In early summer of May, I silently took my wife and took a small boat to quietly in the city at dawn. From Fengqiao Town, I passed Dushu Lake, entered Bai, Jiang. I rushed all the way to the southeast and left the big lake and river. Gradually, I arrived at a small town in the southwest corner of Kunlun County. The houses on both sides became denser and denser, and the river channel became narrower, but it seemed to be closer to the water...
Water towns, river nets are crisscrossed; when you are close by, you need to compile them all." Silently, wearing a cool lake blue silk shirt, her hair was simply held with a hairband of the same color, holding a folding fan in one hand and holding a railing in the other. She stood leisurely on the bow of the boat, and smiled faintly: "Pink walls, black tiles, bluestones are steps; they form alleys along the river, and bridges and streets are connected; river wormwood fangs, crossing the streets and arcades; passing through bamboo and stone railings, water pavilions and rivers, entering this place is like entering Wu Daozi's ancient paintings, making me, a common man, become elegant.
”
Ruohan was wearing a light and thin flower-skimming skirt. He was wearing a thin banknote belt of the same color. He was standing up at the waist with clouds and green buns. He was lightly decorated with pink and white breeze. When the fairy was floating, the lotus clothes were about to move, and his slender waist was flying and swaying. Ruoby Xizi. She stood beside Xi Mo, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and smiled and said, "Our Shaoxing is not bad either."
"Whether it is Shaoxing or Suzhou." Xi Mo shook his head and smiled, "It's too big and too lively. There are turbulent stools, and there are noisy and noisy ears, which makes it difficult for the quiet to calm down, and even the beautiful scenery will be in vain."
"It seems that my husband's intention is not the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers," Ruohan smiled and said, "but this half-day leisure and quietness without noise and chaos, without any case, and the tranquility outside the world."
He nodded silently and smiled, "The wife is the one who knows me!" As he said that, he laughed loudly and said, "So sour, so sour!" The laughter was filled with comfort, which shocked the fisherman, and made him look angry.
Silent bowed his hand across the boat and smiled apologetically. The fisherman who had never met before also laughed, with a bold smile. A silver-white fish came from the fish basket and threw it in beautifully. The iron pillar took it and it turned out to be a double-gecked perch with a foot of five kilograms.
He came without stopping the rudeness. Xi Mo smiled and threw a small silver ingot. The fisherman took it and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel tight, and he came over and said, "I don't ask for money to send a fish to eat." Then he returned the small silver ingot that Mu Yiliang had sunk with both hands.
How could Xi Mo answer? He smiled and said, "Brother, please give me fish, I will give you money. It's very fair and reasonable. If you don't have money, I don't want the fish either."
The fisherman smiled honestly and said, "A basket of fish is not worth a cent of silver, how can it be considered fair?'"
Silently laughed and said, "Don't give in. Why not choose a sample? You can take us around the town and wait until noon to find a restaurant. Let's invite two of them. How about it?"
"Then take advantage of the young master." The fisherman happily held the little close body, then rowed the boat and opened the way in front of his head, and said loudly while rowing: "Is the young master here to have a fun?"
"Yes, Suzhou has been in a long time and it makes people feel bored. Come out and go here." Silently smiled.
"Then you are here. Although our Zhouzhuang is small, it is a good place with beautiful water, beautiful scenery and outstanding people." The fisherman smiled proudly: "You don't know, Chen Wansan is our Zhouzhuang native.
"Huh," Chen Si was surprised, but Ruohan exclaimed softly. Although she didn't speak anymore, her interest in the God of Wealth was undoubtedly revealed.
"Let's go to his house and watch it." Silently smiled: "Is there anyone living in the Zhaiyu?"
"Yes, but I'm not a little drunk," said the boatman: "It's still okay if I can't go over and take a look."
The boat arrived at a private pier and tied the boat cables. When I picked up the steps, I went ashore, facing a simple and slightly narrow house. Zhengfu told Ximo that it was the former residence of Xiwansan, and he had never filled a brick or tile for more than a hundred years.
