Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1742

As you enter the first floor hall, a huge white marble relief "When the Wind Sends Tengwang Pavilion Away" comes into view. It was created based on the story of "When the Divine Wind Sends Tengwang Pavilion Away" from the famous article "Stories to Awaken the World" written by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty. The characters on the relief are lifelike, as if bringing them into that magical legend.

Then, they came to the second floor. On the wall of the main hall on the second floor is a large acrylic mural "Picture of Outstanding People", which is 2.55 meters high and more than 20 meters long. The mural depicts famous people from Jiangxi from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty, such as Tao Yuanming, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Wen Tianxiang, etc. They are either holding books or standing with their heads held high, showing the profound cultural heritage of Jiangxi.

Lin Yifei looked at the mural and exclaimed: "It turns out that Jiangxi has produced so many famous people. It is really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery!"

Zhang Yuedong smiled and said: "Yes, these celebrities have achieved outstanding achievements in their respective fields and made important contributions to the development of Chinese culture."

Li Xiao introduced earnestly: "Jiangxi has a very profound cultural heritage. In addition to these celebrities, there are also rich historical relics and traditional culture. When our trip is over, you will definitely have a deeper understanding of Jiangxi."

Afterwards, they visited the third, fourth and fifth floors in turn. The third floor has a winding corridor and an acrylic mural "Linchuan Dream" on the screen wall of the central hall. It is based on the story of Tang Xianzu rehearsing "The Peony Pavilion" in Tengwang Pavilion. The characters in the painting are vivid and colorful, and you can almost hear the melodious opera sound echoing in your ears.

The fourth floor mainly reflects the theme of "Spiritual Land". On the wall of the main hall is an acrylic mural "Spiritual Land Map", which depicts Jiangxi's mountains, rivers, exotic flowers and plants, showing Jiangxi's beautiful natural scenery.

The fifth floor is a bright floor surrounded by corridors. There are four golden plaques under the eaves, with content from "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng". Famous lines such as "The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color" and "The natural world is rich in treasures, and the people are outstanding" make people feel Wang Bo's unparalleled talent and the eternal charm of the Pavilion of Prince Teng.

Finally, they came to the sixth floor. The sixth floor is the highest viewing floor of the Tengwang Pavilion. Between the east and west eaves, there are two golden plaques with the words "Tengwang Pavilion" written by Su Dongpo. Standing on the corridor on the sixth floor, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, the view is extremely broad. The vast Ganjiang River sparkles and connects with the blue sky, like a huge ink painting.

The West Mountain in the distance is covered with lush green hills and rolling hills, which are particularly beautiful under the sunshine. In Nanchang, high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, and there are a lot of cars and people, showing the prosperous scene of a modern city.

"The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together; the autumn water and the sky are the same color; it's so beautiful!" Li Xiao couldn't help but recite Wang Bo's famous quote aloud.

Zhang Yuedong also said with emotion: "Although it is not autumn now and we cannot see the beautiful scenery of sunset and solitary wild geese flying together, the scenery in front of us is enough to make people intoxicated."

Lin Yifei said excitedly: "It's really worth coming to Tengwang Pavilion this time. Not only can I enjoy the beautiful scenery, but I can also feel the profound historical and cultural heritage."

They lingered on the Tengwang Pavilion, enjoying the beautiful scenery and feeling the fusion of history and culture. They left reluctantly until the sunset, when the afterglow sprinkled on the Tengwang Pavilion and covered the thousand-year-old pavilion with a golden coat.

After coming out of Tengwang Pavilion, the three of them were already hungry. They decided to try Nanchang's special food and experience the unique flavor of this city.

Strolling along the street, they came to a popular restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, the enthusiastic waiter came up to him and handed him the menu. Li Xiao took the menu and looked at the dazzling array of dishes on it, feeling a little entangled: "There are so many delicious dishes, what should we order?"

Zhang Yuedong suggested: "When you come to Nanchang, you must try the clay pot soup and Nanchang rice noodles. These are Nanchang's signature delicacies."

Lin Yifei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's order a few more special dishes and taste the flavor of Gan cuisine."

So, they ordered a bowl of preserved egg and meat pie soup, a bowl of cuttlefish and shredded meat soup, a bowl of Nanchang mixed noodles, a bowl of fried noodles, and other special dishes such as stir-fried bacon with quinoa and fish in oil. Soon, the dishes were served one after another.

