What is the specialty of Zhenjiang?

There is a saying in the south of the Yangtze River: "There are three monsters in Zhenjiang. The vinegar is not bad, and the meat is not a dish. Cook the lid in a noodle pot."

Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, according to legend, was made by the son of ancient Du Kang. It has a unique flavor and is famous at home and abroad. It is characterized by sour but not astringent, fragrant but slightly sweet, strong color and fresh taste. What is even more strange is that the longer this fragrant vinegar is stored, the better it tastes. Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is famous for its "Jinshan brand".

Yaorou is the abbreviation of Yaohoof Meat, and it is also a traditional famous product in Zhenjiang. Dish meat, with white skin and red meat, is transparent in brine and looks like crystal, so it is also called crystal dish hoof. It has four characteristics: fragrant, crisp, fresh and tender, and it is fat but not greasy, and it tastes better with ginger vinegar. Legend has it that Yaorou has just come out, which coincides with the Eight Immortals' Zhang Guolao going to the Flat Peach Club, passing by Zhenjiang, smelling the meat, breaking into a couple's pub in Jiuhai Street and eating three and a half Yaorou in a row. He did not eat Yaorou as a dish but as a meal, which is the origin of the second monster. Since then, people have also eaten yaorou as a staple food. Nowadays, meat dishes are the most famous "Banquet Spring Restaurant" in Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang's following skills are amazing, also known as a freak. A large pot full of clear water, after noodles are put into the pot, a small pot cover is put into the noodle soup and let it float in the noodle pot. It is said that the noodles in this way are not hard, rotten and tasty, so this kind of noodles is also called "pot cover noodles". "Banquet Spring Restaurant" noodle soup is such a special snack.
