2. The first meeting of the tea pavilion
Two years ago
August 8, 1963, just the beginning of autumn. The weather is hot, and it is said that the three dog days are in autumn, that is, the end of the third dog is after the beginning of autumn. Dog days are scary, and autumn tigers can bite too. As long as there is a sun, the temperature of the ground is high, and even the air is hot.
Zhang Ping'an pulled up desperately, struggling to eat milk. Only then did most of the truckload of coal go up the slope. As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Ping'an felt smoke coming from his throat - thirsty! The heat emitted from the body can be used to steam a basket of steamed buns. It's not easy to buy some coal, no one helps, and going up this slope of more than 20 degrees will really tire people out. He thought that if the heat emitted from his body could be collected and used to steam steamed buns, wow! I can't quench my hunger, let alone my thirst! The fire in the pipe has to be extinguished with water! After sweating so much, the body needs to replenish water, but where is the water? I came out in the morning in a hurry and forgot to bring water. Looking up, under the shade of the tree in front, a wooden table was full of cups, and Ping An stepped forward, picked up the cup and looked: herbal tea! Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, he sent it to his mouth, and drank a cup of "Gu Lu Gu Lu" in one go. Putting down the empty cup and pouring it into his mouth, he suddenly saw a little girl looking at him, took a sip and asked, "Is this water yours?" ”
"It's not mine, is it yours?" The little girl replied stiffly.
"Ahh How much is a cup, I'll give you money! Zhang Ping'an put the cup into his mouth with his left hand, and unconsciously reached out to his pocket with his right hand - the pocket was empty, and he didn't touch the money. But the second glass of water drank more than half of it. Zhang Ping'an was a little flustered: How to explain to the little girl!
Zhao Jinju saw Zhang Ping'an's stupidity clearly, and immediately said to Zhang Ping'an with a pleasant face: "Didn't bring any money? It doesn't matter, it's just two glasses of water, drink it, it's okay! Zhang Ping'an drank the water, and the fire in his throat had been extinguished, but the sweat on his head came out again. The heat of the herbal tea won't make you break out in a cold sweat, right? Zhang Ping'an estimated that he recklessly drank two cups of herbal tea without asking the price. People will be unhappy, but I didn't expect the little girl to say that it doesn't matter. Zhang Ping'an was a little embarrassed, and seemed to be suspected of bullying the little girl. It's not to go, it's not okay to go, it's a dilemma.
"Big brother! Let's go, it doesn't matter! Zhao Jinju saw Zhang Ping'an's hesitant appearance, so he took the initiative to ask him to leave.
"I'm sorry! I didn't bring any money today, so give it next time! Zhang Ping'an finally found the price of "next time". "What's your last name?" Zhang Ping'an still asked the little girl.
"Zhao Ji Tea Pavilion!" Zhao Jinju pointed to the door - it was not a door. Just a canopy pavilion. It is made of four small logs, a piece of oilcloth and several small horizontal squares. There are four big characters on the so-called door, that is, on the small horizontal square: Zhao Ji Tea Pavilion.
