A few days after returning to Lin Hai's home from the Ta Lo Mystic Realm, the pace of life became soothing and warm. The four of them fulfilled their plan of "accompanying Lin's father and Lin's mother for a few days" well and enjoyed the pure family atmosphere.
Mother Lin tried her best to prepare delicious food for them. Although it was not as powerful as Ta Lo's ingredients, the homely taste and the spicy and spicy aroma unique to Sichuan cuisine still made Gwen, Peter and Harry rave about it.
Father Lin became their exclusive tour guide, taking them around their home, through the streets and alleys, in search of authentic delicacies hidden deep in the city that only local gourmets knew about.
They tasted the Crab Roe Soup Dumplings with piping hot soup, delicious fillings, and juicy mouthfuls; they tasted the Dan Dan Noodles and Couple's Slices, which are spicy and fragrant, rich in ingredients, and make people sweat on their foreheads but can't stop using their chopsticks; they tasted the Spicy Rabbit Head (Rabbit Na), which is bright red in color, soft and bone-free, and has endless aftertaste. So cute, of course it needs to be spicy and spicy); I also fell in love with the sweet, soft and glutinous Sugar Oil Fruit, sprinkled with soybean powder and brown sugar juice... Various snacks and dishes with unique flavors, affordable prices and extremely delicious, completely conquered the taste buds of Gwen, Peter and Harry.
Even Harry, who usually pays the most attention to diet and health, couldn't help but take Lin Hai to sneak out for a street barbecue late at night. When he came back, Gwen noticed that he smelled faintly of fireworks, and was "ridiculed" mercilessly.
Peter completely let himself go, often stuffing two different kinds of food into his mouth at the same time, and said vaguely to Lin Hai: "Man, I now seriously doubt that you made a wrong decision when you chose to study abroad at New York? This is simply paradise!"
Although Gwen eats relatively restrainedly, every time she tastes a new delicacy, her bright eyes and slightly narrowed expression of happiness silently tell her enjoyment.
She even began to seriously ask Mrs. Lin for advice on how to make some simple Sichuan dishes. She took a small notebook and wrote down key words such as "doubanjiang", "sichuan pepper", and "minced ginger and garlic", and planned to try to reproduce it after returning to New York.
During this period, Lin Hai also took the time to do a "little thing". He used the excuse that some souvenirs brought to Master needed to be mailed in advance, but in fact, he quietly opened a door to in the room. New York Chen-Style Chinese Medicine Clinic The small Portal in the backyard - just big enough for him to pass over the heavy backpacks stuffed with Ta Lo mountain delicacies, medicinal materials, dried meat and secret spices.
Chen Bing, who was doing daily exercise in the backyard, saw the sudden appearance of a golden spark circle and the large and small bags handed out from it. He was startled at first, and then he saw Lin Hai's head leaning towards him, and then he picked it up and laughed and cursed, "You brat, call me in advance next time something like this happens. I can't withstand your scare."
Lin Hai chuckled and quickly explained that these were Ta Lo's good things. This way, they can easily travel on subsequent trips and save themselves the trouble of cross-border shipping. If their parents ask later, they only need to say that the things have been sent to Master through special channels.
Happy time always flies by. Seeing that the balance of the winter vacation is seriously insufficient, and there is only one week left before Midtown High School starts school, Lin Hai proposes the next plan to his parents.
"Dad, Mom, we plan to leave tomorrow." Lin Hai said at the dinner table, "We plan to go to Mount Qingcheng to see Daoist culture and Chengdu Giant Panda Base according to the original plan. has a look at Yuanyuanguan, and then goes to Leshan Giant Buddha to experience it, and taste delicious food from various places along the way. It is estimated that it will take a few days on the road, and then rush back to New York before school starts."
Although Lin's father and Lin's mother were a little reluctant to give up, they had known about it for a long time, and they also understood and supported young people to go out and see more. Lin's mother quickly warned, "Okay, go, go, pay attention to safety! Do you have enough money? Pay attention to what you eat, don't just eat spicy and cold things, be careful with your stomach..."
Father Lin couldn't help but worry about the itinerary of several people. "Has the route been planned? Do you want me to help you contact a local tour guide? Mount Qingcheng It's still a bit tiring to climb up."
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, we have everything planned." Lin Hai smiled and comforted, "The car has also been rented. It is a special car from a regular company. The driver is very familiar with the route. We will pay attention to safety."
Early the next morning, they said goodbye to Father and Mother Lin, who had been warned repeatedly. The four of them took their light luggage and boarded a spacious and comfortable business car that Lin Hai had rented in advance.
An experienced and cheerful local driver was waiting for them, and he spoke very interestingly about Trump. In the next few days, the four of them were completely immersed in the tour of Sichuan-Shu's magnificent natural scenery and cultural landscapes.
In Mount Qingcheng, they walked along the quiet mountain road, felt the Daoist fairyland atmosphere of "Qingcheng Tianxia", and visited ancient Daoist temples. Peter also imitated the Daoist priests and bowed their heads awkwardly, which made everyone laugh.
At Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, they saw various adorable behaviors from fluffy cubs to adult Giant Panda lazily chewing bamboo. Peter couldn't move while holding the camera, wishing to stuff all the round balls into the memory card. Harry became very interested in the base's modern scientific research and conservation facilities and chatted with a researcher who could speak English for a long time.
At the foot of Leshan Giant Buddha, they took a boat to look up at the majestic and solemn Giant Buddha of the Tang Dynasty, which was carved into the mountain. They felt the shock of the weight of history spanning thousands of years and the pious faith of mankind, and were speechless for a long time.
Of course, food is still the highlight. They tried Long Chao Shou, Zhong Dumplings, Han Buns, Three Artillery at Chengdu and other famous snacks; experienced the wilder Qiaojiao Beef and Sweet-Skin Duck at Leshan; tried the Daoist-style health banquet at the feet of Mount Qingcheng...
This trip was so fulfilling that it was almost "crazy". In order to experience as much as possible in the limited time, they went on a "runaway" almost every day, and often went shopping late at night to taste night market delicacies.
The result is that even if they sleep less than six hours a day, they still feel unfinished at the end of the trip. They feel that there are still too many places they haven't had time to visit and too many delicious foods they haven't had time to taste.
Finally, one day before the start of school at Midtown High School, the four of them returned to Chen-Style Chinese Medicine Clinic at New York through Portal with full harvest and deep exhaustion.
At this moment, their only thought is: Go home quickly! Fall down on their own soft and comfortable bed! Sleep until the end of the night!
Chen Bing heard the commotion and walked out of the house. When he saw the four children with "empty bodies" on their faces, he couldn't help but laugh, "You're back? You've been playing crazy, right? You all look tired."
"Master..." Lin Hai said hello feebly, "We are going back to catch up on our sleep first. We will leave everything here with you and we will talk about it later..."
Gwen, Peter and Harry also forced out a tired smile and waved to Master Chen. The four of them did not stay any longer and simply said goodbye to each other in the backyard of the clinic.
"See you at school..."
"Huh~ I have to sleep for 24 hours..."
"Good night~ Although it is noon at New York..."
Then, they each headed towards home, dragging heavy steps, but with an extremely fulfilling and wonderful winter vacation memory, they couldn't wait to rush to the bed they had missed for a long time. For them, the end of this winter vacation must be marked by a hearty and deep sleep.
