Northern Jiangsu ★★★★★ Hongze Lake ★ Huaian ★ Yangzhou

Note: Yangzhou is under the jurisdiction, while Huai 'an is under the jurisdiction of Xuyi, Hongze and Jinhu counties. Sihong and Shuyang belong to Suqian City. Gaoyou City, Baoying County, Yizheng City and Jiangdu City are under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou.

Introduction Let's talk about Hongze Lake first, because this is the end of the mother river Huaihe River, and I have an inexplicable desire for him to find out the truth. Originally, I took my son to the winter vacation of 2020-202 1, but unfortunately, I had to report to the province because of the epidemic. Even when I get there, many cultural units are closed because of the epidemic, but I will definitely go there in the future. I still want to go to Yangzhou to show my son the Grand Canal. My homework is still there.

There are a few points that I have only recently understood.

↓ This Bianhe River is so familiar.

The north and south of Hongze Lake are Suqian City and Huai 'an City. Suqian, Xiang Yu's hometown, is not worth visiting. Either Rome Lake is in the north of Hongze Lake, which is the back garden of Suqian. It is called a green city with almost no cultural background. To put it bluntly, it is not a heavy industry city, nor a mining city, nor a textile city. It can only claim to be a garden city.

The Huaihe River runs through it and is destined to become one of the land and water hubs for north-south traffic.

Qingjiang River refers to the main urban area of Huai 'an today. Stone wharf is an ancient water transport wharf in Qingjiangpu District of Huai 'an City. It was once a famous water transportation center in Qing Dynasty and a hub of Huai 'an. It is still a transportation hub from Huai 'an in the east, Huaiyin in in the west and Hongze in the north.

Qingjiangpu District is located here. In the past, the Yellow River, the Li Canal, the Grand Canal and the Huaihe River crossed the border. Later, roads and railways such as Beijing-Shanghai, Ninghuai, Ninglian and Xinchang Railway became important regional transportation hubs in northern Jiangsu today.

Huaian, called Huaiyin in ancient times, is adjacent to Wuhe, Hongze Lake and Xuyi in Jiangsu Province. In ancient Han Xin, she was located at the intersection of the Huaihe River and the Grand Canal, and was known as the thoroughfare of five provinces and the capital of canals.

This scenic spot is the ancient town of Xiahe and the residence of Zhou Enlai and Wu Cheng'en (Journey to the West). Ancient rivers, waterways, saltworks, and even the Governor's Office of Guhe and Cao Yun are located here. Xiahe Ancient Town is lined with streets along the Grand Canal, forming a huge and economical belt with dense city squares and criss-crossing streets. Huai 'an is also the hometown of Premier Zhou.

Because of heresy here, all kinds of artists make a living by busking on the docks, so that these ghost stories are deeply imprinted in Wu Cheng'en's childhood heart, and he dreams of becoming a writer as an adult. The Journey to the West's fantasy is his masterpiece.

Liu Bang's brothers, Liu Zhongzhi and Liu Bi, were canonized as vassals in northern Jiangsu. Who is Liu Zhong? His wife is very famous. Liu bang is a rogue like a poppy in the village. He didn't work on the farm at all, but went back to his brother's sister-in-law's house for dinner (his father told the boss). His sister-in-law dislikes this brother-in-law for being lazy. Once Liu Bang came to dinner and deliberately poured a pot of water at the door, insulting Liu Bang in an indecent way. This article fully describes the real image of rural women and is amazing. Later, Liu Bangrong returned to his hometown, and his sister-in-law and Liu Yima knelt at the door to meet Liu Bangrong.

What impressed Huai 'an people deeply was that Liu Bi created the local technology of cooking the sea as salt, which made northern Jiangsu extremely rich since the Han Dynasty. You know, in the past, salt and iron were commodities controlled by the state, and that salt was glittering silver in ancient times. Later, Liu Bi made her own money and entered the social circulation. He is as rich as the enemy and the most powerful king. In the end, his own inflation and death were destroyed by his nephew, the emperor.

