【Chapter 199】 Natural Harmony
All kinds of delicacies are played in turn, even if Pierre thinks that he has eaten all over the world and belongs to senior gourmets, he is also suppressed!
While these dishes are not yet comparable to those of a fine dining restaurant, the quality of the ingredients is inherently more delicious than the dishes made with a variety of seasonings.
Judging from Xiao Feng's cooking skills, he has no professional training, and he undoubtedly has a high talent and has the potential to become a top chef. If he can receive the training of famous teachers, coupled with the top ingredients produced by the Xiao family, the restaurant he opened will definitely become one of the top restaurants in the world.
However, thinking about the limited-edition custom watch in Xiao Feng's hand, and seeing the low-key wealth of the Xiao family, Pierre also realized that Xiao Feng could not regard chefs as his profession. After all, no matter how famous and top-notch a chef is, in the final analysis, it is still a profession of serving people, which is not a good choice for the rich.
Pierre was very satisfied with being able to taste Xiao Feng's craftsmanship.
Little did Pierre know that today's lunch was just the beginning of his 'food journey' in Ginkgo Village, and that there were many more to come.
After returning to Xiao Wuye's inn for a short rest, the energetic Pierre couldn't sit still at all, and began to wander around the village again with his camera.
In November, the sun is shining in northwest Yunnan, and the suitable temperature is very suitable for outdoor sports, Pierre climbed Qingling Mountain with other tourists, saw the spring of Qingling Mountain Spring, and also overlooked the various beautiful scenery of the entire Jinghu area from the mountain.
On the opposite side of Ginkgo Village is a maple forest, the fiery red maple leaves are particularly conspicuous against the blue sky and white clouds, and the golden ginkgo leaves on the opposite bank complement each other, constituting the two main colors of this natural oil painting.
The passionate maple leaves and the restrained ginkgo biloba form a stark contrast. They blend with each other in the confrontation and form a harmony in the competition.
Pierre's camera shutter could barely stop, and he was very eager to introduce the scenery in front of him to his colleagues and friends.
Pierre thought that the scenery from Ginkgo Avenue into Ginkgo Village yesterday was the most beautiful, but he never wanted to change his perspective, Ginkgo Village gave him more visual impact.
Pierre felt like he was almost getting drunk!
Aside from the huge impact of various cuisines. With just the beautiful scenery in front of him, Pierre felt that Ginkgo Village had the potential to become a top resort. After coming to Ginkgo Village, in addition to the differences in language and culture, the beauty and people's attitude towards life, and the leisurely state of life are strikingly similar to the quiet villages in the Alps.
As a witness. It's hard for Pierre to say which place is better, it should be said that Chunlan and Autumn Chrysanthemum, each with its own merits!
Pierre's observation is very careful, and the number of tourists in Ginkgo Village is really quite large, and there are even many golden-eyed foreigners. Thinking about the reason why he came to Ginkgo Village, Pierre is now known to the outside world. It is moving in the direction of a tourist destination.
Pierre is a lively person, and it doesn't take long for him to get together with these tourists from the United States, Germany, Britain and other places to exchange travel experiences.
For travelers, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to meet a partner from the same cultural background in a strange land, no, they quickly chatted together. Someone even mentioned that yì will get together for a drink tonight?
After these tourists came to Ginkgo Village, they were already impressed by all kinds of pure natural green foods produced in the mountains, and how could they not drink at night when they were in a happy mood?
However, Pierre could only decline the invitation, because he had promised Xiao Feng to attend a grand bonfire at his ranch tonight.
Because he didn't know Xiao Feng's arrangement, Pierre didn't dare to take the initiative to bring this group of tourists he just met to go with him, so he could only make an appointment with these tourists to reunite another day. After tasting Xiao Feng's craftsmanship, Pierre was still full of anticipation for tonight's bonfire.
Throughout the afternoon, Pierre's footprints traveled around Qingling Mountain and Mirror Lake. It's kind of turning around the area around Ginkgo Village. The closer he admires these beauties, the more Pierre can feel that it is nature's love for the villagers of Ginkgo Village, who feel as if they are living in a fairyland.
Of course, in addition to the unique natural environment, Ginkgo Village has unique cultural customs and strong ethnic sentiment in northwest Yunnan. All left a deep and beautiful impression on Pierre.
In particular, the water supply system built by the villagers of Ginkgo Village over hundreds of years has opened Pierre's eyes, and he can only secretly sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.
This system integrates the functions of water supply, cleaning and sewage, and uses various open channels, culverts, water storage holes, pools and other functional areas to form a complete set of perfect systems.
