Walking with Cats [Quick Transmigration]

Before arriving at Hongye Town, Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang traveled by water for the last journey.

In the morning, the mist on the Biluo River covered the gloomy sky and the undercurrent under the water.

A small boat with a black poncho rowed from the depths of the reeds, the pole of the boat stirred up the water waves, and gradually headed towards the sleeping ancient town on the other side amidst waves of ripples.

The boatman wearing a bamboo hat stood at the bow of the boat and hummed southern songs while sailing. The singing was soft and long, and it floated far ahead along the direction of the stream.

Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang were sitting at the stern of the boat, one was peeling lotus seeds with freshly picked lotus pods, the other was fishing for Jiang Taigong with a fishing rod.

There are already signs of winter in the north at this time, and it has snowed a few times, but it still seems to be autumn in the south. Remnant lotus leaves can be seen everywhere on the stream, and there are many lotus pods.As the boat drifted down, Cheng Dan's mouth was already full of the sweet taste of lotus seeds.

"Is fishing on a moving boat really rewarding?" Cheng Dan peeled off a few lotus seeds, removed the lotus hearts and put them in a small bamboo basket to make tea in the future, and fed one to Zhang Yuliang.

"Whoever wants to take the bait should have it naturally." Zhang Yuliang knocked out a perch with divine power, caught it with the hook, put it in the fish basket, and said nonsense without changing his expression, "When we arrive in Hongye Town, Let's find a restaurant and ask the chef to cook us local specialties with these fish."

Cheng Dan leaned on him and asked curiously, "What restaurant allows guests to bring their own ingredients?"

"There is a century-old shop in Nanxie Lane, Hongye Town. The fish is first-class. Customers are allowed and even encouraged to bring their own fish there." Zhang Yuliang swung his fishing rod, and another red-scaled carp was hooked, and it was stuffed into the fish basket in a daze. "I passed by here when I was distracted traveling around the world. I had the honor to taste a steamed sea bass cooked by the boss. It was delicious and had endless aftertaste."

Cheng Dan, who was eating lotus seeds, was told by him that he was hungry: "Then we will eat fish at the first stop in Hongye Town."

"Okay." Zhang Yuliang smiled, turned her head and stole a kiss on his lips, the sweet smell of lotus seeds suddenly overflowed between her lips and teeth.

Cheng Dan calmly stuffed a lotus seed into his mouth.

The boat drifted slowly on the stream until the sky broke and the morning mist cleared away, and then it docked at a leisurely pace.

After crossing the pontoon bridge and stepping on the wet stone steps, we will arrive at Hongye Town.

If the morning in Chang'an is a lively and vibrant scene, then Hongye Town must be the Taoyuan secret place that Tao Gong longs for.

The cool wind carries water vapor across the streets and alleys, like fog but not fog, creating a faint and lazy atmosphere.The ground is paved with bluestone and is uneven, but every protrusion has been polished to a proper roundness by years of trampling, which neither looks wet nor slippery.

The dormitories of blue bricks and black tiles are scattered among the continuous streets and alleys. People with yards plant flowers and grass, people who rely on water wash yarn and wash clothes, and people who neither rely on water nor have yards plant a clump of asparagus in the corner. The branches and leaves are beautiful and verdant.

Looking higher up, the mountains not far away are full of smoke and mist, and the bell is beautiful.That is where the world-famous thousand-year-old tea garden in Hongye Town is located, and it is almost equivalent to the only existence in this isolated ancient town that is related to outsiders.

The sky was bright, and there were a few stalls scattered on the street, and a few people who bought breakfast walked by. It was not lively, but it was not deserted at all. Instead, it gave people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

No matter what the identity of the people here, male or female, old or young, they all have a pair of clear eyes and a clean temperament.

They stay away from the mundane world all day long and live a self-sufficient and leisurely life, so they have a clear heart and few mundane things and contradictions invade them.

Of course, this kind of life has advantages and disadvantages. Some people like it and some people don't like it. Therefore, from time to time, a group of people yearning for prosperity, fame and fortune will come out of Hongye Town.

It's just that the vast majority of these people will return here in their later years, and because they have personally experienced the world of mortals and wade through the sea of ​​suffering, they cherish this peaceful life that was once abandoned even more.

Among the old people that Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang met, there were several such people.

The temperament of the residents who have left Hongye Town and the residents who have been living in Hongye Town are very different. As outsiders, they can easily tell the difference.

"It's still early, let's take the fish to the restaurant in Nanxie Lane to store, then wander around the town, or visit the ancient tea garden, and then go back to the restaurant for dinner at noon." Zhang Yuliang made a simple arrangement Today's itinerary.

Cheng Dan's sudden hunger has long passed, and he has no objection to his arrangement.

So the two walked through the winding streets and alleys, stepped on the moss-stained stone steps and entered a room on a high place.

The restaurant Zhang Yuliang mentioned is called "Fish House". The layout is simple, but it is filled with the charm of time.

There is only one boss, one clerk and one shopkeeper in the fish house.The boss is also a cook, and he loves fish by nature. Even the decorations on the clothes are all kinds of fish. The wooden hairpin is also a double fish pattern, which is very recognizable.

Since the boss has seen Zhang Yuliang's distracted side and he has a good memory, he recognized Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang as soon as they entered the door, and greeted the latter with a smile: "What kind of fish did the guest bring this time?" coming?"

As I said before, the fish house allows and even encourages customers to bring fish to the door. Last time when Zhang Yuliang was distracted, he brought a very fat sea bass, which was favored and praised by the boss, and he was able to enjoy the priority of serving privilege.

