Chapter 39 Zesheng Treasure Palace

The Chinese and Tang Dynasty were in a period of expansion, and foreign wars were won and lost, so there were many people who enjoyed the dividends of the war, and Xijing was not as prosperous and extravagant as Xiangfan, and there was a feeling that there was money and no place to use it in a short period of time.

There are many people who have been looking forward to the opening of this place for a long time at this time, there is a way that you get what you pay for, this Wanshou Plaza made by Lin Gongzi is indeed unique, and the Zesheng Treasure Hall he made must also be very interesting.

Finally, Lin Fengjin announced the opening on the third day of the next month, but on the twentieth day of this month, he invited Mr. Dongshan Goat and several important ministers of the court who were good friends to try it first. Of course, these people will definitely not lose face, and they all say that they must arrive on time.

After entering the door, Lin Fengjin first took these court ministers to appreciate the exotic style of the Japanese style, speaking of which the territory of this place is limited, but it just corresponds to the narrow pattern of Japan, that is, it is dominated by mountains and rivers, exquisite and meticulous, and very condensed in reproducing natural scenery. And pay attention to the gardening craftsman, very poetic and philosophical, forming an extreme "freehand" artistic style.

Unlike Chinese garden flowers and plants, the Japanese style is dominated by plants, and the first thing to see is the "Stone Garden".

The main planting in this courtyard is evergreen trees, cleanliness is the first priority, and moss should grow on the courtyard and stones, so that the tea garden forms a "quiet" atmosphere. On the one hand, the use of flowers and trees is due to the imitation of ink painting, and on the other hand, it also has its positive significance in expressing quiet and quaint feelings with colorlessness. The arrangement of stone lamps and water bowls in the tea garden, especially the flying stone dressing stone, has been further developed.

Then came to the relatively large "three island pool", here is actually a small pool of two or three hundred square meters, there are three islands in the center of the pool, there are bridges between the islands, the main garden road around the pond leads to the tea garden depression and the pavilion courtyard house building, the pond bank twists and turns, the bridge, the stone lamp, the squatting and so on have a unique artistic conception.

The most rearly old is a very unique "dry landscape" landscape. The dry landscape is decorated with stones to symbolize the mountains, and the white sand is used to symbolize the lake and the sea, and is dotted with only a few shrubs, mosses, and ferns.

It is made up of seven or eight statues of stones of various sizes and large gray pebbles. The stones are divided into five groups in groups of two or three, but no matter which angle you look at, you will see one of the stones. The stone group is bordered with moss, and the concentric ripples made of rakes are outside.

At first, it seems to be a smile, but if you look at it a few times, you will find that there are thousands of rocks and ravines in the square inch of land, and in the eyes of the practitioner, they are the ocean, mountains, islands, waterfalls, and the world of sand and life. And the plants in it are mostly made of fine grass, bamboo, vines, sheep's teeth, mosses, flowers are rare, very plain.

Lin Fengjin only hastily made it at this time, but there was already a strong Dongying flavor coming to his face, and the ministers who came here were also feeling this unique exotic style for the first time. It's a bit of a lingering feeling.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Fengjin led the minister, who was a little tired from walking, to the winding path next to him.

The gravel road here is also a bit chic, and when you walk on it, the soles of your feet will be sore. But there is an indescribable comfort, but there is a sign next to it that says "Yue Lu", to the effect that the foot massage is deliberately carried out with stones, which can play a role in health preservation.

A group of people walked along the gravel path under the light of the flat red lantern. In the fragrance of flowers, I came to a house with a distinctly Japanese style, but inside the house was divided into small rooms, covered by beaded curtains. Inside each room is an astonishingly large round wooden basin, almost like a small pool, and although the wooden basin is brushed with glue, it has a faint pine aroma.

And it's not like an ordinary bathroom, as soon as you go in, you feel damp and musty, but it's extraordinarily dry, but because there is a ground dragon under the bathroom in advance, once the bath is completed, it will be quickly wiped clean, and then the earth dragon will be born, and the moisture will soon be completely evaporated.

Seeing that the guest had come in, the servant next to him pushed the cart in, and there was a heat from afar, and the copper basin in the cart was filled with fist-sized red-hot stones, and he threw these stones into the big wooden barrel, and it was suddenly steaming and smoky, and the servant tested the water temperature with water, and said that it was okay.

At this time, under the service of the charming maid next to him, he first drank a glass of light sake to invigorate his blood, then took off his shoes and wide clothes, and then picked up the wooden steps next to him, entered the barrel, and sat down on the chaise longue that had been pre-arranged.

