Dongpo Meat

When Su Dongpo was the assassin of Hangzhou, he governed the West Lake and did a good job for the people.

After the governance of the West Lake, the surrounding fields will not be afraid of floods or drought, and this year, the wind and rain, Hangzhou, four townships of crops have a bumper harvest.

The people thanked Su Dongpo for the benefits of the West Lake, to the New Year's Eve, everyone carries pigs and wine to him to pay tribute to the New Year.

Su Dongpo received a lot of pork, told people to cut it into squares, burned red, and then governance of the West Lake according to the roster of civil workers, each family a piece of meat will be given to them for New Year's.

The people of Taiping City, the West Lake, the West Lake, the West Lake, the West Lake, the West Lake, the West Lake and the West Lake.

Peaceful years, families live a good life, this hour and see Su Dongpo sent meat, we are more happy: the old laugh, the small jump, everyone has to boast Su Dongpo is a wise parents, he sent the pork called "Dongpo meat.

At that time, there is a big restaurant in Hangzhou, restaurant owners see people are praised said "Dongpo meat", and chef discussion, the pork cut into squares, burned red crispy; hang out the sign, also named "Dongpo meat".

This new dish out, the restaurant's business is booming, from morning to night customers constantly, every day to kill ten pigs are not enough to sell it, the other restaurant bosses see red, also learn to do it, for a time, regardless of the size of the restaurant, every family has a "Dongpo meat".

Later, after the same recognized, the "Dongpo meat" as Hangzhou's first famous dish.

Su Dongpo was a man of integrity, not afraid of power, the court in the group of * ministers would have hated him.

This time to see him get the love of the people, the heart is more uncomfortable.

One of them is an imperial official, who came to Hangzhou in disguise to find fault, intending to frame Su Dongpo.

The first day he arrived in Hangzhou, he had lunch in a restaurant.

The waiter handed him a menu and asked him to order.

When he received the menu, the first item was "Dongpo Pork"!

He frowned, thought for a moment, and was so happy that he slapped the table and exclaimed, "I want this first dish!"

He ate "Dongpo meat", think the taste is really good, to the hallkeeper to ask, know "Dongpo meat" is recognized by peers of the first famous dish, so he collected all the Hangzhou restaurant menus, and went back to the capital in a hurry!

The first time I saw a restaurant in Hangzhou, I saw it.

The imperial historian returned to the capital, and immediately went to see the emperor.

He said, "Your Majesty, Su Dongpo is the assassin of Hangzhou, and he is so corrupt that he has done everything! The people hate to eat his flesh."

The emperor said, "How do you know? What is the evidence?"

The imperial historian presented the large stack of greasy menu.

The emperor was originally a fool, he took a look at the menu, indiscriminate, immediately passed down the imperial decree, Su Dongpo off the job, far from being sent to Hainan to fill the army.

Su Dongpo was transferred to the army, the people of Hangzhou can not forget his benefits, still like the past as praise him.

In this way, "Dongpo meat" has been passed down from generation to generation, and until today, it is still a famous dish in Hangzhou.

The Flying Peak

Legend has it that there was a flying peak on Mount Emei in Sichuan.

It flew to the east for a while, and flew to the west for a while; wherever it flew, it crushed many houses and killed many people.

At that time, there was a monk in Lingyin Temple in West Lake, because he was crazy all day long, and did not abide by the clear rules of Buddhism, so people called him a crazy monk.

One day, the crazy monk learned that at noon, the strange flying mountain will fly down to the village in front of the Lingyin Temple.

He was worried that the mountain would fall down and kill many people, so he got up at five o'clock, ran into the village, and went from door to door, telling: "Today at noon there is a mountain that will fly to the village, everyone quickly move ah, late it will be too late!"

The old man shook his head and said, "Crazy monk, you're having fun again, the mountain is a top-heavy thing.

The old man sighed and said, "We are poor tenants, where to move! If a mountain really falls down, we will have to blame our fate if we are crushed."