The first thing served was the clay pot soup, which was a small clay pot filled with rich soup and a fragrant aroma. Li Xiao picked up the spoon and gently scooped a mouthful of the preserved egg and meat pie soup. The soup was delicious and mellow, the meat pie was tender and juicy, and the taste of the preserved egg was just right, which made people linger.

"This clay pot soup is so delicious, with a rich flavor, fresh and not greasy." Li Xiao praised it highly.

Zhang Yuedong also took a sip of the cuttlefish and shredded pork soup, nodded and said, "It's really good. The taste of this cuttlefish and shredded pork soup is also very unique. The freshness of the cuttlefish and the fragrance of the shredded pork are perfectly blended. It tastes delicious!"

Lin Yifei couldn't wait to taste the Nanchang mixed rice noodles. The rice noodles were white and slender, smooth and chewy. They were served with peanuts, dried radish, pickled vegetables and other condiments. After being mixed evenly, they tasted spicy and delicious, making people unable to stop.

"This Nanchang mixed noodles is exactly what I like. It's spicy and fragrant, so delicious that I can't stop eating it." Lin Yifei said as he ate.

Then, they tasted fried noodles, sesame and bacon, and fish soaked in oil. The noodles were distinct, the meat was tender, the bean sprouts and green vegetables were crisp, the eggs were golden, and the aroma of frying over high heat was mouth-watering. Stir-fried sesame and bacon is a famous dish in Nanchang. The bacon is golden, the sesame is green, crisp and refreshing, and has a special aquatic fragrance. When the fish soaked in oil was served, the color was bright red, the fish meat was tender, and it was soaked in hot oil just right. With a light pinch, the fish meat slid into the mouth, and the delicate taste and rich oil fragrance made people intoxicated.

While tasting the food, they also talked about Nanchang's food culture. Li Xiao said: "Nanchang's food is really unique, spicy and fresh, fresh and fragrant, which makes people have endless aftertaste."

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, and Nanchang has a wide variety of food. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can find satisfying food."

Lin Yifei smiled and said: "I think Nanchang's food is not only delicious, but also very affordable and cost-effective."

As they savored the food, they felt the food culture of Nanchang, and laughter echoed in the restaurant. This delicious meal not only satisfied their taste buds, but also made them love the city of Nanchang more deeply.

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. The three of them came to the Bayi Square, which is the heart of Nanchang and was established to commemorate the Nanchang Uprising. The square was brightly lit, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

In the center of the square stands a tall "August 1 Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower", which is as white as snow and solemn. The August 1st Army flag carved on the top of the tower shines brightly under the light.

Standing under the memorial tower, the three men felt particularly heavy-hearted. They seemed to see the scene of the heroic fighting of the insurgents and heard the passionate gunshots and shouts.

"The Nanchang Uprising was the beginning of the Chinese Communist Party's independent leadership of the armed struggle, and it has important historical significance," Li Xiao said seriously. Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, these revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to realize their ideals and beliefs. Their spirit deserves our eternal remembrance and admiration."

Lin Yifei also said with emotion: "Today we can live a happy life, all of which are exchanged for their lives. We must cherish our current life, work hard, and contribute our own strength to the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

They walked slowly around the memorial tower, carefully looking at the reliefs and inscriptions on the tower, and learned about the historical background, process and significance of the Nanchang Uprising.

The figures on the relief are lifelike, vividly showing the heroic posture and tenacious fighting spirit of the uprising army in the battle. The inscription records the great history of the Nanchang Uprising in concise and powerful language, allowing people to more deeply understand the achievements and spirit of the revolutionary martyrs.

Afterwards, they came to the Red Post Station on the west side of the square. The post station displayed old photos and historical changes of the Bayi Square. From the swamps in the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the garrison camps in the Republic of China, and then to the leisure and gathering square after the founding of New China, the Bayi Square has witnessed the development and changes of Nanchang. Looking at these old photos, the three people couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history.

"Bayi Square is not only a memorial place, but also a witness to the development of Nanchang city," said Li Xiao.

Zhang Yuedong agreed: "Yes, it carries the memories and emotions of the people of Nanchang and is the spiritual symbol of Nanchang."

Lin Yifei said: "Through these photos, we can better understand the history of Nanchang and cherish the good life now."

In the Bayi Square, they also met many tourists and citizens who came to visit. Everyone looked at the memorial tower with reverence and remembered the revolutionary martyrs. Some tourists also took photos in front of the memorial tower to record this solemn and sacred moment. The three also found a suitable location and took a few photos, leaving their admiration for the revolutionary martyrs and their love for the city of Nanchang.

