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

On Lu Yong and Hannah’s last day in Cangzhou, the sun seemed to shine with golden light specially for them, warm but not dazzling.

The two held hands, as excited as two children, ready to leave their last beautiful memories in this city.

"Yongzi, I heard that there is a celebrity botanical garden in Cangzhou, which is full of statues of historical celebrities in Cangzhou. We must go and check it out!" Hannah blinked and looked at Lu Yong with anticipation.

Lu Yong smiled and scratched Hannah's nose: "As you wish, Queen! Your wish is my guide to action."

The two of them sang and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the Celebrity Botanical Garden. As soon as he entered, Lu Yong was shocked by the scene in front of him. In the green, there were various statues scattered in an orderly manner, each of which was lifelike, as if historical figures had crossed time and space and appeared in front of them.

"Look, who is that?" Hannah asked, pointing to a statue not far away.

Lu Yong took a closer look and saw that the person on the statue was dressed in ancient costume, holding a scroll, and his brows revealed the aura of a scholar. "Hmm... This should be a great writer, right? Let me take a look at the introduction."

The two approached the statue and read the biography carefully. It turned out that this was a famous writer in Cangzhou's history, and his works have been passed down through the ages and influenced generations.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim, "I want to take a photo with this great writer and get some of his literary flair!"

As she spoke, Hannah posed in various positions to get in close contact with the statue, while Lu Yong acted as a photographer, snapping away non-stop.

"Yongzi, take a picture too!" Hannah pulled Lu Yong and dragged him to the statue.

Lu Yong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I am a big and strong man, but when I stand next to the literary giant, I just look like a warrior!"

Hannah laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "That's the cute contrast we want! Come on, strike a pose!"

Lu Yong had no choice but to bite the bullet and strike a pose that he thought was fairly elegant, and took a photo with the statue.

The two walked and looked along the way. Every time they came across a celebrity statue, they would study it carefully and take photos and check in. Sometimes, Hannah would imitate the movements of the statue, making Lu Yong laugh.

"Hey, Yongzi, look at that statue. Doesn't it look like a martial arts master?" Hannah asked, pointing to a statue in the distance.

Lu Yong looked over and saw that the person on the statue was dressed in armor, holding a sword, and looked heroic.

"Yes, like a hero! Hannah, come over here and I'll take a picture of you as a 'female hero'!" Lu Yong said excitedly.

When Hannah heard this, she immediately became excited and posed in various martial arts poses, as if she had really become a female martial artist. Lu Yong was having a great time taking photos of her, secretly admiring Hannah's imagination and expressiveness.

In this way, the two had a lot of fun in the celebrity botanical garden, and before they knew it, it was noon. They found a cool place to sit down, eat the snacks they brought, and chat.

"Yongzi, where are we going this afternoon?" Hannah asked vaguely while gnawing on a chicken leg.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Cangzhou Museum is quite interesting. It houses many cultural relics and shows the development of Cangzhou from ancient times to the present. Let's go there and take a look!"

When Hannah heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "Great! I love visiting museums the most! You can see a lot of historical things, it feels like traveling through time and space!"

In the afternoon, the two came to the Cangzhou Museum. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the magnificent architecture and solemn atmosphere. People came and went in the museum, but everyone remained quiet, as if they were quietly listening to the voice of history.

Lu Yong and Hannah followed the signs and began their museum tour. The first thing they saw was some ancient pottery, which was still well preserved despite thousands of years of existence, with patterns and texts clearly visible on it.

"Look, this pottery is so beautiful!" Hannah said, pointing to a painted pottery jar.

Lu Yong took a closer look and said, "Well, this is ancient painted pottery. The patterns on it are very exquisite. It should be used to hold food."

The two continued walking forward and came to an exhibition area displaying ancient weapons. They saw a dazzling array of swords, spears, swords and halberds, which made people dazzled.

"Yongzi, look at this sword, it's so long!" Hannah said, pointing to a long sword.

Lu Yong walked over and took a look: "This sword should be an ancient war sword. Its length and weight are suitable for use on the battlefield. Look, there are inscriptions on the sword!"