The extremely low-key house, the difficulty makes people think of Shen Dashen, who is rich and wealthy, but silently knows that the house in the south emphasizes the exquisiteness and luxury inside, and is often hidden but not exposed outside. The smart choice of the people in the north is completely different from the people who pay attention to the glamorous front of the house.
So he was still full of curiosity about the inside, but after attacking, he was lost... The fisherman explained his intention to the owner, and the owner was very hospitable, took the initiative to act as a tour guide, leading the silent couple into it layer by layer. Many years ago, the etiquette at home showed the last, the living room, the inner room, and the dining hall, all in the same line, extending a long string.
Although it reminds people of the prosperous population and enough rooms, it is more frugal than any other person who has ever seen in the garden. I think this man who can help one-third of the walls of the imperial capital with ease and reward the three armies with no effort at all, his wealth cannot be less than those officials who retire, right?
For example, Wang Xianchen, who built the Humble Administrator's Garden, probably one hundred or more, did not have the money to Shen Wansan? But he could build Zhong Cui Tiandi.
The luxurious garden that is worthy of a private fairyland and lives leisurely and leisurely. However, this rich man who is comparable to the country, can only feel wronged in this forced and helpless house, and even silent will repay him for his injustice.
Ruohan understood the meaning of a businessman more and said softly: "The wealth of a businessman lies in circulation, in the prosperity of the market, not in whether the family is luxurious."
After hearing this, he sighed: "Besides, no matter how rich he is, he is just a businessman. Without guards and without the protection of the government, who dares to promote it without scrupulously?
Ruohan shook his head and smiled, "The environment in which Xi Wansan was in was much more difficult than now. In fact, our wealthy family in Jiangnan is comparable to that of Wang Hou's mansion. From this point of view, the changes in the environment are still gratifying." He sighed quietly: But a real business like Chen Wansan no longer exists."
After coming out of Chen Wansan's old residence, I felt the begging atmosphere was a bit heavy, and I smiled silently: "It's noon and I'm hungry. Lao Qian will take us to find a place to eat.'" During the conversation, I knew that the fisherman's surname was Qian.
Lao Qian took everyone to a nearby vanity building across the river, and on the guise he was carrying. The four words "Shen Family Restaurant" made Chen Si feel very friendly and smiled at Ruohan, "Do you feel like you are home?"
"I'm obviously commemorating Chen Wansan," Ruohan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with our family?"
"That's not necessarily," Chen Si smiled and said, "I didn't hear the man just now say that Chen Wansan's ancestral home was something we prayed for. Maybe we would be with your husband two hundred years ago."
"It's okay to choose a joke." Ruohan's face changed and she lowered her voice: "But if others hear it, they will laugh at her husband." When Qingzu, a businessman, they will always be laughed at.
"Just as they think that the famous prostitutes in Qinhuai are very childish and noble." Chen Si curled his lips and said, "I think Chen Wansan is like a very bad person!"
"Okay! This young man said it well!" This resonated with the store owner. The fat shopkeeper walked out of the counter and greeted himself: "I'll ask you if you want to say something to you, and the old man will also give you a bowl of 'Apo tea'."
Bianjiang quietly invited him to the most spacious elegant seat next to the window, wiped the table with a white rag, and then asked him to sit down.
He smiled silently and said, "Just heard Lao Qian say 'The last tons of grandma's tea is not considered to be in Zhouzhuang'. I was very curious about what unique thing the tea made by the old lady is that she always talks about?"
Xiaoer served a few dishes of pickled vegetables, pickled cucumbers, and crispy beans.
When the sixteenth one is open, the sixteenth one is open for snacks. The shopkeeper brought a set of exquisite tea sets, including blue and white porcelain tea bowls, delicate and exquisite tea kettles, elegant and quaint tea pots and bright tea trays. While putting them on the table, he smiled and said, "It's not the tea made by the grandma, but the tea eaten by the grandma."
