Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

As night falls, the lights are on.

Su Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, looking at the night view of Lanzhou city, with flashing neon lights and heavy traffic.

The Yellow River not far away, under the reflection of the lights, looks like a winding silver dragon, flowing quietly in the night.

The height of the 22nd floor is enough to overlook most of Lanzhou City. The Baita Mountain in the distance is brightly lit, the colorful lights are flowing on the Zhongshan Bridge nearby, and the high-rise buildings on both sides of the Yellow River are brightly lit, making the whole city look particularly vibrant.

"As expected of a city called Lanhattan, the night view is really pretty good tonight!" Su Chen whispered to himself.

After looking out for a while, Su Chen turned around and looked at Fade Chen who was standing quietly beside him. He asked, "Are Su Yan and the others not back yet?"

The young couple went to check out some small attractions in Lanzhou city in the morning, saying they would only visit for two or three hours at most, but what was the result?
The two had not returned until seven o'clock in the evening. If I hadn't seen Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu posting selfies on their Moments from time to time, I would have thought that something had happened to them.

"We should be here soon. Su Yan sent me a message saying he was on his way back." Chen Fei looked down at his watch. "It will probably take only a few minutes to get to the hotel."

Su Chen nodded upon hearing this, "Let's go, I think we have arrived at the hotel lobby, and Su Yan and the others should have arrived as well."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door. Seeing this, Fade Chen quickly picked up the thin coat on the sofa and quickly followed him.

Although it is summer now and we may feel a little hot during the day, the temperature at night is like jumping off a cliff, and it is common for it to drop by more than ten degrees.

Especially in the early morning, the wind blowing on the body can make people shiver uncontrollably.

This was also the experience Chen Fei gained after walking along Binhai Road last night.

As soon as I came out of the elevator, I saw Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu carrying large and small bags and walking into the hotel. Although they both looked tired, there was a faint smile on the corners of their mouths.

It looks like they had a lot of fun going out today.

"How many classics have you visited?" Su Chen glanced at the bags in the two people's hands and could tell at a glance that they were filled with cultural and creative products from various scenic spots.

The most eye-catching one is the one Su Yan is holding in his hand. The four big characters "Mother Yellow River" are clearly written on the outer packaging. It goes without saying that it is a scaled-down sculpture of the Mother Yellow River.

Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu looked at each other, and both showed an embarrassed smile on their faces. "We didn't go very far. We just went to see the Yellow River Mother Statue, the Yellow River Building, Baitashan Park, and the Gansu Provincial Museum..."

When talking about museums, Su Yan thought of something strange and quickly shared it, "Brother, do you know that I saw the Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow that was introduced in the books before in the museum. I thought it was very beautiful."

"I went to see the real thing today. Guess what?" Su Yan asked Su Chen with an expression that said "Brother, you will never guess it."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He had only seen the photo of Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow when he was in school, so he didn't know the specific details.

He was not the kind of person who pretended to know everything and couldn't put down his pride, so he simply asked directly: "Okay, stop showing off and tell me what this Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow is all about."

Hearing this, Su Yan smiled smugly, "Hey, brother, if you were to watch it live, you would definitely laugh out loud."

As he spoke, Su Yan took out the cell phone from his pocket and searched through the photos he had taken in the museum. After finding the one of Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow, he handed the phone to Su Chen.

"Hmm?" Su Chen took the phone with a hint of curiosity. When he saw the front photo of Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow taken by Su Yan, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

Who can tell him why the front of this Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow is so ugly... ugly yet cute, in short, ugly-cute!
Su Chen now understood why the photos in the previous books were taken from the side. If they were taken from the front, he didn't know how many people would laugh at him.

"Brother, this is the cultural and creative plush toy of Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow that we bought. We also brought one for you and Brother Xiaofei!" At this time, Lin Xiaoyu, who was standing aside, took out a plush toy from the bag he was carrying and said.

Looking at the stuffed toy that Lin Xiaoyu handed over, especially the horse with its head tilted and grinning, Su Chen had the urge to hit it on the head a few times.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Su Chen handed the phone to Su Yan, "You go back to the room and put your things away first, and then we will go to the Zhengning Road Night Market. It is said that there are many delicious Lanzhou delicacies there."

When Su Chen mentioned food, Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu's stomachs started to growl at an inopportune time.

Before, the two were still in the excited stage of playing and did not feel hungry, but now that they had relaxed, after hearing what Su Chen said, they suddenly felt so hungry that they could eat a whole pig.

"Brother, please wait for us, two minutes at most!" After saying that, Su Yan took Lin Xiaoyu's hand and walked into the elevator in a hurry.

……

The Zhengning Road Night Market is not far from the Hyatt Hotel where Su Chen and his friends are staying. If you walk along the riverside road, it will only take 20 to 30 minutes.

Originally Su Chen was planning to walk there, but when he saw the tired looks on Su Yan and his wife's faces, he just took a taxi.

As soon as I got off the car, I was hit by the hustle and bustle. At this time, the Zhengning Road Night Market was already very lively, and the colorful lights illuminated the entire street like daylight.

