Zhou Xueyan held the ice cream spoon eager to try, and said: "My friend said this is Haagen-Dazs in Shaanxi, and I have long wanted to come."

Chen Xing doesn't like sweets, so he started with the sesame sauce cold skin ice cream that he told the store that it wasn't very sweet.

It's not really sweet.

Because he is spicy!

The spicy ice cream also has the aroma of sesame paste. Ordinary ice cream will melt into a creamy liquid when you sip it in your mouth, but the one Chen Xing ate has the graininess of chili seeds after it melts into water.

"How is it?" Zhou Xueyan asked.

"It's fine to eat and play, let's say it's delicious..."

Chen Xing didn't go on, anyway, it's Zhou Xueyan's store for a long time, so it's hard to say that it's not delicious.

Zhou Xueyan also took a sip, and immediately understood what Chen Xing said just now.

Indeed, this thing can only be eaten for fun.

However, the other ice creams tasted pretty good, especially the fermented glutinous rice, which had a faint aroma of rice wine and a milky aroma. This was Chen Xing's favorite among these ice cream balls.

Dragon fruit is also good.

In fact, these ice creams have already 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 Chen Xing and Zhou Xueyan can't accept the sesame sauce cold skin flavor.

This kind of sesame sauce with the taste of oily and spicy, it is estimated that there will always be people who like it.

After eating, Zhou Xueyan asked, "How much?"

"Seven points, what do you think?"

"I'm okay, about eight or nine points. It seems that girls really like to eat sweets more than you boys. Did you find it?"

Chen Xing nodded and said, "It's always been like this."

Why doesn't he have a sweet tooth?

When you were in school, you were given sugar and milk tea every day, and you would lose your sense of sweets, not to mention that Chen Xing is still a kid from Sichuan Province, he prefers salty and fragrant things, such as the steamed pork that he ate before.

Non-stop, the third store.

Qinyu Roujiamo.

Chen Xing said that he wanted to eat Roujiamo, so Zhou Xueyan found a restaurant on his map that had been recommended.

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 your tongue?" Zhou Xueyan asked.

"Look, what happened?"

"The Roujiamo in the first season belongs to this family."

The two of them have arrived outside the Qinyu Roujiamo store. This store is the same as the store they went to before. It looks very simple in appearance, about [-] to [-] square meters, with two or three dining windows.

On the wall next to it is a prominent plaque that has been on the program "A Bite of Tongue", everything looks so ordinary, if it weren't for the plaque on the wall, it would be impossible for people to notice that this is an internet celebrity shop.

There are very few dining tables, only a few, and there are people sitting, and 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 Roujiamo, so they only ordered two high-quality Roujiamo... It's best not to eat these things together.

They stood in line at the window of Roujiamo and waited a few minutes for them to arrive.

There was a lot of meat on the chef's cutting board. The smell of the meat mixed with the sauce made Chen Xing taste the meat stuffing in his mouth before he ate it.

The baked pancake was cut open from the slope, a large amount of meat stuffing was put in, and then placed in a greased paper bag.

After getting the Roujiamo, the two walked out of the shop.

They didn't chat much, because Chen Xing took a bite and found that there was too much juice in the minced meat, and it was dripping down his chin. He quickly lowered his head to prevent the juice from dripping onto his clothes.

At this moment, Chen Xing received something in his left hand.

"Wipe it with paper."

dear ones!
Chen Xing wiped it with a piece of paper, and then said: "I almost forgot, you have been in Xi'an for more than a year, even if you haven't eaten the roujiamo from this restaurant, you must have eaten theirs, and you didn't remind me I say."

"Eating Roujiamo without going through this process is an incomplete experience."

The gravy and the sauce make the meat taste comparable to the steak produced in a top western restaurant. The meat is rich... But there is only one thing, Chen Xing still feels that the meat tastes a bit strong.

By the way, is the meat in Xi’an feeling like this?
It's just not as rich as mutton steamed buns.

Compared with the steak that needs to be cut and dipped in sauce, the minced meat of Roujiamo is shredded and then completely blended with the sauce. However, because of this, the juice can flow out easily.

The crispy and fragrant baked buns match this meat stuffing.

Eating the two together can neutralize some of the meat's taste. 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 to say: "Eight points, the taste is not bad. If your friend comes to Xi'an, you can recommend him to eat once, so that he can also experience the feeling of gravy."

"Haha."

Afterwards, the two went to eat at two nearby restaurants. After Chen Xing couldn't eat anything, they went straight to the Bell and Drum Tower by car.

If you don't go now, he will close the door again at night.

The ticket for the Bell Tower is 30 yuan, and there is a joint ticket sold together with the Drum Tower, a total of 50 yuan.

