There is a small fishing house on Shuangzhazi Old Street not far from the Benyuantang Hotel. It specializes in fish hot pot. It has a good reputation on the Langzhong Food Ranking List. I will eat fish here tonight. The restaurant has a two-story building with a small front. There are about ten tables on the first floor and a small private room on the second floor. It is nice to eat and enjoy the scenery on the street terrace. The overall layout is elegant and fresh, and it looks quite clean and refreshing. We ordered a set meal for two people, which includes one and a half pounds of yellow croaker, a portion of tofu pudding, and vermicelli and bean sprouts as side dishes. It is just right for two people.
The yellow croaker is very fresh. It is killed after ordering. The waiter pours it into a small bamboo basket and covers it with a bamboo lid to prevent the jumping yellow croaker from jumping out. After ten minutes, you can take away the bamboo basket and start eating. The bottom of the pot is spicy enough and fresh and fragrant. The yellow croaker is tender, especially the stone-ground tofu that has been cooked for a long time in the pot. It is very tender and delicious after being dipped in the store's flavor seasoning.
After dinner, we walked around the ancient city. There were few people on the streets, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides. However, the most popular products were Langzhong specialties - Langzhong Baoning vinegar and Zhang Fei beef. From time to time, you can smell a unique aroma of vinegar in the whole ancient city. We also bought a large box of Langzhong handmade vinegar as a souvenir to take home.
We walked all the way to the "Weide" archway at the west gate, left the ancient city, and walked two more streets. It felt that the urban area of Langzhong was basically the same as the cities we usually go to. When we returned to Benyuantang Inn, it was already late at night and the lights were dim!
