Reach Hongcun has five o'clock in the afternoon, but also experienced a reservation is not an awkward the storm, finally disposed of at the Songhe backpack Hall room where some people tired. Bath wash out the sky dimming, hear the boss said, going round after dinner to take us out, we leisurely manner Duodao main room inside to enjoy dinner. The village received the prevailing price of 50 yuan for accommodation plus three meals a day.
This main room is the "Songhe Hall" plaque was placed where the words, a typical style of the Qing Dynasty Huizhou houses, before the walls, the open courtyard, both sides of the rooms; wood windows, a few strips, square table, Founder simplicity. Our dinner are located in this house on the square table. Warm yellow light shining on the table save the Circuit of the 89 dishes, vague shapes of another three unfamiliar and friendly face. It is lived in today Songhe Hall 3 friends, including a pair of husband and wife, told us the same age, but also from Shanghai; the other a younger, Guangzhou, studying in France, photographers, a few years ago, to have done, is a frequent guest Songhe Hall. With Woliang, a total of five young backpackers, rivers and lakes萍聚rare affinity for, so you say you, I say I got to know each of the meal effort.
To say that this table meals is definitely our trip back to the most sumptuous meal, the small yellow croaker Pork fungus mushrooms and eggs, vegetables, etc., the boss moves his wife simply to the New Year have to make out, in no way a result of only five customers by reducing standards, and the boss wife is not with us at the same table for dinner, but added, smiling occasionally Han Han asked us taste together is inappropriate, or not to add vegetables, like most of the guest of relatives to the countryside feeling. Readily picked up the album on the look of a few, actually had a boss with a number of painters and calligraphers, and Simon Yam, Tong Chun Chung and other Hong Kong stars, photo, are lived in or visited his guests. Of course, most, or a person's photos: Though this is the boss of the local people, but mimicking deep-set eyes wide zygomatic Cantonese at home, the eldest daughter, more like him; boss exquisite, delicate young man's facial features are passed to the pretty little girl. Character of the couple appear to complement each other and the boss honest stiff, boss straightforward task; boss silently in the House and wife is responsible for matters relating to guide interpretation. However, regardless of whom deal with, honest hospitality and enthusiasm are written on their faces kind, touched in your heart.
Completely dark sky, and hand with a small flashlight tours Hongcun night out with the boss to go!
Out is the narrow stone road, street sound of gurgling water, to draw the line minor groove so-called "cow intestines" of. Because it is drilled along the high and low terrain, so the "cow intestines" Four Seasons Lane perennial flowing from the mountains of the flowing water, being updated. With the "cow intestines," go on, I wonder if after a few bends, dark eyes there's a Tai Tong. Weather reasons, only vaguely see the reservoir was half-moon, curving side walls erected, while the straight edge of the seat seem to have big houses. Proprietress told us here that "cow stomach", is the bare its ancestral houses, as before, Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture. Continue between the winding stone alley for a while, a cool breeze hit head-on, "tripe" - to the South Lake. Half-lotus leaf and a half lake lake whistle, stone bridge connecting corner to the embankment, subtle fragrance floating, willow stroked my face, can not tell the cozy. Leaning stone bridge railing, listening to the boss expatiated speaking with the origin of Songhe Hall, Hongcun changes, personnel of the scores, I think of a child to sleep in bamboo bed grandma to play the stars ... ...
The next day got up early, once again traveled along the route last night in the village of the Dawn. Black white walls everywhere canopies, water people. Just one more and more increased, to the sketches of students, tourists, businessmen, almost throughout every corner of the quiet night under the care replaced the hot sunny li teng. However, returned it eaten for breakfast, leaned idly by on the Chinese Room pavilion beauty to see a small pool of red carp, a few wall Turui of Canna, funny at the foot of stealing cat to sleep, and talk strange journey horizons This day is ... ... Fortunately, only a half-day luxury, there is no guilt Enron also receive a.
Owner strongly recommend Lu Village, wood floor, said the road very far, chartered cheap, worth a visit. They and another couple that went together. Lu Village, this is a place only a few hundred years ago, wealthy side of the Huizhou merchants "Lu millions" of × ?ê ?, its extremely expensive to hire dozens of first-class carpenter, worked ceaselessly for 20 years Our Time to complete works of art, I was a little spectacle. Isshiki's boxwood wood doors, each fan in each square inch, are all carved and feared his best (real time can be described as sculpture), all sorts of allusions ignited the host legend best wishes of all those years. Unfortunately, half a century ago that the market grotesque "old" movement frightened descendants, only heartless wood carving knives to the majority of people on the face of Cuo go, brutal and delicate, incomplete and perfection, and thus in a wooden block present, it is Yaran. Manpower limit? Or history of the joke?
"He says millions" of descendants still living in the ancestral house house left, and looked a bit indifferent to the use of ancient furniture. Beautiful flower a few shelves an old TV, the following carved lattice garden plot with a thick layer of ash.
Read the wood floor, and then returned to Hongcun visit Chengzhi Church, the witch can not help but have seen a great sense of good-bye might as those wood carvings are also considered fine, but still not as Lu. Is said that the top of the craft has now been lost. Hongcun is also scattered with a few small shops selling wood carvings, I heard that some people today imitation processing "do" the old, but some do come from the private income, the price much cheaper than in Shanghai, love to drum up Chinese-style carefully, there may be an unexpected bonus.
Hongcun a rule: bought tickets for the tourists, four or more people for free with a tour guide. Under the hot sun, we followed a pregnant mother guides, Dangling seen several representation of the ancient Huizhou Vernacular: courtiers, Mr. private schools, businessmen, home, retirement home officials, and so on, each has its advantages, Long a lot of insight.
Back to Songhe Hall lunch, another table tasty meals. Boss wife begin to do contact us chartered back to Huangshan city (Tunxi) and things that we two pairs of peers, and the remaining photographers looking for inspiration alone. After dinner there is some time away from the car, we sat in church chat room. Photographer suggested that we on the left side of the wooden window of the house subglottic pictures of, he came to ghost. According to his experience, from the courtyard where they shot just under the light refracted into the door that the door (performance equivalent to a round piece of art photography white lighting), shoot the gas color bearer particularly beautiful! Proprietress even more generous to produce a line of head-law Po-blue jacket, golden apron, yellow scarf, and instantly I became the authentic Huizhou country girls, basket Yi Men, stare linger, enjoy the murder of film greatly smug a return to the maximum compensation that were not their wedding photographs of regret. In this way everyone laughing and joking in the time avoided.
Boss wife sent us on the car, another parting. The amiable owner of his wife, if re-visit Huangshan, we must then Hongcun, and then live Songhe Church!
More than one hours later, the driver sent us Tunxi Street blocks. Walking slowly, this street kinda long, ancient style, down the street are shops selling souvenirs. No street people, shop where the owner of more than than the visitors. Huizhou sold mostly in specialty ink, paper and ink, Huangshan tea, wood carving antique and so on. We are interested in is not great, but also suspicious fake doping, stop-go, through to the other end, find the famous "first floor" hotel, point of Lao Doufu, three yellow chicken, and so a few dishes taste good , the price is reasonable, indeed well-deserved reputation. Four people to eat 88.
Play from the first floor to the Huangshan train station 5 yuan. Car Fan Hu. Fast forward about 8 am on a taxi home. Watching the flow of people on both sides of Xuanza traffic, dirty streets of dazzling architecture, is simply a bit sick - that is we live in city? In turn used to the city tomorrow? Indescribable sense of loss and helplessness, accompanied by a good sleepy slept on the train, waves hit. (End)
