Chapter 2 Tuesday
The old man's relative in Longjing Village is called Tuesday.
I went to a small hotel near Hangzhou station to stay overnight, the next day just after dawn to call him, and the old man asked me to say word for word to this Tuesday, this Tuesday is indeed a warm-hearted person, patiently to do a few buses can go to Longjing Village, how to transfer fast and cost-effective these questions told me.
With the bumpy mountain road, the bus came to a valley surrounded by mountains, which is Longjing Village.
Longjing Village is not the same as I imagined, I naturally have never been here before, my impression of it is still in the imaginary image of a small green mountain village, but it really makes me refreshed after arriving, looking at both sides of the bus, this Longjing Village looks like it has long become a tourist destination. There are nearly ten tourist attractions in the village alone, and there are various scenic spots such as the Royal Tea Garden, Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, Ten Miles Langjue, and Laolongjing. Longjing Village covers a large area, but most of it is tea plantations, and the dwellings only occupy a corner of it. Although there are still rows of verdant and pleasant tea trees at a glance, the whole village has long been no longer just planting tea and selling tea, eating, leisure, and lodging, and it has long been a tourist resort here.
But what surprised me even more was the appearance of Tuesday, this Tuesday turned out to be a middle school student who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a white T-shirt, neat hair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, his voice on the phone sounded very mature and steady, but who would have thought that he was still a teenager.
He stood under a camphor tree in the shade and waved at me enthusiastically when he saw me. His face was filled with an innocent and honest smile.
"Hello, Brother Liu."
It turned out that he was a student studying in Shandong, and now he went home to help his parents share some labor during the holidays. Most of them are in the form of family workshops, and the whole family works together to manage tea, so he naturally can't be lazy to do it, but it is really commendable to have such a hard-working consciousness at a young age.
On Tuesday, I was led to his bungalow, which was in the middle of a residential area lined with the same bungalows as theirs. This "bungalow" is his own words, I don't think so, this is a bungalow, this is obviously a two-story villa, with a terrace, with a high living room, compared to our simple four-bedroom living room, this is simply the standard of a high-end club. On Tuesday, he took out a lot of tea samples at his house, let me taste them in turn, there are several Longjing tea production areas in Longjing Village, and the taste of Longjing tea in different production areas is also different, "Lion" brand, "Dragon" brand, "Tiger" brand, I am dizzy to hear, in fact, in terms of my sense of taste, these tea leaves are very good, more clear and moisturizing than the Longjing tea I drank before, as for the specific tea in these different production areas, what is the difference between high and low tea, I think that the ability to taste tea is difficult to screen for the time being.
Drinking tea is a relatively slow job, and by the time I finished tasting the cups of tea handed to me on Tuesday, it was already afternoon, and I only felt swollen after drinking so much water, coupled with the chatter of the introduction on Tuesday, I was still refreshed, but I was a little tired at this moment.
I'm not very picky about shopping, which is related to the life of Beipiao back then, when I was poor, I could eat a meal every day, and I was a small roadside shop, and I couldn't care about what I thought of, and I couldn't care about the good or bad at all. It's the same with buying tea, I think Tuesday's tea tastes really good, so I don't want to waste any more time, so I said to Tuesday. "Little brother, I think it's okay, or let's settle this business."
Tuesday was still a student after all, and it was really very worrying to hear that I was in such a hurry to buy. "Brother Liu, don't worry, haven't you gone to my tea garden yet? You can't be in a hurry to buy things, if you are not satisfied with our tea in the future, it will not be good for everyone. ”
So he was dragged by Tuesday to see their family's tea garden, Tuesday's family should be relatively wealthy in Longjing Village, and his family has three tea gardens alone, and they are in three locations that are relatively far apart. Seeing the tea garden is equivalent to seeing the entire Longjing Village, and I am tired of backache. In Hangzhou in May, the weather was already a little hot, and I was soaked after not long walking.
Hangzhou is a colorful city, West Lake, Lingyin Temple are famous for the good scenery, but I didn't expect Longjing Village to be so poetic, winding mountain road, reflecting the heavy memory of the bluestone slabs, winding stone steps. This small village seems to have been soaked in ink that has been sketched with landscape paintings, and is full of refreshing charm. Together with the villas scattered all over the place, all this has long been written into a poem.
The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people.
By the time we had seen all the tea plantations, it was already dusk, and the summer sunset was so red that it always gave people a burning feeling. The tea was finished, the shopping was done, and it was time to talk to this Tuesday about business, and I guess Tuesday also guessed that I would be one of his long-term customers, so he took me to watch it tirelessly. But when he heard that I was going to sign a twenty-year contract with him, the shock was still on his face.
"Brother Liu, you are too refreshing, can you sell it if you buy so much?" Tuesday touched his round head suspiciously.
In fact, I want to tell him that with my Yuge here, as many tea leaves can be sold, which is of course very simple and face-saving, but if you accidentally say what you shouldn't say, it will be self-defeating, after thinking about it, I chose to just smile and nod to him.
Since the business has been negotiated, I should also prepare to return, at this moment, Yu Ge is estimated to be still settling the daily accounts in the tea shop, and I can help her share it as soon as I go back early. Coupled with what Daoist Zuo said to me before I came, although it was strange and bizarre, I still believed it. Naturally, I have to be cautious, since everything has gone so well, it is safe to go back a day earlier.
"Don't, big brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave when you come to Hangzhou, Hangzhou is such a good place." Tuesday had a look of surprise on his face when he heard what I was in a hurry to leave.
"I'm actually more homesick. The beautiful scenery of Liangchen has always been there, and there is no rush for a while. That's all I could say to him.
