The two rivers of Fuchun and Puyang merge into the Qiantang River here at the five bridges of the Qianjiang River (Yuanpu Bridge), and from then on the momentum is like a rainbow and flows into the sea.
Before the Fuchun River enters the Qiantang River, it turns a few bends, and at the bends, alluvial forms several islands in the center of the river. On these large and small Jiangxin islands, there are many delicious farms scattered around. Dongzhou Island, east of Shuangpu, is the closest island in Fuyang, Hangzhou City.
At noon, under the leadership of the local aborigines, we crossed the Fuchun River from Dongzhou Island to the south, crossed the Fuchun River, and ate a Jianghu praise that the owner of the farm caught by himself - twelve catties of Fuchun River. 
Fuchun River, the water is clear, and the mountains are hazy. In this season, the clouds and mist splash ink, the four fields into the painting, and the long scroll of freehand. Dongzhou Island Wharf, ferry across the river, standing in the wind, the heart is melancholy.
The process of ferrying makes this meal even more interesting. Satoyama Ferry Port docks. The ferry takes 10 minutes, followed by a 5-minute drive.
The wind on the river is tight, the cold is flooding, and when I get to the farm, I first ask the proprietress to get a pound of wine.
There are two kinds of fine wines in the area from Shuangpu to Dongzhou, one of which is reed yaki.
Millet is sorghum, the god of grains. Reed grass is a hybrid of sorghum and riverside sweet reed, and its juice is sweet and tasty, and the yield is high. Fishermen by the Fuchun River, mostly use reed to make wine, this wine is simple, smooth in the throat, and sweet in the aftertaste.
Begging for life in the river, drink some wine to ward off the cold.
There are two periods of the year that are suitable for brewing asparagus, one season from March to mid-August every year, and one season from September to January of the following year, which generally ferments for 40-50 days and 60 days in winter.
In addition to the asparagu-yaki, there is another earth-baked wine on Dongzhou Island, called grape burning.
Dongzhou Island is rich in grapes. The grapes that can't be eaten are made into wine, and the grape pomace after the wine is distilled to become a pomace brandy, which is called grappa in English.
The best grappa in the world is in the Italian bonini family. The writer Ah Cheng also won the literary award set up by this family in his early years, so Ah Cheng has a lot of grappa from this family in Beijing. He didn't drink a drop of alcohol himself, and his friends came to help consume some.
You can also drink good grappa in Hangzhou, at the 103 Italian Pizzeria on the first floor of the Yuquan Building on Tianmushan Road.
Four years of old reed grass burning, seven years of old grape burning. Grape burning, fruity aroma is very full, beautiful name, Dongzhou brandy. Reed grilled, clear in the mouth, sweet aftertaste.
If you don't drink alcohol, drink tea. This place is known as "Cloud Tea Town". To drink a cup of local green tea, do not lose Longjing. 
Asked the proprietress to arrange a few dishes, only praise. 
The step fish of this season is the best because the spring bamboo shoots are on.
Roasted fish with spring bamboo shoots with snow cabbage is a fresh dish for Hangzhou people to welcome spring.
Step fish is also called earth step fish, this "soil", does not mean that they are attached to the soil, but also that the fish grow in the country.
Yuan Mei wrote in "Suiyuan Food List" that "Hangzhou takes Tubu fish as the top quality, and Jinling people are cheap." The meat is the most tender. Frying, boiling, and steaming are all available. Add pickled mustard to make soup, make soup, especially fresh".
The step fish that is commonly eaten is a small one.
This is vigorous, the cage in the Fuchun River is stocked, more than one catty, and the largest two catties are available, and it is jaw-dropping. Slice and make some spring bamboo shoots with snow cabbage and burn, this soup is fresh and refreshing, dry out a bowl, and then another bowl.
The so-called "cherry soft-shelled turtle cauliflower eel", when the flowers bloom, when people appreciate. Gastronomy has the same origin.
Fuchun Jiang has a mouth, that is, a white strip. Boss Lua caught a big cocked mouth, over the scale, twelve pounds, good guy. Generally, the white strip is only three or four catties.
Cut a fish head for us. Rich and white, smooth and loose. A little burst of marinating, the meat is tightened, and it is more delicious.
There's no fish like a cocked mouth.
Good river prawns do not need to be cooked, and the most simple method is enough. The river shrimp has to hide in the cracks of the stones in the cold, and the shrimp will turn black. The spring is transparent again, and the shrimp line can be seen clearly.
Chickens, ducks, and geese, live close to the ground, stocked behind the hotel, there are mountains, fields, ponds, and fences, which is a paradise.
The birds love the old forest, and the pond fish thinks about the old place. As the sun sets, the farmer roars at the mountains, and the ducks and geese who go out to wander flutter their wings, raise their heads and twist their hips, line up, rush to go, and return to the cage.
They are all chickens that lay eggs, ducks that lay eggs, and geese that lay eggs. Chickens are raised for one year and ducks are raised for two years.
When the guests came, the live chickens were caught, killed and burned. It is cruel to chickens, and it is hospitality to guests.
The eggs are fried with leeks, or the eggs are run with shredded meat, and the guests are happy.
Sweet potato flour skin is a vegetable and a staple food. Add some minced garlic sprouts, roasted at home, oily Q bomb, full of dramatic tension.
Beetroot sprouts are a must-eat in this season.
Red cabbage sprouts are produced in Hongshan, Wuchang, Hubei Province, with large stems and fat, crunchy and sweet and tender, and after frost, the flavor is better. It is said that the real Hongshan cabbage sprouts are only available in Hongshan with a few acres of lotus ponds and reed buds.
In order to curry favor with Zhang Zuolin, the Beiyang warlord Wang Zhanyuan, every time he arrives in the season of beating cabbage, he picks a large number of vegetables and sends them to the outside of the customs, and the logistics on the road are more than 20 days, and the color is still fresh and delicious, and it is not out of shape. Zhang Zuolin was very happy.
Ordinary people just use sausages and bacon to stir-fry and eat. Zhang Zuolin has another way to eat, only take the tender stems, fry them with chicken fat on high heat, and Qiong Yao is crispy. This season's red cabbage sprouts are rich and juicy, and you are advised to pick them more.
Hangzhou drive to Dongzhou Island, very close, not long. Dongzhou Island Wharf takes people to ferry across the river, the ferry takes ten minutes, and it takes five minutes to go ashore to the farm. The ferry is calculated according to the car, ten yuan per car.
It should be noted that at half past five in the afternoon, the ferry stopped. If I wanted to have dinner, I had to take a detour to the highway and go more than ten kilometers away.