The boy grunted: "Don't make up lies to scare people! The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was a very good time to be a kid.

The children followed him, gesticulating and watching.

The crazy monk went in and out of this house, and took care of all the houses in the village.

He said the lips broken, spittle dry, but no one believed his words, and no family ready to move.

The sun rises higher and higher, the noon is about to arrive, the crazy monk anxious round and round.

At this time, he suddenly heard "the beat, the beat" blowing the sound of the suona, and quickly followed the sound to run over.

At first glance, it turned out that there was a family wedding, and people were coming in and out of the house, and it was very lively.

The crazy monk scratched his scalp to think about it, and pushed away from the crowd, drilling to the front of the hall, regardless of the three seventy-twenty-one, the bride to the shoulders of a back, snatched out the door to the outside of the village to run.

The bride's head of the red scarf has not been uncovered, suddenly confused to call people back to run, do not know what happened, only scared wow.

Crazy monks robbed the bride, this is not good enough! People grabbed the door latch grabbed the door latch, swinging the swinging of the stretcher, swinging the hoe swinging the hoe, lifting the nail rake lifting the nail rake, and chased up.

One side of the chase, one side shouted:

"Catch the crazy monk!"

"Front quickly stop ah, do not let him escape!"

This time, the whole to be all coaxed.

It doesn't matter if it's a relative or not, a friend or not, male, female, old, young, the whole village chased out.

Only the east of the village, a rich man did not move, but instead stood in front of the door to see the fun, talk about sarcasm:

"The monk robbed the new bride, really a new thing, hee hee!"

He ran really fast! We have been chasing him for more than ten miles, but we have not yet caught up with him.

Waiting for the sun, the crazy monk stood still, not running.

He put down the bride from his back, himself to the ground one, shaking the fan fan cool.

People rushed to his front, just want to grab and hit him, but I did not expect a flash of darkness, can not see five fingers, the wind blew whistling.

Suddenly "rumble", people were shocked to fall, we climbed up to see, the wind has stopped clouds, the sun just shone overhead, but see a mountain just fell on their village.

People then realized: the crazy monk robbed the bride, in order to save everyone's life.

The village was crushed under the mountain and everyone was left homeless.

Some people were so anxious that they beat their chests and cried out.

The mad monk said, "What are you crying for! You do not know, the village rich man has been crushed to death at the bottom of the mountain, in the future, each of you plant their own fields, still afraid of building houses!

The people were so happy that they wanted to go away, but the crazy monk spoke again: "Don't go, don't go, listen to me, since this mountain can fly from somewhere else, it will fly away from here; it will fly to somewhere else, and it will kill a lot of people's lifeblood.

We chiseled 500 stone Luohan on the mountain, so we can keep the mountain in check, and prevent it from flying to other places to harm people, do you think it's good?"

We heard, all said yes, immediately started to hammer the hammer, chisel chisel, "Ding Ding Dang" busy night, five hundred stone Luohan chiseled all, the mountain is covered with stone niches under the statue of Buddha.

Only chiseled Lohan's body, but too late to chisel out the eyebrows and eyes.

The mad monk said, "I have an idea, let me!" He didn't use a hammer, he used a chisel, he just used his long fingernails to scratch the face of the stone luohan.

In half a day's work, the five hundred stone Luohan are all on the eyes.

From then on, this small peak can no longer fly to other places, always stay in front of the Lingyin Temple! Because it flew from somewhere else, it was called "Flying Peak."

Kangxi plaque

Kangxi Emperor down south, came to Hangzhou.

He traveled around the West Lake, poems and inscriptions, claiming to be a flamboyant emperor.

One day, he was going to Lingyin to play.

Lingyin Temple, the old monk learned the news, really surprised and happy, and quickly hit the bells and drums, the whole temple more than 300 monks are called together.

The monks put on a brand new robe, head of sandalwood incense, hand knocking the magic weapon, mouth reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha, everyone followed the old monk, rushed three miles away from the stone lotus pavilion, the Kangxi Emperor received Lingyin to.

