In addition to being a food column, Chinese restaurants also promote local tourism promotion wherever they go. This trip to the Three Gorges also recommends a new travel route to everyone.
Restaurant Episode 3, what do you pay attention to when looking at a Chinese restaurant?
Is it the cultural scenery of the Tujia people in the Three Gorges area?
Is this a collection of food photos of the little fat guy at the last table who hasn’t yet been served?
Or did Zhao Liying get upset after eating the peach that Chef Lin was reluctant to throw away?
The heavy rain the day before was replaced by clear skies the next day, with blue sky, white clouds, turquoise river water, Three Gorges houses on the shore, white walls, blue tiles, and people in the small town in the early morning The comfort moves celebrities and ordinary people alike.
The stilted building is located close to the mountains and rivers, with smoke rising from the roof. In the stream in front of the door, ducks and geese are playing, there are countless small animals on the bluestone slabs, and countless white birds are flying in the river. On the big stone by the stream, the girl from the mountains beat her clothes and sang a passionate love song. The beat on the stone slab made a clear and sweet sound.
Diaojiaolou is an invention of the Tujia people and a living fossil of Bachu culture. The Tujia people live in the steep mountains. Their wooden houses are built according to the mountains, and bamboo and banana trees are clustered in front and behind their houses.
When encountering high terrain, it is necessary to erect pillars or build walls in order to be level with the main house and match the eaves, so it is called a stilted building. There are large and small stilted buildings. There are winding corridors on the upper floors. The corridor is also equipped with railings, which makes people marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. The team continued to divide into two groups, and what we wanted to explore today was the true Tujia culture.
China’s terrain is divided into three steps from west to east, from high to low, and the junction of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is located on the eastern edge of the middle section of the second step and the middle section of the third step. The western edge of the country is surrounded by mountains and ridges, with dangerous gorges and rapids in ancient times. The land is remote and the people are poor, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
By the river in the deepest part of the mountains, there is a Chinese restaurant here. The people here live a life like a peach blossom garden. The Bachu culture here has also written a splendid chapter in the history of Chinese culture. One page.
Let us follow Chef Lin and Chef Zhang to purchase ingredients, Xiao Mingge and Haofei distribute promotions and invite guests to have a brief understanding.
On the cruise ship, while Zhao Liying was guarding the store, she mistakenly ate a rotten yellow peach that Chef Lin was reluctant to throw away, which made her hungry and resulted in countless melon-eating people.
The Three Gorges family is the life of the Tujia people. The so-called people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water. People living by the stream - Longjinxi, people on the mountain - Bawang Village, people living on the water - along the river.
Anbian Chef Lin and Chef Zhang talked about buying groceries, but they couldn’t help but walked around secretly as the beautiful scenery called them. The ancient town naturally has its own cultural atmosphere, because it is located near the river. , the terrain is dangerous, and a house of a family often has three or four levels, like steps. When you step into a house on the mountain, a few steps will lead people into a primitive and simple world.
When I walked to a calligraphy and painting shop, I couldn't help but be impressed by the essence of Chinese calligraphy for thousands of years. I asked the old man to write down a few big characters for the Chinese restaurant to hang in the restaurant to show the culture of the Three Gorges.
I couldn’t help but stop when I passed by a stall selling folding fans. Chef Lin mentioned that tourist attractions are for consumption. In fact, he just wanted to help the local people. The culture of art is not offset by the temptation of ingredients, but I can't help but be shocked when I see Ganoderma lucidum costing 30 yuan per pound.
Chef Zhang asked about the plants he encountered on the roadside, and Chef Lin also answered fluently, such as the oleifera vine.
Along the way there are Tujia cultural leaf flute performances, cast-iron performances, and hot stoves that train the men who are noisy and sing to attract marriage.
In a small pavilion on the top of a mountain in the distance, a man in flowing white clothes plays a melodious flute, expressing his infinite respect for the Yangtze River and admiration for the beauty of the scenery.
Finally, we took the 600-meter-long cableway to the top of the mountain and looked at the roaring river below. The Chinese restaurant boat was not far away.
