Chapter 518: Encountering "Tanghulu! Everything can be coated with sugar! It's free if you don't eat it!"
The clear and hearty hawking voice with a crisp northeastern accent drifted to the ears of Luo Liang and Gu Feng on the evening breeze.
Gu Feng paused, and turned his head to look at Luo Liang beside him. There was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was full of gentle suggestions: "Let's join in the fun and buy two strings of candied haws to try?"
Luo Liang rarely eats sweets on weekdays, always feeling that the greasy taste will disturb the refreshing taste buds. But today is Christmas, and Gu Feng is by her side. She doesn't want to spoil her mood, so she nodded gently: "Yes."
The two walked side by side towards the stall. The closer they got, the clearer the noise became.
The stall owner, still standing behind the wooden stand, held a bunch of candied grapes in his hand and called out to the onlookers in a booming voice: "Come and take a look! Candied silkworm pupae and candied scallions—these are unique flavors. Don't miss them!"
There were a lot of people gathered in front of the stall, most of them holding up their mobile phones to take pictures, with smiles of "novelty" in their eyes. Those who actually paid for the food only dared to choose traditional candied hawthorns or common candied fruits. No one dared to try those "dark dishes" easily.
As Luo Liang approached, the eyes of the people around her unconsciously gathered around her - the hem of her clothes swayed gently with her steps, the pearl brooch on her collar shone warmly under the light, her long hair was tied into a low bun, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck, her temperament was cold and noble, and just like Gu Luo and Luo Shuning when they came just now, she instantly became the focus of the crowd.
A young girl holding up her phone couldn't help but sigh quietly, "Oh my god, the moat is so magical today, there are so many handsome men and beautiful women!"
Gu Feng took in all the eyes around him, turned his head and chuckled to Luo Liang: "This boss is quite good at doing business."
Luo Liang followed his gaze and looked at the outrageous rock sugar strings on the straw target. As a businessman with many years of experience in the business world, he knew it at a glance - using "rock sugar scallions" and "rock sugar silkworm pupae" as gimmicks to arouse the curiosity of passers-by, attract traffic, and finally make a profit by selling regular candied haws and fruits. This is the most common and effective trick.
I'm afraid that except for the people of Shandong Province, they dare to try the candied scallions, and everyone else will just watch the fun."
The two stood in front of the stall for a while. Gu Feng pointed at the candied hawthorns in the front row and said to the stall owner, "Boss, give me two strings of these."
When he took the candied haws, he did not forget to tear off the transparent plastic wrapping for Luo Liang and handed it to her: "Try it, it tastes sweet and sour, it should be good."
Luo Liang took it, his fingertips touched the coolness of the bamboo stick, and he gently bit off one. The sugar shell melted in his mouth, sweet but not greasy, and the slight sourness of the hawthorn neutralized the sweetness just right.
The two of them walked slowly along the river bank while eating candied haws.
But as they walked, their steps stopped at the same time.
Under the willow tree not far away, two figures were leaning against each other on a bench - the boy was wearing a dark coat, holding the girl tightly in his arms, and lowering his head to kiss her lips; the girl's apron slipped off her shoulders, revealing her slender neck, and the hand around the boy's waist was tightly grasping his clothes. Their figures looked particularly affectionate under the warm yellow street lights.
Gu Feng quietly pulled Luo Liang's arm and smiled softly: "Don't alarm them, let's take a detour."
Luo Liang looked at it for a while and nodded slightly.
The two of them turned around tacitly and walked slowly away along another cobblestone road.
As he was walking, Luo Liang suddenly stopped.
