Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

On the day they left Jinan, the sun was shining and the breeze was not dry. Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah set out on a journey to Cangzhou hand in hand.

Cangzhou, a famous historical and cultural city known as the "Lion City", has not only nurtured countless literati and poets, but also has amazing natural scenery and cultural landscapes.

For two young people who love traveling and food, Cangzhou is undoubtedly a place full of temptation.

"Brother Yong, what delicious food do you think there will be in Cangzhou?" On the plane, Hannah blinked her big eyes and looked at Lu Yong with anticipation.

Lu Yong smiled and touched her head. "I heard that the Hejian donkey meat hotpot in Cangzhou is very famous. There are also golden thread dates, Xianwang wine, and Huanghua swimming crabs, which are the best seafood!"

When Hannah heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, "Wow, that sounds delicious! Brother Yong, we must try all of these!"

The plane slowly landed at Cangzhou Airport, and the two walked out of the airport happily, carrying their luggage. They had booked a hotel with a good reputation online in advance, which was very close to the snack street, so they could start their food tour at any time.

After leaving their luggage at the hotel, the two couldn't wait to embark on a journey to find delicious food. The snack street was bustling with all kinds of stalls and fragrant aromas. Lu Yong and Hannah were like two children, excitedly shuttled through the crowd.

"Look, that's where they sell Hejian donkey meat BBQ!" Lu Yong pointed to a stall not far away and ran over with Hannah.

There was a long queue in front of the stall, but the two did not find it annoying at all. They chatted while waiting in line, occasionally stealing a glance at the donkey meat hot pot in the hands of the customer in front of them, swallowing their saliva.

Finally it was their turn, and the boss greeted them warmly: "How many donkey meat hotpots would you like?"

Lu Yong said proudly: "Give me two, with more donkey meat!"

Hannah smiled and added: "Yes, it has to be hot!"

Soon, two steaming donkey meat buns were handed to them. Lu Yong took a bite and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. The deliciousness of the donkey meat and the crispy crust were perfectly combined, making people unable to stop eating.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Hannah also took a bite and praised it highly.

The two of them continued to stroll along the snack street while eating donkey meat huoshao. Suddenly, Hannah's eyes were attracted by a small golden fruit. "Brother Yong, what is that?"

Lu Yong looked over and said with a smile: "That's Cangzhou golden silk dates, very sweet and nutritious."

The two bought a bag of golden thread dates and ate them while walking. The sweetness of the dates melted on the tip of the tongue, making people feel happy.

As they walked, they came to a wine stall. Lu Yong glanced at the three words "Xianwang Wine" on the sign and asked curiously, "Hannah, have you ever drunk this kind of wine?"

Hannah shook her head. "No, but it looks interesting."

Seeing this, the boss introduced it enthusiastically: "This is our Cangzhou specialty wine, with a mellow taste and a long aftertaste. Would you like to try it?"

Lu Yong thought about it and decided to buy a small bottle to try. He opened the bottle cap, sniffed the aroma, and then took a sip carefully, "Well, it's really good!"

Hannah also took a sip and her eyes lit up, "It's really delicious! Brother Yong, how about we take some back home to drink in the evening?"

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, "Good idea!"

The two continued walking forward, and suddenly a salty and fresh aroma hit their noses. They followed the aroma and found a seafood stall. The stall was filled with a variety of seafood, the most eye-catching of which was the Huanghua swimming crab.

"Brother Yong, look how big that crab is!" Hannah exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the swimming crab.

Lu Yong walked over to take a look. The crab shell was shining with an attractive luster, and the crab claws were thick and strong. It was obvious that the meat was full. He said without hesitation: "Boss, give me two Huanghua swimming crabs!"

The boss skillfully picked out the two largest swimming crabs, weighed them, and packed them. Lu Yong and Hannah returned to the hotel happily carrying the swimming crabs.

After returning to the hotel, the two couldn't wait to prepare dinner. Lu Yong was responsible for cleaning the swimming crabs, while Hannah helped cut onions, ginger and garlic. Soon, the kitchen was filled with tempting aromas.

