Chapter 378: Jiangzhou Night (3)
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea. Jiujiang is located on the riverside, surrounded by lakes and famous mountains, naturally famous for river goods and mountain goods, such as Wuning stick fish, also called horsehead fish, the head is big and the kiss is flat, the lips are thick and the whiskers are thick, the meat is solid, the intermuscular spines are few, the taste is delicious, the braised and spicy stews are all available, it is a special dish in the Wuning Lake District. In addition, there are Peng Ze crucian carp and so on, which are also rare river goods. In terms of mountain goods, there are also fresh bamboo shoots from Lushan, which are all first-class ingredients.
The foreman picked up and introduced their signature dishes and practices to them one by one, and listened to a few people becoming more and more hungry, and finally ordered "Rich Money Bag", "Jiujiang Dragon Boat Fish and Rice Town", "Lychee Guiyu Roll" and "Shatou Kohlrabi Braised Bighead Fish" four dishes, as well as fresh fish soup, plus osmanthus tea cakes, Jiujiang tea cakes and several snacks such as Xiushui whistle, which are the most distinctive dishes in the local area.
Originally, the beautiful foreman also recommended a "drunkard chicken", but at noon, a few people had just eaten three cups of chicken, and they heard that this drunkard chicken was similar to it, so they didn't ask for it.
As soon as the foreman left, a waiter brought tea. Before the person arrived, the aroma had drifted over, and when they arrived in front of them, everyone saw that the tea buds were fat, the cords were beautiful, and the soup was clear, so that people liked it.
"One rain, one hundred waterfalls, one peak and a thousand clouds"
Wu Chen picked up the teacup and slowly brought it to his mouth, but he didn't just drink it, but closed his eyes, shook his head and inhaled it, only to feel that a fragrance entered his heart and lungs, which deserved to be a famous product of Lushan! It seems that this teahouse has really invested in blood, and it has not fooled itself with ordinary tea.
In fact, he really doesn't know that Jiujiang is close to the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the living customs have some cultural heritage, which is very different from Nanyue Province, such as the tea house on this street, which is a place for tourists to taste tea and rest, because there are more people who drink, there are naturally high and low grades, and the price is also very different. In a sense, this is also a fully competitive market, so few people will do such a thing as shoddy, otherwise once it spreads, it will be difficult to gain a foothold.
"Tea is good tea, just smell it and make you hungry!" Kong Si also praised it, but why was this so wrong.
"Let's have a snack first."
At this moment, the snacks they asked for were brought up one by one, and hot tea was served, and the two went well.
"What is this? Pretty good! When Big Tooth saw one of the baskets of snacks, it looked a bit like the "Xiao Mi" in his hometown, so he sandwiched one, and felt that the skin was tender and fragrant, which was very refreshing.
"This is a water whistle." The waiter standing behind him saw that none of them knew each other, so he introduced them.
"Whistle? The shape is not very similar, but it is a bit like a small longevity peach. Before Daya finished speaking, he saw that Wu Chen and Kong Si were flying chopsticks, and they had already eliminated two, so they quickly clamped one and put it in Xu Jing's bowl. Be polite to these two foodies, and you can only eat a steamer when you turn around!
"Well, it's called a whistle, but this whistle word was created by the water cultivators according to the dialect, but it is not in the dictionary." The waiter was good-natured, explained to him further.
Legend has it that in the Xia Yu era, mountain floods and waterfalls occurred in the Xiushui area, farmland and villages were destroyed, and crops were not harvested, and farmers relied on going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and fruits for a living. Later, Dayu came to repair the water and organized the masses to control the flood. The local people are very grateful to Dayu for his exploits and kindness in controlling the water, but they can't take good things to contribute in that famine year. In the face of high mountains and dense forests, an old farmer proposed that everyone go up the mountain to get some game to see off Dayu, a little heartfelt. So after everyone had discussed it, they sent people up the mountain to dig wild potatoes and wild beasts on the other. The wild potato dug up is cooked and made into a skin, the beast meat is cut into a filling, wrapped into a kind of food, the shape is sharp and round, named the whistle, and the upper is dedicated to Dayu.
"Hey, I said can you eat less, there's a big meal later!" Seeing that the two of them were buried in their heads, Big Tooth didn't regret it much, and shouldn't have kept talking to the waiter.
Xu Jing is a girl, the amount of food is small, not as hungry as a few of them, eat a little, see that the main dish has not come up yet, so go to the window, enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.
"Hey, what's that, it's pretty."
At a glance, the lake is so big that it seems to have no edges, and you can only roughly judge the trend according to the lights. Xu Jing saw that not far away, an attic with exceptionally bright lights seemed to be very lively.
The waiter asked, glanced at her gesture, and said, "That's Xunyang Building!" ”
"Xunyang Tower? Is it famous? Da Ya, who was still on the edge of the table, heard their conversation and interjected and asked, if he knew about the Yellow Crane Tower and Yueyang Tower, there were middle school texts or poems, as for this Xunyang Tower, he had no impression at all.
Wu Chen was drinking tea to clear his stomach, he had just eaten a few whistles, and he was a little sticky, and when he saw Big Tooth looking at him, he whined twice and pointed to Kong Si.
"Thanks to you, you've read 'Water Margin'!" Song Gongming sent Jiangzhou City'Remember? There is 'Xunyang Building Song Jiang inscription anti-poem' inside. "Kong Sizheng is a top student majoring in archaeology at Peking University, and he has done antiques, so he is naturally familiar with these allusions.
