Some people say that Guifeng Village is like a landscape painting with elegant style, exquisite brushwork and sincerity. The ancient buildings in Guifeng Village are located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by mountains and waters. Entering Guifeng, the ancient bridge is flowing, and Gu Xiang is secluded, with elegant ancient houses, mottled ancient walls and long ancient charm. The beauty of Guifeng lies in its simplicity and quietness, and its beauty lies in its elegance.
When you come to Guifeng and enjoy the scenery, it is natural to eat, drink and be merry. Travel is the most thorough relaxation.
Taste first is the eternal truth of retaining tourists. There are three places to eat in Guifeng. First, the tofu brain in Shiqiao Scenic Area; Secondly, it is maltose in Guxiang residential buildings; The third is the farmhouse meal in the village inn.
Shiqiao Scenic Area is the first core scenic spot after entering Guifeng, and it is also the most prosperous area, with many shops around it, including several bean curd shops.
I am born with no resistance to tofu brain, and I buy a snack every time I go to Turtle Peak. The price of tofu brain is very reasonable. Many tourists will buy a bowl of tofu brain for 3 yuan to taste.
The shopkeeper scooped out pieces of bean curd with rich bean flavor from the big barrel and put them in a disposable bowl. The ingredients are all added by tourists themselves. Dried radish can be added to salty food, white sugar or brown sugar can be added to sweet food, and Chili sauce can be added to spicy food. My choice has always been to add brown sugar, because I like its softness and sweetness in the mouth.
There are two stone bridges in Shiqiao Scenic Area, which straddle the stream passing through the village. They are called "Yin Shi Second Bridge", which is named after a square stone shaped like an official seal between the two bridges. On the stone railing of a bridge, the column stigma is carved into the shape of official seal and badge, which means that the official name does not forget the grace of raising.
There are four osmanthus trees and two bauhinia trees around the stone bridge. The stone piers of the four osmanthus trees are built into circles, semicircles, rectangles and squares respectively, symbolizing the sun, the moon, books and seals. The tour guide said that it means that the beauty is as eternal as the sun and the moon, and wealth and power come from knowledge. I think it should be used to persuade future generations to cherish time, motivate themselves and tell them that it is the right way to cherish time and learn to be an official.
Many experts and scholars commented that Guifeng was "very cultural and the streets were full of historical flavor" after visiting it. When you come to Guifeng, you should combine the taste of food with the taste of culture, and strive to be a literate foodie.
The maltose shop is hidden in a residential building in Linxiang. It was opened by a middle-aged couple in their own home after returning home. The maltose sold is boiled by traditional techniques, which is time-consuming and laborious. It is said that it starts cooking at 5 o'clock every morning and turns into sugar at night 10.
Maltose has the functions of moistening lung, relieving cough, invigorating spleen and qi, invigorating stomach and promoting digestion. Shopkeepers will use bamboo sticks to wrap a little yellow and transparent maltose and give it to every visitor who enters the store for free.
Due to the terrain limitation, the building spacing in Guifeng Village is relatively narrow, and the roof is isolated with stacked walls, which can block the fire escape in case of fire. In order to facilitate the communication between some houses, a winding alley was built. The pavement is paved with stone strips or stones, and "all roads are stones" is also a major feature of Guifeng.
After seeing the ancient houses in Guifeng, you can choose the farmhouse restaurant for dinner. The decoration of the restaurant is also very distinctive. There are hats, hemp fibers, lanterns, dustpans and other rural supplies hanging on the wall, as well as a few strings of garlic, corn and pepper, which exudes a strong peasant atmosphere.
Guifeng village has special cuisine, including sweet meat, grass root soup, taro mushrooms and so on. Sweet pile of meat used to be a necessary dish for rural banquets. Named after the stacked boards, each piece weighs 452 liang. Now, of course, I won't cut the sweet pile of meat into such big pieces. Grass root soup is the most famous local food, and it is a nourishing product suitable for all seasons. Taro mushroom is a local specialty snack. It is made of mashed taro and sweet potato powder and kneaded into mushroom shape, which tastes smooth and sweet. Individual travelers can also go to the snack bar in Guifeng to order one or two bowls of mixed noodles or clear soup noodles, and the price is also very affordable.
Food is regional and unique. Every time you go to a place, you always have to taste the local specialties to be complete.
