Chapter 422: Xiao Er packs
The two of them said while strolling that they would finish shopping after a while, thinking that no matter how big the courtyard of this kind of commercial street could be, the third prince was very disgusted.
In view of this, Yunxi did not design too many elements for him, the pond to the middle of the yard directly paved with floor tiles, the pond is two begonias and then add stone tables and stone benches, the other side against the wall to build a flower pond, plant seasonal flowers, left and right this main place to make flowers, change at any time.
The rest of the place Yunxi suggested that the three princes plant a lawn, although the green lawn is a little monotonous, but it is undoubtedly the favorite for men who are not sensitive to flowers, and then plant a large plum in the middle of the meadow, looking at flowers in winter and shading in summer.
"It's understandable to plant plums, but what's the use of planting a piece of grass? It's a strange idea of yours, Sister Yunxi, grass, what can there be to see? The third prince was puzzled, isn't grass a thorn in the eye of Yuanmenzi? Everywhere is inexhaustible, when do we need to plant specially?
"I'm not talking about weeds, but one or two or three combinations of grass, not any kind of grass can be, compulsory can withstand pruning and trampling, and then it must be good for years, but also low, even, dense, so that whether it is barefoot or lying down, it can be very comfortable." Yunxi explained.
Although I don't understand it a little, the third prince has been lying on the grass, lying on his back, looking at the white clouds, his body and mind are empty, and it feels really beautiful that he is so comfortable that people want to sleep. Imagine if you could lie down in your own home and bask in the sun and count the stars at any time, it seems good!
So he strongly agreed, "This idea is good, very good, tell me how we plant, hurry up and plant it?" ”
Yunxi: "......"
How? This question is a bit difficult, in the past, you can buy turf and grass seeds, but now what should I do? What is the name of the grass seeds used in the lawn, Yunxi twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, he didn't seem to know!
"I don't know, let's go to the suburbs and watch it ourselves." Yunxi is very authentic. She's a child, isn't it normal to not know?
I don't know what you said is the way, make me happy in vain, the third prince slandered, but looking at Yunxi's righteous appearance, I think this is right, what can a child younger than herself know, but her doctrine is really good, you can try.
"If you think that the pure grass is too monotonous, you can match some flowering perennials, such as old garlic (lycoris), hosta, allium orchid, purple flower, plum or something, it should look a lot better." Yunxi continued.
"No, you don't." The third prince waved his hand and said, "If you plant flowers, it will be a pity when you lie down, and if you don't lie down, you won't be unwilling, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Or as long as the grass is good, or we will go to pick grass seeds in the afternoon, it is autumn, it should be easy to pick, and then I will let people loosen the ground first, and we will sprinkle it when we come back, so that in a few days I can have a piece of grass, I can lie down and bask in the sun! Haha, it's beautiful just to think about! ”
"Think beautifully! Bask in the sun and wait for next year. "Yunxi poured a scoop of cold water, this guy thought too simply, the lawn should be so easy to obtain, and it will not become the favorite of European nobles.
If you want a beautiful lawn, you have to put in a lot of effort not only to have land, especially since there were no automatic sprinklers and lawn mowers before. At the end of the day, the lawn doesn't have any value, and you can't even graze the cows. Poor peasants could not afford it, and it was impossible for them to waste their precious land and time on the lawn, so the lawn was absolutely a status symbol that no one could fake at the beginning, and majestically announced to those who passed by: "I am full of wealth and grain, and I am powerful, and there are countless lands and serfs, and there is no problem with green space." "The wider the lawn and the more perfectly manicured, the stronger the family.
The lawn is not only a lawn, but also a symbol of political power, social status and economic power in people's hearts, in ancient times, only the upper class could have it, and even in modern times, the lawn is also a symbol of people above the middle class. It is said that by walking along the street, you can quickly determine the wealth and status of each family from the size and maintenance of the lawn.
Of course, there is no need to tell the third prince about this, anyway, he doesn't understand.
"If you want to plant a lawn, you first have to clear the plot." Yunxi squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it carefully, the soil quality is not bad, the Yellow River alluvial well, there is more sand, the texture is loose, it is very suitable for planting things, the original owner of this house is still a love of growing vegetables, the soil is very fertile, and you can grow things without transformation. "This soil is good, first pull out this vegetable and send it to my house, then pull out everything else and throw it away, dig a foot into the ground, clean up the stumps and stones in it, and then level the soil, of course, the soil must be small and fine."
"And then there's this road, it's so ugly that it has to be dug up." Yunxi looked at the cement road under his feet with disgust, this thing is very popular now, and it is very valuable, and it can't be paved without certain family resources, but no matter how expensive it is, it can't hide its ugliness.
"Dig up the bluestone slabs, and plant grass in the middle, it should look good." The third prince is well-informed, so he is naturally not a mediocre person who follows the crowd.
"Dig two or three feet more, take green bricks on the side, and then fill it with stones and sand, and then lay stone slabs on it, and you don't need to cover it, just enough to get down." Yunxi was so busy that he almost forgot about the drainage, "My road is the same." ”
After discussing, it was noon, Yunxi wanted to invite the third prince to eat by himself, after all, it was not so close, but think about it, although people did not behave highly, but their identity was undoubtedly high, so it was better to be cautious, and then invite him when they were well prepared in the future.
So the two hired a carriage and went to Bianhe Street, where there was water, and the teahouse and restaurant were standing nearby, and the three princes led Yunxi straight to the largest and most expensive Yunlai Restaurant. arrogantly threatened to let Yunxi have a long insight.
As soon as Yunxi saw that it was similar to the door of the Yunlai Inn in Youzhou, he knew that this was his own property. When I went in, I saw that the decoration was very similar, but it was a little more luxurious than the one in Youzhou City, after all, it was the capital, and there were many rich people.
The dish is served quickly, first there is a fruit plate of eight grids, fresh fruits are fragrant round, real orange, pomegranate, orange, goose pear, milk pear, hawthorn, flower papaya, Yunxi took the orange to eat at a glance, came to ancient times for so long, she has never eaten this, the ancient transportation industry is underdeveloped, there is no place to buy this thing, and there are many nobles in the capital, and the food from the south to the north is gathered, and the remote area of Youzhou does not have to think about it.
The dried fruits are also eight-grid, and there are longan, fragrant lotus, quince, hazelnut, pine nuts, ginkgo, pear flesh, and jujube rings.
And then there's the preserves, ten of them.
Then there are "salty and sour" appetizers, the same ten.
Then, then he was stopped by Yunxi, "Serve the main dish, serve the main dish." "The posture of the three princes is completely in accordance with the highest banquet specifications of the Song Dynasty, Yunxi has learned about this, there are ten flavors of preserved meat below, and then another round of fruits, a round of new fruits, a round of carved nectar frying, a round of fragrant salty and sour, a round of long-tangled fruits, a round of preserved meat, so many ways for two people to eat, think about it and have a headache, forget it, hurry up and serve the main dish.
Under Yunxi's supervision, only three main dishes were ordered: boiled fish fillet and phoenix wings and goose paws and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. Then the crab soup and the sweet chestnut soup were added. After eating a meal, he was full, but he was also tired, which made Yunxi deeply feel that he was not the material for a rich life.
"That's how you eat every day? Not too much trouble? ”
The third prince was inexplicable: "It's the subordinates who are in trouble, what trouble am I doing!" ”
…… Forget that this guy is a local tyrant.
But she is not a local tyrant, seeing that there are a lot of candied fruits left, Yunxi roared arrogantly, "Xiao Er pack." ”
