Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Boss, we're here. This is where we live." After the car stopped in front of what looked like a Japanese-style villa, it drove straight inside.

"Not bad, not bad, this design is really quite unique." After getting off the car, Jiang Yan looked at the exquisite Japanese-style garden and praised it repeatedly.

"The entire villa area covers an area of ​​four acres. I bought the courtyard from a businessman in Jiaobenji before. He hired a famous designer in Jiaobenji to design the courtyard. It has been modernized and is quite comfortable to live in."

The Japanese garden has its own unique style and features, with a focus on details. Using simple natural elements such as water, stone, sand, and plants to create a quiet habitat is a unique style feature of the Japanese garden. All elements are connected to form a miniature nature. Japanese garden design is based on three concepts: scale reduction, symbolization, and reference.

The Japanese garden can be said to be a delicate miniature version of the Chinese garden. The details are the wonderful part of the Japanese garden. The foot basin chicken garden culture reflects the extreme control of space and illusion over natural elements. This technique can often achieve good results in small spaces and can also be well combined with modern architecture or minimalist architecture.

However, compared with the courtyards in our own country, it is small, but it still lacks a lot of grandeur. Jiang Yan still prefers more grand buildings with Huajia characteristics.

"That's the teahouse over there. It's built on top of the fish pond. You can drink tea and take a rest here." Zhang Pengfei pointed to a small pavilion connected by an arch bridge and said.

"I can't get used to the crappy tea ceremony of Jiaobenji." Jiang Yan took a look and said.

"No, the tea sets in there are our Kung Fu tea sets. I'm not used to their matcha, but I have prepared a lot of tea in there." Zhang Pengfei said with a smile.

"Do you have jasmine tea?" He Yuzhu asked beside him.

"Yes, yes. How can you not have it now that you're here? But that's all you can do. You drink jasmine tea from a big teapot." Zhang Pengfei said with disdain.

"It's very enjoyable to drink from this big cup, unlike you guys, who only have one cup and it's not even enough to fill their teeth. This tea I brought from the old city, you can't even drink it if you want!" As he spoke, He Yuzhu picked up the big cup and took a sip.

"Hurry up, I'm hungry." He Yuzhu urged again.

The villa in this courtyard is composed of several rooms of different sizes. All of their buildings are built around two small buildings, one large and one small. The smaller building is on the hillside and is quite high. It is said that you can see the view of Tokyo Bay from the second floor. This small building is also where the owner of this courtyard lives.

According to the advice of the bodyguards Jiang Yan brought with him, the two of them each chose a room, but Jiang Yan could see that the rooms they chose were meant for protection.

He Yuzhu and Zhang Pengfei live together in a relatively large house, and Jiang Yan lives on the smaller upper floor. The entire lower floor is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The first floor is the living room, study, washing room and other areas, covering an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. It is an open layout. The second floor is Jiang Yan's bedroom. There is a master bedroom and a second bedroom on the second floor. The two bedrooms are connected. The master bedroom is about 50 square meters, and the facilities inside are quite complete. What Jiang Yan likes most is the large floor-to-ceiling window here.

Only after entering the bedroom did I realize that what Zhang Pengfei said was right. Standing in front of this large floor-to-ceiling window, I could indeed see the brightly lit Tokyo Bay.

"Boss, are you ready? Let's go eat." Just as they stood there admiring the scenery for a while, there was a knock on the door, followed by Zhang Pengfei's voice.

After Jiang Yan responded, he went downstairs with him, then called the bodyguards and drove two cars to the restaurant.

"Boss, the most famous dish here is Sukiyaki, but they also have some sushi and other items. It is said that this restaurant is more than a hundred years old." After getting off the car, Zhang Pengfei pointed to a Sukiyaki restaurant called Mishimadei and introduced it to Jiang Yan.

"What's Sukiyaki?" He Yuzhu next to him asked with a confused look on his face.

"Sukiyaki is also called sukiyaki. It is made with thin slices of beef, green onions, chrysanthemum, cabbage and other ingredients. It is cooked and eaten immediately after being cooked." Zhang Pengfei explained.

"That's the hot pot of chicken in a basin." He Yuzhu said.

"Well, you are not wrong to understand it this way." Zhang Pengfei wanted to explain, but Jiang Yan pulled him and spoke first. Why argue so much with this idiot? Just go ahead and eat breakfast.

"Welcome" (Japanese) A young waiter in a kimono bowed and spoke after entering the door.

"My last name is Zhang, and I have already booked a room." Zhang Pengfei said to the waiter.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. He's a new summer intern and doesn't know much. I'll take you there." An elderly man who looked like a foreman saw Zhang Pengfei at the door, walked over quickly, bowed and apologized while speaking.

"Boss, this is Mrs. Mishima, the owner of this sukiyaki restaurant and also the inheritor of this craft." Zhang Pengfei introduced the boss named Mishima.

Judging from the appearance, the proprietress named Mishima is probably in her forties. However, in Jiaobenji, the women all wear makeup very delicately. If he didn't say anything, she would look only in her thirties, which can be considered beautiful.

Led by the proprietress, they came into a private room.

In traditional foot basin chicken restaurants, people basically sit on their knees, which is something Jiang Yan and his friends are quite unfamiliar with, especially since they have to take off their shoes after entering the restaurant. It would be quite embarrassing if someone has a strong odor from athlete's foot, so would you eat the meal or not?

"Is there a place where I can wash my feet? I want to wash them first." After seeing the furnishings in the private room, Jiang Yan did not go in but asked the boss who led them in.

Jiang Yan suggested cleaning it because he knew that Japan is a country with heavy humidity, and their traditional Japanese houses are all sat on the floor. Therefore, in order not to bring outdoor dirt into the house, this "shoe-taking-off culture" was formed. Because of this, wearing socks is also a very important etiquette for the Japanese. However, if the feet are stuffy in the shoes for a long time, some people will inevitably produce some "peculiar smell" involuntarily.

Therefore, footbath chicken people have invented many products to remove odors, and they usually carry them with them in case they need to take off their shoes. If you happen to forget to bring deodorizer or foreign tourists are not familiar with the footbath chicken culture, the restaurant can provide it for you, or the service staff will directly take the guests to a special room for foot bathing, and then put on new socks to wash away the odor.

"For some guests, we have special foot bath rooms." The proprietress said.

"Then take us to clean up first, and then eat." Jiang Yan said.

"Okay, this way please."

Following the proprietress, Jiang Yan and his friends came into a room.
