Chapter 65: A First Look at the Villa

……

The torii is nearly 12 meters high, and the whole body is made of solid bluestone. The style of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info archway is a typical 'cupola style', using the 'shape of three rooms and four pillars on the third floor', four huge pillars with a diameter of one meter support the Ming Tower on the top, each pillar has a wide Sumeru seat and a trumpet pillar under it, the dragon and phoenix pattern is engraved on it, although it is very ordinary, the shape is not complicated, but it is this way that reveals a trace of atmosphere and antiquity.

The Ming building at the top of the pillar does not use the traditional glazed tiles, and the birds, flower boards, regular pillars, and dragon and phoenix boards are all polished by the bluestone of a water. The Ming Building in the middle is higher than the second building on both sides, and the four dragons and phoenixes of Taoyuan Villa are located under the Ming Building in the middle. Because there is not too much decoration, it seems that these four big characters are extremely eye-catching!

For this overall simple and generous bluestone archway, Wang Zheng is generally satisfied. The only thing that is worse than his original design is that the stone lions on the front and back of each pillar have not been placed yet.

However, there are still more than two months before the overall completion of the project stipulated in the contract, so there is no need to be too anxious.

"But this greenery is still a little worse after all!"

Looking at the two sides of the archway, planted in rows, and the eyes of the hillside extending upwards, the evergreen trees such as big-leaf privet, magnolia, and spruce that have been planted, Wang Zheng sighed slightly in his heart.

Yanzhi Company didn't have the Shennong plant-type nutrient solution in his hand, so each of these trees was only a small tree four or five meters high. Moreover, in order to leave enough space for them to grow, a large part of the rocky mountains on both sides are still exposed, which affects the overall beauty of the mountain pass.

"Forget it, when the project is over, I'll clean it up myself!"

Wang Zheng, who had an idea in his heart, continued to walk along the asphalt road, crossing a mountain pass with a width of nearly 800 meters, and after entering the interior of the circular valley, the changes here were even greater.

The original rugged center of the valley floor has now been completely transformed, and a giant pit about 2.5 meters deep has been excavated in the shape of an irregular spindle, covering an area of nearly 100 acres. Now a large number of construction machinery and workers are laying cement slabs and burying pipes at the bottom of this huge pit.

In addition, in the center of this giant pit, three giant rockeries are artificially piled up in the way of 'three pools reflecting the moon'. For aesthetic reasons, the three rockeries vary in shape, height, and size. The largest of them is fifteen meters high, and the smallest one is also about ten meters.

Moreover, the materials that compose them are also different, some are bluestone made from local materials, and some are Taihu Lake stones that Wang Zheng bought at a great price.

Now, through the three rockeries, the winding 'corridors' on the giant pit have also been repaired, and the construction of three, or four viewing pavilions of different shapes on each corridor, is also in full swing.

Judging from the progress of the site, it will only take a week or two for the artificial lake in the middle of the mountain village to be completed. Of course, for the time being, we still have to wait.

Surrounding the man-made lake, which has not yet been fully built, is a closed landscape avenue about 4 meters wide that extends along the shore. The landscape avenue is connected to several viewing platforms that are about a meter above the surface.

Extending outward from the landscape avenue, there are already planted landscape trees, most of which are weeping willows, of course, there are evergreen trees such as magnolia and big-leaved privet, as well as some shrubs such as bauhinia and boxwood.

However, they have a common disadvantage with the landscape trees planted at the mountain pass before, that is, they are too short, too young, lack a beauty that has been precipitated over time, and the traces of artificial decoration are too obvious.

The landscape trees continue to extend outward, and there is a strip-shaped or block-shaped green belt with a width of about 10 meters. At the edge of the green belt there are benches for pedestrians to rest.

These benches are not made of wood, but of steel. However, despite their cold appearance, they blend in perfectly with their surroundings due to their exquisite wrought ironwork.

The green belt continues to extend outwards to the asphalt road that surrounds the entire valley, and this 12-meter-wide asphalt road is large enough for two buses to run alongside each other, and it will also be convenient for tourists to pick up and drop off tourists in the future.

The asphalt road extends outwards and is also a green belt, although this green belt rarely has too tall trees. Only in the corners for the sake of the set, there are one or two. The rest are mostly shrubs such as bauhinia, boxwood, and magnolia, as well as shrubs such as yueji, peony, forsythia, and yingchun, although they are all shrubs, but more are still floral vegetation. Of course, there are also vines such as honeysuckle and Lingxiao, as well as uniquely shaped stones.

