Every city that has gone through thousands of years has one? Central old town? And Taizhou? Center? , is the sea. If the name Linhai is unfamiliar to you, then the following names must be familiar.

Xie Lingyun, Luo Binwang, Zhu Xi, Xu Xiake, Zhu Ziqing, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Boduan? These famous names, these important historical figures, are inextricably linked with Linhai.

the Millennium Taizhou prefecture is full of cultural people. There are many relics in this old city. In terms of scenic spots and scenery, it will not lose to the Millennium ancient cities like Luoyang, Xi 'an, Jinan and Lijiang. As a historical reference, it also has a very important position in the history of Chinese civilization. However, it has always been so low-key and niche, just like the temperament of a group of historical figures just mentioned, with a dull appearance and a strong heart.

Walking around Ziyang Street, I found that people living here have such temperament. Like antiques and cultural relics, although no longer? Practical? , but very collectible? Collecting antiques can appreciate, and collecting a trip to Ziyang Street can bring the epitome of the sea into your arms.

What is Ziyang Street?

Ziyang Street comes from a man named Zhang Boduan in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he worked in Linhai, Ziyang Street was not called Ziyang Street. Later, Zhang Boduan went to Ziyang County, Shaanxi Province to practice. Since then, this ancestor of Nanzong Taoism has had a name:? Ziyang real person? . After Zhang Ziyang traveled all over the world, he returned to Taizhou in his later years, so the name Ziyang Street was handed down.

a street with a total length of 1km takes half a day to stroll down. Many century-old snacks and intangible cultural heritage shops are a little too low-key, and the signs are not ostentatious at all, or even have no signs. I even have a feeling that they haven't? Attractions? And? Tourists? What they have been doing for hundreds of years is neighborhood business.

1. Ziyang Inn, No.211 Ziyang Street.

If you want to write about Ziyang Street, you have to mention this inn first. The owner of Ziyang Inn is an out-and-out coastal person. In the process of the birth of this travel note, he, a local, gave me a lot of practical advice.

is his inn one? Attractions? .

There are stone tables and benches at the entrance of the inn, which are packed every evening. People living in nearby alleys will play cards and chat here, and raise their hands and cast their feet, all of which are the taste of people enjoying themselves in the seaside.

Yes, enjoy yourself. This is my first impression of Ziyang Inn. The owner of Ziyang Inn is Wang Linping. When he opened this store, there was no inn on Ziyang Street. In order to win it? Ziyang Inn? This name, he waited for three years. You know? Ziyang street? These three words are landmarks near the sea, and? Ziyang Inn? It means that it must be an example of the inn in the whole street. Therefore, the process of handling this name was full of twists and turns, but he did not give up and insisted. He said it doesn't matter. For this? Only? Later, it is worth it.

This is a small courtyard with Chinese style, which is antique. A shadow wall enters the door. Fu yun si ting? It seems to be an auspicious sentence, but the boss's interpretation is different from what I thought. He said that these four words mean: I miss playing in this courtyard when I was a teenager. Is a nostalgic person.

There is a well in front of the screen wall, which is a cultural relic with a history of about 5 years, and there is still water in it. Behind the screen wall, there are a group of huge koi fish, and further down, it is a rockery. Workers are making solid wood furniture under the promenade? It turns out that everything in this room is handmade. The furnishings of a residence are actually the interests of the owner's life. These interests are put in a shop and they are looking for the same interesting people. What a wonderful life it is to be an interesting person silently and quietly by day with countless flowing water. After staying in so many inns and hotels, I seldom see projectors in my room. Every room in Ziyang Inn is equipped with projectors, and the images are projected on the white wall. Turn off the lights, watch a movie and catch up with a drama, and I feel like lying in my bedroom. This feeling, for me, who is equally interesting, is a good blessing.

When I go to any place, I will not only watch the Raiders, but also chat with the local people, and in the process of chatting, I will seek the scenery that is most worth visiting among the local population. Looking out from the window of my room in Ziyang Inn, there is Ziyang Street below. There is a small pavilion under the window, and there is a special scenery in the pavilion.

2, No.213 Ziyang Street, Yongli Scale Store.

