Chapter 17 Visiting the Garden
The two didn't sleep all night, sat and chatted until dawn, and as soon as the morning dawned, the two planned to find Zhang Tianze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info just went out of the room, there was already a servant of Guiyunzhuang waiting by the door, and after the two went out, he said: "The owner of the village invites the two to meet in the main hall." ”
Bai Yuxiao and Meng Yu followed the servant, and after a while, they came to a living room, where Zhang Tianze and Mandarin Duck were sitting.
Seeing the two of them, Zhang Tianze smiled and asked the two to sit down.
Meng Yu said with a smile: "It's hard for Master Zhang Zhuang to like me, he sent someone to us early in the morning, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”
Of course Zhang Tianze likes Meng Yu, but what he likes is Meng Yu's martial arts, he wants to lead the martial arts heroes to attack the Tianshan faction, how can he not stammer with this beggar gang leader with the martial arts stunt of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending. Hearing that he didn't eat breakfast, he hurriedly clapped his hands, and someone came up with breakfast and placed it on the table, and after a while, the table was full of all kinds of breakfast.
Meng Yu is a gourmand who eats all over the world, when he sees these pastries, his eyes have narrowed into a slit with a smile, and now he is afraid that his mother is standing in front of him, and he doesn't know him.
"Bijab porridge, steamed crisp cheese with sugar, steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, Ruyi cake, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, pearl jade glutinous rice balls, lotus leaf soup, plum blossom fragrant cake, fragrant drink, rose crisp, tangram dim sum, flower blossom rich jade celery shrimp dumplings, Zhaoji abalone cup, crystal winter melon dumplings, these are all famous pastries. I've only heard of it before, but I've never eaten it. Meng Yu drooled while saying the name of the pastry.
Zhang Tianze smiled: "I haven't eaten it, you can eat more, you're welcome." He found that people were not polite at all, and before he finished speaking, Meng Yu had already finished eating a plate of Ruyi cakes.
Bai Yuxiao also sat down and drank a bowl of japonica porridge, plus a few pieces of plum blossom cakes.
Seeing these delicately made pastries, Meng Yu saw that Zhang Tianze was just watching them eat, so he said, "Master Zhang, why don't you eat it?"
Zhang Tianze smiled: "I have already eaten it." ”
Meng Yu got up and left his seat and said, "Then I won't eat it either." ”
Zhang Tianze asked, "Why?" ”
Meng Yu said: "You asked us to come here today and invited us to breakfast, but you didn't eat it yourself, just afraid of poison." ”
As soon as he said that it was poisonous, the Mandarin Duck Shuangxia hurriedly spit out what he had eaten in his mouth.
Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in the eyes of Gang Master Meng, Zhang is such a person, I'll show you." ”
Meng Yu said: "Eat a piece of each serving." ”
Zhang Tianze actually did eat breakfast, and now he eats one piece of everything early, a total of more than ten yuan, which makes him burp again and again.
A few people swept the table out in a few moments.
Meng Yu touched his round belly and said with a smile: "Gang Master Meng said, what is the matter with us early this morning." ”
Zhang Tianze hiccuped, finally held back, and said, "I'm afraid that you will stay in the village and be bored, and I want to take you to my Guiyun Village." ”
Guiyunzhuang is located on a hill 100 meters high, covering an area of about 30 hectares, full of pavilions and pavilions, and a corridor connects the various pavilions and courtyards together.
Zhang Tianze walked with Meng Yu, Bai Yuxiao and Mandarin Duck on a zigzag snake-shaped corridor, and talked about the process of building this villa with a huge amount of money on his face.
After a while they came to the door of the moon cave. Before entering the door, there was a pungent fragrance of flowers, and then from the door to see thousands of purples and thousands of reds, flowers are clustered, some flowers are shorter than grass, and some flowers are taller than people. Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "This is the garden, I will come to water the flowers in my spare time, enjoy the flowers, apply fertilizer or something." ”
Just as he was intoxicated, Bai Yuxiao Meng Yu and Mandarin Duck Shuangxia had already walked in.
Although Meng Yu knew that the flowers were beautiful, he didn't know the flowers, and he was not interested in knowing them, unless they were delicious when made into a dish.
Bai Yuxiao was full of interest, and for a person who grew outside the plug, it was difficult to see so many beautiful flowers, and he couldn't help asking, "Why are these flowers blooming together?"
Meng Yu, Bai Hong and Lan Ying also felt strange.
Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "It's mid-June, these are all flowers that bloom in June, and they are naturally blooming." ”
Meng Yu smiled: "Could it be that in July, you can't change the flowers that bloom in July?"
"That's right, these flowers are planted in a flower pot, so it doesn't take much effort to replace them. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Then aren't you planting flowers that are twelve months old." ”
Zhang Tianze laughed three times and said: "I don't know how to plant flowers, whenever the flowers are about to bloom, I will send someone to the flower-producing area a month in advance, transplant the flowers into a vase or with roots and soil, and transport them to Guiyunzhuang for planting for me to enjoy." ”
When the four of them heard this, they were shocked, they all knew that Zhang Tianze was very rich, and they couldn't imagine that they would be so extravagant, comparable to Yang Guifei wanting to eat fresh lychees, and transport the whole lychee tree from the south to Chang'an.
Bai Yuxiao glanced at the flowers a few times and said, "Since you are a flower lover, can you tell us about the flowers you have collected in June?"