The swimming crab was steamed, and Lu Yong carefully opened the crab shell, and the golden crab roe and snow-white crab meat came into view. He picked up a piece of crab meat and put it in his mouth, and it was immediately full of freshness and fragrance. The tenderness of the crab meat and the salty and fresh soup were perfectly combined, which made people linger.

"Hannah, try it!" Lu Yong put a piece of crab meat into Hannah's bowl.

Hannah took a bite and her eyes lit up immediately, "Wow, it's delicious! Brother Yong, this is the most delicious crab I have ever eaten!"

The two ate swimming crabs, drank Xianwang wine, chatted, and enjoyed this rare leisure time. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, they were both a little tipsy.

"Brother Yong, where do you think we should go next?" Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder and asked softly.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "There are many interesting places in Cangzhou, such as the Iron Lion, Nandagang Wetland, Dongguang Iron Buddha Temple... We can go and see them tomorrow."

Hannah nodded. "Okay, I'll definitely go check them out!"

After dinner, the two decided to go out for a walk to help digest the food. They walked out of the hotel and strolled along the street. Cangzhou was brightly lit at night, with trees and flowers lining both sides of the street.

As they walked, they came to a fruit stand. The stand was filled with all kinds of fruits, and the most eye-catching one was the Botou Duck Pear. The Duck Pear was large, thin-skinned, golden in color, and exuded an alluring aroma.

"Brother Yong, look at that pear, it's so big!" Hannah shouted, pointing at the pear.

Lu Yong walked over to take a look. They were indeed very big and tempting. He bought a few pears and ate them with Hannah while walking. The sweetness and moisture of the pears melted on the tip of the tongue, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Brother Yong, this pear is so delicious!" Hannah took a bite of the pear and praised it highly.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, "Yes, Cangzhou's pears are famous for their sweetness!"

The two ate pears and chatted, enjoying this beautiful night. The street lights stretched their shadows very long, as if telling the sweetness and happiness between them.

After walking for a while, they returned to the hotel.
Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their hearts filled with satisfaction. "Brother Yong, we're going to go to more fun places tomorrow!" Hannah said excitedly while lying on the bed.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, "Okay, as long as you are willing, I can accompany you to the ends of the earth!"

The two smiled at each other. In this strange city, they found their own happiness.

It was late at night, but Lu Yong and Hannah's hearts were full of anticipation.

They knew that the upcoming trip to Cangzhou would definitely be even more exciting.

The next morning, the sunlight sneaked into Lu Yong and Hannah's room through the gaps in the curtains.

Lu Yong rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned his head to look at Hannah who was sleeping soundly beside him, and couldn't help but pinch her nose gently.

"Hey, little lazy pig, get up! Today we are going to Wuqiao Acrobatics World!" Lu Yong said softly.

Hannah opened her eyes dazedly, and when she heard that they were going to Wuqiao Acrobatics World, she immediately perked up: "Really? That's great! I've always wanted to see an acrobatic show!"

The two quickly washed up and went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast. While eating the dumplings, Hannah said excitedly, "Brother Yong, do you think acrobatic performances are dangerous? How do those actors train?"

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either, but we will know when we go to Wuqiao Acrobatics World! I heard that the acrobatic performances there are thrilling and breathtaking!"

After breakfast, the two drove to Wuqiao Acrobatics World. Along the way, Hannah kept asking questions like a child, and Lu Yong patiently answered them one by one, and the car was filled with laughter.

Finally, they arrived at Wuqiao Acrobatics World. As soon as they walked through the gate, they were stunned by the lively scene in front of them. Various acrobatic performance venues were scattered in an orderly manner, the actors were rehearsing intensively, and the tourists gathered around the venues, looking forward to the start of the performance.

"Wow, it's so lively here!" Hannah pulled Lu Yong's hand and shouted excitedly.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, it seems that we have come to the right place today! Let's go and see the high-wire walking performance first!"

The two came to the high-wire walking performance venue, where they saw an actor in colorful clothes walking on the wire as if it were flat ground, sometimes standing on one foot, sometimes hanging upside down, which drew bursts of amazement from the audience.

