Chapter 180: Taste the food in the alley

Park your car in the parking lot and still enter the park from the West Gate. Song Yao followed them to experience sugar painting, guessing lantern riddles, dragon and lion dances and other activities. Today I also met and watched the paper-cutting performance, Su Yuhan was most interested in this, she was enthusiastic to exchange paper-cutting experience with paper-cutting artists, and refused to leave, and was later pulled away by Song Yao and Mei Meiqiang.

After queuing for more than an hour, everyone finally boarded the Yellow Crane Tower, standing on the Yellow Crane Tower nearly 90 meters above the Yangtze River, looking at the rushing river water by the railing, Su Yuhan was so excited that he danced with his hands, and the poetry was flourishing. The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is exhausted, but the Yangtze River skyline is seen. Cui Hao's eternal swan song "The people of the past have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here." The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years. Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, fragrant grass and parrot island. Where is the sunset township, and the Yanbo River makes people worried. He groaned over and over again, ignoring the strange stares and good-natured ridicule of the tourists around him.

Mei Mei and Song Yao just smiled when they heard this, and they didn't stop it. There are more than 1,000 poems and songs about the Yellow Crane Tower, Mei Mei and Song Yao have lived next to the Yellow Crane Tower since they were young, and they can memorize more than a dozen songs, and Su Yuhan knows that two songs are not bad.

Wang Qiang and Wu Zeyu stood on the other side, looking around, only to see the rolling Yangtze River in full view, and the curtain walls of buildings on both sides of the strait were vividly in sight, which made people feel intoxicated.

A few people watched the scenery and took pictures on the Yellow Crane Tower, and it took more than half an hour to play before coming down from the main building of the Yellow Crane Tower, and it was also dinner time, and many other attractions in the park that were not seen could only be left for another day.

Speaking of dinner, foodie Su Yuhan immediately thought of Tongcheng's three fresh bean skins, Sijimei's soup dumplings, Cai Linji's hot dry noodles, Shunxiangju's roasted wheat, Fuqinghe's shredded beef beans, Xiaotaoyuan's simmered soup, Tian Qiheng's paste soup powder, Xie Rongde's noodles and other familiar delicacies. Although she has never eaten the eight famous foods of Wuhan, Song Yao often whispers in her ear, and she has long been like thunder. Now that she has arrived in Wuhan, if she doesn't taste these delicacies, won't she come for nothing?

Su Yuhan and Mei Mei pulled the exhausted Song Yao, followed by Wang Qiang and Wu Zeyu, and rushed from the Yellow Crane Tower Park to another destination: Hubu Lane.

Hubu Lane is a century-old alley, known as the "first alley of Chinese snacks", which is a food paradise surrounded by famous streets, famous buildings, famous scenery and famous rivers, which began in the Ming Dynasty and endured. The famous Hubu Lane benefits tourists from all over the world with fresh, fragrant, fast and hot Chinese snacks. Here you can not only eat the eight snacks of Wuhan, but also taste a variety of delicacies such as grilled fish, stinky tofu, huanxituo, rice rake baba, fat cake, cockscomb dumplings, paste soup powder and so on. This is also a place where people can eat and drink without regard to their image, which is most in line with the needs of Su Yuhan, a foodie.

In the distance, I saw the crowd in the alley of Hubu bustling, crowded around. Walking to the entrance, Su Yuhan ignored the large number of tourists, posed and took pictures. She beckoned Wang Qiang to come over and take a group photo, and asked the girl who was waiting to take a group photo of the five of them, which merged into the passenger flow in the alley of the house. Fortunately, there are two strong boys in front of the road, and the three girls can go all the way forward and unimpeded.

The food in the alley is dazzling, and Su Yuhan is almost dazzled. She, Wang Qiang, and Wu Zeyu all chose the most well-known hot dry noodles. Su Yuhan asked for a bowl of Cai Linji's full-ingredient hot dry noodles, and when she took it, the original noodle aroma and sesame sauce came to her nose. She picked the noodles into her mouth with chopsticks, only to feel that the hot noodles scalded by the soup were glutinous and delicious, with a dry chewiness, Su Yuhan took a few big bites, and this bowl of noodles entered her stomach. Only then did she raise her eyes and look around, Wang Qiang and Wu Zeyu had just finished eating hot dry noodles and were reminiscing, but they didn't see Mei Mei and Song Yao. Su Yuhan took out his mobile phone and saw a picture sent by Song Yao in WeChat, it turned out that the two had already run to the Sanxian bean skin shop, each holding a bowl of bean skin and eating it deliciously. The three of them asked the master of the hot dry noodle shop for directions and went to the bean skin shop. Su Yuhan couldn't help salivating when she saw a thin layer of green onions sprinkled on the surface of the oily golden bean skin, snatched the chopsticks from Song Yao's hand, and put a piece in her mouth, but felt that the fried crispy bean skin was soft and delicate, with the umami of fresh meat, fresh eggs, and fresh shrimp, as well as the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, without any greasy feeling. Su Yuhan was overjoyed, ate another piece, and then returned the chopsticks to Song Yao. She didn't dare to eat more, after all, she still had to save her stomach to taste other delicacies. Next to him, Wang Qiang had already bought three servings of bean skin to pack and take away.

