Chapter 76

Seeing that the local tycoon was happy, Qianqian took out her notebook and sat down for several pages, and said more actively: "This is the travel route I planned for you. West Lake is so big. It takes at least eight or nine hours to walk around, and it takes more than 70 minutes to take an electric car."

"If time is limited or you don't want to walk, then taking an electric car is the best choice, but I personally recommend that you take a walk on Sudi at least. It's okay to have a short walk. If you haven't walked around Sudi, it's like you haven't swam past West Lake."

Johnson waved his hand and smiled, "Do you think I'm like a person who can't walk?"

The girl smiled brightly and said cutely: "Then let's walk through a few attractions. If you are tired, take the bus?"

Soon they arrived at the West Lake, parked their car, and the four of them started hiking. Today, they knew they were going to travel, so they specifically told Xia Long and Xia Hu to change into sportswear and whether they were stupid in black suits?

"The first stop is the willow waves and the orioles are singing. This is an open park, famous for its green willow color and gentle orioles. In fact, willow trees are planted by the entire West Lake, but the willow trees here are the most dense. The weather was good that afternoon, and I saw the beautiful scenery of willow catkins flying, like snowflakes floating."

Walking into the green park, the fresh air makes people feel refreshed. Qianqian is close to Johnson and introduced: "No, it doesn't work, we can reach Leifeng Tower in about an hour. Do you have any questions?"

Johnson couldn't help but shave his cute little nose with his fingers and whispered: "You will know if I have any physical strength tonight!"

The girl's pretty face turned red, she glared fiercely, secretly looked at the bodyguard behind her, and gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, it's not certain who can't do it then!"

Johnson laughed loudly. He liked this girl very much. She had a lively personality and was full of youthful vitality. She seemed to be cheerful.

As we walked and chatted, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the beautiful women accompanied us. We were not tired for an hour and soon arrived at Leifeng Pagoda.

"Leifeng Pagoda is well-known to the world because of the love legend between Bai Snake and Xu Xian. The current tower is built on the ruins. The bottom floor of the new tower is the ancient tower ruins. The entire ruins are surrounded by glass. You can take the elevator to the fifth floor to see the panoramic view of West Lake. It is very spectacular."

Qianqian took out the tickets prepared in advance and said mischievously: "Let's go, I'll treat you today!"

There were a lot of people in the elevator. When I arrived at the top of the tower, I saw a panoramic view of West Lake at my feet. I went down in a few minutes. There were so many people.

"There is Prince Bay Lake there, and it takes five or six minutes to walk forward. It is also an open park, famous for its cherry blossoms and tulips. Tulip Festival is held every year at the end of March and early April."

Qianqian pointed to a short distance and asked, "It's a pity that the flowering period has passed, the cherry blossoms and tulips have withered. In addition, the large lawn lacks maintenance, there is no green grass, only soil, and no characteristics. Will we still go?"

Johnson shook his head and said, "Isn't it far to go to the Broken Bridge?"

"It's quite far away, so you can only take an electric car. The electric car around the lake is driving counterclockwise around West Lake. It stops when you wave to the hand. It takes about 70 minutes to go around for about 40 yuan per person."

I soon waited for one, got on the bus and walked towards the Broken Bridge. I arrived at the station for more than 20 minutes. It turned out to be a famous scenic spot and a crowded place.

"Why is it called a broken bridge? One said that the road to Gushan is broken here; the other said that Duanjia Bridge is abbreviated as Duanqiao, which is homophonic to it is a broken bridge; the other said that heavy snow stopped, climbing Baoshi Mountain to look south, the white dike is covered like a chain. The sunrise reflects, and the snow melts towards the sun, revealing a trace of the brown bridge deck, as if the long white chain is broken here, so it is called a broken bridge."

"Walking through the Broken Bridge is the Baidi. On the east-west lake surface of West Lake, West Lake is divided into outer lake and inner lake. Starting from the Broken Bridge, crossing the Jindai Bridge, and ending at the autumn moon of Pinghu. This is the most beautiful place in West Lake."

Start hiking and walk on the white dike, leisurely and peacefully, with a clear view of the lake and mountains. Further ahead is Zhongshan Park. If you have no interest, you can change the ground directly.

"This is Su Dike, which runs through the lake in the north and south of West Lake. It is 2.8 kilometers long. It was built by the great poet Su Dongpo when he was appointed as a local official in Hangzhou to govern the West Lake. Because of its charming spring scenery, it is also called Su Di Chunxiao."

Qianqian took a sip of water and explained: "If Baidi is clean, Sudi is lush and green. I think Sudi is more beautiful than Baidi. When you visit West Lake, you must walk on Sudi, which is the most beautiful place."

