Chapter 333: Bubble Wonton? Tour of the Humble Administrator's Garden (Part 1)
Before going to Humble Administrator's Garden, the two of them went to have breakfast first.
Bubble wontons are also wontons, which can be classified as small wontons.
However, the wrapping method is different from traditional wontons. The wontons are usually rubbed with meat sauce in the middle of the skin and pinched the skin.
The way to pinch wontons is different. Although the meat sauce is rubbed on the side of the skin, when pinching, you must wrap the little meat sauce and make the middle of the wonton an airbag.
It depends entirely on the chef's hands. If you wrap well, you will be bubble wontons. If you don't wrap well, you will be small wontons.
The filling of the bubble wontons is almost negligible, and very few, but after cooking, the little scarlet redness in the thin white skin is just right.
It is like the finishing touch of the painting, giving vitality.
Although appearance is important, taste is the key.
Big wontons are heavy fillings, and small wontons are delicious soup.
Whether the bubble wonton tastes good or not, the soup base plays an important role.
Li Luotang went to see the soup pot, which used a good soup made from the large round bones of pigs.
The steaming bubble wontons were delivered, and the two of them took spoons and scooped the soup first.
"This soup is fresh." Shangguan Shanshan drank three spoons in a row.
Li Luotang ate wontons, and when he bit his teeth, the skin cracked. After chewing it carefully, it slipped like cream and melted in his mouth.
The meat is fresh with the fragrance of onion, from the tip of the tongue to the cheeks, filling the entire mouth, making it mellow and long.
After eating one, Li Luotang immediately scooped another one to eat.
Such delicious wontons are not expensive.
Shangguan Shanshan said directly: "Affordable, so affordable."
After filling his stomach, the two of them went to the Humble Administrator's Garden.
The Humble Administrator's Garden has changed its owner many times, but now it is in the hands of a wealthy businessman. The merchant values profit, so he rented the garden out for people to visit.
After spending five cents, I entered through the garden gate and was the East Garden.
Paved with light-colored square stones, surrounded by three flour walls, and under the root of the east wall, a privet branch and leaves swaying.
"This tree can be used in paintings." Shangguan Shanshan commented.
After passing through the circular cave door, what comes to your eye is the main hall of the East Garden: Lanxue Hall.
Shangguan Shanshan shook the folding fan, "My brother, I'm going to test you, where does the word "lanxue" come from?"
Li Luotang is a playful person, and he also took some defense against Shangguan Shanshan, so he was happy to play with her. "These two words come from Mr. Taibai's 'Independent world, the spring breeze sprinkles orchids and snow', which means fragrance and purity, extraordinaryness. I wonder if I can answer correctly?"
Shangguan Shanshan coughed lightly, "My good brother is very talented."
Li Luotang opened the folding fan, covered his mouth and smiled, "Not as good as Brother Xian."
"Please, brother."
Li Luotang also stretched out the fan forward, "Brother Xian."
"Go in the same way, go in the same way."
The two of them walked politely into Lanxue Hall.
Lanxue Hall faces north and south, with a central hall inside, with a screen as a partition to divide the front and back.
In the back hall, several calligraphy and paintings of modern people were hung.
The content of calligraphy and paintings is closely linked to the word Lanxue.
Li Luotang saw a calligraphy with vigorous brushwork, smooth lines, and elusive.
Li Luotang noticed that this character was not written very well, but its postscript, which looked like a word "王".
"Old sir, who wrote this letter?" Li Luotang asked the old sir sitting in the corner.
"This was used by a scholar to consign." The old man smiled.
Shangguan Shanshan came over and said, "If you like it, buy it."
Li Luotang thought about it and said, "How much does it cost?"
"Five taels of silver." The old man smiled.
Li Luotang bought the painting without bargaining with him.
The old man said again: "Are you willing to keep Mobao?"
"Brother Xian, please." Li Luotang said with a smile.
Shangguan Shanshan raised her eyebrows, "Your brother doesn't have to be humble, please."
"Let's go together." Li Luotang said with a faint smile.
"Draw or paint snow?" Shangguan Shanshan asked.
"Listen to Brother Xian." Li Luotang smiled.
Shangguan Shanshan pondered for a moment, "I painted orchids in the snow, and my brother wrote the inscription, how about it?"
