Chapter 48: Cherry Blossoms in Kyoto

The dishes that night were very rich, and the dishes that came up the mountain were still authentic.

"Come, taste a little, this is the most authentic royal cuisine, the fish fillets and vegetables selected are very distinctive, and the workmanship is absolutely exquisite." Shin Wu said,

Zhu Houzhao tasted it, "Well, it's delicious, very good, very delicious." ”

"Okay, just eat more, there are some special things here, such as this baked rice cake and baked glutinous rice ball, this is a very distinctive thing we have here, at first it was just circulated among the people to eat this way and practice, and later the court nobles also liked to eat this thing, because they are very chic." Shin Wu said,

Zhu Houzhao gently sandwiched a piece of baked rice cakes, these rice cakes are the size of a thumb, covered with a lot of spices, and then when baked, they should be skewered with bamboo skewers and cooked.

It can be seen that these chefs bake very well, so these baked rice cakes are very delicious.

Then Zhu Houzhao picked up another roasted glutinous rice dumpling, "That's it." Akiko said, "When you eat it, you have to dip it in soy sauce and sugar, and then wrap the glutinous rice dumplings in seaweed and put them in your mouth." ”

Zhu Houzhao made one according to Mingzi's teachings, and then sent it to his mouth,

"It's so delicious, it's very comfortable to eat." Akiko said,

"It's delicious, it's delicious, and there is the aroma of glutinous rice dumplings and the crispness of seaweed, and I feel the authentic Dongying food." Zhu Houzhao said,

"It's rare that you can get used to eating, hehe." Akiko said,

"Why, such a delicious thing." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Because this cuisine is eaten by the sea, most of you people in the Central Plains are still used to eating your style of food, so I said that you are very rare." Akiko said,

"Generally, people who can follow the customs of the country are well-informed people who go from south to north." Shinwu said

"What my brother said is that you can only experience the local folk customs by following the local customs, if you can't adapt to the customs of various places, otherwise you will go home directly, don't come out." Zhu Houzhao said,

The night was full of joy for the guests and hosts,

At the end of the dinner, Xinwu sent Zhu Houzhao outside the house, and they had already drunk the bottle of sake one by one.

"Big brother, please, we'll see you the day after tomorrow." Shin Wu said,

"Okay, brother, I've made a note of it, farewell." Zhu Houzhao said,

Mingzi sent Zhu Houzhao back, and she took Zhu Houzhao all the way through those long corridors and high covered bridges, and came to the courtyard where Zhu Houzhao lived.

Zhu Hou looked at the shadows of flowers all over the ground under the moonlight, a little intoxicated,

Akiko looked at him with a look that was a little wrong,

"What's wrong with you?" Akiko said,

"I think everything is beautiful." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Well, yes, you see everything is so beautiful, the moonlight is beautiful." Akiko said,

"Well, there are also beauties, the so-called clouds break through the moon and come to the flowers and shadows to talk about this scene, the only difference is that this scene is Dongying, a little exotic." Zhu Houzhao said,

"I hate it, you were originally a hunter, and it's exotic." Akiko said,

"I'm dizzy, no, I'm talking about this situation, I don't feel like the Central Plains." Zhu Houzhao said,

"The Central Plains is so big, you are in Beijing all the year round, there is such a scenery, if the Central Plains is early, you can leave to some places that are not in Beijing, not in Nanjing, and go to those distant places, it is not the same exotic customs." Akiko said,

"Well, but Dongying is on the sea, it is Shenzhou, and it is where the three mountains of Xu Fu's immortal seeking are located." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Do you think it's better to go back to ancient times, you come here, there are no people here, it's more primitive, it's more stylish." Akiko said,

"That's not good, I won't meet you." Zhu Houzhao said,

"What do I have, like me, grab a handful." Akiko said,

At this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't control himself anymore, he held Mingzi in his arms, Mingzi looked at him, the moonlight hit his face, Mingzi felt that he was a fire, and he was waiting to visit him at the moment,

Zhu Houzhao couldn't control himself anymore, he kissed Mingzi's red lips,

The moonlight shone on them through the flowers and trees, and behind them were the pavilions and pavilions of the general's mansion, with its tall eaves and long corridors.

Kyoto Higashiyama, Kiyozanji Temple,

Zhu Houzhao and Mingzi walked up the mountain road after the rain,

Along the way, the pines and cypresses are clear, and the trees emit a fragrance, which makes people feel very comfortable.

The mountain road winds and goes up, and the mountain temple is in the middle of the mountain.

"The cherry blossoms here are the most famous." Akiko said,

"Well, I see a lot of people on the mountain road, are they all here to see the cherry blossoms?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Yes, they are all here to see cherry blossoms, this season is the best time to see cherry blossoms, and after the rain, many cherry blossoms fall, and there are more people watching flowers at this time." Akiko said,

"Oh, why?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"In the eyes of the scribes, the cherry blossom is a symbol of their life, the cherry blossom life is very short, after they bloom, as long as they encounter wind and rain will fall into the dust, those people will send out the feeling of 'born like a cherry blossom', born like a cherry blossom, die into the autumn leaves, as if in such a delicate beauty, everything is so quiet and beautiful." Akiko said,

"Alas, it's really hard for those literati to write such beautiful articles and poems." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Yes, their feelings are so beautiful, and we are also experiencing their feelings when we read their poems." Akiko said,

"Well, yes." Zhu Hou took care of the flowers and clouds on the mountain, and really longed to step forward under the cherry blossoms and be a thousand-year-old Dongying person.

It's just that I have become a Dongying person, what will Dongying people become?

When they came to the rain of flowers, the feeling was even more shocking.

Looking up overhead, the huge red cloud seemed to hold them down,

The red clouds are layers of cherry blossoms, and the entire temple seems to be caught in a sea of flowers, and a gust of wind blows through the flowers on the trees with last night's tears falling down, and then they float in the air, and the whole sky is a red cloud,

"Born like the beauty of cherry blossoms, and die like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves." Akiko said softly,

"I've never seen such a shocking rain of flowers." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Really, many of your places in the Central Plains have unique scenery, and it's rare that you can still like Fengwu here," Mingzi said to Zhu Houzhao,

"Of course we loved it, everything was so beautiful." Zhu Houzhao said,

At this time, a gust of wind rose, and the words on the tree were silent for some reason,

Zhu Hou looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers in the distance, the scenery of the whole Kyoto was in front of him, he hurriedly stopped, the temples and pagodas under the mountain, the buildings of Kyoto, the streets, and the rivers in the distance were all quietly in front of him.

When the clock rang, Zhu Houzhao and Mingzi were bathed in such a rain of flowers at the moment, feeling that the world and the sky were all beautiful illusions.

They were a little intoxicated,
