Chapter 428 [Lillard Castle II]

Standing on the top of the mountain, the Lillard Castle, which is more than 300 years old, and the greenhouse garden of the same era, which is as large as a football field and one acre in size. Only when you arrive at the site can you feel what shock is? In the absence of machinery, it was not difficult to build such a small castle. Not to mention such a small castle, even the Neuschwanstein Castle was built only a few years ago.

But the construction of this one-acre greenhouse garden was the most strenuous part. It is as beautiful as a crystal palace. Because the temperature inside the greenhouse garden is too high, the temperature is transmitted to the glass on the top of the garden. Although Switzerland has heavy snow in winter, the temperature on the glass of the greenhouse garden is very high.

The temperature difference between the inside and the outside is large. The falling snowflakes have melted when they touch the glass. In addition, this greenhouse garden is in the shape of a half sphere, and the melted snow water will flow down little by little. When it flows to a certain extent, it will not dry, and a few millimeters of ice will form on the glass. It will shine under the reflection of the sun, just like crystal.

This thin layer of ice forms a protective film to prevent direct sunlight from shining on the glass, slowing down the life of the glass and increasing its beauty. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a crystal palace. For the sake of beauty, the Lillard family used white metal such as aluminum to inlay in the gaps of the glass.

It is really luxurious. This greenhouse garden is between the castle and the gate. Facing the gate, the greenhouse garden has no doors and windows. There are doors and windows only when facing the castle. You have to bypass the greenhouse garden and come to the gate of the castle to see what the greenhouse garden gate opposite looks like.

I didn't expect that the gate was actually carved from two huge pieces of wood, with a unique European fire dragon carved on it, and the shape is a bit like a lizard. The European dragon and the Asian dragon look different. There is a 100-meter open space between the greenhouse garden and the castle, on which some pine trees are planted.

Although they have been abandoned for many years, these pine trees are definitely about a hundred years old, and they are really strong. It stretches straight to the sky, with pine cones one by one, as big as papayas. There are 20 pine trees of this age, which is very rare.

It can be said that you can eat pine nuts in autumn while sitting at home. Since you bought a castle, the first thing to visit is of course the main building of the manor. That is to say, Lillard Castle. After opening the Lillard Castle, the wooden door is full of steaming hot air.

Watt Lillard knew that Belsinger, the guest, came to visit Lillard Castle today. Now it is winter and if they don’t burn fire to keep warm, they will catch a cold. After entering the castle, I feel that the castle is basically the same as an ordinary European castle, without the dark and ancient feeling.

It is very clean. There are no messy oil paintings on the ceiling of the living room. After modernization, it can be said that any modern furniture and electrical appliances in the woods are available. They are all made of German brands with excellent quality, good quality and low price. After all, the main ethnic group of Switzerland is Germanic. Although they are two countries, their people are of the same race, and one of the official languages ​​is German.

The castle is very small, with only a dozen rooms. Each individual building is very compact, which also reflects the characteristics of European furniture arrangement. If there is no lighting at night, if you are not familiar with the placement of any furniture in the castle, you may fall to death when entering the living room. In the eyes of a rigorous nation, this is a mess, but there is a pattern in the mess.

The interior of the castle was decorated 30 years ago. Although the furniture and home appliances are a few years old, they are still very convenient to use. The castle is powered by the power grid. As long as you do not default on the electricity bill of the Swiss Federal Power Supply Department, he will not give you a power outage. The water is from the Alps, where the ice and snow melt and are stored in the water cellar.

Because the surrounding five acres are all the territory of Lillard Castle, the trees on the mountain can be cut down at will. Therefore, the entire castle, whether it is the living room or the bedroom, has a small fireplace. When people are resting, they light a bonfire and roast it by the fire. It is very warm.

Drinking tea and chatting while doing so is also a treatment that can only be enjoyed in places with winter. You can't enjoy such comfort in the tropics. After walking around the castle, there are no other shortcomings except that the furniture, home appliances, and kitchen and bathroom supplies are relatively old. Furniture doesn't matter. It's a bit older, so it's more characteristic of the era.

But the home appliances and kitchen facilities are relatively old, so just replace them. It will be fixed within three days, which will not affect the living time at all. Belsinger is very satisfied. The interior decoration and placement of the entire Lillard Castle can be summarized in two words: compact.

The largest master bedroom area does not exceed 100 square meters, and it also includes a changing room, bathroom, and living room. The cloakroom, the actual place for the bed is only 30 square meters, which is a bit small, but if the bedroom is too big, it will not be good for people.

The next thing to see is Belsinger's most wanted greenhouse garden. After opening the wooden door of the greenhouse garden. It can be said that negative oxygen ions are rushing in the face, and all the ears hear and the eyes see is a piece of green and the sound of running water.

The chirping of insects, birds and frogs ring in your ears, and all kinds of green plants are everywhere you look. Even the ground is covered with neatly trimmed lawns, which are as comfortable as walking on carpet.

The temperature can reach about 30 degrees. Looking up at the ceiling of the greenhouse, there is a water pipe connected along the joint between the two glasses. What is this water pipe for? For artificial rainfall? The water in the water cellar is pumped up, heated to about 30 degrees, and then gushed out of the water pipe to water the plants in the greenhouse.

Bel Singh himself lives in the Indian subcontinent, which has only two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. Bel Singh has seen a lot of tropical plants. However, Bel Singh did not recognize 40% of the tropical plants in this greenhouse garden. He only recognized some tropical fruits. When he came to a banana, he even saw bananas. There were actually large bees crawling on the flowers.

Some fruit trees still had fruits on them. The entire greenhouse garden adopted the spiral construction concept, that is, walking in circles. The width of the lawn road is only 50 centimeters and a half meters. Only one person can walk parallel, pass, walk in circles, and look in circles. Sometimes he will even be frightened by some birds and small animals living in the greenhouse.

Just like a nautilus shell, it circles inwards, and in the middle is actually a small lake of 100 square meters. The depth is no more than two meters, and there are actually various birds living in it that use plants.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

There is actually a pair of black swans living in the lake, and there are even some fish and shrimps raised in the lake, as well as lotus flowers with European characteristics. This is not a greenhouse garden, it is simply a small tropical food chain ecosystem.
