At the turn of spring and summer, Nongwang Nian is ready to build a simple tea shed to provide tea to passers-by in and out of the mountains, which is convenient.

On this day, he took his son Nong Jingtang to find a few thick logs, set up an awl-shaped scaffolding, supplemented by branches and hay, set up a small wooden table, set up a few small benches, and equipped with a teapot and a few tea bowls.

In the year of Nongwangnian, he ingeniously hung a wooden sign on the tea shed, titled "Sanjitang". That's how the tea shed was built.

Nong Wangnian said to his son: "Giving tea, small benefits are also, and pedestrians are beneficial, such as drought seedlings to get rain, you must know how to accumulate small goodness into great goodness." ”

"Father, the child remembers."

One day, a passer-by passed by, and when he was thirsty, a tea shed suddenly appeared, sat down, and asked, "How much is a bowl of tea for you?" ”

Nong Wangnian replied: "Drink as much as you want, no money." ”

After speaking, he handed a bowl of tea to passers-by.

After drinking the tea, the passer-by said, "There is really such a good thing in the world." ”

Nong Wangnian smiled at passers-by without saying a word.

Putting down the tea bowl, passers-by hurriedly thanked him.

The next day, another passer-by passed by the tea shed and, out of curiosity, asked, "How much money can you make selling tea?" ”

Nong Wangnian replied: "It doesn't make money." ”

Passers-by said happily, "Then a bowl." ”

Nong Wangnian handed the tea to passers-by unhurriedly.

After drinking the tea, the passer-by still didn't understand a little, and said in disbelief: "You don't make money, thanks to it!" ”

Nong Wangnian replied: "No loss!" ”

Passers-by sighed: "It's the first time I've encountered such a good thing when I've grown so big." ”

Nong Wangnian looked at passers-by and just smiled.

One day when he was idle, Nong Jingtang came to the tea shed and saw his father reading, so he asked, "Father, what book are you reading?" ”

"The Story of Immortals." Nong Wangnian looked down at the ancient book in his hand.

Nong Jingtang didn't bother anymore, so he sat down on the side, looking into the mountain from time to time.

After a while, a passer-by passed by the tea shed, looked at the two of them, probably in a hurry, gasped, and said intermittently: "Come to the bowl, tea, drink." ”

Nong Jingtang said "yes" and gave passers-by a bowl of tea.

After drinking, the passerby said, "Another bowl." ”

Nong Jingtang handed it over again, and so on and so forth.

Then, the passer-by suddenly raised his voice and said, "This is a great virtue!" ”

Nong Wangnian put down the book in his hand and replied: "This is a small favor, how can it be a great virtue?" ”

"Although the profit is small, this is a move to cultivate virtue." Passers-by are a bit learned.

"You have an overreputation, we can't afford it." Nongwang was a little panicked.

Passers-by said "yes, yes." ”

Soon, the mountain people, merchants, and even officials of the Yamen who came and went to this area knew that there was a tea shed in Longyan Village, and tea was served to pedestrians. And so the news spread.

Among the many passers-by who came and went to the tea shed, there was a merchant surnamed Xu, who admired the good deeds of Nong Wangnian very much. On this day, Mr. Xu returned to Nanyi County from Jingxiang Post Road and happened to pass by the tea shed.

"It's obviously a tea shed, why is it called Sanjitang?" Taking a sip of tea, Mr. Xu asked tentatively.

Nong Wangnian said confidently: "Although it is a small tea shed, but the sun and the moon can be seen, these three Ji, one dose of the people, two doses of land, three Jide." ”

"So what is a potion land?" Mr. Xu felt that the other "two doses" were easy to understand, but this "dose" was the only one that had doubts, so he asked.

Nong Wangnian has his own thoughts about the "medicine land": "The tea that the guest officer drank just now is given by my family's thousand-year-old tea tree. ”

"That's what it means, it's quite profound." Mr. Xu's eyes lit up.

Nong Wangnian continued to explain: "The cycle is endless. ”

"What a high view, admire!" Mr. Xu bowed his hand politely.

"The guest officer is a person running on the road, and I am just a mountain village man, how can I be worth such courtesy."

Mr. Xu was both a little curious and interested, so he asked: "What is a tea lover?" ”

"True tea lovers are refreshed." Nongwang Nian opened his mouth and came.

"What a virtuous man from the mountains!" Mr. Xu sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Nong Wangnian is also like meeting a bosom friend: "The guest officer is the master!" ”

After such a search, Mr. Xu had the intention of becoming a brother with him, he thought for a while, and then said bluntly: "You are older than me, I call you brother, you call me brother, how about it?" ”

This came a little suddenly, Nong Wangnian calmed down a little, and said: "Thanks to the guest officer, I can afford to be a man from the mountains, what is the name of the old brother?" Where are the people? "Nong Wangnian has accepted the offer.

