"Back then, it was right here. Now...it's really gone..."

Luofeng Tang stood in front of a grain shop, his face somewhat downcast.

Yang Ruqing looked at the rice grain shop and then comforted Luofengtang: "Ten years have passed, there must be big changes. Don't be downhearted, as long as we are together, no matter where we eat, it will be delicious!"

Luò Fēng Tǎng glanced at Yáng Ruò Qíng, squeezed out a smile, and lightly nodded.

It's true what they say, but I always feel there's something missing.

“Let’s go eat somewhere else,” Yang Ruoheng patted his arm and said.

Luo Fengtang nodded, then turned and walked towards the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley with his head down.

Yang Ruqing was also about to leave, but suddenly remembered something. She called out to Luofengtang: "Wait for me!"

Then, she turned and ran into the grain shop.

Luo Fengtang turned around and saw Yang Ruqing talking to the shopkeeper at the grain store.

The guy was a little stunned at first, like he didn't quite understand, but he quickly caught on. He took Yang Ruqing to the back of the grain shop.

Yang Ruqing made a hand gesture to Luo Fengtang, indicating for him to stay put. Then, she trotted after the clerk into the backyard.

Luo Fengtang stood there, utterly confused.

He still surveyed his surroundings, sighing over how life often disappoints.

When I was young and poor, my greatest wish was to one day achieve it. There are all sorts of restaurants on this street, from small food stalls to high-end restaurants.

Sometimes, it's all about that feeling...

Someone patted me on the shoulder from behind.

He turned his head and saw Yang Ruohui smiling at him from behind.

"What are you up to?" he asked.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, “It’s a secret. Come, I’ll take you somewhere.”

She pulled his hand and ran without hesitation to the other end of the alley, then through the bustling market, arriving on a wider street near the school. As she walked, she kept turning her head to look around on both sides of the street for something.

"Qing'er, what are you looking for?" Luofengtang was even more astonished.

“If you tell me, I'll help you look for it together!” he said again.

Yang Ruqing turned her head and gave him a mysterious smile: "You'll know when you get there, hehe."

The more she played coy, the more curious he became.

>

But looking at her excited expression, he held back from asking. Let her be, as long as she's happy.

"Here we are!" she suddenly stopped, tossing her chin up at him.

Following her gaze, he saw a small restaurant appear before him.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

A banner hung in front, with familiar large characters that instantly filled Luofeng Tang with joy.

"This, this...Isn't this the one I was looking for? Why did I end up here?" he asked excitedly, his usual calmness completely gone, like a joyful boy.

Yang Ruqing was also smiling, her eyes curved. "I wasn't convinced at first, so I went to the grain shop owner to ask around. Unexpectedly, I found out that the tavern owner moved here two years ago to the academy area, so I pulled you over!"

Upon hearing this, Luofengtang looked at her with a moved expression. After a long silence, he uttered a few words from between his lips: "Qinger, you're so thoughtful!"

Yang Ruqing raised her hand and poked his forehead, "What's the point of saying these things? I'm hungry..."

Luo Fengtang immediately pulled her hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

The two walked into the small restaurant. It wasn't very big, but it was very clean inside.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing herself owns a restaurant. In the food and beverage industry, to see if someone puts their heart into it, you just need to look at this table.

>

If there is a layer of grease on the table when you touch it with your fingers, it means that the hygiene conditions of this restaurant are perfunctory.

If the table is very clean and the tableware is also very particular, it means the shop is very careful.

Although the restaurant was small, it felt very cozy. The couple found a table by the window and as soon as they sat down, a friendly waiter brought over a teapot of steaming hot tea. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Along with the teapot came the menu.

"This way, please. What would you two fine gentlemen like to order?" the waiter said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Luo Fengtang did not look at the menu. He pondered for a moment and then blurted out four dishes in one breath.

The fellow was taken aback: "Sir, these dishes are our head chef's specialties, the signature dishes of our restaurant. All our regular customers order these dishes, but I see that you are new here, not a frequent visitor, how..."

"You seem awfully familiar with the dishes here, don't you?" Luofengtang broke his usual aloofness and flashed a friendly smile at the waiter.

>

The guy immediately nodded.

Then Luofeng Tang glanced at Yang Ruohua sitting opposite her and smiled without saying a word.

Yang Ruqing took a sip of tea and smiled at the waiter, "Although this is our first time eating here, we've been following your shop for a long time. Today, we came to eat out of sentiment."

Having said that, she took out a silver ingot and threw it to the waiter: “Tell your manager to prioritize our dishes. Keep the change, we're in high spirits tonight.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The man took one look at the silver in his hand and couldn't help but gape.

These four dishes together wouldn't cost more than a hundred cash coins, but these two guests casually paid out an ounce of silver, almost ten times the price to eat this meal!

They were happy, and this fellow was even happier!

"Thank you both, please wait a moment, I'll go get the dishes!"

The fellow, having received the silver, ran quickly into the back room.

Soon, the shopkeeper and the waiter brought the dishes together.

As soon as Luo Fengtang saw the shopkeeper's appearance, he had a memory of him.

“Yes, it’s him! Ten years ago when I came to Washi to sell deer meat, I often saw him cooking in the shed behind the restaurant. It smelled so good!” He told Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing smiled with her eyes curved, "Before we didn't have money to eat, today we will have a good meal."

The shopkeeper, hearing that these two distinguished guests were so generous, hurried over from the kitchen in the back to greet them.

Hearing Luo Fengtang talk about things from over ten years ago, the shopkeeper laughed and said, "Sir, if you put it that way, I do have a little recollection. There was a young man back then who often walked through my restaurant's backyard, and his appearance did resemble yours in a few ways."

“It’s just that I remember he always wore shoes with his toes exposed, unlike your distinguished appearance.”

Hearing this, Yang Ruqing smiled.

"That's him. He came from a poor family and made a living by hunting." she said.

The shopkeeper was suddenly enlightened, not daring to inquire about the reason for his current extravagance. He only looked at Luo Fengtang with a few more points of admiration in his eyes.

Just then, more customers arrived. The shopkeeper said to Yang Ruqing and Luofeng Tang, "I won't disturb your meal then. Let me know if you need anything."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Luofeng Tang nodded, "You go busy yourself!"

After the shopkeeper left, Luo Fengtang eagerly lifted his chopsticks and picked out the fish meat from the side of the red-braised bream where the spines were less, putting it into Yang Ruqing's bowl.
