Chapter 282 It's Simple
It can be seen that Ximen Fire Tree also tends to be somewhat perfectionist.
Of course, it is just a trend and has not reached the status of paranoidness. Otherwise, this villa in the mountain would probably be completely retro and without any modern atmosphere. Unlike now, after inviting everyone to sit in the quaint hall, Ximen Huoshu immediately took out the electric stove to boil water and make tea to entertain guests.
"Everyone sit for a while." After pouring each of them a cup of tea, Ximen Huoshu stood up and smiled: "I'll go and cook a few dishes first, and then have a drink with everyone later."
"A little fire tree, just do it, don't make it so grand." Luo Qiu reminded: "If it really doesn't work, just go to the town to buy some cooked food and just make do with it."
"It's okay, I'm ready." As he spoke, Ximen Huo Shu walked out.
At this time, while drinking tea, everyone looked at the layout in the hall. They saw that the hall was spacious, with all bamboo and wood furniture. Tables, chairs and benches were all well-made and very classical and elegant.
There is no doubt that these furniture are all made by Ximen Huo Shu.
For example, the tea table where everyone sat around was a typical representative work of relief. On the quaint tea table, a lotus and lotus pattern was carved on the entire board. The pattern was a clear pond, and a bunch of lotus lotus swayed in the wind. Under the breeze, lotus leaves tilted slightly, forming a rolled-up shape, which happened to be able to place electric stoves and teapots for boiling water.
There was also a lotus blossoming branch that was spread out. The lotus pod was formed slightly larger than the fist, and there was a small lotus table in the middle, which happened to be able to hold the tea cup.
In short, the tea table is full of fun and ingenious style, which fully demonstrates that Ximen Huo Shu’s strength is extraordinary. While everyone is tasting tea and watching the exquisite craftsmanship of the tea table, it is also quite comfortable.
Suddenly, Bao Longtu spoke, "By the way, I don't know if you have noticed it. In the bushland next to the house, there is a special tree. The tree is not very tall, but it is surrounded by a fence. Do you think it is golden nanmu?"
"It's very likely." Fang Yuan speculated: "The reason why Master Fire Tree settled here is probably not only because he doesn't like extravagance and excitement, but also because he is a bit guarding Jinsun."
"This is natural." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Who can plant such a precious tree species in the wild with confidence? Forget it if you don't know it. If you know it is golden nanmu, you may have been stolen and chopped privately within 80 years."
"Yes, that's it." Others agreed.
Golden nanmu has been a royal wood since ancient times, used specifically for royal palaces and buildings and furniture in a few temples. Even the emperor's dragon throne is made of golden nanmu. If someone uses it without authorization, he will be convicted for overcoming the etiquette system.
From this we can see how high-end, elegant and high-end things the golden nanmu is. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, the golden nanmu wood suitable for a building could no longer be found, so Emperor Qianlong stole the golden nanmu from the Ming Dynasty tomb and used it for his own use.
In ancient times, nanmu was on the verge of extinction, but in modern times, it must be more and more rare, and can be regarded as one of the top precious tree species. Who dares to take such things lightly?
Moreover, because the golden nanmu is famous for its late blooming, it will take hundreds of years to grow and become a pillar for at least two hundred years. The golden nanmu next to the Ximen Huo Shu Mansion has a history of more than 80 years. In another ten or eight years, it can be regarded as a century-old golden nanmu, and its value will definitely become more and more valuable.
"I noticed it just now."
At this time, Luo Shui whispered: "That golden nanmu should be a Minnanmu."
"Minnan?" Bao Longtu blinked, puzzled his meaning: "Songxi, it should be northern Fujian."
"It's not the southern Fujian." Luoshui laughed and explained quickly: "I'm talking about the name of a tree. After all, the broad sense of golden nanmu refers to the golden nanmu that shows golden nanmu. According to traditional industry, ancient golden nanmu refers to purple nanmu, zhennan, and mineral nanmu. Among them, the golden nanmu refers to the golden nanmu variety that grows in Fujian."
"There are so many divisions of golden nanmu?" Bao Longtu suddenly realized: "I thought it was just a single tree species."
"Haha, there must be a difference." Luo Shui smiled and said, "For example, golden nanmu is a precious variety among nanmu. Since there are obviously more crystals in golden nanmu than ordinary nanmu, the surface of the wood is shining in the sun, golden silk appears, and a gentle fragrance appears, it is naturally more precious than ordinary nanmu."
"However, among the golden nanmu, there are also differences in height. Some people say that the quality is purple nanmu, and some people say that it is Xiaoye Zhennan. However, industry insiders do not distinguish the quality of golden nanmu by region, but judge the quality according to its texture."
Luo Shui talked freely: "The golden nanmu shines in the sun, and its texture is as brilliant as cloud brocade, which is very noble and beautiful. Its texture is rich and varied, and its characteristics of moving and changing shadows..."
"Wait." Bao Longtu interrupted and asked, "What does it mean to change the shadow?"
