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

After coming down from Wanghai Temple, it was already late.

They walked down the mountain along another road, looking for a place to eat.

On the way down the mountain, they found a quiet stream.

The stream water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and it sparkles with silver light under the sunlight.

The stones by the stream are covered with moss, making them look particularly quaint.

Hannah excitedly ran to the stream, squatted down, touched the water with her hands, and said, "Lu Yong, this stream water is so cool and feels so comfortable."

Lu Yong also walked to the stream, looked at Hannah's happy face, and said with a smile: "Baby, do you want to wash your face and wake up?"

Hannah said mischievously, "Okay."

As she spoke, she scooped up a handful of stream water and splashed it on her face. Immediately, her face was splashed with crystal clear water.

Looking at her cute appearance, Lu Yong couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and take a few photos of her.

They played by the stream for a while and then continued down the mountain.

After a while, they arrived at a farm house at the foot of the mountain.

The owner of the farm house warmly invited them into the house to sit down and handed them the menu.

Lu Yong took the menu, handed it to Hannah, and said, "Baby, take a look at what you want to eat." Hannah looked at the menu and said, "I want to eat the farm dishes here, like stewed chicken, stir-fried wild vegetables, etc."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, let's order these and add some other things."

So they ordered a table full of dishes.

After a while, all the dishes were served.

The stewed local chicken is fragrant and the chicken is tender and juicy; the fried wild vegetables are green in color and have a refreshing taste.

The two of them ate and chatted, enjoying the meal very much, and soon they had finished most of the food on the table.

After eating and drinking, the sun is about to set.

The mountains in the distance become softer in the afterglow, as if they were carefully outlined by the magical painter of nature.

The trees in the mountains were also dyed orange-red, like burning flames, beautiful and dreamy.

Lu Yong stood up, walked to Hannah, stretched out his hand, and said gently: "Baby, let's go out for a walk and see the evening scenery of Beiputuo Mountain."

Hannah happily stood up and put her hand in Lu Yong's palm. The two of them held hands and strolled on the path outside the farm house.

The wild flowers on the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, as if nodding to them.

Occasionally, a few butterflies dance among the flowers, adding a touch of liveliness to this quiet evening.

Hannah pointed at the butterflies excitedly and said, "Lu Yong, look, those butterflies are so beautiful, just like flying flowers."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, baby, they are also attracted by this beautiful scenery."

As they walked, they came to an open meadow.

The grass on the lawn is green and sparkles with golden light under the setting sun.

Hannah let go of Lu Yong's hand and ran happily on the grass, her laughter echoing among the mountains.

Looking at her lively and lovely appearance, Lu Yong's mouth corners unconsciously rose and he ran over.

The two of them were laughing and playing on the grass, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood.

When they were tired of playing, they lay side by side on the grass and looked at the stars gradually emerging in the sky.

As night falls, the stars are like gems inlaid in the black sky, twinkling and emitting charming light.

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

The temperature in the mountains gradually dropped. Lu Yong was afraid that Hannah would catch a cold, so he stood up and pulled her up, saying, "Baby, we should go back. It's cold in the mountains at night. Don't catch a cold."

Hannah stood up reluctantly, looked back at the beautiful grass and the bright starry sky, and said, "I really don't want to leave here. Everything is so beautiful today."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "It's okay, baby. Let's go back to the hotel and rest now. There will be a new journey waiting for us tomorrow."

The two returned to the hotel hand in hand.

After returning to the room, Hannah simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

Hannah closed her eyes gently, a happy smile on her face.

Lu Yong lay beside her and held her gently in his arms.

"Lu Yong, let's not go to the tourist attractions today. I want to visit Jinzhou's specialty shops and buy some to bring back for my family and friends to try, so that they can feel the joy of our trip to Jinzhou." Hannah excitedly sat up from the bed early in the morning, her eyes sparkling like two twinkling stars, and she looked at Lu Yong with anticipation.

