Lusi Port, a beautiful harbor, is one of the major fishing ports in the country's major centers. The spring breeze blows and the cauliflower is fragrant. Such a seasonal outing, no matter where you go, you will be relaxed, let alone Lvsigang, a place with stories and legends?
Enter Lvsi and go to the seafood wholesale street first. Wander around into a large wet market with seafood stalls, one after the other. Small yellow croaker and striped fish, which look particularly fresh. Not too many people buy it. Later, I walked to the beach and saw that the fishing port was full of fishing boats of various sizes, and analyzed that the fishing boats had just returned from going to sea.
Caves, the home of sea creatures
It was time for the tide to fall, revealing a huge tidal flat. Many fishing boats are parked on the beach. If you don't understand the personality of the sea at the ebb and flow of the tide, I am afraid that I can't think of how the fishing boat is not in the water, and how it is moored on the beach. At a glance, on the densely packed masts, some waved national flags, and some hung red flags. Chinese fishermen go to sea, and the national flag will give them the greatest confidence! Think of the bridge section of "evacuating overseas Chinese" in the movie "Wolf Warrior": the five-star red flag is the best pass! It's identity and dignity! It is a sign of protection and protection!
Lü Si was called Baishuidang in ancient times, also known as Lü Si and Hecheng. The latter two names and origins are closely related to Lü Dongbin. According to the "Muxian LouZhi" written by Zhang Zongxu of the Qing Dynasty, Lü Dongbin went to LüSi four times, and the purpose and reason were different: the first time he sold medicine to cure diseases, the second time he practiced Dan and lived in seclusion, the third time he sold cakes to relieve the famine, and the fourth time he drank wine to save people. Therefore, it has left many traces in Lusi.
Today, Lü Dongbin is the image ambassador of Lü Si. The statue of Lu Dongbin, who looks like a dignified person, holds a dust blowing and a fairy wind Dao bone. He is the biggest handsome guy in the Eight Immortals. There are many stories about Lu Dongbin throughout the country. Lü Si is a small part of his many stories. The following is the story of his four visits to Lusi.
The first time I came, in a certain month of a certain year, the plague of white water was raging, and the whole city was shrouded in bleak terror. Lü Dongbin rushed to hear the news and carried a gourd on his back to administer medicine. He responded to everything he needed and went door to door. A few days later, the plague was gone. In the face of the people who came to thank him one after another, Lü Dongbin replied with a sentence of "treating the sick and saving people without asking for thanks" and quietly left.
The second time to Lüsi, during the reign of Jia Xiangdao of the Southern Song Dynasty. Lü Dongbin incarnated as a hermit and refined the elixir in a secluded place. The local old man surnamed Tao knew that he was not a mortal and went to visit. Lu Dongbin was about to leave. The old man hurriedly stepped forward to grab Lü Dongbin, and in the panic, he only grabbed his sleeve, and the man rode away on a crane. I didn't expect the sleeve in my hand to change into a peach leaf. When he returned home, he planted peach trees widely. The local people were influenced by it and planted peaches together. Lü Si had a large peach forest. Taolin became the "Peach Tree Mudi" of the "Eight Views of Lüsi".

The time came to the Yuan Dynasty, and Lü Dongbin iii to Lü Si. War soldiers and horses are in chaos and encounter natural disasters and tsunamis. Locals are short of food and clothing, often fighting for a little food. Lu Dongbin arrived in time. He told the locals to go back to their homes and break the rice jars, and by the time they arrived, the shards of the rice jars would turn into flatbread. As a result, Lu Si Tank Cake has become a delicacy with a story. There is a folk saying that "after eating the pot cake, you will not get sick in the summer". "Tank cake" is similar to the baked bread we have here.
In the fourth year of Ming Hongwu, Lü Dongbin came to Lüsi for the last time. This time, in order to save people, he transformed into a lame monk and cried at the door of a small hotel. When the hotel owner saw that he was pitiful, he ordered Xiao Er to prepare wine and dishes and invited him to come into the restaurant to eat. The monk entered the shop with tears in his eyes. He ate and drank very happily, and even drank the wine stored in the hotel.
After drinking and eating, he pulled the shop owner along, and both turned into white cranes and flew away. It turned out that he had inspected the store owner's kind heart, and he became a fairy in the shop.
Folk have always had a preference for Lü Dongbin. There are many legends about him. In some places, he is honored as Lu Zu. I have seen more than one "Lu Zu Hall". Because of Lü Dongbin, the reputation of Taoism is much greater. Lü Si, because of Lü Dongbin, has gained a lot so far.
Catch the sea
Lvsi Port, a very large harbor. On the distant beach, there are a lot of sea catchers. The beach was wet and I only dared to try it up close, more with my neck outstretched to watch. The sea catcher hung a bamboo basket and a bamboo basket in his waist, holding a hook-like shovel in his hand, and dug and dug on the beach.
I know that Lü Si's small seafood is very famous. Most of the seafood shellfish sold in our vegetable farm come from the small seafood farmed here. Among them, the clams in the shellfish are known as the freshest in the world. Wen clams are very famous along the coast of Jiangsu. It is said that the name of "first fresh" is the emperor Jinkou Imperial Seal. As for whether the emperor was Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty or Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the language is unknown.
Cooking clams is very simple, stir-fried and white-seared. Egg stew with clams is convenient and fast, suitable for all ages. Winter melon soup is a famous dish on the southeast coast. But Wen Clam Cake belongs to Lü Si alone. At dinner in Lusi, I will order clam cakes. Come back to try to do it yourself, the taste is good, selling and texture, inferior to The Lvsi Hotel a lot. Occasionally do the southern "oyster frying", very good! Personally, I think that the more delicious the ingredients, the simpler the cooking, the better. Giving full play to the characteristics of the original taste is the key to cooking. Dilute the peace and make the most of the nature of the ingredients.

In addition to clams, clams, flower clams, shrimp, shrimp and other seafood are mainly steamed and boiled here. These small seafood have long pipes that stretch out to spit out sediment, buy them back and raise them with seawater, and eat them with confidence. I think that the large and small seafood produced in Lvsi Port is the reason why Lu Dongbin has repeatedly come here.
In this way, Lü Sicai is a true immortal. With so many seafood options every day, good food and drink, isn't it what the gods are? Immortals are originally mortals, and those who are content and happy are not immortals?
