Chapter 46 Eternal Love!
After waiting for about ten minutes, the waiter brought a large casserole and placed it in front of him.

After the waiter lit the fire on the table, he instructed: "Wait five minutes after the pot boils and you can eat!"

I don’t know if it was cooked in a pressure cooker in advance, but the food was indeed served a bit quickly.

After waiting for a few minutes, Su Chen looked at the ribs and pig's trotters boiling in the pot, and couldn't stop swallowing the saliva in his mouth.

He added a little soup to the dipping bowl and picked up a piece of pig's trotter with chopsticks.

There is basically no fat, and apart from the chewy skin there is only the tempting lean meat.

There is a slight difference between it and the cured pig's trotters in Sichuan and Chongqing. It is not as black, and there is a slight difference in the smoking method.

"Delicious!" The bacon with the dipping sauce is simply a delicacy.

Su Chen didn't have the heart to savor the food slowly, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating in big mouthfuls.

All he ordered was a small hotpot with a few side dishes, which was enough to fill him up.

The meal cost more than two hundred yuan, which is not expensive. The main thing is that I was satisfied with the food. The restaurant recommended by Boss Yu is really good.

As long as it tastes good, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little expensive, but if it tastes bad, I won’t eat it no matter how cheap it is.

After the tour, Su Chen did not rush to the next stop.

It is not even one o'clock now. The performance of "A Thousand Years of Love" will not start until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the performance of "A Thousand Years of Love", which is said to be a must-see in a lifetime, will not start until three o'clock.

Su Chen has more than enough time!

When visiting Lijiang, the most important thing to eat is mushroom hotpot, but it's a pity that it's not in season now.

The second thing is flower cakes. Su Chen plans to buy some flower cakes now so that he will have snacks while watching the Eternal Love show later.

There are only three most famous flower cake shops in Lijiang, Pan Xiangji, Jiahua and Hua Manlou.

The three stores all have their own characteristics, and Jiahua is specially recommended by boss Yu, who says that freshly baked food is the best.

Su Chen also bought some to try with the intention of giving it a try.

He thought it was noon and there wouldn't be many buyers. When Su Chen found Jiahua's store in the ancient town, he was stunned.

There was a long queue of nearly thirty meters in front of the door, basically consisting of aunts and uncles, and I don’t know where the spirit came from.

Each of these uncles and aunts bought a lot, and it felt like they were bringing home local specialties.

"It looks like it won't be available for purchase in half an hour!" Su Chen shook his head, but still walked to the end and queued up.

“If you come out to play and don’t experience queuing, such a trip is incomplete!”

I have to say... the shops at tourist attractions are very efficient. Su Chen thought he would have to wait in line for half an hour, but who would have thought that it would be his turn in less than ten minutes.

Su Chen didn't buy much. He only bought three of each item. His main purpose was to try them out. As for buying some as gifts, that would be something he would consider when he left.

There is a bus from the ancient town that goes directly to the Qianguqing Scenic Area. What surprised Su Chen is that the bus is free.

Free is the most expensive thing in the world.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the Qianguqing Scenic Area, Su Chen asked about the ticket price and it was 278!

"It's said that Lijiang Eternal Love is a must-see in a lifetime, but I don't know if it's worth the two hundred yuan!"

There are quite a lot of people coming to the Qianguqing Scenic Area, and many of them bring their children to play.

After Su Chen entered the scenic area, he realized that in addition to the performances, there were also many places to visit.

After checking the time, it was still early for the Lijiang Eternal Love Show at 3 o'clock. Su Chen decided to take a walk around. He had just read the introduction of the park and was quite interested in the small shows in the park.

The park was not very big. Su Chen strolled slowly with the crowd. As soon as he arrived at the square, he encountered a performance. A group of handsome men and beautiful women in ethnic costumes were dancing in the middle of the road.

Just as he was watching the show with great interest, Su Chen was pulled in by a beautiful performer and joined the happy swaying team, swaying to the music with the beauties.

Happy times are always short. Su Chen was still immersed in happiness when the music suddenly stopped.

I took a look and found that the show was over.

"Oh, this happiness is too short!" Su Chen muttered softly.

Unexpectedly, the beautiful dancer who was about to leave heard it, "Handsome, you can go and try the Mu Mansion's son-in-law recruitment. It's not far ahead and it's about to start!"

When he heard about recruiting a son-in-law, Su Chen also became interested.

When he arrived, there were already dozens of people gathered downstairs. Su Chen struggled hard and finally squeezed in and found a seat relatively close to the front.

The show started quickly, starting with a dance performance. During the performance, the bride suddenly threw out the hydrangea.

Before Su Chen could react, a young man standing in the front got there first and took the hydrangea into his arms!
Two staff members immediately came to greet him. They changed into a bright red robe and wore a red crown on their heads, which looked quite festive.

"My dear son-in-law, please say a few words to the villagers!" said a man dressed in elderly clothes with a smile.

"Ahem~ I'm a little socially anxious!"

The tourists watching the scene were also amused when they heard this.

"I have a few questions for you, my dear son-in-law. I wonder how young you are this year!"

"I'm eighteen years old!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and even Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

The conversation between the two people later also contributed a lot of laughs. I don’t know whether the young man arranged it deliberately or was a tourist, but it did make the onlookers laugh.

The show of recruiting a son-in-law did not last long and ended after the two of them got married.

"I didn't expect these little shows to be so interesting, but I don't know what the Eternal Love is like!"

After walking around the park and watching two or three performances, at about three o'clock, Su Chen walked towards the Eternal Love Theater.

When Su Chen entered the venue, the seats were basically full, and there were heads everywhere.

I found a seat that wasn't too far back.

The entire Lijiang Eternal Love is divided into six acts, namely, "Naxi Genesis", "Lugu Daughter Kingdom", "Legend of the Caravan", "The Glory of Mu Mansion", "The Third Kingdom of Yulong" and "Searching for Shambhala", with a total performance time of nearly one hour.

As the lights went out and the music started, the show officially began.

This was also Su Chen’s first time watching a stage play, and he was deeply attracted as soon as the performance began.

Dancers showed them the Naxi culture with the music and body language.

The performance of each scene gives people a different feeling, especially in the third scene, about the legend of the caravan, where the caravan men fought bravely with the bandits to protect the food.

Especially the sentence "deliver the food safely", Su Chen was deeply involved in it and couldn't help but shed a few tears.

When the lights come on, the show ends!
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
