Do you still remember Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake?

Only when the cattail grass is as tough as silk, the rock cannot shift, the mountain has no edges, and the heaven and earth are harmonious can I dare to be separated from you.

Emperor Qianlong heard about the picturesque scenery of Jinan, Shandong, with beautiful women like clouds and beautiful legs like forests, so he moved to Jinan, which is "surrounded by lotus flowers and three sides by willows, with one city full of mountains and half a city of lakes."

Looking at the willows lining the bank, the lotuses and greenery, the elegant pavilions and pavilions, the weeping willows, the gentle breeze, the pavilions and pavilions dotted among them, the shadows of people are shining, looking for the footprints of beautiful women everywhere.

Along the winding path to the Lotus Root Temple, Qianlong asked: "Heshen, do you know which beauty is enshrined here?"

Heshen hurried forward and said, "Qi Your Majesty, the lotus flower god Li Qingzhao is enshrined here."

"Is this the drunk Li Qingzhao who strayed into the depths of the lotus flower, fought for the crossing, and stirred up a group of gulls and herons? "

"Your Majesty, it's her, it's her," He Shen said flatteringly.

"Well, yes, Shandong indeed produces beauties and talented women. I'm here to meet you this time." Yes, hahaha," Emperor Qianlong said proudly while waving his folding fan

"Liu Yong, do you know where the Lotus Root Temple is located in Daming Lake?"

Liu Yong patted himself and looked. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Lotus Root Shrine is located on the north bank of Daming Lake, south of Huibo Tower. It is an independent courtyard with white walls, covered with small green tiles, and circular fan-shaped squares on the walls. In the window courtyard, the pebbles pave the ground and the green shadows of bamboo are very elegant. Behind the lotus root god is the hand-painted scenery of Daming Lake. "

"Okay, let's continue walking..."

"Cha"

After coming out of the Lotus Root Temple, turn right and go up to the second floor to Mingchang Pavilion. What comes into view is a large ancient clock with a simple atmosphere. Emperor Qianlong asked again, "This is it?"

Just when Liu Yong was about to answer, He Shen was the first to say, "Your Majesty, this is the first bell in Qilu and one of the ten scenic spots of Daming Lake. In the midsummer, the rich bells of Mingchang Bell and the sound of frogs are the most beautiful." Silence, a sharp contrast between the chirping and the stillness, is a major feature of Daming Lake. "There is a chiming bell and a quiet frog." After He Shen finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Liu Yong and raised the corners of his mouth.

Liu Yong remained calm and pretended not to see it.

"After walking all this way, I am very thirsty. Let me serve you some tea." After saying this, Qianlong sat down on the wooden chair in the pavilion. While shaking the folding fan, I looked at the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake. The green willows on the shore are shady and graceful. The blue waves in the lake are rippling, the lotus flowers are like brocade, the boats are crossing the water, the painting studio is moving slowly, and the pavilions and pavilions are looming in the middle, which looks like a flower. A large three-dimensional painting.

I couldn’t help but close my fan and clapped my hands and sighed: "Good scene, Liu Yong wrote Daming Lake into the "Licheng County Chronicles, Landscape Examination Four""

"Wei ministers obey the order," Liu Yong stood up and said

"Your Majesty, please have some tea," the little eunuch kneeled down while holding the tea.

Emperor Qianlong took the tea, opened the lid and the fragrance immediately overflowed. He took a sip and said, "Good tea. What kind of tea is this? Why have I never tasted it before? "

"Your Majesty, this is tea from Rizhao, Shandong, and it is brewed with the natural spring water of Baotu Spring. Excellent!" He Shen said quickly.

"Okay, Baotu Spring is the best spring in the world."

After having tea, the group came to the bank of Daming Lake and saw lotus flowers and the water surface after the rain. The water vapor curls up and thin layers of fairy mist form a wonderful fairyland among the carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions.

Not far away, a woman in white clothes holding a fan in hand loomed in front of everyone. This woman was wrapped in a pale pink dress and covered with a white gauze dress, revealing her graceful neck and The collarbone is clearly visible, and the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight flowing to the ground. It stretches more than three feet, making the gait more graceful and soft. Three thousand blue silk hair is tied up with a hairband, a butterfly hairpin is inserted in the head, and a strand of green silk hanging down. On the chest, a thin application of powder only adds color, and the looming redness on the cheeks creates a pure skin as delicate and lovely as petals. The whole person is like a butterfly flying in the wind, and like clear and transparent ice and snow. It has an air of lightness.

Emperor Qianlong forgot to shake the folding fan in his hand, and hurriedly walked forward, "May I ask the girl her name?"