In the small pavilion at the entrance of Ziyang Inn, there is a huge scale, which is several meters long and as thick as an arm. Find the scale and walk past, next to the 16-year-old Wynn wooden scale shop. Busy in the shop, it is the fifth generation descendant of Wynn wooden steelyard, Teacher Cai Xuezhen. She said that the huge wooden steelyard in the pavilion next door was made by her own hands. Free load-bearing, but weighing from 1 Jin. Wooden steelyard has a long history. Behind the small wooden stick, there is a truth of being a man. When Fan Li invented the scale, in order to prevent profiteers from being short of weight, he combined the small weight with the story of Fu Lushou's Samsung? If you are short of weight, you will lose your happiness, lose your fortune and lose your life. We often say that everyone has a steelyard in his heart, which can be called the balance of the world. And? Fair? Virtue, because of a wooden steelyard, has been praised by China people for more than 2 years.

Teacher Cai Xuezhen's children are not learning to make scales. I asked her, children don't do scales now, so there is no sixth generation inheritor. How can this ancestral craft be passed down?

She looked up at me and smiled slightly embarrassed and bitter. She didn't say anything, but the action of grinding the balance beam in her hand didn't stop. After a while, a young girl came to buy a scale. Teacher Cai enthusiastically explained the principle of the wooden scale, the meaning of calibration, the way to look at the scale, and the auspicious meaning. I can see that when young people come to pay attention to the wooden scale, she is always very happy. After seeing the guests off, she said to me: Actually, I also thought about the issue of inheritance, but the children stopped weighing, so I changed my family biography to apprentice and taught students. Some young people actually like old crafts, and primary school students will come to learn to make scales during holidays, which is an extracurricular activity that belongs exclusively to Linhai and Ziyang Street. What do we always say? Weights and measures , of which? Heng? Is the scale, and this wooden scale is all? Heng? The most primitive one of them, its history can be traced back to the 8th century BC. Nowadays, most young people are using electronic scales, and few people use this kind of wooden pole scale again. From the first generation to the fifth generation to inherit the intangible cultural heritage skills, Wynn Scale Store has been open here for more than 16 years, and has never changed places. Five generations have quietly guarded this Ziyang Street, and what has settled down is to keep the original heart.

3, No.253 Ziyang Street, Hutchison Private Cuisine.

what does an old street rely on to maintain a thousand-year history? It is to eat! Ziyang street is a well-deserved street? Snack street? . There are many old smells that have been circulating for hundreds of years in this street. Walking in every corner, if you want to eat all the snacks at once, the whole street will come down, and only this shop is the most complete. Hutchison private cuisine, although it is called private cuisine, is it not at all? Selfish? The price is very close to the people and it is very suitable for a family or friends to eat together.

I recommend some special snacks I have eaten in Ziyang Street to you:

Egg white sheep tail.

it is beaten with pure egg white until it becomes solid? Flour? Shape, then wrapped in bean paste stuffing, fried.

this small cake is full of the smell of egg white, and there is no greasy feeling. It's delicious to melt in the mouth with bean paste.

behind a small dumpling, it is so time-consuming and laborious. Egg white sheep's tail is a snack in the streets and lanes of Linhai people. It looks a little like a sheep's tail, so it got the name.

waxberry soup.

a dish unique to Hutchison private kitchen was designed by the boss himself. Its raw materials are pure red bayberry, honey and egg white. The sweetness of red bayberry and the sweetness of honey blend together, and then the egg white is broken and decorated, which is more beautiful to watch and eat.

It's a pity that Myrica rubra is only available for 2 days before and after the summer solstice. If you go to Hutchison Private Cuisine in early July, you may still be able to eat it.

bad soup. A special snack with a history. Linhai on the 14th day of the first month, every household has to eat this bad soup. Bad soup looks like a pot? Hum? People in linhai can cook it, and it has become a ritual and a tradition for people to eat it now, but in the old days, it was only affordable for people's families during the New Year? Big dish? .

now that the living standard has improved, the bad soup is no longer there? Precious? The spelling is craftsmanship and taste. It has been circulated among people in Linhai for 14 years, and it must be eaten during a trip to Linhai.

wheat cake.

is this crispy? Talk? Cake, the material is also very simple, that is, pork and eggs, but its taste and color are very attractive, even people who are not hungry want to eat a few bites. Wheat cake is a kind of traditional food that people in Linhai, even the whole Taizhou and even several nearby cities like to eat very much.

stewed eggs with ginger sauce.

