Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Li Xiao and his friends came to the East Lake Greenway, a pleasant outdoor scenic spot known as an oasis in the city.As soon as they entered the greenway, the fresh air and green scenery immediately made them feel happy.

Friends strolled on the greenway, basked in the warm sunshine, and enjoyed the gift of nature.All kinds of flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the path, blooming with colorful flowers and emitting bursts of fragrance.

Li Xiao admired the flowers on the roadside, and couldn't help admiring: "The flowers here are so beautiful, each one is like a delicate painting."

Friends echoed and took out their mobile phones one after another to capture the beautiful scenery and leave a series of precious moments.

As they walked, they came to a small pavilion by the lake.The water of the lake is clear to the bottom, and the breeze blows across the lake, causing layers of ripples.Several wicker chairs were placed on the pavilion by the lake. They sat down and looked at the lake, as if entering a peaceful world.

There is a food stall not far away, emitting bursts of tempting aroma.Li Xiao and his friends walked over curiously, and found that the stall owner was making glutinous rice cakes on the spot, each one was crystal clear and exuded a sweet fragrance.

"This glutinous rice cake looks delicious!" Friends exclaimed.

The stall owner explained with a smile: "This is our special snack. It is made of high-quality glutinous rice with different fillings. It is delicious and interesting. You can try it together."

So, Li Xiao and his friends followed the guidance of the stall owner and made glutinous rice cakes by themselves.They picked up glutinous rice flour, slowly kneaded it into shape, then wrapped the stuffing inside, and finally sprinkled a layer of coconut shreds, and the delicate glutinous rice cakes were completed.

Tasting the glutinous rice cakes made by themselves, they not only felt the deliciousness of the food, but also experienced the joy of hand-made.They laughed and communicated, sharing each other's production experience, as if they had returned to their childhood.

Moving on, they came to a handicraft market, where all kinds of handmade handicrafts were displayed.There are various types of handicrafts such as wood carvings, ceramics, and fabrics, each of which shows the wisdom and creativity of craftsmen.

Li Xiao and his friends strolled around the market and saw a wood carving workshop.The master craftsman is making an exquisite woodcarving sculpture on the spot. The carving knife dances on the wood, presenting a vivid image bit by bit.

"This wood carving is so exquisite!" Li Xiao exclaimed.

The craftsman raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a work I carved with my heart. Wood carving is an art that requires patience and skill. Every knife and line is the crystallization of my heart."

Friends listened to the explanation of the master craftsman and appreciated the artistic value of this wood carving even more.They left behind their curiosity and respect for woodcarving craftsmanship, and continued to explore the beauty of the greenway with full artistic inspiration.

After a day on the East Lake Greenway, Li Xiao and his friends reaped the beauty of nature, the enjoyment of food and the charm of handicrafts.They feel the tranquility and vitality of nature, as well as the warmth of humanity and the infinite possibilities of creativity.

Travel, that's it, is not only a geographical move, but also a spiritual opening.They continue to move towards the next destination, looking forward to more discoveries and explorations, and constantly enrich their lives during the journey.

The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continued, and they came to a small town full of historical heritage called "Guyun Town".This small town preserves ancient buildings and traditional culture, as if bringing people back to the past.

As soon as they entered Guyun Town, they were surrounded by stone roads, blue bricks and tiles, small bridges and flowing water, as if walking into an ancient ink painting.On both sides of the ancient streets and alleys, there are various time-honored shops selling traditional handicrafts, souvenirs and special snacks.

Li Xiao and his friends walked through the alleys, savoring the quaint charm of the ancient town.An old teahouse attracted their attention. There was an old wooden sign hanging at the door of the teahouse, which said "Ancient Tea House".

When they walked into the teahouse, the aroma of tea filled their nostrils. The room was elegantly furnished, with simple teapots and teacups on the table.An old tea art master is making tea for the guests on the spot. He uses skilled movements to put the tea into the pot, brew it gently, and then pour it into the teacup.

"Welcome, please try this special ancient charm tea." The tea artist handed a cup of fragrant tea to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao picked up the teacup, tasted the taste of the tea, and felt the fragrance of the tea lingering in his mouth.He couldn't help admiring: "This tea is really delicious!"

The tea artisan said with a smile: "This tea uses famous local tea leaves, picked from ancient tea gardens. Ancient methods are incorporated in the production process, which not only retains the traditional taste, but also shows modern creativity."

Friends were intoxicated by the fragrance of tea, and chatted with the tea artist about the profound meaning of tea culture and tea ceremony, as if entering a tea ceremony.

After leaving the teahouse, they continued to wander the streets of Guyun Town and found a handicraft shop.A variety of handicrafts are displayed in the store, including wood carvings, cloth art, ceramics and so on.

Li Xiao and his friends carefully watched every handicraft in the store.A hand-painted fan with the scenery of the ancient town aroused their interest.The bluestone alleys, ancient bridges, flowing water, and swaying boats are drawn on the fan surface, just like a postcard-like beauty.

The owner came over and explained in a friendly manner: "This hand-painted fan is an exclusive design in our store, and each piece is carefully drawn. I hope that the beauty and history of Guyun Town can be conveyed through the fan."

Attracted by the beauty of the fans, the friends chose their favorite styles one after another, and left the shop with the memories of Guyun Town.

