Don't break it, I'm bent

Chapter 35

Teahouses can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Pingjiang. On both sides of the streets paved with green bricks, red lanterns are hung on the eaves of teahouses and taverns.In the old days, there was only enough money to hang lanterns in the first month, and they had to be taken off in the first month, which was said to be taboo; but now, when life is better, there are not so many taboos, and there are more elements of decoration.

Four bowls of tea are the most common in Pingjiang tea houses, but they are also the most delicious.As the name suggests, the four bowls of tea are divided into Rice Ci Tea, Water Splashed Egg Tea, Smoked Bean Tea and Green Tea.

When Jiang Yun came to Pingjiang in the past, he liked to sit in the teahouse when he had nothing to do, order four bowls of tea, and sit for an afternoon.

The tea house he often goes to is called Sishi.

The Sishi Teahouse was next to the river corridor, so Jiang Yun chose a seat near the river corridor to sit down, and Xie Ran sat opposite him.

"What would Ayun want to drink?" Xie Ran stuck his chin in his hands, staring straight at Jiang Yun opposite.

Jiang Yun was a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he simply looked sideways at the river, pretending to be unintentional, and said: "Whatever."

"Then what should I drink?" Xie Ran's slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, "I heard that the four bowls of tea in Pingjiang are very delicious, but I haven't tasted it before. Why don't I order four bowls of tea?"

Jiang Yun only responded, followed Xie Ran's arrangements, and did not express any opinions.

Xie Ran had nothing to say, "Has Ah Yun ever drank four bowls of tea?"

"Yeah." After being stared at by Xie Ran for a long time, Jiang Yun felt his cheeks burn.

"Oh? What's the taste of those four bowls of tea? Is it good to drink? What if it's not good?" In line with the principle that as long as you can find a topic to chat, no matter what topic is fine, Xie Ran asked a bunch of nonsense .

Jiang Yun: "..."

He really has nothing to say.

"It's quite delicious if you're used to it," Jiang Yun said.

Xie Ran lowered his head and swiped the phone screen twice, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and then said: "I heard that the first bowl of tea was for entertaining the new son-in-law, how did Ah Yun feel when he drank it?"

Xie had something to say, he thought that he would have to taste the first bowl of tea later.

Jiang Yun squeezed out two words: "Forgot."

Fortunately, the tea is here, so we just have to bury our heads in the tea.

Xie Ran had never had four bowls of tea, and when the tea was served, the corners of his mouth still twitched slightly.

Why are there eggs in the first bowl of tea?

It turns out that this is what the owner of the restaurant just said about drinking tea.

Two whole eggs in a blue and white porcelain bowl, the whites are smooth and tender, and the yolks are delicious.

Xie Ran doesn't like eggs very much, but just because of the meaning of this tea, he ate both eggs in one go, even the sugar water in the bowl.

Seeing that Xie Ran ate the tea to the bottom, Jiang Yun smiled for no reason, and he asked: "Is this how you eat?"

Xie Ran gave a pause to the hand holding the spoon, he raised his head to look at Jiang Yun, his eyes were full of doubts, as if he was saying: It’s not so late, how can we eat then?

"Did I eat it wrong?" Xie Ran didn't know the rules of drinking tea, and thought that he could express his sincerity only by drinking the sugar water after eating.

Jiang Yun: "That's right, it's best to finish eating in a teahouse. But if it's the mother-in-law entertaining the new son-in-law, that's not the way to eat it."

Xie Ran: "..."

There are several ways to eat this?

"Then how do you eat it?" Xie Ran thought, how about ordering another one.

Jiang Yun took a shallow sip of mulberry bud tea and said, "Eat half, keep half."

Xie Ran looked resentfully at the layer of sugar water left in the bowl, thinking why it was so unpalatable, "Then what should I do if I ate something wrong?"

Jiang Yun was amused by Xie Ran's little expression, and replied in a strange way: "It's okay, I don't like to eat, it's fine after you finish eating."

