Snowy weather in Laiwu

Walking in the rain and snow, Lu' an tasted fish heads.

It is a good time to travel after the rain. I don't know who chose this day. Last time I wanted to go to Yexue Lake to eat fish, I predicted that there would be heavy rain, so I had to give up. That was last year. Last year. This time, I chose this day, and the rain came as scheduled. On the expressway, the rain that had just stopped for a while came again. Fortunately, it stopped for a while and there was no water on the road. When I arrived at Yexue Lake at nine o'clock, the mountain was empty, as if I had come to Xizi Lake. It's much better to go out on a rainy day in midsummer than in the sun.

I can't tell whether Ye Xuehu belongs to Laiwu or Zhangqiu. Just like wondering whether Weishan Lake belongs to Shandong or Jiangsu, and Daming Lake belongs to Lixia District or tianqiao district. The confusion of geographical location does not affect the interest in sightseeing. I have been here every season for these years, and I have climbed almost all the famous mountains around the lake. The lake happened to pass by, so I took a quick look in the car. When the spring is bright, you can occasionally enjoy the reflection of the mountain, and when there is a thin layer of ice in winter, you can also feel the melancholy of "crossing the Yellow River and ice choking the ferry". This is the first time to visit this lake.

The rain brought rare good weather. The lake is surrounded by mountains, and all the surrounding mountains are cultivated to create this wide lake. The rain just rained is foggy, and the clouds are not dissipating quickly, but rising slowly and steaming. When the rain is tight and slow, the outline of the mountain is sometimes blurred and sometimes fresh and beautiful. It is this hazy appearance that makes the poet gain the reputation of mountains and mountains in his works; It is with this fresh and beautiful color that we have the surprise of looking back and smiling. With such light makeup, I can't tell whether this is Ye Xuehu or Xizi Lake.

The car is driving on the dark red road around the lake, walking slowly and enjoying it slowly, listening to the drizzle knocking on the window, which is very comfortable. Stop at Huishengtai. Like Daming Lake, there is also an island called Toad Head in the center of the lake. The lush trees on the island are somewhat mysterious. All the ships on the tourist dock have left the port and sailed far to the other side, and soon they disappeared without a trace. The service staff said that it would take more than an hour to take a boat in the lake. I had to give up the idea of going to the island by boat. Two dragon boats on the shore were empty. The young people on the shore are divided into several groups and learn to row dragon boats in the rain. Several drums broke the calm lake.

Different from Xizi Lake, there are forks and wetlands around the lake, which adds a bit of wildness. Stroll among them, enjoy the small bridges and flowing water, and take the grassy plank road. If you don't pay attention, you will get lost in light and darkness. New green reeds with tall and straight roots thrive. Some are already more than one person tall, while others are waist-deep clusters. The new green and yellow of reeds are intertwined. Peel off the yellow skin outside, but it's fresh and tender inside. I really don't understand, is the yellow reed turning green in an instant, or is the new bud jumping so high overnight?

The must-see item for visiting Yexue Lake is to eat Yexue fish head or silver carp. It's hard to say which one is doing well. On the door, there is an authentic old-fashioned cooking secret recipe. As for the three ways to eat, each shop is different, or choose salty and spicy according to the taste of tourists. Only fish head soup is indispensable. The bigger the fish head, the better. The longer the stew, the fresher it will be. As for silver carp, you must choose silver carp. The silver carp market is far from perfect. As for the difference between silver carp and silver carp, just like the four-hole and four-beard carp in Weishan Lake is different from other carp, tourists can't tell it by the mouth of the store. It feels good to be confused.