The shouts of vendors, the laughter of diners, and the metallic sounds of spatulas colliding together form a unique night market symphony.

"Kebabs! Fresh kebabs!"

“Stuffed rice cake! Spicy and sour stuffed rice cake!”

"Gray beans! So sweet that your teeth will fall out!"

Amid the constant hawking, all kinds of aromas rushed into the noses of the crowd, including the burnt aroma of barbecued meat, the soft and spicy lamb trotters, the fermented glutinous rice wine with milk and eggs...

Smelling these aromas, even Su Chen felt his appetite whetted, and he prepared to visit the night market and satisfy his taste buds.

"Do we want to go shopping separately or together?" Su Chen turned around to look at Su Yan and his wife behind him and asked with a smile.

Su Yan rubbed his hungry stomach, his eyes already glued to the greasy grilled lamb skewers not far away, "Brother, how about we split up first? Xiaoyu and I are starving, we want to get some solid food to fill our stomachs first!"

Lin Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly. If Su Chen hadn’t been here, she would have already rushed to those snack stalls.

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded gently, and did not forget to remind: "There are many people in the night market here, remember to take your valuables such as mobile phones with you! If you encounter any problems, call us in time."

Su Yan repeatedly said that he understood, then took Lin Xiaoyu's hand and merged into the crowd, disappearing from their sight in an instant.

"Let's go and find some delicious food!"

As the crowd moved slowly, Su Chen's attention was soon attracted by a stall.

There was a long queue in front of a stall, and an old Hui man wearing a white hat was busy in front of a large copper pot.

There was a milky white liquid bubbling in the copper pot. Su Chen moved his nose and smelled a pure milky aroma.

Before Su Chen could think about it, he saw the old man skillfully beat the eggs and sprinkle in raisins, sesame seeds and various nuts, making the originally pure milk flavor even more tempting.

Only then did Su Chen see the sign on the stall, "Lao Ma's Milk and Egg Wine"!
Su Chen had eaten egg fermented glutinous rice before. After all, one of the specialties of his hometown Fuzhou is fermented glutinous rice. Almost every household makes fermented glutinous rice, and he has been eating it since he was a child.

But it was the first time that he had seen egg fermented glutinous rice made with milk. The curiosity in his heart made Su Chen join the queue. "Hey, this old Ma's egg fermented glutinous rice with milk is quite famous. It has even been on the tip of the tongue before." Chen Fei, who was following behind Su Chen, looked at the content on his phone and exclaimed.

"Is it so famous?" Su Chen turned around and looked at Chen Fei's mobile phone. He browsed it and found that it was indeed as Chen Fei said.

For a moment, Su Chen's anticipation for this milk and egg fermented glutinous rice wine was instantly filled.

He had watched the documentary "A Taste of China" before. It recorded the delicacies of many regions, all of which were very representative of the local areas, otherwise they would not be qualified to be shown on TV.

The team moved forward very quickly. Perhaps because everything was cooked in one pot, they didn't have to wait too long and soon it was Su Chen and his group's turn.

"Two, twenty!"

After scanning the code swiftly, Su Chen took over two bowls of steaming milk and egg fermented glutinous rice wine. The eggs were not the whole eggs he had eaten before, but were beaten into egg flowers.

Smelling the tempting sweet aroma, he handed Chen Fei a bowl, found an empty table and sat down, unable to wait to taste it.

"Hmm~ This tastes good!" Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

The mellowness of milk and the sweet and sour taste of fermented glutinous rice are perfectly blended, and the smoothness of egg drops, the slight sourness of raisins and the crispness of sesame seeds and dried fruits are intertwined on the tip of the tongue, forming a rich taste.

"It's really delicious!" Chen Fei couldn't help but praise, "This is the best egg fermented glutinous rice wine I've ever eaten. It's sweet but not greasy, warms the stomach and feels comfortable!"

Su Chen nodded and took a few more sips. His eyes then fell on the row of golden roasted lamb trotters on the stall next door. The skin was so crispy that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"Let's go and try the charcoal-grilled lamb's trotters!" Su Chen finished the egg fermented glutinous rice wine in a few gulps, stood up and walked towards the stall selling roasted lamb's trotters.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a full beard. When he saw the two of them coming, he greeted them enthusiastically, "Handsome, would you like spicy lamb trotters or grilled lamb trotters? We have a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors, and I guarantee you'll want more!"

Su Chen was also familiar with the spicy lamb trotters. It was not much different from the spicy braised ones. He had eaten it before when he was in Inner Mongolia and was not too curious about it. Instead, it was the charcoal-grilled lamb trotters that attracted Su Chen's attention.

"Are your charcoal-grilled lamb trotters marinated first?" Su Chen observed for a while before looking up at the boss and asked.

The bearded boss was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Su Chen was up to, but he still explained truthfully: "Well, it's similar to spicy lamb trotters, except that it's charcoal grilled and has some barbecue ingredients!"

