While she was preparing dinner, Rong Jingchen walked around the house.
He first looked around the main house in the second courtyard where he was now. The highest point in the middle was about 10 meters high, and a dragon-shaped crystal lamp hung down, emitting a faint light.
You can tell at first glance that the first floor is the living room. There is only one thing placed in this middle room. On a large round rosewood table stands a jadeite carved 'Qilin Offering Good Luck'. This jadeite ornament is the largest one he has ever seen, and it can be compared with the royal tribute.
Rong Jingchen guessed correctly, this ornament was the one that Lin Ximan found in the royal treasure back then.
On the west side, where he is sitting now, there are solid wood furniture, a set of finely carved huanghuali wood, which is also the wood used in their home.
The largest one is a three-seater, with elegant and luxurious carvings. There is a kang table on it, and a flower table next to it. Now there is a shallow jade flowerpot on each of them, containing soil-less cultivated daffodils, which are in full bloom now, with a pleasant fragrance.
There are two single seats on each side of the lower room, with high backs and thick legs. There is a small table in the middle with a plate of fruit on it.
Inside the moon gate is the restaurant. The dining table is very large, about two meters long, with a revolving table in the middle and 15 hollow carved armchairs around it.
He could see that his partner liked these exquisitely carved objects. All of these solid wood furniture had exquisite carvings, even on the dining table top.
Behind it is the bathroom, the facilities inside are also very advanced, more advanced and beautiful than those he has seen abroad.
There was a veil hanging on the moon gate on the east side, and behind it were a few musical instruments and wooden stools, which seemed to be used for performances.
A wooden staircase against the wall connected to the second floor. He walked up slowly. There were lattice cloud-patterned windows on the north-south direction of the second floor, and the entire west wall was covered with bookshelves, which were also filled with books and file baskets.
The several large sofas in the middle are very eye-catching. You can tell at a glance that the owner is a lazy person who doesn't even sit properly when reading.
Behind the sofa is a railing, from which you can clearly see the main hall on the first floor. Going around the railing, you will reach the west side of the second floor, which is a lounge with a chaise longue, a mahogany coffee table, and several embroidered cushions. There is also a small door on the side, which you can tell is the bathroom without even looking. Looking down from here is a construction site that has been shut down.
When you first enter the second courtyard, you will see hanging flower columns, archways, and corbels, all of which are newly painted. You will then go up five steps to enter the main room.
Entering the third courtyard, there is a huge Taihu stone placed in the middle, which I think is used as a screen.
There is a door on the east wall between the third and fourth courtyards, which leads to the east courtyard. I saw it from the window of the study on the second floor. Inside is an unfinished house. Only the base and the main wall have been built, and the wood work has not started yet.
I had no idea what was being built on the west side. I only saw a large pit and some platforms that I couldn't tell what kind of house it was.
The fourth courtyard is where Lin Ximan lives. There are two large fish tanks in the courtyard. You can't see the fish in the winter. There are trees in all the courtyards. It's hard to tell what kind of trees they are now, as they are all bare. But he can guess roughly, they are just sweet-scented osmanthus trees, pomegranate trees, crabapple trees and other trees with good meanings.
The fifth courtyard was also a two-story building, and he just walked around the courtyard and came out. He walked around all the courtyards from the outside and did not go into any of the rooms.
Judging from the current scale of his little partner's house, it is more capitalist than a capitalist. The exquisiteness of the carved beams and painted buildings is more delicate than those made with ordinary old-fashioned craftsmanship. Fortunately, the policy has changed now, otherwise it would have been sealed off and relocated long ago.
Seeing his girlfriend's mansion, Rong Jingchen couldn't help but change his plan. His girlfriend's family conditions were too good, and in addition to his own family background, he also had to work harder.
First of all, this face that she loves must be protected, at least it cannot be disfigured before the person is dragged into the nest.
When he returned to the restaurant, Lin Ximan had already set the table for the hot pot. Eating hot pot is the most comfortable thing in winter.
Each person has a small alcohol pot, and on the revolving table in the middle are small condiments and dishes, as well as several kinds of drinks, all of which are the best flavors to go with hot pot. It's a bit like a buffet.
The hand-cut lamb is done by a household robot. Even though it can’t cook, its knife skills are very good and it can cut the lamb into any thickness you want.
Kyoto people are familiar with hot pot, but they didn't expect that they could eat so many kinds of vegetables in the middle of winter.
There are enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemums, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, rapeseed, hand-cut lamb from various parts, beef balls, tripe, prawns, squid, etc.
"How do you have so many vegetables?" Rong Jingchen wondered.
"I asked someone to build a greenhouse in the suburbs, where I can grow vegetables. So what vegetables do you eat in winter?" Lin Ximan was prepared. She actually had a piece of land in the suburbs where she built a greenhouse, and she grew cash crops in it, just to do her favor.
"There aren't many vegetables to buy in the middle of winter. They are all cabbages, potatoes, radishes and the like stored in the fall. How much does it cost to build this greenhouse?"
Greenhouses have existed since ancient times, but the cost is too high for ordinary people to build. It is the same now. In winter, ordinary people in the north can only eat these things.
Rong Jingchen was talking about the food he had when he was in the army. His grandfather had vegetables, and although they were not as abundant as what Lin Ximan had, they were not lacking either.
The country's greenhouse cultivation is still in the exploratory stage, but that is in the south, and even less in the north. The vegetables in the few greenhouses can only be supplied to the top leaders.
