon and was eager to try it, and said: "My friend said this is the Haagen-Dazs of Shaanxi. I have long wanted to come." Chen Xing doesn't like sweets, so he He started with the sesame-liangpi-flavored ice cream that the store said was not very sweet.
It's really not sweet. Because he is hot! The spicy ice cream also has the aroma of sesame sauce. Ordinary ice cream will turn into a cream-like liquid when you sip it in your mouth, but the one Chen Xing ate turned into water and still had the grainy texture of chili seeds.
"How is it?" Zhou Xueyan asked.
"You can eat it for fun, tell me it's delicious..." Chen Xing didn't go on. After all, it's a store that Zhou Xueyan has kept for a long time, so it's hard to say clearly that it's not delicious.
Zhou Xueyan also took a taste and immediately understood what Chen Xing just said. Indeed, this thing can only be eaten and played with.
However, the other ice creams taste pretty good, especially the glutinous rice wine flavor, which has the aroma of rice wine and a milky aroma. This is Chen Xing's favorite among these ice cream balls.
The dragon fruit ones are also good. In fact, these ice creams have broken the impression in Chen Xing's mind that all ice creams are sweet and sweet. All the flavors here have their own characteristics, even the sesame paste flavor that Chen Xing and Zhou Xueyan cannot accept.
Some people will probably like this kind of sesame sauce with the flavor of spicy oil. After eating, Zhou Xueyan asked: "How much?"
"Seven points, what do you think?"
"I'm okay, eight or nine points. It seems that girls really like sweets more than you boys. Have you noticed?" Chen Xing nodded and said, "It's always been like this." Why doesn't he like sweets?
When you were in school, you were given sweets and milk tea every day, and you would lose your taste for sweets. Besides, Chen Xing was a child from Sichuan Province, and he preferred salty food, such as the steamed pork belly he ate before.
Non-stop, the third store. Qinyu Roujiamo. Chen Xing said he wanted to eat roujiamo, so Zhou Xueyan found a restaurant on his map that had been recommended by others.
There is also Roujiamo in Dapiyuan, but I heard that the taste is not as good as this one.
"Have you seen the tip of the tongue?" Zhou Xueyen asked.
"See, what's wrong?"
"The Roujiamo shop in the first season is this one." The two of them have arrived outside Qin Yu's Roujiamo shop. This shop is the same as the shop they went to before. It looks very simple in appearance and is 40 to 50 square meters. On the left and right, there are two or three food pick-up windows.
On the wall next to it is an eye-catching plaque that has appeared on the "Tiangue" program. Everything seems so ordinary. If it weren't for the plaque on the wall, no one would notice that this is a "Tiangue" internet celebrity store.
There are only a few dining tables, and there are people sitting on them. Some people even eat standing up. The two looked at the menu.
There are other things on the menu besides Roujiamo, but both of them came here for the Roujiamo, so they only ordered two high-quality Roujiamo... It is best not to eat these things together.
They stood in line at the window of the Roujiamo and waited several minutes for them to arrive. There was a large amount of meat on the chef's cutting board. The aroma of the meat mixed with the taste of the sauce made Chen Xing taste the meat filling in his mouth before he even ate it.
The baked dough was cut open on a slant, a large amount of meat stuffing was put in, and then placed in an oil paper bag.
After getting the meat buns, the two walked out of the store. They didn't even chat much, because Chen Xing took a bite and found that there was too much juice in the meat filling and was flowing down his chin. He quickly lowered his head to prevent the juice from dripping onto his clothes.
At this time, Chen Xing received something in his left hand.
"Wipe it with paper." My dear! Chen Xing wiped it with paper and then said: "I almost forgot. You have been in Xi'an for more than a year. Even if you haven't eaten this Roujiamo, you must have eaten theirs. You didn't even remind me. Say it to me."
"Eating Roujiamo without going through this process is an incomplete experience." The gravy and sauce make the meaty taste comparable to the steaks produced in top Western restaurants. The meaty aroma is rich...but only a little, Chen Xing still thinks the meat tastes a bit strong.
By the way, does the meat in Xi'an always feel like this? It's just not as rich as mutton steamed buns. Compared with steaks that need to be cut and dipped in sauce, the meat fillings of Roujiamo are chopped and then completely integrated with the sauce. However, because of this, the juices flow out easily.
Matching this meat filling is the crispy and fragrant grilled buns. Eating the two together can neutralize some of the taste of meat. Generally speaking, it has a salty flavor, which Chen Xing thinks is good.
Seeing Zhou Xueyan take out his mobile phone, Chen Xing took the initiative and said: "Eight points, the taste is not bad. If your friend comes to Xi'an, you can recommend him to eat it once, so that he can also experience the feeling of flowing meat juice."
"Haha." After that, the two of them went to eat at two nearby restaurants. After Chen Xing couldn't eat at all, they took a car and went straight to the Bell and Drum Tower.
If you don't go now, he will close again in the evening. The ticket for the Bell Tower is 30 yuan, and there is a joint ticket with the Drum Tower for a total of 50 yuan.