Data collation:-"South Ship North Ma Huai 'an"

The governor's office, which transports grain and salt, is relished by the extravagant life of these greasy county magistrates in the past. In the Qing Dynasty, the governor of grain transportation collected 6.5438+million taels of silver from the national household every year, accounting for 654.38+0/6 of the national tax revenue. The purpose is to regulate the river and dredge the canal water transport, but it is busy in the early flood season and nothing happens in the second half of the year, so the glistening money in hand can make trouble. What are you doing? Wearing gold and silver, building a house is too ostentatious and gives people a handle. The only thing to do is to eat and eat all the flowers, which has never been seen before. Here is a story.

In order to eat pork tenderloin, the only thing I can think of is pork, which must be black-haired pigs, pure inorganic feed, not swill+April fat pigs, but people rushed home with 80 black-haired pigs, making their backs nervous with special bamboo sticks, killing each pig to make tenderloin, and throwing away all the rest.

Every time I run, more than 80 stoves are more than 80 chefs. Every chef will cook several special dishes in his life, all of which are fine, and nothing else. Who can do better than him?

These governors are not all Han Chinese, but most of them are Manchu. He used to only eat barbecue. When they arrived in Huai 'an, the cooks tricked him, and he snorted ...! Crooked nose, delicious! It is delicious. I will like the dishes cooked by Han people in the future, but sometimes it is boring and I really want to talk about it. So these chefs have all kinds of grassland food, and they have a table, 100 dishes, and every chopstick has a taste. The so-called Manchu-Han banquet came from here.

According to statistics, from 1750 to 1850, a total of 300 million taels of silver were eaten, with an average of 12000 taels of silver per day. And this just takes 1/3 and throws away the rest. What a waste.

It was not until 190 1 that the army made an insurrection in the Jianghuai area, until it attacked Qingyangpu in Huai 'an, then invaded Huai 'an and set fire to the governor's office of grain transportation. Later, sea transportation and railways replaced grain transportation, so it was abolished in this year. Since then, Huai 'an and Yangzhou have declined one after another.

Qing Yan Park is the private residence of Governor Cao Yun, which contains pavilions, lakes, rocks and rockeries.

In the past, because of traffic control, the court stipulated to go ashore in Dengzhou, Huai' an, rest for a day or two, and pass customs only after approval. Eating and drinking Lazar locally these days has promoted the catering industry in Huai' an; With the development of entertainment and pornography, tastes from the south to the north collide here, and local Huaiyang cuisine (Huai 'an, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang) is born.

The most famous is the long fish (eel) banquet, especially the so-called soft bag, which is to put the eel in a cloth bag, cook it in a pot, then roll it up and separate the flesh and blood. Because hanging on chopsticks means just right (soft and waxy), it is called a soft bag.

Huai 'an locals like to cook with Typha latifolia. They pretend to specify what Typha latifolia is planted in the ditch near ChristianRandPhillips Temple. This thing is long and peeled off, but it is thin and long, green, soft and tender. It can be made into soup or fried. But the price is expensive, 40-50/ kg in summer and 1000/ kg in winter. The important man waded into the chest-deep swamp and picked it up from the reeds. The man boasted in front of the screen that he had planted this ancestral plant, which meant a special technical barrier. There are cattail leaves in other places, but the mouth is awkward.

In a word, local cooks in Huai 'an don't travel like Sichuan cooks, and they are always content with the status quo, so that the whole world is the signboard of Sichuan hot pot, and Huaiyang people feel at ease and happy. Is there a golden signboard of Huaiyang cuisine near us?

Abstract:-Huai 'an Cuisine among the People-Authentic Scenery of chinese national geography-Jiangsu Huai 'an Cuisine

Huaian, which connects the north and south of the great river, was once known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

The Huaihe River, which divides China from south to north, passes through Huai 'an City. People from all over the world communicate with each other and ingredients from all over the world collide with each other. In this "neither south nor north" city, a group of China's most delicious people collided, and Huaiyang cuisine, one of the eight major cuisines, was born.

In Qing Dynasty, Huai 'an and its surrounding Huai 'an salt once accounted for 1/4 of the national fiscal revenue.