Lu Yong was rubbing his eyes in a daze. When he heard Hannah's words, he woke up instantly and said gently, "Okay, baby, you greedy little cat want to find delicious food again. But there are indeed many specialties in Jinzhou, so we have to pick them carefully."

Hannah stuck out her tongue mischievously: "I just want to bring the taste of Jinzhou back home. Hurry up and get up. Let's set off early."

The two of them quickly washed up, had a simple breakfast, and then went out with their backpacks.

The streets of Jinzhou are bustling with people.

Hannah was like a curious little explorer, looking around constantly. When she saw a stall selling special snacks on the street, she couldn't help but go over to take a look.

"Lu Yong, look at what this is? It looks delicious." Hannah asked, pointing at the steaming food on a stall.

The stall owner was a warm-hearted middle-aged man. He introduced with a smile: "Girl, this is Jinzhou's specialty Goubangzi smoked chicken. It's very fragrant. Would you like to try one?"

Lu Yong smiled and said to Hannah, "Baby, Goubangzi smoked chicken is a famous delicacy in Jinzhou. Let's buy one and try it. We can also take a few back with us."

Hannah's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, then I'll give you two."

The uncle skillfully wrapped the smoked chicken and handed it to Hannah. Hannah took it and was as happy as a child.

They continued walking forward and came to a street specializing in selling local specialties.

The shops on both sides of the street are full of various Jinzhou specialties.

Hannah was so excited that she took Lu Yong's hand and went into each store.

Walking into a store selling dry goods, Hannah was immediately attracted by the colorful dry goods on the shelves.

She picked up a bag of dried scallops, looked at them carefully, and asked Lu Yong: "Lu Yong, these dried scallops look so fresh, how about we buy some to make soup?"

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Baby, you have a good eye. The scallop soup is delicious. Let's buy some more."

The shop owner was a kind lady. When she heard what they said, she smiled and introduced: "Girls, boys, our scallops are freshly caught from the seaside and dried. The quality is very good. You can buy them with confidence."

Hannah chatted with the aunt and learned how to select and preserve scallops. The aunt also patiently taught her how to cook with scallops.

Hannah learned with great interest. In the end, she bought a large bag of scallops and asked her aunt to help her write a recipe for cooking.

After coming out of the dry goods store, they walked into a shop selling Jinzhou side dishes.

The store was filled with a strong aroma of sauce, and various side dishes were neatly placed on the shelves.

Hannah's mouth was watering as she looked at the tempting side dishes.

She picked up a bottle of shrimp sauce, opened the lid and smelled it, with an intoxicated expression on her face: "Wow, it smells so good, Lu Yong, let's buy some of this."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, baby, buy more if you like. Jinzhou side dishes have a long history and a unique taste. Your family and friends will definitely like them."

Hannah happily picked out various side dishes, including shrimp sauce side dishes, eight-treasure side dishes, pickled cucumbers, etc., and soon filled a big bag. While walking around, they came to a shop selling Jinzhou paper-cuts.

The shop is filled with all kinds of exquisite paper-cut works, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, people and landscapes. Each one is lifelike and amazing.

Hannah was attracted by a paper-cut work, which was a paper-cut depicting the beautiful scenery of Jinzhou's Bijia Mountain. The lines were smooth and the details were exquisite, as if the beautiful scenery of Bijia Mountain was cut onto the paper.

She said to Lu Yong excitedly: "Lu Yong, look at this paper-cut, it's so beautiful. Let's buy it and hang it on the wall. It will definitely be a memorable experience."

Lu Yong nodded: "Good idea, honey, Jinzhou paper-cutting is an intangible cultural heritage and has great collection value."

They chatted with the shop owner, learned about the paper-cutting craftsmanship and the cultural stories behind it, and finally bought the paper-cutting work. They also selected some other styles of paper-cutting to give to relatives and friends.

Around noon, they were a little tired from shopping, so they found a snack bar on the street and sat down to rest.

