Unexpectedly, Wang Xufeng, who is elegant in writing, is most excited about doing housework besides writing and serving tea.
Yesterday, the reporter knocked on the door of Wang Xufeng in Dejia Community, Du Nan. In the fragrance of fine oolong tea, the winner of Mao Dun Literature Prize exhibited gardening, tea art, piano art, calligraphy art, and even "ironing art", which was dazzling.
"Two-wall" tea set, a garden containing more than 65,438+00 kinds of plants, a Beijing brick in the center of the living room (a stone specially used to practice China's calligraphy in ancient times) ... All the seemingly beautiful corners of Wang Xufeng's home reveal casual things: "Many things are picked, and they cost almost nothing, but they taste quite homely." Wang Xufeng smiled.
"We're home already. Please come."
Wang Xufeng is punctual. The reporter said to visit at 2: 30, and at 2: 20, she sent a text message: "I am at home, come quickly." Knock on the door on the first floor and you can hear the sound of "hehe" inside. Wang Xufeng, dressed up at home, quickly greeted: "Come in, come in." Seeing the reporter looking around, she pushed her glasses and smiled and "dispelled doubts": "Oh, I am ironing clothes. I was too busy two days ago and accumulated a lot. "
Sure enough, an iron was steaming on the ironing board next to the French window in the living room. Wang Xufeng shyly walked over and put a lot of clothes aside: "I have a special cleanliness, and I like to see clothes as flat as new and can't finish ironing." Wang Xufeng told reporters that in fact, he has always been obsessed with the feeling of doing housework, because he can take the opportunity to ease his emotions: "Many times, when ironing a dress, I am probably writing a draft for the next novel, thinking about that character and thinking about the turning point of that plot." Similarly, while mopping the floor to cook, it is often Wang Xufeng's "draft time".
Wang Xufeng, who wrote the West Lake vividly, still enjoys "reading" Hangzhou. When she is free, she will go to Beishan Road and Su Causeway. "I just went to Lingfeng Meiyuan to see wintersweet two days ago, but unfortunately there is no snow!"
Harvest taro in the garden
Wang Xufeng's house is on the first floor, with good lighting. "I bought the first floor for this small garden." The reporter was wondering, she opened the floor-to-ceiling sliding door of the balcony: "Come out, come here."
Walking out of the balcony, a mixed smell of soil and vines came to my face. A small fan-shaped garden of about 10 square meter came into view, and Wang Xufeng's expression became more vivid. She wore slippers and pulled the reporter down directly. In the center of the garden stands a stone case about 2 meters square, and four stone piers are scattered around. She said that in autumn, the family often had tea and chatted around the stone case: "There is a osmanthus tree next to it, so comfortable."
There are more than 10 different plants in this small garden. "Well, that bent pomegranate tree; It is surrounded by camphor trees; It is wisteria that bends; Water lilies are placed in stone mortar ... "There are almost no flowers at this time, and Wang Xufeng pointed out the maze for reporters one by one.
This small world has also become the best place for Wang Xufeng to rest after his creation. In summer, Wang Xufeng's family harvested more pomegranates, peppers and taro than he could eat. "But I have never deliberately cleaned this garden." Wang Xufeng told reporters that banana trees, taro and peppers are all picked from the outside: "You throw them into the ground and they will grow in a few months, and the credit goes to nature."
Full of tea.
Writer Wang Xufeng is also an expert in tea culture. The placement of tea sets alone occupies two walls of the living room. On the wall behind the TV, Wang Xufeng is separated by nearly 20 squares, all with different styles of tea sets, playful beam-lifting pots, stocky black pottery pots, exquisite blue-and-white porcelain and exaggerated wood carving pots. Every time I pick up one, Wang Xufeng can't put it down: "Although tea may not be used, these things are really hard to find in the market."
On the cabinet on the north side of the living room, there are nearly 20 teapots lined up, as well as all the tea leaves that can be thought of, such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, Pu 'er tea and oolong tea. And the reporter's visit, in addition to taking notes, the most rewarding thing is the full tea fragrance. After tasting the western-style lemon tea, Wang Xufeng became interested and spread the whole tea set on the table: "They were all newly bought in Where Street. Come on, I'll make you oolong tea. "
While she was busy, she popularized the knowledge of tea ceremony to reporters: "This is called tea sea, this is called tea boat, and this is called Ruochen Ou (one of Four Treasures of the Study tea sets for drinking oolong tea) ..." When the reporter heard this, she simply took the reporter's notebook and wrote down these technical terms one by one. A few minutes later, the reporter swallowed fragrant tea at Wang Xufeng's side.