"Then give me two... no, four charcoal-grilled lamb trotters to try and see if they are as delicious as you said, boss!" Su Chen initially thought of ordering only two, but when he saw the little meat on the lamb trotters, he was afraid that he would finish them in just three or two bites.

"Okay, handsome guys, you sit down for a while. It will be done in two minutes at most!" Hearing that Su Chen wanted four people, the bearded boss hurriedly asked Su Chen and the others to sit down.

At the same time, his hands did not stop at all. He quickly took out four lamb trotters from the pot and started roasting them.

The bearded boss was indeed very fast. Just as he said, in less than two minutes, four charcoal-grilled lamb trotters were placed in front of Su Chen and the others.

Looking at the soft and chewy lamb's trotters on the table, sprinkled with chili powder and cumin, makes people particularly appetizing.

Chen Fei's eyes were almost fixed on the grilled lamb trotters, which made Su Chen want to laugh.

"Okay, let's eat!" Su Chen took a pair of gloves and put them on, then picked up a sheep's trotter and started eating.

The lamb's trotters are roasted to perfect temperature, with a crispy outer skin and a rich, gelatinous interior. The spicy flavor of the barbecue ingredients and the lamb's trotters explodes in your mouth, with a spicy and numb taste that leaves a long-lasting aftertaste!
"This charcoal-grilled lamb's trotter is absolutely amazing!" Chen Fei praised incoherently with his mouth full of oil.

Su Chen swallowed the meat in his mouth and shouted to the busy bearded boss: "Boss, give me four more grilled lamb trotters!"

"Okay!" The bearded boss smiled a little more when he heard this.

At this time, Su Chen noticed two diners at the next table. In addition to lamb's trotters, there were two bowls of steaming lamb offal soup on their table. They felt so satisfied eating them with the lamb's trotters.

After asking around, he found out that the mutton offal was bought from the two stalls in front. Su Chen immediately gave Chen Fei a look and asked him to buy two portions.

Chen Fei smacked his lips and looked at the grilled lamb trotters on the table with a reluctant look, as if Su Chen would finish eating it as soon as he left.

Su Chen was so angry that he immediately scolded with a smile: "Eat, eat, eat. I'll let you eat enough today. If you want to eat more later, just let the boss do it."

"Hehe~ Boss, you said it!" Chen Fei walked towards the mutton offal stall mentioned by the diners with a happy face.

Seeing this, Su Chen shook his head helplessly and continued to taste the delicious lamb's trotters.

Before Su Chen finished eating a charcoal-grilled lamb's hoof, he saw Chen Fei trotting back with two bowls of lamb offal soup that Su Chen had asked him to buy.

"Aren't you moving too fast? Is the mutton offal stall not doing good business?" Looking at Fade Chen who was a little out of breath, Su Chen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Fade Chen placed a bowl of mutton soup in front of Su Chen, and said proudly, "Business is good. There's a long queue, at least 20 to 30 people."

"Um... about twenty or thirty people? Why did you come back in less than two minutes?" Although Su Chen did not check the time, judging from the speed at which he was chewing the sheep's trotter, the time was about the same.

"Hehe~ I'll just find the first person in line and ask him to buy two for me, and I'll pay for his share as well." After saying this, Chen Fei looked at Su Chen with an expression that said "Am I very smart?"

"You are really good at taking shortcuts!" Su Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and turned his gaze to the mutton offal soup in front of him. Green chopped green onions floated on the milky white soup. He picked up the spoon and took a sip.

The soup is delicious and mellow, and the mutton offal is processed very well, without any smell of mutton, but with a light milky aroma, which shows that the ingredients used in this mutton offal stall are indeed very good.

"This Zhengning Road Night Market is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

The thought that he had only tried the delicacies from three stalls made his eyes light up. What kind of surprises would the remaining dozens of stalls have? Thinking of this, Su Chen quickened his pace.

After eating the lamb's trotters, Su Chen and his friends went straight to another stall. Before leaving, Fade Chen asked the bearded boss to pack four grilled lamb's trotters, saying that they were for Su Yan and his friends.

Next, Su Chen and the other person visited many stalls and indeed found many delicious snacks, which they tasted one by one.

It’s just that I didn’t eat to my heart’s content like before.

After all, after drinking a bowl of milk and egg fermented glutinous rice, four charcoal-grilled lamb trotters and a bowl of lamb offal soup, I was basically 70% full, so I just tasted the other delicacies and snacks.

After strolling for a while, Su Chen and his friends met Su Yan and his wife. They had eaten a lot of delicious snacks and their stomachs were full, so they just followed Su Chen and his friends to stroll around.

An interesting thing happened during this period. Chen Fei handed the four grilled lamb trotters in his hand to Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu reluctantly under Su Chen's teasing gaze.

After Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu tasted the grilled lamb's trotters, they finished all four of them even though they were already very full.

Chen Fei's pitiful expression at that time made Su Chen laugh non-stop whenever he thought about it.

Finally, everyone decided to go back to the lamb trotters stall before leaving Zhengning Road Night Market and pack 15 grilled lamb trotters to take back to the hotel as a midnight snack. (End of this chapter)
