Weekend afternoons are always the busiest time of day on the pedestrian streets of Beta.

Without the pressure of class and the worry of homework, many students sleep directly into the afternoon. When they wake up, they are full of energy and have a lot of time, so the pedestrian street, which has many bars, food, and shops, is particularly favored.

Xu is a wizard in charge of the climate, and thinks that the thin thickness of the snow today is enough. When Zheng Qing and the gypsy witch left Shuangtang Ji, only scattered snowflakes fell slowly in the sky.

The wind gradually stopped, and some of the people who had stayed in the house because of the wind and snow before took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright and the snow was still beautiful, and they all rushed out in a swarm, strolling around the side streets with the snow.

As the most prosperous commercial street in Beta, the professional wizard of Betatown Pedestrian Street cleared the snow in the middle of the road early, leaving only the sides of the road and the roofs are still white, which is particularly eye-catching against the dark colors of the street.

Young public-funded students who have seen enough snow on campus naturally did not pay attention to the remaining snow scenes. One of his arms was held by a gypsy witch, and he was stiff and did not dare to move, for fear that he would behave in a way that would offend the witch next to him.

Yelena seemed to be more at ease than Zheng Qing.

didn't go far along the main street, Zheng Qing's eyes swept to a small archway in the slope, and his feet suddenly stopped.

"Don't you want to eat something delicious?" As soon as the wizard spoke, the lost courage came out of nowhere, and filled his chest with a grunt: "Over there, the food court on the pedestrian street, there are a lot of delicious foods in it. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the alley where the small archway was located.

The so-called food street is actually just a small alley on the pedestrian street of Beta Town, only a few hundred meters long and less than 20 steps wide. There are no courtyards on the left and right sides of the alley, and they are all neatly tall white walls, which were originally the dividing line between two blocks, but because of the proximity to the pedestrian street, there are many people, so gradually those hawkers who can't afford to rent a façade gather to do a small business by a few feet of land.

Compared with the well-known shops on the main street, these small vendors can provide very limited goods or services to the students of the First University - students buy law books to find Shangyuan Bookstore, buy textbooks and idle books to find Sanwei Bookstore, buy clothes with Whisk Floor, Green Spinning, and Yun Xiangyi, department stores have Green Grocery Store, clocks and watches have Hook Brothers Watch Store, jewelry has shepherd ornaments, daily use has mirror paintings, gifts have Apple Pavilion, and even those taboo items and gray guys have wandering bars to take care of.

After a few tosses, these small traders finally found a just right breakthrough - the cost of cooking food is not high, and with the help of the abundant customer flow on the main street, as long as there is one or two unique skills, there is no risk that business will not be able to continue - and therefore, this alley has gradually become a professional 'food street'.

The committee that manages the town is aware of it, but it is not stupid, and after the street is formed, it is slightly sorted out and incorporated into the unified management, and a small archway is set up at the mouth of the alley as a unified façade. This not only expands the market, employment, and adds character to the pedestrian street, but also adds a new income to the town's finances, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Of course, even after becoming a naturalized and 'full member' of the pedestrian street, the small traders still do a small business.

Push a cart, set up an iron pot, boil a few pots of hot tea, set up a row of dishes and chopsticks, pay more attention, and hire a few elves in aprons as waiters, helping to serve tea, pour water, cashiers and do chores;

After the two turned into the alley, they immediately felt the difference from the outside.

The shouts of the peddlers, the flickering rainbow lights on the humble signs of magic, the crowds of people coming and going, and the cacophony of voices overlapping in their ears.

It seemed that in an instant, they came from the world of 'spring and snow' outside to a world of 'Lower Riba People'.

This lively atmosphere full of life not only infects the students on the pedestrian street, but also seems to be affected by the weather - Zheng Qing also speculated whether the vendors here would close because of the snow.

"It smells so good!" the gypsy witch took a deep breath, her face full of intoxication.

Zheng Qing snorted, thinking deeply.

As soon as you step over the small torii, you seem to enter a new world. The air is filled with the smell of all kinds of food: sauce, acetate, wine-smoked, all kinds of colors, fried, fried, steamed, grilled, all five flavors.

Round octopus balls, oily mutton skewers, rich stewed lamb, refreshing large-leaf tea, all kinds of delicious food rush into the noses of the guests, stimulating their nasal mucosa; green green bees, yellow amber light, fiery red tobacco and alcohol, seducing everyone's gluttony, stimulating their retina; and the shouting in the alley, the sound of pushing and giving in, is even more involved in every pedestrian walking here.

"Well, the spell on this small archway is very interesting, and the magic shroud is unconventionally controlled in this alley, no wonder the snow is a foot thick outside, and there is not even a little muddy water inside. Zheng Qing subconsciously commented on the small archway that the two had just passed by, and showed off his professionalism.

When Yelena heard this, she immediately gave him a blank look.

"I've heard for a long time that there's a food court in town, and I haven't had time to walk around. The witch turned the subject back to the right path without a trace, and her tone was a little more excited: "You must eat enough today!"

"Definitely, definitely!" the young scholar also came to his senses, turned around, took two strings of fried balls from the small shop next to him, and stuffed them into the witch's hand: "Taste this, it is said to be made from the tentacles chopped off from the old octopus in the Mariana Trench...... But I guess it's just ordinary octopus balls, at most those octopuses are caught in the western Pacific. ”

"Hahahaha," Yelena laughed and trembled, "The boss is still around, can you say that?"

"Out of the way, out of the way. Next to him, the chubby round-faced boss of the croquette shop heard this, waved his hand again and again, and smiled: "I know it's a gimmick...... As long as everyone thinks my meatballs are delicious, it's fine. ”

The witch rolled her eyes and gave Zheng Qing a string of two strings of croquettes in her hand: "You can taste it too!"

Zheng Qing hesitated for a second, took it decisively, bit one, chewed it, stretched out his thumb at Yelena, and exclaimed: "It's soft and smooth, oily but not greasy! ”

The witch suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes:

"Don't praise me, praise the boss!"

"Don't eat too much if it's delicious...... I'm going to eat all of this street!"

"Take your time, eat one by one, eat a little bit at home. ”
