"The Qinhuai River was originally a tributary of the Yangtze River flowing through the Nanjing area, and was called Huai River in ancient times. According to legend, when the First Emperor of Qin was on his eastward tour, he saw the purple air rising over Jinling, thinking it was the king's energy, so he cut a square mountain and cut off the long ridge to create a dam, which entered the river. Later generations mistakenly believed that this water was opened during the Qin Dynasty, so it was called Qinhuai. People often say that the ten-mile Qinhuai refers to the inner Qinhuai River that flows into Nandu City. It starts from Dongshuiguan in the east, with Confucius Temple as the center, and crosses Wende Bridge , Wuyi Lane, until the Zhonghua Gate Castle extends to Xishui Pass. Let’s take a stroll on the painted boat today and return to this pier later.” Jiang Rumeng chartered a small painted boat and introduced the Qinhuai River history, talking about today’s arrangements, waiting for the Qinhuai woman on the boat, and serving Huaiyang’s snacks.

After a while, two slim Qinhuai women brought many snacks to the table. They are the maids of this boat. I don't know why, but it seems to be somewhat similar to Jiang Rumeng's temperament, but slightly inferior. He also has that kind of sharp-tongued but generous feeling.

A girl spoke soft Jinling Mandarin and introduced: "These are our Qinhuai's special snacks, collectively known as the Eight Wonders of Qinhuai. The first one: Huangqiao Shaobing and Kaiyang Dried Silk in Yonghe Garden, the second one: Jiang Youji The beef soup and beef pot stickers, the third best: Liufengju’s tofu dumplings and scallion pancakes, the fourth best: Qifangge’s duck pancakes and assorted vegetable buns, the fifth best: Qifangge’s dried sesame oil and Noodles with shredded chicken, the sixth best: Osmanthus-filled dumplings and five-color cakes from Lianhu Cake Shop, the seventh best: smoked fish silver noodles and thin-skin dumplings from Zhanyuan Noodle House, the eighth best: Kuiguang Pavilion’s five-spice cakes Beans and spiced eggs.”

Another girl introduced: "There is also the ninth set, which is the Huaiyang famous delicacies specially mentioned by Sister Rumeng. Fragrant Dongtang, rolled crispy Dongtang, and tiger skin and oily meat. This kind of meat is also called Dongrou. , is the delicacy created by Dong Xiaowan.”

On a small square table of one meter square, there are exquisite snacks with exquisite workmanship and exquisite selection of materials, coupled with exquisite and designed utensils, which really makes people want to eat and whet their appetite.

What's more, Ding Mu is accompanied by four beauties, all of whom are beautiful and delicious. Ding Mu tasted it, and the taste was just that, but the experience was really good.

Meng Yuman found fault, she said: "Sister Rumeng, I remember the Eight Wonders of Qinhuai. There is a historical story behind every dish. National standards stipulate that every dish must tell a historical story. Why didn't we tell it?" ."

Jiang Rumeng smiled sweetly and explained: "Miss Yuman, you really know a lot. Indeed, there is such a thing about eating dim sum in Nandu. It's not enough to just eat dim sum, you also need to talk about the history behind the dim sum. They didn’t talk about it, so I would just talk about it.”

These two girls were temporarily arranged by Jiang Rumeng. They were not originally waiters, but students from the art academy. They were part-time etiquette models. They could sing and dance. They were good-looking and had skills but little knowledge. As for knowledge, Jiang Rumeng alone is enough.

"Okay." Ding Mu didn't want to ruin the warm atmosphere and smoothed things over. "Eating vegetables and nostalgic for the past, the Qinhuai River in Jinling City is indeed stylish enough."

Jiang Rumeng pointed at Huangqiao Shaobing and said: "Huangqiao Shaobing is produced in Huangqiao Town. The reason why it is famous is closely connected with the famous Battle of Huangqiao. After the Battle of Huangqiao started, the 12 agricultural mills in Huangqiao Town, There were 60 sesame cake ovens working day and night to make sesame cakes. War was raging outside the town, and the fires in the town were red. The local people braved enemy artillery fire to deliver sesame cakes to the front line, composing a magnificent song of victory in which the army loves the people and the people support the army. Therefore, It is designated as the first of the Eight Wonders of Qinhuai."

"That's it." Ding Mu nodded to express his understanding.

Meng Yuman put a smile on her lips and said, "Ding Mu, do you know who the commander of our Dahua Battle of Huangqiao is?"

"Who is it? I am a science student, and I only know about history." Ding Mu really didn't know these details.

"Ah!" Jiang Rumeng seemed to know something and said with some shock, "General Meng, is he your relative?"

"It's my grandpa." Meng Yuman was a little proud. Her grandpa was a general and was more senior than Mr. Mei. Because her father is the youngest son, Meng Yuman's seniority is quite high.

Jiang Rumeng said in awe: "I heard that General Meng returned to Huangqiao, and the people of Huangqiao still entertained him warmly with Huangqiao sesame cakes. He was very excited holding the sesame cakes in his hands. Unexpectedly, Miss Yuman turned out to be Meng Lao. The general’s descendants.”

She originally thought that Meng Yuman was just Ding Mu's ordinary personal assistant, responsible for Ding Mu's daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, but she didn't expect that she was also a lady of the family and a third-generation celebrity who understood the world.

Ding Mu was also a little surprised and said: "Ah, your grandfather is General Meng. This is the first time I know. So, you and Mei Xuejian have similar family backgrounds. It's too unworthy."

"It's nothing to do with talent, I like it." Meng Yuman said a little vaguely, and I don't know whether she meant to say that she likes this business or that she likes Ding Mu.

Only then did Jiang Rumeng know why Meng Yuman insisted on telling the story of Huangqiao Shaobing, because she took this opportunity to naturally tell who her grandfather was. And from what Ding Mu said, there was a girl named Mei Xuejian. I don’t know where he came from. This Ding Mu originally had a decent family background, but he actually had several amazing beauties. Some of the methods he had originally thought of to please men, he did not dare to use.

However, Jiang Rumeng still spoke eloquently to the two girls he arranged: "You two are really going to meet a noble person today. Why don't you bring out your special show and perform it for the distinguished guest."

The two outstanding school beauties looked at each other, took out a guqin, and said in unison: "The two of us will play a little tune together. Please give us your advice."

After saying that, the two of them started playing with their bare hands.

"I have a love, and I want to sing it for you all to listen to. All gentlemen, please be quiet and calm your hearts. Let me sing a song about the scene of Qinhuai, carefully and carefully. I will sing it for you all to hear..."

The painted boat floats in the waves, the sound of oars and the shadow of lights. The green water is like a belt, and the beauty is like a dream.

After the beauty played with bare hands, Ding Mu felt itchy. He borrowed the guqin to caress it, and sang half-singing: "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do you know about the past? There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back in the bright moon. Carved Railing Jade The brickwork is still there, but the beauty has changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward."

In the gentle countryside, Ding Mu enjoyed the adoring gazes and overt and covert compliments of beauties, feeling like he was bathed in the spring breeze and drinking fine wine. At the same time, Tang Mingyuan was drinking with a man wearing a Chinese-style cardigan in a restaurant. He said: "Master Ren, there won't be any trouble with this demolition."

"Absolutely not. I can trust anyone's friends. Let's just drink and wait for our good news."