Before they knew it, it was already very late. The three of them left the Bayi Square with respect for the revolutionary martyrs and a good impression of the city of Nanchang. They knew that this trip was not just a simple trip, but also a spiritual baptism and growth.

The next day, the three of them walked along the streets of Nanchang, preparing to buy some specialties to bring back to their relatives and friends. They came to a specialty store filled with a variety of Nanchang specialties, dazzling and dazzling.

As soon as he entered the store, Li Xiao was attracted by the Huang Shang Huang marinated duck on the shelf. The marinated duck was bright red in color, tender in texture, and exuded an alluring aroma.

"This Huang Shang Huang marinated duck is very famous and tastes very good. Let's buy a few and take them back." Li Xiao said to Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei.

Zhang Yuedong picked up a duck in sauce and looked at it carefully: "Well, it's really good. This duck in sauce is a special marinated food in Nanchang. The vacuum packaging makes it easy to carry."

Lin Yifei also nodded in agreement: "Okay, buy a few and bring them back for my family to try. They will definitely like them."

Then, they saw Nanchang rice noodles. Nanchang rice noodles are a name card of Nanchang's food culture, with a long history and exquisite craftsmanship. The rice noodles are white in color, delicate in taste, and will not become mushy even if cooked for a long time.

"We can't miss the Nanchang rice noodles. Let's buy a few packs and cook them ourselves," Zhang Yuedong suggested.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, there are many ways to eat Nanchang rice noodles. You can eat it cold, stir-fry it, or cook it into soup. They are all delicious."

So they picked out several packs of Nanchang rice noodles with different flavors and put them into the shopping cart.

In the store, they also found specialties such as Junshan Lake hairy crabs, Poyang Lake whitebait, and Lidu wine. Junshan Lake hairy crabs are named after Junshan Lake in Jinxian County, Nanchang, and are a national geographical indication product of China. They stand out among the hairy crabs in China with their five-star characteristics of "big, fat, fishy, ​​fresh, and sweet" and three comparative advantages of "green, beautiful, and late".

Poyang Lake whitebait is tender and rich in protein and nutrients, making it a delicious and healthy food. Lidu wine originates from Lidu Town, which has a history of winemaking for more than 1500 years. It is known as the "wine town" and is famous for its unique brewing process and rich wine aroma.

"These specialties are very unique. We can buy some and take them back to let our relatives and friends taste the flavor of Nanchang," said Lin Yifei.

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Okay, but we must pay attention to choosing regular products to ensure quality."

After some selection, they bought specialties such as Huang Shanghuang marinated duck, Nanchang rice noodles, Junshan Lake hairy crabs, Poyang Lake whitebait, Li Du wine, and some Gan embroidery handicrafts and Nanchang porcelain paintings.

Gan embroidery is a traditional handicraft of Nanchang, with exquisite weaving techniques, unique shapes and practical functions; Nanchang porcelain plate painting, also known as portrait painting and porcelain image, is a kind of painting art unique to Jiangxi. It is an ingenious combination of painting art and porcelain firing technology, and has high artistic value and collection significance.

After paying, the three left the specialty store with their bags full of specialties. They embarked on a journey to the next city with good memories of Nanchang and blessings to their relatives and friends. They believed that these specialties would definitely bring surprises to their relatives and friends, and would also allow them to better understand Nanchang, a charming city.

After bidding farewell to Nanchang, Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei set off on a journey to Jingdezhen. Along the way, they were full of expectations, imagining what kind of surprises this city known as the "Porcelain Capital" would bring them.

As the car slowly drove into Jingdezhen, the air seemed to be filled with the scent of ceramics. The shops on both sides of the street were filled with a dazzling array of porcelain, which was a feast for the eyes.

"Wow, it's worthy of being called the Porcelain Capital. Porcelain is everywhere. I feel like I can't see enough of it." Lin Yifei said excitedly.

Zhang Yuedong also said with emotion: "Yes, the ceramic cultural atmosphere here is so strong. I can't wait to visit those ceramic attractions."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have plenty of time to experience it slowly. In the next few days, let's appreciate the charm of Jingdezhen."

The next morning, the three of them came to the Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area. As soon as they entered the scenic area, they were attracted by the scene in front of them. The ancient kilns were scattered in the park, as if telling a thousand-year-old ceramic story.
