Girls want to be smart, so they "beg for cleverness" in Chinese Valentine's Day; Couples hope to be happy and happy, so they come to the moon to wait for the meeting between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Meet with food, why not rely on a "clever" word.
There are too many coincidences in life, whether it is "small" or "clever", the birth of "seven clever" food itself has been synthesized by the ingenious ideas of countless gourmets and chefs. Looking for all kinds of "clever" food, we can't help but sigh: the cleverness of food lies outside this food. In the world, there are countless kinds of "clever" foods, and all we do is to attract jade. The so-called "coincidence is not a book", all kinds of delicious food, all kinds of real taste, but also rely on gourmets to savor it themselves.
