Chapter 27: Look at the Blue Smoke Maple Sleeping Dock

Gu Jingxing smiled and sent Mu Fengmian to the imitation Suzhou Garden Hotel.

This is a hotel that imitates the Suzhou garden architectural style, and it can be seen that the designer of the hotel is still quite thoughtful!

Above the main entrance, there is a five-character plaque of "Biyan Maple Sleeping Dock", which is a gold lacquer plaque made of frighteningly expensive golden silk nanmu according to the hotel manual.

As soon as you walk in, you will see a very large rockery made of Taihu Lake stone, only to see that this rockery has thousands of forms, the caves and ravines are like turning, the moss is dotted with green, one side is like a knife cutting, like a cliff, red and golden cliff chrysanthemum is showing its grandeur on this wall.

There is an osmanthus tree next to the rockery, the branches and leaves are luxuriant like an umbrella, and the flowers are in full bloom at the right time.

Turn the rockery, you will see a beautiful antique moon gate, there is a white marble gold lacquer stone plaque above, engraved "butterfly garden" three regular characters.

As soon as they walked into the "butterfly garden", it was as if they had fallen into a sea of flowers.

Everywhere is a thousand purples and thousands of reds, competing for beauty, and smelling the fresh air wafting with bursts of pleasant flowers.

Countless butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and it can be seen that they are all well-cultivated Chinese and foreign famous butterflies, what Chinese butterfly, sun butterfly......

The most important feature of this hotel is that the hotel has a large butterfly glass greenhouse, which has raised thousands of species of butterflies, all of which are excellent species from all over the world.

During the day, the hotel staff have released it, and the moment it is released looks very spectacular and beautiful.

These butterflies collect pollen among the flowers, as if they are dancing among the flowers, which is a beautiful sight to behold.

Mu Fengmian likes butterflies very much. She felt that although these beautiful little creatures had a short life, they had left an incomparably brilliant color on the world in their limited lives!

She was completely mesmerized by the colorful butterflies and kept taking pictures with her camera.

These butterflies are also not afraid of people, probably used to the fact that there are so many tourists to see them every day.

Among so many butterflies, she loves the colorful African sun butterfly the most.

She saw an African sun butterfly on a purple phalaenopsis orchid, and she couldn't help but shoot this scene.

Gu Jingxing, who was left out in the cold, asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to take pictures of me?" ”

"Do you want to shoot? It's good. Mu Fengmian raised his camera at Gu Jingxing.

Gu Jingxing is really not very good at posing, but his good looks and good figure are there, as long as he puts his hands in his pockets coolly and stands there, it is a beautiful scenery.

Gu Jingxing also took out his SLR camera and took a picture of Mu Fengmian, who was taking pictures seriously.

At this time, a butterfly happened to land on Mu Fengmian's shoulder, and this beautiful picture was included in Gu Jingxing's lens.

The two took enough photos before they walked forward together.

On the right, there is a pebbled path, and there is a stone unicorn on each side of the entrance of the path, and the two large golden hydrangeas carried on the back of the stone unicorn are made of countless golden hydrangea chrysanthemums of the same size, and are tied to the stone unicorn with colored ribbons. The unicorn was dressed up like this, as if it was welcoming the guests.

The sheep intestine trail leads to a bamboo forest.

Along the way, you can see pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, which are scattered and looming in them, making people feel like entering a fairyland, happy and forgetful; It's like a maze by mistake, full of fun.

Mu Fengmian took pictures and said with a smile: "This is the so-called 'winding path leading to seclusion' mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions". ”

Gu Jingxing also took pictures and said with a smile: "You really have a vision!" ”

I saw a thousand poles of green bamboo, the posture is slender and slender, the leaves are scattered, the bamboo shadows are overlapped, the autumn sun shines on its body, the breeze caresses its face, there is a charm.

There is a three-storey antique building with hooked cornices, red walls and green tiles in the green bamboo, and the plaque above the open door is the three words "Biyan Pavilion".

A waitress in period costume greeted them with a smile and ushered them in.

I saw a red apricot tree in the middle of the big garden, blooming like a breathing fire. Because it is a little red in the green bush, it is particularly eye-catching.

They walked through the garden and into the large dining room, where only some Chinese landscape paintings hung on the snow-white textured lacquer wall, and five palace lamps hung from the ceiling, which turned out to be large electric lamps covered by palace lanterns.

Mu Fengmian admired it and said with a smile: "It's really a combination of Chinese and Western!" ”

They are very happy with the environment.

Gu Jingxing smiled: "This place is really good, my grandfather should like it here, he likes this antique environment, and my grandmother is from Suzhou, he misses his grandmother's hometown very much." His old man's birthday happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a good time to enjoy flowers and eat crabs in Suzhou. Well, I'm going to give him a big birthday here when the time comes. Xiao Mianmian, I'll send you an invitation when the time comes, and you can also participate, okay? ”

Mu Fengmian looked at his earnest expression, ruthlessly, and politely refused: "Your family holds a birthday banquet, and I am an outsider to participate, isn't it appropriate?"

Although Gu Jingxing knew that she would refuse, it was still difficult to hide her loss when she heard her refusal with her own ears.

Mu Fengmian looked at him left and right, and asked the waiter, "Do you have any recommended dishes?" ”

The waitress said, "Our main dish here is authentic Subang cuisine. Squirrel fish is a favorite in many people's minds, and it is a must order at almost every table. There are also watermelon chicken, eel paste, stir-fried river shrimp, catfish fat soup, vegetarian ham Fengzhen big meat noodles, Suzhou boat point, crab roe xiaolongbao ......"

Mu Fengmian smiled and asked: "These delicacies can be eaten in other places in Suzhou, is there anything that can't be eaten in other places?" ”

The waitress smiled: "Yes, there are our chef's creative dishes 'Fish Leaping Dragon Gate' and the blue stem porridge mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions", do you want to try it?" ”

Mu Fengmian smiled: "Then come one for each and another watermelon chicken." What do you want? ”

Gu Jing made a march. This was the first time he had heard Mu Fengmian call him "Ah Jing", and she had always called him "Mr. Gu" before.

He put away his loss and said with a smile: "I want to eat Suzhou boat points." In the past, my grandmother used to make Suzhou boat orders for us to eat. ”

The waiter handed him the menu, and he ordered two boat spots, namely the swan playing in the water and the jade rabbit running to the moon. Then, he also ordered a catfish fat soup.

The "catfish lung soup" was originally known as "spotted lung soup". The use of grouper lungs to make a variety of dishes was popular in the Suzhou area as early as the Qing Dynasty.

Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty recorded about grouper fish dishes in his book "Suiyuan Food List": "Grouper fish is the most tender. Peel the skin and remove the filth, divide the liver and meat into two kinds, simmer it in chicken soup, add three parts of wine, two parts of water, and one part of autumn oil. When the pot is raised, add a large bowl of ginger juice and several stems of green onions to remove the fishy smell. ”