Zhang Tianze smiled: "Then I'm going to be ugly in front of the flowers." ”
He pointed to a tree one foot high, with white flowers and said: "This is the white orchid, I asked someone to transport it back from Lingnan, this flower is not only extremely fragrant, its pollen can also be made into sachets, but also can be scented tea, so that the tea has the aroma of orchids, this flower can also be extracted from the extract for medicinal purposes, can cure cough." ”
Meng Yu smiled: "I thought this flower would look good, but I didn't expect there to be these doorways." ”
Lan Ying saw that a flower had more than 100 petals, and said with a smile: "I know this flower, it's called peony." ”
Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "Mrs. Bai has a good eye, this is the flower of love, peony, I should ask Brother Bai Hong to pick one and give it to you." ”
When Bai Hong heard this, his face turned red and he kept coughing.
Lan Ying couldn't help but say with disdain: "Just now Master Zhang said that orchids cure coughs, do you want me to pick a few orchids for you to chew." ”
Bai Hong stopped coughing, pointed to a pot of flowers and asked, "What kind of flower is this?"
Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "This is the azalea, this flower has a variety of colors and blooms in all seasons. ”
Meng Yu smiled: "Aren't there any flowers that can be boiled and eaten?"
Zhang Tianze said: "The white orchid can be boiled and eaten, the petals of the white magnolia are thick and large, if you wrap it in wet flour and put it in the oil pan to fry, it is sweet and delicious." ”
Meng Yu smiled: "Then I want to taste it." ”
Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "Gang Master Meng wants to eat, I'll ask someone to get a plate to taste now." ”
When it comes to eating, Meng Yu naturally feels good. So Zhang Tianze instructed the accompanying servants to bring a pot of tea, and instructed the servants to pick some orchids and make a dish of magnolia slices.
In the center of the garden there is a pavilion with a couplet on the pillars of the pavilion.
"The young woman's sideburns are still better than snow, and the dusk moon is even more fragrant. Bai Yuxiao couldn't help but read aloud.
Zhang Tianze said: "This couplet is talking about a kind of flower, just in the garden, you may guess what kind of flower?"
Meng Yu smiled: "This is not simple, the snow is white, and it is very fragrant, it is the orchid Luo that is about to be made into a dish." ”
Everyone thought it was when they heard it, and Zhang Tianze smiled: "It can be regarded as it, but this couplet is about jasmine." ”
When they came to a pot of flowers, they saw white flowers blooming, white and snowy, with a strong fragrance.
Meng Yu praised: "This flower is more than that Bailan, I want to eat a plate of jasmine cauliflower." ”
Zhang Tianze said: "I'm afraid today, forget it, it's better to make a pot of jasmine tea." Isn't it beautiful to drink tea and enjoy flowers. ”
Everyone else thought it was a nice treat.
Enjoying the flowers and drinking tea in the pavilion, the three of them saw some strange flowers, Western flowers, and Oriental flowers.
When they got tired of watching, the five of them returned to the serpentine corridor.
After walking a few feet away, I came to the door of the moon cave again. What catches your eye is a series of rockeries, and dense pine trees grow in the cracks of the rockeries. Between the rockeries, there is a bluestone road, and those pine branches stretch out to block the sunlight, making this bluestone road appear to have a winding effect.
A few people walked on the stone road, and Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "These trees are the welcome pines that I asked people to dig up on the cliffs of Wudang Mountain, and hundreds of people died to get these pine trees." And these rockeries are made of Taihu Lake stones that I asked people to transport back from Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, and the shape is strange, and you will find it interesting to see it. ”
After Bai Yuxiao and others saw it, they only felt that these rockeries piled up by Taihu Lake stones were in a variety of shapes, colorful, or strange, or colorful, or beautiful, or of good quality, or exquisitely clear, delicate and elegant, or simple and simple, dignified and deep, extraordinary, pleasing to the eye, and long-winded. Never repeat, one stone and one ingenious idea, as if natural.
Zhang Tianze came to a rockery and said with a smile: "Look at what this rockery looks like." ”
Meng Yu took a closer look, only to see that the rocks on both sides of the rockery were unfolding upward, and there were stones protruding between the two sides, like an eagle's head, the low end was thin, and the whole rockery seemed to be crumbling, but it was actually as stable as Mount Tai.
Bai Yuxiao said with a smile: "This rockery is like an eagle that wants to fly down, interesting." ”
Others agree with him.
Zhang Tianze praised: "That's right, the white hero is really wise, what do you look at this image again?"
Meng Yu looked more carefully this time, and saw that there was a stone tilting upward, and there was a depression, like a big mouth, which was very terrifying.
Meng Yu smiled: "I know this, this is a squatting tiger, it should be called Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest." ”
After looking at it, others also felt like a squatting tiger, squatting on a stone, roaring wildly towards the mountains and forests in the distance.
Gao Tianze clapped his hands and said, "Gang Master Meng really has eyesight. ”
So the five of them walked on the bluestone road while guessing the shape of the rockery.
I don't know how far I walked, I guessed the shape of a few rockeries, and a small bridge appeared in front of me, and there was a small river under the bridge, and the river flowed down from a rockery in front.
Bai Yuxiao was puzzled and asked, "Guiyunzhuang is on the top of the mountain, and there is no high place around, how can there be a mountain spring flowing out?"
Zhang Tianze said with a smile: "The white hero really has a unique vision. But this is not mountain spring water, but river water under the mountain. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, all four of them were shocked. I only heard that water flows to low places, how can there be a reason for water to flow to high places.