"Just listen to Brother Xian." Li Luotang began to think of the poems of orchids and snow.
Shangguan Shanshan picked up the pen and painted it, talked about a few strokes, and drew orchid leaves with one bend and one fold of thick black ink.
Render and transition with orange and orange to draw orchids that are blooming or budding.
Orchids and leaves echo each other and are arranged in an orderly manner.
The white space is left with light ink to outline the white snow.
"Brother Xian used his pen to be strong and powerful, and his sparse and dense were intertwined, and he was full of changes." Li Luotang praised him sincerely.
Shangguan Shanshan laughed and handed her the pen, "My brother, please write an inscription."
Li Luotang took the pen and wrote on the paper: Gao Zhai revealed Huabian, and knew that his son had a meaning. Orchids promoted the purity of the Qing dynasty, and snow showed the Zhensu.
"My brother's cursive writing is elegant and calm, elegant and decisive, and smooth and melodious." Shangguan Shanshan gave a thumbs up, "Okay!"
The old man praised: "The two young masters are good at painting and their poems are also good."
After soliciting the opinions of the two, the old man would frame the painting and hang it in Lanxue Hall.
After leaving Lanxue Hall and walking northeast, I saw the Furong Pavilion built by the water.
This pavilion is an excellent place to enjoy lotus in summer. Unfortunately, it is February and the lotus pond is empty.
There were other Confucian scholars in the pavilion, shaking their heads and chanting lotus poems to the lotus pond.
"The green lotus is covered with green water, and the lotus is covered with red and bright red. There are lotus roots underneath and lotus roots on top." Shangguan Shanshan chanted, "I will also give you a poem."
Li Luotang thought for a while and chanted: "The wind on the pond is coming, and the leaves are exposed in the waves. Who can open the green cover on the water surface, but the red makeup sings to pick lotus."
There is a zimuth lawn north of Furong Pavilion, and a double-eaved octagonal pavilion stands among the lawn, called Tianquan Pavilion.
In summer, you can enjoy the crape myrtle flowers in this pavilion. From the outside, there are two floors, but when you enter, you find that there is only one floor.
"Brother, come here and look up from here." Shangguan Shanshan stood under the corner of Tianquan Pavilion and waved.
Li Luotang walked over and looked up. The clouds were floating in the sky. Suddenly, it seemed that the towers were also in the clouds.
Leave Tianquan Pavilion and go to Sour Xiangguan.
Sour is the sticky one of Ji.
As the name suggests, the fragrance of sorghum is the fragrance of rice and wheat.
The four views of the Sour Sauce House, at the turn of summer and autumn, and planting sour Sauce in the fields of home are all while watching.
At this time, there were farmers farming in the fields.
"There is no idle field in the world..."
Before Shangguan Shanshan could finish singing, Li Luotang continued: "The farmer still starved to death."
"Oh, in such a beautiful scenery, it's wrong to recite this poem. It should... let me think about it." Shangguan Shanshan shook the fan and made a thoughtful thought.
"Let's go, let's go and see Buzhu Pavilion." Li Luotang pulled her and headed southwest.
There is a mountain of earth across the stream with a rectangular pavilion on it, named Buzhu Pavilion.
Looking down from the pavilion, you can see the scenery of the East Garden.
The two continued to play in the garden. When they arrived at the Fuling corridor, there were more than 20 leaking windows on the walls of the Fuling corridor. The flower windows were moved, and the scenery in the garden was constantly changing.
After passing through the black painted gate of the remnant, you will reach the Central Garden.
I saw the Yihong Pavilion. The pavilion was built against the wall. There was a round arch in the pavilion, which was filled with three sides. The corridor was winding like a rainbow in the sky.
The water and wood in front of the pavilion are vast and the bamboos on the pavilion are secluded.
The small bluestone bridge is named after the pavilion: Yihong Bridge.
Zhongyuan is a building with a pool as the center, distributed with staggered heights, which is quite distinctive of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The rockery on the Chi Island is winding, the water circles the mountains, and the top of the mountain is Waiting for Frost Pavilion and Snowy Yunwei Pavilion.
The two of them climbed up the stairs.

I like Humble Administrator's Garden very much. When the epidemic is over, I will go out for a trip.
