The Mid-Tang Dynasty was in a period of domestic expansion, with more victories than losses in foreign wars. Therefore, more people enjoyed the dividends of the war. Xijing was not as prosperous and luxurious as Xiangfan. In a short period of time, there was a feeling that there was no place to use the money.
.
There are many people who have been looking forward to the opening of this place for a long time. You get what you pay for. The Wanshou Plaza built by Mr. Lin is indeed unique. The Zesheng Palace he built must also be very attractive.
Pointed.
Finally, Lin Fengjin half-hidden his pipa and announced the opening on the third day of next month. However, on the 20th of this month, he invited Mr. Dong Yangyang and several close friends of the imperial court to come and try it out.
Hurry. Of course, these people will definitely not deny their respect, and they all said that they will arrive on time.
After entering the door, Lin Fengjin first took these court ministers to appreciate the exotic customs of Japan. Speaking of the limited area of this place, it happened to correspond to the small layout of Japan, which was mainly landscape gardens, exquisite
It is meticulous and very concise in reproducing natural scenery. It also pays attention to gardening craftsmanship, is very poetic and philosophical, and forms an extremely "freehand" artistic style.
Different from Chinese garden flowers and plants, the Japanese style is mainly based on plants. The first thing to see is the "Fushi Garden".
The main plantings in the tea garden here are evergreen trees. Cleanliness is the first priority. Moss must grow on the court and stones to create a "quiet" atmosphere in the tea garden. Flowers and trees are avoided, on the one hand, it is to imitate ink paintings, and on the other hand, it is forbidden to use flowers and trees.
On the other hand, it also has positive significance in using colorless to express tranquility and quaint emotions. In the tea garden, the arrangement of stone lamps and water bowls, especially the laying of flying stones on stones, has been further developed.
Then we came to the relatively large "Three Island Pond", which is actually a small pond of two to three hundred square meters. There are three islands in the center of the pond, connected by bridges. The main garden roads around the pond lead to the tea garden depression and
The pavilions, courtyard houses, twists and turns of the pond bank, bridges, stone lanterns, squatting and other unique artistic conceptions.
Finally, there is the very unique "dry landscape" landscape. Stones are used to symbolize mountains, white sand is used to symbolize lakes and seas, and only a small amount of shrubs, moss and ferns are dotted.
This place is made up of seven or eight stones of different sizes and a large area of gray fine pebbles on the ground. The stones are divided into groups of two and three, and are divided into five groups, but no matter which angle you look at, you will see one of them.
The stones and stone groups are edged with moss, and outwards are concentric ripples made by raking.
At first it seems like you just laugh it off, but after a few more glances you will find that thousands of rocks appear in a small area. In the eyes of practitioners, they are oceans, mountains, islands, waterfalls, and a world in a sand.
Most of the plants are grasses, bamboos, vines, ferns, and mosses. Flowers are rare and very plain.
Lin Fengjin only did it hastily at this time, but there was already a strong Japanese flavor. It was the first time for the ministers who came here to experience this unique and exotic style.
The feeling of lingering.
The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Fengjin led a group of ministers who were a little tired from walking to the winding path to the side.
The gravel road here is also a bit unique. Walking on it, the soles of your feet will be sore, numb, and itchy, but there is an indescribable comfort. There is a sign next to it that says "Healing Road", which means that it is deliberately made with stones.
Foot massage can play a role in maintaining health.
A group of people walked forward along the gravel road under the light of flat red lanterns. Amidst the fragrant fragrance of flowers, they arrived at a house with an obvious Japanese style. The inside of the house was partitioned into small rooms and covered with bead curtains.
, there is an astonishingly huge round wooden basin placed in each small room, almost like a small pool. Although the wooden basin is painted with glue, it has a faint scent of pine wood.
And it's not like an ordinary bathroom where you feel damp and musty as soon as you enter. Instead, it's exceptionally dry. This is because floor tiles are pre-laid under the bathroom. Once you finish taking a bath, it will be quickly cleaned.
Wipe it clean, and then raise the earth dragon, and the moisture will soon be completely evaporated.
Seeing the guests coming in, the servant next to him pushed the cart in. There was a rush of heat coming from far away. It turned out that the copper basin in the cart was filled with fist-sized red-hot stones, so he put these
The stone was put into the big wooden barrel, and suddenly it was steaming and smoke filled. The servant tested the water temperature with water and said it was OK.
At this time, the adults were served by the charming maid next to them. They first drank a glass of light sake to activate blood circulation, then took off their shoes and undressed, then walked up the wooden steps next to them, entered the barrel and sat down on the pre-arranged lounge chairs.
.
The water was submerged up to the neck. These adults were all a little older. They were a little tired before. Now, soaking in the boiling hot water, they felt that all the 18,000 pores on their bodies were covered.
He relaxed and felt so comfortable that he almost moaned.
