when I left Guangzhou for Yangzhou, I looked up the information of Yangzhou on the internet and found that Yangzhou was called "the food capital of the world". As we all know, Guangzhou is a city of food, "food is in Guangzhou, beauty is in Flower City", but why is Yangzhou called the world food capital? With this question, I got on the plane to Yangzhou.

The master who came to meet the plane is a humorous and kind local elder brother in Yangzhou. He said that Yangzhou must experience "wrapping water in the morning and wrapping water in the evening". I was stunned by this term. I asked what is the skin of the bag? He said that the bag of water is to drink morning tea (the belly is covered with tea), and the water jacket is to take a bath.

I stayed at Shangri-La Hotel, one of the most famous hotels in Yangzhou. I laid down my luggage and it was lunchtime. I heard that the food in Shangri-La was very good, so I planned to visit the cafeteria on the second floor. I was attracted when I first started. It was all kinds of seafood, such as lobster, sashimi, oysters, fish and shellfish. I saw a lot of crayfish on the table in front of many people. I wondered how much so much seafood cost. Later, I learned that the original price was 168 yuan, and there were coupons during the epidemic, and the preferential price was 138 yuan, so many Yangzhou locals came here to eat. The first meal to Yangzhou ended in amazement.

In the evening, we still had dinner at Shangri-La Hotel. A dozen people ordered a lobster feast, weighing 3 kg and with six flavors. The price was 2988 yuan, and everyone finally had enough. To tell the truth, crayfish in Yangzhou are really delicious and cheaper than those in Guangzhou. June is the season when a large number of crayfish are on the market. As the saying goes, it is better to come early than to come opportunely.

After staying in Yangzhou for four or five days, I punched in a well-known local tea house every morning, and went to the Shangri-La Hotel for morning tea, fun garden, Zhichun and Jinchun respectively. Each family has its own characteristics, and the characteristics of * * * are exquisite. For example, a piece of tofu is cut into thousands of shredded tofu, which melts in the mouth, and it is called Wensi Tofu Soup, and it has been read "China on the tip of the tongue"; Another example is that a cucumber is cut into pieces, each piece is as thin as a work of art.

There is another "bag water" in the morning tea, which is actually a crab yellow bag. Because there is a lot of soup in the bag skin, it is also called "bag water". After the authentic Yangzhou locals drink the crab yellow bag, the dishes are still clean, while the foreigners usually make the dishes full of soup, because there is a trick to eating "bag water": move it gently, lift it slowly, open the skylight and drink the soup first.

There are many kinds of morning tea in Yangzhou. In addition to Wensi bean curd soup and crab roe buns, locals often order large boiled dried silk, fine sand buns, five-diced buns, crystal yaorou, Gaoyou double egg yolk, pigeon eggs and so on. Different from Guangzhou Tea House, many well-known tea houses in Yangzhou have a very good environment. Being in the garden courtyard, you can enjoy the flowers, birds, insects and fish outside the window and have morning tea.

For example, the Fun Garden, formerly known as the salt merchant's mansion, has pavilions, bridges and flowing water, trees and grass, and is connected with the mountains and rivers of Slender West Lake, with an extremely elegant environment. It is said that Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times and visited the interesting garden four times. The "interesting garden" was also given by Qianlong.

Another example is Yechun, where the environment is not only good, but also opera lovers are singing Yangju, listening to music while drinking tea, as if traveling back to the Republic of China.

besides morning tea, how about lunch and dinner in Yangzhou? During our five days in Yangzhou, we punched in several of the most famous local restaurants: Lion Building, Yangzhou Banquet, Yechun Red Mansion Banquet, Jiulu Branch, Slender West Lake, etc. First of all, we were shocked by the exquisite knife skills, exquisite setting and super-first-class standards. Just looking at the appearance, people were looking forward to it. No wonder Huaiyang cuisine can become a state banquet. Of course, the taste is also very good, which is very in line with my Cantonese taste. In one word, it is fresh.

what are the characteristics of these restaurants? Eat lion's head in Lion Building; The environment and service of Yangzhou banquet are first-class. The waiters are all beautiful Korean girls, gentle and delicate, and they speak Chinese very well. During the dinner, they also sang Korean songs, and several men present were particularly active and excited.

What impressed me the most was the banquet in Yechun Red Mansion. It is said that every dish was named according to the recipe of the Red Mansion, such as: snow celery bud, old mussel with pearls, grandma's pigeon eggs, golden hairpin and silver silk, Grand View Yipin, Taijun Crisp, Ruyi Juan, etc. During the dinner, several young ladies sang a dream of red mansions, which felt as if we were in the Grand View Garden of the Red Mansion, pushing cups for a change.

I remember that when I first arrived in Yangzhou, I still had some doubts about the title of "Food Capital of the World", but when I left Yangzhou, I recognized this title from my heart. Yangzhou deserves to be called the Food Capital of the World. The food here is not only delicious, but also beautiful and cultured. Some people say that even if it's just for eating, it's worth a trip to Yangzhou.