As he said that, he looked at the pair of people and smiled and said, "When it's hot, young people can eat too."
"What's the name of this tea?" asked silently.
"That's a lot of talk." The shopkeeper scooped a pot of crock pot from the big dragon water tank in the patio, put it on the blast furnace, and lit it with branches, saying: "
For example, this water is like a sky falling into the water, which is a little more spiritual than the water on the ground.”
When he was silent, he immediately thought of Sun Wuzi's rootless water. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Buy it for a while."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Dried vegetables, stewed tea with firewood, the fire is stewed with strong fire, and it will gulp in a blink of an eye." The fruit is boiled. After a while, the hot and hot crock in the crock pot was begging for heat, and he said again: "Eat and stew it while you are so stewed, so that the tea is so savory. It is called a fragrant smell."
After savoring the rich and sweet and refreshing grandma tea, the powerful banquet came. The restaurant was very sincere, and the famous ones, Jiang Sanzhen, sea bass, white, and silverfish were not pulled. The most famous one is the ",, sea bass soup", which is known as one of the three famous dishes in Jiangnan. Silenced the idea of ​​a trip to Zhouzhuang this time, and half of it was seduced by him.
In fact, real bass should have four gills, but the one produced in Zhouzhuang is two gills. Compared to what you eat in Hangzhou, there are no stings on the back, but there are spots. Because of the yearning for a beautiful allusion, Silence has specially verified that this kind of fish is, the wild pineapple fish in the river, of course, can also be called (not seen here.)
But this ', , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
But when you really want to taste it, it seems that the dish ", , sea bass soup" that you eat in West Lake is better than the delicious food. After all, it is a famous chef (monthly meeting). Compared with this country shop, at least the ingredients are less, so you can take it as the best in the world. But when you evaluate it, you are willing to regard it as the best in the world and praise it: "It is indeed the most authentic thing in Zhouzhuang!" It seems that because of Zhang Dazi, what they eat is not a simple sea bass soup, but a kind of literati taste. This is probably the feeling of most people.
In fact, this dish itself is still very exciting. The sea bass that melts in the mouth, and the same melts in the mouth, is also made by the chef's ingenious (monthly meeting). It makes people feel like the soul of the europium, but the expectations are too high in advance, and the Zong is just disappointed.
Fortunately, there is not only sea bass in the river, but the other dishes are also wonderful. For example, the white (Zhongjian) seeds named after the river are a beautiful shellfish. They are made with bacon, and are as white as milk. They taste mellow and delicious. There is also a dish of stir-fried leeks, which is to pick out the meat, cut it into shreds and stir-fry it, so that people can't stop chopsticks after a bite.
What Ruohan likes most is the "fresh, stewed silverfish". Silverfish is a small fish as small as a needle. It has no bones and no thorns, but it is indeed extremely tender. It is gathered with two treasures of vegetables, one is thick and green, and the other is soft and white, like silk and satin, charming but not (not seen here). It is thin and simple and elegant, and the whole is a microcosm of Jiangnan.
When I eat fish and shrimps from Bai (Chongjian) River, even the wine I drink is made of the "October White" made from the river water. Although it is local wine, it still has the style of a small town in Jiangnan. It is clear and delicious, and has a long aftertaste. Especially when it comes to the fish and shrimps that are born with the same water, it can be regarded as the original soup and original food.
It's just about sea bass, white (worms), not to mention silverfish, these fine things swimming in the water. Although they are delicious, they seem too beautiful. Ruohan eats them just right, but it makes some hungry gods and demons too dissatisfied because they are too unsatisfied.
The hot and steaming hot immediately, and the whole pig's trotter was served with a tempting sauce. The shopkeeper said, "It is said that there must be a shu hoof for the Shen family when there is a banquet." This Wansan hoof is the delicacy that Shen Wansan was entertaining guests back then. You may as well try it."
