Chapter 496 Visiting Jingzhou Ancient City
For Zhao Cui, he hopes to take the expressway directly to Chongqing, but for Ma Xiaoliang, he wants to stop somewhere in the middle, and that is Jingzhou!The reason why Jingzhou was chosen is that Jingzhou was very famous in the Three Kingdoms era, so Ma Xiaoliang deliberately planned to stay for a day this time!
After leaving the Yellow Crane Tower, Ma Xiaoliang set off with Zhao Cui. Soon the three towns of Wuhan were far behind him, and they were driving quickly westward. The Yangtze River was looming on one side, and on the other side was the high-speed rail that had just opened to traffic. From time to time, there were white high-speed rails. Speed ​​by!The weather was hot in early July. It was still hot even if the air conditioner was turned on. Zhao Cui only brought a sports bra in the car and didn't even bother to wear a nightgown. Anyway, there was no third person around. This may be the advantage of the two of them going out to play. When you want to sleep, drive the RV into the service area, sleep in the parking lot for a few hours, then fill up the water tank and start again. Anyway, the solar charging panel can be charged when there is sunlight, which can guarantee the use of the air conditioner and car lights for at least 48 hours. !

He left Wuhan at noon and arrived in Jingzhou at about 7 p.m. He drove off the highway to Jingzhou and booked a hotel in advance. Zhao Cui said to Ma Xiaoliang on the way: "This time when I go out for fun, I check into hotels when passing through cities, but starting from Chengdu, I just stay in the hotel." She wants to park and play with her car on the road!" Of course, the most important thing is that there are too few RV campsites where she can stay overnight in inland cities. It is not safe to park casually on the roadside, so she simply stays in a hotel!

When you come to Jingzhou, the first thing you see is the ancient city of Jingzhou!You must know that the ancient city wall of Jingzhou was built during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was originally the official ship wharf and Zhu Palace of the Chu State. After 500 years of wind and rain, most of the existing ancient city walls are buildings from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Now they stand in The majestic brick wall in front of Ma Xiaoliang and Zhao Cui was built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. You must know that the Brick City is towering, complete and solid, and has stood on the edge of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years!Many stories have happened here, such as Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, Guan Yu losing Jingzhou carelessly, etc. They are all familiar historical allusions!
When we parked the car at the hotel, it was already around eight o'clock. Ma Xiaoliang filled up the water tank and threw all kinds of garbage into the trash can next to the parking lot!Since the room was booked in advance, Ma Xiaoliang took Zhao Cui into the room. After a simple wash, there was a food street nearby, so he took Zhao Cui downstairs to look for various delicacies!Zhao Cui took Ma Xiaoliang for a walk and felt that Jingzhou eight-treasure rice was good!Jingzhou’s eight-treasure rice is bright in color, melts in your mouth, sweet and moist, oily but not greasy, and sweet but never tire of it. It is also known as “sipping with a shallow cup and savoring it carefully, and you will have a long aftertaste after leaving the table!” According to the stall owner, Jingzhou’s eight-treasure rice is said to be the most delicious rice in the world. It was specially made by Xiao Dai, the imperial cook in the late Qing Dynasty, for the Empress Dowager Cixi to enjoy. It is steamed with glutinous rice, longan meat, dense cherries, melon seeds, red dates, lotus seeds, sugar osmanthus, dense winter melon, etc., and then added with white sugar and pork powder. become!Zhao Cui asked for one portion, but felt it was not enough, so she bought another portion of fish paste!The so-called fish paste means eating fish without seeing the fish. The fish has a meaty taste, is fragrant and tender, and is praised by people. Nowadays, people use fish and fat meat to make cakes, and now use pork, yam, etc. to make meatballs!The meatballs are placed on the bottom, the fish paste is placed on top, and finally the belly slices and kidney slices are stir-fried to cover the top, which is called "Chowder Meatballs"!As for Ma Xiaoliang, he chose to order a Guokui with a lot of sesame seeds on it. The two of them sat in front of the Babaofan shop and tasted Jingzhou’s night snacks together!