Hannah asked curiously, "Inscription? What does it say?"

Lu Yong carefully identified it and said, "It seems to be the name and date of the craftsman who made this sword. People in ancient times were really particular about it!"

The two walked and looked around, stopping at every exhibition area to study it carefully. Sometimes, Hannah would ask some strange questions that made Lu Yong laugh and cry.

"Yongzi, look at this ancient clothing, it's so strange! Why are the sleeves so long?" Hannah asked, pointing at an ancient clothing.

Lu Yong smiled and explained: "This is an ancient formal dress. The long sleeves are to show solemnity and elegance. Think about it, people in ancient times paid great attention to etiquette, so of course they had to wear clothes that were more decent."

Hannah suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is! Then I want to try it on too!"

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "You can't wear it, this is ancient clothing, if you wear it now you will be laughed at."

Hannah stuck out her tongue. "I'm just saying! But, ancient clothes are really unique!"

The two continued walking forward and came to an exhibition area showing the development process of Cangzhou in modern times. There were a variety of photos, documents and real objects, which vividly showed the development process of Cangzhou from modern times to the present.

"Look, this photo is of Cangzhou's old town!" Hannah said, pointing to a photo.

When Lu Yong looked over, he saw that the old city of Cangzhou in the photo was dilapidated, with low houses and narrow streets.

"Wow, what a big change!" Hannah exclaimed, "Cangzhou is much more beautiful now than before!"

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, Cangzhou has developed rapidly in recent years, and the city has a brand new look. These photos and objects are the best testimony to this."

The two of them wandered around the museum for a whole afternoon, and left reluctantly until it closed. When they walked out of the museum, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, making them feel warm.

"Yongzi, we had so much fun today!" Hannah said, holding Lu Yong's hand.

Lu Yong smiled and responded: "Yes, Cangzhou is a great place! I will come back again if I have the chance!"

Hannah suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Yongzi, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I haven't had enough of Cangzhou's delicacies! How about we go eat the famous Cangzhou hotpot?" Hannah immediately became excited when she heard this: "Okay! I love hotpot the most! Let's go!"

The two walked hand in hand, singing and laughing all the way towards the Cangzhou Hot Pot Restaurant. In the setting sun, their shadows were stretched out, as if to put a perfect end to this wonderful time.

During dinner, the two sat around the hot pot, chatting while eating meat. Lu Yong talked about his childhood, while Hannah shared her experiences abroad. The two had a great time talking, as if they had endless things to say.

"Yongzi, do you know? Every day with you is happy." Hannah suddenly said seriously.

Lu Yong felt warm in his heart, looked into Hannah's eyes and said, "Me too, Hannah. With you by my side, I feel like the happiest person in the world."

The two smiled at each other and continued to enjoy this wonderful time.

They left the best memories on their last day in Cangzhou.

And this memory will become a treasure in their hearts forever.

On the day of leaving Cangzhou, Lu Yong and Hannah were both a little reluctant.

After all, that city left them with too many beautiful memories.

But that’s what traveling is all about, you always have to keep moving forward to explore more unknown beauty.

Their next stop was Wuhan, a city full of delicious food and hospitality.

The train slowly pulled into Wuhan Station. Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the station happily, carrying their luggage. Wuhan, they are here!

The hotel they had booked in advance was near the station, and the two checked in quickly. After putting down their luggage and taking a short rest, their stomachs began to growl. Hannah smiled and patted Lu Yong's stomach: "It seems that our stomachs can't wait to taste the delicious food in Wuhan!"

Lu Yong laughed: "What are you waiting for? Let's go to the snack street!"

The two held hands and walked excitedly to the snack street not far from the hotel. As soon as they stepped into the snack street, the bustle and noise hit them. The aroma of various delicacies intertwined together, making people salivate.

"Yongzi, what do you see there?" Hannah asked, pointing to a store where there was a long queue of people.

Lu Yong looked over and saw a few big words on the shop sign: "Authentic Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles". His eyes lit up: "Isn't this the Wuhan hot dry noodles we always wanted to try? Let's go and queue up!"