Because of that perch, the boss remembered his face so clearly. Six or seven years later, he still did not forget it.

"One perch and one carp." Zhang Yuliang handed over the fish basket, "Both are better than the last one."

The boss took a look at the fish basket and saw that the condition of the two fish was the same as what Zhang Yuliang said, and he immediately beamed with joy: "The fish is a good fish, so I naturally have to use my housekeeping skills to cook it with my heart. If the guests Don't worry, you might as well come back at noon, the old man will definitely not disappoint you two."

His proposal coincided with Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang's plan, and the two naturally agreed without hesitation, and then left the fish house with ease.

"Where do you want to go first?" Zhang Yuliang asked softly, holding Cheng Dan's shoulder.

Cheng Dan thought about it seriously, turned his eyes to the ancient tea garden that was almost in front of him, and said with a dark smile to Manshan: "Shall we go and taste the thousand-year-old tea first?"

"Okay." Nodding slightly, Zhang Yuliang took out the lotus heart left by Cheng Dan from his bosom, "I will match it with the lotus heart, and I will give you an early summer scenery in winter."

Cheng Dan looked up at him, his eyes were full of brilliance.

The ancient tea garden is located on the mountainside, walk up for [-] quarters of an hour from the man-made path, and seeing the stone tablet with the words "ancient tea garden" means that the tea garden has arrived.

Now is not the season for tea picking, there are not many people in the tea garden except for the tea farmers who come to check the condition of the ancient tea trees, and there are few tourists and tea drinkers.

There are a few simple tea sheds around, some of them are looked after, and the fragrance of tea is endless.Some are empty, just for rest.

Although the name of the ancient tea garden has the word "ancient", there are only three real millennium tea trees, and the total amount of tea produced each year is not enough to pay tribute to.

But for Zhang Yuliang, this is not a big deal.

Cheng Dan was dragged to sit under an empty tea shed, and saw Zhang Yuliang slowly conjure up a tea set, water for cooking tea, and a small pot of dark blue tea leaves shaped like needles.

Most importantly, the tea leaves are still fresh and unroasted, and the leaves are still dripping with dew, as if they had just been picked from the tree.

"Could it be...thousand-year-old tea?" Cheng Dan subconsciously lowered his voice, "Did you pick it now?"

"The name of this tea is 'Tianxiangxue'. The biggest difference from ordinary tea is that it is freshly brewed. The fresher the tea, the more mellow and timeless the tea will be." Zhang Yuliang carried the pot to boil water, and Shi Shiran said: " The most suitable water for Tianxiangxue is the clear spring in the deep mountains, and the water at the bottom of the spring must be clean and tasteless, so that it can set off the rich fragrance of the tea itself."

As soon as the words fell, there was a gurgling sound in the pot, and the turbulent water was white as snow, and he used it to clean the tea set and brew the tea for the first time.

Although the tea has not been officially brewed, a cold and strange fragrance has been washed out by the hot water, swaying and lingering.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Cheng Dan lost his mind for a moment because of the fragrance, came back to his senses, tugged at his sleeve and asked again.

"I'm not a gentleman on the beam, I don't do such stealthy things." Zhang Yuliang nodded Cheng Dan's forehead, and his hands kept moving, "It's true that the tea was picked not long ago, but I didn't pick it, but the tea tree spirit offered it on its own .”

Cheng Dan's eyes widened in surprise: "Tea tree essence?"

"After staying in such a beautiful place for 1000 years, even a pig should become a spirit." Zhang Yuliang picked up the kettle and poured hot water into the teapot, and started the second brew. If you know the purpose of my coming here, you will naturally express it, so I accepted it logically."

After listening to his explanation, Cheng Dan finally understood the ins and outs, and couldn't help laughing: "Your identity is really useful."

Zhang Yuliang smiled slightly, added some lotus hearts to the boiling tea, pinched the divine power into fire, and after a little steaming, another strange fragrance wafted out, even overpowering the fragrance of tea trees all over the mountains and plains, which made people look sideways.

"Come on, have a taste." Zhang Yuliang poured a cup, stroked his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Dan.

The aroma was so strong that Cheng Dan took the small jade cup and was almost indulging in the tempting tea smell. Fortunately, the heat coming from the cup wall woke him up.

Just at this time, the temperature of the tea also dropped to the level that could be drunk, Cheng Dan drank it all in one gulp, feeling all kinds of tastes rushing to his heart from the tip of his tongue in an instant, and countless past and past events came one after another.

"The second thing Tianxiangxue is different from ordinary tea is its unique taste." Zhang Yuliang's commentary was separated by a layer of mist, and it was not clear to Cheng Dan's ears, "Listen to the piano and listen to the heart The same is true for drinking tea. It’s just that Qin listens to other people’s hearts, but tea tastes one’s own heart.”

The red furnace fry the snow, and the silent sword hears Zen.

What is boiling in the teapot is more than just water and tea leaves.

Cheng Dan only took a sip of tea, but recalled many old events, each of which seemed to come in a hurry in the wind and snow, and then hurried away in the wind and snow.

The beautiful scenery and pleasant things in the memory are far away as the taste of tea fades away.

"It's really good tea." Cheng Dan put down the cup, tasted a little bit of lotus heart's bitterness on the tip of his tongue, and it turned to sweetness after a while.

This change from bitter to sweet can be described as the finishing touch.

Zhang Yuliang also drank a cup, his expression was indifferent, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Cheng Dan asked curiously, "What do you remember?"

Zhang Yuliang smiled without saying a word, just stared at him, his eyes were full of his figure.

Cheng Dan suddenly understood.

Oh, thought of me.
