Chapter 148: Yayun Teahouse (II)
I saw the little face of Riki sticking out.
"Uncle Shi!" Two middle-aged men suddenly beckoned.
Uncle Shi!?
The three teenagers at the same table with them looked surprised. Isn't it Tianshan Tong's grandmother who has gone down the mountain, and wanders down the mountain during the weakening period of "Eight Wilderness [***] Only, I Respect Merit Alone"? The teenagers who thought of "Dragon Babu" wanted their father to complain in their hearts.
Old man Lou, who was worried about not being able to find a location, turned around and said with a smile: "Wen Ze, Song Tian, is there a place?" ”
There were three young men, three middle-aged men, and two women on the table of the Eight Immortals. It happens that every two people occupy a side, and four people can sit in a squeeze, and it is a little reluctant to add five people in Limu.
But it doesn't get in the way, Old Man Lou's question actually meant to ask them to come forward to solve the problem, they are regular customers here. The two of them also lived up to the master's trust, found the lobby manager, and a new table of eight immortals immediately put it together.
"This is my senior uncle and ancestor, the personal disciple that your Taishi Ancestor has just received, why don't you come and see him." Song Tian drank to his two sons who were in the first year of high school. It was the uncle and ancestor who saw their small movements just now that they found out.
"I've seen Uncle Taishi." The two teenagers bowed to Limu.
"Uncle Shi." The middle-aged man named Song Tian said with a smile, "Chenxiao and Chenyi are my sons, who are in their first year of high school this year, and they have applied for the American math competition this afternoon like you, if you have any useful points, please call them." ”
"Uncle Shi." Wen Ze patted the young man beside him, and also introduced: "This is Dog Zipeng, a senior in high school, who has applied for the American Mathematics Competition on the 15th like you, and can use it as much as he wants, if he dares to disobey, I will break his leg." ”
(Today on the 10th, next week on the 15th, this kid is going to participate in two events at the same time!?) )
Song Chenxiao, Song Chenyi, Wen Zipeng, and their mother were all surprised, which surprised them even more than the game-like title of "Uncle Ancestor". And the title of this uncle doesn't seem to be fake.
(…… Husband)
(…… Dad)
…… Speak with such respect!
(…… What's the matter with this kid?! Is it really "Uncle Shi"? )
"My name is Limu, and I'm just staying at Mr. Lou's house temporarily." Limu naturally did not dare to regard himself as his uncle.
(Pear wood...) Pear wood... That's right! News from half a year ago!! It seems that something went wrong with the Olympiad? At this time, all they remembered in their minds was the old news from half a year ago.
(It seems to be a fraud in the elementary school Olympiad...... I just broke the elementary school exam in the summer, and now I'm going to take the high school math Olympiad? Although he had a slight doubt in his heart, he didn't dare to snub the "little master and uncle" no matter what.
As the saying goes, people become old and fine - if nothing else, let's just say that his master Lou Xu lived by Jingshan Park for a long time, and went out for a walk every day, and the people he talked to were all the elders in Zhongnanhai.
The longer he lives, the deeper the relationship network becomes, and the various relationships behind him are intertwined, and his personal disciples don't become Xuanwu even if they are turtles. What's more, the kid in front of him is a brilliant person! It's just that I won the first place in the elementary school math Olympiad, and now I look like I am determined to take two American high school math competitions in a row......
"Uncle Shi doesn't have to be polite, what do you say, my son will do whatever you say, where is the generation."
"In principle, Uncle Shi, you said that they would never dare to go west."
Mrs. Song and Mrs. Wen smiled and took over the errand for their sons. To tell the truth, the three teenagers only learned from their father casually twice, and they were not even considered apprentices.
But Lou Lao is really good, he doesn't hold any power after retirement, but he is better than the energy behind him.
The daughter of his ex-wife is now the wife of the secretary of the provincial party committee of Hedong Province; The daughter of the current wife is the wife of the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Military Region, one of the eight major military regions in the country. If it weren't for the early death of his two sons before the liberation, resulting in no male pillar in the family, I am afraid that he would have become a powerful family in the capital long ago.
Limu, who didn't realize Lou Lao's background, was still struggling to pursue the master of Chinese painting, Hua Qishan. was called Uncle Ancestor and Uncle Tai by people who were older than him again and again, but Li Mu just smacked his lips and didn't refute Old Man Lou's face.
#居然是'Tai-Uncle Shizu', I just don't know where this uncle came from, isn't it Tianshan?
#太师叔祖来参加高中数学竞赛也不怕闪着腰, can knowledge keep up with the times? I also dare to report the third group of high school.
The two teenagers muttered quietly.
#你们两个小声点.
The young man, who was two years older than them, felt that it was not appropriate, so he poked them to remind them, and the two ladies looked at Limu in embarrassment.
Riki blinked. I wanted to ignore their conversation directly, but now it is difficult for the two ladies to step down, and explain where they come from with the concept of taking a step back and opening up the sky:
"I'm really from Tianshan, I live in the Vulture Palace, don't look at my youth, in fact, I'm not much younger than Mr. Lou."