"That's not good, big brother, you bought me so much tea, I want to at least treat you to a meal." Tuesday dragged me out of the house. "If I don't even invite a meal for such a big deal, what will I do in this business in the future."
I didn't expect this young man to be so enthusiastic on Tuesday, and the young student was already so sophisticated. I couldn't resist him after repeated refusals, thinking that it was just a meal anyway, and it would be too late to leave after eating, so I vaguely agreed to him. In fact, I have already thought of what Zuo Daochang said, he said that Hangzhou is a monster colony, but no matter how you look at it this Tuesday, I look like a normal person, because of my previous life, I still have a different perception of monsters than ordinary people. My instinct told me that it would be fine to follow him.
Intuition is a thing that sometimes saves people, and sometimes it hurts. It turned out that my instincts this time were ridiculous. I regret it a little now when I think about it, and if I hadn't gone to that meal on Tuesday, maybe that sad story wouldn't have happened.
On Tuesday, I drove leisurely on the highway in Hangzhou, and the sky was slowly getting dark, and the bright lights began to flicker all around. Hangzhou is really a city with a humanistic atmosphere, I saw many silk shops and calligraphy and painting shops on both sides of the street, the snail ancestor planted mulberry silkworms and spun silk, and the silk weaving and embroidery were magical. Even what is sold is brewing with poetry.
The city, which was still graceful and introverted just now, became bright and green in a blink of an eye, and the pedestrians on both sides gradually increased, and from time to time you could see women with beautiful clothes and extraordinary temperament shuttling through the streets and alleys.
"Big brother, let me tell you, we get off work at five o'clock, after getting off work, everyone will consciously have some fun, people in the city of Hangzhou value leisure and entertainment, and will never delay life because of work. Do you see the little shops on either side? Not only us civilians will come, but even the mayor will often come to visit. "Tuesday spoke to me slowly, and his tone revealed his love for his hometown.
I nodded incredulously. "What do you think I should buy for home?"
"Big brother, the silk on our side is very famous, you can buy a silk and give it to your girlfriend, I am sure she will be satisfied. It's better to send anything than something practical. "Introduce me to Tuesday while driving.
I think it makes a little sense, because Yu Ge is not suitable for the weather here in the Central Plains, coupled with her own physical problems, she suffered from a very serious cold last winter. I'll buy her a set of silk bedding, and she'll love it. So get out of the car and enter a silk furniture store to watch, this is not to get off the car is good, get off the car to feel a breath of intoxication, the closer to the store, the more I feel the smell of the strong.
It can't be a youkai, right? I was secretly thinking in my heart.
When I walked into the room, I was stunned, the owner was a sultry and beautiful woman, she had fair skin, light makeup, and eyelashes at the corners of her eyes that looked sparkling in the light. She looked to be about twenty years old, dressed in a luxurious silk satin, her hair was very high, and she had a delicate golden hairpin on her head. It's just that these decorations are inferior to her beautiful face. I've always felt that Yuge is already a well-deserved beauty, but seeing this female boss, I can only say that there are all kinds of beauty in this world, and they are so beautiful that they have their own charm.
Is this the beauty of Jiangnan women?
It's truly intoxicating.
"Two bosses, what do you want?" The woman's speech felt soft, sweet, so that the listener could not help but fall into a gentle dreamland, and there was no longer any resentment or anger.
I stood still, only to be worn away by this red face. Can't say a word.
"We want silk quilts." Tuesday saw that I was silent and answered for me. His tone was calm, and he didn't seem to have any interest in the beauty's appearance.
"Then you've really come to the right place, our silk here is all of the best quality, light and warm, I don't believe you come to touch it." As she spoke, the woman gently grabbed my hand and asked me to touch the delicate silk on her.
I was so frightened that I quickly flashed back, and the woman winked at me again, making fun of me.
I felt dizzy and unconscious, and I could only hear Tuesday's voice drifting back and forth.
"Okay, then we're going to have this."
The smiling spring is peachy, and the clouds are piled with green buns; The lips are full of cherry blossoms, and the teeth are fragrant.
Then I was pulled out by Tuesday in a daze, back in his car, closed the door, and I took a deep breath to feel slightly better.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, are you a little tired today." Tuesday asked me puzzled.
"Huh? No no. I swallowed slowly. You Hangzhou are not a lot of such beauties. ”
"Beauty? What a beauty. "Tuesday was even more confused.
I was a little embarrassed to ask this question on Tuesday, I felt that it was the appearance of the world, this kid was indifferent, and now there was a beautiful woman, it seems that the woman just now couldn't get into his eyes at all.
"It's the female boss just now." I said stupidly, still thinking about her posture in my head.
"Big brother, you're kidding me, that's obviously an old grandmother." Tuesday burst out laughing. "Brother, your joke is a little cold."
He thought it was a joke, but his words instantly creeped me out. Is this really a monster, thinking about the decadent smell outside the house just now, I suddenly realized that this is definitely a fox demon. Tuesday's heart was simple, so what I saw was the grandmother, and I had a trace of evil thoughts, so I was almost charmed by the monster, and I really responded to the words of the chief of the left. It's just that before he reaches the West Lake, this is already about to be taken by the monsters.
It seems that he is no more disciplined than those poets.
I trembled with fright, but said to me with a wicked smile on Tuesday.
"Oh, big brother, I understand, but I can't accompany you when I'm underage, brother, I'll find you a good place after dinner in a while, so that you can rest and rest."
"Why are you saying this kind of thing so tactfully, we Jiangnan girls, it is indeed a must."
I thought back to what he said, but I never understood what he was saying.
