Chapter 19 Journey to Tiantai Mountain
It was still early, and the group of four people almost didn't encounter a traffic jam, so they slowly drove away from the city.
Walking on the red road, the four of them began to discuss how to play in the past few days.
Xue Jin opened his mouth first and asked, "Xiao Ming, you have been to many places some time ago, where are we going to play this time?"
Hearing this, Comrade Wang glanced at Li Xiaoming strangely, and thought: "This kid is okay, when has he been to many places, if it weren't for these things this year, I'm afraid that Rongcheng would have been here twice! This bragging can be believed, no wonder so many people in business can't take advantage of him in negotiations." ”
Li Xiaoming didn't know Comrade Wang's inner activities, so he handed a bag of potato chips to Xue Jin, and then said, "Let's go to Tiantai Mountain." ”
"What? Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province, It's too far away, my parents won't agree. ”
"No, no, it's Congjiang W County (Jiangwen District was established in 2002 and is still a county, please be merciful.) The direction of the city of Anya, on the Tiantai Mountain in Qionglai. Li Xiaoming looked at Xue Jin as if he was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained.
Xue Jin listened, quietly put his mind at ease, and said: "Let's be clear, scare me, if I really go that far, my father will definitely break my leg for me." ”
Li Xiaoming smiled and thought to himself, there will always be a chance in the future.
The three of them plus a comrade Wang, who was already very funny, talked and laughed all the way, ate and drank. Before I knew it, I came to the foot of Tiantai Mountain, and it was almost 12 noon at this time.
Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu have visited here more than once in his later years. At that time, the reason why they came here to play was very simple, one was close, and the other was that the rafting and food here were very good.
In this era, the distance is actually about the same, that is, the highway has not yet been opened to traffic, and a lot of time is wasted on the road. But with beauty, time always flies very quickly.
Under the pretext that they had already checked the strategy on the Internet, Li Xiaoming and the others familiarly instructed Comrade Wang to drive the car to a restaurant near Shanmen.
Park your car. Several people got out of the car and took their luggage down and entered this hotel called [Walnut Villa].
Li Xiaoming and the two looked at the boss and the proprietress who were twenty years younger than in their memories, and they always felt very warm in their hearts.
Li Xiaoming politely said to the boss who had already come out to greet him at the door of the hotel when he heard the sound of the car: "Boss, let's stay in the hotel, and by the way, have a meal here at noon, please help us arrange four single rooms." ”
"Hello little brother, our environment is very good! Hygienic and beautiful, you can rest assured, you are satisfied! If you have any needs, you can tell us at any time, try your best to satisfy, try your best to satisfy!" said the boss with a smile as he reached over and helped them take their luggage.
Li Xiaoming waved his hand and blurted out: "Don't worry, boss, after so many years, we ......"
Chen Wu suddenly bumped him on the shoulder, interrupting what he said.
The boss spoke: "Hehe, little brother, what's wrong with so many years?"
"Oh, I mean, after so many years, we've heard a lot of people who come here say that you're a good place, so we chose you here. We will come often in the future, and the boss will give us a discount!"
When the boss heard this, he immediately felt very pleased, and it seemed that he had been maintaining real materials and good service was really rewarded, so he said happily: "Don't worry, little brother, I will introduce you to our old customers, and I will give you a discount for everything I say today! I will give you a special dish later, and you will be satisfied!"
"Hey, thank you boss!"
A few people handed over their luggage to the boss with confidence, directly found a table in the hotel lobby and sat down, took the menu handed over by the proprietress, Li Xiaoming was about to order, thought about it, handed the menu to Xue Da Meinu, and said: "Come, ladies first, beauties are the first priority." ”
Xue Jin glanced at him, gently took the menu, flipped through it, and said to the proprietress: "Sister, is it delicious to call flower chicken here?"
The proprietress listened to this sentence and said with a smile: "Little sister, let's call the flower chicken to roast only five a day, all of which are local chickens collected by the old farmers nearby, and the taste is particularly delicious, you can rest assured!"