Rich salt merchants are especially good at eating, and they try their best to collect famous chefs and exotic products from all over the world, which also gives birth to a special product: Huai' an cook. Numerous court officials have named Huai 'an chefs. When local officials leave their jobs, they often take one or two Huai 'an cooks with them. Even Huai 'an chefs give them to friends or bosses as gifts.

Huai 'an proverb: "Learning is easy, but cooking is difficult." It can be seen that Huai' an people have high requirements for food! Today, Huai 'an is still an important inheritance place of Huaiyang cuisine, and the China Huaiyang Cuisine Culture Museum is located here.

What delicious Huai 'an foods have you eaten? They are soft-skinned long fish, Qin Gong meatballs, fried fish cakes, Gulou tea cakes, Wenlou crab roe soup packets and Xuyi crayfish.

Shrimp with white sauce and soft-skinned long fish are also called "Huai fried Shuangfeng". The so-called soft-skinned eel looks like the soft skin of a child with chopsticks. It is chewy and elastic.

There are countless dishes in Huai 'an, such as Qin Gong meatballs, Pingqiao tofu and Zhuqiao domestic fish, which are all named after their villages and towns.

Abstract: The delicious food in Huai 'an.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Wu was unwilling to be partial. He has always wanted to enter the Central Plains and step onto a bigger historical stage. Defeating the king of Chu is nothing to be afraid of. He wanted to pick a soft persimmon to fight Qi, but he suffered from the great rivers in northern Jiangsu, which was not conducive to the army's March. For the land of Qilu in the direction of Henan and Shandong, he ordered the Grand Canal, that is, Hangou, to be dug from Yangzhou to Huai 'an.

The excavation of Han ditch greatly shortened Wu's military supply route, made the northward advance safer and more convenient, and improved Wu Jun's combat strength in the north. In 484 BC, Fu Cha heard that after his death, his ministers fought for power and profit, and the newly established monarch was young and ready to attack Qi. Wu Zixu advised Fu Cha to get rid of Gou Jian first to avoid future trouble. Fu Cha didn't listen, but listened to the uncle's rumor and gave him a sword to kill himself. Before committing suicide, Wu Zixu said to the crowd, "Please gouge out my eyes and put them on the east gate. I want to see Yue destroy Wu. "

In May of that year, Fu Cha, together with Lu and Yue, led a hundred thousand troops to attack Qi, and Qi also sent a hundred thousand troops to meet them. The two armies fought in Aileen (now Laiwu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province). Defeat the Qi army. Because Fu Cha's main purpose is to be the overlord, not the extermination. After Aileen's World War I, Fuxi took a big step towards hegemony, and Qi was no longer an obstacle to Wu's hegemony. After the war, Wei, Song and other countries in the Central Plains also quickly expressed their surrender to Wu.

After defeating Qi, Fu Cha's final goal was the most powerful state of Jin at that time. In 482 BC, in order to compete with the State of Jin, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, almost spent all his money to go north along the waterway and agreed to form an alliance with Fu Cha, the king of Wu, in Huangchi (now south of fengqiu county, Xinxiang City, Henan Province). At the union meeting, Wu Jun's "phalanx of ten thousand people's thoughts is in full swing, with white dresses, white flags, plain armour and white clothes (zēng). The same is true of Zuo Jun, where the embarrassment of all red, red (yú), Jia Dan and Zhu Yu is like fire. The powerful military strength greatly shocked all countries in the alliance, and Fuxi was finally able to dominate the alliance.

Let readers walk into the rural landscape of Gaoyou and Subei, which is a dream water town.

Gaoyou, now Yangzhou, is located in the south of Huai 'an120km. In 223 BC, Qin destroyed Chu, built a high platform and set up a postal kiosk here, so it was called Gaoyou, also known as Qin Post. We went by car. The Beijing-Shanghai Expressway along the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal goes south, and it has been accompanied by the high-speed railway bridge in Huaiyang Town for 30 meters to the west. Canal, highway and high-speed rail can represent history, modernity and future. I visited Gaoyou of Wang Zengqi in the Canal Age.

Gaoyou is really a water city. It is adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west and the Canal in the west. It is gaoyou lake, and Gaoyou is called "West Lake". Chengzi River and Yanhe River pass through the city. Wang Zengqi said that in his hometown, "what the eyes and ears meet is nothing more than water."

