Kang Damao waited on the dock early, he and Shen Luojun agreed to meet in Yangzhou in the morning after seven days, today is exactly the seventh day, he pinched the day, thinking that he would be able to see Luo Jun in a while Kang Damao was a little excited, and he hadn't seen his sweetheart for several days.

Half an hour later, Shen Luojun arrived as scheduled, and Kang Damao stood at the mouth of the dock and shouted: "Luojun! He kept waving to the boat, and soon the boat docked on the dock Shen Luojun also jumped off the boat excitedly, and the two were still a little reserved in public, not hugging each other, but holding hands implicitly.

The two took a canopy boat and leisurely visited the beautiful scenery of the ancient city of Yangzhou along the channel of the Grand Canal.

Yangzhou in winter does not have the flamboyance of Yangzhou in spring, and there are no fireworks in March, Yangzhou in winter has its own subtle beauty, just like the elegant woman in front of you so graceful and moving, this is a classical beauty emanating from the inside out, gentle and elegant, ice clear and jade.

Looking at the wide water surface of the whole canal shining with strong light under the sunlight, just like a silver dragon, the sparkling river surface is like the scales of the silver dragon, at this time the canal passes through the city, making the whole Yangzhou city become smart and elegant.

In Kang Damao's eyes, the canal at this time is like a ribbon on the clothes of the goddess in his heart, with a sense of awe, he can only watch from a distance and not play with it.

Yangzhou is peaceful and quiet in winter, after a stone arch bridge, the canal channel is slightly narrowed, and the canopy boat gradually sails to the unique riverside shops in Yangzhou City. Kang Damao stood at the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back, enjoying the scenery on the shore and the leisurely pedestrians on the clear stone road, occasionally there was a beautiful little song in the morning tea shop, Kang Damao suddenly had a poem Yaxing, pondered for a moment and then read aloud: "The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn." On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach. ”

This is a Tang Dynasty Du Mu's "Judge of Yangzhou Han Xuan", but the artistic conception is different and can still be borrowed, although it is not as good as the predecessors, how can I yearn for it, Kang Damao is a reader, and he is naturally deeply affected by the elegant taste of literati and ink writers.

Yangzhou people have the habit of eating morning tea, and a morning tea is the beginning of a slow life rhythm for the people of Yangzhou City.

Early in the morning, Yangzhou's Fun Garden Tea Shop is crowded, inside and outside are crowded with people, all the people are for a morning tea to come to the Fun Garden, full of Jiangnan Garden's Fun Garden Tea Shop is next to the Slender West Lake, the courtyard is full of tree shadows reflected on the doors and windows, the sound of birds crying from time to time in the depths of the forest, there is really an illusion that this is in front of a secluded mountain forest house.

Kang Damao led Shen Luojun off the canopy boat and went ashore, walked into the Quyuan Tea Shop, and it took some effort to find a table by the window and sit down.

A cage of crab roe soup dumplings, a plate of mille-feuille oil cake, a serving of Longjing shrimp, and two cups of kelp pork rib soup.

After ordering the meal, Kang Damao and Shen Luojun sat in front of the carved window by the river, admiring the boats occasionally passing by on the canal, and the two chatted leisurely, enjoying the morning sunshine in winter.

After a while, the morning tea was brought up by Xiao Er, Kang Damao ate it beautifully, first of all, this crab roe soup dumpling, which is a well-known snack in Yangzhou, all the essence of the whole bun is in the soup, the most traditional way to eat the soup dumpling is to suck it with the mouth, and it has to be sucked clean, and the soup can not be missed, Kang Damao naturally knows this, he picked up a crab roe soup dumpling and bit it down and sucked it gently, only to feel that the whole mouth was suddenly filled with soup, the deliciousness of the crab roe surrounded the taste buds, and there was really a feeling of eating skin and drinking soup in one bite.

Although the crab roe soup dumplings are delicious, but the taste is too fierce Shen Luojun, who is sitting opposite, the implicit character is not very acceptable, for her, maybe Longjing shrimp is more suitable for her taste, Longjing shrimp is cooked by Longjing new tea before and after the Qingming Festival, the shrimp meat is white and tender, the tea buds and leaves are green, there is a light fragrance, and the mouth is appetizing after eating, and the aftertaste is endless.

After Shen Luojun ate two bites, he suddenly felt delicious and strongly recommended this meal to Kang Damao, Kang Damao saw Luo Jun say this, so he naturally wanted to taste it, and after tasting it, it really tasted unique.

The two of them each picked up a piece of mille-feuille oil cake, this mille-feuille oil cake is also a famous snack in Yangzhou, the cake is a diamond-shaped square, hibiscus color, translucent, layers of sugar and oil, the cake is covered with red and green silk, the view is fresh and pleasant, and the food is soft and sweet.

