Liuba, a place name full of history, is inextricably linked to Zhang Liang's hermitage.
Zhang Liang's title is "Liuhou", and his hermitage is now the ancient town of "Liuhou Town" in our mouth. This ancient town is like an antique picture, and the bluestone pavement carries the vicissitudes of history, as if it can bring people back to the Three Kingdoms era.
Liuhou Ancient Town is known as "one mountain and one temple".
This "one mountain" refers to Zibai Mountain, the largest Tiantan community in China---.
This "one temple" refers to the Zhangliang Temple, a state-level cultural relics protection unit---.
In Miaotaizi Village, where Liuhou Ancient Town is located, the exterior walls of more than a dozen farmhouses have been replaced with "new clothes". Beautiful and realistic 3D paintings, some show the scenes of labor, some reproduce childhood memories, and there are ...... that reproduce the legendary story of Zhang LiangVivid and interesting.
Jujube Wood Fence mules and horses are in groups, Zhang Liang Temple has raced through Beijing", this is a folk song known to the old people in the village, which is about the once lively Miaotaizi Village. It was built in the early Han Dynasty, one of the important post stations of Lianyun Plank Road in ancient times, and Zaomulan Old Street was built along both sides of the original Lianyun Road, which has gone through a hundred years of wind and frost.
After the heavy snow festival here, walking on the street of the ancient town, only to see the pedestrians are scarce, on both sides of the stone road, in front of the farmhouse and behind the house, hung with golden corn, red peppers, ancient farm tools, colorful wall paintings, some round bamboo baskets are painted with paintings with a strong atmosphere of rural life, all of this tells the visitors that this is an ancient town based on farming, and everything placed will make you feel like the local atmosphere of the autumn harvest coming to your face, like a warm welcome guard of honor.
The ancient town has the ancient mahogany building fence and the red and yellow colored flags, there is always a feeling of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, seeing the South Mountain", plus the alleys that are inaccessible, it is more quiet and comfortable.
My stomach started to growl, and as a "fungus person", I had to find a place to satisfy the fungus in my body.
In Liuhou Ancient Town, I found a small shop called "Lili Snacks".
Inside, there is a barbecue where a few locals are chatting over the fire. I asked who the boss was and ordered the dough.
The kitchen of this small shop is located in the store, and I can clearly see the whole process of the owner making the dough in the kitchen. The boss lit the fire first, then gently poured the batter on the cage drawer, and then closed the cage lid. After a while, the steam filled the entire kitchen, and the figure of the boss appeared firm and vague in the steam. After a few minutes, the boss lifted the lid of the cage, lifted the steamed dough and put it on the cutting board, gently peeled off the skin, and put the cage cloth back in the cage drawer.
Another woman skillfully made a few strokes on the dough with a shovel, and the dough was divided into wide strips. Then, she puts the dough into a bowl of already prepared sauce and sprinkles bean sprouts and shredded potatoes on top.
After eating the first bowl of noodles, I felt that the taste was a little different from what I had eaten in Liuba County, so I ordered another bowl.
When the second bowl was served, I took a picture.
When chatting with the boss, I learned that the boss's surname is Liu, the store is rented, and the boss and the proprietress have been running together for more than ten years. They are the only one noodle shop on the street of Liuhou Ancient Town, and the business is still passable. This year's Red Leaves Festival, there are a lot of people who come to the ancient town, and those days are very busy, and business is good.
The boss told me that you came a few days late, and a few days ago Liuhou Ancient Town had just finished the "Liuhou Laoji". On those days, it was crowded with people selling all kinds of agricultural products and many rural delicacies.
On the Liuhou Laoji, basically the farmers show their own special products such as native honey, American ginseng, bacon, bamboo weaving ironware and so on to visitors.
Liuhou Laoji opens every Saturday, each time there is a different theme, forming a series of flea markets such as "buying mountain goods, homesickness", "wandering in the sea of flowers", "watching temple plays", etc., which not only attracts a large number of tourists, but also improves the economic income of farmers.
He also said that in a few days, Liuhou Ancient Town will usher in the annual "Soup", and I am welcome to taste it.
After eating the second bowl of noodles and paying and saying goodbye, I walked out of the store and walked to the street of Liuhou Ancient Town, and turned around to take pictures of the storefront sign of the "Lili Snacks" shop.
On the opposite wall of the street there is a group of paintings with a very old age: the window of the commissary is always an old grandfather, a little child stands on tiptoe and talks to the old man with his hands on the windowsill. This reminds me of my childhood, and the mural of the "Time Photo Studio" next to the store makes me feel like I have gone back in time.
After filming**, I returned to the car and drove back to Liuba County.
