If the morning tea in the world is divided into three parts, one part is in Guangzhou, and I think the other part must be in Yangzhou. Before I came to Yangzhou, all my impressions of Yangzhou came from ancient poems: "Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", "Ten-year Yangzhou Dream", "Ten-mile long street is connected with the street, and I see immortals on the moonlight bridge, and my life only dies in Yangzhou" and "I ride a crane down to Yangzhou with wealth".
With these wonderful expectations, I replaced Hangzhou in my trip to the south of the Yangtze River with Yangzhou. When you travel to Yangzhou, whether you look up the Raiders on the Internet or ask the local taxi driver and aunt who sells biscuits, you will hear a high-frequency saying, "Pack water in the morning and water at night."
To understand the essence of this sentence, you must go to two local teahouses and bathhouses in Yangzhou city.
In Guangzhou, the place to drink morning tea is often called a restaurant, and refreshments are the mainstay of the morning market. However, restaurants not only make morning tea, but also lunch and night markets. Of course, some restaurants also provide snacks all day. But in Cantonese morning tea, tea is only a supporting role.
The place where Yangzhou drinks morning tea is often called teahouse, and the weight of tea in Yangzhou morning tea can be said to be equal to that of snacks. Different from the names of restaurants in Guangzhou, the tea clubs in Yangzhou have one thing in common: they all love the word "spring" in their names. For example: Tian Chun, Xichun, Yan Chun, Li Chun, Liu Chun, Jin Chun, Long Tingchun and so on. Probably because the spring in Yangzhou is the most beautiful, even if the word "spring" is not occupied, it will start on February 2, which shows how much the tea club in Yangzhou attaches importance to this word.
Of course, if you want to mention the carrier of Yangzhou morning tea industry, you have to mention: "Yangzhou Three Springs"
Fuchun Tea House, Ye Chun Tea House and Gonghechun Tea House.
These three teahouses have a long-standing reputation in the local area, which is the case compared with Guangzhou: Fuchun Teahouse is equivalent to Taotaoju, the most traditional and lively, located in the old city; Ye Chun Tea House is equivalent to Panxi Restaurant, a garden-style tea house, decorated with style, and built on the edge of Slender West Lake. Generally, locals like to go to these two places to entertain guests; Gonghechun is equivalent to having everything, opening the most branches, and being grounded.
If the journey in Yangzhou is short and there are not many opportunities to have morning tea, Fuchun Tea House is the first one. Fuchun Tea House was first named "Fuchun Flower Bureau", which was opened in the 11th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, and was basically at the same time as Taotao House in Guangzhou. There is a saying in Yangzhou that you have never been to Yangzhou without going to Fuchun.
Fuchun teahouse is hidden in an alley, quiet in the noise, which is probably the so-called tea fragrance is not afraid of the deep alley. Hiding in this humble alley, the appearance looks ugly. According to my Guangdong intuition, the things in this shop must be not bad.
When I entered the store, I found that there was no Gankun in it. The decoration environment is no different from that of ordinary old teahouses, but Fuchun Teahouse is particularly unique in that it is particularly friendly to tourists who come alone. There is a set meal for one person, which is light in weight and varied, and is very close to the tourists' mind.
Fuchun Teahouse, with tea as the mainstay, enjoys drinking Jiangnan green tea. Fuchun Tea House combines the best green tea in the south of the Yangtze River with exquisite creativity to prepare "Kuilongzhu", including Zhejiang Longjing with refreshing taste, Kuizhen in Anhui with full color, and Cynthia with long local fragrance. Then it is brewed with Yangzhou River, which is the world-famous "one river cooks three provinces of tea"
You think it's just tea? Fuchun Yaorou, sweet spiced smoked fish, finely cooked dried silk, full and rich crab-yellow soup packets, and "thousand-layer oil cake and jade roast" are known as Yangzhou's double wonders.
If Guangdong Morning Tea is like a sweet and lively girl, then Yang Morning Tea is an artist who plays music in cheongsam.
If I didn't go to Yangzhou, I would never know that Yangzhou's morning tea was so delicious. Tea completely defeated Guangzhou, and refreshments were not lost to Guangzhou. In addition, Yangzhou was also rated as the food capital of the world, and even Guangzhou failed to get it.
Just why is there such a big difference in popularity between Yangzhou morning tea and Guangzhou morning tea? Let's talk about our own views.
