Chapter Twenty-Three: The Landscape and the Night of the Barbecue

Early the next morning, everyone got up and packed up and came to the hotel lobby.

The boss has already prepared a hearty breakfast for everyone, including refreshing cabbage porridge, fragrant xiaolongbao, delicious soy milk and artifact fritters with soy milk, etc. Oh yes, and the tea eggs that we obviously can't afford but are used to.

Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and continued to set off to visit the places they had not visited yesterday. Because of the different progress of their respective tours, everyone began to act separately.

Li Xiaoming and the others specially said hello to the boss, indicating that they would not come back in the evening, and they should not prepare their dinner, and then left.

The four of them quickly passed through the attractions they had already visited yesterday, and when they came to the ruins of the Guanyin Bridge, the first new attraction, an hour had passed.

Li Xiaoming, like yesterday, naturally became a tour guide: "Tiantai Mountain used to be a religious holy place, since the monks of the north and south dynasties traveled to the west to create the Tiantai Buddhist Temple here, and until the Tang Dynasty Taoism prevailed, five dynasties built a large-scale city god temple, two Song Dynasty, it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism three religions coexist, a lot of construction, Taoist Buddhist temples as many as 100 places, more and more contradictions between various sects, which also directly led to Lu You was sent to manage the local religion. ”

Li Xiaoming and the others walked forward, and he introduced: "In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to retreat to this time, and the three thousand stick monks on the mountain, that is, the warrior monks, intercepted him, and he came up from the back mountain of Tiantai to attack the religious group on the mountain at that time, which directly led to the current Taoist temples on Tiantai Mountain are all ruins. ”

"Not to mention the Qing Dynasty and modern times, the Qing Dynasty wanted to recover, the first is that the time is too short, the scale of restoration is too small, and the second is that in the modern Republic of China, bandits were rampant and destroyed. However, this is the only place where the Red Army fought and worked when it passed through Rongcheng! There is a memorial hall of the Long March on the mountain, and we, as the successors of socialism in the new era, should go and see it. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded seriously.

Everyone walked up the trail with the ruins of Guanyin Bridge, and when they arrived at the Xichuan cliff, the steep scenery of this wall made everyone have to sigh the magic of nature. The top of the cliff is Moyun Peak, which is one of the strange peaks in the mountain, and is famous for its high peak and dangerous cliffs.

The peak is gentle, the ancient trees are deep and secluded, and the ancient vines and old trees are rare.

Moyun Peak is the place of worshipping the sky in ancient times, if you climb to the top, you can also see the ruins of the sky lantern lit by the ancients to worship the sky - Tianlan Gang.

Now, every Spring Festival, Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area should choose a high place to stand a high pole and hang a string of lanterns to pray for blessings and safety, and the Moyunfeng Sky Lantern is the highest and most exquisite lantern in Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area, which can be seen dozens of miles away, and is known as a scene on the rooftop.

However, now that the season has passed, the string lights are invisible, so you can come again if you have the opportunity in the future.

Everyone left a lot of photos here, and even Li Xiaoming and his brothers have been here several times, and every time they come here, they will feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Continuing up, everyone went to experience a handful of "moving the three mountains and stones of the Bohai Sea, and breaking the Milky Way." "The Gap of the Heavens.

Next, everyone visited the monk's yamen where Lu You once worked.

In the small mill, I saw three waterfalls down the river, each level of the waterfall can be close, you can feel the wet shallows under the waterfall, and you can even sit on the stone slab not far in front of the waterfall, look at the beautiful water curtain, listen to her smart vocal music, and feel the coolness of the soles of your feet. The small mill is also an excellent place to play in the water, the flat riverbed seems to be a whole natural boulder slab, from the small mill to the upstream monk Yamen Bridge, the total length of 150 meters, the average water depth of only 40 centimeters of the creek has become one of the best spots for playing in the water of Tiantai Mountain.

The excellent natural landscape, coupled with Xue Jin's tranquil posture, a picture scroll that seems to pass through time and space jumps in front of everyone.

Going down the river, the group came to the sea of flowers and stones and the forest of flowers and stones carved by nature.

After the sea of flowers and stones, go up along the highway, about 30 meters, and the left side is the entrance of Xiaojiuzhai.

Xiaojiuzhai takes the natural landscape as the scenery, most of the riverbed is flat, the riverbank is lush with trees, all the way, the purity of nature lies in the gurgling stream, in the fresh and thick green that cannot see the road and the edge, in the beautiful butterflies flying, listen to the birds all the way, smell the fragrance of the grass and trees all the way.