Next, Su Yuhan and the others tasted more than ten kinds of other delicacies, and their stomachs really couldn't fit it, so they took the packing bag of the general manager Lin Lin, slowly walked back to the Yellow Crane Tower parking lot, and drove back.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the five went to the campuses of Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology to play. Su Yuhan and Wu Zeyu heard that there was a shadow puppet show in the Yellow Crane Tower Park, and they grinded Song Yao to go to the Yellow Crane Tower Park again, but Song Yao had to frown and agree.

On the sixth day of the new year, Su Yuhan got up early, woke up the other four, and ran to the Yellow Crane Tower Park again. They arrived at half past eight, thinking it was still early, but they didn't expect so many people to queue up to buy tickets, they only bought tickets for the "Chu Feng Crane Rhyme" performance at two o'clock in the afternoon, and they could watch the shadow puppet show for free with the "Chu Feng Crane Rhyme" performance ticket. Mei Mei saw that there was plenty of time, and took them to Yue Fei's merit workshop first, only to see that the west and east banners of the archway were carved with the calligrapher Feng Jinqiu and Chen Yijing's "Loyal to the Country" and "Meritorious Deeds". During the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, a famous anti-Jin general, once garrisoned Ezhou (now Wuchang) under the Yellow Crane Tower for 7 years. Yue Fei's three Northern Expeditions against the Jin Army were all based in Ezhou (now Wuchang), and he was sad and indignant that he could not drive away the Jin soldiers, wash away the shame of Jingkang, and recover the great mountains and rivers of the motherland. When Su Yuhan and his entourage saw the statue of Yue Fei holding the saddle and reining in the horse, it was as if they saw Yue Fei raising his head and looking north, unable to bear to break the mountains and rivers, and his ambition was difficult to reward.

Then they came to the *** word booth. It seems that he is particularly fond of Wuhan, the "hometown of white clouds and yellow cranes", and has been to Wuhan no less than 36 times, and has swam in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River 18 times. Su Yuhan thought to herself, I also want to follow in the footsteps of the great man and go to Wuhan for a good swim. She and Song Yao and others came to the large bluestone tablet standing in the center of the pavilion, and saw that the north and south sides were engraved with the enlarged handwriting of the "Bodhisattva Man? Yellow Crane Tower" and "Water Tune Song Head? Swimming", feel the majestic spirit of the great man who challenged the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and swallowed the mountains and rivers.

Mei Mei saw that the time was almost up, and took everyone to leave the *** word booth and came to Luomei Xuan. The front of Luomei Xuan is hidden in a piece of bamboo, adding a piece of elegance. Entering the courtyard, the red plum blossoms are beginning to bloom, and the grass is green. In the performance hall on the first floor, they sat on the red Taishi chair and enjoyed the large chimes of the ancient court song and dance "Chu Feng Crane Rhyme". "Chu Wind Crane Rhyme" is the use of the "rare treasure" Zeng Hou Yi chime to interpret the Chu culture and the legend of the Yellow Crane Tower thousands of years ago. I saw the slender waist of Chu beauties dancing in the ancient music of Jing Chu with chimes, flutes, zhengs, sheng, ruan, chi, etc., like an ancient and long Chu Yun style music painting. This unique musical feast not only brought them a strong visual impact, but also gave them a strong auditory shock.

Through the half-hour song and dance show, after several people felt the glory of Chu culture thousands of years ago, they rushed to the second floor non-stop and watched the shadow puppet show "Zhu Bajie's Daughter-in-law" with great interest. Shadow puppetry is a kind of folk drama in which the silhouettes of characters made of dried animal skins or cardboard are used to perform stories. At the beginning of the performance, I saw the artists behind the white curtain, some of them manipulated the silhouettes of Zhu Bajie's master and apprentice through a thin bamboo pole in their hands, and some told the story of "Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law" in the percussion of musical instruments, telling the story of Sun Wukong's lazy Zhu Bajie in punishment for being lazy, becoming a young lady and Bajie marrying, Bajie found that he was fooled by the senior brother, and he was ashamed. Throughout the play, the artists showed Zhu Bajie's greed for food and playfulness with witty music and funny movements, and Su Yuhan and them laughed like those children watching.

In the next few days, Song Yao and Mei Mei took the other three to visit East Lake, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, and take a night boat tour of the Yangtze River.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Song Yao and Su Yuhan took Meimei and a total of four people from Wuhan to Wenzhou to participate in the wedding ceremony of Honghong and Xiaolong.
