In Changshu, the food is more abundant. There is a saying of "nine meats and thirteen vegetables". The nine meats are crucian carp, salted eggs, snails, quenched chicken (that is, simmered on a low fire; a cooking method that uses a variety of spices to make quenched chicken), pickled fresh, marinated shrimp, and cherry meat.
The thirteen vegetables include cherries, plums, wheat silkworms (new wheat is rolled into thin strips and cooked), bamboo shoots, broad beans, spears, peas, cucumbers, lettuce, grass heads, radishes, roses, and pine flowers.
In Nantong, people eat boiled chicken and duck eggs.
