Chen Xing had come here once a few years ago, but this time he was obviously more like an ancient town than before. For example, this flag with the word tea is more flavorful than an ancient plaque.

Chen Minmin looked at the crowd of people who kept passing in front of him, and said with some emotion: "This place has also become commercialized, I remember that there were not many foreign tourists here before." Chen Jie said: "There are not many now, mainly for the Chinese New Year, and everyone wants to come and see the dragon dance." "I haven't seen so many people before.

is still the same sentence, the smell of the New Year in the city is getting more and more intense, and the same is true for towns like the New Territories with a better economy, what else is there to play if firecrackers are not allowed?

Why don't you come to this unique town to feel the atmosphere of the New Year? The streets of Xinchang Ancient Town are very narrow, it is the kind of compact type, walking on the streets of the ancient town, if you look up, you can only see a line of sky.

Because the eaves on both sides are relatively long, blocking most of the space. That's very beneficial. If you come to Xinchang Ancient Town, you don't have to be afraid of heavy rain, the eaves on the street are enough to shelter you from the wind and rain, so that you will not get drenched in the rain during shopping.

It's these horizontal wires, network cables, etc., which are a bit dramatic. Every time you walk a section, you can also see a very charming fire wall.

The fire wall is also called the wind wall, the wind and fire wall, anyway, no matter what the name is, it is the same meaning, it is a kind of wall building for the purpose of fire prevention.

Especially this kind of water town, the place is small, the population is large, and the houses are dense, once there is a fire, it will be widely implicated, so that many people are helpless.

Some wise people have found that the spread of flames is also regular, and they all jump from one wall to another.

Therefore, some people thought, if the wall is raised, won't it be able to stop the fire from spreading? Hence this fireproof high wall.

In addition, the ancient town of Xinchang was originally living near the water, so it has been hundreds of thousands of years, and the ancient town of Xinchang has never burned a fire, and it has completely retained so many ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Chen Zhong had been chatting with his little girlfriend, and suddenly said, "I'm hungry, don't go shopping, why don't we eat something, mutton soup?" "Like many other ancient towns, Xinchang Ancient Town certainly has its own special cuisine.

Generally speaking, it is tofu. Xinchang's tofu, bean curd and other soy products are very famous in the entire surrounding area, radiating three cities and five counties, but people can't just eat tofu here, so mutton soup, Zhou Xuewang or something, is also very popular here.

In Xinchang Ancient Town, New Territories and other places, the way to eat mutton soup is the way to eat Jianyang mutton soup.

Jianyang is a county-level city directly under the central government of Sichuan Province and is managed by Rongcheng. The mutton soup here is different from that of the north and the south, and its uniqueness comes from the continuous improvement of the Jianyang goat breed and the innovation of the cooking process for this mutton meat.

Not to mention the introduction, smelling the smell of mutton soup in the street, many people can't walk.

The two shops around were already full, and a few people had to go further if they wanted to eat. Chen Jie said: "There are too many people for the Chinese New Year, I remember there is an old shop in a small alley, let's go directly to have a look, if it is really full, we will go shopping for a while, and wait for the meal to come back to eat." Chen Xing knew where he said, nodded and said, "Listen to you." "Actually, people who come here want to finish their meals a little earlier, and then go to the streets to wait to see the dragon and lion dances or something, and the show starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and if you eat late, you can't get a good place.

They quickly found an alley. Chen Jie wasn't quite sure if it was here, anyway, it looked quite similar, so he took a few people and walked this way.

The main street is a bluestone paved road, easy to walk, and turning into this alley requires a long staircase up the ground, with houses on both sides, and from those unobstructed places, you can also see the wells made in the houses.

But many wells have been sealed. There are very few wells that were drilled in the past, but they are still functional.

Chen Minmin is very envious of the people who live here, not to mention the good environment, there is such a big yard, it is too convenient to raise more succulents, even if you don't raise plants, it's good to raise a kitten, at least the activity area is large.

Chen Xing also wanted to have a house of his own, but it was not like that. "If I could redecorate," he says, "it would be pretty much the same, and the usable area would be too small to keep it in its original state." ”

"Do you want to live in a villa?"

"Not really." Chen Xing shook his head and said,

"I like the high-rise duplex where you can see the big river, the lighting should be good, the best area is more than 200 square meters, and the decoration is ......"

