Chapter 1285: The Grand Canal

Lan Ruoxin's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that she is not far from production, and the strange thing is that she didn't have a trace of adverse reactions when she took the boat, but she couldn't let go of the industry she had just established.

Yang Huairen had no choice but to help her massage her waist and comfort her, "No matter how much money you make, it's not as important as living comfortably." ”

Lan Ruoxin naturally understands this truth, her martial arts idiot father may not be very good at starting a business, but it is still no problem to keep a business.

More importantly, she is now the leader of the invisible beggar gang, even if she is no longer in the capital, the beggar gang will fully support Lan Nadu, as for the previous disputes between clean clothes and dirty clothes, they have long since become less important in the face of actual interests.

Leaving his hometown may only be temporary, but Yang Huairen still told his family that he felt sorry for the decision to be made so hurriedly and so suddenly.

But there are some things that are imperative, stay in the capital, and there will be more unpredictable troubles in the future.

Mother Yang expressed her understanding, and she summed it up in one sentence, you are the head of the family, where you go, the whole family will follow you, between relatives, there is no need to apologize.

The brothers also said the same, although Yang Huairen is not the oldest in terms of age, but in fact, he is the backbone of everyone.

Of course, there are also people who don't have much pressure, such as children who are not sensible, they are still young, and the concept of home only stays in the arms of their mothers or fathers, and they have never been exposed to the countryside.

Tianba's younger brother and the second girl are purely heartless, as soon as the boat started, these two guys didn't know where to get a tacit understanding, and asked the boatmen one by one to inquire about what to eat in Jiangnan.

Tianba's younger brother, a big foodie, asked so much, the second girl was still complaining that her brother's decision was too sudden the day before, so that she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to her best friend Qingzhao.

Maybe it's not that they are distracted, but they try their best to show a kind of optimism in front of Yang Huairen and express their support for their brother in such a special way.

Of course, Yang Huairen also has to satisfy the simple desire of foodies like them for unknown food.

The Bianhe River is only a section of the Grand Canal, and it was not very wide at first, but when the boat passed through Yingtianfu, the river suddenly widened, and the scenery on both sides of the river also changed significantly.

This summer's rain is abundant, whether it is the Huanghuai or the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the water situation has risen, the bad thing is that some areas have floods, the good side is that the canal has a lot of water, and the merchant ships coming and going are more unimpeded.

There are many wharves along the river, and although they vary in size, every few tens of miles, there is a town built because of the wharf.

All of these towns are thriving, with trees and farmland along the banks making the scenery even more pleasant.

The beautiful scenery made everyone gradually let go of the sorrow of leaving home, and the atmosphere on the ship gradually returned to the ease and liveliness of the previous Zhuangzi, but the ghost sister could only hold in the cabin alone, not daring to go up to the deck to breathe fresh air.

Yang Huairen was a little reluctant to go, and would spend a lot of time in the cabin to accompany her every day.

This is also something that can't be helped, because of the hurry, a team of accompanying officials arranged by the imperial court for Yang Huairen will set off later and meet after arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, but these big dragon ships also have the imperial court's transportation officials, not to mention the noisy boatmen.

Since Sister Ghost is pretending to be sick, she must hide her eyes, so she can't get out of the hatch, and near the cabin where she lives, there are guards guarding her every day, and outsiders must not be allowed to see a healthy princess of Anguo.

Yang Huairen told her that this is called sacrificing one person and making thousands of families happy. Sister Ghost replied that she was also happy, at least now she occupied Yang Huairen the most.

So for the sake of her own happiness and everyone's happiness, the windows in the cabin were never opened.

In fact, she really wanted to see the Grand Canal dug by the Han people, such a magnificent project, and she felt that only the Han people in this world could do it.

Yang Huairen told her about the history of the Grand Canal, but in fact, what he said was not necessarily all right, and he didn't learn much about the canal back then.

For example, it is often said that the Grand Canal communicates the north and the south, and the communication here is not only the communication of goods, but the inner meaning of these two words is the contribution of the Grand Canal to the entire Chinese history.

Speaking of food, when there was no Grand Canal, the circulation of food between the north and the south was very difficult, not only the transportation of grain, but in the food culture of the people, the north and the south are completely different.

In the later generations of northern and southern cuisines, Sichuan cuisine out of the basin really popularized to every corner of China, it is less than a hundred years, and the development of Cantonese cuisine into a system is also a matter of the late Qing Dynasty.

The two major cuisines with the largest scale and the most far-reaching influence, Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, are precisely because of the heyday of the use of the Grand Canal in the Song Dynasty, and there was all-round communication and integration.

Compared with the long history and orderly inheritance of Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine originally seemed a bit fragmented, and it was more like a fusion of several small cuisines.

Hui cuisine, Gan cuisine, Su cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine, as well as other cuisines with local characteristics, have had a new development under the influence of Shandong cuisine after the Grand Canal sent more and more northerners to the south of the Yangtze River.

It is precisely because of the integration of the knife work of Lu cuisine that the dishes have become more refined, and even have a greater leap in subtlety.

Looking carefully at the many representative dishes of Lu cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, as well as their development and formation history, it is not difficult to find that some of the dishes of Shandong cuisine are actually very similar to those of Huaiyang cuisine.

This is the result of fusion, which is positive and positive, and a dish may not be enough to bring out its most delicious potential.

However, after using the treatment methods of both cuisines, both the taste and the variety of dishes have made great progress.

The chefs of the north and south are also actively learning from each other's strengths and gradually integrating them into their own skills.

The happiest nature is the people, and this integration and communication allows the people in the north and south to enjoy more food, which reflects the traditional concept of the Chinese family and everything is prosperous.

Yang Huairen looked at Sister Ghost, two people of different races were combined, although there were huge differences in living habits, written language, and cultural beliefs, these have never become a barrier between the two people.

They get along very well together and live happily.

Perhaps our ancestors from the beginning told us the most crucial point of reproduction, and.

And the estrangement is not caused by the difference of race, it is our heart that breeds the estrangement.
