Chapter 256 Daoli Vegetable Market
Although Chen Xiong had been pulling her around in a snow ring today, Song Tang still felt exhausted after playing for a whole day. She soon fell asleep with the snoring of Song Dabo beside her.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Song Tang stayed in bed and refused to get up, so Zhou Jing even brought his breakfast back to his room.
Because he is going to attend the wedding of Zhao Zihong's cousin tomorrow and also experience the joy of a rural banquet, Song Tang doesn't plan to play so hard today.
Zhao Rui's suggestion was a good one. They could walk around the city today and take some nice photos. Since they came to the Ice City of Northeast China, they had not visited many famous attractions in the city.
So Song Tang readily accepted Zhao Rui's suggestion, "That's settled, let's drive around the city today."
Song Tang got up immediately and prepared to wash up. That's right, she had just finished her meal and ran back to the big bed in the bedroom, which meant that their conversation just now actually took place in the bedroom.
Because they were going to take photos today, Zhou Jing dressed Song Tang up beautifully. However, in the middle of winter, especially in the Northeast, it was not possible to look beautiful when taking photos and playing outdoors. Even if a person is very beautiful, if they dress up, only their face will be left.
After everyone was ready, Song Dabo was left to look after the house again. The kitten didn't care about it, lying on the bed and twitching its tail lazily, as if to say hello to Song Tang who was saying goodbye to it.
Since Zhao Zihong and her parents went to the village to help in advance, today's itinerary was entirely decided by photographer Zhao Rui.
Their first stop was the famous religious landmark in the Ice City, Hagia Sophia.
After parking the car, they walked a short distance before they saw the dark red Hagia Sophia in the distance. It stood out in this commercial district.
Saint Sophia Cathedral is a proper Orthodox church, which was built as early as the reign of Emperor Guangxu. It was funded by the big tea merchants of Tsarist Russia and built by the railway workers and believers who came here to build the railway.
Originally it was a wooden church, and the one that stands here in the Ice City now was later demolished and rebuilt.
When we got closer, we found that the outer walls of the church were made of red bricks. No wonder it looked dark red from a distance.
It covers an area of about 700 square meters, which is neither too big nor too small. The overall style is full of religious colors. Although it is not as fantastic and epic as the Cologne Cathedral in Germany, it also has its own unique style.
Gently touching the red bricks full of history, Song Tang seemed to touch the veins and cries of the Hagia Sophia over the past century. This church has been here, silently accompanying the Ice City through rain, snow, wind and frost for nearly a hundred years.
While Song Tang was lost in thought, Zhao Rui had already quietly pressed the shutter button countless times.
She discovered that it is best to take photos of a lady unintentionally, especially when she is distracted. The photos taken will actually give people a sense of traveling through time.
Zhou Jing nodded repeatedly while watching the photos taken by Zhao Rui. The young lady knew that when it came to taking photos, her stiff and unrelaxed appearance was simply unbearable to look at, and it was all supported by her looks.
It costs 20 yuan to buy a ticket to enter the church, which is no different from free for Song Tang and others. No matter what it looks like inside and whether it is worth it, Song Tang wants to go in and take a look.
As the old man said, now that we are here...
It was a pity that the interior of Hagia Sophia did not give Song Tang any surprises. In the words of the old man, it was just so-so...
After wandering around for a while, it was almost twelve o'clock. There was no other way, because Song Tang woke up at nine o'clock today.
Not far opposite the Hagia Sophia is the famous Daoli Vegetable Market.
Zhao Rui leaned over and whispered a few words into Song Tang's ear. Song Tang's eyes instantly lit up, and one could tell she was happy even through the mask.
With a heroic wave of her little hand, she put her arm around Zhou Jing's arm and headed towards the Daoli Vegetable Market not far away.
Just now, Zhao Rui whispered to her not to be confused by the name of this place and miss it.
Although Daoli Market is called a market, it is not a simple place. There are many kinds of food in the market, which is simply a paradise for foodies like Song Tang.
If it weren't for the big words "Daoli Vegetable Market" on the outer wall, most people wouldn't know it even if they walked up to the door. This place looks like a small shopping mall, but it's a completely different world inside, a complex with fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and all kinds of delicious snacks.
According to Zhao Rui, this vegetable market has a history of a hundred years. Song Tang looked around curiously as he walked.
There were quite a lot of people in the market at this time, not many people were buying vegetables, but there were long queues for snacks. Many people were carrying luggage, and it seemed that they came here to eat and check in as soon as they got off the train.
You should know that Daoli Vegetable Market is not far from Bingcheng Railway Station.
Song Tang planned to queue up for the stall selling dry-fried pork tenderloin in front of him. The others were also arranged by Zhou Jing to queue up to buy food according to the food guide of Daoli Vegetable Market provided by Zhao Rui. This way, they could greatly shorten the waiting time.
As the saying goes, more people means easier work. In less than twenty minutes, even Zhao Qi, who had waited the longest, came back.
There are no tables, chairs or benches for eating in Daoli Vegetable Market, so people can only take away their food or eat while walking around.
Song Tang and her friends chose to eat while walking in the market. The crispy deep-fried pork tenderloin with full meat made Song Tang love it. She also liked Fatty Yin's fried cake. The red bean filling inside seemed to be homemade, with distinct grains, unlike some fried cakes in other places that are filled with processed red bean paste.
Of course, there are other delicacies, such as yellow pumpkin pie and pumpkin bun, old-fashioned waterless cake, pure meat grilled sausage, beef skewers, date cake from Hongzaofang, etc.
Finally, after eating, have a nice glass of iced pear juice. Ah~, it’s perfect.
Song Tang wiped her mouth with a tissue and felt that her trip to the vegetable market at noon today was worth it. She liked it even more than the Hagia Sophia, which she had just visited not long ago.
Song Tang was full, and so were the others. As for Zhao Qi and Zhao Rui, who had smaller appetites, they had already stopped eating.
Sometimes they envy their own daughters, who eat so much but never gain weight. Isn’t that too buggy?
Moreover, they had observed that their young lady could eat spicy and sweet food very well, but her face was always smooth and tender, and they had never seen acne on her face.
If they eat too much spicy food, they will get a sore throat and will have small pimples popping up the next day.
These problems, which are extremely troubling for other women, have never been seen in my own lady. Being able to enjoy delicious food without restraint is really a great blessing in life.
