When I looked at Ehime 38, Shiranui, and Harumi at the table, I couldn't help but think of Sichuan, a small dark horse city.
This is the "hometown of tribute citrus" in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the "hometown of late-maturing citrus in China" today. There are all kinds of "golden fruits", showing the heritage of this "land of abundance".
This is not only the "citrus kingdom" of Sichuan, but also the most "soaking" city in China.
One by one, the small jars soaked out the "soul of Sichuan cuisine" and soaked the whole Sichuan.

It is also a city of mountains and rivers and a state of humanity.
Surrounded by mountains, the river flows slowly, revealing this "thousand-year-old poetry and book city" and "eight hundred jinshi township".

On top of that, there's a long list of business cards:
China's Seven Food Cities, National Forest City, National Garden City, National Health City, Preferred Tourist Destination in the Asia-Pacific Region (Second and Third Tier Cities), and China's Most Beautiful Ecological and Cultural Tourism City......
However, the biggest business card here is a person - Su Dongpo!
Yes, this is Meishan City, known as Meizhou in ancient times, and it is the hometown of Su Dongpo who has been thinking about Zizi all his life.

What kind of Meishan gave birth to such an eastern slope?
Su Dongpo traveled all over the world to see countless landscapes, but he couldn't help but recommend the scenery of his hometown.
When traveling to the East Lake, there is a poem that says, "On the Shu River of my family, the river is as green as blue", and I think of my hometown after passing Lushan, leaving the sigh of "Mo Jiao's name is obscured, called Xiao Emei".
