Yaozhuang Town is located in the northeast of Jiashan, Jiaxing.

It is adjacent to Shanghai in the east, Hangzhou in the west, and Suzhou in the north, where the transportation hub is located.

It's just that Yaozhuang Town is too small, with a population of just over 20,000 people.

The land here is fertile, the climate is mild, and it is also famous as the land of fish and rice.

The character of the people here is the same as the landscape this time, which can be described in one word:

Quiet!

Quiet and quiet, the wind is light, I look down on the prosperity of the world, let it surge, I treat people with a normal heart.

It is probably because of this "quietness" that the people of Yaozhuang Town also uphold the character of most Jiaxing people: generous, open-minded, sincere and introverted.

They are not overly enthusiastic about all first-time guests, and they certainly never turn them away.

Two cars drove into Yaozhuang Town.

The locals are also used to seeing it.

The car was parked, the seven people got out of the car, and Meng Shaoyuan asked Mu Dekai to inquire if there were any hotels nearby, and he and the others could exercise themselves.

After all, in this era, there is no high-speed rail, which is driven all the way from Shanghai. Many roads are not easy to walk, potholes, bumps so far, there are some tired.

On the other side of the path, there was a stall, and an old man in his sixties sat on the ground, and when he saw customers, he did not solicit business, but sang a little nursery rhyme by himself:

"I have a little hairy head for a long time, and I am so bitter that I can't talk about it, there is only a small quilt, and I don't ...... cover my head and don't my head."

Although he is old and his voice is a little hoarse, since ancient times, Wu Nong's soft language and good voice are the most good, which actually attracted Meng Shaoyuan and several people to the past.

"It's good, it's good."

When the old man finished singing, Zhu Yanni clapped her hands and was excited.

But then his eyes fell on his stall, and a pair of eyes suddenly couldn't be moved.

The old man sells the famous Jiaxing zongzi.

Among the zongzi, the fresh meat zongzi is the most famous.

It is made of glutinous rice, soy sauce, and sliced fresh meat, and then mixed with salt and sugar, wrapped in clean dumpling leaves, and boiled over high heat.

When it is burned and taken out, the dumplings are fragrant. Then carefully peel off the dumpling leaves, the dumplings inside are glutinous but not rotten, oily and delicious.

Not to mention Zhu Yanni, even Meng Shaoyuan and a few people couldn't help but swallow quietly when they saw the sample that peeled off the dumpling leaves and put it there.

"Little girl." The old man smiled: "Buckle and buckle well, cut while Jiang Baichang inside, and the top is good." Don't be greedy and greedy......"

What?

Foreign language?

Meng Shaoyuan and several people looked at each other.

Last time in Wuxi, this time in Yaozhuang Town, how can you listen to the dialect as if you are listening to a foreign language?

Fortunately, Tian Qi is from Hangzhou, and most of the old man's words can be understood:

He said, this zongzi has just been made, and you can eat it while chatting, it's the best. It is that zongzi is easy to accumulate food. Don't be greedy for too much food. ”

Well, well, China is so big, how many dialects?

It seems that I will have to bring an interpreter with me wherever I go in the future.

Meng Shaoyuan bought a zongzi for no one, and the green zongzi leaves outside were green and crisp, and they couldn't bear to start.

Peel off the dumpling leaves and take a bite, it will be really fragrant.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Krett gobbled up, completely disregarding the image: "It's really ......"

"Shut up!"

Several people who endured Kret's idiom all the way shouted at the same time.

It's too late:

"It's a terrible dog!"

"You're the evil dog pounced, and your whole family is pounced on by the dog!"

Meng Shaoyuan's nose was almost crooked, and he didn't bother to teach him that the correct pronunciation of this idiom should be "hunger does not choose food".

No, it doesn't seem to be the right thing to eat, right?

"Found it, found it." Mu Dekai came back in a hurry, and when he saw these guys eating zongzi, his eyes widened: "The legs I looked for in the hotel are about to break, you guys are good, have you eaten?" What about mine? ”

"Buy it yourself."

"What a person!"

A few people were full of rice dumplings, and drove to the hotel that Mu Dekai said.

Again, the old-school name is used:

Ruyi Inn.

As soon as he saw that the group was coming in two cars, the boss knew that it was the big boss who came to the door, and without any more orders, he immediately left the best rooms in the hotel to them.

Settle down, take a break, and see if it's already time to eat.

It stands to reason that you will never be hungry after eating zongzi, but since you have come here, if you don't try the local characteristics, it is impossible to say that you can't say anything about it.

I asked the boss, and the best restaurant here is the "Lao Shunxin Restaurant" that is dozens of steps away.

The boss also specially explained: "I went, and told the shopkeeper that it was a guest who lived with me, and there must be a discount." ”

Lao Shunxin Restaurant is built on the edge of a clear river, find a place to sit by the window on the second floor, drink and chat, enjoy the outside scenery, look at the beautiful and gentle Jiangnan woman washing clothes by the river, the most comfortable.

"I can't eat it." Zhu Yanni frowned.

The shopkeeper smiled at a glance: "A few of you have just eaten zongzi, right?" It's okay, you have to trust me, I'll help you with the dishes. Let's get the most famous mushroom in Yaozhuang, one stir-fry, one to make soup, and then get a four-cornered ling, the real Nanhu ling, thin skin and white meat, fragrant and refreshing, the best to consume......

It's a coincidence that you've heard of the phrase 'Seven Star Snow Vegetables Fragrant Thousands of Miles'? It's about Yangmiao snow vegetables, smooth, appetizing, and shengjin, and I happened to get a batch here. Then, if you are hungry, don't eat the zongzi, and get a bite of Xitang's Bazhen cake...... Finally, it is accompanied by a jar of Jiashan rice wine, ouch, that's a good wine......"

"Shopkeeper, don't talk about it." Meng Shaoyuan found that his saliva was about to flow down: "What you said just now, go on, hurry up and give it to us." ”

"Okay, you guys wait, you'll be right away."

Zhu Yanni actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard: "Why am I hungry again?" ”

Don't say it's her, everyone was introduced by the shopkeeper, and they all stared at the stairs one by one, hoping that the guy would serve the food immediately.

In such a beautiful and quiet place, with a few exquisite side dishes and a jar of rice wine, the taste is absolutely different from the bustling Shanghai.

A few of them almost forgot what they were here for.

Finally, Meng Shaoyuan's mind was still clear, and the three cups of rice wine went down: "I said, we are not here to play and eat, how to solve that trouble, have you thought about it?" ”

"Nope!"

Xiang Shounong replied neatly: "You are the captain, you can find a way, we just follow you." ”

No way!

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "I thought about a few plans along the way, but when I came here, I had a new plan in my head. ”

He looked to the side, and then suddenly shouted at the stairs:

"Shopkeeper!"
