This time, Ye Dasao also agreed with Ye Sansao's opinion and said, "The child has been taken away, why are you still thinking so much? Let's take the child out for a good walk this afternoon and then have something delicious to eat in the evening."
Lin Yumei agreed and nodded, "I understand. Thanks to you for helping me make a decision this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."
"You were too soft-hearted before." Mrs. Ye San said, reaching out to touch Wang Hao's head, "It's okay for us adults to suffer a little, but we can't let the children suffer.
"Come on, Third Aunt will take you out for some delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao quickly said, "Third Aunt, we've already had lunch. Dad took us to a restaurant and we had a full meal!"
As he spoke, he patted his belly.
"Let's go shopping first, and then go eat some snacks on the street. Then you'll be able to eat more."
"What are snacks?" The two children became curious when they heard this.
"Oh, there are all kinds of snacks in Beijing. If you ask me, I really don't know what to say. You will know when we get there."
Four women, along with their two children, first took a stroll along the busiest stretch of the capital.
The children’s eyes were almost not enough and everything they saw seemed new and interesting.
After walking down the street, although I didn’t buy anything, I had almost digested the lunch I had.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye waved her hand and said, "Let's go to Snack Alley."
The so-called snack alley is actually an alley with shops along the street.
Since nearly 80% of the shops on this street are restaurants, it attracts many people who come here with their shoulders on their shoulders to sell snacks.
The surrounding restaurants and hotels are not opposed to this, but rather welcome it, and everyone helps each other to attract customers.
Some people who come to eat here and have no place to sit after buying snacks will just find a random shop on the roadside to sit for a while and spend some money.
Many people who eat in the restaurant often ask for a bowl of snacks through the window to satisfy their cravings.
Some people would also give the waiter a few copper coins and ask him to help sell something.
And because food is sold here, it has become famous over time. People call this place Snack Alley, and those who want to eat and drink will make appointments here first.
Overall, it is a mutually beneficial thing for everyone.
During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, the snack street is the busiest.
Although it is just the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, we can already see signs of excitement.
Before I even reached the entrance of the alley, I could already smell the fragrance.
"Mom, it smells so good!" Wang Ping was held in Lin Yumei's arms. Although her arms were still around her neck, her head had already turned towards the snack alley, as if she wanted to see what delicious food there was that could give off such an alluring aroma.
As soon as the few people walked into the alley, the first thing they heard was the hawking of candied haws.
"Mi ai hei aiyi--candied haws!"
"Would you like to eat candied haws?" Lin Yumei asked the two children.
The brother and sister shook their heads at the same time.
They had eaten candied haws before, and since this was a rare opportunity, they wanted to try some new snacks they had never had before.
"Then let's go inside."
The further you go in, the louder the shouting becomes.
"Sweet and sour bean juice..."
"Big hot meat buns fresh out of the pan—"
"Sweet, soft and glutinous roasted sweet potatoes, sweeter than honey, if they are not sweet, I won't pay for them——"
"Selling sugar melons, sugar melons as white as jade—"
"Date Wowo, sugar Wowo, sugar, sesame, and three kinds of Wowo——"
"Here's some pea yellow, big chunks of pea yellow, try some!"
"Donkey rolls full of sugar! Bean flour cakes with a bag of sugar!"
"Jiao feed enema oh!"
"Braised pork, fried tofu, tea-tea eggs, hello—"
"Boom, it's time to boil the pot——"
"Iron beans! Crispy beans—"
"Vegetarian buns stuffed with shiitake mushrooms—!"
"Big pear paste, big pear paste for dipping!"
Everyone shouts in a different tone, and the ending tone is also different.
Regular diners can easily tell where the stall they want to eat is by the tone and ending sound of the calls.
But when someone who is not familiar with the place walks in, the first thing they will notice is noise coming from all directions, making their head buzz.
The two children had never seen such a scene before and were completely overwhelmed.
Mrs. Ye said, "Let's find a shop to sit down first, and then go out and buy some snacks."
"Let's go sit in the teahouse in front," suggested Mrs. Ye. "Order a pot of tea and then buy some snacks for the children to try."
Anyone with children knows that when you take your children out, they want to eat everything they see, but their eyes are big and their stomachs are small.
So the adults only need to pick up the leftovers of the children and they will basically be full.
Everyone agreed with Mrs. Ye's opinion and took the children to the teahouse to sit down and order a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.
When the waiter came over to serve tea, Mrs. Ye started chatting with him.
"Hey bro, what delicious snacks are there in this alley?"
After she finished speaking, she took out two copper coins, placed them on the table, and pushed them towards where the waiter was standing.
The waiter took the copper coins and said with a smile, "You've asked the right person. In our alley, Lao Chen's candied haws, Liu Po's crispy broad beans, Jiang Laoguai's donkey rolls, Lao Cheng's fried sausage, and Huang Po's Aiwo Wo are all quite famous.
"You guys came early, so you should still be able to buy it now. If you come half an hour later, they will probably have sold out and packed up and gone home."
