The Picture of Yangzhou was written in the last years of Qianlong, and many Yangzhou dishes were recorded in Yuan Mei's Suiyuan Food List, which was published in 1792 (the 57th year of Qianlong). There are pork, braised Monopterus albus, Chengliwan tofu, stewed mushrooms, white gourd, chicken balls, ginseng bamboo shoots, Gaoyou salted duck eggs, muddy snails, Tongzhou stewed crispy fish and so on. "Braised Monopterus albus" says: "Stew Monopterus albus with wine and water, add sweet noodle sauce instead of autumn oil, put the soup in a pot and simmer it, add fennel and star anise, and start the pot. There are three diseases that should be avoided: one is that the skin is wrinkled and the skin is not brittle; A piece of meat scattered in a bowl can't be caught; Cooking with salt and black beans in summer morning, the population remains the same. The Zhu Fensi family system in Yangzhou is the best. Generally speaking, people who braise in soy sauce will regard it as the most important thing, so that the taste of braise in soy sauce will be included in eel meat. " "Tofu in Chengliwan" says: "In the twenty-third year of Qianlong, I ate fried tofu with Jin Shoumen in Chengliwan, Yangzhou, which is unparalleled. There is no marinade on both sides of tofu in summer dishes in Huang Gan, which has a slight taste of clams, but there are no clams and other sundries on the plate. Report to Xuanmen the next day. Cha Yue: I can do it, and I will be specially invited. But when I was eating at Tea House and Hangzhou Dongpu, there was a special joke dish, which was made of pure chicken brain, not real tofu. It was too fat to eat. It costs ten times as much as the trip, but it is far from delicious. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to return to China, so I can't ask Cheng for help. Cheng died more than a year ago and still regrets it. Keep his name so that he can visit again. " "Winter Melon" said: "Winter Melon is used most, and it can be matched with bird's nest, fish, meat, eel, eel and ham. This is made by Dinghui Temple in Yangchuan. It is as red as blood. No broth. " Don't mention it again. From these three items, it can be seen that Yangzhou cuisine in Qing Dynasty is one of the highlights in fireworks, spices and colors.

There are also some well-known home-cooked dishes in Yangzhou Boat Painting: "Exquisite cooking and delicious dishes are the best. For example, Wu Yishan fried tofu, Tian Yanmen fried chicken, ten kinds of pig's head meat from Jiang, delicious dishes of Wang Nanxi mixed with sturgeon and herring, summer dishes of stone fat fried pork and pear, whole sheep from Zhang Sihui, boneless fish from Wang Yinshan, clam cake from Jiang Wenmi, fried fish confused, crab noodles from Kong Bian, monk tofu, and Xiaoshan monk saddle bridge. The "family" mentioned here is not necessarily the chef's delicious dishes, such as "Jiang Wenmi", which is the "Jiang Jiali" menu recorded in Volume 10 of Yangzhou Painting Boat. His people are good at writing, cooking and medicine, so that children can choose the secret method of acne. "Looks like a doctor. It can be seen that the general level of Yangzhou cuisine production at that time was high.