Among the passers-by who come and go in this mountain, he is also very happy to meet a reasonable and knowledgeable person like Xu Keguan.

"My name is Xu Caiyun, and I live in Fengshan Town, where is my brother?" Xu Caiyun said with a smile.

"My name is Nong Wangnian." Nong Wangnian seemed to be infected, and he also laughed with Xu Caiyun.

In this way, the two began to call each other brothers. Since then, Xu Caiyun and Nong Wangnian have often come and gone, have similar interests, get along very happily, and slowly become close friends.

After dinner, seeing that his father was free, Nong Jingtang still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Father, why did you build a tea shed in the first place?" ”

"When your grandfather was alive, every year when new tea came out, it was distributed to nearby villagers without charging a penny. Your grandfather admonished future generations to do more good deeds, which is called convenience with others and convenience with oneself. ”

Nong Wangnian said the original intention of building a tea shed, and at the same time, he was also warning his son to understand the truth of accumulating goodness.

Nong Jingtang replied, "Father, the child remembers. ”

One day, the county magistrate sent an errand boy to look at the tea shed and say, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Nong Wangnian said: "Tea is used to quench the thirst of passers-by and eliminate irritability." ”

The errand boy then asked, "Your family is not rich, why is that?" ”

Nong Wangnian replied: "The world thinks that it is a small goodness and does not do it, and if there is a great good but cannot do it, it will not be a good thing for the rest of his life!" After hearing this, the errand man nodded yes, and then stopped asking questions and turned to leave.

It turned out that since the "Sanjitang" tea shed began to serve tea, some passers-by unconsciously spread it, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and finally to the ears of the county order, so they sent an errand to explore the truth.

After the errand went back, he reported it truthfully, and after the county magistrate learned the truth, he blurted out: "It's not a small thing, it's a great good!" ”

A few days later, two errand men came and sent a stone tablet with the inscription: "Sanjitang, giving tea and water, convenient for neighbors, is really a great good!" ”

Nong Wangnian didn't know that he had a small tea shed, and when he got it, it was just for the convenience of neighbors and merchants, and he got such praise, so he hurriedly thanked: "Please accept the grass people!" ”

The errand man said, "Cherish it." With that, he left.

That day, Xu Caiyun passed by the tea shed, and when he learned about it, he sighed with emotion: "Brother Nong, the matter is small and righteous, and it should be respected!" ”

Nong Wangnian said, "I was doing my best, but I never thought that I would get the official seal inscription, which is really deserved!" ”

Nong Wangnian not only said this, but also thought so in his heart.

Xu Caiyun said repeatedly, "Deserve it, deserve it." ”

Then, Xu Caiyun took a sip of tea, then changed the topic and asked with concern: "Brother, how is the tea doing recently?" ”

Actually, Xu Caiyun had been thinking about it for a long time and wanted to help this guy, so he asked.

Nong Wangnian smiled: "It's not the same as before." Then spread his hands out.

This tea matter has been put aside in Xu Caiyun's heart, he is a caring person.

Xu Caiyun said again, "Brother, you still have to take care of the tea matter." ”

When Nong Wangnian heard this, his eyes showed a sharp spirit, and his expression immediately became serious, and he said: "Tea is the lifeblood of my family, and I must work hard." ”

Xu Caiyun smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Nong Wangnian hurriedly said, "Brother, dial more in the future." ”

Xu Caiyun said modestly, "I'm a layman when it comes to tea, so I have to ask my brother for advice." ”

Nong Wangnian said, "I can't talk about asking for advice." Well, let's learn from each other in the future and be a reminder. ”

Xu Caiyun said repeatedly, "Okay, good." ”

Seeing that it was not too early, Xu Caiyun got up and said goodbye.

Before parting, Nong Wangnian specially prepared two packets of self-produced tea for him to taste.

"Wait a minute." After speaking, Nong Wangnian hurriedly went back to the house to get the newly made tea.

Xu Caiyun took the new tea and said with some satisfaction, "Then I will use good water to make tea, and I can't be blind to my brother's newly released tea." ”

Nong Wangnian said, "No, good water with good tea." ”

The two of them played against each other, and Xu Caiyun left.

At this time, Xu Caiyun was quite happy, although he was alone, he hummed a few mountain songs and walked slowly into the winding mountain road.

Nong Wangnian stood outside the door until he couldn't see Xu Caiyun's figure before returning to the house.

As he walked home, he thought: It seems that this brother is right.
