I went to Shangluo to participate in an event two days ago. I had the opportunity to go to Manchuan Ancient Town in Shanyang and taste the eight major items of Manchuan.

Manchuan Ancient Town is located in Shanyang County, Shangluo City, bordering Shangjin Town, Yunxi County, Hubei Province to the south. It is located at the beginning of Qin and the end of Chu. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

This place does not charge entrance fees, and there are not many tourists even on weekends.

Millet crispy rice is 10 yuan per pound. There is a frying pan on the side. It seems to be processed on site. The eldest sister handed me a piece to taste. It was crispy and crispy.

These cotton slippers look very festive.

Wild kudzu is 10 yuan per bag. The lady who sells it said that it is dug from the mountains and has been brewed. It is good to drink in water.

There is a bacon seller on the old street, and the price is about 45 per pound.

They process these pickles themselves, including pickled sour cowpeas, radish, bamboo shoots and peppers, as well as home-made bean curd and tempeh. Prices range from 10 to 20.

Most tourists will buy some to take home when they come. I wanted to buy some too, but I stopped when I wanted to go out with a group and go to the next attraction.

I happened to see my aunt making sour radish and asked for advice on how to make it. I planned to try it when I got home.

This is the inn where merchants from the north and south stayed and scholars from the south who came to Beijing to take exams stayed.

When the store was serving the dishes, he asked him what the eight major items included. He said they were four soup bowls and four cold dishes. He was too busy to ask further. I took pictures in the order in which he served the dishes. These are fried sweet potato meatballs.

This is called a spatula ball, and there are side dishes such as beans in it.

What kind of dish is this? I didn’t taste it even though I ate it.

The little taro is delicious.

This soup bowl contains tripe, mung beans and sauerkraut. It looks like either sauerkraut or pickled vegetables. This is the first time I have added mung beans to tripe soup.

Fried pickled radish with konjac, my favorite.

Another large bowl of soup was served, which contained bacon trotters, potatoes and carrots. This soup was a bit overwhelming.

Let’s take a panoramic picture. Taking pictures while eating has become a habit. There’s nothing we can do about it.

This looks like a pumpkin.

Fried sweet potato vermicelli with a little bit of black bean in it.

Stir-fried bacon with black bean sauce was originally a good meal, but I ate too many dishes and was almost full.

There were corn kernels in the rice, but I didn’t eat a bite.

Another bowl of noodle soup was served. I took a sip of the soup and unknowingly ate too much. I can never resist the temptation of delicious food.