High-ranking celebrities come forth in large numbers, including his hometown. He was a student of Su Dongpo and died on his way out.

Gaoyou people have deep feelings for Qin Shaoyou. The young man loves his feelings, and the phrase "two feelings have been going on for a long time, sooner or later" has captured many hearts of looking for an object; Some people sympathize with his difficult fate and want to pin something on him.

I bought a book "Family Sitting Around, Lights Kindly" as a souvenir.

There is a map of Gaoyou ancient town in front of the book, which is drawn according to Wang's travel notes. It can be used as a reference when reading Wang's works, and also as a guide map.

Abstract: Southern Weekend-Gaoyou of Wang Zengqi.

Some experts pointed out that the real hairy crab market from Yangcheng Lake is only about 300 million yuan per year, but in 2065438+2009, the crabs sold under the signboard of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were as high as 30 billion yuan. This means that the probability of buying real Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is only 1%.

In other words, the number of pure Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in the market is less than 1%.

This can also be reflected in the breeding area: at present, the breeding area of hairy crabs in China has reached 6,543,800 mu, of which the Yangtze River Delta area is 5 million mu, while the Yangcheng Lake area is only 6,543,800 mu, accounting for 654.38+0.8%.

There are no crabs in the sun.

But in fact, it is only in the Yangtze River Delta region. Besides Yangcheng Lake, there are also high-quality production areas such as Taihu Lake, Gucheng Lake, Hongze Lake, Changdang Lake, gaoyou lake, Dazong Lake and Nanyi Lake. Dongting Lake and Honghu Lake in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are also important producing areas of hairy crabs.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Dong general Ding Feng reclaimed land around the lake, hence the name Gu Danyang osawa. Osawa in ancient Danyang includes Danyang Lake, Shijiu Lake, Gucheng Lake, Qianhu Lake, Nanyi Lake and surrounding large-scale low-lying wetlands, with a total area of 3.5 million mu. In other words, today's Yangcheng Lake is only a small part of the ancient Danyang osawa.

Osawa in ancient Danyang has been the main producing area of hairy crabs since ancient times, and the hairy crabs produced are called Huajin crabs, which is regarded as one of the three major hairy crab brands in ancient China.

On September 16, under the guidance of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Cooperation Office and the agricultural authorities of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, the first Yangtze River Delta Hairy Crab Cloud Festival opened in Shanghai. At the opening ceremony, Taihu Lake, Gucheng Lake, Hongze Lake, Changdang Lake, gaoyou lake, Dazong Lake, Nanyi Lake, Wuhu, Xinghua and other high-quality hairy crab producing areas in the Yangtze River Delta joined hands with Pinduo to form the "Yangtze River Delta Hairy Crab Cloud Race Alliance". In the future, more crabs with good supply will move to new e-commerce.

Take Zuo Peng, deputy head of Hongze District, Huai 'an as an example. There are more than 60,000 hairy crabs in Hongze Lake in a single field, and the average price of a single small-sized hairy crab is only a dozen yuan.

The reason why I excerpted this article is because when I was lucky enough to travel in northern Jiangsu, I could also taste delicious river crabs if the season was right, especially in Hongze Lake area, when the crab paste was yellow and fat in winter, I was lucky to think about it.

But since then, salt merchants have stepped onto the historical stage, taking Yangzhou as their base camp. Later, Huizhou merchants monopolized the salt industry and told many stories, which is another story.

Historical data show that during the Qianlong period, the income of salt industry was 70-80 million yuan, which was equivalent to 1/8 of the total national economy (GDP), while during the same period (1.772), the profits of these salt merchants were1.500 million yuan, which shows how much the country relied on salt tax revenue. Of course, monopoly must breed corruption.

Du Mu said that "Yangzhou is famous for its brothels once every ten years", and Xu Ningzan praised "There is a moonlit night on earth, and there are hooligans in Yangzhou in two places", which is so romantic and charming, especially Li Bai's poem: "An old friend said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March". Once, I set foot on Yangzhou Road, a world-famous spring breeze, looking for Yangzhou, which is full of singing and dancing, feasting and picturesque scenery.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying that "Hangzhou wins with lakes and mountains, Suzhou wins with shops, and Yangzhou wins with gardens and pavilions, and the three are evenly matched".

