Chapter 3 Qingyu Restaurant Tastes Huaiyang The ancient town under the river is hidden

"There's a reward for everyone." Mr. Wu happily distributed red envelopes to everyone, he has an optimistic personality and pursues the philosophy of Changle.

"Madame, you have suffered!" Master Wu came to the room, looked at his weak wife, and he took Mrs. Hand's hand and said affectionately.

"Master, let's give the child a name."

"Madame, I've thought about it. The name is Chengen, the word Ruzhong, I hope he can study and become an official, inherit the emperor's grace, and be a loyal minister who will leave a name in history. “

"Okay, Cheng'en, my Cheng'en, you must remember your father's teachings and read poetry and books." Mrs. Wu said to the child......

While they were talking, suddenly the family came to report: "Master, master, the county magistrate is here!" ”

"Hurry up, please."

In the first year of Ming Zhengde (1506), Wu Chengen was born in Datong Lane, an ancient town under the Huai'an River. The north side of Hexia Town is the Huai River, the south side is the canal, the river is between the two rivers, it is a commercial port with excellent natural conditions, and most of the merchants from all over the world come to Huai'an to live here. To the west of Wu Chengen's home is Datong Lane, to the east is Dingtie Lane and Fanzhang Lane, and to the north is Yiyi Street.

However, he said that the county magistrate of Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture, went straight to the ancient town of Hexia in the west, and saw that purple gas soaring clouds and fog and went straight to the east. He followed this purple qi to the gate of the Wu Mansion, but found that it had disappeared over the Wu Mansion.

The county magistrate was surprised, isn't it Wenqu Xing who is out of Wu Mansion? Just when he was puzzled, a baby's cry came from the Wu family, and the county master was even more curious.

Master Wu went out to greet him with a smile on his face: "The county lord is here, and the humble house is shining!" ”

"Is Wu Mansion imported Tianding today?" The county magistrate asked.

"Ah, the county master is really like a god, it is exactly, the Wu family has just had a son."

"Oh, what a coincidence?" The county magistrate nodded and said, "Wenqu Xing has gone down to earth, it's really Wenqu Xing who has gone down to earth." ”

"What Wenqu Xing, are you kidding?" Master Wu was flattered and said.

"Childe's daimyo?" The county magistrate asked again

"Wu Chengen." Master Wu told the truth.

"Cheng'en, good! The emperor's grace is vast, and the name is good. ”

The county lord no longer greeted, he got up and walked out of the Wu mansion, completely ignoring the kindness of Master Wu Rui.

"County master, you have come to my house to see the situation, it is almost noon this day, and I should do my best as a landlord." Master Wu has repeatedly expressed his thoughts.

"I'm so sorry, this county is on official business, thank you for your kindness." The county lord decisively said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Hexia Street is even more lively at the moment, especially the taverns and restaurants. The county magistrate went straight south along Huzui Avenue, and the traffic in front of the "Qingyu Huaiyang Restaurant" was crowded, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to eat. In particular, the authentic Huaiyang dishes on the banner in front of the door are handed down by the royal chef.

"Yo ho, what a big breath." The county magistrate was not convinced, "Eat this today and taste authentic Huaiyang cuisine." ”

He knows that Hexia Ancient Town is located in the northwest of Huai'an Ancient City, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, and is an important transportation checkpoint and salt industry distribution center in history, and an indispensable and important part of the Grand Canal culture.

The Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to the transportation of the south, so for hundreds of years, the businessmen who have come and gone from the south to the north have not only transported the wonderful silk and rice from the rich south of the Yangtze River to Beijing, but also accelerated the integration of Jiangnan and Jiangbei cuisine.

On the wall of the Zhixian Faguan, there is an incisive discussion of the cuisine of the north and the south, and he appreciates it with great interest.

Chinese Han cuisine is divided into four major cuisines, namely Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine. Each cuisine has evolved into its own system after a long period of evolution in terms of material selection, cutting and matching, cooking and other skills, and has distinctive local flavor characteristics, and is recognized by the society as a Chinese food genre.

The Chinese Han food culture cuisine refers to a set of self-contained cooking techniques and flavors formed after a long historical evolution due to the different climate, geography, history, products and food customs in a certain area, and has been recognized by all parts of the country.

"It makes sense, but I still love our Huaiyang cuisine the most." The master shook the folding fan and said.

Chinese people are particular and good at cooking, as early as the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the flavors of northern and southern dishes in Chinese food culture showed differences. By the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, the southern and northern foods formed their own systems. People in different regions have formed different local flavors by cooking methods such as stir-frying, roasting, frying, boiling, steaming, roasting, and cold dressing.

"The county lord has arrived, please upstairs!" After receiving a report from his subordinates, the boss hurriedly went downstairs to greet him.

"Boss Song, business is booming." The county magistrate immediately responded, "Today, the official wants to taste the skills of your royal chef." ”

"The county master can't eat well, and he won't take a penny!"

"If you eat well, the county master will give you publicity, and you should not take a penny!"

"It's a deal!"

Huaiyang cuisine is one of the eight traditional Chinese cuisines, "Yang" is Yang, the Yangtze River basin represented by Yangzhou, and "Huai" is Huai cuisine, represented by Huai'an.

Huaiyang cuisine refers to the regional cuisine of Huaiyang centered on Yangzhou and Huai'an, which was formed in Yangzhou, Huai'an and other regions.

Huaiyang cuisine began in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and is known as "the best taste in the southeast and the most beautiful in the world". Huaiyang cuisine is rigorous in the selection of materials and is based on aptitude; The production is fine and the style is elegant; The pursuit of original taste, freshness and peace.

"Drunken crab doesn't look at the lights, wind chicken doesn't look at the lights, saury fish doesn't look at the lights, and sturgeon doesn't look at the Dragon Boat Festival", this time-specific criterion ensures that the food ingredients on the plate come from the best state, so that people can feel the wonderful Huaiyang cuisine anytime, anywhere.

"Great, I'm back." A thirteen or fourteen boy in front of the Shen Mansion on Zhuxiang Street ran in quickly. The young man was none other than the young master of the Shen family.

"Master, the young master is back!"

The county magistrate looked at the poem column on the third floor, and the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty said beautiful words to Shanyang, and he shook his head and chanted with great comfort in his heart.

In charge of the good things, he is like Lin Zong and the fine marquis.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!" The master's sycophant was filmed in time, and the county commander smiled.

Chuzhou, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, successively belonged to Wu, Yue, Chu and other vassal states. After the unification of Qin, Huaiyin County was established, and part of Chuzhou belonged to Huaiyin County. On the occasion of Chu and Han, it belonged to Xiang Yu and Western Chu. In the fifth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Han Xin was named the king of Chu, and Chu Prefecture belonged to the Chu Kingdom.

In the same year, Han Xin was degraded to the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Liu Tang was named the Marquis of Sheyang, and Chuzhou belonged to the Second Marquis State, and the Marquis of Huaiyin was reduced to a county in the eleventh year.
