Seeing that she had no intention of talking anymore, Wen Shutang did not ask any more questions and turned to leave Tongyue Inn. After leaving the Inn, he kept thinking about the proprietress's strange behavior and became even more curious about this person.

Xiao Yizhuo took the children to buy things on the street not far from the inn, and Wen Shutang found them without much time.

By this time everyone has finished breakfast, and the streets and alleys are bustling with activity. All kinds of peddlers have begun to come out to sell their wares. The constant stream of people and the dazzling array of gadgets on the streets all demonstrate the prosperity of Fengzhen.

Wen Shutang was also attracted by the lively scene. For a moment, he forgot about the weird proprietress of Tongyue Inn and started to stroll around with the children.

Wen Shutang found a clothing store on the street and walked in with the children. Feng Town is much bigger than Qingshui Town, so the craftsmanship of making clothes would probably be better.

The three children didn't have many nice clothes, so Wen Shutang thought that this was a good opportunity to buy them some good clothes.

After picking out two sets of clothes for Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan respectively, when it came to Xiao Ze, Wen Shutang discovered that he didn't seem to want to buy clothes very much.

Although Xiao Ze tried his best to say that he didn't need such exquisite and beautiful clothes, Wen Shutang still felt that Xiao Ze was getting older and it was time for him to study, and he couldn't be distracted by material things.

"Okay, Aze, don't refuse. Look, Aye and Wan'er have bought new clothes, so how can I not buy some for you? Come here quickly. You are in the period of growing up, and the clothes will become too small for you in a short time." Wen Shutang waved to Xiao Ze and said with a smile.

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, Xiao Ze couldn't refuse any longer and walked forward to let her help him measure the size.

After buying several sets of clothes for each of the three children, the family walked out of the clothing store.

The sun is high in the sky and the weather is very good today. The sun is so bright that it is hard to open your eyes.

"It's noon now. Let's eat outside and then go back to the inn to rest. How about we go out to the Poetry Street when it's cooler in the evening?" Wen Shutang looked down at the three children, asking for their opinions.

Xiao Wan nodded in agreement and said, "Okay—"

Brothers Xiao Ye and Xiao Ze had no objection either.

A few people walked towards the main street. At this time of year, there were still many small vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, but it was not as lively as in the morning.

Wen Shutang caught a glimpse of a small stall out of the corner of his eye and his attention was immediately drawn to it.

She saw a pot of light green noodles cooking in the stall, which looked particularly strange at first glance.

Wen Shutang was curious about the color of the noodles, so he walked over and asked, "Brother, why is the color of this noodle light green?"

The stall owner who was cooking noodles saw a customer coming to ask, and immediately responded with a smile: "I can see that the young lady is from somewhere else, right? Otherwise, how come you don't even know the Huaiye Lengtao in Fengzhen."

Wen Shutang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I took the children out for a trip and happened to pass by Fengzhen. Today is the second day of my visit."

The young man responded with understanding, and then warmly invited them to sit down: "So that's how it is, no wonder, come on, come and sit down."

The three children were also very curious about why the color of the noodles was so strange. They sat side by side and looked at the noodles in the boy's hand.

Seeing how curious they were, the young man remembered that he had not explained the color of the noodles to them. He smiled naively and pointed at the light green noodles.

"Pick young green locust leaves, pound them to extract juice and mix with flour to make thin noodles. After cooking, soak them in ice water, so the color is bright green. Because they have been soaked in ice water, the noodles taste chewy and cool. It is a great thing to have a bowl of locust leaf noodles in the hot summer. People in our area like to eat noodles this way."

After hearing the young man's explanation, Wen Shutang finally understood the origin of this locust leaf cold noodles. Isn't this just boiled cold noodles?

In the hot summer, having a bowl of cold noodles really feels good.

Wen Shutang immediately decided to have lunch here: "Really? It seems that this Sophora japonica leaf cold soup is the specialty of our Fengzhen. We must not miss it. Brother, give me five bowls."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir. I'll prepare the topping right away." The young man nodded with a smile, turned around and started making the topping.

Wen Shutang sat next to Xiao Yizhuo and watched the young man's hand movements with interest.

"I have never tasted such a special food."

It’s not that Wen Shutang had never eaten cold noodles before. When he was at home, he was too lazy to cook so he would just boil some noodles, rinse them with cold water and eat them casually.

She just wanted to try the locust leaf cold noodles here and the noodles she made herself.

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes fell on her profile, and he said softly, "This noodle tastes really good, it's worth a try."

Judging from Xiao Yizhuo's tone, he seemed to have eaten it?

Wen Shutang turned his head and looked over: "Have you eaten it?"

"Yes, it turns out that I stayed in Fengzhen for a period of time." Xiao Yizhuo responded with a slight nod.

Hearing this, Wen Shutang did not ask any more questions. It turned out that Xiao Yizhuo had been traveling with the children alone and had been to many places, so it was understandable that he knew about Huaiye Lengtao.

Soon, the young man brought up a few bowls of brightly colored noodles.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal."

The green noodles paired with rich toppings create a great visual impact.

Wen Shutang picked up the chopsticks and took a sip. The rich and unique taste made her open her eyes slightly wide.

The coolness of the noodles and the heat of the toppings mix together to create a different color, which is so delicious that you will linger in your memory after just one bite.

Wen Shutang was really amazed by the taste of this noodle. She really didn't expect that the taste of this locust leaf cold noodle would be like this.

The taste of this locust leaf cold noodles is completely different from the cold noodles I make myself. If you taste it carefully, you can even taste the faint fragrance of the green leaves.

“It’s really delicious.”

The young man was standing not far away, cleaning other tables. When he heard Wen Shutang's words, he turned around and looked over with a smile, his tone full of pride.

"Right, this is a famous snack in Fengzhen. Just eat it. It's absolutely right."

Seeing Wen Shutang eating so happily, the three children's appetite was immediately aroused.

After they tasted it, they showed the same surprised expression as Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang hadn't had such an appetite for a long time, and she finished the whole bowl of noodles.

After finishing his meal, Wen Shutang touched his slightly bulging belly with satisfaction, and felt that the heat in his body had subsided a lot.

She stood up, paid the bill, and left the stall with the children.

"Let's go back to the inn and take a rest. Then we can go out to visit Poetry Street in the evening."
