When I am free, the greatest pleasure is to wander around this familiar city and find a different cup of tea.
The first time I saw "Meet the Time You Want", it was also such a season. In early winter in Shanghai, before it is too cold, the plane leaves have floated all over the floor, wrapped in a little cold rain.
At the bus stop by the roadside, a row of bamboos came into view and could not be seen clearly. Only the gray steps lead to a warm door.
Step by step, all the way poetic.
"If love is a kind of time, then not loving is a kind of darkness."
"Fermentation is distress, just like changing together is distress."
"I want to tell you euphemistically that life is black tea, and less is more."
"Aquilaria sinensis will bring fragrance, but it will always be as fragrant as first love."
"One more drink, one more drink, we will start, we will not end."
…………
My busy heart was immediately ironed warm and appropriate by that poem.
It turns out that behind the bamboo I just saw standing on the roadside, there is an artificial pool and two glass houses. Amazing again.
Sitting quietly, soft background music sounded in my ears, guzheng music flowing, gentle and euphemistic ... simple Japanese tatami space, simple wooden tea table, antique porcelain tea set and special tea list.
Green leaves are printed on the cover, and "Youth is short, like sparks, and youth is long, because memory is long ..."
Open the tea list and see the story of this store and its owner.
The story begins with agarwood.
In the spring of 20 1 1, the shopkeeper collected the first agarwood in his life. That year, in a small courtyard in the French Concession, he decided to slow down his life.
That spring is the corner of the master's life. If life can be divided into several segments, then this segment will open when he meets the "time" he wants.
In 20 14, he opened the first teahouse. He always wanted to have a home, a unique and simple teahouse with tea, books and incense. Unfortunately, this city is in such a hurry that it is difficult to find such a teahouse. When his collection of poems "Meet the Time You Want" was officially published, he turned the teahouse he wanted into what it is now. In the bustling downtown, it is quiet and safe, which is called "meeting the time you want."
Make a pot of warm black tea and order a column of agarwood. Like Zhang Ailing's "The First Furnace Incense", the story begins like this. ...
On the street, the traffic coming and going, the parents who pick up their children from work. But in the glass room, it is another world, where the music is clear, the tea is warm, there are poems at hand, and the words are affectionate. ...
Drinking tea and reading alone that afternoon, because of this special "meeting", people feel extremely relaxed.
I had tea with some teachers for the second time and made an appointment here. I want to arrive early so that I can read it again when I have time.
I came across a special showroom in the shop. There are all kinds of incense on the shelf, which is a bit like a laboratory. I've never seen so many raw materials for making incense.
It turns out that the shopkeeper studied incense, and these are the treasures he looked for everywhere.
That day, I drank a pot of agarwood tea. Unfortunately, my taste is not high, and I can't taste the beauty of this tea. I just feel so pale and faint, and I can smell a faint fragrance.
When I left, I found an Yi An Xiang Xue on the counter. Last year, I wrote a paper on Li Qingzhao and bought a lot of books to read. At that time, I thought this was the most special. Seeing that the author seems to have the same surname, I wrote it down silently, only to find that it was really this gentleman when I went home.
Although I bought an old version, I am really glad of this wonderful meeting. Reviewing familiar words adds a touch of reunion of old friends. The beauty of life in words is transformed from fragrance and refreshing.
What impressed me at that time was that there were not many things that writers wanted to stay in this world.
I found an interview article, and I like his words, "We will try to live a real life. We will not pretend to be naive, nor will we pretend to have taste. We won't pretend to go back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty or the great people and know so much about tea fragrance, but just live in the time we want, eat tea, taste incense and write some' small articles'. " This is a simple ideal.
It is not easy for him to open a shop. I don't know how many people can read his books. How courageous a person is to stick to what he wants to do. In this impetuous society, I really need more time to think about what I should do.
Please believe:
Good things will happen,
Right there,
Among thousands of people,
When this day comes,
Neither too early nor too late,
As if I already knew,
Every time in my life,
Flowing in time for thousands of years. ...
Life can't be smooth sailing, there are always countless "obstacles" trying to block your way. That time, I also met a "roadblock", but I fin