In spite of this, the development of Xiaojiuzhai is still primitive, except for the stone pier bridge that crosses the riverbed of the stone path and secluded road, there are no other projects, compared with the water play and waterfall of the small mill downstream and the butterfly beach and the eighteen miles of vanilla ditch in the upstream, there is no advantage here, treading water and playing, not as good as the fun of the small mill; in terms of viewing, it is not as good as the butterfly beach and the three rhymes of Xiushui in the upstream.

When everyone arrived near Yunjing Holiday Hotel from Xiaojiuzhai, the time of the day had passed quietly.

When the Yunjing Holiday Hotel opened a room, Comrade Wang and Xue Da Meinu knew how kind the owner of Walnut Villa at the mountain pass was. Five times the price is simply a slaughter of one.

In this era, the cost of a night's accommodation was as high as 750 yuan. It made Li Xiaoming's brothers think that they should go to the scenic spot to open a hotel!

Four rooms, one night, cost 3,000 yuan.

Li Xiaoming shrugged his shoulders and made a joke: "Don't go out tonight, roll around in the room and rub this money out, mom, it's so expensive!"

Everyone was about to go back to the room to put their luggage, Li Xiaoming opened his mouth and asked the waiter at the front desk: "Waiter, please ask, can we use the barbecue grill we brought on the open lawn by the river?"

The waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously hearing such a request for the first time, and replied politely: "Sir, wait a minute, I need to ask the supervisor." ”

After Li Xiaoming waited here, a manager came over and said to a few people very politely: "Good evening for a few guests, we have received your appeals, after asking for instructions, your demands are completely reasonable, and meeting the needs of guests is our service tenet, but please pay attention to safety, autumn is cool, please pay attention to fire prevention." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, we are bringing a barbecue grill, not directly lighting a fire on the ground." ”

"So how about you put your luggage first, or do you want to go straight to the river for a barbecue?"

"Well, please arrange for a waiter to bring our unused luggage to the room, and let's go straight to the barbecue." ”

"Okay, as you wish, Xiao Li, please send the luggage of a few guests to the room, a few guests, please come with me. The manager said, and after signaling to everyone, he led the way.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, we couldn't afford to live in the past, but I didn't expect this hotel service to be good!" Li Xiaoming said to Chen Wu quietly.

"That's how it should be, otherwise why is it so expensive, if you want to change us at that time, this hotel would cost one or two thousand a night, right?"

Li Xiaoming nodded thoughtfully.

Under the guidance of the management staff, everyone came to a relatively open grass by the river and began to prepare the barbecue utensils they had brought before departure.

Xue Jin asked strangely, "Why don't you consider having dinner in the hotel?"

Li Xiaoming looked back at her and replied very seriously: "It's unpalatable." ”

"It's unpalatable, shouldn't such a big hotel?" Xue Jin said suspiciously.

"It's really unpalatable, this kind of big hotel food, it's good-looking, it's not delicious. Chen Wu also agreed.

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, there will be a buffet in the hotel for breakfast tomorrow, you can try it. ”

Li Xiaoming said as he spoke, his hands were not idle, he neatly arranged all kinds of seasonings, poured the seasonings on the plastic bags of various meat dishes that had already been cut, and stirred them quickly.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, you kid will do this, won't you be salty?" Comrade Wang looked at Li Xiaoming's technique and asked funny.

"Heh, uncle, you just put 10,000 hearts, if this taste is not good, I'll jump into the river and swim!" Li Xiaoming said confidently.

Xue Jin also leaned over curiously and asked, "Xiao Ming, how is this barbecue made?"

Li Xiaoming was busy with his hands and explained: "Meat and other dishes are easy to do, beef, pork belly, chicken wing tips, duck tongue, etc., after cutting, just mix them with seasonings." ”

"As for how to mix it, I'll tell you secretly! This is my exclusive secret recipe, the seasonings you need are these in front of you, chili powder, pepper powder, a little sugar to enhance freshness, cumin powder, thirteen spices, salt, chicken essence, sesame, potato powder, some liquor or cooking wine to remove the fish, and finally pour a little cooking oil and stir evenly. Li Xiaoming said secretly. (Everyone can try it, the exclusive secret recipe, the amount is mastered according to personal preference.) )

"Is it really so delicious?" Xue Jin asked suspiciously, as if they were all ordinary seasonings.

"Hehe, it's really delicious, in fact, the seasoning is simple, that is, sometimes you put less or more flavor, and the taste is different. Li Xiaoming said confidently.

"Okay, the fire is up, there's an iron skewer here, let's help with the skewers! I'll go find the waiter and bring some drinks." Li Xiaoming mixed the meat, washed his hands in the river with clear river water at will, stood up and said to a few people.