If you continue to extend beyond this delicately arranged green belt, or a landscape belt with a more appropriate garden, it will be the main building of Taoyuan Villa.

Of course, except for the loft building directly east of the entrance and exit of the circular valley, where a distinctly archaic style has been built, the rest of the place is still a slightly cluttered mountain.

Even if a lot of trees are planted, they can't hide the unsightly messy rocks.

However, Wang Zheng, who holds Shennong's plant-type super nutrient solution, is not worried about this, as long as the project is completed, after the people of Yanzhi Company leave, he will naturally take action to solve it.

"Mr. Wang, why do you have time to come?"

Just when Wang Zheng walked along the asphalt road to the entrance of the main building of Taoyuan Villa, which had been built outside and was being renovated internally, Chen Zheng, the person in charge of the project of Yanzhi Company, who got the news, hurriedly greeted him.

"I'm just idle, come and have a look!"

"Then I'll take you inside?"

"I'm fine, I'm afraid of delaying Manager Chen's work!"

"Hehe, my job is to accompany Mr. Wang, please!"

"Please!"

Under the guidance of Chen Zheng, Wang Zheng passed through the 10-meter-wide, 12-meter-long, bluestone-paved passage in front of the main building, and a fountain that had not yet completed construction appeared in front of him, but the general shape was already very clear.

The entire fountain with the lawn and flower ribbon in front of it is about a circle, with an area of about 600 square meters. With the exception of the ring green belt, which occupies less than a third, the rest are fountains.

The edges of the fountain are irregular, but the lines are soft and beautiful, and the image resembles a chrysanthemum. In addition, the fountain is 40 centimeters above the ground, and the fence is made of white marble. Of course, the most important thing is the landscape in the fountain.

It is somewhat similar to the Great Water Law of the Old Summer Palace, which is 'hunting dogs chasing deer' in the fountain, but it is different here. The position of the deer was changed to a bronze dragon with four paws on the ground, its head held high, two long whiskers raised left and right, the scales of the whole body were orderly, the toes and claws were clear, the length was nearly 6 meters, and the height was 3 meters.

And around the bronze dragon spray is eleven same bronze material, 3 meters long, about 1.5 meters high rats, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, if you add the dragon in the middle, it happens to be the zodiac!

"Now that the Zodiac water spray has been installed, we are now working on the bottom of the fountain to isolate the leakage, and in three days at most, the fountain will be able to operate!"

"Where does the water come from, is it Qinghe?" asked Wang Zheng after nodding.

"Yes, we dug more than 2,000 meters of underground pipes for this fountain, and the project was too costly...... To be honest, Mr. Wang, I don't think this fountain is necessary!"

"But it's done now, isn't it?"

Although Wang Zheng said this, his heart hurt so much. In fact, he didn't want to make the project so huge and complicated as soon as he came up. But Shennong System directly gave the design drawings, and also specified the specific building materials, what can he do.

"That's what you said, now the project is almost complete!" Chen Zheng nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you up to have a look." ”

Because the main building of Taoyuan Mountain Resort is nearly three meters above the ground, if you want to go up, you must pass through the bluestone steps arranged on both sides of the fountain in an arc.

The width of the two steps is about 3 meters, and you can choose either one to go up and down freely.

After Wang Zheng and Chen Zheng stepped up the 20 steps, a rectangular platform with an area of about 100 square meters and bluestone paving appeared under their feet.

Behind the platform is a stone and wood structure, 5 floors and 9 columns, cornices and vault helmet shapes, 25 meters high, 57 meters long, 38 meters deep, golden glazed tiles, corridor columns and vermilion lacquer on the outer wall of the antique building (see Yueyang Tower).

According to the plan in Wang Zheng's drawings, the first floor of the building will be the welcome lobby and restaurant of the future villa, and the upper four floors will become guest rooms! Of course, modern times are not ancient times, and there should be electrical appliances, floor heating and necessary living facilities.

However, now the decoration in the main building has just begun, and the pipelines on the ground and walls have just begun to be paved. Therefore, under the leadership of Chen Zheng, he came out after taking a turn inside.

There's really nothing to see.
