Yu Hua's "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" "Here comes a plate of fried pork liver, two ounces of rice wine, let me warm the rice wine" is here. Coming from "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", he said, "Amidst all the misfortunes of the times and individuals, I have seen all kinds of happiness in life. The sweet and sour is the taste of food, and the joy, anger, sorrow and joy are the taste of life."
The store is not big, but there are many people at the meal, so it is best to go early to get a number. It seems that the number is limited to 50, and no number will be given later, and some dishes will be gone after that.
☕️｜Xuanhutang Cafe
Under the bridge and by the river, there are big characters "Shen Dang" written on the wall. There are wooden chairs and wooden tables at the door, which are very artistic. If it rains, the chairs and tables will be put away. Please pay attention to the weather when you go there ❗️ If you want to have an empty shot at the bridge seat, you have to wait for the crowd to leave, or go early. Walking on the streets of the small town, isolated from the hustle and bustle, the chirping of cicadas in summer also has a literary and artistic atmosphere.
🍶｜Shendang Brewing Factory
No reservation required, just scan the QR code at the door to register and visit
It was established in 1887, 137 years ago. When you enter, you will see many stacked jars, which are wine jars for making wine. To make rice wine, you must use a pottery jar, which is breathable and impermeable. Rice wine is brewed in winter and soy sauce is dried in summer. Nowadays, all I see is brewed soy sauce. I recommend trying the soy sauce cultural and creative ice cream!
🍚｜Shendang Barn: Barn Bookstore📖, Geometry Coffee☕️,
The most beautiful bookstore in Haiyan was transformed from a barn, imagining the transformation from a physical granary to a spiritual granary. You can grab a book, order a cup of coffee, sit in front of the window and let time slip through your fingers, or you can take photos and clock in as much as you like! There is also Jay’s confession balloon wall, which is very photogenic when taking photos~