The two joined the queue and watched the people in front of them bringing out bowls of hot dry noodles. The aroma went straight into their noses, making them even more impatient.

Finally it was their turn. Lu Yong ordered two bowls of hot dry noodles, and specially added chili oil. After a while, two bowls of steaming hot dry noodles were served in front of them.

The noodles were chewy, topped with sesame sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and chili oil. The color and aroma were simply irresistible. Lu Yong and Hannah looked at each other, then picked up their chopsticks at the same time and began to devour the noodles.

"Wow, this hot dry noodles is so delicious!" Hannah exclaimed as she ate, "The noodles are so chewy, and the combination of sesame sauce and chili oil is simply amazing!"

Lu Yong also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this hot dry noodles is really as good as its reputation! We are so lucky to have such delicious food on our first stop in Wuhan!"

The two chatted while eating, and soon they finished two bowls of hot dry noodles. Hannah touched her stomach and said with a smile: "It's not enough, we have to keep eating!"

Lu Yong laughed: "No problem, there are so many delicious foods in Wuhan, let's try them slowly!"

The two continued to stroll along the snack street, when suddenly a burst of fragrance hit their noses. Lu Yong looked in the direction of the fragrance and saw a shop sign that read "Three Fresh Bean Curd Skin".

"Hannah, look what that is? Three-fresh bean curd skin, it seems to be one of the four famous snacks in Wuhan!" Lu Yong said excitedly.

Hannah's eyes lit up too: "Yes, I've heard of three-fresh bean curd skin and have always wanted to eat it! Let's go and try it!"

The two walked into the store and ordered a plate of three-fresh bean curd. After a while, a plate of golden, crispy and fragrant three-fresh bean curd was served in front of them.

Lu Yong and Hannah couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start to taste this delicacy. The bean curd skin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the filling inside was delicious, including shrimp, pork and mushrooms. Every bite was unforgettable.

"Wow, this three-fresh bean curd is so delicious!" Lu Yong exclaimed, "The bean curd is fried just right, and the filling is super delicious!"

Hannah also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is simply a feast for the taste buds! Wuhan's food is really great!"

The two chatted while eating, enjoying the satisfaction and happiness brought by this delicacy. After eating the three-fresh bean curd, they felt that it was not enough and decided to continue looking for delicious food in Wuhan.

As they walked, they came to a shop specializing in crayfish. There was a long queue in front of the shop, and people were waiting to taste this Wuhan specialty.

"Yongzi, look what that is? Crayfish! The crayfish in Wuhan are famous for their deliciousness!" Hannah said excitedly.

Lu Yong's eyes lit up as well: "Yes, I've heard of crayfish in Wuhan and have always wanted to eat it! Let's go and line up!"

The two joined the queue and watched the people in front of them bringing out pots of crayfish. The aroma and color were simply mouth-watering.

Finally it was their turn. Lu Yong ordered a large bowl of crayfish and also asked for iced beer. Soon, a bowl of red, fragrant crayfish and several bottles of iced beer were served to them.

Lu Yong and Hannah looked at each other, then put on their gloves at the same time and started to eat. The crayfish was tender and juicy, and paired with the special sauce, every bite was irresistible. The coolness of the iced beer and the deliciousness of the lobster were intertwined, which was simply refreshing.

"Wow, this crayfish is so delicious!" Hannah exclaimed as she ate it, "The meat is so tender and the sauce is so delicious!"

Lu Yong also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is simply a refreshing delicacy in summer! Paired with ice-cold beer, it is simply too refreshing!"

The two ate and talked, enjoying the satisfaction and happiness brought by this delicacy. Hannah suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Yongzi, do you know? Wuhan people are famous for their love of shrimp, and the production of crayfish ranks first in the country!"

Lu Yong laughed: "It seems we have come to the right place! This crayfish is simply the food calling card of Wuhan!"

The two continued to feast on the crayfish, and soon they finished the whole pot of crayfish. Lu Yong wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Hannah, what do you think of Wuhan?"

Hannah thought about it, and then said seriously: "Wuhan is great! There are many delicious foods, the people are friendly, and the city is full of vitality! I love it here!"

Lu Yong nodded, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
