Chapter 84: The Tea House
August.
Long Yi resigned as general manager of Mirage Foreign Trade Company and was replaced by Jenny. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the chassis of the Twin Towers of the resort was successfully poured, and at the same time, Longjin established "Mirage Jewelry Co., Ltd.", headquartered in Longhu City, with more than 10 branches in major cities in the southwest......
Although everyone understands the truth that people can't be resurrected after death, it seems that Ryuichi hasn't completely come out of the shadows. The family also invited various masters to do it, and I don't know if it has any effect, anyway, Long has never returned to the original room to rest, except for the incense time.
On this day, Long Yi drove around the city and parked the car under the old city. Long Yi looked at the bluestone paved pedestrian street lined with shops, and various people in the shop were bargaining with the shopkeepers...... Less than 50 meters further in, barricades were set up with large iron chains, motorized vehicles were prohibited, and bicycles were still ridden......
The shops are all antique buildings, and there are few real antique houses. Long Yi was bored, looked up at the sky, a few minutes ago the sun was shining, and suddenly a large dark cloud enveloped the entire pedestrian street.
"Ghost Weather ......"
Long Yi wore a black T-shirt, black cropped pants, and flip-flops, except that his face was a little melancholy and similar to that of passers-by.
"...... Uproar"
The raindrops the size of beans fell down, and Long Yi looked up and saw a two-story small building in front of him, which was very unified with the surrounding buildings, almost identical, with blue tiles and white walls, antique wooden windows, and a red background gold signboard "Tingxin Tea House" Several vigorous and powerful big characters attracted Long Yi's attention, and the red wooden boards of the left and right pillars were engraved with "Wine Diaphragm is more joyful and bitter" and "Dream is biased and Yirui brain incense" ......
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Long Baiyi glanced at the tea house boringly, the tea house was fresh and elegant, with a pavilion and water pavilion, the light was not very good, and a slender woman could be vaguely seen playing the zither.
Long Yi sighed and walked in, and there were tea lumps more than one meter high on both sides of the gate, which looked like rock sugar gourds were strung together, but they became smaller in turn from bottom to top, the bottom one was more than one meter in diameter, and the top one was only the size of a rice bowl......
"Hello! Several? ”
A woman wearing a white cheongsam at the cash register asked with a smile, her face was very thin and makeup, her eyebrows were straight, and her hair was permed......
The dragon nodded and said, "It's me!" ”
Long Yi continued to walk inside, the decoration of the whole tea house is still good, look up, it is a translucent glass roof, no wonder the light is so dim, and in case of rain, it is even darker. On the second floor, there is probably a private room or something, and I vaguely heard the sound of mahjong and the desktop colliding, and Long Yi counted about a dozen private rooms on the second floor.
Next to the cash register is a staircase with glass frames on both sides filled with pebbles of various colors, and further inside is a silver-plated mural with a theme related to tea culture, right? The dragon didn't have time to take a closer look, but the red fish in the pool saw the people suddenly leave and stirred up a lot of waves.
Long Yi walked to the pavilion and sat down, and there was a root carved coffee table more than one meter long in the pavilion, which was exquisitely carved, and the birds and beasts were lifelike. Not far away, the woman in the pavilion was playing "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", her slender fingers were elegantly plucking the strings, her hair was coiled on her head, and there was no expression on her face, she seemed to be also melancholy, and her eyes were slightly closed......
A woman in a white dress and a long black skirt walked up to Long Yi and asked with a smile, "What kind of tea do you drink?" ”
Ryuichi: "Do you have any recommendations?" ”
The woman said: "We have a lot of tea in our store, and the ones that sell well are Pu'er, Tieguanyin, West Lake Longjing and jasmine tea......
Long Yi: "Then Pu'er!" Is there a private room upstairs? ”
The woman nodded: "Yes!" Shall I take you up? Is Pu'er better or average? ”
Ryuichi: "You can do it......"
When I got to the second floor, each private room was named, all kinds of things, I was dazzled by Long Yi, Long Yi looked downstairs, the woman playing the piano had changed the tune, "Ambush on All Sides", plucking the strings like a storm.
Long Yi walked to a private room called "Tingxin Pavilion" directly facing the gate and said, "Let's just this one......"
The woman said, "Sit down first, and I'll go and prepare ......."
The dragon is a little headed, the whole private room is not small, can accommodate about ten people, there are TV and audio equipment, there is an automatic mahjong machine, and some tea bricks and tea cakes are placed in the glass wall cabinet...... There was a faint smell of tea in the whole private room, and the black sofa was very soft, and Long fell asleep as soon as he leaned on it......
A few minutes later, the woman entered the private room with a plate, and when she saw that Long Yi was asleep, she didn't know what to do, so she had to put down the plate and walk out of the private room.
"Sister Xiaoyan, the guest is asleep, is this tea brewed or not?"
Sister Xiaoyan is the owner of Tingxin Tea House, the woman who was just playing the guzheng, wearing a white dress and a black long skirt, which seems to be the standard work clothes of the tea house.
Xiaoyan: "Sasha, you don't have to worry about it...... I'll check it out! ”
Sasha: "Hmm! Good. ”
Pan Xiaoyan entered the private room, and saw that Long Yi was sleeping peacefully on the sofa, and he couldn't say anything, so he went to the sofa opposite Long Yi and sat down. Pan Xiaoyan took out her mobile phone and played, the rain was still falling outside the window, and she had no intention of stopping at all......