At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and those who came in were all timid and shy little girls with delicate faces, wearing only white gauze. They walked to the big wooden barrel and climbed up the stairs, like a little mermaid.
He slid into the water normally and massaged the muscles and bones of the adults.
At this time, another maid came in like butterflies in flowers. Two people knelt beside them, holding white towels and wooden clogs on the plates in their hands. Another maid stood next to him, holding a clear bottle of water in his hands.
After filling a cup of rice wine, the woman in the barrel naturally took it and handed it to the lips of the adult in the barrel.
Under the barrel, there is a special warm sun talisman affixed. The water temperature will not drop, but will continue to rise slowly and steadily. At this time, the roof actually moved slowly and silently to the left and right.
The night sky with bright moonlight and sparse stars was revealed. And suddenly, a low and melodious music came from outside. It seemed like an erhu, but there was an added hoarse sound, like a cucurbit silk, and it was richer and more majestic.
Full of exotic atmosphere.
Taichang Temple Cheng who was invited here was very fascinated by the art of music. He found that this instrument was unheard of and hurriedly summoned the performer. However, he found that the body of the instrument was covered with cat skin and was played with a special plectrum.
After asking carefully, I found out that this is an exotic and unique shamisen.
After the top-notch Kaiseki bath was almost steaming, the adults were wrapped in loose and comfortable snow-white Tang suits, but they went to the next door to lie down lazily. They had just finished soaking in the scalding hot water and were sweating all over.
, it’s because my heart beats faster and I don’t want to move, and I feel sleepy.
While taking a break, a hired pedicure artist came to do some "foot solemn work" and relax the acupuncture points on the body. At this time, pedicure was very popular in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and it was not yet popular in Xijing.
It is popular, so it is the first time for most adults to experience this Jiangnan craft.
If someone doesn't want to sleep, there are naturally many books on the table next to her. She can click on one at random and read it by herself. A maid will come over and pull up the screen partitions on both sides, which immediately creates a private space.
I will read the above article in a low voice. It is said that reading at night is an elegant thing. In this situation, all the adults are shaking their heads and getting better.
There are also a lot of calluses and corns on the feet of these adults, especially Dongyang Gong. He usually likes to exercise, so there are a lot of calluses and corns on his feet, which is very troublesome. He watched them being scraped off quickly, and then
By the way, I pressed the acupuncture points on my legs again. Once it was done, I felt as if a layer of shoes had been removed from my feet, which was extremely relaxing.
After Dongyang learned Lin Fengjin's identity, he was stunned for half an hour. Finally, he sighed and has not spoken to Lin Fengjin until now. At this time, the deadlock was finally broken, and he seemed to be honest when calling his nephew.
You're welcome. Lin Fengjin asked Lin Fengjin to arrange a long-term room for him on the spot. He laughed at the other old friends and said that the rest of the enjoyment didn't matter. However, this pedicure service must be done once a month.
The feeling of looseness in your feet is so comfortable that you have never experienced before.
Liu Bian and Liu Shilang, who recommended Lin Fengjin, were naturally among the invitees. When an elderly person had a pedicure, his shoulders were massaged and his feet were massaged. It was extremely comfortable, and he felt sleepy, so he simply became confused.
After waking up from a nap, I felt that my whole body was completely renewed and my spirit was refreshed. I couldn't help but praise it.
Of course, after completing this series of preparations, it was time to eat. We entered a small Japanese-style private room with a paper and bamboo structure, and then sat on the tatami, eating seaweed rice, fine fish and dumplings, tempura, and hot springs.
Eggs and other dishes were served one after another.
At that time, catering businesses were not aware of the necessity of exquisite dining utensils, but Lin Fengjin was the first to use them. For example, plates and colorful tableware that were shaped like mountains, rivers, boats, and islands were previously used.
It has never happened before.
The first thing that was served was the katsuobushi roll. There were green vegetable leaves under the black boat-shaped plate, and the red fish meat was as thin as cicada wings, but it was frozen hard and then shaved out with a plane. Like the flower roll, it really adds to the color.
Little, and the plate was engraved in flying small regular script: "Red skin and white skin, it can be blown lightly, as thin as a cicada's wing. When compared two by two, it is filled with old glutinous rice wine, mixed with pepper and zhi, and the ice in the mouth melts.
"It's so delicious" words of praise.
The tempura is served in a green bamboo basket and deep-fried until it is white and tender. It seems that there is no moisture at all, and it falls into a light powder with a "crash" in the mouth, which is endless aftertaste.
The sushi seems to be rice balls and vegetables, but as soon as you eat it, you will know that the rice must have been carefully selected. There seems to be a slight vinegar in it, and it is wrapped in kelp, which makes it taste twice as refreshing. And the top
The scattered fish roe also burst into pieces in your mouth as soon as you chewed it, which is very unique. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