"Okay, okay, I like the house you said too." Chen Minmin interrupted. Chen Jie also smiled and said, "It's like who doesn't like it, this is a river-view room." Chen Xing, do you want to buy a house in Rongcheng? ”

"Don't buy it yet." Chen Minmin suddenly sighed and said: "You are considered to be out of the ordinary, it is not uncommon to work hard to buy a house like this in Rongcheng, but we still have to stay up, and we don't know when it will be developed." "They only learned about Chen Xing in the past few days, and the third aunt said when she saw people everywhere that they couldn't help but know.

However, Chen's mother didn't say anything about Chen Xing's earning of millions. only said that Chen Xing has made a career as a photographer, his work has won awards abroad, and he is about to study in Paris, and he will be a turtle in the future.

For Chen's mother's generation, the turtle still has a lot of face, and as soon as Chen Xing said that he was going to study in Paris, Chen Xing became famous at the table of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night, and even the elders who had never looked at Chen Xing before toasted him with a glass of wine.

"Okay, here, it should be the one." Chen Jie didn't find the wrong location, after coming down the staircase road, there was another smaller street, this street had a large family's house converted into a museum, and further on, you could see the old shop they had been to before.

Compared to the street below, which is obviously newly renovated and renovated, this is really an old shop.

The house looks quite sturdy, but the walls inside have long since become damp, with the kind of traces of being eroded by the rain, and then a poster of a star from twenty years ago was pasted, and the young Andy looks very handsome.

The shop's signature is called Mutton Soup, and the owner is an older lady who hires a slightly younger employee.

Actually, there were a lot of people, but at least there was no queue. When they came over, someone happened to get off the table, and Chen Zhong stepped forward to grab the position.

A few people walked over slowly, and Chen Minmin said: "It's still very useful to have a younger brother, at least it's convenient to occupy a seat." Chen Jie smiled and said, "That's for you." Chen Zhong rolled his eyes at his brother and took care of his little girlfriend.

Chen Xing said: "Boss, blanch a pound of mutton first, less fat, and add a clear soup blood." Chen Minmin also ordered a hot and sour lamb blood, she liked this dish very much, and it was appetizing and delicious.

Chen Jie said: "How can you not have some tofu when you come to Xinchang, isn't it in vain?" Add two more tofu dishes, boiled tofu and mountain bean curd. ”

"Yes." Chen Xing said. Chen Minmin was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to finish eating, Chen Jie said: "Eat slowly, just go to watch the show after eating, besides, what are we a group of young people in their twenties afraid of?" Are you losing weight? ”

"That woman doesn't lose weight?" Chen Xing said: "Then today's cheating meal cheating meal, only eat this one, and after today, you will slowly lose weight alone." Chen Minmin muttered that he cheated every day during the New Year.

But when the dish comes up, she is the most active. Jianyang mutton soup needs to be dipped in water, or oil dishes, but generally speaking, it is dry dipped and the ingredients are simple, dried sea pepper + monosodium glutamate + salt, just these three things, have completely satisfied the pursuit of spicy taste of Sichuan people.

You can also add red millet spicy, green bell pepper and fresh green pepper to it. On top of the basic salty base, add chopped onions, garlic, coriander, mint leaves, etc.

The lamb broth is served first. The soup is boiled white like milk, and there are little oil flowers floating on it, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Chen Xing used a separate bowl to drink a bowl of soup first. The boiling of Jianyang mutton soup is to add fish to the soup, and the fish and sheep are in a pot, which highlights the umami of the soup.

Take small sips of soup and eat it. The flavor is strong and fragrant, the aftertaste is long, and when you drink it in one sip while holding the bowl, a wave of warmth begins to spread from the stomach to the whole body, and soon dispels the cold of winter, and the whole person warms up.

The mutton is also delicious, the meat is delicate, and there is no smell of mutton at all. Chen Jie said while eating: "I remember that during the Olympic Games in 08, 30 healthy dishes were selected in China, and Jianyang mutton soup was finally on the list, and it was the only soup dish based on mutton. Chen Xing and Chen Minmin were not impressed by this.