When Chen Xing was under the bell tower, he could see the opposite Drum Tower. These two buildings are far away from each other. It is said that they are only 200 meters apart.

Looking at the bell tower from the ground, I just feel that this is a small city wall.

Just after the new year, the eaves of the bell tower are covered with red lanterns, and there are drains above the door openings.

The superiority of Chinese ancient buildings can sometimes be found in these small details. Many well-known people are bragging about how good foreign countries are, and even the preserved ancient buildings are so strong.

They should all come and see the Bell and Drum Tower.

Are the buildings of our country not solid?
Not only solid, but also exquisite, the whole is magnificent and magnificent. The eaves are covered with dark green glazed tiles, painted pillars and carved beams, and there is a gilded treasure roof on the top, which has strong Chinese national characteristics.

Walking into the bell tower, you can see a lot of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but judging by the age, these should be modern antique furniture.Then there is the history of the repair of the Bell and Drum Tower, as well as some cultural relics and the like.

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 cables, making the hanging bell look like a swing chair.

Chen Xing went to the second floor to look at the history.

Zhou Xueyan reminded: "If we don't go to the Drum Tower now, we will miss the performance there in a while."

Only then did Chen Xing check the time, and went downstairs towards the Drum Tower.

You can walk to the Drum Tower in about 10 minutes. Its overall appearance is not too different from the Bell Tower, but what you see after going upstairs is not the history of the Bell and Drum Tower, but the history of drums, various drums, and encouragement.

There is a row of drums in the corridor outside the building, with 24 solar terms written on the drum surface, and there is another drum that is said to be the largest in China. According to the introduction, it is 1.8 meters high, and it looks very imposing.

Zhou Xueyan reminded Chen Xing from time to time to look for a spot, and if it was late, he could only stand and watch.

Chen Xing didn't care about going to the third floor to look at the cultural relics anymore, and followed Zhou Xueyan to the place to watch the performance.

There are already many people sitting, and there is no one on the stage, but there are many musical instruments, such as chime bells, zithers, drums, and many ancient musical instruments whose names Chen Xing cannot name.

Less than 10 minutes after sitting down, there is no place to sit down, and people are still coming from afar.

Trumpets on stage are introducing the instruments here.

Zhou Xueyan whispered to Chen Xing, "It's about to start."

"Ah."

After a while, a few people in ancient costumes came in, two men in black clothes, and four girls in red clothes, all of them looked like the kind that people in the palace would wear. clothing.

The man played the big drum and the sheng, and the four girls, one of whom was sitting on the zither, the other two were holding a Xiao, the other a flute, and the last one ran behind the chime.

The scene fell silent as they got ready.

The first sound was the chime.

Chen Xing liked this sound very much when it rang for the first time. He didn't expect that the simple and grand chime could strike such a crisp sound, as crisp as knocking a wine glass with chopsticks.

But the sound quality is much better than knocking wine glasses at home, and there is echo, which is very pleasant.

Then, Shengxiao, Dizi, Guzheng, and Dagu joined in order.

Chen Xing didn't know the name of the song, but it was undoubtedly good.

If you close your eyes and feel it, you will feel the shock of watching Journey to the West for the first time, the scene of heaven appears, and then the sound of Yungong Xun sounds.You will feel, damn it, this is the music that heaven should have!
It's the same here, Chen Xing was thinking when he realized that he was sitting in an ancient Tang Dynasty-style building.

This is the kind of music that should be here.

This is the music that China should be played.

Both atmospheric and elegant.

When you open your eyes, there is a beautiful woman with a veil. When you close your eyes, you can hear music that can touch your soul.

"Great country culture." Chen Xing sighed in his heart.

The performance was not very long, and it ended in a short time. Chen Xing sat here for a long time, until Zhou Xueyan reminded them that the two walked down the Drum Tower slowly.

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 light strips that would never have been possible in ancient times, he felt that the soul of the Drum Tower came back at night, with the strength and charm that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Chen Xing was originally an emotional person, but at this time he felt the surging feeling when listening to the song.

The road ahead is full of traffic.

The ancient city of Chang'an should have been so lively, otherwise why would it be called the city that never sleeps?
Chen Xing suddenly liked this place very much.

Maybe a few years ago, before several rounds of reincarnation, I was also a literati who was devoted to the mountains and rivers. When I came to Chang'an, I was obsessed with the profound beauty of the ancient city.

So deep in my heart, I am looking forward to it all the time, longing for the day when I can revisit the old place.

"Let's go?" Zhou Xueyan's voice came.

"it is good."

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 has illuminated the prosperity of ancient Chang'an and witnessed the rise of Xi'an today.
