“Boss, give me a Grilled Lantern, please.”

After queuing for a while in front of a stall, Qin Lang, whose turn had finally arrived, pointed at a delicacy he had been eyeing for some time, and opened his mouth with anticipation.

On his way here, he had already seen many tourists holding the Grilled Lanterns made by this stall.

It is said to be one of the most famous snacks in Qingyang City. The lantern is not a real lantern, but it refers to the food that looks similar to a lantern.

“Alright! Little brother, please wait a moment!”

The enthusiastic stall owner chuckled, his hands working non-stop.

With each plump delicacy placed on the grill, the rich aroma carried in the heat quickly rushed towards Qin Lang’s direction.

The rich aroma of beef bursting under grilling, the natural bean flavour emitted by dried tofu after roasting, and the scent of various side dishes activated by the heat intertwined, making people salivate.

Dan Bao and Spicy’s eyes lit up immediately, each sniffing with somewhat intoxicated expressions on their little faces.

“Your Grilled Lantern is here!”

The stall owner shouted, and quickly handed over a freshly made Grilled Lantern to Qin Lang.

The large piece of dried tofu was folded into a lantern shape resembling a hexagonal prism using a unique technique. Its slightly charred surface was incredibly tempting.

Inside the lantern-shaped tofu, there was a large amount of stuffing, mainly marinated beef. It looked a bit like the grilled bean dried tofu in his previous life, but it was more elaborate.

Thoughtfully, the stall owner also provided a small spoon for scooping out the filling directly.

“Give it a try.” Qin Lang scooped a spoonful of full beef filling into Spicy’s mouth, who had been impatiently waiting for it.

“Gurgle!”

What about me!

Not willing to show weakness, Dan Bao poked its head out of its body and opened its mouth.

“Of course, you won’t be forgotten.” Qin Lang chuckled, scooping another spoonful into Dan Bao’s mouth.

Only after the two Food Spirits had savoured the food did he scoop a spoonful to taste for himself.

The taste of the beef and other ingredients stewed inside the closed tofu was better than expected. Along with it, there was abundant juice; a light chew left a lingering fragrance.

As he scooped up the filling, the amount inside gradually decreased. At this time, he bit off a piece of the edge of the tofu which had a charred aroma. This way, the filling wouldn’t leak out.

Although it resembled grilled bean dried tofu, this way of eating was more like having a wafer ice cream…

Savouring the chewy texture of the tofu in his mouth, Qin Lang nodded in satisfaction.

No matter what it is like, it being tasty is all that matters.

“Qin Lang, try this!” Zhao Wenchang, who was queuing at another stall, returned with a new dish, “Crispy Chicken Bone.”

Qin Lang:”???”

He had heard of Scented Chicken Bone, but what the hell was Crispy Chicken Bone!

He took the Crispy Chicken Bone brought by Zhao Wenchang and looked at it curiously.

Chicken bones, with bits of meat on the surface, appeared before him.

Although the bones had some meat on them, the chicken bone was clearly the protagonist of this dish.

Qin Lang put on a disposable glove and picked up a piece to examine it in the light.

Soon, he discovered that there was much thought put into these chicken bones.

They used wide and thin chicken shoulder blades, fried in hot oil until they could easily be crushed, while retaining a small amount of meat.

The rest of the meat wasn’t wasted either; it was cut into strips, covered with breadcrumbs and fried into golden chicken strips, which were placed at the bottom.

Qin Lang started tasting it curiously.

“Crunch crunch-”

In the crisp sound, the thoroughly fried chicken bones with a little meat burst out strong flavour between his lips and teeth.

The taste was surprisingly similar to that of potato chips, but even more crispy.

“Crunch!”

“Gulp!”

Seeing Qin Lang enjoying his food, the two little ones quickly gathered around.

They also wanted to eat!

“Alright, alright, there’s enough for everyone.” Qin Lang shoved a few pieces into Dan Bao and Spicy’s mouths, then picked up a fried chicken strip to try.

The chicken strip, coated in breadcrumbs, had a crispy exterior and a tender and juicy interior that made him involuntarily reveal a satisfied expression.

This was a common way to prepare fried chicken, nothing special.

But the cooking was perfectly timed, and it seemed there were special seasonings added to the breadcrumbs, making the taste of the fried chicken strip particularly rich.

“Try this too.” Without waiting for the two little ones to urge him on, he handed over the chicken strip.

“Let’s go over there next.” Seeing that Qin Lang liked the food he recommended, Zhao Wenchang chuckled, “Over there are several local foods I highly recommend-”

“Let’s go!” Qin Lang nodded vigorously.

The task for tonight was to eat all of the local foods!

“Boom!”

A deep sound filled the air, causing the now sated Qin Lang, Dan Bao, and Spicy to involuntarily look in the direction of the noise.

In the dim light of the surrounding stalls, a bright spark climbed into the air, finally blooming into numerous colorful dots at a high altitude, forming dazzling fireworks and illuminating the eyes of everyone who looked at it.

Seeing the cheers from those around them and the crowd flocking towards the direction of the fireworks, Zhao Wenchang shouted, “It’s the Fireworks

Festival! 1 heard earlier that the Fireworks Festival would be held nearby tonight!”

“The Fireworks Festival…” Looking at the fireworks that continued to rise and bloom in the sky, Qin Lang’s eyes gradually brightened.

He looked at the two little ones beside him who were showing a look of anticipation, and shouted loudly, “Let’s go and watch!”

Qin Lang’s voice was drowned out by the cheers around them, but Zhao Wenchang nearby heard it clearly. He nodded aggressively and pulled Qin Lang towards a small path. “Let’s take a shortcut!”

This was the advantage of being a local.

They quickly jogged through the alleyways, and soon arrived at the site of the Fireworks Festival at White Stone Square.

In the center of the field, the staff were lighting up big fireworks.

“Step back a bit, lads!” A staff member came over and instructed Qin Lang and Zhao to back off.

“Shi Qi Group?” Looking at the logo on the staff’s chest, Qin Lang had a surprised look on his face.

“Yes, we at the Shi Qi Group sponsored this Fireworks Festival.” The staff member puffed out his chest with pride, “There’s going to be a massive firework soon, get ready!”

Without him mentioning it, Qin Lang and Zhao had already noticed the huge firework being carried to the center of the field by four staff members.

Amid the sporadic exclamations from the crowd, the massive firework was quickly lit.

“Boom! Whistle— ”

After a deep explosion, there was a piercing whistling sound.

A bright light rose rapidly to a height where everyone had to look up to see it. It then exploded rapidly, splitting into points of light that scattered in all directions.

Before the crowd’s cheers could get a chance to rise, those points of light exploded a second time, turning into multicolored fireworks, lighting up the entire sky, and becoming the most spectacular scene of the night.

After a moment of silence, cheers and applause resounded from all directions, continuing non-stop.
