Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 907
Even Zhang Dai, who is used to seeing big scenes, felt shocked, especially standing in front of the bay window, the feeling of being outdoors without being exposed to wind and rain was something they had never experienced before.

Outside the large clear glass panel, there are flowers as fresh as in front of his eyes, butterflies are flying on it, and the sun is mottled and mottled down through the wisteria trellis. He involuntarily reaches out to touch the flowers outside the window, his fingertips are Blocked by the glass, Zhang Dai was stunned for a long time before he let out a sigh.

Zhao Yingong had already expected it. Such a large all-glass bay window, which is almost like a sun room, has never been built in Lingao or Guangzhou.Not everywhere, even in the 21st century.The elders will find it rare to see it, not to mention that it is rare to see aboriginals with large-scale glass.

The guests and hosts were divided into Victorian style armchairs.I saw a maidservant serving tea on a red and Japanese lacquer tray.Zhang Dai has always been a "beautiful maid", and he thought that with Mr. Zhao's style, all the beautiful maids in his family must be kept in the outside world--Guangdong has always had the custom of "keeping maids" and "containing maids". After seeing it, she was greatly disappointed: the girl in front of her was not amazing, she was extremely ordinary.From the perspective of walking posture, it is even more natural.It was very strange in my heart.

The tea served in Fenghua, everyone thought it was probably the same "Australian water" drink as before, but they didn't expect that this time it was a serious tea.A strong and fragrant tea scent wafted in the air—it was completely different from the scents of Longjing tea and Shuizhu tea that they usually drink, and it was more intense.

The tea leaves are placed in a very small glass teapot, which is almost full, and there are four small bull's-eye teacups beside it, which are also made of glass, and have been filled with tea.The tea water is not the common light blue color, but a deeper amber color.

"Come on, please drink this tea while it's hot." Zhao Yingong said.

Wu Zhixiang claimed to have seen all kinds of "Australian enjoyment" in Ziminglou, but this is the first time to see this almost black tea.After sniffing, I only feel the strong aroma, which penetrates into the heart and spleen.After picking it up and taking a sip, I felt that the tea tasted mellow and sweet, with a faint orchid fragrance.

Everyone tasted it, and they were all amazed.Zhang Dai said with a smile: "My brother thinks he is the most delicious person in the world. He has tasted all the specialties in the world. I didn't expect such tea to exist in the world!"

Zhang Dai's delicious food is well-known among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.In particular, he is also keen on "tasting all the flavors of the world", and spares no effort to collect famous specialties from all over the world.

Zhao Yingong has read his "Tao An Meng Yi" and seen the long food list he listed, so the food served to guests is absolutely impossible to see in the local area.

This tea is oolong tea that Wu Nanhai entrusted the trading department to purchase new tea from Fujian, recruited more than a dozen tea workers, and made it according to modern tea-making techniques.At the same time, black tea is also produced.

Oolong tea is semi-fermented tea, and its taste is lighter than fermented black tea, which is more suitable for the taste habits of Chinese people.Wu Nanhai specially brought some catties for Zhao Yingong to promote locally—once the promotion is successful, he plans to sell "Hainan Oolong Tea" on a large scale through Wanyou.

Zhao Yingong smiled and said: "This tea is called Oolong tea, and it is produced at the top of Limu Mountain in Qiongzhou."

The climate in Hainan is not suitable for growing tea, and the tea is obviously from Fujian, and Lingao is just processing it.But Wu Nanhai, Skaide and Li Mei all knew that tea must have a certain geographical gimmick.Of course, Fujian tea is not as good as places like "Limu Mountain in Hainan Island".

"Oh?" Sure enough, when Zhang Dai heard that the tea came from a barbaric place, he immediately became interested, "Qiongzhou is a barren state in the southern border. It is said that there are Li Man in it. How can there be tea? Could it be that Li Man also grows tea? ?”

Zhao Yingong had already prepared a whole piece of advertising soft text in his stomach - it was not his writing, but the pens of the big library who made it. It is like a fairyland, and then it is rendered as something. In the deep forest of Limu Mountain, there is a lonely rock surrounded by cliffs, with [-] wild tea plants on it.It's just that the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mists throughout the year, and there are often miasmas that hurt people. Only in spring and autumn each year, there are a few days when the clouds clear and the fog clears, and tea can be picked.The able-bodied people among the Li people will try to climb up the rock and pick young leaves.

"...It's just that the time is very short. When the Limans see the fog in the mountains, no matter how much they harvest, they must immediately go down with a rope and leave the valley. If they are a little late, they will die if they get caught in the miasma. undoubtedly."