The old monk accompanied Emperor Kangxi, before and after the temple, mountain and mountain tour.

Emperor Kangxi saw Lingyin has high peaks, clear spring water, the mountains are full of green trees, the ground is full of red flowers, really a good place! He was happy, he ordered in the temple set up a banquet.

The emperor set up a banquet, can be lively! Blowing blowing, playing, singing, singing, a moment of this Buddhist net, but turned into the emperor's home! Kangxi Emperor a hand flicked goat beard, a hand holding the wine, and pouring yellow soup and poetry.

The old monk has heard that Emperor Kangxi likes to recite poems and inscriptions.

At this point, seeing his head shaking, he went to the magistrate who followed Emperor Kangxi to discuss: "My lord, I would like to ask the emperor to inscribe a plaque for the mountain temple, do you think it is possible?"

The governor of Hangzhou said: "Good, good, if the emperor to you Lingyin Temple inscription plaque, even my entire Hangzhou Province are stained light!"

Qiantang magistrate also picked up: "His Majesty is in the mood for wine.

You're going to ask him for a plaque this time of year, and I think he's going to say yes."

The old monk's heart fell solid, it is bold, walked to the Kangxi Emperor kneeling in front of kowtow:

"Emperor ah, see in the Lingyin Temple, the Buddha face, for the mountain temple inscription piece of plaque, but also let us shine it!"

The old monk's request just scratched the itch of Emperor Kangxi.

He nodded, grabbed the pen brush a few times, and wrote a crooked "rain" character.

This time, he has been drunk, wrist a little shaky, pen and too fast some, this "rain" word actually accounted for most of the paper! Lingyin Temple's "spirit" word, according to the old way of writing, in the "rain" below there are three "mouth" and a "witch" it! Now there's only half a sheet of paper left! Now there is only this small half of the paper position, with how you can not be placed.

Write a new one, how embarrassing it is! The Kangxi Emperor grasped the pen with one hand, and one hand could not stop flicking his handful of goat whiskers, but there was no way out.

Around the side of the officials, know that the Kangxi Emperor can not get down, but no one dares to say, only to stand next to the dry anxious.

Fortunately, there is a university scholar named Gao Jiangcun, came up with a way, he first wrote in the palm of his hand, "Yunlin" two words, and then pretended to grind ink, close to the side of the Kangxi Emperor, secretly spread his palm.

The Kangxi Emperor looked, oops, these two words really save the King Bodhisattva it! Do not realize that half of the wine woke up, then sparingly write down the "Yunlin Zen Temple" four big words.

After writing, the hand raised, the brush thrown far away.

The old monk over Zhang Zhang, not right ah! How to write "Lingyin Temple" as "Yunlin Zen Temple"? He did not look at the wind color, stammered in the question:

"We are here called 'Lingyin Temple', not called 'Yunlin Temple' ah! Is not the emperor wrote wrong?"

Emperor Kangxi heard, put his eyes a glare, drink: "more mouth!" The old monk where still dare to speak again, can only respectfully stand next to it.

Emperor Kangxi turned back to the officials and asked:

"This place has clouds in the sky and forests under the ground, tell me, is it right to call it 'Cloud Forest Temple'?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is wise!"

......

Listening to the officials flattered him, Emperor Kangxi was happy to laugh, then ordered the plaque carved up and hung.

The emperor said, the officials are busy.

They called on one side of the original Lingyin Temple plaque change down, one side to find the carver, the Kangxi Emperor wrote the "Yunlin Zen Temple" four words carved in mahogany, gold bottom, black lacquer words, two dragons playing beads on the edge of the door to hang on the spot.

From then on, Lingyin Temple is hung with the name of "Yunlin Zen Temple" plaque.

However, the people of Hangzhou did not sell his account, although the "Yunlin Zen Temple" this plaque has been hanging for three hundred years, we still call it "Lingyin Temple".

Song Sister-in-law fish

Once upon a time, in the West Lake Broken Bridge, there was a lonely single thatched cottage.

