Chapter 6 Will You Give Me This Chance?
The decoration of this tea room is very elegant, and as soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a faint fragrance of tea. There are a few scattered tables in the hall, black stone and wood tables and chairs, simple and elegant, and each table is far away. Behind the table is a wall painted with plum blossoms. The middle of the wall is separated by a passageway. The young man sitting at the door of the aisle greeted the two people who walked in.
"You two, please. Do you want to have a separate seat or a private room? The young man asked with a smile.
Shi Cheng pointed to the aisle and said to Ye Keke in a negotiable tone, "Let's have a private room."
The young man then led the two men through the entire aisle, bypassed a large screen, and finally opened the door facing the screen. Pushing the door in, it seems to be full of antique.
As soon as he entered, Ye Keke was attracted by an ink painting that occupied an entire wall. In the painting, plum blossoms are full of branches, and the thick red contrasts with the black. She stood in front of the painting for a moment, her eyes full of curiosity and delight.
After the young man helped Shi Cheng to take a seat, he brought the tea list and the menu before retreating. Before leaving, I didn't forget to light the Zen incense on the black wooden foot table on the side. Ye Keke stood in front of the picture, looked back at the time, and smiled brightly, as if a beautiful woman appreciating flowers had entered the painting. When he saw it, he was suddenly distracted.
"This is a good drawing! It seems that Chinese ink painting can capture the essence of plum blossoms! "Ye Coco
"I think you like this tea room a lot!" Schedule
"That's right, the black Chinese solid wood table and chairs with the plum blossom pictures all over the wall, with the background sound of "one cut plum" and the wisps of green smoke wafting from the Zen incense, it is really a different kind of tea room, a different feeling! Even though I live right next door, it's my first time here, and if it weren't for you, I might have missed this wonderful place! Did you know this place before, so you brought me here this time? Ye Keke said as he walked around the entire tea room.
"Yes, I've been here with clients who stayed in the same hotel as you before. I guess you'll like it, so I took it upon myself to bring you here. Come, look at the tea list, what to drink? "Timeline.
"I can do it, you can watch it." After Ye Keke finished speaking, he walked over, and then sat on the opposite side of Shicheng.
After Shi Cheng rang the bell on the table, the young man soon came in again. Two hot towels were also served for guests to wipe their hands.
"Let's have two bowls of beef noodles first, one of your cold dishes of the day, and then a pot of Da Hong Pao." Shi Cheng didn't look at the menu, and directly instructed the young man.
After the dish was served, the bowl in front of the two people quickly bottomed out. The young man came in and withdrew the bowls and plates, and served tea and fruit snacks, and then withdrew again.
"The beef noodles are so delicious, I've eaten them all!" Leaf cocoa
"It's still a good Chinese food, the sandwich I just ate with those Europeans almost choked me to death, I want to drink some water and go down, it's still icy. I was getting drunk. Shi Cheng said as he skillfully sprinkled the first tea brew into one teacup, and then used tweezers to pick up another teacup and put it in the first teacup and rotate it back and forth. After repeating the rotation action several times, he placed the two small teacups side by side, put down the tweezers, and poured the tea from one teacup to the other in reverse, picked up the teacups with the tweezers and repeated the rotation action, and finally poured the remaining tea into the sea of tea.
Ye Keke watched him skillfully complete the whole step, and then carefully put one of the small teacups that had been rinsed and cleaned in front of him. She looked at Shi Cheng's expression from time to time, and his face was full of concentration.
"You don't think you're old, but you know a lot about the tea ceremony, that's good!" Leaf cocoa
"You know the tea ceremony, too?" Shi Cheng asked Ye Keke, and at the same time poured the second Zhan tea into the cup in front of her, and poured the rest into her own cup.
"Mom and Dad drink it at home, and I sometimes drink a little bit with it, and if I watch more, I understand a little bit." Ye Keke took a sip of tea and said.
"It seems that your parents are quite Chinese-style, no wonder you speak Chinese so well!" Shi Cheng sighed, and then took a sip of tea.
"Of course, although I grew up in Sydney, my parents required me to speak Chinese when I was at home. If you don't talk about it, Dad will scold. Otherwise, how could I have such a high level of Chinese today! Ye Keke said proudly.
"You are one of the few children I have met who grew up abroad and can speak Chinese fluently. One of my partners sent twins to the United States at an early age, and now the children are older, but because they are not used to speaking Chinese, they now even have difficulties communicating with their parents. But it's too late to regret it. "Timeline
Ye Keke stuck out his tongue, sighed and said, "Well, among my friends, there are also some cases like this. He said that in fact, they also tried to communicate with their parents and wanted to express their opinions to let their parents know, but because of the language barrier, they were also helpless. She was still sighing, but suddenly remembered something, so she raised her head and pouted and asked, "No, Shicheng, you are not a few years older than me, why did I become a child?" ”
"Oh, haha, yes. I don't know why, I always feel like you're still a kid. Maybe I'm old."
"No, no, you're not old. I'll just kid" In order to hide his embarrassment, Ye Keke quickly picked up the cup, blew the tea that was still steaming, and then took a sip gently.
"Coco, actually, I had something to say to you in the car before, but I was interrupted by a phone call." Shi Cheng was facing Ye Keke's eyes.
Ye Keke also looked at the man in front of her, she only felt that her heart suddenly thumped, and she felt like an electric shock. She didn't dare to look any more, and then she shifted her gaze from Shicheng's eyes to the bridge of his tall nose, and then to his people.
Shi Cheng continued, "If you can choose, before you leave, I want to pick you up from work every night like tonight, and then take you to dinner, Ye Keke, are you willing to give me this opportunity?" ”
"But I'm going back to Sydney on Friday, and the next time I come to Shanghai will be at least three months away, and if I promise you, I'll feel unfair to you." Leaf cocoa
"I think it's okay to be fair. Then I'll take you as a promise! "Timeline
"Who, who, promised you. Schedule, you cheeky guy. Haha "Ye Coco."
