【正确答案】 1、正确答案：It is known to many people that a tiny fish called the Whitebait is produced in Matsu. Stir-fried whitebait and spice goes great with rice. Our Jing County also produces this kind offish, with smaller size, called Qin fish. Legend says that Qin Gao, an alchemist in the Western Han Dynasty, made pills of immortality in a place with picturesque scenery outside the North Gate of Jing County. Taking the pills, Qin Gao became immortal. Before leaving for heaven, in reward for the high quality water here, Qin Gao cast into the river the dregs of decoction from his pot, which turned into the red fish. This fish is the renowned Qin fish in Qin River of Jing County. Legend is legend, but the fish serves as the top-grade delicacy. Once as a tribute to the royal court, the fish is believed to be precious and famous. However, it is a waste to eat Qin fish with rice. This delicacy will be ruined just as Pigsy devoured the ginseng fruit. Citizens in the south of the Yangtze River are addicted to tea drinking. The Baiyun Tea in the Jing County, a precious tea leaf produced in Baiyun Mountain, turns into white when dipped into hot water. To bring out the best in each other, top-grade tea must be enjoyed with top-grade spring water. Fortunately, the first-class water flows in Qin River. The finest tea will be tasted using these two. Those, who pass Qin River on their way, carry a bamboo canister to fetch some river water there for their old parents as a gift with filial respect. However, this is not perfect. The perfection can never be achieved until the morning tea is served with a pinch of Qin fish. Grandpa got up early, and he practiced some Taijiquan in the willow woods by the river bank and then returned for the morning tea with a small dish of Qin fish and a large dish of osmanthus crunch candy. If at home, my aunt would make this ready for him. When having Qin fish, grandpa picked only two fish between his index finger and thumb each time. I used to call him stingy, and he laughed: "This costs much more than the opium. " The rarity of Qin fish mattered more than its price. Qin fish was sold by liang or qian instead of jin. It"s difficult to capture due to its low production. I left home for Xuan City to be an apprentice at the age of eleven. On my way to Xuan City, I passed the Qin River. While waiting for the ferry, I watched the local people catching the fish with nets. They could only get one or two dozens with each catch, not enough covering a palm. Its rarity led to its high price. Its legendary birth and delicious taste contributed to its preciousness. When it comes to preciousness, there must be many reasons. Grandpa"s morning tea enjoyed some reputation in the town. It"s better for one with requests to come in the morning when grandpa was always in good mood then and answered almost all the requests, which was not the case in the evening. Not all the mornings were blessed with Qin fish, because sometimes it was too rare to buy, but osmanthus crunch candies were always there. The osmanthus crunch candies were made by the Yuchengxuan Bakery in the Guan County. When buying cakes for our own use or for gifts purchases, grandpa always chose this store. I didn"t know why. But others were quite familiar with grandpa"s taste. Every festival was celebrated with gifts made up of four colors, namely the osmanthus crunch candy, the Xuepian cake, the glace dates and the green bean cakes. It was called gifts with four colors, because these four kinds of cakes had four colors: yellow, white, red and green. I forgot which food replaced the green bean cakes in winter. Since I was very young, I began learning to appreciate the morning tea with grandpa, but I only learnt how to appreciate the osmanthus crunch candy. Yet I failed to develop a taste for tea drinking, which I gulp like a cattle. Two stores in Taiwan, Caizhizhai in Hengyang Road and Laotianlu in Chengdu Road, also sell the osmanthus crunch candy, which is beautifully packed but sticks to the teeth easily. Not having had it for many years, I have no idea whether it"s improved or not.
