Nanjing snacks are famous all over the world, one of the four sizes in China, ranking first among the four sizes in China. It has a long history, unique flavor and a wide variety. It has been passed down from the Six Dynasties to the present, with more than a hundred varieties. Famous snacks include meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, and have different shapes. Among them, the representative is the Confucius Temple area of ​​the Qinhuai River. The Confucius Temple Qinhuai snacks are finely handmade, beautiful in shape, exquisite in materials and unique in flavor. In addition to Confucius Temple, a unique flavor has gradually formed in Hunan Road, Xinjiekou, Chaotian Palace, Changle Road, Shanxi Road, Central Gate, Huimin Bridge, Yanziji and other places.

Everyone visited Wuyi Lane. Seeing that it was getting late, they chose to go to a small shop near the riverside. The shop was close to a big willow tree, and half of its body was shining in the shadows of the trees. It became a little cooler in the hot summer.

The five were appointed as Xiao Yun, and Ye Chen was the oldest, and he was the chief, followed by Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Zhang Yi, Xie Lanlan and Mao Xiang.

After sitting down, Mao Xiang asked the second brother in the shop to give everyone a pot of high-quality Yuhua tea. This Yuhua tea is a specialty of Jinling. It is named after the Yuhua platform outside the Zhonghua Gate in Jinling. The tea leaves are characterized by tight, straight, green and even. Its shape is like a pine needle, with tight and straight ropes, round and slightly pointed at both ends. The tip of the seedlings is straight and elegant, the color is dark green, green and silver, the aroma is rich and elegant, the taste is fresh and mellow, the soup is green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves is tender and bright. Brewed in boiling water, the buds stand up and down, like jade, with a fragrance overflowing. In the Jinling area, wealthy and giants, literati and ordinary people are very fond of.

The waiter who received the order grabbed a handful of Yuhua tea and threw it into a white porcelain pot. Soon a fragrance slowly floated out of the teapot. Mao Xiang took the teapot and poured water into the cups of everyone. He smiled and said, "Jinling has been a place of fireworks since ancient times. Women have appeared here, and only food can be compared with it. There are more than a hundred varieties of special snacks here. There are meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, and they have different shapes. Master Xiao and you guys, why not taste it?"

"It's up to General Mao!" Seeing Mao Xiang's appearance that he understood very much, Xiao Yun simply gave him power and let him do it, but he saved his purity.

Mao Xiang wanted to please Xiao Yun, Liu Bowen and others. After receiving the instructions, he chatted with the waiter. The waiter nodded from time to time, and from time to time he used a pen to carefully outline something in a book. Everyone could not help but look forward to it when they saw Mao Xiang's serious behavior.

I don’t know if it’s because there are no customers or because these special snacks are relatively simple to make. Xiao Yun was only halfway through a cup of tea. The waiter shouted and then served the dishes like a flower-like look.

Lard dumplings, duck meat buns, goose oil crisps, soft cakes, five-spice tea eggs, tofu brain, mandarin duck sesame cakes, jade bags, osmanthus candy taro, honey juice lotus root, small tea stew, dry dry duck, duck blood soup, steamed black chicken in steamed pot, fried smelly plum blossom steamed cake, Yuhua stone dumplings... a table filled.

Everyone had never seen such food. They were surprised and didn't know how to start. Besides, some foods were not even seen by these nerds, so they didn't know how to eat them. Seeing this table of delicious food, they didn't dare to stretch out their chopsticks rashly.

Xie Lanlan was sitting opposite Xiao Yun. Seeing his hesitation, she immediately understood Xiao Yun's difficulties. She was a wealthy family. Besides, she grew up in Jinling since she was a child. She was the most familiar with the food in Jinling. She smiled at Xiao Yun, took the lead in stretching out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of plum blossom cake, then put in bean paste, fresh meat, vegetable lard, roses and other fillings, then poured them on, sprinkled with white sugar, red and green melon shreds, and rolled into a plum blossom shape. Qianqiansu handed them to Xiao Yun, and said, "Master... This is Jinling's authentic plum blossom cake, sweet but not greasy, soft and crispy, with endless aftertaste, better than the imperial court, please taste it!"

Xiao Yun knew it, blinked at her, then laughed, reached out to take the plum blossom cake and put it in his mouth.

But in this way, everyone could see Xie Lanlan's intentions clearly. Song Lian, Liu Bowen and others pretended not to see it, but the more they did, it made Xie Lanlan blush. Seeing Xiao Yun look calm, his eyes turned and glared at him fiercely. Xiao Yun was eating plum blossom cake, and suddenly he was looked at by a look full of Dou E's injustice, and he started to cough immediately.

"Slow down... slow down... no one snatched you...?" Seeing him like this, Xie Lanlan laughed with a "sigh" sound, and her smile was like a peach blossom, making everyone angry.

Song Lian sighed: "As the saying goes, the gentle place and heroic tombs make a lot of sense!" This was originally just a sigh of Song Lian for a moment, but Xie Lanlan heard it, but she thought it was Song Lian cursing her around the bend words, and her pretty face turned cold and her face was full of anger.

Song Lian was shocked in his eyes, and hurriedly got down, reached out to grab a piece of plum blossom cake. The four of them were extremely smart people. Xie Lanlan's presentation had already been remembered at this moment. He began to eat and drink as he picked up the plum blossom cake.

Who knew that Xie Lanlan had the style of a lady in her daily life. When she got stubborn, she didn't refuse to let go. She was so concerned about Xiao Yun that she became gentle and considerate. She had no good expression for such a bad old man, especially when she heard him say "Gentle Land, Hero's Tomb..." She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, so how could she not know the meaning of this sentence?

Xiao Yun was eating plum blossom cake. Seeing Xie Lanlan like this, he quickly grabbed the slip of the head and said, "I said eating, but I remembered a small story. It's quite funny now. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

What a person Liu Bowen, he had long seen Xie Lanlan's unhappiness. He was afraid that his old friend would be scolded by such a woman, so he didn't know how to deal with his old face. He heard Xiao Yun change the topic and smiled quickly, saying, "It's rare that Brother Xiao is so elegant. Are we bored?"