The article also strongly recommended and boasted the gardens in Yangzhou, but for me, I was really interested in it, and I didn't feel the culture of being a Dojo in this snail shell.

Yangzhou morning tea is famous for Fuchun, Ye Chun, * * and Chunsanchun. Old Yangzhou strongly recommended me to go to the Ye Chun Teahouse next to the Royal Pier, which is where their locals often go to have morning tea. Yechun Garden is antique and is said to be the mansion of a big family in ancient times. In Yangzhou, eating a morning tea is also quite ceremonial. Let's order a cup of "Quelongzhu" first. This kind of tea is made from the clear of Kuizhen in Anhui, the flavor of Longjing in Zhejiang and the fragrance of Cynthia in Yangzhou. Known as "one pot cooks three provinces".

Steamed buns are also the highlight of Yangzhou morning tea. As the saying goes, Yangzhou steamed buns are all over the world There are many kinds of steamed buns in Yangzhou, including three-ding buns, five-ding buns, bean paste buns, dried vegetable buns, steamed buns and crab soup buns.

"There is water in the morning and water at night" is the most vivid description of life in Yangzhou. "water in the skin" refers to taking a bath and soaking in a steaming bath, and the whole body feels comfortable; "Packing water" means eating morning tea, sitting in a tea shop in the morning, eating a cup of green tea, a plate of dried silk and a few snacks slowly until the steamer piles up into a hill.

Tea is usually green spring or lack of dragon balls. The name of the former is taken from the poem "Green Yang Guo Cheng is Yangzhou" and the century-old Ye Chun teahouse; The latter was created by Fuchun Tea House, another old shop. However, most old Yangzhou people bring their own tea. On the one hand, the quality of tea in restaurants may not be outstanding, on the other hand, individuals also have their own preferences. Plus (my own stingy idea), I can save some tea money.

Hot drying silk is a test of knife skills. Cut a piece of dried white tofu into 24 pieces, and the roots are clearly cut. Blanch it quickly with boiling water, then take it out and pour it with sauce.

Crab soup dumplings are the most expensive, with thin skin and plenty of juice. When eating, carefully suck out the whole juice mixed with crab roe and pork with a straw. This step is very easy to burn your mouth, so the store also sells crab roe buns without soup.

Sandingbao is the representative of Yangzhou morning tea, which I seldom see in other places. Diced chicken, diced meat and diced bamboo shoots, with meat dishes, add a refreshing flavor to bamboo shoots and bring a crisp taste. The upgraded version of Wudingbao has two expensive ingredients, shrimp and sea cucumber, so the name on the menu is often called "Wudingbao for salt merchants", which means that it was originally something that only the rich Yangzhou salt merchants can eat, and it looks very advanced.

There are green leaves in the stuffing of the jade steamed dumplings, and a touch of light green is appearing through the thin skin, but I prefer to eat steamed dumplings with pine nuts, which are full and fragrant when chewed.

Another snack I like very much is a thousand layers of oil cake, which is divided into 64 layers, and the layers of sugar and oil appear alternately. It tastes soft but not greasy, and the sweetness is not excessive. Eating a cloud should taste like this.

Now when it comes to Yangzhou morning tea, we can't help but mention "three springs": Fuchun, * * * and Spring. These three restaurants are the most famous representatives of Yangzhou old teahouse, so there are inevitable common problems of old teahouse: many branches, many customers, and difficult to guarantee the quality.

Local people who have eaten morning tea for decades vote with their feet and rarely go to the "Three Springs" again. When asked, their disappointment is beyond words-steamed buns are either refrigerated in advance or uniformly made in old stores and sent to branches in the cold chain, but now they are not packaged or steamed, and the difference in taste may not be seen by outsiders, but the taste buds of local old diners will know that they are not fresh enough when they taste them. How can they stand it?

Now I want to eat freshly cooked snacks, and the locals recommend Yiyuan Hotel to me. Be seated before 7: 30 in the morning. The price is twice as expensive as that of an ordinary morning tea shop. Wait at least ten or twenty minutes after ordering-steam it on the stove according to your order. When served, it was steaming, the dough was soft and tender, and the filling was just right.