The water had been submerging up to their necks, and the adults were all a little old, and they were still a little tired before, but at this time, under the soaking of the hot water, they only felt that the 108,000 pores on their bodies were about to open up, and they were so comfortable that they almost groaned.

At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and the people who came in were all fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and shy, and the little girls with delicate faces, who were only hazy with white gauze on their bodies, walked to the side of the big wooden barrel and climbed the stairs, and slid into the water like a little mermaid, and pinched the muscles and muscles of the adults.

At this time, there were two maids kneeling beside them, holding white towels and clogs on the plate in their hands, and another maid standing beside them, holding clear rice wine in their hands, pouring a full lamp, which was naturally taken by the woman in the barrel and handed to the lips of the adults in the barrel.

Under this bucket, there is a special warm sun charm, and the water temperature will not drop, but will continue to rise steadily. At this time, the roof slowly moved silently from left to right, revealing a moonlit and starry night sky. And there was a sudden burst of low and melodious music outside, as if it was an erhu, but there was a deep hoarse sound, as if it was a gourd silk, and it was full of atmosphere, full of exotic atmosphere.

The invited Taijoji Cheng was fascinated by the way of music, and found that this instrument was unheard of, so he hurriedly called the performer, but found that the body of the instrument was covered with cat skin, and played with a special plectrum.

After the top kaiseki bath was almost steamed, the adults were wrapped in loose and comfortable snow-white Tang clothes, but they went to the next door to lazily lie down, just after taking a hot bath, sweating, it was the heart that beat faster and didn't want to move, and the sleepiness also came.

At this time, there are hired pedicure craftsmen to do a "foot kung fu", by the way to relax the acupuncture points on the body, at this time the pedicure is in Yangzhou, Suzhou is extremely popular, Xijing is not yet popular, so most adults are still the first time to appreciate this Jiangnan craft.

If you don't want to sleep, there are naturally many books on the desk next to it, click on one at will, you can read it yourself, and there will be a beautiful maid to pull the screen partition on both sides, and suddenly form a private space, she will read the above article in a low voice.

There are a lot of calluses and corns on the feet of these adults, especially Dongshan Goat, who usually likes to exercise, so there are many calluses and corns on his feet, which is troublesome. Watching it be quickly scraped off, and then pressing the acupuncture points on the legs by the way, I only felt that my feet seemed to have been removed from a layer of shoes, which was extremely relaxed.

Originally, after Dongshan Goat learned Lin Fengjin's identity, he was stunned for half an hour, and he still sighed after the last moment, and he still didn't say anything when he met Lin Fengjin. At this time, the deadlock was finally broken, as if the nephew seemed to be honest and unkind, and asked Lin Fengjin to arrange a room here for a long time on the spot, and said with a smile to the rest of the old friends that the rest of the enjoyment doesn't matter, this pedicure service must be done once a month, and the feeling of this loose foot is a comfort that has never been experienced.

Liu Chang, who recommended Lin Fengjin, was naturally also invited, and the elderly people were hammered and pinched their feet when they had pedicures, which was extremely comfortable, and they felt sleepy, so they simply went directly to the past, and after waking up from a nap, they only felt that their bodies were refreshed, and their spirits were refreshing, and they couldn't help but praise it.

Of course, after this series of preparations, it is the turn to eat, enter the small Japanese-style private room with a paper and bamboo structure, and then sit on the tatami mats, and the dishes such as gimbap, high-quality fish belly, tempura, and hot spring eggs are delivered in turn.

The catering merchants at that time did not realize the necessity of exquisite dining utensils, and at this time Lin Fengjin took the lead in using them. For example, those plates with the shape of mountains, rivers, boats, and islands, and colorful tableware, have never appeared before.

The first thing to be sent is the wooden fish roll, the black boat-shaped plate is padded with green vegetable leaves, and the top is as thin as the red fish belly of the cicada's wings, but it is planed out with a planer after being frozen and hard, if the flower roll is indeed a lot of color, and the plate is also engraved with a flying small letter: 'Red skin and white li, light can be blown up, thin as cicada wings, compared with two by two, pan with old mash, and pepper root, the entrance ice melts, to the will' praise words.

The tempura is served in a green bamboo basket and fried in oil until it is snow-white and powdery, and it seems that there is no water at all, and it scatters into a faint powder with a "bang" in the mouth, which is endlessly evocative.

Sushi looks like a rice ball cabbage, but after eating it, you will know that the rice should be carefully selected, and there seems to be a slight vinegar in it, and it is wrapped in kelp, which is doubly refreshing to eat. And the roe sprinkled on it is also chewed down, and it will burst in the mouth one after another, which is very distinctive. (To be continued......)
