Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (2)

Although the city of Changsha was destroyed, the orange island on the river still existed, and a ferry boat was rented, and the four of them came to this island in the middle of the river in the middle of Xiangshan with the guards.

On the ferry, Mo Di told the other three for the first time about the poems that the Hunan man from northern Shaanxi had recited here, and he was very reverent. When he was in the tour class, he specially found the instructor Li Tao and asked him to copy the song "Yuyuan Spring" to himself. For this poem, he tasted it more than once, how many times, looked at the words in the words, and thought about it. Although he has never been to Changsha, he knows that there is a Xiangjiang River in Changsha, and there is a small island with beautiful scenery in the Xiangjiang River.

The three of them heard this song "Yuyuan Spring" for the first time, and they were also infected by the pride in the words, and their expectations for Orange Island were not invincible. However, when they set foot on the island, a sense of disappointment arose, and there was a saying that it was better to meet than to be famous. The island is very dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and occasionally you can see some small trees, which are not wooded. Due to transportation problems, there are no homes on the island, and there is no farming, but some wild miscellaneous trees with unknown names growing thin fruits.

"Tianzhong, this is the head of Orange Island where you can see thousands of mountains and hundreds of boats competing for streams?" Li Shigui smiled and said very cheaply, with a face that I had known for a long time.

"Don't ask me, it's my first time." Mo Di replied, and without looking back, he just walked along the path in the grass to the south end of the island. His heart is also dark, the one in northern Shaanxi can actually have so many feelings and emotions in this environment, I really don't know how to associate it.

"Hehehehe, in this pile of weeds, you can actually the soil back then!" Li Shigui said: "I understand the, and the Marquis of Wanhu has also heard of it, but I don't understand how to get to the on this wild island." ”

Zhang Zhinong is a loyal person, and said: "If you don't understand, don't think about it, just listen." ”

"Shigui don't get bored, calm down, and take a good look." Liu Jingzhi said: "My opinion is not the same as yours, but I think this place is extraordinary!" ”

Mo Di ignored them, and walked briskly south. He heard Li Tao say that Mr. Mao Runzhi was in the south of Orange Island, facing the flowing water from the south, overlooking the towering foothills of the west and the thousand-year-old Changsha in the east.

The four of them all quickened their pace, and soon arrived at the south end of the island, and saw Liu Jingzhi stretching out his hands from a distance, making a coordinates, and chanting words in his mouth: "Thousands of years of precipitation, there is a good result!" If it weren't for a fire half a year ago, I'm afraid this place would have prospered for another thousand years. ”

"Brother Jing will still do these deeds!" Mo Di also saw the extraordinaryness of this place, but he didn't have much research on feng shui and didn't dare to express his opinion.

"Rough knowledge." Liu Jingzhi said: "Kanyu, the number of techniques, Chinese scholars are involved, and I only know the surface." The Mr. Mao in northern Shaanxi, the Tao is far above me, and what he sees is far deeper than me, and he can make the emotion of freedom of ten thousand frost heavens here, which is also induced by this river water hitting the shore. ”

"I'm standing here, and I feel like I'm on a boat." Zhang Zhinong said: "The river comes from the south, and when I go beside me, I can't feel the water moving, but I think I am riding the wind and waves, this feeling is really amazing." ”

"You northern landlubber, you get dizzy when you see water." Li Shigui said with a smile.

"I'll be able to water." Zhang Zhinong argued: "At least not afraid of water. "The voice is getting quieter and quieter, and there is obviously a lack of confidence.

"Okay, let's not be angry here, the sun in the sky is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no place to hide in this place, and I want all kinds of frost to compete for freedom, be careful to dry yourself into dried shrimp first." Li Rengui said.

Liu Jingzhi and Mo Di looked at each other and smiled, with these two, there is really no elegance. Beckoned the boatman to come over, continued to get on the boat, and headed to the west of Yuelu Mountain.

As soon as he landed on the west bank, Zhang Zhinong smiled, this is the real Changsha, because of the fire, many Changsha people moved to Hexi to live temporarily, for a time the population on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River was too large, and it became a big market by the Taozi Lake, which was very lively. There are all kinds of food and drink, shouting and selling one after another, and it is not the same world as Jiangdong at all.

"I'm looking for a place to eat authentic Hunan food." Zhang Zhinong said.

"What time is it, just lunch?" Li Shigui asked puzzled.

"Eat, eat as much as you want, whatever time it is." Zhang Zhinong replied.

Mo Di laughed and said: "Brother Zhang's words are reasonable, the meal is really like this, the food is still fragrant." ”

"Eating because of hunger is inferior, and eating because of excitement is superior!" Liu Jingzhi also smiled: "I didn't expect Zhinong to have a deep understanding of the samadhi. ”

Zhang Zhinong laughed and said: "Xing fart, I have wanted to find a restaurant to eat Changsha since yesterday, and when I think of today, it is better to eat late than early, and eat early and be happy." ”

The three of them laughed, this rough man, a typical foodie.

Along the way, there are really a lot of food stalls, all of which are in the name of authentic Hunan cuisine. It's just that the houses are low and the façade is dilapidated, which is really not in harmony with authentic Hunan cuisine. A fire in Changsha City, burned the old restaurant in the city into a pile of rubble, some skilled cooks, in the rubble field after the fire was extinguished, some unburned furniture, to Hexi to start a new stove, half a year down, actually concentrated a small street, became some climate, but the houses are some temporary buildings, the house furnishings are all rough, not very good.