Xue Jin hesitated, looked at Li Xiaoming, and found that he was looking at him with a smile, so he turned his head and said to the proprietress: "Sister, then let's have a chicken called Huaji." Let them order something else. With that, she handed the menu to Comrade Wang, who was sitting next to her.
Wang Maoli took the menu with a big grin and began to order: "Garlic bacon, stir-fried wild vegetables, tomato ball soup." That's all, that's all there are for the four of us. ”
"Do you want wine?"
"Don't, have fun in the afternoon, and watch it in the evening!"
"Okay, a few people sit down for a while, and the dishes will come soon!" The proprietress wrote the menu, poured tea for a few people, and went straight to the back kitchen.
The three of them sat for a few minutes, and the boss came down.
He gave the four of them four room cards, chatted with a few people with a smile, waited for the dishes to start coming up one after another, helped a few people bring the food over, and left tacitly.
A few dishes on the table are bright in color, and the first look makes several people's appetites move. Several people moved the chopsticks in their hands to taste this pure mountain delicacy.
The flower chicken lies in the center of the lotus leaf, the color is golden and buttery, and it is gently pinched with chopsticks, and it brings up a piece of fresh and tender skin and meat. There is also a little soup dripping down it, and the aftertaste is sweet in the mouth, with a slight bitterness of spices. The unique umami flavor of the chicken accentuates the flavor of this dish and makes people want to stop.
The meat of garlic bacon has just the right smoky taste, moderate saltiness, fat but not greasy, and it is simply a hard dish to eat.
The seasonal wild vegetables are verdant and crisp and sweet in the mouth, which also makes several people love it.
The last tomato ball soup ripens slightly to around October due to the altitude and temperature of Tiantai Mountain. It can be said that Xue Jin, who rarely eats really natural ripe tomatoes, was amazed.
She always felt that the tomato taste was very light and nothing to taste, but she didn't expect this tomato ball soup to give her a new experience.
The sweet and sour tomato flavor with a small amount of fat in the meatballs makes you whet your appetite and have an endless aftertaste.
When a few people stopped their chopsticks, they each found that the plates on the table were probably able to move the boss to tears, it was so clean......!
Several people looked at each other and laughed.
After eating, the money for accommodation and the meal money in recent days were handed over to the boss, a few people took a break, and then set off to get on the car and go to the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area, each of them was very happy because of the food, so they looked forward to the scenery after that.
On the way, Li Xiaoming began to introduce the history of Tiantai Mountain to Xue Jin and Comrade Wang: "Tiantai Mountain was originally called Dongmeng Mountain in ancient times, and there are two versions of the origin of this name. The first one is to say that in the ancient flood period, when Yu ruled the water and passed through the Shu Kingdom, he had chosen this mountain as the platform to ascend to the sky and worship the sky, and got the name of Tiantai; another more reliable statement is that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Taoists dug holes in this Xiangshan, built an altar to worship the gods, and officially set the name of this mountain as Tiantai Mountain. ”
He saw that Xue Jin listened attentively, so he continued to speak: "There are many celebrities related to this mountain, starting from Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, to Yuan Tiangang, the commander of Huojing County in the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tong and Lu You in the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, and Zhang Xianzhong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all have a relationship with this mountain. ”
When Xue Jin heard this, he was really interested: "Has Zhuge Liang also been here?"
In this era, it is the time when the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series is particularly popular, and many students will hum two sentences of "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", and it is normal to be interested in Zhuge Liang.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoming explained: "In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang went to Linqiong to check the reclamation of "Jiatun" and the excavation of "fire wells", and took the "wooden chair car" up the mountain to look, leaving the place names such as "Tianche Slope" and "Wangjunding", which we can all go to see later. ”
"Wow, really, then you must go and see it!" Xue Jin clapped his hands happily, looking eager to try.
Comrade Wang looked back at Li Xiaoming in surprise, and thought to himself: "This kid's hard work is not shallow, it's a bit interesting." ”
Several people listened to Li Xiaoming's continuous storytelling, and gradually arrived at the gate of Tiantai Mountain.
