Chapter 973 Energetic
night.
Director Lang and Section Chief Qu arranged for Su Xing to eat the Eight Great Bowls of Manchu.
The main dishes include chicken and hazel mushroom noodles, braised shrimp and tofu eggs, braised pork knuckles, scalded frogs, New Year pork stew, stir-fried tofu with snow vegetables, imperial toon fish, and Ama Zun meat.
These dishes are all served in large bowls.
In addition to the eight bowls, there are also eight dishes, which are four cold dishes and four stir-fried dishes.
The portions of dishes in Northeast China are already very large, so when eight dishes and eight bowls are served, the table is really full.
Su Xing was a little happy. If she took a few more bites of each dish with her chopsticks, she could eat most of the food, right?
Everyone sat down and exchanged some polite words.
Su Xing was open and forthright, and interacted with Director Lang and others.
Because she looked so young and was a girl, Director Lang and Section Chief Qu were too embarrassed to let her drink and just ordered some drinks for her.
Director Lang used a serving chopstick to pick up some food for Su Xing. "Miss Su, try this Ama Zun meat, also known as Nurhachi's golden meat. It is made of pork belly with skin, stewed in old soup over low heat. It is one of the eight delicacies of the Manchu-Han banquet, and is also the most representative dish among the eight great bowls of the Manchu people."
"Okay." Su Xing picked up the golden-red meat and put it into his mouth.
After tasting it, she nodded, "It has a fragrant flavor, a crispy texture, fat but not greasy, and is delicious."
Everyone at the table smiled and asked her to try other dishes.
Su Xing tasted them one by one and commented on them.
"The pickled snow vegetable has a unique salty and fragrant flavor, and the tofu is soft and tender. The two are fried together, and the taste is salty and fresh, which is unique."
“The skin of the pig’s trotter is soft and chewy, the meat is very chewy, and it’s full of collagen.”
“The frog meat is very tender, and the roasting method preserves the original flavor of the frog to the greatest extent. It is light, refreshing and delicious. It’s really good~”
“Chicken with hazel mushrooms is perfect for stewing together. The chicken is tender, the hazel mushrooms are rich in aroma, and the vermicelli absorbs the flavor of the chicken and hazel mushrooms, with a smooth and chewy texture…”
Everyone laughed as they listened to Su Xing's comments on the dishes.
"Miss Su has a very clever tongue. She knows how to eat."
"Ms. Su, eat more."
“Try this fish again…”
Su Xing responded with a smile.
This meal was a very relaxed and lively one.
Su Xing was already 70% full without realizing it.
Hey~ It's really exciting to take orders from Brother Province. There are many dishes and large portions. People in Northeast China are warm and hospitable. She really loves to listen to advice and eat~
In fact, Director Lang and Section Chief Qu were very surprised to see that Su Xing really ate a lot. Later on, they did not dare to persuade her, for fear that she would be embarrassed to refuse and end up getting sick from overeating.
After dinner, it’s still early.
Director Lang suggested, "Miss Su, let's go to the riverside. The night view of the riverside in Ji City is also unique."
He wanted Su Xing to take a stroll by the river to help digest his food.
Su Xing naturally would not refuse, she nodded and said: "Okay, I also want to enjoy the night view of Ji City."
The group left the hotel and headed to the riverside.
The first place they went to was the Catholic Church at the north end of the Jishi Bridge.
Section Chief Qu said: "This is the largest church in our Jilin City and one of the landmark buildings in Jilin City."
Director Lang also said: "The church was built in 1917 and completed in 1926, so it is almost a hundred years old now."
Su Xing looked up at the church. Its architectural style was typical Gothic. The main body consisted of the church and the bell tower. The three spires in the front reached into the sky, and on the top of the middle bell tower was a two-meter-high iron cross.
The riverside is very cool at night, and many citizens and tourists are enjoying the cool air or taking photos near the church.
Su Xing raised his camera and took several photos of the church from different angles.
Today, the Jishi Catholic Church is not open to tourists. As a place for Catholic religious activities, the church regularly holds mass, prayers, chanting and other religious ceremonies for believers to carry out their religious activities.
For example, during the Catholic Sunday Mass (every Sunday) and important religious festivals such as Christmas and Easter celebrations, believers will gather here to participate in religious rituals and express their beliefs.
Su Xing followed Director Lang, Section Chief Qu and others and continued to move forward.
The riverside in Ji City is well lit.
The main thin-pole arches of bridges such as the Jishi Bridge and the Linjiangmen Bridge have been installed with landscape lights, and laser spotlights have been added to create a night lighting laser show that blends in with the surrounding buildings and the night scenes on both sides of the Songhua River.
Lighting projects have also been carried out on the squares on both sides of the river and several citizen leisure areas such as the Willow Shade Square and Sail Square in the Qingshui Green Belt.
There is a fountain near the Sail Square opposite that is open every day, shining brightly in the neon night.
Seeing Su Xing looking at the musical fountain across the river, Director Lang introduced: "The musical fountain across the river has a total length of 542 meters. It was built in 2004 and expanded in 2007. It is even more famous."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rhythm of the music on the opposite side suddenly became passionate, and the fountain seemed to be given life and instantly "came alive". The high-spraying water columns pierced the sky with great momentum, drawing magnificent arcs in the night sky, as if they were about to connect with the starry sky!
The opposing water jets interweave with each other to form a huge water curtain, like a dream. The swaying and changing water shapes are like nimble dancers, dancing under the reflection of colorful lights.
The lights of the fountain are also a highlight. The underwater LED lights keep changing colors, and the lights and water columns are perfectly integrated. Sometimes they are like fireworks blooming, sometimes like a rainbow across the river, and sometimes they turn into a dreamy light curtain...
Su Xing directly turned on the camera mode and took a video.
Section Chief Qu smiled and said, "Let's go to Sandao Pier and take a pleasure boat cruise. We can watch the musical fountain up close and enjoy the night view of the riverbank."
Su Xing smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The group arrived at the pier, boarded the pleasure boat, and found a seat to sit down.
Su Xing was sitting inside the seat. He opened the window next to him, looked down and saw the river water shining with silver light. He could feel the cool touch of the water with his hand.
With the engine roaring softly, the pleasure boat slowly sailed away from the dock, and ripples appeared on the calm surface of the river.
Su Xing looked up and saw the Linjiangmen Bridge in front of him. This magnificent building was particularly eye-catching in the night with colorful lights. The huge bridge body was like a winding dragon spanning the Songhua River, echoing with its reflection in the water to form a gorgeous halo.
There is an endless stream of vehicles on the bridge and the lights are flashing, like flowing starlight, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this night scene.
When the pleasure boat turned, Jishi Bridge gradually appeared in her sight. It was also clearly outlined by the lights. It had a different style from the Linjiangmen Bridge, but they complemented each other.
At this time, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, casting a silvery light, which complemented the lights on both sides of the river, making the entire river surface shrouded in a soft and mysterious atmosphere.
The buildings along the coast are carefully decorated with lights, and the neon lights on the tall buildings flash colorful lights, outlining the contours of the buildings, making these usually serious buildings glow with a different charm in the night.
When the pleasure boat approaches the Sail Square, the full picture of the musical fountain appears before your eyes. The rhythm of the music keeps changing, and the fountain becomes more lively, sometimes soothing, sometimes fast, which makes people dazzled and intoxicated, making people feel more immersive than watching from a distance.
Su Xing held up the camera and took a lot of photos while enjoying the night view.
