Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 608
Fangshan Restaurant is located in Beihai Park, not far from Miantang House. The restaurant is located in Qiongdao Yilan Hall and Daoningzhai and other ancient buildings in Beihai Park. eating" feeling.

It was the first restaurant opened by a few cooks from the imperial dining room. Its main restaurant is the imperial dining room. It is said that it is the only restaurant in the capital that can restore the full banquet of Manchu and Han.

"After the re-opening and redecoration, the place is even more resplendent. Now there are three courtyards, fifteen large and small restaurants, and more than 500 seats." Ma Ye is probably also a frequent visitor, introducing to a group of visitors from Shudu.

The hall is decorated with dragons and phoenixes everywhere, plus large palace lanterns, bright yellow tablecloths, napkins, chair covers, and porcelain imitating the words "Longevity and Boundless" in the Qing Palace. In my eyes, it made the place vulgar instead.

"Yilan Hall is the Qiongge Pavilion in Xianshan Mountain, an offshore palace, where Emperor Qianlong gave banquets to civil servants," Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Why is it arranged here? It is for the purpose of 'removing the palace'."

"Qianlong's original intention should be to restore the elegant style of the literati here, to talk about calligraphy, painting and literature, and to sing poems with his courtiers at the banquet full of lakes and bamboos. It is unlikely to be like this now."

"It makes sense. The current Fangshan is to move the set in the palace to the outside of the palace to coax tourists." Ma Ye said: "Qianlong and Yongzheng actually have pastoral complexes, and often ordered painters to paint themselves in the palace. Among the landscapes and countryside, I am a Han Chinese scholar in the painting.”

"That mentality, however, is exactly the opposite of Fang Shan's arrangement."

"This is what Mr. Qian said in "The Besieged City". People inside want to get out, and people outside want to go in." Liu Zhengyun smiled and said, "One of the eight major sufferings of Buddhism is 'can't ask for it'!"

"Don't joke too much, gentlemen." Jiang Wu said with a smile: "I heard that this place was closed to the outside world before. For us, it was once 'can't ask for'."

"Today, coming here to have a meal is still something that many people can't ask for."

"Brother Jiang, do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Feng Cang asked, "Mr. Fei, when is Haitong's auction?"

"The day after tomorrow." Fei Guan said, "The original plan was to visit Haitong's Mr. Lin tomorrow."

"My arrangement is over." Jiang Wu said with a smile: "I just came to visit Brother Feng and Brother Pan, and the rest is to watch the fun with Elbow and Mr. Fei."

"We still have to visit the school." Zhou Zhi said, "Brother Yi is going to the Capital Institute of Foreign Languages ​​soon to study English, so we have to go there too."

"Shouwai? It seems that Lao Jia is in Shouwai?" Feng Cang asked.

"He's from the Department of German." Wang Shuo said, "He's pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with original philosophical books all day long."

"You don't need to work on the teachers and professors." Zhou Zhi waved his hands in fright. These people have too many contacts. No matter what you want to do in the capital, you can find a way to find people: "It's just to get familiar with the environment in advance."

"About these things?" Master Ma asked, "That's easy. I'll arrange it in the next few days!"

For Zhou Zhi, imperial cuisine is not as good as Huaiyang cuisine, or even Cantonese cuisine, which later generations often come into contact with.

In addition to the high-end ingredients, it is not even as good as the Sichuan cuisine of later generations.

However, the first-grade official swallow that was often eaten at banquets in later generations was eaten here for the first time in this life.

In addition, there are swallowtail peach blossom shrimp, Yipin tofu, and sea red shark fin, all of which are very good.

There are also stewed sea cucumbers with ginseng, stewed abalone lips with velvet antler, a few married elders are happy to eat, and Zhou Zhi's little boy chicken is trembling.

It is said that the Empress Dowager's favorite pea yellow and small steamed stuffed bun Zhou Zhi is also grateful, but Zhou Zhi is a little surprised by the various barbecues with ethnic minority characteristics.

In fact, many dishes here are not suitable for tonic during summer vacation, and even summer vacation is not the season for tonic!

However, Yu Bin couldn't stand it because he was enthusiastic and amateurish, this meal really made Zhou Zhi feel full and empty.

Master Qiao was also foolish and bold. Seeing that Zhou Zhi had only tasted stewed sea cucumber with ginseng and stewed abalone with velvet antler, he simply brought it over to help his brother consume it.

There is no need to arrange accommodation after coming out of Beihai. Yu Bin is very kind, saying that the Miantang house has been cleaned up, and the three big rooms in the west wing can be lived in.

Of course, you can’t miss this opportunity. Many of Mr. Ma’s gadgets in it are the high-quality goods found on the ground in the capital. Zhou Zhi felt that he didn’t see enough in the afternoon.

Just right.

Although it is said that "you don't look at jade under the lamp", it is only a targeted business. The two chat in the room, chatting about porcelain, basically when they talk about porcelain, Ma Ye says you wait, and then they go out of the house and hug each other for a while. Come back with something: "Elbow, take a look at this!"

The foundation of Ma Ye's collection has basically been laid now.

Of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, Zhou Zhi has not yet received any items from the Jun kiln.

Ma Ye also didn't receive it, but he has a four-panel hanging screen, and each screen is inlaid with ten fragments of Song Jun porcelain, a total of forty pieces.

Even if it is a fragment, it cost Ma Ye 600 yuan in [-], which is only half the price of the Yongzheng painting table bought by Feng Cang, which is equivalent to a worker's salary for five years.

The purple of Yuan porcelain gathers into a shape, and the purple of Song Jun permeates the whole body. "A family with wealth is not as good as a piece of Jun kiln", which refers to the purple Jun kiln.

Ordinary Jun kilns without red, even those with golden-yellow and sky-blue glaze, will be greatly reduced in value. There is another saying to describe it that "Jun does not hang red, and it will be poor for a lifetime."

Inside the complete vessel, Ma Weiwei has two plates. The two plates are more like the base of celadon glaze with leaf patterns printed on them. This is called "gathering into objects". feature.

It is not a star and a half away from the Jun kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty, which is full of sky blue, lilac purple, rose purple, and grape purple. It is as beautiful as the morning sun and the sunset, but it is all purple after all. Although it is not diffused and excessive, it is more like "purple spots". But it's already amazing.

This kind of opportunity is very rare. With the help of Master Ma, Zhou Zhi has made a long-term research on the only famous Song Dynasty porcelain that he has not owned yet. Beige edge, caramel edge, lightness, air bubbles, opacity, and even the texture of tire and glaze, all have a long-term understanding, which can be described as a rapid progress, from theory to practice, from entry to mastery.

Learning is like this, sometimes it is about accumulation, sometimes it is about opportunity, sometimes it is about inspiration, and sometimes it is about breakthrough.

Zhou Zhi has done a lot of research on Song porcelain. As for the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty in the same period, it can be said that apart from the Forbidden City, where the five famous kiln wares and their imitations of each generation are collected, the folks can learn and see. In fact, there are not many people who surpass him in the world.

Even if it is Jun Kiln, although he has never tried it himself, Zhou Zhi is basically well-versed in everything from theoretical research to high-definition large-scale pictures. Tonight was actually just a shake of the window paper.

But the happiest one is Ma Ye, who thinks that Zhou Zhi should be born to eat his own rice.