There is also a garden teahouse outside the ancient city, which is also a freshly cooked snack. Its taste is beyond the "Three Springs" and it is especially worth eating.

Interesting Garden Teahouse near Slender West Lake is also a hot spot in recent years. Fun Garden was once used for sightseeing during the Qianlong period, and the restaurant took a high-end route (although the high-end in Yangzhou is really not expensive). Eating morning tea here can be regarded as a luxurious day to experience a handful of salt merchants. The environment is elegant and atmospheric, the snacks are well-made and the ingredients are carefully selected. Five bags are very willing to put sea cucumber and shrimp.

Salt merchants are cultured, and the ingredients are not blindly pursuing rarity, but more seasonal and fresh, and the practices should be fine.

For example, you should eat saury in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day in spring, otherwise the meat after Tomb-Sweeping Day is not tender enough. Another kind of river fresh shad should be enjoyed in late spring. It is said that shad will die without water, and it is extremely difficult to eat fresh ones. Legend has it that in the Qing Dynasty, Huaiyin Salt Bureau sent boats to cast nets in the Yangtze River, and cooked them in the boats immediately after catching shad. At the same time, the boat galloped back along the canal and arrived at Yangzhou House. The fish was just ripe for eating.

"Three Seasons of the Yangtze River" is still expensive, but it is easier to eat than in the past. High-end restaurants, such as Fun Garden Tea House and Yangzhou Banquet, all have spring seasonal menus listed by Jiang Xian.

Perhaps the most famous Huaiyang cuisine is the lion head with crab powder. It looks like an ordinary big meatball, and it can be amazing to eat: fat but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth. The most famous shop for making lion heads is Lion Building in Yangzhou. The signature lion head made by "Sunflower Cutting Meat" is much bigger than a fist.

Tofu is a common ingredient in Huaiyang cuisine, especially reflecting the subtlety of knife work. Boiled dried silk is a famous dish in Huaiyang at the state banquet. The dried tofu is cut evenly and carefully, and the seasoning is delicious. The delicious soup with dried silk is smooth and refreshing. Vince tofu has higher requirements for knife workers. Soft tofu was cut into countless pieces and floated in the soup.

Huaiyang cuisine also includes stewed silver carp head, three-piece set of duck, soft-pocketed long fish (eel) and other dishes, all of which have spent a lot of thought and effort to make the common ingredients delicious.

Yangzhou, located in the north of the Yangtze River, is a mixture of northern culture and southern culture. Obviously, it makes good use of local products, such as eel and tofu, but it is not limited to the local scenery. For example, five bags of sea cucumbers are not the output of Yangzhou.

I think the food in old streets and alleys is not inferior to high-end banquets at all. Even in my preference for ordinary flavor, the street flavor can touch the soul of Yangzhou better.

For example, a bowl of Yangchun noodles or jiaozi noodles.

Jiaozi is similar to Wonton Noodles in Guangdong Province. They are a combination of jiaozi and noodles. Eating two things in a bowl is convenient and practical. "jiaozi" doesn't mean jiaozi in the north, but wonton, which is mostly filled with bamboo shoots and served with soup with shrimp sauce, and tastes fresher. Jiaozi noodle restaurant in Jiangjiaqiao is famous for its jiaozi noodles. A bowl of jiaozi noodles with shrimps only needs 7 yuan, which is cheap and good. Jiaozi noodles can be sold not only for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner, so there are always many people in the shop.

Walking around the old city, you can see the signboard of "Yangzhou Old Goose" everywhere, sometimes it is a small shop, and sometimes it is just a big car. "Old Goose" is not an old goose, but an old braised goose. The bittern of each family has different formula, so it tastes different. It is also nice to buy a quarter and take it back to the hotel as a snack.

Jiangsu seems to generally like to eat vermicelli. Nanjing and Zhenjiang are full of old duck vermicelli soup and duck blood vermicelli soup. Yangzhou people love to eat roasted vermicelli, steamed in casserole, with rich side dishes and delicious soup.