There were a lot of people in the snack bar, and they ordered Jinzhou's specialties, fire shao and mutton soup.

The skin of the fire dumpling is crispy and the filling is soft and tender. The mutton soup is delicious and rich. One sip of it will warm your whole body.

After lunch, they continued to stroll along the specialty street.

Walking into a shop selling Jinzhou blankets, Hannah was attracted by the soft texture of the blankets.

She stroked a blanket, feeling its delicate touch, and said, "Lu Yong, this blanket is so comfortable. Let's buy one and take it home. It will definitely keep us warm in the winter."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, baby, Jinzhou blankets are of good quality and beautiful styles. Let's pick one."

They spent a long time choosing in the store and finally selected a blanket with Jinzhou’s characteristic pattern. The owner also carefully helped them wrap the blanket.

As the sun gradually set, their backpacks became heavier and heavier, filled with all kinds of Jinzhou specialties.

Hannah was a little tired. She leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder and said, "Lu Yong, we have such a rich harvest today. I feel like I am almost a porter of Jinzhou's specialties."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Baby, these are all carefully selected by you. When you go back and share them with your family and friends, they will definitely be very happy. This can also be regarded as a unique souvenir of our trip to Jinzhou."

Just as they were about to leave the specialty street, Hannah suddenly saw a stall selling handmade woven products on the street.

The stalls are filled with various small items woven with colored threads, including bracelets, pendants, key chains, etc. Each one is small and exquisite and full of creativity.

Hannah was attracted at once. She squatted in front of the stall and selected carefully.

"Girl, these are all hand-woven by me. Take a look and see which one you like?" The stall owner was a young girl, and she said to Hannah with a smile.

Hannah picked up a bunny pendant woven with colorful threads and couldn't let it go: "This is so cute, I want one."

Lu Yong also squatted down to help Hannah choose, and finally they bought some small pendants and bracelets.

Hannah said happily: "These little things are so unique. When I go back and give them to my friends, they will definitely like them."

After leaving the stall, they took a taxi back to the hotel.

Back in the room, Hannah couldn't wait to spread out all the specialties she bought on the bed and sort them out one by one.

She took the Goubangzi smoked chicken and said to Lu Yong, "Lu Yong, when we go back, we can share this smoked chicken with our family and friends. It must be very delicious."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, baby, we'll tell them about our interesting experiences in Jinzhou later."

Hannah picked up the paper-cut again and said, "I will keep it well. When I see it in the future, it will remind me of the good times we had in Jinzhou."

After sorting out the specialties, Hannah felt a little tired, so she lay down on the bed to rest.

Before long, Hannah suddenly sat up and said, "Lu Yong, let's go to Jinzhou's night market tonight. Maybe we can find more delicious and fun things to eat."

Lu Yong looked at her excited look and smiled helplessly: "Okay, baby, as long as you are happy, we will go."

Hannah jumped up on the bed happily: "Yeah, that's great, Lu Yong you are so nice."

As night falls, the streets of Jinzhou are brightly lit, with a wide variety of snack stalls and handicraft stalls.

Hannah held Lu Yong's hand and walked among the crowd.

They first came to a stall selling grilled squid. The aroma of the grilled squid was so tempting that it made people salivate.

Hannah bought two skewers of grilled squid and ate them while walking with Lu Yong.

"Lu Yong, this grilled squid is so delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of flavor."

Hannah said as she ate. Lu Yong smiled and said, "Baby, eat slowly, don't choke."

They walked to a stall selling sugar paintings and watched the stall owner skillfully draw various patterns on the stone slab with syrup. Hannah was amazed: "Wow, that's amazing, Lu Yong, let's draw one too."

Lu Yong nodded, and they asked the stall owner to draw a heart-shaped sugar painting. Hannah held the sugar painting and was as happy as a child.

At the night market, they also saw many performances, including acrobatics, magic shows and so on.

Hannah watched with great interest and clapped and cheered from time to time.

Lu Yong protected her from being squeezed by the crowd.