Looking up close, she looked even more elegant and refined, with delicate skin and a leisurely demeanor. , her beautiful eyes are looking forward to you, her rosy cheeks are smiling, her red lips are slightly parted, and she gives a slight salute:

"The little girl's surname is Xia, and her name is Yuhe"

"Xia Yuhe, as expected, she lives up to her name. !" Emperor Qianlong said while thinking, "How can I chat with this beauty and have a meal?" So Qianlong said, "Does the girl know where to find delicious food?" After that, he added, "I have been traveling all morning." I'm hungry too..."

Yu He smiled and said, "My home is not far away. If you don't mind, please come to my home."

Qianlong Dayue said "How can I dislike it? I'm disturbing the girl."

Yu He smiled slightly and said, "Follow me"

This smile can make a country fall! Natural beauty, unlike those daughters in the harem who smiled so fakely that Qianlong was almost stunned.

Come to the Yuhe Pavilion in the hall surrounded by water lotuses, red pillars and green tiles, and the cloister of the building.

Seeing Yuhe, he speaks elegantly, is elegant, well-informed and sensible. They talked about the scenery before their eyes, played music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and wrote poems and articles. They were very in tune with each other. It was so late to meet each other. It turned out that Yuhe was a lady from a scholarly family living by the lake.

Soon the dining table was filled with meals, snacks and fruits, and the group sat down.

Qianlong pointed to a plate of dishes and asked, "Miss Yuhe, what kind of dish is this? It's so strange?"

Yuhe smiled and said, "Sir, you don't know something. This is authentic." Shandong style, pancakes rolled with green onions are made from wheat, millet, sorghum, sweet potatoes, corn and other grains in a certain proportion, ground into a paste, and processed into coarse grains. The pancakes are tough and as thin as cicada wings. The thickness is uniform and easy to preserve. When dipped in miso, the spicy and sweet sauce tastes great.

This green onion is a specialty of Zhangqiu. It is characterized by its tall, long, crisp, and sweet stems. Thick, white and plump green onions, crisp and tender, mildly spicy and slightly sweet." Yu He paused and continued:

"And Shandong's dishes are inseparable from green onions. This is sea cucumber roasted with green onions. , Braised tendons with green onions, roasted pork with green onions, and grilled fish lips with green onions are all based on Zhangqiu’s green onions!”

“Yeah, not bad, both delicious and delicious”

Suddenly Qianlong's eyes were attracted by the chicken that the maid had just brought up. He saw that the whole chicken was in the shape of lying feathers, beautiful in shape, lifelike, bright in color, golden and red, and felt crystal clear and luxurious.

Yuhe was so smart that he didn’t wait for Emperor Qianlong to ask and explained, “This is Dezhou Braised Chicken, which is known as one of the wonders of China. It is characterized by crispy bones, tender meat, soft, fragrant and not greasy. In addition, The beer in Qingdao is even more delicious."

When you put it in your mouth with chopsticks, Qianlong has a mellow aroma, a strong flavor that lasts a long time, a unique taste, moderate saltiness, fragrant but not greasy, and is cooked off the bone. I took another sip of Tsingtao beer, which was cold and refreshing.

Immediately Long Yan was overjoyed: "He Shen, please recruit the craftsmen who make the braised chicken into the imperial dining room tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You, you are the emperor? I don't know this, but I hope the emperor will forgive me." Surprised, Yu He quickly knelt down to pay homage to the True Dragon Emperor.

"Hahaha, he who doesn't know is not guilty, get up quickly" Qianlong said and came over to help Yu He on the ground to get up.

Yuhe's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, which made Qianlong even more happy.

After dinner, the maid brought some more apples, but the strange thing was that these apples were divided into three colors: red, yellow, and green.

"Yu He, can you help me clarify my doubts?"

Yu He calmed down and explained, "These are Yantai apples. The big red ones are Red Fuji. It is characterized by its large fruit shape, rich red color, and overflowing fragrance. The light green one is green banana, which has a very high sugar content and is as sweet as glutinous rice. The red banana is beautiful in color and has thin flesh, which is lovely. The fruit is golden in color. , crisp and delicious. ”

“I didn’t expect that Shandong not only has beautiful scenery, but also has such delicious food and delicious fruits, and is also accompanied by beautiful women. It is really a blessing. This trip is not in vain.”

Then he spread the folding fan he carried with him on his desk, dipped his pen in ink, smeared it with thick ink, outlined and dyed it, and drew a "picture of mist and rain" on the fan and wrote a poem:

After the Rain The lotus flowers bear the dew, and the spring scenery in the city reflects the morning sun.

The scenery on Daming Lake is good, and the Taiyue Peak is high and the mountains are long.