How old were they then? Not to mention the Yenching Olympics, the next few Olympic Games are not impressive, the only thing that impresses me is the opening ceremony of the island country this year...... It doesn't matter if it's good or not, but it's really famous.

People are professionals, who said that notoriety is not famous? The girl brought by Chen Zhong said to Chen Zhong: "You try this, it's also delicious." She said boiled tofu.

This dish is very simple, super simple, it is purely to put the tofu in boiling water and boil it, and when it is slightly cooked, it can be eaten directly like this, or it can be eaten with dipping water.

What you eat is the freshness of tofu. Good tofu is rare in the city, and this thing is the same as seafood in coastal cities, and most people can't eat this freshest thing.

Everyone thinks seafood smells fishy, right? Actually, no, a lot of seafood has no fishy smell when it is first caught, and even the meat is a little sweet.

That's why people along the coast like to eat steamed seafood so much, and they can't wait to nibble on it directly. Tofu is the same, just made by hand, and still hot, it is boiled in water.

Such tofu tastes particularly tender, delicious, and heat-clearing. Shanshui bean curd is also a steamed tofu dish, cut the tofu into small pieces like mapo tofu, then add salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate, ginger juice to taste, add shredded green pepper, shredded red pepper, coriander, and then put it on the steamer to steam.

After steaming, you can eat it directly, and it is also a fresh and tender food. A few people emptied most of the food on the table and didn't waste anything.

Chen Minmin touched her stomach without the image of a goddess and burped.

"I haven't eaten so full for a long time, it's miserable, and I'm definitely going to grow meat tomorrow."

"Kacha!" She looked up in confusion and saw that Chen Xing had just put down the camera.

"You slapped me!" She hurriedly went to grab Chen Xing's camera,

"No!! You quickly deleted the photo for me!! It's going to be ugly! Of course Chen Xing didn't do it, he dodged vigorously, she chased, he fled, and on the way Chen Xing said: "Don't run after eating, I'll show you, it's not an ugly photo, I took a good picture!" "What are you deleting, is he the kind of person who takes ugly photos?

Forehead. Putting this aside, Chen Xing is a cutting-edge photographer who is famous in the French photography industry, so wouldn't the things he photographed look good?

The cousin's accusations against herself are nothing short of slanderous. The other three people watched the play with a grin. Chen Jie and Chen Zhong are worthy of being born by the same mother, and their expressions are the same when they laugh.

"Okay! Then you can show me first! Chen Xing saw that she didn't come to chase after her, so she found out the photo just now, showed it to Chen Minmin, and said: "I thought your lazy just now was very beautiful, so I took it, and you still don't believe me." In the photo, Chen Minmin leaned on the chair, put her hands on the armrests of the chair, her eyes half-squinted, very comfortable.

Here again it has to be mentioned again. What is the most important thing about shooting portraits? It's a model. As long as the model is beautiful, it will look good no matter what the model is doing.

Chen Minmin was finally relieved, and patted Chen Xing a little embarrassed and said: "Hahaha, hahaha, you said it earlier, remember to pass this photo to me, it's not bad, my sister didn't hurt you in vain." Chen Xing was a little speechless.

Chen Minmin's age is not far from him, and there is nothing to take care of in the process of growing up, but Chen Xing helped her solve a lot of troubles when she was studying.

After resting for a while, everyone got up and got ready to go to the show. At this moment, there are already many people wearing performance costumes in the ancient town square, and they are in full swing to prepare.

The dragon dance team has the appearance of more than a dozen people, holding a large dragon in their hands, and there are people next to them holding cloud lanterns, dragon balls and other decorations.

In addition to this, there are big black bulls, lion dances, stilt walks...... They work from two o'clock in the afternoon during the day until the evening.

Chen Xing and the others didn't go to the square, and they knew with their feet that there must be circles of people over there, and the water was impassable, so why bother to squeeze with those people.

Anyway, the team is coming. The smart people had already taken the best position on the side of the road, waiting for the dragon dance team to come over.

Chen Xing and Chen Jie are young and strong, and Chen Zhong is a half-grown young man, who is not afraid of being scolded at all, and it is easy to squeeze to the front with the two girls and occupy the best position on the street.

Not long after, Chen Xing and the others had already heard the sound of gongs and drums. Qiang Qiang, Qi Qiang, Qi Qiang, Qi Qiang Qi......