As they were strolling around, they came to a shop selling Jinzhou's specialty handicrafts.

The shop is filled with a faint woody scent, and the shelves are filled with handicrafts of various shapes and unique craftsmanship.

There are wooden ornaments carved based on the ancient towers in Jinzhou, which are simple and elegant, and every line seems to be telling the story of time; there are also those carefully spliced ​​together with shells, which are colorful and show the coastal style of Jinzhou to the fullest.

Hannah's eyes lit up instantly, like two light bulbs. She walked around the shop excitedly, picking up a handicraft from time to time to examine it carefully.

"Lu Yong, look at this ancient wooden tower. It is so delicately carved that I can even see the focused expressions of the ancient craftsmen when they were carving it." Hannah carefully held an ancient wooden tower and spoke softly, her eyes full of admiration.

Lu Yong stepped forward, smiled and nodded: "Yes, baby, this craftsmanship is really amazing. It is very meaningful to make such a beautiful ornament of Jinzhou's landmark building and bring it back to our home."

Hannah picked up another shell decoration and gently turned it under the light. The shells sparkled with colorful light, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off it.

"Lu Yong, this shell painting is so beautiful. It feels like the entire sea of ​​Jinzhou is contained in this painting. Let's buy one and hang it in the living room. Every time I see it, it will feel like I'm back on the beach in Jinzhou."

The shop owner is a gray-haired but energetic old man. He came over with a smile and introduced enthusiastically: "Girls, boys, you have good taste. These handicrafts are all made by me, and I have put my heart and soul into each one. Jinzhou has a profound cultural heritage, and these works are meant to show the beauty of our Jinzhou to more people."

Hannah was fascinated by what she heard. She put down the shell painting, took the old man's hand, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, how long have you been making these handicrafts? How did you come up with the idea of ​​using these materials to express the characteristics of Jinzhou?"

The old man sat on a chair nearby and slowly told his story: "I grew up in Jinzhou since I was a child, and I have feelings for every tree and grass here. When I was young, I liked to tinker with these handicrafts. Later, when I retired, I wanted to use my skills to preserve the beauty of Jinzhou and let more people know about our Jinzhou. This wooden ancient tower was carved out bit by bit according to the famous ancient tower in Jinzhou. Every cut must be made carefully, otherwise the overall feeling will be ruined. For this shell painting, I picked up a lot of beautiful shells at the beach, and then pieced them together according to their shapes and colors."

Hannah listened attentively, with admiration in her eyes: "Grandpa, you are amazing. These handicrafts are not only works of art, but also your deep love for Jinzhou. We must buy a few more to let more people see the beauty of Jinzhou."

Lu Yong also echoed: "Yes, uncle, your craftsmanship should be known to more people. These works are very collectible."

Finally, Hannah and Lu Yong carefully selected several handicrafts, including ancient wooden towers, shell decorative paintings, and several small sachets sewn with Jinzhou's specialty fabrics.

The old man happily packed the things and gave them two small bookmarks he had made himself, which were engraved with some scenic patterns of Jinzhou.

Coming out of the shop, the night market is still bustling with laughter echoing in every corner of the street.

Hannah and Lu Yong held hands and walked slowly towards the hotel.

Back in the hotel room, Hannah sorted out the things she bought one by one.

She placed the wooden pagoda on the desk in the room, hung the shell decoration on the wall, and placed the small sachet next to the pillow. The whole room was instantly filled with the atmosphere of Jinzhou. She lay on the bed, looking at these items full of memories, and her heart was warm.

"Lu Yong, I was lying on the bed, looking at these things, and it was as if I had visited every place I visited in Jinzhou today again. The delicious food, the fun things, and the enthusiastic people I met all made me feel very happy." Hannah said softly.

Lu Yong lay beside her and hugged her gently: "Baby, this is the meaning of traveling, to bring back all the good memories, so that you will feel warm when you think of them in the future."

In the warm atmosphere, the two gradually fell asleep. (End of this chapter)