After eating a lot of delicate food, I saw the pig's trotters filled with meat. Not only Shen Mo, but even Ruohan also had a big index finger, but both of them were gentlemen.
It is impossible to imitate Fan Kuai and pick up the whole pig's trotter and bit it.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper was just showing off. Jing didn't want to make things difficult for them. Seeing that they showed a worried expression, he stepped forward like a treasure, took a thin bone from the long bones that penetrated the entire pig's trotter and gently tugged it. The pig's trotter (fire fear) was so hot that it was full of heat, and the hoof was still motionless. The shopkeeper used the bone as a knife, skillfully scraped the hoofs, and divided them neatly into pieces suitable for food.
While serving a small piece of Wansan hoof to the two, the shopkeeper told the story: "By the way, Emperor Taizu came to the Shen family to be a guest. Shen Wansan treated him with this. At that time, Taizu asked him how to eat this, because he chose the sample at that time, and the entire uncut hoof was not cut. If Shen Wansan used a knife, then Emperor Taizu could justify his crime." Zhu Nai's former dynasty's surname, Ru Jing used a knife to kill pigs, which would cause him to lose his head.
"Shen Wansan is such a smart person. With a sudden inspiration, he used this method to solve the emperor's problem." The shopkeeper continued: "The emperor felt delicious after eating it, so he asked him: Wansan, what is the name of this horn?' Shen Wansan thought, he couldn't tell the truth, it was 'pig's trotter neck', otherwise he would have been taboo again, and patted his thigh and said, 'This is Wansan's trotter!' So this dish got its name from this."
When I talked about this, guests would laugh. Even if they were reserved, they would praise him "I'm so smart"! But strangely, these two guests.
However, a sad expression appeared on his face, which made the shopkeeper feel that he was wrong. He quickly stopped talking and said, "Don't bother you anymore, please listen to a song."
Shen Mo and his wife had just come to see that the father and daughter of Yao had been waiting for the side, so they did not object.
Seeing that they had agreed, the daughter of Fang Erba, who was wearing money clothes, came to the table and deeply said four blessings. His father blew the beautiful Su Di. After the prelude, the daughter suddenly opened her mouth and sang.
As he listened, he frowned. Although he was not very proficient in the music, he could also hear that the singing was sad and grieving, as if he was full of depression and could not express it, which made people cry when they heard it.
"Stop singing!" The shopkeeper also heard it. He came over angrily and snatched the old man Su Di and said, "I'm sorry that you are singing here, but singing these devastating songs? It disturbed the young master's elegance. Are you so ungrateful?"
Seeing that the father and daughter kept kowtowing and apologizing, they were silent and sympathetic, saying, "Oh, shopkeeper, don't blame me."
There is a saying that "the song is the voice of the heart. If the song is depressed and angry, no matter how happy the song is, it will not be sang sad." As he said that, he waved and said, "The father-in-law, let's talk." This was said to the father.
Talking to yourself...
Maybe I really need a doctor.
Seeing that the young master had spoken, the shopkeeper naturally would not curse again. He patted the father's arm and said, " "Is it better to get it over..."
Oh, the villain obeyed the order." The father got up in fear and trepidation, lowered his head and stepped forward. Ruohan also stood up and greeted the little girl: "Come on, little sister, let's not sit at the table and talk." The little girl was trembling. But when she saw a fairy-like figure like Ruohan, she immediately forgot to be afraid and followed her obediently.
Silence asked the shopkeeper to add some dishes to the old man. He personally poured a cup of 'October White' for him, and said with a smile: "Drink this cup and then eat something, let's talk about it slowly."
The old man was flattered. He held the wine glass with both hands, and in Shen Mo's gentle smile, he raised his head and drank it all, then wiped the corners of his eyes, and said emotionally: "Young master, you are a good man. I won't take out the old man's nothing to worry about your fun."
