Chapter 125: The Lotus Terrace Overturned (2/3 Alliance Leader Terryf)
After solving the house problem, Gao Yu left the store and housekeeping business.
It was still early, and I didn’t want to go back to Anle Hall. But I had already gone to the tile yesterday, and when I went there again today, I seemed a little frequent and I might be discovered. Since I received Ma Pozi’s warning, Gao Yu has become extremely careful.
If you don’t go back to Anle Hall, you can’t go down the tiles.
Gao Yu returned along the way and came to Zhong'an Bridge.
Looking east, his heart suddenly moved and he immediately stepped onto Zhong'an Bridge.
Gao Yu only saw the three words Zhong'anqiao in the letter left by Qiu Miaofa.
Based on his understanding of Hangzhou, he instinctively thought of Xiawazi. But in fact, there is not only one Xiawazi near Zhong'an Bridge. Opposite Xiawazi is Xingqingfang, east of Zhong'an Bridge, and there is also Jiaoqinfang. It sounds like it still follows the market system of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but in fact, the wall no longer exists, forming a residential area.
In terms of prosperity, these residential areas are far inferior to Tizi.
But there are still many places to visit in these residential areas, but they are not as dense as those in the tiles.
Gao Yu has an impression of the teaching Qinfang.
He vaguely remembered that he had passed by Jiaoqinfang.
There are also many tramps, wine shops and shops nearby.
Like Xiawazi, Jiaoqinfang is also near Zhong'an Bridge, or...
He walked across Zhong'an Bridge and in a short while he arrived at Jiaoqinfang.
There are indeed not as many people here as the top and bottom tiles, nor are they as lively as the bottom tiles. However, there are also many shops and passers-by, which is quite prosperous.
Most of the streets of Hangzhou are straight, not as twisted and turned like Bianliang. Qiantang Gate is the west gate, and Dongqing Gate is the east gate. Between the two city gates, there are two bridges, Yanqiao and Zhong'an Bridge, which spans two rivers, forming a street.
However, there are three street names on this street.
The section from Zhong'an Bridge to Qiantangmen is called Qiantangmen Street; the section from Zhong'an Bridge to Yanqiao is called Zhong'an Bridge Street, which is also the shortest distance among the three streets. Cross Yanqiao and head east to Dongqingmen Street, it is called Dongqingmen Street.
Gao Yu stood by the street, but his eyes fell on the alley diagonally opposite.
That alley, called Lingzhi Lane, is an old alley.
I remember when my master was there, he passed by here and looked inside a few times.
In Gao Yu's memory, Ganoderma Lane is very deep, and the alleys are twisted and twists, and can extend all the way to the streets of Jiaoqinfang.
There is a guild hall in the alley called Qingxi Hall.
It is said that it was a fund-raising establishment by wood paint merchants from Qingxi County, Muzhou.
Muzhou is rich in wood lacquer, which is also the most important part of the flower and stone gram. Hangzhou is the concentration of flower and stone gram. The strange flowers, plants and rare stones collected from various places will be concentrated in Hangzhou first, and then transported to the north through the canal. Therefore, the merchants from Qingxi County established this Qingxi Pavilion, which mainly entertained vendors from Muzhou.
However, Gao Yu also heard that Qingxi Pavilion was unable to make ends meet, so the wood paint merchants in Qingxi County changed their business strategy and turned the guild that was originally built to entertain Muzhou vendors into a casino, and the business was very prosperous.
Casino?
Gao Yu sat down in a tea shop on the side of the road and waved to a tea doctor wearing Huang Shan, wearing a black hat and holding a tea set.
During the Song Dynasty, tea culture no longer belonged to the powerful class, but spread to the people.
Therefore, in many cities, including Bianliang and Hangzhou, there are many tea shops and tea shops, and the business is particularly prosperous. In this case, another profession was born, which is the profession called "tea, rice, wine, doctoral student".
Such people need to undergo special training, master rich tea culture, proficient tea making skills, and have outstanding eloquence.
“Can the guests have tea?”
"Yes, I want a glass of snow-soaked plum blossom wine."
Gao Yu talked to Dr. Tea in Hangzhou dialect.
When the tea doctor heard this, he immediately smiled and gave Gao Yu a thumbs up.
Snow soaked plum blossom wine is not a wine, but a kind of tea drink specially prepared in summer in Hangzhou.
Take the purest storage in winter to store. When the winter is about to pass and early spring is not yet here, pick the petals of plum blossoms, soak them in snow water, and then store them in a very special way to keep them fresh. In this way, the snow water is pure and sweet, and invades the fragrance of plum blossoms. After entering Sichuan, people will take out the snow water that has already blended with the fragrance of plum blossoms, boil it, and brew it into tea. The pure and sweet snow water, the fragrant smell of plum blossoms, and then blend the charm of tea, which is extraordinary.
Tea shops in Hangzhou all over the world store this snow-soaked plum blossom wine every winter and then sell it during the summer.
The price of a pot of snow-soaked plum blossom wine is about 80 cents. The cost of tea and tea doctors is at least more than 100 cents, which is considered a high consumption in Hangzhou. Therefore, most people who can order snow-soaked plum blossom wine have some savings. Otherwise, they would have to make tea and refill it repeatedly, and drink the tea like white water.
This is a big customer and knows how to drink tea.
"Can you need to measure tea?"
"Just Qibao Lecha."
"Customer, wait."
This Qibao Lei Tea is also a unique tea in Hangzhou tea shops. It is made of precious raw materials and is paired with snow-soaked plum blossom wine. The taste is even more intoxicating.
During his lifetime, as long as the old Taoist priest had some savings, he would come to the restaurant to drink the last time.
Later, he simply made his own snow-soaked plum blossom wine in the Jade Emperor Temple, and then brought seven treasure roe tea, which he ate by himself, and was even more free.
Gao Yu followed the old Taoist priest, so he also knew this combination.
Dr. Tea sat down, arranged the tea utensils, and began to perform tea art for Gao Yu.
After the snow-soaked plum blossom wine is boiled, it is brewed high and low into the tea set. The tea soup is attractive in color and emits a strong tea aroma.
There is also a trace of the fragrance of plum blossoms in the fragrance of tea.
That feeling makes people feel refreshed.
A sip of tea is filled with endless aftertaste. The most amazing thing is that it is a hot hot tea, but after entering the stomach, a hint of coolness lingers in the body. This is also the most special place for plum blossom snow wine, and it is therefore expensive.
Gao Yu drank a cup of tea, revealing a comfortable look.
To be honest, this tea is not as good as the master's, but it is above the standard.
"Doctor, why is there a shrine at the entrance of the alley?
Gao Yu signaled Dr. Cha to continue, then made a random statement and asked.
The shrine he mentioned is the shrine at the entrance of Ganoderma lucidum alley. The shrine is about three feet above the ground and about five feet high, which is extremely eye-catching. Under the shrine is a three-foot platform made of rammed earth and covered with stone slabs. A statue of the god is enshrined in the shrine, which is lifelike. At first glance, the statue of the god is not like the Song people, but its eyebrows are more like the Hu people in the Western Regions, but its clothes are also decorated with Song people.
The statue of the god is tall on the lotus platform, solemn and solemn.
The lotus platform throne is mostly commonly used in Buddhism. However, this statue of god is obviously not like a monk, and it always gives people a feeling of being a bit inappropriate.
What made Gao Yu curious the most was the shape of the lotus platform throne.
