Chapter 356 Painting Boat Lingbo

"The Qinhuai River was originally a tributary of the Yangtze River flowing through the Nanjing area. It was called the Huai River in ancient times. According to legend, when Qin Shihuang was on a tour to the east, he saw the purple air rising above Jinling and thought it was royal air. Later generations mistakenly believed that this water was opened in the Qin Dynasty, so it was called Qinhuai. People often say that the ten-mile Qinhuai River refers to the inner Qinhuai River flowing into the southern capital city. It starts from Dongshuiguan in the east, takes the Confucius Temple as the center, and crosses the Wende Bridge , Wuyi Lane, until Zhonghuamen Castle extends to Xishuiguan. Let’s wander on the painting boat today, and come back to this pier later.” Jiang Rumeng packed a small painting boat and introduced the Qinhuai River. talking about today's arrangements, waiting for the Qinhuai woman on board to serve Huaiyang snacks.

   After a while, two curvaceous Qinhuai women brought many snacks to the table. They are the maids of this painting boat. For some reason, it seems to be somewhat similar to Jiang Rumeng's temperament, but it is slightly inferior, and there is also the feeling of being eloquent but generous.

A girl introduced in soft Jinling Mandarin: "These are our special snacks in Qinhuai, collectively known as the Eight Wonders of Qinhuai. The first must: Huangqiao Shaobing and Kaiyang dried shredded rice in Yonghe Garden, and the second must: Jiang Youji The beef soup and beef pot stickers, the third must: Liufengju's tofu and scallion pancakes, the fourth must: Qifangge's duck fried pancakes and assorted vegetable buns, the fifth must: Qifangge's dried sesame oil and vegetables Shredded Chicken Noodles, Sixth Must-have: Sweet-scented Osmanthus-filled Lantern Festival and Five-color Small Cake from Lianhu Cake Shop, Seventh Must-have: Smoked Fish Silver Noodles and Thin-Skinned Dumplings from Zhanyuan Noodle House, Eighth Must-have: Five-spice from Kuiguang Pavilion Beans and spiced eggs.”

Another girl introduced: "There is also the ninth set, which is the famous Huaiyang dish that Sister Rumeng specially explained. It is filled with fragrant Dong Tang, rolled crisp Dong Tang, and tiger skin meat with oily meat. This kind of meat is also called Dong meat. , is the delicacy created by Dong Xiaowan.”

  On a small square table with a square meter of one meter, there are exquisitely crafted snacks with exquisite materials and exquisite and well-designed utensils.

   What's more, Ding Mu has four beauties as companions, all of whom are beautiful and delicious. Ding Mu tasted it, and the taste was just the same, but the experience was really good.

But Meng Yuman picked something wrong, she said: "Sister Rumeng, I remember Qinhuai Bajue. There is a historical story behind every dish. The national standard stipulates that every dish must tell a historical story. Why didn't we tell it?" .”

Jiang Rumeng smiled and explained: "Miss Yuman, you really know a lot. Indeed, there is something special about eating dim sum in Nandu. It is not enough to eat dim sum, but also to tell the history behind the dim sum. They didn't talk about it, so I just talked about it."

   These two girls were temporarily arranged by Jiang Rumeng. They were originally not waiters, but students of the Art Academy, part-time etiquette models, who can sing and dance, have good looks, have skills but have little knowledge. As for knowledge, Jiang Rumeng is enough.

   "Okay." Ding Mu didn't want to spoil the warm atmosphere, so he smoothed things over, "One time eating food, one time reminiscing about the past, the Qinhuai River in Jinling City is really stylish enough."

Jiang Rumeng pointed to Huangqiao sesame cakes and said: "Huangqiao sesame cakes are produced in Huangqiao Town. The reason why it is famous is closely related to the famous battle of Huangqiao. After the battle of Huangqiao started, the 12 farm mills in Huangqiao Town, 60 biscuit ovens, rushing to make biscuits day and night. The flames of war raged outside the town, and the fire in the town was red. It was designated as the first of the Qinhuai Eight Wonders."

   "I see." Ding Mu nodded to express his understanding.

  Meng Yuman had a smile on his lips and said, "Ding Mu, do you know who the commander of Dahua's Yellow Bridge Battle is?"

   "Who is it? I'm a science student, and history only knows about meat and meat." Ding Mu really didn't know these details.

   "Ah!" Jiang Rumeng seemed to know something, and said in shock, "Old General Meng, is this your relative?"

   "It's my grandfather." Meng Yuman was a little proud. Her grandfather was an admiral, even older than Mei Lao. Because her father is the youngest son, Meng Yuman's seniority is quite high.

Jiang Rumeng said in awe: "I heard that General Meng returned to Huangqiao, and the people of Huangqiao still treated him with Huangqiao biscuits. He was very excited with the biscuits in his hand. Unexpectedly, Miss Yuman turned out to be Lao Meng. Descendants of the General."

  She thought that Meng Yuman was just Ding Mu's ordinary personal assistant, responsible for Ding Mu's basic necessities of life, but she didn't expect that she was a lady of every family, and also a third-generation red who knew everything about the world.

  Ding Mu was also a little surprised and said: "Ah, your grandfather is the old general Meng, and this is the first time I know. So, you and Mei Xuejian have similar family backgrounds. You are too talented."

   "There is nothing wrong with my talent, I like it." Meng Yuman said something vague and ambiguous, and I don't know if she wants to say that she likes this job or Ding Mu.

  Jiang Rumeng finally knew why Mengyuman insisted on telling the allusion of Huangqiao Shaobing, because she took this opportunity to naturally tell who her grandfather was. And listening to Ding Mu's voice, there is also a girl named Mei Xuejian. I don't know what his identity is. This Ding Mu's family background is enough, but he still has a few great beauties. Some of the methods he originally thought of to please men are afraid to use.

  However, Jiang Rumeng still said to the two girls he arranged with a glib tongue: "You two, you really got to meet the nobleman today. Why don't you bring out your special show and show it to the distinguished guests."

  Two outstanding beauties of school beauty looked at each other, took out a guqin, and said in unison, "We two play a little song in succession, please give me your advice."

   After finishing speaking, the two played with bare hands,

   "I have a love story, sing it for you gentlemen, gentlemen and gentlemen, be quiet and calm down, let me sing a song about Qinhuai scenery, tell it carefully, sing it for your gentlemen..."

  Painting boat Lingbo, the sound of oars and the shadow of lights. The green water is like a belt, and the beauty is like a dream.

After the beautiful woman played with plain hands, Ding Mu felt itchy. He borrowed the guqin to caress, half-reading and half-singing: "When is the spring flower and autumn moon?" The puzzle is still there, but Zhu Yan has changed. Asking how much sorrow you can have, it is like a river of spring water flowing eastward."

  Ding Mu enjoys the adoring gazes of beauties and the overt and secret compliments in the gentle village, like enjoying the spring breeze and drinking fine wine. At the same time, Tang Mingyuan was drinking with a man in a Chinese-style cardigan in a restaurant. He said, "Master Ren, there won't be any trouble with the demolition."

   "Absolutely not. I'm sure anyone's friends are reliable. Let's just drink and wait for our good news."