A special food in Linhai, which contains ginger, walnuts, brown sugar and eggs. The taste of brown sugar is faint, and the taste of ginger is faint. On the contrary, the taste of walnut kernel is thick, and the taste of eggs is fragrant. The overall taste is loose and soft, and it is very, very satisfying with a piece of wheat cake.

The owner of Hutchison Private Kitchen is the only one in Linhai who has been certified by China Cuisine Association? China cooking master? The title of the person, the only one in the city, really very private.

After the hotel became famous, he opened another inn, Ziyang Inn mentioned at the beginning.

4, No.15 Ziyang Street, Linggen Straw.

I didn't want to have a look when I passed this shop, but after hearing the conversation between the boss and the guests, I went in.

The guest picked up this fan and asked, How much is it?

5 yuan.

so expensive? Can it be cheaper? Let's say 2.

every penny is worth a lot. it's not just a fan, but also a work of art.

The guest is an uncle of a tour group. He looks at this inexplicable old man. With a funny expression, I threw the fan there and left.

I watched for a while.

This is a no-bargain shop. Is any guest questioning this? Art? The boss won't explain too much about the price, but her expression is full of words, as if to say: I sell this price for a reason, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it, I'll wait for someone who knows the goods.

I went in and chatted with her. Her name is Zheng Xianhong, and she is the fourth generation inheritor of Lingen Straw, a handicraft skill of intangible cultural heritage.

I said: Your name is very nice.

She smiled and said: My mother started it, and my mother is also a straw weaver. Linggen is a village near the sea, where a straw weaving process originated from the Southern Song Dynasty is popular. Girls will weave a kind of grass used to make wicks into hats to make a living.

For a long time, this kind of hat was a necessity for local people to work in farmland. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Linggen straw was once very prosperous and was the main source of livelihood for the people in this village.

Later, instead of manual work, machines were woven with grass roots, which was lost.

Mr. Zheng picked up a fan and told me that our straw is not only beautiful, but what else does he have? Energetic? . Everything is there? Bones? Yes, there are people, animals and fans. When you hold it in your hand, the wind is full of backbone. This kind of fan is different from that made by machine. Handmade fans can be preserved for a hundred years.

she picked up one? Not for sale? Show me.

This handicraft has a history of more than 1 years. At present, it is still strong and durable except for a little dull color. Straw weaving is a craft, if you want to pass it on, just? Practical? Is not enough, today's material life is rich, and most people no longer pay attention to the practicality of manual output. Therefore, Mr. Zheng and others improved the straw weaving technology. Besides making straw hats and fans, they also made bags, vases, ornaments and various handicrafts. During the conversation, what Mr. Zheng said most was that he hoped that this craft learned from his ancestors could be protected. Nowadays, there are also young people born after 9 among the girls studying this craft, and she is very pleased.

On Ziyang Street, these craftsmen are very low-key. They have the indifferent and unassuming temperament cultivated by this side of the soil and water, are very satisfied and keep making progress.

5. Ziyang 99 seaweed cake, No.99 Ziyang Street.

When I passed by this store, I heard a guest saying, Why are there so few people in this store today? It's horrible to queue up at ordinary times!

I stopped. The owner of Ziyang 99 seaweed cake is Guan, and his craft is handed down from his father. His father has been in the food industry all his life. Although he did not expand the business of seaweed cake, he left many unique recipes.

after continuous exploration, adjustment and improvement, their seaweed cake business is getting better and better, and it has become the best-selling shop in Shanghai. There are often foreign friends patronizing Ziyang Street, so the boss's business has also been done in overseas countries such as the United States, the Netherlands and Japan. Foreign friends buy hundreds of them and pack them and mail them. Although his business has grown, he still keeps the price of a cookie at 1.5 yuan. Because there are many students among his guests. On holidays, it was a common scene at that time that a wanderer who left home returned to his hometown and surrounded his shop with three floors outside, and the demand was in short supply.

Seaweed cake is something from snacks to big things in Linhai. The main ingredient is seaweed, which is made into fragrant and sweet mud, and then wrapped in crispy flour and baked into a small cake. It is the best snack sold in Ziyang ancient street and a must-eat food in Ziyang street.