"The golden nanmu wood is divided into two sides of yin and yang. From different angles, you will see different colors." Luoshui explained: "There are purple-gold, golden yellow, emerald green, purple-red and black, and the layering is very strong."
"So that's it." Bao Longtu said suddenly: "I knew that the golden nanmu was precious, but unfortunately I had never seen it with my own eyes."
"This thing is relatively rare." Luo Shui smiled and said, "After all, this thing was an emperor's special item in ancient times and it cannot be kept privately by the people. Therefore, when the dynasty changes, most of the golden nanmu objects in the palace were buried in the dust of history. The golden nanmu furniture and handicrafts that were fortunate to be left behind were as rare as morning stars."
"It's right, it's right." Bao Longtu said thoughtfully: "But since you are so familiar with Jinsinan, do you have Jinsinan objects at home?"
"Well..." Luo Shui blew up and suddenly shouted: "Master Fire Tree."
"Let everyone wait for a long time." At the same time, Ximen Huoshu walked in and said with a smile: "Let's go, go eat."
At the greeting of Ximen Huo Shu, everyone came to the restaurant. After some advice, everyone sat down.
The lunch was very rich. It seemed that Ximen Huo Shu had made enough preparations, including big fish and meat, exquisite side dishes, and some cold dishes, which were completely standard in star-rated hotels.
"It's over, it's over." Luo Qiu blamed: "Everyone is all his own people, there is no need to have such a grand formation."
"It may not taste very good, please forgive me." Ximen Huoshu smiled lightly, then opened a bottle of mellow wine, filled it with everyone, immediately raised his glass and said, "Everyone has traveled thousands of miles to visit me in this remote countryside. Thank you all the hard work along the way. I will respect you first, everyone can do it..."
"Come on, let's go!" Others responded, but it was an ant cup, one sip at a time, and you're not afraid of not being able to drink it.
When a glass of wine was in her stomach, everyone felt a heat coming out on their bodies, and the atmosphere naturally rose and became enthusiastic.
"Don't be polite, use your chopsticks to eat vegetables..." Ximen Huoshu greeted.
Just then, someone outside shouted loudly: "Fire Tree, Brother Fire Tree!"
"Hmm?" Ximen Huo Shu was stunned, then smiled apologetically: "You eat first, I'll go see what's going on."
While speaking, Ximen Huo Shu walked out. After about three or five minutes, he walked back. Seeing everyone's gaze with a little questioning, he immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal."
"It's really okay."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little suspicious, Ximen Huo Shutou simply explained: "There is a Tianshi Temple in our village. Due to disrepair, it rained heavily a few days ago, and a wall naturally collapsed. The villagers conspired to push the temple down and rebuild it. Everyone knows that my skills are good, so I want me to take charge of this matter."
"Good thing." Luo Qiu smiled immediately: "I know that in towns and villages, any such thing is usually left to prestigious people."
"It's not worthy of prestige." Ximen Huoshu smiled and said, "It was when the village begged for alms and built a temple, I was generous with it, so I donated more money. And then again, it's okay to let me do carpentry work, and let me build a temple is really not my strength."
"A small matter." Luo Qiu raised his glass and signaled: "Did you see it? Brother Xiao Fang and Brother Xiao Bao, who are the ones who run a design company. Not to mention building temples, even if you build skyscrapers, it is not a problem for them."
"Really?" Ximen Huoshu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Then I'll ask you two for advice."
"It's easy to say." Fang Yuan smiled and said with the help of wine: "This is simple. A temple is nothing more than a foundation, the main body and the roof. No matter whether the appearance of the temple is square or round, as long as you grasp these three basic structures, there will never be any mistakes."
"That's it." Bao Longtu nodded and said, "Whether it is the Temple of Heaven and Earth in the capital, or the temples and temples with famous mountains and rivers, they basically focus on these three elements and then expand them."
"There is no need for temples in the Temple of Heaven." Ximen Huoshu smiled and said, "Our village is a small temple. When you enter the door, you will be a place to worship the gods and burn incense and worship. A house-like structure, only about twenty square meters."
"But now that it has been rebuilt, everyone thinks it can be expanded appropriately. It covers an area of about 34 square meters, and it must be more refined and more grand. Anyway, it is to use limited funds to build the temple to the best."
While speaking, Ximen Huoshu smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known that I shouldn't have donated more money, now this matter is on me, which makes me feel like shooting myself in the foot."
"It's okay, I'll cover me."
At the right time, Bao Longtu and Luoshui clinked glasses and drank a sip of wine, waved their hands indifferently and said, "In a while, you can take us to the original site of the temple to take a look. After seeing the terrain clearly, I will draw a design drawing for you and then repair it according to the drawings. There is absolutely no problem."
"That's great, thank you brother Xiaobao." Ximen Huoshu smiled and toasted, "Come on, let's go one too."
"……good!"
The mellow wine not only tastes good, but also has a good degree. After drinking a few cups, everyone became a little excited, with red faces and ears, and they were very happy... (To be continued. Please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