The nonsense was so logical that everyone was fascinated and sighed from time to time.Zhao Yingong thought that such articles really did not distinguish between ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.Immediately, they talked nonsense about how the tea leaves could not be transported out of the mountains after they were picked. Later, I don’t know what method the Australians used to transport the tea leaves from the mountains.

Wu Zhixiang was skeptical when he heard this, because he had never heard Pei Lixiu say anything about "wild tea in Limu Mountain", and he had never drank it in Ziming Tower—if he didn't know with [-] to [-]% certainty that this Mr. Zhao in front of him was probably the An "Australian" almost believes that this is fabricated under the guise of an Australian.

Others, however, listened with gusto.Feng Hua would come over to refill tea from time to time.Zhang Dai felt that although this maid was ordinary in appearance, she behaved gracefully, her mannerisms were very round, her eyes were flexible but not seductive, obviously she had spent too much effort to train her.

Looking around, in this glass room, there are many treasures that have never been seen before.The most conspicuous, of course, is a mechanical clock placed on the table against the wall: the shell inlaid with gold, silver, ivory, pearls and gemstones made by Guangzhou jewelry craftsmen, and the complete set of movements brought from the 21st century.The joint production of the two time and space is now ticking.Western-style pendulum clocks had entered China in small quantities at that time. Of course Wu Zhixiang had seen them, and Zhang Dai was not surprised.But there are many other things they have never seen before: a model of the "Victory" handmade by Wen Desi and Wang Luobin, covered in a glass case, with the gun doors fully opened, revealing the black muzzle , Of course, it is not the British flag, but the morning star flag of the Senate and the blue and white navy flag of the Fubo Army.A phonograph in the shape of a lotus flower...

Several people seem to be Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden, constantly turning their sparkling eyes.Although he tried his best to be hypocritical, his face still showed surprise and joy from time to time.

When the host put down the teacup and extended the invitation with a smile, they immediately stood up, walked towards the object they were most interested in, and asked a series of questions mixed with surprise from time to time.Zhao Yingong stood with a smile on his face, answering their various questions tirelessly.I was so busy that there was a panicked "oops" sound, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Wen Huai who had stabbed his hands and looked panic-stricken.Zhao Yingong saw that what fell on the ground was a pictorial - a Japanese "Water Works" magazine.Lando's Shipwreck added thousands of similar physical books to the Great Library.

Zhang Dai picked it up and looked at it, he took a deep breath and almost dropped the book.It wasn't the exposure of the three-pointed "water" girl on the cover that frightened him, but the terrifying realism.This isn't a painting, it's like a living person being fixed on paper!
The woman's body on the paper is so vivid, and the slender and straight thighs seem to stick out of the painting.However, when the finger touches it, it is a real plane.

Zhang Dai has seen many figure paintings, not only various fine brushwork and ink figure paintings by Chinese painters, but also oil paintings painted by Western priests.In his opinion, the realism of Western oil paintings has reached an unbelievable level, but compared with this Australian painting, it is still far behind.

"This...it's amazing!" His face was pale, and for a moment he almost thought it was some kind of black magic of the Australians.

"Brothers, don't panic. This is just a picture." Zhao Yingong comforted him. "Australians have a way to use glass mirrors to fix images of people on paper. My brother is also puzzled." .”

"It's appalling, it's appalling." Wen Huai stroked his chest, and quickly sat down on the chair, as if he was terrified, "It's a sorcery!"

But Sun Chun said: "This method should be a secret method in Australia, it may not necessarily be some kind of sorcery..."

"If it wasn't for black magic, how could it be possible to put a portrait of a person on paper?" Wen Huai looked at the pictorial, looking like a poisonous snake and beast, "Please set it on fire."

"There are so many wonderful things in the world, how dare we claim to know everything?" Sun Chun was also surprised.But he never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. He shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this Australian, but the Western firearms, astronomy, geography, and arithmetic that the court talked about. If Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang had not traveled across the ocean, we would How can I know?"

Zhang Dai also doesn't really believe in the theory of witchcraft.He picked up the magazine and flipped through a few pages, only to find that the women in the picture album are tall, plump, with protruding front and back. There are extremely seductive gestures, some of which are shameless to the extreme.

The women in the paintings all have big breasts, thin waists and big buttocks, and they are also full of natural feet.According to the aesthetic point of view at that time, a woman with such a figure was not attractive at all, and none of these people lacked beautiful concubines and maidservants.But there was a faint fire of desire in his chest, and he only felt his cheeks were slightly warm.

Fearing that he would lose his composure, Zhang Dai forced himself to shake his head and said with a smile, "Where is the sorcery in this album? I think it's the secret technique in the room." Several people smiled, and the tense atmosphere was diluted a lot .