In the evening, as the sun gradually sinks to the west, the lights of Guyun Town gradually light up, dotted among the ancient buildings, looking like a fairy tale world.Li Xiao and his friends stood on the ancient street, looking at this beautiful town, as if traveling through time and space, and meeting ancient people.

During the stroll in Guyun Town, Li Xiao and his friends experienced the ancient culture and art, and felt the charm and warmth of tradition.In this small town, they not only found the expression of beauty, but also found a kind of tranquility and satisfaction different from modern life.

Traveling is like this, not only the exploration of geography, but also the understanding of humanities.Li Xiao and his friends will continue to move forward to meet more scenery and stories, and cherish these precious experiences forever in their hearts.

Li Xiao and his friends left Guyun Town and continued to embark on a new journey.This time, their destination was a fishing village by the sea called "Blue Sea Village".This fishing village is known for its turquoise waters, delicious seafood and peaceful coastline.

As soon as they arrived at Lanhai Village, Li Xiao and his friends were shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them.The blue water stretches to the sky, and the gentle sea breeze blows on the cheeks, as if bringing the breath of the sea.

They walked along the coastline, with delicate sandy beaches under their feet and endless ocean in front of them.The waves beat against the shore, making a pleasant sound, and the mood of the friends fluctuated with the ups and downs of the waves.

"The sea water here is so beautiful, it seems to have entered a fairyland." Friends sighed one after another.

Li Xiao nodded in agreement and reminded everyone: "We should not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also protect this beautiful marine environment."

The friends all agreed, and together they bent over to pick up the litter on the beach and put it in a trash bag.This small act made them feel the importance of protecting the environment and contributed to the beautiful coastline.

For lunch, they came to the seafood market in Lan Hai Village.The market is filled with all kinds of fresh seafood, from prawns and crabs to all kinds of fish.Li Xiao and his friends selected several kinds of seafood, then found a small restaurant and ordered a few signature seafood dishes.

The seafood dishes on the table are mouth-watering, with excellent color, fragrance and taste.A dish of steamed prawns, tender and juicy; a dish of pan-fried crabs, crispy on the outside and tender in the inside; a dish of braised fish, full of fragrance.Friends enjoyed the delicacy of seafood, which complemented the seaside scenery.

After eating, they came to the seaside pier of Lanhai Village and watched the fishing boats undulating on the sea.There is a small fishing tackle shop next to the pier, which displays all kinds of fishing gear and some handmade fishing gear crafts.

"These fishing gear look very distinctive." Li Xiao said, pointing to the handicrafts placed in the window.

The owner of the shop came over and explained with a smile: "These fishing gear handicrafts are handmade by the fishermen in our village, and each piece contains their hard work and wisdom. I hope that the culture and lifestyle of the fishing village can be passed on through these handicrafts. .”

Friends were attracted by the exquisite handicrafts and bought some as souvenirs.They felt the profound heritage of the fishing village culture, and also praised the local traditional crafts.

In the evening, the sun gradually sank to the west, and the sea water in the sky was dyed a touch of orange red.Li Xiao and his friends sat on the beach, quietly enjoying the beauty of the sunset.There are golden ripples on the surface of the sea, reflecting each other with the setting sun, like a beautiful picture scroll.

After a day in Blue Sea Village, Li Xiao and his friends not only felt the magnificence of the sea and delicious seafood, but also learned about the unique charm of the fishing village culture.

They deeply experienced the vitality of the ocean and the diligence and wisdom of the fishing village residents.This trip made them cherish the gifts of nature more, and also gave them a deeper understanding and respect for the fishing village culture.

The next day, Li Xiao and his friends left Lanhai Village and went to a small town in the mountains called "Youran Mountain Residence".Hidden among lush mountains, this small town is famous for its tranquil environment and clean air.

As soon as they arrived at Leisurely Mountain Residence, they felt the unique tranquility and tranquility of the mountains.The streets and alleys of the town are curved and quiet, and the houses and buildings are full of rural atmosphere, as if returning to the past years.

The friends strolled in the town, admiring the surrounding mountains and rivers.The hillside is full of various fruit trees, the fruits are shaking on the trees, and the ripe aroma is tangy.In the distance is a verdant field with farmers working in the field, the scene is like an idyllic scroll.

Li Xiao and his friends were moved by the tranquility and natural beauty of the mountain dwelling.They chose to stop at a farmhouse in a small town to experience the pastoral life in the mountains.

There are wooden tables and chairs in the yard of the farmhouse, and the environment is quiet.The waiter served a table of sumptuous farm dishes, including wild vegetables, home-grown fruits, fresh vegetable juices, etc.

"These farm dishes look so delicious!" Friends all praised.

Everyone tasted farm dishes together and felt the pure taste of natural ingredients.Li Xiao communicated with his friends and learned about the life and farming methods of local farmers, as if getting closer to nature.

After a hearty meal, they continued to explore the town.A small handicraft shop caught their attention, displaying all kinds of handmade crafts, from fabrics, ceramics to wood products, a dazzling array.

Li Xiao walked into the store and carefully observed every piece of handicraft.An exquisite ceramic vase, painted with landscape and floral motifs in bright colors and flowing lines, caught his attention.

The owner of the store came over and introduced with a smile: "This is handmade by the potters in our town, and each piece is unique. We hope to pass on the art and aesthetics of the mountain through these handicrafts."

The friends bought some handicrafts and felt the unique charm of mountain dwelling art.They continue to explore the beauty of the town with fond memories of their handicrafts.
