Now everyone knows Wuzhen, wuzhen's Xizha is particularly famous, because Ma Yun has been there, there are also Internet conferences, many big guys Yunwu town. Two years ago, a friend from the northeast came to Ningbo, told me that the time is tight, just a day and a half rest time, one wants to go to Xikou, two think of Yunwu Town, I suddenly feel confused, Wuzhen is still a little distance from Ningbo, we also want two days of itinerary, how to walk a xikou in a day and a half, a Wuzhen? Probably in the eyes of friends in the north, On the map, Wuzhen is too close to Ningbo, right?
In fact, if I want to recommend the ancient town, I think the Shaoxing Dongpu Ancient Town, which has few people but is similar, is worth visiting. The core area of this Dongpu ancient town is a rice wine town, which is the birthplace of Shaoxing yellow wine, just a year before I went to Dongpu, in May 2019, Ma Yun also came to the yellow wine town, of course, this was not known before I went to the yellow wine town.
Walking all the way in the yellow wine town of Jiangnan Water Town, eating a rice wine popsicle and a box of stinky tofu, we continued to shop and eat, and saw a Chinese dim sum shop in front of us, called Xu Jiyuanchang, which looks a little old, and the sign says a century-old shop.
There was a large photo in front of the door counter, and I looked at it to know that there was really an advertising effect, so I really went in to see what was delicious.
At first glance, they are all "country snacks" eaten when I was a child, such as kumquat cakes, fragrant cakes, mille-feuilles and so on, and when I was a child, I was very dismissive. My favorites at that time were cream cookies, chocolate and white rabbit milk candy. I don't like the country pastries that my grandmother brought to my house. But now that I've seen it, I think I haven't seen such an authentic Chinese cake for a long time.
I bought a box of fragrant cakes, 10 yuan a box, when I was a child, my grandmother brought a snack always had fragrant cakes, I think this cake is only sweet, but also very dry, eat a piece to choke. Now it is also a piece of tube full, can not eat more, but feel that there is a slight milk aroma. In any case, this box of fragrant cakes reminds me of my grandmother, who I haven't thought of for a long time.
Because it was a rice wine town, along the river, I saw a row of decorations made of rice wine altars, and I smelled a strong aroma of rice wine in the air.
Next to it is a liquor store: the more the brewing workshop, I was completely attracted by the aroma of wine.
There was a master inside, and I saw that each wine altar had a name that I couldn't understand: Shanqing, Shanben, Shanji, and Shanzheng. Feeling very polite, I asked the master, what is the name of this wine? The master said that their boss gave each wine a new name according to the characteristics of different wines, in order to distinguish them from other yellow wines, and created their own unique brands.
The glass cabinet hid a pot of rice wine from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't know if there is any wine in it, or who will drink it in the end?
This is a liquor medicine, I thought it was plum or orange cake at first, if you can make wine, you may wish to buy this kind of wine to try, the wine brewed is Good Luck or Good Ben?
The remaining fragrant mess of the wine, you can make bad brine, do bad chicken rotten meat first class, did not care at the time, now a little regret did not buy a little, summer eat bad meat just right.
We crossed the bridge and walked to the other side of the river, there was a lotus flour shop, not selling freshly boiled lotus flour, just buying packaged bags, otherwise buy a bowl of lotus flour paste to taste.
There was a small wine vessel exhibition hall, and we went inside to have a look.
From the ancient period of wine vessels to the modern wine altar, it is also good to see China's rice wine culture.
Across the river is the shop where I just bought stinky tofu, surrounded by many people buying stinky tofu, in Shaoxing, always have to eat a bowl of stinky tofu to enjoy ah.
I thought that the mountains and rivers of Zhejiang have been stepped on, but I did not expect that there is such a small town that has never been, with clear water and green mountains, small bridges and flowing water, if you have time on weekends, you can also go to see.