Brother Xiao Ming and Hao Fei were also walking and shopping, and once again arrived at Bawang Village, which had not been visited due to heavy rain the day before. Suddenly, a group of people holding flags appeared in front of them, as if they were coming from the old times, from the road that used to be The glorious ancient tea and salt road.
The Tea and Salt Ancient Road runs through Bawangzhai and links the Bashu Ancient Road. Although it has been renovated, Bawangzhai still vaguely reproduces to the modern world the prosperity of the Three Gorges people and the old life of the Ba people. The passing years This special and unique traffic culture has been left behind. In the flash of memories, I can see the bustling crowds, bustling shops, and merchants coming and going.
The unique Wudu of the Three Gorges people came from 2,700 years ago. It looks a bit like the well-known Xun, a small blue and white porcelain jar with several holes in it, made by the rise and fall of the fingers. Brother Xiao Ming learned to control the tune seriously, and he was able to play the tune of two tigers in just a few strokes, but the musician played it more profoundly and fascinatingly.
On the road, I met an artistic barber who looked exactly like Zhang Fei. He used an ancient chair to cut people's hair.
On the bluestone steps not far away, Brother Xiao Ming’s Bachu Four Beauties were singing loudly. The four beauties were all wearing their own clothes of the Tujia people, which were extremely gorgeous. The Tujia people’s costumes were simple and practical, and generally more beautiful. Loose and simple in style, the details are indispensable for color and perfection. The clothes and trousers are relatively short and loose, with large cuffs and trouser legs.
Men, women and children all wear the same collarless piping-front cardigan. The hem and collar are embroidered with patterns, and the embroidery work is wonderful.
The patterns on the sleeves and trouser legs of the clothing are made using cross-stitching. The small crosses on the cloth are somewhat similar to today’s cross-stitch, and are then connected into lines or squares, or combined into patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. .
The colors are mostly green, red, and yellow. The rich patterns and bright colors make the clothes look not dull at all, giving people a sense of beauty. These exquisite costumes prove the wisdom of the Tujia people. , is a treasure of national costumes.
As for Sanyin Ge, also known as Xingshan Famous Song, a living fossil of Bachu culture, Brother Xiaoming also tried a Tujia backpack and carried Haofei on his back.
After walking home, I have to work hard to prepare dinner. As the sun sets, at night, there are ten tables full of people, but they just have to wait for the cursed table No. 2. The reason is that I saw the kitchen You know, the casserole I bought on the first day was fried three times in a row after it was ready, which took a long time.
Chef Zhang wanted to change to a bowl in desperation, but Chef Lin came from the catering industry after all, and strictly required himself to serve it in a casserole. Fortunately, the fourth one was not fried again, which was fine. On the table.
The highlight was the little fat guy at the last table who was waiting for food. He was so hungry that he drank yogurt and ate chili to satisfy his hunger.
From the moment the first fried rice was served, a few big spoonfuls of it were served. , until the last bit is left, scoop it into a bowl,
Even the vegetables must be dipped in the soup to taste, and the various emoticons have become the highlight of this episode.
What I want to mention more is the special guests of this issue. They are a group of volunteers picking up garbage on the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges ant workers. If everyone comes to collect firewood, the flames will be high, and everyone can only contribute their own. With the meager power of ants, although everyone together did not achieve great achievements, they also accomplished indelible things.
I would like to appeal to people traveling here, whether it is short distance or self-driving, to take their own garbage with them and not litter everywhere. This is a good habit for civilized travel. More and more people are realizing this. The earth is the home we depend on for survival. When we take good care of it, the volunteers who pick up garbage no longer need to be exposed to the wind and the sun.
After dinner, all the guests were sent away with a dance, and everyone also made their own hot pot, which immediately relieved the fatigue of the whole day.
The Three Gorges Family is a national 5A scenic spot and an important scenic spot in Yichang City. If you take the waterway, you can reach the scenic spot by passing the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Pier, passing the Sanyou Cave, and crossing the Xiling Gorge.
This time the mobile Chinese restaurant went down the river, so it finally arrived in Yichang City and started the second stop of the food tour.
In addition to food, travel also has beautiful scenery. Traveling is not only about being in it, but only in order to experience it all, rather than just looking around, taking pictures and checking in. What cannot be taken away are the people and things during the trip, and those points. Every little bit can stay in the heart forever.