The man of the house, Song Wu, died long ago, leaving only his wife, Song Wu, and a little brother of 12 or 13 years old.

Song Fifth Sister-in-law, young, handsome, after the death of her husband, the townspeople often persuade her to remarry, she was afraid that the little uncle has no one to take care of, they politely declined.

Song five sister-in-law always remembered the words of her husband when he died, must be the little uncle to raise up.

Usually, she treats him like a brother, and always lets him eat first; she can't afford to buy new clothes, so she sews the old ones left by her husband, so that he can wear them warmly and comfortably.

They are also very good at helping their sister-in-law, and they have been very helpful.

Song Wu's wife is very hardworking, and every day before dawn, she takes her brother-in-law, rows an old fishing boat, and goes to the West Lake to catch fish and shrimp.

The fish and shrimp were caught, and then exchanged for some rice and salt, and lived a hard life.

Once, because of the age of the young uncle, can not stand the wind and rain on the lake, suddenly sick, and very sick, which can be Song five sister-in-law anxious.

Inside and outside only one person, and to fish, and to ask the doctor, and to fry medicine, really busy to change the breath.

Thanks to the careful care of Mrs. Song's fifth wife, Xiaojie's illness finally got better.

But he was very weak after the illness, and his appetite was not open at all.

One day, Mrs. Song called in a net of good fish.

She put a freshly caught grass carp in the tank.

She took the rest of the fish and sold them in the market.

Along the way, she thought about how to make the fresh fish in the house more delicious, and also to make the uncle open his appetite.

She remembered that when she was a child, she heard the old man say that sugar and vinegar can be appetizing, so she took the idea of using sugar and vinegar to cook fish.

Song Wu's wife sold the fish, bought the ingredients on the street, and returned home to boil the water while saying to Xiaojun, "Today, I'm going to make you a bowl of good food.

The first time I saw this, I was able to get a good look at it, and I was able to get a good look at it, and I was able to get a good look at it.

Song Wu's wife said, "Today, I use a special way of cooking, you will know when you eat it."

Song five sister-in-law and other water, will be kept in the tank of a grass carp, live kill dissected clean, in the boiling water a blanch, in a bowl.

And take out their own made of lotus root powder, with sugar and vinegar, burned into a soup material, poured on the cooked fish.

Then, this steaming bowl of fish, sent to the little uncle.

She took her chopsticks and dipped a piece into the sweet and sour soup and gave it to her brother-in-law to eat.

When he smelled the fish, not only did it not smell fishy, but it also smelled very good.

A taste, a little sweet, a little sour, and especially tender.

He grabbed the chopsticks, took the fish bowl and said, "Sister-in-law, this fish is really delicious, this fish is really delicious!" At first, he ate it one chopstick at a time, but later he put it into his mouth in large chunks.

For several days in a row, Mrs. Song left a live grass carp every day, and burned the fish with vinegar for Uncle Xiao to eat.

The youngest uncle's appetite has increased, and his body is getting better quickly, and he is helping his wife to hunt for fish in the West Lake again.

Nearby fishermen heard that Mrs. Song's brother-in-law ate her vinegar fish, and his appetite immediately improved, and his body was healthy, so they all came to ask Mrs. Song for advice, and went back to burn this kind of fish to eat.

Because this dish is Song Wu Sister-in-law love and cherish the little uncle, the first burned out, people call it "Song Sister-in-law fish".

Song five sister-in-law saw that everyone likes to eat vinegar fish, and accumulated some money, and the little uncle to discuss, in the hut to open a small store, selling vinegar fish to.

Sure enough, you come and go, business is good.

"Broken Bridge Song Sister-in-law fish", a moment spread as a beautiful story.

In the spring of this year, the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty traveled on the West Lake by dragon boat for fun.

Suddenly a warm wind blew, from the Broken Bridge over there floated a sweet and sour flavor.

The emperor has never smelled this scent, the heart of the good strange, busy asking the left and right: "What is this scent ah?"