Yangzhou fried rice, which is famous all over the world, has been officially standardized: the main ingredients are indica rice and fresh eggs, and the ingredients are sea cucumber, chicken leg meat, ham, scallops, shrimps, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and green beans. You can compare it when you eat.

In addition, the pickles of Third Sister and Fourth Sister, and the tea of Daqinlinge are old and famous shops, but they only sell ordinary and affordable. Mr. Wang Zengqi compared Yangzhou pickles to northern pickles.

As for tea and food, all the cakes in the south are much more exquisite and diverse than those in the north, not to mention Yangzhou. The most interesting thing is King Kong's navel, called "Hexagonal Clack", which is often sold in street stalls.

Yangzhou's favorite restaurant is Huyuan Restaurant, which is located in Dongquanmen, an old street near the bustling Dongguan Street, but it is often missed by tourists. The storefront itself is also very simple, with a narrow facade and little space inside. ..... The food served was excellent. The roast goose is delicious, and the pork liver is fried just right. Viscera lovers, like me, are surprised and happy with the smelly fat sausage, which is spicy and delicious. Stinky tofu is especially tender, and the fat sausage has no smell.

How delicious is Yangzhou, the food capital of the world? 》

After a full meal, I went to Dongguan Street for a stroll, and the old shops were full of beautiful things. Yangzhou has been a place of fireworks since ancient times, and those Qin Lou Chu Guan also gave birth to Xie Fuxiang, a century-old shop. Ladies who love beauty must buy some boxes of rouge gouache to take back when visiting Dongguan Street. The business of bathhouses with lanterns is surprisingly good. People in Yangzhou love to take a bath. "Pack water at night" means going to the bathhouse after dinner, taking a bath, rubbing your back and sticking your feet. It seems that all the dust in the day has been washed away.

The alley near Dongguan Street is full of fun.

"Turn to Beijing Hutong and visit Yangzhou Hutong". If the ancient city is compared to the human body, then the alley is a crisscross of blood vessels in the body. The alleys in Yangzhou are somewhat similar to the hutongs in Beijing. Xiao Gan, a famous writer, described the hutong in Beijing as "a touching symphony, with a series of cries in the early morning ..." If the hutong is a symphony, it is undoubtedly a flute with deep and long grievances. Ordinary houses with green bricks and tiles on both sides of the alley. When it was misty and rainy, I wandered alone in this "long and lonely rain lane" with an oil-paper umbrella. I don't know if I can really bump into a girl who is "as sad as lilac".

Yangzhou Ancient Canal is the oldest section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Walking along the ancient canal, historic sites are scattered all over, covering almost the development history of Yangzhou ancient city. The Grand Canal nurtured Yangzhou City and became the "root" of Yangzhou.

Qionghua Road, a grand canal built with the flesh and blood of working people, has made Yang Di bear the eternal stigma and become the image spokesperson of a tyrant and a bad king, but it is also this grand canal that has made Yangzhou the throat of national water transportation. There is a proverb that "the salt of the Huaihe River makes the world salty", and the Huaihe River near Yangzhou is the largest sea salt producing area in China. In the Qing Dynasty, one billion Jin of sea salt was transported to all parts of the country through Yangzhou every year, and the pockets of salt merchants in Yangzhou swelled up. They created a prosperous city and a splendid old house of salt merchants along the ancient canal.

Yangzhou Gaomin Temple is located at the mouth of Sancha River at the intersection of the ancient canal and Yiyang River in the southern suburbs.

-"Spring breeze is green, Yangzhou is the city of salt merchants in Yang Liuan".

-"Wait until the fireworks in March to go to Yangzhou". Southern weekends are all about geography.

Taizhou is adjacent to Yangzhou, which has jurisdiction over Yangzhou, and Hu Zhe Wetland Park is in the east of Yangzhou.

You can go to Daohe Cao Yun Old Street, where there is the Gu Jing Museum. The old street is very long, basically along the canal. Let's start with Taizhou, which has a history of two thousand years. Because of the quantity of the sea, the ancient cooking of the sea was salt, and the ancient salt industry was equivalent to modern oil, which was controlled by the government, leading to financial culture and wealth.
