Liu Lanhua put her arm around her, saying, "My parents brought you some watermelon sauce and beans, which will be perfect for you to eat with your rice."

"That's great! I've been craving this! It's just that I'm sorry to have troubled you, Auntie."

"No need for formalities! My parents asked me to bring you several outfits; go try them on in a bit..."

They lived a very leisurely life in Yanjing.

Every day, besides eating and drinking, I wandered around Beijing, visiting everything from the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth to Shichahai, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace.

At that time, the Palace Museum did not have many tourists. When Li Xiangdong and his group went inside, they encountered many foreigners.

They had cameras hanging around their necks and were snapping photos everywhere.

Inside the Forbidden City, there are people who take photos for tourists. It costs five yuan per photo, and you can get the photo after taking it.

Li Xiangdong took individual photos of himself, and finally, they took a group photo.

After leaving the Forbidden City, the group went to Fangshan Restaurant in Beihai Park.

"The chefs here are all descendants of the imperial chefs from the former palace. That's why it's called 'Fangshan' (仿膳), because it's made in imitation of imperial cuisine."

Li Xiangdong explained to the group, then spent a fortune ordering a table full of dishes.

Dishes like braised bear paw, egg drop soup with swallow's nest, and diced chicken with peach kernels are all considered main dishes.

However, the most popular items here are still a bunch of snacks.

Pea flour cake, kidney bean rolls, chestnut flour steamed buns, and meat-filled flatbread with a thick layer of minced beef filled the meal, leaving everyone with round bellies.

Liu Lanhua felt the cool breeze blowing from the lake, the sweet taste of pea flour cake still lingering in her mouth.

Hey, her dad was right after all. Now she feels that Guo Daming is not important at all.
