Mei, the cook: [singing] Rough is the nature of Lake Hung / My home is on the shore / At dawn, boats go out with nets / At dusk, they return loaded with fish / Wild ducks and lotus roots are here / The scent of rice fills our autumn air / They say heaven is beautiful / How can it compare with my Lake Hung?