When Kang Damao and Shen Luojun each drank the cup of kelp pork rib soup in front of them, they were really satisfied, Yangzhou is really a paradise for foodies.

After checking out the Quyuan Tea Shop, the two of them wandered along the food street of the ancient city on the bank of the canal, and after walking for a while, Kang Damao touched his stomach and stopped, looking at Shen Luojun beside him.

"What's wrong?" Shen Luojun asked curiously.

"Luo Jun, I didn't seem to have eaten enough just now." Kang Damao scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Huh? Glutton, what else do you want to eat? Go ahead. Shen Luojun asked with a helpless smile, this Da Mao can really be eaten.

"This!" Kang Damao said, looking up at a morning tea shop next to the street.

I saw that it was written: "He Ji Douhua Shop".

Shen Luojun looked at Kang Damao's greedy appearance, where she couldn't bear to refuse, and the two walked into He Ji Douhua Shop side by side.

This He Ji bean curd began in Banan Mudong Town He's, Banan Mudong, close to the Yangtze River, was once a prosperous water wharf, because there are many ships in the past, people come and go, He's branch brought this bean curd production technology to Yangzhou City, and now this He Ji Douhua business is also booming in Yangzhou City because of its unique taste and way of eating.

The owner of this He Ji bean curd shop has a well-known nickname in the local area, known as "Iron Palm Water Floating", and he performs his "Water Floating" kung fu every day, but it is not himself who floats, but the white and tender Douhua.

I saw that half of the pot was bean curd and half soy milk, which surprised the onlookers, and Kang Damao called for two bowls, one salty and one sweet. The bean curd was placed on the table, and when he looked down, the bean curd in the bowl was white and tender and solid, Kang Damao took a porcelain spoon and added a spoonful of chili oil, stirred the bean curd, tasted it, the taste was fragrant and spicy, stimulating the taste buds.

"Young man, this is not how Douhua eats!"

Suddenly, an old man sitting next to him looked at Kang Damao and shook his head and said.

"Oh? Then I need to ask for more advice! Kang Damao put down the porcelain spoon in the bowl and said respectfully.

If you like to eat tender bean curd, you can enjoy it directly, if you like to eat old bean curd, you have to apply pressure first, the pressure method is to use the chopsticks in your hand, gently and slowly push the bean curd to the side, push to one-third, push two or three times to eat the older bean curd. Don't start clamping from the center of the bean curd, the correct way is to start clamping from the side close to yourself, don't clip too much at a time, move towards the side with more bean curd, slowly leave the water, and then clip it into the dipping dish. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he slowly used the chopsticks in his hand to gently and slowly push the bean curd to the side, put the bean curd into the dipping plate, and ate the old bean curd in his mouth.

Kang Damao asked for a bowl of fresh bean curd again, and he also learned the old man's movements and put the bean curd into the dipping dish, and the taste in his mouth was really different from before, with a few more layers of taste, especially this old bean curd was particularly fragrant.

"Thank you for your advice, I didn't expect this little bean flower to have so many doorways, and the younger generation has been taught today." Kang Damao clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully to the old man.

"Where, don't think I'm relying on the old and selling the old, when it comes to eating bean curd, you are just getting started now, and the mystery of eating bean curd is actually here to dip the dish." As he spoke, the old man pointed meaningfully to the sauces on the table.

Before Kang Damao could ask, the old man said slowly.

"The bean curd itself is white, and the quality of the dipping dish even determines the success or failure of the bean curd, whether the seasoning is appropriate, and whether the pepper is fragrant or not, will affect the taste of the bean curd. Generally speaking, the dipping dish is divided into green and red, chopped green pepper dipping dish and red pepper oil dipping saucer. The dipping method is simple and straightforward, and the green dish only needs to be chopped and green pepper into a small plate; For the red dish, you need to put the oil chili pepper in a small dish, add white salt, green onions, sesame seeds, peanuts and other things to enhance the flavor and taste, and the rice with bean curd is very flavorful, and then drink a bowl of water, which is really comfortable. After the old man finished speaking, he took the old bean curd and dipped it into the sauce plate, looking very enjoyable.

Kang Damao listened to the old man's discussion of eating bean curd, he was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, the difficult things in the world must be done in the easy, the big things in the world, must be done in the fine, to the vast and subtle, Kang Damao seemed to have an epiphany at the moment.

Some people say that Yangzhou morning tea is generally at seven to nine o'clock, in fact, the ancient city morning tea represents the slow pace of life of the people in the ancient city, sometimes the morning tea can be eaten until nearly noon, and even some businessmen have two meals and make a meal, eat morning tea and sometimes the business is negotiated.

After eating morning tea, taste two sips of Longjing, remove greasy, and leave fresh.

After tasting the tea, the whole person is refreshed all day long, and a feeling of happiness arises spontaneously.