When Chen Xing was under the Bell Tower, he could see the Drum Tower opposite. The two buildings were far apart from each other. I heard they were only two hundred meters apart.
Looking at the bell tower from the ground, it just feels like a small city wall. Just after the New Year, the eaves of the bell tower are covered with red lanterns, and there is a drainage outlet above the doorway.
The superiority of ancient Chinese architecture can sometimes be found in these small details. Many intellectuals are bragging about how good foreign buildings are, and even the preserved ancient buildings are so solid.
They should all come and see the Bell and Drum Towers. Aren’t our country’s buildings strong? It is not only strong, but also exquisite, and overall magnificent. The eaves are covered with dark green glazed tiles, painted pillars and beams, and there is a gilded roof on the top, which has strong Chinese national characteristics.
When you walk into the bell tower, you can see a lot of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but judging from the condition, these should be modern antique furniture.
Then there is the renovation history of the Bell and Drum Towers, as well as some cultural relics. Of course, the most precious cultural relic among them is the Jingyuan Bell. Most of them were afraid that the bell would fall, so they fixed it with iron ropes, making the hanging bell look like a swing chair.
Chen Xing went to the second floor to read the history. Zhou Xueyan reminded: "If we don't go to the Drum Tower now, we will miss the performance there soon." Chen Xing then checked the time and went downstairs towards the Drum Tower.
It takes about ten minutes to walk to the Drum Tower. Its overall appearance is not much different from the Bell Tower. However, what you see when you go upstairs is not the history of the Bell and Drum Tower, but the history of drums, various drums, and drums.
There is a row of drums in the corridor outside the building, with the 24 solar terms written on the drums. There is also a drum that is said to be the largest in China. According to the introduction, it is 1.8 meters high, which looks very impressive.
Zhou Xueyan reminded Chen Xing from time to time to find a spot, but when it was too late, he could only stand and watch. Chen Xing no longer bothered to go to the third floor to see the cultural relics, and followed Zhou Xueyan to the place where he watched the performance.
There are many people sitting now, and there is no one on the stage yet, but there are many musical instruments, such as chimes, guzheng, drums, and many ancient musical instruments that Chen Xing cannot name.
Less than ten minutes after I sat down, there was no place to sit down, and people kept coming from afar.
The speakers on stage are introducing the instruments here. Zhou Xueyan whispered to Chen Xing, "It's about to begin."
"Yeah." After a while, several people in ancient costumes came in. Two men were wearing black clothes, and four girls were wearing red clothes. They all looked like people from the palace. The kind of clothing you wear.
The men played the big drum and the sheng, and there were four girls, one of whom was sitting on the guzheng position, the other two were holding a Xiao, the other was holding a flute, and the last one ran behind the chimes.
The scene fell silent as they prepared. The first thing that sounded was the sound of chimes. Chen Xing liked this sound very much when it rang for the first time. He didn't expect that the simple and majestic chimes could ring such a clear sound, as clear as hitting a wine glass with a tachyon.
But the sound quality is much better than knocking on a wine glass at home, and there is an echo, which is particularly pleasant. Then, shengxiao, flute, guzheng, and drum were added in sequence.
Chen Xing didn't know the name of the song, but it was undoubtedly nice. If you close your eyes and feel it, you will be as shocked as if you were watching Journey to the West for the first time, the scene of heaven appeared, and then the sound of Yun Palace sounded.
You will feel like, damn, this is the kind of music that heaven should have! The same is true here, Chen Xing was thinking when he realized that he was sitting in an ancient building in the style of the Tang Dynasty.
This is the music that should be here. This is the music that should be played in China. It's both grand and elegant.
Open your eyes and see a veiled beauty. Close your eyes and you can hear music that touches your soul.
"The culture of a great country." Chen Xing sighed in his heart. The performance was not very long and ended not long after. Chen Xing sat here for a long time. It was not until Zhou Xueyan reminded them that the two of them walked slowly down the Drum Tower.
When walking out of the Drum Tower, Chen Xing found that the light strips around the Drum Tower were all lit up. Just like when Chen Xing saw the ancient city wall lit up with lamps, looking at the lamp strips that would never have existed in ancient times, he felt that the soul of the Drum Tower came back at night, with the character and charm passed down for thousands of years.
Chen Xing was always an emotional person, and now he felt the same excitement when listening to music.
The road ahead is busy with traffic. Chang'an City in ancient times should have been so lively, otherwise why would it be called the city that never sleeps?
Chen Xing suddenly liked this place very much. Perhaps a few years ago, several reincarnations ago, I was also a literati who was obsessed with mountains and rivers. I came to Chang'an and became obsessed with the rich beauty of the ancient city.
So deep in my heart, I am always looking forward to it, longing to be able to revisit my old place one day.
"Let's go?" Zhou Xueyan's voice came.
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded, took a deep breath, tightened his clothes and walked forward. Chang'an is always there, and the excitement is always there.
The bright moon in the sky illuminated the prosperity of ancient Chang'an and witnessed the rise of Xi'an today.