"Fish viewing in Huagang is on the west side of the southern section of Sudi, with an open botanical garden and ten scenic spots of West Lake..."

"Hefang Street sells fake silk and fake Longjing tea. If you want to buy it, you have to go to a specialty store. And you can still go to Hefang Street after buying it..."

"Don't go to the silk store near Hefang Street, especially the one called Silk City. There are thousands of so-called silk quilts, and they are very dark..."

Before I knew it, at noon, West Lake was also seen almost the same. Johnson Chan said, "Let's go back to take a taxi and go to Louwailou for dinner."

"Louwailou?" Qianqian frowned and muttered: "It's so expensive there, it's not as good as my grandmother's house."

"The signature dish, tea-flavored chicken, has crispy skin, tender meat, and crispy bones. There is also the Grandma Fish Head, fresh, slightly spicy, with a little sweetness..."

Johnson slapped the other party’s little head and said a lot of nonsense. Do you know what a tycoon is?

Eat only the best,

Never mind whether it is expensive or not!

I took a taxi and went straight to the century-old restaurant Louwailou, which was authentic Hangzhou Gang's cuisine. The green mountain Louwailou, the West Lake singing and dancing will be over.

"I have been to Louwailou several times. It was founded in 1848 AD. It has a history of nearly 170 years. It is the most famous century-old brand."

Qianqian said all morning, after drinking mineral water, leaning on the leather sofa, enjoying it, "The main location is good, and dining with delicious food and beautiful scenery is an important reason why Louwailou is famous far and wide. It is known that beautiful scenery and delicious food are not missing!"

When I came to Louwailou, I specially chose a private room in the east wing hall. I have to say that this landscape is amazing. Looking out of the window, I can see the most beautiful scenery in Hangzhou.

Johnson picked up the menu, Dongpo pork, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, honey juice fire recipe, hundreds of birds pay tribute to the phoenix, lotus leaf pulp steamed pork, lotus house fish bag, raw eel slices, Song Sao fish soup...

Come and take all the special dishes, walk for a long time, and make up for them.

Tsing Yikou Longjing said: "Since ancient times, there have been many literati and poets, and there are many traditional famous dishes, many of which are named after ancient people. For example, Taibai duck, Gongbao chicken, Wansanho, Mapo tofu, including Zuo Zongtang chicken, which is the most popular overseas, etc.."

"Dongpo pork is available in Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hubei and other cuisines. The methods are different in different places, but the main ingredients and shapes are similar. The main ingredients are half-fat and half-slim pork, neatly arranged mahjong pieces, which are bright red and bright in color, which are as soft as agate, and are soft but not rotten, and fat but not greasy."

Qianqian's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the rich man was still a gourmet?

"In fact, the earliest Louwailou was a very inconspicuous lakeside shop. However, because the owner is good at managing and cooks good dishes mainly based on lake food, he attaches great importance to interacting with literati, which makes literati and scholars in Hangzhou and come to Hangzhou regard the drinks at Louwailou as their first choice when visiting the lake."

"CCTV once filmed a TV series called Louwailou, which was also the ratings champion that year. I remember starring Zhang Duo, Ye Xuan, Qin Hailu and others. The plot tells the story of the Hong brothers who were the head of the family who operated honestly in the turbulent times of more than 20 years."

Soon Dongpo pork was served, and Johnson picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He commented: "Dongpo pork seems simple, but it is actually not easy to make. First of all, the raw materials are important. You must use pork belly, one layer of fat and one layer of tendons, which will not be too oily or too dry. There are not many pieces of such meat on a pig."

"The ingredients are also particular. The tradition of Louwailou, the rice wine and soy sauce used for roasted pork, all require local products. You cannot use dark soy sauce or light soy sauce. Just use the local Huyang soy sauce from Hangzhou. The same is true for onions, don't use green onions, you must have green onions."

"Blanch the pork ribs in hot water and shape it before changing it. Place bamboo sticks, green onions, ginger pieces, and rinds in order to form the meat peels downwards, and add your own modified seasonings."

"After sealing the casserole, boil it on high heat, simmer for two hours, then turn the meat over and simmer until it is crispy. When eating, put it into a pot and steam it thoroughly, with almost no soup."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and demonstrated: "The finished meat is crispy and rotten. Just use the chopsticks to gently pinch it into two halves. It has a strong aroma of wine, oily but not greasy, smooth and crispy."

"It is best to use a casserole to stew the rice dumpling leaves under it, which not only prevents sticking but also increases the fragrance. When serving, add the small tomatoes soaked in rose salt water the night before to relieve greasiness..."

"Perfect!"