Many people can not answer, there is a local official said: "Your Majesty, this is the broken bridge side of the famous song five sister-in-law selling vinegar fish flavor miles!

The emperor listened to the heart, busy said: "Good, since this is so famous, I would like to go to get to know her."

The emperor took advantage of a moment of happiness, take off the dragon robe, change into civilian clothes, with eunuchs in a small boat all the way to the broken bridge.

Once on shore, looked up to see Song Wu Sister-in-law wearing a rough blue cloth clothes, a picture of the fisherman's women's dress, full of spring in the store to entertain customers.

The emperor saw and praised "wonderful", busy walked up and said: "I heard that the flavor of the vinegar fish is very beautiful, I did not expect you Song Wu sister-in-law's appearance is more beautiful.

Today, I saw, and it is true."

Song fifth sister-in-law see come are not good, then put down the face not to answer him.

The emperor originally did not want to reveal his identity, and now see Song Wu Sister-in-law like this, the heart is anxious, then upside down, said: "beauty ah, this is not necessary! Why bother ...... uh! Why bother to burn the fish here! ...... Not worthy, not worthy, uh! Or go with the widow into the palace to be worthy of heh."

"Widow" two words out of the mouth, Song five sister-in-law will know that the person standing in front of is that the emperor, the heart is even more angry, but is not good to offend him, only to turn the corner and say: "The palace is a blessed person to live in, I'm a fisherman, there is no such blessing, a leave the thatched hut must be I'm a fisherman, I don't have this fortune.

I have long made up my mind to live here for the rest of my life."

The emperor saw Song Wu's wife's articulation is lively, really not too good to deal with, so he smiled and changed his mind and said, "That's fine! Now take you on the dragon boat to burn a bowl of vinegar fish, let the widow taste new it.

In the future, your beautiful name, I'm afraid that even the broken bridge should be pressed to break it!"

Song Fifth Sister-in-law saw the emperor had such a deadbeat, could not help but two willow eyebrows erected, said: "Dragon boat is difficult to carry me to sell fish women, you Emperor do not want to go this broken bridge road! Do not see the Jin soldiers come, the river and mountains have been broken, you Emperor or more to think about the Central Plains of the fathers and mothers it."

This is all true, and the emperor is recognized as Song Wu sister-in-law in the intention to dig at him, suddenly angry face, scolded: "good a wanton diao woman!" Then he hurriedly got off the boat with the eunuch and went back to the dragon boat.

Song Fifth Sister-in-law saw the emperor huffing and puffing away, know that the fate of a lot of bad luck, they hurriedly pack up some things, with a little uncle, from the back door slipped out of the boat, across the boat, double oar swing, far away from the sea la.

When the emperor sent soldiers to catch people, Song Wu's wife has long been without a trace.

From then on, Song Wu Sister-in-law and her brother-in-law changed their names, hidden in other villages, and never showed up again.

People who came to the Broken Bridge to eat "Sister Song's Fish" saw the broken huts and collapsed stoves, so they had to go back.

Later, the Lushan Mountain area learned to burn "Song Sister-in-law fish" craft of fishermen, some people also look at Song Wu Sister-in-law like, open a small store to sell vinegar fish, but they are afraid of offending the emperor, do not dare to say "Song Sister-in-law fish", only hang a "" West Lake Vinegar Fish "

The First Spring of Wushan

A long time ago, there was no well in Hangzhou.

At that time, the rainfall in this area was very even, and there was no shortage of water in every household.

Unexpectedly, one year, the weather suddenly changed: a clear sky without clouds, for several months without a drop of rain.

The water in the lake was dry, the fields were cracked, and it was hard to find water for human consumption.

The government was afraid that the people would make trouble, so they invited many monks and priests to build an altar to do things; and they told everyone to go and bow and kneel.

At that time, an old man was also driven here; however, he refused to kneel.

The officials were so angry that they arrested him and charged him with "disobeying the government" and wanted to kill his head.

The old man did not panic at all, but looked up to the sky and laughed, saying:

"I have lived 80 years, death is not worth anything! If you give me three days, I will find water."

