Chapter 125: Shen Yuan is not a restored pond

In the afternoon, Tian Chuan and Zhang Wentao, who woke up, bid farewell to Zhao Lao. Both of them had drunk a lot of alcohol and could no longer drive, so Zhang Wentao called a driver to come over. The driver's name is Liu Dong, a native of Zhangjia Village, who works for a transportation service company in Kongyiji City.

After they set off from Zhao's house, they didn't go to visit other places, but when they passed through the city, they went to buy some local specialties. Tagawa dried white mackerel, tea, dried plum vegetables and other local specialties, Tagawa also bought high-end porcelain tableware and a set of porcelain tea sets. In addition, he also bought two square Yue inkstones, ready to return to Beijing to give them away.

When they returned to Zhang's house, it was still early, and the two greeted Zhang Wentao's grandparents, and Zhang Wentao took Tian Chuan to go boating. The boat was a small canopy parked by the pond in front of the gate, rowed with wooden oars. After asking if he could fish, Tagawa went to the car to get fishing gear and brought it with him.

The two rowed through the pond, and Zhang Wentao picked a few lotus pods and fished out a few water chestnuts from the water. The shape of the water chestnut here is very strange, it is not an ordinary ingot, but a quadrangular shape, the water chestnut that has just been picked is tender, and there is a fragrance in the mouth when you eat it, Tagawa feels very novel, and takes out the camera to record the appearance of the water chestnut.

Zhang Wentao saw Tian Chuan's curious appearance, and laughed: "I haven't seen it, the water chestnuts we have here are like this, which is different from other places, and it is also a special product of our Kongyiji City." It's just that the water chestnut is not ripe yet, so I can't bring you some back. But then again, even though the shape is different, the taste doesn't seem to be different, so you won't feel strange anymore when you get used to it. ”

Zhang Wentao rowed, Tian Chuan peeled off a lotus pod, and threw the tender white lotus seeds that had gone green into his mouth to eat. Before eating, he dug out the green lotus heart from the lotus seed and threw it into the water next to it. Zhang Wentao said: "You are quite an expert in eating lotus seeds, and you know that the lotus heart is bitter." Don't throw this lotus heart, use it for fishing for a while. ”

The boat rowed a few hundred meters, turned a few corners, and came to a stop next to a reed thicket. Zhang Wentao whispered to Tian Chuan: "I have been throwing food here for a few days in a row, and today we will try it to see if any grass carp will be hooked." Grass carp like to eat fresh and tender reeds, and they often move around the reeds. Grass carp are timid and can't speak loudly, otherwise they will scare them away. ”

Tian Chuan is very good at fishing crucian carp and carp, but he has basically never fished wild grass carp, and at this time he can only listen to Zhang Wentao's command, and the two of them parked the boat by the reeds, and each took a rod with a wheel. Zhang Wentao cut some fresh reeds, took off a section of the reed's shoots, and put them on the hook. On the way to the road, Tagawa caught a large green grasshopper and put it on his hook, and the excess reed was thrown into the water at the bottom of the hook and used as a nest.

After waiting quietly for more than half an hour, as the sun gradually turned west, there were more and more mosquitoes, although both of them were sprayed with anti-mosquito medicine, but there were still a few brave mosquitoes that left marks on them. Just when Tian Chuan was about to give up, Zhang Wentao suddenly lifted the rod, and then a big fish struggled in the water. Tian Chuan saw that Zhang Wentao's commotion was too big, and the grass carp on his side must have been scared away, so he planned to put away his rod and help Zhang Wentao catch fish.

I propose it just in the bait of Tagawa

At the moment on the surface of the water, the water surface suddenly exploded with a "bang", and a black and yellow shadow flickered on the water surface, and it had already swallowed Tagawa's fishing hook and the gnats on the hook, and then there was a violent collision sensation on Tagawa's hand. Tagawa knew that it was a black fish. The struggle of the black fish was very fierce, the strength was very large, but the endurance was insufficient, and it only lasted two or three minutes in Tagawa's hands, and the black fish obediently surrendered, and was copied onto the boat by Tagawa and put into the fish guard. Zhang Wentao on the opposite side was still competing with the grass carp, and he was already tired. Tian Chuan took the fishing rod in his hand, slightly increased the resistance of the reel, and then dragged out the grass carp that kept fleeing into the reeds, and with Tian Chuan using Tai Chi Kung Fu, he took the grass carp to draw a few "8" characters in the water, and the big grass carp finally became honest, and was finally copied by Tian Chuan. The grass carp is very large, Tian Chuan estimates that it is more than ten catties, and the black fish he caught is much smaller, only four catties.

Both were excited and returned home with two large fish. Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang were also very happy, saying that such a big fish is rare. In the evening, Xiao Zhang made black fish fillets into fish fillets. Tagawa cleaned up the large grass carp, boiled the fresh fish head in a pot of soup, cut half of the fish body into pieces, marinated it with salt and wine, and fried it. The Zhang family has never tried such a method, and now when they eat it, they feel that it tastes good.

