Chapter 139: A Thousand Miles to Chanjuan

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at Tagawa's house was eaten on the terrace on the third floor.

It's the season of autumn breezes, the roof has long been removed from the terrace, and when it gets dark, the family sits around a stone table under the grape trellis, and the dishes on the table are exquisite but not sumptuous: steamed river crab, boiled prawns, boiled grass carp, stewed meat, vegetarian assortment, stir-fried meat with chili, cucumber patting, lettuce dipping sauce. Tian Chuan drank the aged rice wine brought from Kong Yiji City, his father opened a bottle of Moutai, his mother did not drink white wine, and Tian Chuan helped her choose a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite.

In the process of drinking, my mother drank red wine and suddenly said: "Tian Jianguang, you drink such a good wine yourself, it costs hundreds of bottles, but my son and I drink this worthless color (read shai, four sounds) wine, it is unreasonable." ”

Tian Dad said: "Be content, you are drinking, the foreign wine you drank was brought back from the United States by Xiaochuan, and it will not be cheaper than mine." Otherwise, how could Xiao Chuan tell us not to give it away?"

Tian Chuan listened to his parents arguing there, laughing heavily, just drinking his old wine, and did not intervene. Seeing Tian Chuan's attitude, Tian Ma had no bottom in her heart, and asked, "Xiao Chuan, tell me, how much is a bottle of this wine I drink?"

Tian Chuan said: "Mom, you don't care how much a bottle is, I just ask you, is this better than that Moutai?"

Tian Ma said: "You fool me again, to be honest, how much is it?"

Tian Chuan said: "Anyway, it's more expensive than the Moutai that my dad drank, so ask so clearly." ”

Tian Ma felt furious in her heart, and said to herself: "Won't this be like those perfumes, which are frighteningly expensive, right?" suddenly raised her voice and asked, "To be honest, don't turn the corners." ”

"It's less than 20,000 yuan. Before Tian Chuan's words fell, Tian Ma's mother had already grabbed Tian Chuan's ears and said, "You are a loser, buy such an expensive thing, sweet or sour, where is it worth so much money?"

Tian Chuan hurriedly said, "Light, Mom, light, it hurts." Listen to me," he said, feeling a little less in his ears, and continued, "this is a famous wine, and now the quantity is getting smaller and smaller, and the price will only get more and more expensive." I can also maintain and increase the value of the purchase. Although we don't expect to make money by selling, it is better to give gifts or something in the future than to buy now, isn't it? Isn't this today's holiday, open a bottle for you to taste. ”

Tian Ma still didn't spare him, and then asked: "Then what kind of old wine do you drink, like horse urine, won't it be so expensive?"

Tian Chuan said: "This is not so expensive, only a few dozen yuan a catty." How filial my son is, he drinks hundreds of bottles of famous wine for his father, tens of thousands of bottles of foreign wine for his mother, and only drinks this worthless bulk rice wine himself......"

Before he finished speaking, Tian Chuan tightened his ears in his hand and said, "Don't bluff me, you have to have several catties in this big teapot." I asked, and the average rice wine seems to cost only a few yuan a catty. ”

Tian Chuan finally told the truth: "Parents, our living standards have improved, and it doesn't cost much more to eat better." The quality of the liquor and rice wine we drink is indeed much better than those cheaper, and it is worth spending a little more. I don't think the red wine you drank is worth that much money, but if you just use it to give it away and don't drink it yourself, how wronged, isn't it? Besides, putting the rest of your drink in the cabinet tomorrow will save face, right?"

He rubbed his ears, picked up a crab and peeled it, and said while peeling it: "To tell the truth, among the wine stored in our family, the only ones I am reluctant to give away casually are those commemorative versions of the imperial style, this Lafite Manor and these rice wines. Not because it's expensive, but because it's hard to buy. If you give it to those who don't know the preciousness of this wine, you just drink it, it is tantamount to waste. Let's not talk about the tens of thousands of bottles of foreign wine, let's just say that the rice wine I drank was also bought in Kongyiji City because of favors, and it would be difficult to buy it if I wanted to buy it again. I've drunk it once and there's a better one, which was brewed by an old gentleman himself and then buried it. These wines were buried there at that time, and if you drank a little, you would drink a little less, and now there are only a dozen catties left in the old gentleman's house, and I was too embarrassed to open my mouth when I wanted to buy them, so I only bought these mass-produced wines. This is where the preciousness of good wine comes in. ”

"These Moutai Wuliangye or something, it's a big deal to buy them after drinking, and you won't be able to buy them, so it doesn't matter if you give them away or something. And as a famous wine, there is still face when you give it away. ”

After discussing the wine for a while, we talked about the dishes on the table. Tian Chuan said: "You see, the dishes on this table, now river crabs and shrimp are the most expensive, and many people are reluctant to buy them to eat, and the ones we grow and raise ourselves are even more expensive." But after a few years, when there are more breeders, the price will fall, and even go to the daily dining table of ordinary people. This is actually the progress of society. You see, no matter how much people complain about social injustice, the deterioration of the social atmosphere, the rise in prices, and so on, people's daily life is still gradually improving, and this cannot be denied, right? I started this farm to provide everyone with healthier food when they become rich, and after everyone changes from eating meat three times a year to eating meat casually, I will put the concept of health in front of people and give everyone a new goal to pursue. ”

After dinner, Tian Chuan didn't let his parents do it, he removed the tableware on the table, served his own grapes, apples, strawberries, pears and other fruits, and brought up mooncakes. The mooncakes were developed by the pastry chef Huang Faqiang of Tianxin Mill and the pastry chef Feng Zhe, and on the basis of the traditional Chinese mooncakes, some western pastry production techniques were added to make the taste more soft and delicious, and the taste was more mild. Tian's father and Tian's mother tasted it and praised this mooncake. But when they tasted the southern flavors of egg yolk filling, meat floss filling, pork filling and bacon filling, they became bitter and said that these flavors were simply wasted things.