Seeing that it was gradually darkening outside the window, Pan Xiaoyan put down her mobile phone and prepared to get up and go to the window to take a look.
"Ding Ding ......"
When the call came, Long Yi opened his eyes and glanced at the tea that had not yet been brewed on the coffee table, and then looked at the woman who had just picked up the phone......
Pan Xiaoyan: "Wait a minute...... I'll answer the phone......"
The dragon looked at the woman in front of him a little bit, intellectual, her curved eyebrows were very delicate, phoenix eyes, she did feel like a fox, her face was also good, her nose was also smart, and it was especially rare to see a pear vortex, her smile was so sweet, and her teeth were white enough......
Pan Xiaoyan hung up the phone in a hurry and said, "I'm sorry to ......"
Ryuichi: "It's okay, where's the bathroom?" ”
Pan Xiaoyan: "Go out and turn left...... Just go straight...... Can you make tea? ”
The dragon walked out of the private room a little bit, the top of the corridor are square chandeliers, the soft light looks very comfortable, the sound of mahjong comes from time to time in the private room passing by, it seems that drinking tea and playing cards is not wrong, and there is the voice of the football commentator in the private room, and everyone really has it.
When Long Yi washed his face and returned to the private room, he saw that the woman had already made tea......
Ten minutes later, after drinking a few cups of tea, Long Yi said, "Hey...... Aren't you the one who just played the piano? Or a tea master? ”
Pan Xiaoyan nodded and smiled: "Yes! My surname is Pan ......"
Ryuichi: "What time is it?" ”
Pan Xiaoyan looked at her phone and said, "It's past eight o'clock...... It's almost nine o'clock, are you in a hurry? ”
Ryuichi: "Don't be in a hurry......"
It was already more than eleven o'clock when he left the tea house, and when Long Yi returned home, the family was asleep, Long Yi returned to the room and put on incense, sighed and returned to the kitchen to find some snacks to eat and then went back to the club in the basement. Turning on the TV, I felt very bored watching the TV that I didn't know what plot was playing, so I walked to the wine shelf and opened the red wine and drank it.
Long Yi is convinced that the two most heart-wrenching things in a man's life are the loss of a good friend and the loss of his woman. The second thing has already happened, and it seems very heavy.
No matter how helpless it happened, it happened, because Long Yi knew how difficult it was to forget after such a tragic event. Who can really take care of the liver and gallbladder? Who is the red line of your life? What's right and what's wrong? Which is more important?
Long Yi felt that the theory of "people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes" seemed to have no meaning, until he lost the aftermath, Long Yi inevitably realized the "hero's end" and "can't help himself". The whole incident has become an unbearable weight in Long Yi's life, hidden in a corner of his heart, and it will be even more cruel and cold in the dead of night.
People's dressing habits will change with the mood, and gradually Long Yi likes black, and a black dress seems to fit his heart. Long Yi no longer participates in any work in the company, and even eats at the same time as his family. Long Xiaopeng didn't say anything anymore, if he could make Long Yi feel better, then what was there? That's it......
Long Yi would drive out for a few days, and he wouldn't come home until late, Jenny was curious: "Brother...... Where are you going? ”
Ryuichi: "I'll go to the pedestrian street for tea!" Are you going? Together? ”
Jenny shook her head: "Hey...... I'm not as idle as you, don't go, remember to go home early for dinner! ”
Tingxin Tea House.
Sasha walked downstairs and said, "Sister Xiaoyan, you're asleep again...... I'm really convinced...... Did you go as a thief at night? ”
Pan Xiaoyan nodded, and cashier Wang Na smiled: "What do you care about him?" It's not that you don't give money? I would like to see more people like this, and it will be easy to sleep in the VIP room every day, unlike some guests who call us around all day long......"
Pan Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "Leave it to me!" What's the matter call me...... Feiyun Pavilion has been set for four hours, and when the time is up, I will notify you. ”
Sasha: "Okay, got it, get busy!" ”
Pan Xiaoyan returned to the "Listening Heart Pavilion" and involuntarily looked at the man in front of her, black from head to toe, with messy hair, tightly knit brows, and a beard that hadn't been shaved for a few days......
I thought: I slept so soundly! I don't talk much, every time I come to drink tea, I sleep until dark, and I don't have to work for more than ten hours? Don't have to eat dinner?
Pan Xiaoyan picked up a book from the sofa and read it, the business of the tea house is not bad, and the life is quite happy, at least very leisurely. I spend time in the tea house every day, and I get off work at midnight. There are no friends, and the life circle is very simple, except that Wang Na and Li Sha at the cashier are relatively close, not to mention girlfriends. There are also four tea masters, and Pan Xiaoyan basically doesn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with them, and it is purely a relationship between superiors and subordinates......
There are three VIP private rooms in the tea house, and Tingxin Pavilion has been idle for a long time, on the one hand, it is too big to be applicable, and on the other hand, the fee is much more expensive than other private rooms.
Pan Xiaoyan put down the book, and was also a little curious, when she came to the tea house alone, it seemed that she would never wake up, could it be that she was working at night?