"I'm going? That's where the little black thief went on the road of rebellion? "When Daya heard that there was still this coming, he had watched the Water Margin many times, but he really didn't remember these details.
"Isn't that it? It is said that you are not careful in reading, and you still don't admit it! Wu Chen took a sip of tea, then answered, "Not only Song Jiang Lao'er, Bai Letian's "Pipa Xing" was also written here, who cried the most in the audience?" Jiangzhou Sima Qing shirt wet. Isn't this Jiangzhou? ”
"Cut, it's just a pleasure to read, isn't it? In other words, everyone knows that Guan Yun rode alone for thousands of miles, broke through five levels and killed six generals, which is called a majesty, but how many people remember that it was the six levels? If you can, you can report it one by one now! Big Tooth was a little embarrassed and smiled, but disarming and surrendering has never been his style.
Wu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, but if it wasn't for Xu Jing's question just now, he really forgot about such a place, it seems that he can go over and have a look when he has dinner, but he doesn't know if it is open at night, so he called a waiter to come over and ask.
The waiter is very heroic, and Xunyang Tower is also a place of interest for them here.
This Xunyang building is also open at night, and with the night view of the lake, it is more beautiful than the daytime, if you are interested, you can go inside, the first floor is mainly about the water margin characters and stories of the furnishings, the second floor of the Zhongyi Hall for the Song Jiang drunken inscription poem place, as well as the introduction of the history of Xunyang Building books and local scenic spots. The third floor is the cloister, which mainly displays calligraphy and paintings. The fourth floor is the tea room, which is also the best place to enjoy the scenery, full of antique tables and chairs, you can overlook Lushan Mountain and the Yangtze River closely, but at night, you can only see the night view.
"But you have to buy a ticket to go in, and it's not expensive, twenty yuan per person, so there should be no problem for you." A girl next to her interjected. "If you don't want to go in, it's also very interesting outside, you can walk along the river, and on this side is the big square, there are cultural performances, and there is an antique market."
Hearing that there is an antique market here, Wu Chen and Kong Si's eyes lit up, this dare is good, is it true!
I want to come to this Jiangzhou as a north-south thoroughfare, connecting the south of the Yangtze River on the top, connecting the two crosses below, and the Yangtze River DC from east to west, which is originally a connection point for cultural interaction, and there are naturally a lot of historical relics. In addition, it is close to Poyang Lake, and Nanchang and Jingdezhen are just across the lake, forming a triangle, which is always interconnected, especially porcelain.
Thinking about it this way, the interest of the two of them is quite high, although Daya and Xu Jing don't care so much about antiques, but they are going to go out to shop, how can they not go to this kind of place?
As he spoke, the food came up, and it was delicious! Eat very happy, turn around and check out, it's really not cheap, there is no wine, four people ate five thousand yuan, no way, this is the minimum consumption, and others come to this private room, all eat, drink tea, chat and watch the scenery, by the way, listen to the commentary or something, where are they like them, just after eating, they are in a hurry to leave.
Out of the door, a few people went straight to Xunyang Building, the night breeze is blowing, the lake view is pleasant, it is the lively time after dinner, people come and go, it seems extraordinarily prosperous.
To the near, only to find that this Xunyang building really deserves its name, the outer three floors, the inner four floors, the top of the nine ridge layers, the green and dai tile, the eaves warped corners, the cloisters on all sides, simple and solemn, with obvious imitation Song style.
The eaves carved on the ancient building are extraordinarily magnificent, and a plaque is hung high outside the carved eaves, and the three big characters of "Xunyang Building" are written. It is said that this plaque was originally mentioned by Su Shi, and the great writer wanted to inscribe the four words "Xunyang Restaurant", but accidentally inked the word "wine", so he made a mistake and simply removed the word "wine", and the spirit was much greater.
However, what is hanging on it now is obviously not the original plaque with the inscription of the Dongpo monks, otherwise I am afraid that it will not take a few days to let people get rid of it, this is a naked Dongpo handwriting!
Entering the inside, see the porcelain portraits of 108 generals of Liangshan displayed in the hall on the ground floor, lifelike, different postures, the large porcelain plate paintings inlaid on the walls on both sides, depicting the colorful gypsum statue of Song Jiang inscribed "Xijiang Moon" "anti-poem" on the Xunyang floor in that year, and there are Song Jiang's "anti-poems" written by today's people on the wall.
However, Wu Chen was not interested in these at all, so he went directly to the second floor, looked at calligraphy and paintings, and waited for a while to see Daya and Kong Si coming up from downstairs with relish, gathering together, and when they reached the top floor, Yaxing, who was originally in high spirits, was all destroyed.
I saw that on the top of the building, it was overcrowded, noisy, all kinds of taking pictures, playing cards, eating, crowding people, where was there a little bit of cleanliness at all, and Big Tooth even found a middle-aged woman holding her own child, hiding behind the pillar to pee!
No way! What the fuck are these people, a few people who were ready to enjoy the view, they lost their appetites, glanced at it hurriedly, and went downstairs. Seeing that Kong Si was asking the aunt wearing an armband at the gate how to go to the antique market, Daya pulled Xu Jing and said to Wu Chen that they wanted to go for a walk by the river behind.
"Go ahead, there are a lot of people, pay attention to safety." Wu Chen looked at him with a strange look, and he didn't want to make a light bulb, nodded, and made an appointment to go back to the hotel directly, but don't turn off the mobile phone, there is something to contact.
