Man Xiangrui took them to the nearby night market. The night market was very close to Yunzhou. From the night market, you can see that Yunzhou had recovered its power supply. Su Leyao looked at the direction of Yunzhou and whispered: "Yunzhou may be in trouble this time."

Gao Dakuan said: "I have never seen such an unreliable hotel. I sounded twice in a row in one night. After a long time, I was full of false alarms. I don't plan to go back and stay."

Su Le said, "It's nothing to go back, it's only three things. I believe there will be no third fire alarm tonight."

Man Xiangrui ordered some side dishes and came to them to sit down. When he happened to hear Su Le's words, he smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether there is a third fire alarm. Anyway, I won't go back to sleep anymore, and I will never dare to eat Yunzhou's things."

Gao Dakuan looked at the door of the night market stall, which read the fifth sister-in-law fish soup. He thought that Man Xiangrui would invite them to go to a high-end restaurant to spend in order to thank Su Le, but he didn't expect it to be such a roadside stall. Gao Dakuan said, "This environment is a little too inferior."

Man Xiangrui said: "Eating is about taste, and the environment is second."

Gao Dakuan said: "First of eating, you must have a happy mood. If you are in a bad mood, even if you have delicacies, you will still have the same taste as wax." Gao Dakuan likes to argue with others, and he is a little disliked with this auspicious, so he argues with him from the beginning.

Su Le said: "The environment can have a certain impact on your mood, but if you are in a good mood, any environment will become cute in your eyes. I think it is good here, it is quite lively and is very broad. Do you think it looks like a night market in Baihe?"

Gao Dakuan looked at it and it did have a bit of the smell there, but in fact, the night markets across the country are almost the same.

Su Le's eyes fell on the sign at the door: "I have only heard of Mrs. Song's fish soup in the past, why is there a fifth sister-in-law fish soup here?"

Man Xiangrui smiled and said, "This Wujie fish soup is quite delicious. I have tasted the delicious food here, so I invited you two to come here to try it."

When I was talking, the guy had already come over to serve the dishes. The first one I brought was the drunk shrimp. The drunk shrimp is a special delicacy in the Wuyue area. The method is also very simple. Take a big bowl and bring the fresh river shrimp in. The bowl was added in advance. The seasonings were made of chili, wine, garlic, etc.. Although it was simple, the taste of the specific ingredients was very different. The drunk shrimp here was placed in a glassware. Through the transparent utensil, you can see the shrimp struggling desperately, making a slight sound. When you can't hear the sound, the shrimp was already drunk. At this time, the river shrimp was in a translucent state.

When I picked up a shrimp and put it in my mouth, I immediately felt the aroma of the river shrimp. It can be said that the drunk shrimp is the most delicious way to make shrimp. Another portion is fisherman's three fresh foods, which are made of lotus seeds, lotus root and water chestnut rice. Although they are all ordinary ingredients, they are better because they are light and refreshing.

The wine is a specialty of Qiantang bayberry. There are two places near Qiantang. One is Xiaoshan on the other side of Qiantang River. The bayberry produced is purple-black in color and becomes a charcoal plum. The other is Tangqi, which is famous for its ultra-small plum blossoms. The bayberry there is small grains and light red color. Bayberry is not a good fruit. It is ripe and easy to hide insects in the flesh. It is best to soak it in salt water first. Bayberry soup made of Shaoxing wine can treat shaqi, diarrhea, and detoxify. Bayberry burning is red in color and slightly sweet and sour. Because alcohol is absorbed by bayberry, the wine tastes very light, but the taste is excellent.

Man Xiangrui ordered all the special dishes here, which are representative. One of them is called the Lotus Fish Bag. When the lotus pod did not bear fruit, it was called the Lotus House when it was hidden in lotus flowers, it was cut off from the stem, dug out the inner flesh from the bottom, stuffed it into pieces of live crucian carp, home wine and fragrant sauce, and steamed in the cage, so it was named. Man Xiangrui has a very profound knowledge and can be seen in every dish as much as possible. When talking about this dish, he recited a poem: "Broken Pieces."

How many golden straws are weaving? I asked why the fish should be compatible? After rushing into the lotus room, I would like to go to the Huachi to turn into a dragon. This poem describes the fish bag in the lotus room, which comes from "The Qing Gong of the Mountain Family", and is written by Lin Hong. This poem not only vividly depicts this dish, but also has profound meaning. The carp jumps over the dragon gate, which is called the fish turning into a dragon. Here, the lotus room uses the metaphor for the lotus curtain to congratulate others on entering the lotus curtain and not worry about the day of success. It should be Lin Hong's work at that time on congratulations to his friends for entering the officialdom.

Gao Dakuan saw Man Xiangrui whispering words, although he admired his knowledge in his heart, he was very dissatisfied: "There is not so many words in a dish? The so-called allusions are just myths from later generations."

Man Xiangrui said: "It's not a myth, but a real record in the classics."

While talking, Wu Sister-in-law's fish soup was delivered again.

Gao Dakuan looked at it and sneered: "Fifth Sister-in-law Fish Soup, I have only heard of Song Sister-in-law Fish Soup. These days, there are really copycats in everything. There are also these things, and the enhanced copycat version."