After dinner, when chatting with Grandpa Zhang, he talked about his experience in Lanting. Grandpa Zhang hurriedly asked Tian Chuan to take out the "Lanting Collection Preface" written in the morning to read. Grandpa Zhang's calligraphy appreciation level is quite high, and after reading Tian Chuan's "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", he praised it and said: "Look at your character, you have become a family, and it is much stronger than the one that was given to me yesterday." The level of your "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" is already very high, and it is excellent in the calligraphy museum of the Orchid Pavilion in the contemporary copy. Keep it as a bookmark. ”

Later, Grandpa Zhang asked Tian Chuan about growing organic vegetables, and Tian Chuan gave a general introduction. In the end, he said: "Your idea of promoting green vegetable food is very good, but it is difficult to realize, to go down, do not forget the original dream, do not be carried away by temporary interests, it is possible to succeed." ”

Tagawa said: "I make this green vegetable and other foods in the future, just for the sake of ideals, and I don't think about how much money I can make from it, as long as the business can be self-sufficient." As for making money, I have other businesses, so I don't think I'll be trapped by interests in this regard. ”

…………

On the second day, Tian Chuan visited the two Chongwen districts of Donghu and Keyan. These two places are a combination of natural scenery and cultural landscape, Tian Chuan likes this scenery very much, and the Upeng boat ride ripples in the lake, one step at a time, which makes Tian Chuan's mood very open. He became interested, painted several sketches, and combined with the sketches and sketches of the Chinese painting style, he drew more smoothly.

On the last day, they first went to the Shen Garden, which is located in the southeast of Kong Yiji City, which is just a relatively large Jiangnan garden and does not have many characteristics. Tian Chuan is not very interested in this simple cultural landscape, but the poignant love story between Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, reminds him of the relationship between himself and Xiaohui and Xu Jingyi, and he doesn't know how it will end in the future. Will one of them be like Tang Chaowan who has no support and dies depressed? Tian Chuan's mood also became heavy during the tour. He was playing with a few famous phrases that had been handed down here in his heart. There are many debates about this famous love story in history, and most of them are believed to be the result of exaggeration by later generations, but Lu You's feelings for his cousin are fully expressed in many Shen Yuan mourning poems in his life.

He has a general feeling about the two most famous "Hairpin Phoenix", and Lu You's "Red Crisp Hands" are sincere and not bad. But Tang Wan's poem "The World is Thin" has an obvious feeling of "wanting to give new words and saying sorrow", I always feel that it is not real enough, some people say that it is a forgery by later generations, and Tian Chuan deeply agrees with this.

His favorite are a few Shen Yuan poems written by Lu You later when he was old, but they made him have endless memories. In particular, the two sentences "The spring wave green under the sad bridge was once a shocking shadow" and "Shen Yuan Liu Lao does not blow the cotton" vividly express the feeling of loss that the Yiren has passed away and is nowhere to be found.

After a hurried look in the Shen Garden, and saw the real and fake ruins everywhere, Tian Chuan couldn't help but paint a painting of "Letting Go of the Mourning Shen Garden" before leaving. In the painting, an old man with a cane, with a slightly rickety figure, looks at the flowing water under the bridge, faintly distracted. The painting is painted in the technique of sketching, but the overall layout is the method of Chinese painting. In the painting, the people are small and the scenery is big, and in the blank space on the old man's head, is Lu You's classic famous sentence: "The sun on the city paints a corner of mourning, and Shen Yuan is not a restored pond." The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and they were once shocked. The dream has been broken for forty years, and Shen Yuanliu does not blow the cotton. This body is a mountain and soil, and there is still a trace of it. "The verses are not written with a pencil used as a drawing, but with a brush dipped in light ink, as if floating in the air. The inscription is not with the poem, far in the lower left corner of the painting, and is written in 2H pencil: "Tagawa, August 1995".

This is an innovative painting method that is completely different from the tradition, which integrates the artistic conception of Chinese painting and the meticulous expressiveness of sketching, giving people a new experience. In particular, the painting method of the stone bridge willow tree, which is gradually fading, is completely realistic, which is beyond the power of Chinese painting.

After leaving Shen Yuan, they went directly to the Xianheng Hotel in the center of the city, where they were ready to settle for lunch. The sculpture of Kong Yiji in front of the hotel is very expressive, especially his slightly smiling demeanor, which makes people have the urge to smile at him.

The layout of the store is interesting, and the counter still has a curved ruler-like counter. On the counter, there are classic dishes such as eggplant beans and spiced peanuts. There are different styles of private rooms in the store, but there is also a lobby seat that is suitable for "short-shirted customers". In order to experience the feeling of Xianheng Hotel in Mr. Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji", many guests deliberately stayed in the lobby to dine.

Tagawa and the others did not crowd in the lobby, but entered the private room. The dishes are ordered according to the waiter's recommendation, including must-order fennel beans, spiced boiled peanuts, fried stinky tofu, and some local specialties, such as bad chicken, dried fish, braised pork, and sauced duck. The taste of the food is not bad, but the wine is a little worse, not as mellow as the one that Tian Chuan drank at Zhang's house and Zhao Lao two days ago. Tian Chuan called the waiter and asked about the wine, and the waiter said: "We are here to feature old wine, you order our best 10-year-old champion red here, the wine is mellow, and it is also a famous wine in our Kongyiji City." ”

Tagawa didn't say anything more and waved the waiter back. They stopped drinking, just ate their meals, checked out and left.

In the afternoon, they went to see the Baicao Garden and the Sanwei Library, and then visited the former residence of Lu Xun, and Tian Chuan's travel plan in Kong Yiji Market has been completed.