The official listened to the old man said so, thought: is there really such a thing! Give him to find it or not: find it, everything is fine; not find, and then kill his head is not too late.

Then he agreed.

The old man returned home, called his fifty-year-old son, and said, "Go bind a bamboo sedan chair for me to sit in!"

"Abba, Abba, what are you doing in a sedan chair?"

"I'm old, I can't walk anymore, so I'm going to look for water outside in the bamboo sedan chair!" The son tied up the bamboo sedan chair.

The old man turned into the vegetable garden, called his twenty-year-old grandson, and said, "Go get two bamboo bars to carry me away!"

"Grandpa, grandpa, where are you going to carry me?"

"Stand tall and see far, you and your Abba, carry me around to the city wall!"

The grandson brought the bamboo bar.

The two children and grandchildren carried the old man and circled around on top of the Hangzhou city wall.

Three times in one day, nine times in three days.

The bamboo sedan chair went around for three days, and the old man looked at it for nine times.

He found at the foot of the City God Mountain, there is a smoke is not like smoke, fog is not like fog things, constantly upward, constantly upward, up to the sky into a white sparkling clouds, his children and grandchildren, said:

"that white cloud under the smoke is the place of the dragon vein ah, there is a dragon in the ground breathing it. "

The old man got many people to dig a well at the foot of Shing Wong Shan.

Digging, digging, digging down three feet deep, but the bottom of the well, not a drop of water! The official looked at the well dry, not to say, on the old man killed!

The two children and grandchildren cried a lot and buried the old man's body.

The grandson, with tears in his eyes, helped his father, and still climbed to the city wall to go around in circles.

Around and around, and around three days; see and see, and see nine times.

They saw the well dug at the foot of the City God Mountain, the smoke is thicker, the sky that the white flashing clouds are also bigger.

Abba pointed to the clouds and said to his son:

"The place where the smoke comes out from underneath the white clouds is really the Dragon Vein.

They got many more people and continued to dig down where they had dug a well at the foot of Shing Wong Shan.

They dug and dug and dug, and dug down three feet and three feet deep, but there was still not a drop of water at the bottom of the well! When the government found out about this, they killed the old man's son without asking any questions.

The grandson cried out and buried Abba's body next to his grandfather's mound.

Left alone and forlorn, he still climbed up to the city wall and circled around like his grandfather and Abba.

He went around and around for three more days, and he looked and looked and looked nine more times.

He saw that the smoke under the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and the white shining clouds in the sky were getting bigger and bigger.

The grandson pointed to the clouds and said to himself, "The place where the smoke is coming out from underneath that white cloud must be the Dragon Vein, Grandpa, Abba, you died in vain!"

He went to get many more people, still at the foot of Shing Wong Shan that old place where the well had been dug, digging down one after another.

Digging and digging and digging, and then digging down three feet deep, digging to the bottom of all the bulging rocks, no longer digging.

Sun Zi in nine feet nine feet deep at the bottom of the well, east touch is dry, west touch is dry, a touch a big round bulging rock, like a dragon's eyes.

He put his heart across and shouted:

"Dragon, dragon, why don't you open your eyes! The sky does not rain, the ground does not release water, how do you tell everyone to live, today I will fight with you. The first time I saw this, I was able to see the whole thing, and I was able to see the whole thing, and I was able to see the whole thing.

Just hear "rumble" a loud noise, the rock cracked a seam, the seam bubbling out of the water, in a moment, the nine feet nine feet deep well filled with water.

The cleansing water of the well lifted the grandson up to the mouth of the well; but he was already dead.

The people wept and buried the body of their grandson beside the graves of his grandfather and his father.

Ever since the well came into being, the people have had no fear of running out of water.

Later, people went around digging wells as usual, and gradually, more and more wells were dug in Hangzhou.

But the wells that were dug later were never bigger or deeper than the first ones.

Therefore, people called it "the first spring of Wushan", and also called the alley at the foot of Chenghuangshan "Big Well Alley".
