Moving from Shanghai and Hangzhou to Nanjing, I still feel the rustic demeanor of Nanjing. The temperament of the city is basically fixed, and it is a joke to want to change it.If I were to choose a city, I would probably choose Nanjing 80% of the time, because Nanjing is a Xiahe area with taste and books. I especially like Nanjing's duck blood vermicelli soup. For many years, I came to drink duck blood soup for 20 cents a bowl in Nanjing City. I still remember the scene clearly, but the taste is completely vague.Probably the taste memory time is relatively short, and it contains "experience". Only by re-tasting the bowl of duck blood soup can the taste buried in the smoke and dust of the years be activated.

I went to Nanjing in summer and stayed at Phoenix Terrace. It is a four-star hotel. If it is evaluated according to my standards, I would give it five and a half stars, because many hotels are about one room, one bed, but a bed. The Phoenix Terrace is actually the office building and hotel of the Jiangsu Publishing Group. It is open to both the inside and the outside. In addition to the conventional operation and management, it is the creation of its scholarly atmosphere. It can be created deliberately, but not deliberately.Around Fenghuang Terrace, there are many bookstores and snack markets on Hunan Road.I live in Fenghuang Terrace, skip the hotel breakfast in the morning, go out to eat 5 yuan a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, and then go to the bookstore.

Inside the Phoenix Terrace, there are many specially-made publication shelves, where the bare-leaf reading publication "Open Book" is placed. You can pick up a copy at will when you go up and down the elevator, drink tea, rest, etc. Most of the articles in "Open Book" come from big handwriting, really hard work.When entering the guest room, there are not only "Open Book", but also other periodicals, including a bookshelf with new books on it, and the network cable is also activated, so you can use your laptop to surf the Internet after plugging in the cable.In fact, the five-star hotels I have stayed in have not yet reached the level, and the hotel should have been a place where I can study and work.

Arrived that afternoon, stayed at the Phoenix Terrace Hotel, and first went to drink. The wine was prepared by Mr. Maori, the deputy general manager of the Phoenix Terrace Hotel. We invited Gu Yaodong, a poet and TV film producer, and others. We have all drank in Beijing before. One or two games, and I have already drank Fenghuangtan wine in Fenghuangtai. I have always liked Shuanggou wine from Jiangsu. In the early 1990s, I always went to Guanshan in Wuchang to drink. He bought sober medicine and took it. After taking the sober medicine, he still asked the driver to drive back. It was like that at that time. He didn't know the danger at all, or the mine work itself had hidden dangers everywhere, but he didn't pay attention to the danger outside.

Mr. Maori is a relatively introverted person, gentle and elegant, and unassuming.We just drink Phoenix Lake, no need to discuss, the special wine of Phoenix Terrace.When you drink it, the taste is similar to Shuanggou. If you ask Mr. Maori, he said that it is brewed from Shuanggou, and Fenghuangtan is a brand of his own. Fenghuangtan is a strong fragrance and refreshing type, with a sweet aftertaste. I drink it in a big cup, but Gu Yaodong is a little excited and drinks it in a big cup. Mr. Maori drinks it in a big cup and a small one.You still have to go to the local area to drink wine, and Suzuo local dishes are the best. The Huaiyang cuisine that has been slightly modified and the flavor has become lighter. There is a Huaian Shuangwan that is more memorable. Other fish, shrimp and crab meat are all delicious. A little vulgar.Huai'an Shuangwan is meatballs, meatballs and fish balls, and cattail vegetables, which come from Yuehu Lake in Chuzhou, Huai'an. They are fat, tender and fragrant, white as jade, crisp and refreshing. The freshness of the dish recalls the fragrance of carp.Mei Cheng said: "The ox is thin, and the vegetables are bamboo shoots."Look at this world, if there is no good food, how can there be famous poems?

Starting from Shanghai, I walked around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then I met a drinker in Nanjing. Time passed, and a bottle of Fenghuangtan went down. Due to the fatigue of the journey, I didn’t open it again, but it made me firmly remember this cattail. , is the bud of the cattail grass, the most common thing, the common beauty is also elegant, but I also know the inner meaning of Huaiyang, so I left some ideas, those who go to Suzhou are vulgar to swallow hairy crabs, and those who are elegant must want cattail grass bud.When I left, I picked up a naked publication "Open Volume" as a souvenir.
