Chapter 201

As soon as she got close to the stone table, Jiang Wan smelled the smell of crab that made her fingers move.

When she looked at the stone table, she saw that on the stone table were the Su style dishes carefully prepared by Hu Baoshan's kitchen, including squirrel mandarin fish, fried eel paste, crab tendon, clear shrimp, etc. in the middle of the table was a steamer, in which were four red hairy crabs, bigger than the palm of the hand.

On one side of the stone table, there is a small red clay stove, on which a pot of yellow rice wine is heated, emitting a strong aroma.

"This crab is cold, you can't eat more." Xiao Ruixuan took out a set of eight pieces of crabs wrapped with silver flowers and said to Jiang Wan with a smile while carefully peeling the hairy crabs.

Jiang Wan, on the other hand, looks curiously at this typical Jiangnan Building, with white walls and tiles, and some exaggerated eaves flying to the sky.

In the past, she once went on a business trip to Suzhou, but because of the time arrangement, she did not set foot in the most famous Suzhou garden, which became a pity in her life.

In the last life, when she arrived at the Daliang Dynasty, she was trapped in the high wall of red wall and yellow tile every day, living like a canary.

"I don't know if the Humble Administrator's garden and the lion forest are far from here." Jiang Wan looked at the pavilions, small bridges and flowing water around her with a smile, and asked curiously.

In recent years, she would like to have a visit to make up for her regret.

But then she felt that her idea was ridiculous.

Even if the famous gardens in Suzhou are close at hand, it is impossible for you to visit them. After all, those gardens are private houses of other people's homes. They are not parks for visitors to go in and out at will, just like later generations.

"Humble Administrator's garden?" Xiao Ruixuan put a ball of oily crab roe into her mouth and thought with a slight frown, "there is a lion forest temple in the east of the city, but you have never heard of the Humble Administrator's garden."

Jiang Wan was satisfied with the sweet and delicious crab roe, but he opened his eyes incredulously.

Never heard of it?

How!

But she understood.

Although she lived in the Daliang Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Ming Dynasty, there were some deviations in the development of history. Either the time had not come, or Wang Xianchen, who was frustrated in officialdom, had not yet returned to his hometown to build a garden.

In other words, there is probably no shadow of Humble Administrator's garden at all now!

"It's Shizilin temple in the north of the city. If you're interested, I'll go with you tomorrow." Xiao Ruixuan's eyes were warm, and he pushed over a plate of hairy crabs that had been peeled. "There are thousands of bamboo trees in the temple, and there are many strange rocks under the bamboo trees. They look like lion dragons. It's worth seeing."

"The lion forest?" Jiang Wanqi said, "aren't we going to Hangzhou?"

"There are still three days left. It's not urgent." Xiao Ruixuan was very considerate and poured a cup of yellow rice wine for Jiang Wan. He found that he was more and more used to serving Jiang Wan, a little girl, and he also enjoyed it. "From Suzhou to Hangzhou, two days is enough. I won't miss the tide of Qiantang River."

When Jiang Wan heard this, she nodded her head busily, swept away the crab meat in front of her, and then blinked at Xiao Ruixuan.

How could Xiao Ruixuan not know what she was up to.

"No, you can't eat more of this crab!" Xiao Ruixuan glared at Jiang Wan, "Cheng Zixiu said that your constitution is cold. He's giving you pills. You can't touch more of these things. Just taste them." Jiang Wan was a little reluctant.

In the last life, when it was the Mid Autumn Festival, people would pay tribute to the imperial court for greasy hairy crabs. As the empress dowager, Jiang Yi would give some to each palace to show his favor.

So, she didn't like those hairy crabs, but she liked to watch Xiao Ruixuan's concentrated manner when she peeled them.

Look, he put the steaming crab on the small square table with his white slender fingers, cut off the big claws and legs one by one with round head silver scissors, then gently beat around the crab shell with a waist hammer, and then split the back shell and navel with a long handled axe.

After that, take a drill, tweezers, fork, hammer, or pick or clip, or fork or knock, small

Take out the golden and oily crab roe and snow-white fresh crab meat, and use them one by one.

It's not like peeling a crab, but it's like a delicate operation.

When he finished the graceful disassembly of a crab, then scooped in the dipping material with a small spoon, took up the crab shell and fed it to himself, it was a kind of fairy like happiness, which made Jiang Wan feel endless aftertaste.

"Just one! Just one, OK? " Jiang Wan began to play a rogue. She rubbed Xiao Ruixuan like a kitten. "Maybe half of it is OK..."

With that, she picked up her glass, smacked a sip of yellow rice wine, and said, "you see, I've even drunk the warm yellow rice wine, so you can peel another one for me..."

At this time, the moon is already in the middle of the sky, and the bright moonlight spreads all over the courtyard. The flowers and plants are shining in the moonlight, and the whole courtyard is even more fragrant with light osmanthus.

Jiang Wan put her black hair on her head in a bun and hung it at the back of her head. She put a white magnolia in her hair and swayed her eyes,

The mischievous corners of her mouth are slightly tilted, and the light green silk picking double nest cloud wild goose palace gauze is like a fairy on her body, which makes people unable to move their eyes.

"Well, we can only eat half more!" Facing Jiang Wan like this, Xiao Ruixuan always feels helpless.

"Well, well." Jiang Wan's head was like garlic, and his face was full of the pride of his treachery.

The next day, Xiao Ruixuan took Jiang Wan to the Lion Forest Temple in the east of Suzhou.

Wearing brocade and green rose, Jiang Wan, who is close to Xiaoru, holds Xiao Ruixuan's hand and gets out of the car. She looks around through her hat.

There is no imagination of prosperity and bustle, but the huge temple reveals a desolation of no one to take care of.

"It's said that there was an eminent monk named tianru who came here to preach Buddhist scriptures. His disciples bought land to buy houses and built this Zen forest for him." Taking Jiang Wan by the hand, Xiao Ruixuan carefully led her to the temple. "Because there are thousands of bamboo trees in the garden, there are many strange stones under the bamboo trees, and they look like lions, so everyone named it" Shizilin temple. "

The two of them were walking in front of each other, and the guards were following behind them

Among them, there are two vigilant sisters, Xiayi and Lanyi.

"It's a pity that when Zen master Xie Shi left that day, his disciples scattered one after another, and the temple garden gradually became desolate." While talking, Xiao Ruixuan brings Jiang Wan to the strange stone.

They are like human bodies, like lions, like animals. They seem to be independent and related to each other. They also seem to have a strong Buddhist atmosphere. And these strange stones stacked together, like a labyrinth, divided into more than 20 caves, a number of winding paths, but also vivid and interesting.