After looking for several food stalls, Zhang Zhinong did not find a suitable store, Mo Di asked him what the standard was, and he said that according to his experience, there must be more people in all delicious restaurants, and he wanted to find a family with more. Hearing Zhang Zhinong's words, Li Shigui laughed and said, "It's not a meal at this time, and no one eats it, how can you compare?" Mo Di and Liu Jingzhi also laughed dumbly, Liu Jingzhi pointed to a shop with a wine flag not far away and said, "Just that one, look at the wine flag is more magnificent." ”

Walking through the low door of the wine flag, there was a clean hall inside, and the four of them found a table of eight immortals on the street and sat down, and let Li Linxiang and the guards also sit at a large table next to them. Li Linxiang is a very practical person, he ordered more than a dozen dishes, two dishes and two dishes, went up to the Eight Immortals table where the four people were sitting, let the four bosses taste it, and then withdrew to the guard's table after tasting it, and if it was delicious, he would stay. In this way, the four of them will be able to taste more dishes and will not waste them.

For every dish, Mo Di symbolically ate a clip, and he actually ate a lot. Hunan cuisine, divided into three major cuisines, is the fresh river cuisine of Dongting Lake District, the mountain cuisine of Xiangxi Mountain and the special dishes of the Sanxiang area, and the unified characteristic is spicy. Because of the geographical location, the climate of Hunan is mild and humid, and people like to eat chili peppers to refresh themselves and get wet. The chili pepper is accompanied by the strong sour pickles, and the cooked dishes are appetizing and refreshing, and are favored and become the characteristics of Hunan cuisine.

Not all Hunan dishes have chili peppers. The first course of cured meat was steamed and praised by four people. The next spicy chicken, Dongting osmanthus fish, and Xiangxi sour meat also made the four of them happy. Stir-fry, Hunan cuisine has raised the stir-fry to a higher level, and the red and bright pickled peppers make people have a great appetite.

"The Conjuring clouds, eat a lot of food, rice and wheat, and sorghum. Big bitter, salty and sour, bitter and dry. The bullock of the fat ox is more fragrant. and sour and bitter, Chen Wu soup. Turtle cannon lamb, there is some syrup. Fry the birds. Showing the chicken's face, it is hard but not cool. Sure enough, it's true. Mo Di nodded and groaned.

Liu Jingzhi also nodded and said, "Chudi cuisine, led by Changsha. ”

"I don't know if this fire will make some recipes lost, it would be a pity if they were lost!" Li Shigui said.

"It's all the blame on the Japanese on dog days!" Zhang Zhinong scolded, picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.

was enjoying eating, only to hear a rumbling sound faintly, getting closer and closer, the long-lost familiar voice made the four of them invariably put down the chopsticks in their hands.

"It's a Japanese plane!" Li Shigui put the chopsticks and walked out.

With a piercing dive roar, three Type 96 land attack planes swooped down from the sky, causing the boss of the food stall to plunge headlong into the bottom of the table and tremble all over.

"Get up, fly over our heads, and the bombs will not fall on our heads." Zhang Zhinong said to the shopkeeper with a smile, pulled the boss up, and patted the dust on the boss's body.

The boss was shocked and said, "I don't know what kind of disaster is going to happen again this time!" ”

Before the words fell, he only heard the explosion of a bomb not far to the west, and when he heard the explosion, the boss breathed a sigh of relief, and he was spared this bombing. walked to the door and looked at the direction of the explosion, stomped his foot hatefully, and scolded: "Holy shit, let them blow up this time!" ”

"Where did you hit it?" Liu Jingzhi asked.

"Yuelu Academy." The boss said: "Look at the smoke and dust, I'm afraid it's the library building of Zhongyuelu Academy." ”

Mo Di stood up fiercely, pointed at Li Linxiang and said, "You stay to settle the bill, and the others rush with me!" ”

Liu Jingyi grabbed Mo Di: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Fight the fire!" Mo Di rushed out first.

Zhang Zhinong caught up with Mo Di in two steps, hugged him, took it back to the food stall, handed it to Liu Jingzhi, and said: "You can't smell the fireworks again, you are smoked by the fireworks, I am afraid that you will cough for another month, stand here and don't move, I will go to the rough work of fighting fires." The three of you are going to give me trouble. He shouted, "Brothers, come with me!" ”

Except for Liu Jingzhi and the other three and Li Linxiang who checked out, the others all followed Zhang Zhinong and ran away.

The boss of the food stall looked at this group of soldiers in surprise, pushed away the silver dollar handed to him by Li Linxiang, and said: "Good man, you can come and go in the wind, I can't take the money for this meal!" ”

Not only did he not accept it, but the boss also tidied up the Eight Immortals table with his own hands, invited the three of them to sit down, brought out his treasured old Xiangxi wine, and said excitedly: "I am dozens of years old, I have seen a lot of military masters, Wu Peifu, Zhao Xiheng, Tang Shengzhi, He Jian, I have only seen the soldiers who set fires, and I have never seen the firefighters, today, I have opened my eyes!" ”

The three of you look at me and I look at you, with an indescribable expression, once upon a time, I would rush forward desperately when the people were fired, what happened this time? Suddenly, a figure appeared in their minds almost at the same time, it was Ye Jianying, Ye Jianying was talking to them about the relationship between the army and the people, that was the love of fish and water, and it was the foundation of victory in guerrilla warfare. The three of them were relieved, or maybe this was the biggest gain of this tour class.