With this system, households in Ginkgo Village can use the cleanest mountain spring water in their yards, kitchens and bathrooms, while the domestic sewage generated by each family is diverted through the guò sewage ditch and finally injected into a reed swamp on the edge of Jinghu Lake, where it is naturally purified.
Although there are still big differences between this water supply and sewerage system and the modern water project, it is enough to hear that it was built more than 260 years ago, which is enough to shock Pierre.
You must know that during this period, Europe had just come out of the dark ages of the Middle Ages, the industrial revolution had not yet begun, and Europe was still in a backward stage compared to the glory achieved by Eastern civilization.
From this set of projects alone, it can be seen that Ginkgo Village has quite a heritage!
What surprised Pierre even more was that Ginkgo Village's environmental protection had reached extremely strict standards, even stricter than in Europe.
All kinds of diesel locomotives with large displacement cannot enter the scope of Ginkgo Village, and there are no motor boats on the surface of Jinghu Lake to avoid pollution of air and water by exhaust gas and waste oil. In the interior of Ginkgo Village, people are more likely to use walking, bicycles, animal-powered vehicles and electric vehicles to travel and transport supplies, which is a bit inefficient, but can ensure that the air in the Jinghu area remains breathtakingly fresh.
Inside and outside the village, a variety of brightly colored, unique shape of the classified garbage bins are quite eye-catching, whether it is tourists or villagers, can consciously abide by various environmental protection regulations, to maintain the whole village, the scenic spot clean and beautiful.
Pierre saw an elderly peasant woman, carefully sorting the garbage bags into different bins, which shows that Ginkgo Village's propaganda in this regard is quite in place.
Pierre, who has been to China several times, knows that the Chinese have always attached great importance to façade projects, and the environmental protection and sanitation work of big cities and iconic scenic spots has always been quite good and bright. However, in some remote areas and rural areas, the health situation is really unflattering, and this is not discrimination, but a fact.
However, the situation in Ginkgo Village has subverted Pierre's stereotype of rural China, which is even cleaner than the small towns and towns of Europe. In this clean and tidy environment, the mood of tourists and villagers is much better, as if they are at one with the whole nature.
A variety of birds can be seen in and around the village, and their melodious sounds are contrasted with the faint sound of pine waves, which shows the extraordinary care for animals here. The squirrels in the woods are not afraid of people at all, and often run to the side of the road to take dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts from the hands of tourists.
On the mirror lake, Pierre saw more than a dozen rare birds, including red-billed gulls, geese, ruddy shelducks, Chinese sand ducks, etc., which has become a paradise for birds. Instead of catching these birds, Pierre also saw villagers and tourists feeding them, and the natural and harmonious coexistence of humans and animals was touching.
In the afternoon, paddling on the mirror-like lake and looking at the snow-capped peaks of the golden mountains in the distance made Pierre feel like he was on Lake Geneva.
Of course, the beauty of the two huge dragon carp amazed Pierre, and in his opinion, these two golden fish were simply God's masterpieces, miracles of life.
The details show that the villagers of Ginkgo are in harmony with the animals that attract Pierre more than the beauty.
More and more beautiful scenery and harmonious images have brought Pierre more touching, and even this moving is touching his inspiration as an architectural artist, and he has a clearer judgment on the future design ideas.
Pierre has already decided that he will have the opportunity to come to Yaozhou and Ginkgo Village in the future to experience the excitement of this place.
If he can design an iconic building in the middle of this green mountain and green water, it may be a perfect masterpiece of his career!
After each design project, Pierre is accustomed to moving from place to place around the world, to relax and be inspired by the beauty of nature and the wonders of people.
This time, Pierre was very fortunate to have appeared in Ginkgo Village on a whim, because the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and harmonious images of people and nature gave Pierre a great touch, and he had more new inspiration for his work.
While Pierre was touring around the village and taking pictures, Xiao Feng and the high-level officials of the Jinghu system were also busy, making all kinds of preparations for tonight's bonfire party.
Unlike in the past, the bonfire was held in a campsite in the Jinghu Valley, and the tourists and employees who participated in the bonfire party stayed in tents in the camping area after the party. The next day, they will also participate in ranch work such as milking and grazing, giving them an up-close experience of farm life and learning more about how those top milks are found in the city.
For this bonfire party, Jinghu Dairy has made all kinds of preparations, and it must make all the tourists and guests who participated in it happy.
It's just that Pierre doesn't know what surprises he is about to encounter!