"Is it really okay?" Xie Ran asked weakly again.

Jiang Yun had a sudden whim and wanted to tease him, "Well... Actually, it's not auspicious to eat all the food."

It’s okay not to say that, as soon as Xie Ran was said, he raised his hand to greet the owner of the restaurant and asked him to serve another four bowls of tea.

Xie Ran was very afraid, he was afraid that it would come true, "I'll order another one, pour it into a bowl, eat half of it, isn't it considered unlucky?"

Looking at Xie Ran's tense expression, Jiang Yun felt a tightness in his chest.Yes, he felt distressed, he regretted teasing Xie Ran.

"No, it's actually because," Jiang Yun's cheeks blushed unconsciously when he thought of the reason for staying, and he didn't know what to say, so he just said, "In short, it doesn't matter if you eat it all, no Bad things will happen."

Of course Xie Ran didn't understand what Jiang Yun meant, he asked in a daze, "Why is it okay?"

"There's no reason." Jiang Yun turned his face away and stopped explaining.

Xie Ran didn't dare to ask further questions, but just ate the other two bowls of tea obediently.

Sishi Tea House has its own Pingtan entertainers, and the royal blue robes attracted the attention of everyone in the audience as soon as they appeared on stage.

"Where is the aftermath of the Qingxi River, and the mountains and trees are lush and green. The cicadas sing and send you off under the moon, and the horses ride the spring breeze and the red candles stop."

The melodious music lingers in my ears, like gurgling water, blending into the gentleness of Pingjiang.

The name of the Pingtan repertoire is "Jun Yin", and this repertoire is still widely circulated in the Pingjiang area.The content roughly tells the story of a woman sending her beloved one away for a long journey. In the spring, the number one scholar in high school rides a horse and rides the spring breeze to marry the woman. The woman in the story has no name, and the number one scholar is called Su Yu.There is another version that Su Yu, the number one scholar in high school, was favored by the emperor and planned to recruit him as his son-in-law. Su Yu resisted the edict for the sake of a woman, but was eventually beheaded.Dreaming back at midnight, Su Yu rode a horse, facing the spring breeze, and came to marry the woman.

Of course, there is another voice, some people say: stories can be grounded, but they cannot be grounded.That's the way it is said, but stories always carry beautiful meaning and yearning.

It is said that later, in order to commemorate the love between the two, someone built a temple at the place where the woman bid farewell to Su Yu. The old man worshiped in the temple, and the temple was named Chanming Temple.After that, young men and women, whether they love each other or are unrequitedly in love with one person, will go to Chanming Temple to worship, praying that Yuelao can bless themselves and their loved ones together.

"What if the worshiper is a man." Xie Ran said carefully.

The story does not mention the gender of the sender, but in everyone's subconscious mind, of course it will default to love between a man and a woman.

Xie Ran's voice was not too loud, and the people around heard it too. A few good people had turned their heads several times, and looked at Xie Ran head-on.There were also a few elderly people whose faces darkened, apparently feeling that Xie Ran was talking nonsense and immoral.

Jiang Yun did not expect Xie Ran to say this.But Jiang Yun felt that what he said was not unreasonable, and the name of the poem "Jun Yin" somewhat revealed a different meaning.

"Indeed," Jiang Yun looked at Xie Ran, his eyes were full of seriousness, "So, does Ah Ran want to go to Chanming Temple to worship?"

The author says:

Xiaoyu's thoughts are broken: Mom, I'm sorry, I'm late (I've already knelt down)

The specific custom of the four bowls of tea comes from Baidu. If there is anything wrong, please correct me. As for the poem, I wrote it myself. It is a bit eye-catching, but I have tried my best. It has been a day before I wrote it. I hope you will scold me lightly .

There is another chapter in the evening, which is estimated to be posted at night (woo woo woo, patients with severe Parkinson's can't do three more, watch it on weekends, maybe add another chapter, inspirational must complete three chapters), so the baby who is chasing the update should not stay up late Lah, go to bed early~?