Man Xiangrui smiled and said, "Actually, there is a legend about the fish soup of Mrs. Song Wushao from Bianliang, Northern Song Dynasty, moved south to Qiantang, which is now Qiantang. Their family and his uncle caught a serious cold in Xizi Lake. One day, Mrs. Song caught a bowl of fish soup with mandarin fish, pepper, ginger, wine, vinegar and other seasonings. My uncle drank this bowl of delicious fish soup and quickly recovered. Once, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou tasted the fish soup she made, and praised it very much.

The dish of sprinting is called Song Sao Yu Sauce, which is the Wu Sauce Fish Soup, which has been passed down to this day. In "Shuangdian Look at Jiangnan", Yu Pingbo mentioned: "Remembering the West Lake, three memories of the gulls beside the wine. The wine on the upper floor attracts willows on the embankment, and the willows are windy and the wind is tight. The willow flowers are thick. The fish soup is gone, and the story is left in the past. Sprinkle vinegar and cook fresh with water. The milk does not require oil. The fragrance fingers move softly." The good story of fish soup refers to this legend between Song Gaozong and Song Wu Sauce."

Su Ledao: "It has been more than 800 years since the Southern Song Dynasty. The tradition of this dish is really long."

Man Xiangrui said: "China's food culture is the best in the world, with a long history, and it is difficult to understand it thoroughly even if it takes a lifetime."

Gao Dakuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Man Xiangrui's literary look: "You seem very educated, and you speak with a sour air, like a nerd."

Su Le glared at Gao Dakuan, thinking that this guy was very ungraceful today.

Man Xiangrui didn't care. He smiled and said, "What I studied in college is Chinese studies, and food culture is exactly one of them, so I still know a little about this."

Gao Dakuan said: "What university do you have? What degree?" He confirmed that Man Xiangrui seemed hypocritical. He looked like a show-off at first glance. He pretended to be unpredictable and profound. He just read a few more books and memorized a few more ancient Chinese articles.

Man Xiangrui said: "I graduated from Yenching University and studied under the master of Chinese studies Mr. Wu Yuefu."

Gao Dakuan said: "Wu Yuefu? I haven't heard of it. What kind of education do you have?"

Su Ledao: "Everyone said that Yenching University is a true undergraduate degree!"

Gao Da said that Yenching University is so awesome? Maybe it’s a correspondence course!

Man Xiangrui said calmly: "I just finished my doctoral degree!"

"Uh......" The two guys at the same table couldn't help but look at each other. This was the difference. They didn't even know where to open the university gate. They had already graduated from a doctoral student. Not only did they not believe it, but Su Le was a little suspicious. Man Xiangrui seemed to be no bigger than them. Is it a bit too fast for a doctoral student to graduate?

Gao Dakuan said: "How old are you?"

Man Xiangrui said: "I am older than you, I am twenty-four years old. Haha, do you think I am bragging?"

Su Le didn't say anything, Gao Dakuan nodded, and he really felt that this guy was bragging.

Man Xiangrui said: "I went to college at the age of fifteen. I have been in college for four years, five years of master's and doctoral studies, and I have been studying in college for nine years." Seeing that the two were still skeptical, Man Xiangrui sighed and said: "What? Do you still don't believe me?"

Su Le also sighed and said, "No wonder, people can die if they compare themselves, and goods can be thrown away. We can't even pass the college entrance exam, but you have graduated from a doctorate. In the future, the prosperity and strength of the country will depend on people like you."

Gao Dakuan also followed him, but he didn't feel ashamed of himself. The main reason was that Su Le was with him. Although the two high school graduates did not have a sense of superiority when facing a doctorate, they would not be inferior. What if they were not educated? I just didn't have education.

Man Xiangrui said: "Actually, academic qualifications do not represent everything. Take the example just now. If you didn't help me, I would have trouble. Even if we change our seats, I wouldn't be able to carry you down from the rooftop." He picked up the bayberry and burned, "I'm very happy to know you, come and have a drink for our acquaintance!"

"Cheer!" Su Le drank a cup of bayberry roast and tasted the Wushao fish soup here. He had some knowledge about Song Sao Fish Soup. He knew that the mandarin fish that was the main ingredient was first steamed, peeled off the skin bones, and cooked them together with shredded ham, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and chicken soup. There are two things that must be paid attention to when making this soup. First, choose mandarin fish or sea bass meat with little thorns. After steaming, remove the bone spurs. Try to keep the fish as flakes as possible and do not break too much. Second, when thickening, the pot is off the heat, evenly and moderately, and no lumps or powder blocks can appear. The seasonings should be in order. The egg liquid should be poured slowly, stirred while pouring to form an egg slice, which increases the color and beauty.

I picked up this bowl of Wusao fish soup, and looked at the color and was pleasing to the eye. It tasted fresh and tender and smooth, and the taste was very similar to crab soup. This Songsao fish soup was originally called crab soup. I remembered the legendary story that Man Xiangrui told just now, and felt the charm was even more long.

Su Le sighed softly: "Chinese food is not only delicious, but also cultural."