Tian Chuan smiled and said, "These are southern flavors, and we northerners are generally not used to eating them. However, some southerners who have lived in the north for many years have a soft spot for this, saying that it is the taste of home. ”

After chatting casually for a while, Tian Chuan went to the safe in the basement and took out the purple sand tea set given by Liu Meiting and the superb Tieguanyin brought back from the south, and made a pot of good tea. He has been with Liu Meiting for nearly a year and has learned some tea-making techniques. At this time, there is good tea, good utensils, and good water, and the tea that comes out is quite good. As soon as a few cups of tea were distributed in front of my parents, I heard a knock at the gate, and then my brother-in-law's voice came up from the courtyard: "Xiaochuan took advantage of my absence to secretly make tea again, and I smelled it from here." After a while, my sister's family went up to the terrace.

At this time, the full moon of the fifteenth day had risen for half the day, and a clear light shone down on the terrace. My sister turned off the lights, and there was only a faint moonlight on the terrace. The gazebo on the terrace is made up of grape trellises, and the two vines grow luxuriantly, and the bunches of grapes hang down, and the people sit underneath, which looks a little dark. The flowers and plants on the terrace looked a little hazy in the moonlight, but this hazy feeling did not affect the beauty of the flowers and plants at all

Feel. There was a potted osmanthus in the corner, and the small flowers that bloomed early at this time were completely invisible due to the shadow of the leaves, but the faint fragrance seemed more intense. The tea fragrance of the best Tieguanyin is faint, and it seems to be absent in this floral fragrance, but it can't be covered by the rich floral fragrance.

The brother-in-law said: "Look, although the fragrance of this tea is light, it can't be concealed in such a strong osmanthus fragrance, it must be the best tea." Pour it for me to taste. ”

Tian Chuan's pot of tea had just been brewed, and he was interrupted by the arrival of his sister's family before he could drink it, and when he heard his brother-in-law talk about it, Tian Chuan poured a cup of tea in the pot for his sister-in-law and Weiwei respectively. Tagawa's family all raised their small cups and drank the tea in one gulp. Only Tian's father in the Tian family has drunk Tieguanyin, and everyone is a little resistant to such bitter tea. Tian Ma complained again: "Such bitter tea, it must not be cheap, right? I really can't accept these high-end enjoyments." ”

Tian Chuan said with a smile: "Don't just think about its bitterness, after drinking the tea, there will be a feeling of sweetness in the throat, and the fragrance of this tea is not smoked out of other flavors of spices, but produced through the kneading process, which is a unique fragrance like Lanphelan, although it is light, it is long-lasting, and the aftertaste is endless." I also learned a little from Sister Meiting, and she said that I have an understanding of the tea ceremony. Tea made by a quasi-master like me is not so easy to drink. ”

As he spoke, the second brew of tea was brought to everyone again. My sister drank the tea and said, "Listening to Xiaochuan say this, I really feel the sweet aftertaste after the bitterness, and I think the taste of this tea is really good." Ogawa, have another drink. ”

Tagawa then brewed a third brew. At this time, the bitterness has faded a lot, but the faint fragrance like a wisp of bluegrass has become stronger. The adults were immersed in the taste of tea, but Weiwei next to her couldn't stand the bitter thing, held a bottle of orange juice and drank it vigorously, and picked up the mooncakes on the table to eat. Different from the taste of adults, Xiao Weiwei is very fond of southern-style mooncakes, and she uses a fork to fork up and cut into small pieces of mooncakes and eats them non-stop, so that her sister hurriedly stopped her, afraid that she would eat too much.

Tian Chuan said: "If Weiwei likes this taste, I still have some left, and I'll pack it for you later, okay?" Now eat some fruit first, and save the mooncakes for tomorrow." Vivi listened to her uncle's words the most, and immediately put down her fork, picked up the grapes and ate them.

After sitting for a while, my sister's family went home with the mooncakes for Weiwei, and my parents also went back to the room to sleep, leaving Yu Tianchuan alone on the terrace. At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is not as large as when it was just rising, and it seems to have become smaller. Tian Chuan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly remembered Xu Jingyi, who stayed in the capital: "On this day of reunion, will she miss me?" and then thought of Xiaohui: "She has to go to school tomorrow, she should have slept by now, right?

Tian Chuan thought about the two girls who cared about him, and he felt some feelings in his heart, so he returned to the study to get a pen and paper, and wrote down Su Shi's famous poem through the ages:

When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world. Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, and nothing will be done to say goodbye. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.
