For Yangzhou people, leisure time is necessary, not to mention leisure time. As the leading consumer city in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yangzhou's status has been difficult to shake for a long time. Times have changed, and today, although the scenery of Yangzhou city is not what it used to be, the soothing pace of life of "skin is full of water during the day and water is full of water at night", Huaiyang cuisine, which is famous in the Chinese world and often hosts state banquets, still provides footnotes to Yangzhou people's leisure and enjoyment. The author, whose hometown is by the canal and on the banks of the Huaihe River, has been exposed to the knowledge since childhood that his ancestors knew that "food comes first" and lived a leisurely life in Yangzhou, although they lived in poverty, boiling dried shredded silk, crab roe buns, appetizing pickles, and making a pot of green Yangchun. Even in Nanjing, where his family was better off, he still ate Weiyang-style dishes such as crucian carp belly stuffed with chopped meat, egg dumplings, grilled whole pig heads, and braised lion heads. The days are like running water, but they cannot take away the memories of childhood. The past is not like smoke, it has long been quietly hidden in the words full of smoke and smoke.
