Chapter 509: The new painting on the small tree wall is not ancient, this person must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Now that it is getting bright, Mr. Qiao discovered that the mansion was originally located on a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides, Qingshui River and Huanhua Stream When we meet here, the scenery is extremely beautiful.
There are two entrances to the peninsula, one is the auto repair shop behind it, and the other is the stone bridge from outside Du Fu Thatched Cottage.
Going in from the auto repair shop is the back door of the mansion. The large platform and corridors you see after entering should actually be a traditional stage. On the lotus pond in front of the stage, there is a small stone bridge in the shape of "and" connected to it. The two pavilions in the pond are places for watching plays.
The whole forms the back garden of the mansion.
The small peninsula-shaped park in front of the mansion is the front.
In other words, the stone archway that must be passed from the thatched cottage to here after crossing the stone bridge is the real main entrance of the mansion.
Coming from there, we built stone embankments and stone railings along the two rivers. Now is the flood season, and the clear river water is already very close to the stone railings.
In addition to the small riverside road surrounding the peninsula, there is also an uphill "mountain road" that leads to the lawn in front of the mansion.
The two of them had now crossed the lawn, walked down the path, passed a gabled moon gate, and walked into a "small park" composed of jasmine, hibiscus, gardenia, and willow trees.
Under a ginkgo tree beside the stone fence near the river, Zhou Zhi and Mr. Qiao followed the singing and found Guan Tingting who was practicing her voice here.
"Tingting, let's go, it's time to eat." Zhou Zhi shouted.
"Brother Elbow, did you buy all this land?"
"Not entirely." Zhou Zhi thought about it and said: "It looks like on the drawing, within the ditch on the road next to the river, It's the land attached to the mansion, and the ditches, roads, and the dam stone fence outside are managed by the river department. "
"That's so big!" Guan Tingting was a little excited.
"It's okay. The foundation of the mansion is more than 200 square meters, the garden in the back is more than 300 square meters, and the front is more than 400 square meters. The total is about one and a half acres, which is actually not as big as the winery that Sister Xiaojuan'er bought."
“That No winery is as beautiful as this one!"
"That's because you didn't come last year." Zhou Zhi looked around and said, "When the Spring Festival came, this area was dilapidated and gloomy. The lotus pond was almost filled with mud. this The sweet-scented osmanthus trees are almost covered with wild vines. Now these have been repaired, as well as the stone steps, and many of the stones have been replaced. The surrounding gardenias, Milanese, and evergreens have all been pruned... This place has been through a process. Big renovation. "
"It means you have to be rich to live in a house like this!" Guan Tingting is at an age where she doesn't understand anything, but she thinks she knows everything. She thinks she has done this. Perfect characterization.
"If you have time to talk, think more about how to pass the interview." Zhou Zhi joked: "But Tingting, you are in the right state, tight but not tight, loose but not straddling, you have won an award People are indeed different.”
"When did I win an award?" Guan Tingting wondered.
"The first place in national singing in the first karaoke competition in Jiachuan County, do you think it is easy to get it?"
"Tch!"
Take Guan Tingting with you Back at the mansion, Guan Ma smiled and said, "Fang I’m annoyed now that I’m older. We don’t have to make a show and just eat breakfast here, right?” I ate it by staying at the pot!”
One sentence made Guan's mother laugh: "It was true when I was a kid, and I wasn't afraid of getting angry." The method of making meatloaf is very simple, just ferment the dough, season with dried tofu, wild onions, five-spice powder, soy sauce and sesame oil, wrap it up and fry it until done. .
At least that’s what Guan Ma said, but if the glutinous rice flour dumplings and pig cake dumplings are not counted, the dough that needs to be fermented is a painstaking task for Guan Ma’s meat pie. He reproduced it several times, but the results...the results were not very good.
“Not bad!” Zhou Zhi was full of praise after eating: “It’s been a long time since I’ve had Guan Ma’s meatloaf, and it’s still so delicious!”
“The elbow is just an exaggeration, it’s just a make-do. "I didn't even have time to make the layers." Guan Ma was very happy to hear this.
"Speaking of it, the biggest trouble here is buying food." Zhou Zhi did consider this issue: "There is also throwing away garbage."
"I have thought about it this morning. If I want to live here, I have to Go out on the weekend, prepare all the food for the week, and have a good relationship with the soldiers at the auto repair shop, and throw the garbage into their trash cans. "
"Yes," Zhou Zhi thought. " Another option is to get a kitchen waste compost bin and raise earthworms by the way. Earthworm, try to make organic matter into flower fertilizer."
Just as we were chatting, we heard the car horn blaring outside the moon gate of the auto repair shop. Zhou Zhi stood up: "They should be looking for us."
come At the Moon Gate, Station Commander Liu and Jiang Wu were seen standing together, seemingly reporting on their work. Jiang Shuyi was standing on the side wearing a thin dress. Her temperament and image were both excellent, which attracted the attention of several soldiers repairing trucks in the distance. Keep looking this way.
"Brother Wu! Shu Yi!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Brother Wu doesn't have to go to work today?"
"I'm just at work." Jiang Wu looked at Zhou Zhi and was not angry: "You kid can do it. Now I’m being controlled through my little sister.”
"How dare I?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Have you had breakfast? We have just started over there, let's have some together?"
"I wanted to eat before coming, but someone rushed me. ..."
"Brother!" Jiang Shuyi blushed.
"Then hurry up and have breakfast first." Zhou Zhi said: "Guan Ma made meat cakes, which are delicious. After eating, come and talk about work with Stationmaster Liu."
"We're almost done talking. " Stationmaster Liu smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, just talk more. Let’s talk more.”
This was Jiang Shuyi’s first time here. After entering the Moon Gate, she stood on the edge of the stage and pavilion and saw the large clear pool: “It’s so beautiful here!”
“This pool is the most satisfying.” Zhou Zhi said: "The project is also the biggest, isn't it? It's really troublesome for Brother Wu. There are also those flowers and trees on the peninsula. Transplanting and pruning are not small projects. How much decoration money will be spent soon? Brother Wu, please tell me."< br>
“You know your stuff, kid? "I know this pond is the most expensive." Jiang Wu said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't even know there was such a trick. The previous sanatorium was just a simple lotus pond. In summer, the water had to be pumped and changed constantly, just like that for a week. Still green.”
"This time, the island country sent some large koi from the Showa era to Wuhou Temple, and it also came with a koi pond. The pond and equipment came as a set. Only then did we realize that the fish pond can still be played like that!"
“It just so happened that the unit that built the koi pond was also our subordinate unit at first. Now it has been separated and became Party B. I thought that I can’t just forget it after learning it, so I asked him to They have practiced here and at the Beimen Sanatorium."
"Including the landscaping. There is a lot of redundant flowers and trees there, and I think of the witticism you said before. With..."
"The new painting on the tree wall is not old, this person must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