"Oh my God, this is amazing! If I went up there, I would be so scared that my legs would go weak!" Hannah covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Lu Yong smiled and patted her shoulder: "Haha, if you go up there, they'll probably have to use a crane to lower you down! But having said that, these actors are so brave. This kind of skill is not something that ordinary people can master."

After watching the high-wire walk, the two came to the magic show. A magician in a tuxedo was performing close-up magic on the stage. His technique was skillful and unpredictable. He turned playing cards into flowers and made coins disappear into the air.

"Wow, this magic is amazing! How did he do it?" Hannah widened her eyes and looked curious.

Lu Yong shook his head: "I don't know either, but that's the charm of magic! If everyone knew how to do it, magic would be boring."

Hannah nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly took Lu Yong's hand and said, "Brother Yong, let's learn some magic too! We can perform magic tricks for each other in the future!"

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "I don't have that talent, but if you want to learn, I can accompany you to sign up for a magic class!"

The two laughed and left the magic show, continuing to explore the mysteries of Wuqiao Acrobatics World. As they walked, they came to a performance venue called "Death Flywheel". They saw two huge flywheels spinning in the air, and the actors in tights were running and jumping on the flywheels, and even doing various difficult movements on the outer edge of the flywheels.

"Oh my God, this is so dangerous! What if they accidentally fall down?" Hannah covered her eyes nervously as she watched the performance.

Lu Yong stared at the performance intently, full of admiration: "This is the charm of acrobatics! These actors have to practice countless times to reach this level. Their courage and perseverance are really admirable!"

After the performance, the two were still immersed in the thrill. Hannah held Lu Yong's hand and said excitedly: "Brother Yong, did you see the flywheel performance just now? It was so shocking! I have never seen such a thrilling performance!"

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, I was also shocked. These actors are really amazing! They interpret the charm of acrobatics with their own lives."

The two continued walking and came to a performance venue for acrobatic clowns. The clowns were dressed in colorful costumes and funny hats, performing various funny actions on the stage. Sometimes they fell to the ground, and sometimes they made exaggerated expressions, which made the audience laugh.

"Haha, this clown is so funny! The movement he just made was just like a monkey!" Hannah pointed at the clown on the stage and laughed.

Lu Yong couldn't help laughing: "These clowns are so talented! They use their humor and talent to bring joy to the audience."

After watching the clown show, the two came to a performance venue for acrobatic stunts. The actors were performing various difficult acrobatic moves, such as flying trapeze, judo, balancing, etc. Their performance was superb and dazzling.

"Brother Yong, look at that aerialist! How can they do so many moves in the air? It's amazing!" Hannah exclaimed, pointing at the actors in the air.

Lu Yong also shook his head: "I don't know either, but this is the charm of acrobatics! These actors have gone through countless times of practice and training to reach this level. Their efforts and persistence are really admirable!"

The two were mesmerized by the performance and completely immersed in the acrobatics. Sometimes they were amazed at the actors' superb skills, and sometimes they were nervous for the actors' thrilling performances. Every performance made them feel the charm and magic of acrobatics.

Before they knew it, the sun had already set. Lu Yong and Hannah reluctantly left Wuqiao Acrobatics World. On the way home, they were still thinking about the performance.

"Brother Yong, what do you think of today's performance?" Hannah asked.

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "I have never seen such a wonderful acrobatic performance! These actors are really amazing!"

Hannah nodded. "Yes, I was shocked too! I think these actors not only have extraordinary skills, but also courage and perseverance. They are interpreting the charm of acrobatics with their lives, which is really admirable!"

Lu Yong smiled and touched Hannah's head: "Yes, this is the charm of acrobatics! But by the way, did you have fun today?"

Hannah smiled and nodded: "Of course I am happy! I think today is the happiest day of my trip to Cangzhou! Thank you for bringing me to Wuqiao Acrobatics World!"

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "What are you thanking me for! As long as you are happy, I am happy! We will have more days like this in the future!" (End of this chapter)