Limu's expression was indifferent, and he carried the five-chamber resonance, and his voice was very rich. He glanced at the crowd lightly, leaning back in his chair very comfortably, his form turning from bloated to lazy. The appearance of the troublesome made the audience fall silent, the two old men, the couple, and the young man all quieted down, could this extraordinary child in front of him really be Tianshan Tong's grandmother?
(Sure enough, it's from the Tianshan Mountains!) The two teenagers were startled.
"What? Isn't this joke funny? Riki asked.
Playing, joking?
"Hah...... Ha ha. ”
"Hahahaha~"
"Hahaha, it's funny, it almost scared us."
Because of a not-so-funny joke, morning tea gradually returned to normalcy and began to enter the topic of pastime chat.
During the conversation, Riki learned that there are not many tea drinkers in City B, and the reason why it is now crowded is actually because there are two floors above the second floor that have not been opened.
Lou Lao used to live in Jiangnan, and he couldn't forget the pastime of the teahouse, so he often took his apprentices to eat morning tea. Gradually, some of these apprentices developed the habit of entering the teahouse.
Eating morning tea is a specialty of the South. Drinking tea, eating breakfast pastries, reading newspapers, chatting or talking about business, work and leisure are the secrets of southerners' relatively long lives.
The decoration of Yayun Teahouse must be an imitation of Jiangnan Teahouse, and it is also possible that the owner was originally a southerner who came to City B to do business. The square solid wood table is the Eight Immortals Table, and the four sides of the Big Eight Immortals Table are suitable for two or three people on each side, and it is a couple or a family of three. There is a rockery on the wall outside the teahouse, and the noisy atmosphere of the old teahouse is also the same.
In a corner of the teahouse, there are also layers of bamboo cages, shrimp dumplings, dry steamed, preserved egg and lean porridge, and phoenix feet stacked on top of the dim sum stall...... You can find everything in the general teahouse here, but compared with the old teahouse, it still lacks a little bit of its own characteristics, and each old teahouse in Jiangnan will have some unique side dishes.
Compared with many teahouses in Nanhua, the biggest difference between Yayun Teahouse and many teahouses in Nanhua is actually "time". In the south, it usually takes three or four hours to sit at the teahouse, and it doesn't end until 11 p.m. Gathering with parents, meeting relatives and friends, this is the real purpose of morning tea. Therefore, morning tea time is a particularly cordial meeting time.
When the teahouse moved to City B, eating morning tea became eating breakfast. The pace of life in a highly developed city is very fast, and the Yayun teahouse is crowded with people who come and go in a hurry. Limu had only eaten for half an hour when he saw a new batch of people in the teahouse—a real batch of people from beginning to end. After sitting in the teahouse for an hour, even the Wen and Song families said that something was wrong, and they all left Mr. Lou and left.
On the premise that there is something to deal with, they do not think that it is unreasonable to abandon the tea friend and leave alone, and obviously they cannot understand the way southerners spend their time in tea houses.
Consuming time is purposeless and passive; Time spent is subjective and positive. Southern morning tea is not a consumption of time, but a consumption of time, so it becomes delicious and presents the leisurely beauty of life.
The best thing to sell in the teahouse in City B is soy milk and fritters...... People here treat the morning tea house as a fast food restaurant, and after eating, they rush to work.
- Write it down, write it down! In the future, you can draw original comics......
Riki was eager to draw this teahouse with a brush and save it as manga material for his own materials. The scene of the teahouse in City B, the surnames of the characters of the capital's office workers, will definitely be used when the comics are drawn in the future.
“…… But we still have our own pastime, if it is placed in spring or summer, I will take you to Beihai, sit by the lake under the willow shade to make a cup of Biluochun, grab a bucket of melon seeds with oil paper, squint your eyes and enjoy the breeze, this is the real feeling of our morning tea. Old man Lou made a gesture of grabbing the cup and pouring it into his mouth.
The North Sea, the Middle Sea, and the South China Sea are not seas, but mean lakes in the local language. Zhongnanhai is heavily guarded and difficult to enter, but Beihai is an open area, and people from outside the Fifth Ring Road can also go there for tea if they are tired.
The people of the capital also have their own way of drinking tea and leisure, but it is limited to the elderly who have retired.
At this time, the office workers in the teahouse changed batch after batch, and one of the two Eight Immortal Tables was removed, leaving only Mr. Lou, Mrs. Lou, Limu, Isha and Muzi. They sat in this busy teahouse of soy milk + fritters but looked different, and after sitting for a long time, they felt crooked, and Mr. Lou left the teahouse at the suggestion of Limu.
Later, Limu came to the legendary National Art Museum of China, the holy land of Chinese art...... Door. This is not a stationery store that sells stationery and painting supplies, but a mecca that specializes in art supplies. It's a pity that the family that should have bought it already has it, and despite the strong desire to buy, Limu finally bought only a pile of manuscript paper.
Visit the old courtyard houses...... I didn't say anything all the way, and after returning to the hospital, I kept drawing comics until the afternoon.
Suddenly, the Chinese Painting Society, the Chinese painting master Hua Qishan came to Lou's house to pay New Year's greetings!
