Chu Beichen flicked Su Nian's forehead lightly: "Why don't you put on your clothes properly? Are you still trying to show off?"

Su Nian's face wrinkled under her scarf. She never thought that the night in Dunhuang would be so cold. "No!"

Su Nian's voice was muffled by the heavy scarf, making it sound unclear. Chu Beichen smiled and approached her, "Little bear, what did you say?"

Su Nian refused and chased Chu Beichen, waving her long coat sleeves. The two chased and played in the silent night.

The nights in Dunhuang were extremely quiet. If it weren't for the warm lights on in the small buildings along the road, Su Nian would have almost thought that the city was uninhabited.

She was about to ask Chu Beichen why no one came out when the two of them had already turned the intersection. Suddenly, the scene in front of her eyes lit up, and the voices, heat, fragrance and the smell of alcohol all hit her in the face.

The entrance to the night market is made into an antique wooden sculpture with pictures of camel travelers and the eight big characters "Silk Road" and "Dunhuang Night Market" engraved on it.

Chu Beichen pulled Su Nian into the night market entrance, then helped her loosen her scarf and scratched her nose with a smile: "Smell it, this is the smell of Dunhuang!"

The air was filled with a fragrant aroma, and Su Nian said happily: "This smell is barbecue? Right?"

Chu Beichen didn't answer and pulled Su Nian forward. The entire night market was wrapped in a plastic greenhouse and divided into many small compartments. Each small compartment sold different delicacies.

However, the most common thing along the way is barbecue! And it is roasted whole lamb!

On the hot charcoal grill, a roasted lamb was flipped, its skin golden and crispy, emitting an enticing aroma. There were many low tables in the stall, and every one of them was filled with customers enjoying barbecue.

"I was wondering why there were no people on the streets. It turns out they all came to the night market!" Su Nian suddenly realized.

"Yeah, it gets dark early here. People don't want to cook after work, so they eat out!" Chu Beichen pointed to the other side, where there were many bungalows. "Those are noodle shops. You can order a barbecue and two bowls of noodles!"

The aroma in the air became stronger and stronger. Su Nian could no longer hold back. She rubbed her hands anxiously, "Beichen, let's sit down and have a taste too!"

Chu Beichen smiled and reached out to tug at Su Nian's ponytail. "Of course. Come, I know a place called Lao Ma BBQ that's really good!"

He pulled Su Nian and weaved through many small barriers, and soon they arrived at a barbecue stall. This place was indeed different from other stalls. The night market had just opened, and other people's roasted lamb was almost whole, but only half of his roasted lamb was left.

Chu Beichen pulled Su Nian to sit down and looked at the roasted lamb: "Fortunately, the delicious food is still there!"

"Boss, we want half a pound of lamb chops, two roasted lamb trotters, and one front leg!" Chu Beichen ordered all in one breath.

The boss agreed promptly: "Okay!" He held a sharp knife in his hand and cut from the parts Chu Beichen mentioned one by one, then weighed it and put the barbecue into a large iron plate.

Chu Beichen walked over, paid, and came back with the plate, "Come and try it, this mutton can only be eaten in Dunhuang!"

Su Nian imitated Chu Beichen and dipped the sliced ​​barbecue into the seasoning in the small dish before putting it into her mouth.

The skin of the grilled meat is crispy, and the lamb is roasted until it is tender and almost melts in the mouth. The seasoning contains cumin, chili, and fine salt, which just dilutes the fat of the lamb, leaving only the mellow fragrance that spreads on the tip of the tongue.

Su Nianxiang almost swallowed her tongue!
