With a pot of tea, Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang sat quietly in the tea garden until noon. When they felt that it was almost time, they packed up and prepared to go down the mountain to eat fish.

But halfway, the two were stopped by a little girl holding a bamboo basket.

The little girl is eleven or twelve years old, with two long braids, almond eyes and diamond lips, delicate and lovely.

Wearing cloth shoes, she ran from the mountain like a gust of wind, stood still in front of Cheng Dan, raised her head and looked at him with a smile, although she didn't speak, her clear eyes fully expressed her meaning.

Cheng Dan looked at the basket she was carrying on her arm. There were several different kinds of tea in it, some freshly picked and some roasted. The quality was not bad.

"Big brothers, grandpa asked me to bring you some tea leaves." The little girl took out four small cloth bags from her bosom, grabbed a little of each kind of tea and put them in, then tied the bags tightly and handed them to Cheng Dan, "Grandpa He said, when you come to Hongye Town, you are a guest. If you have a guest, you must treat them well. These teas are not expensive, but they are the most suitable for the two big brothers. I hope you can accept them."

"This..." Cheng Dan looked at Zhang Yuliang hesitantly.

"Thank you, and thank you grandpa for us." Zhang Yuliang patted him on the back, took the cloth bag containing the tea leaves kindly, and thanked him calmly.

"You're welcome, I wish you two have fun in Hongye Town!"

The little girl made a bow in a resemblance, then ran up the hill up and down the mountain, and soon disappeared from their sight.

After the little girl left, Cheng Dan curiously opened the bags and smelled them one by one. He thought they were all very fragrant, but he couldn't tell which types of tea they had.

Thinking of what the little girl said just now, he asked, "Yuliang, what kind of tea are these?"

"Tianxiangxue from the 20-year-old tea tree, Changsiyuan from the 30-year-old tree, Dixindan from last year's spring tea, and Jiuxiangbie picked three days ago. They are all varieties produced in the ancient tea garden of Hongye Town, among which Tianxiangxue and Dixindan Xindan is only produced in Hongye Town, while Changsiyuan and Jiuxiangbie are more common black teas."

Uncharacteristically, Zhang Yuliang only mentioned the names of several kinds of tea, instead of introducing everything to Cheng Dan like before, and looked at him with a smile after speaking, as if he was waiting for him to understand something by himself.

"Tian Xiangxue, Long Si Yuan, Earth Heart Pill, Jiu Farewell..." Cheng Dan recited the names of the four teas one by one, and suddenly the blessing came to his heart, and he blurted out: "Eternal and long?"

Before he finished speaking, his face flushed red behind his ears.

"Yes, forever." Zhang Yuliang put his arms around Cheng Dan's shoulders, pinched his red ears deliberately, and said with a smile: "The tea tree spirit is still very good at being a demon, and when we leave here, I will give him another gift in return." .”

Cheng Dan was shy, when he heard the word "tea tree essence", he froze for a moment: "Huh?"

"That's right, the grandpa that the little girl mentioned is the tea tree essence that grew in the center of the ancient tea garden." Zhang Yuliang embraced him and walked slowly down the mountain.

Cheng Dan blinked: "The little girl is also..."

"She is not a demon, she should be the mountain spirit of this mountain, but she is still inexperienced and her spiritual wisdom is just opened, so she can only transform into the appearance of a child. In every beautiful place in the world, spirits are born. In the future, we will visit more In some places, you will understand..."

The figures of the two gradually drifted away on the mountain road, and the sound of their conversation gradually dissipated in the wind.

Hongye Town, Fish House.

Every meal time, there is always a constant stream of people coming and going in the fish house.The customers who enter the store include local townspeople, as well as gourmets who come from other places to taste delicious food. Just queuing up from the first step to the last step of the stairs, the business is good.

But no matter how many customers there were, the boss reserved a seat for Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang.Not only because they made an appointment in advance, but also because the two fish brought by Zhang Yuliang satisfied the boss's desire to show off their skills, so they were treated preferentially.

The people who were queuing up were dissatisfied when they saw this, but they were worried about offending the boss, and seeing that Zhang Yuliang was too extravagant to be provoked, they didn't dare to say anything.

The boss reserved for them the location with the best view in the whole store. Looking out from the window, you can see beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

And as soon as they sat down, Xiaoer brought up the cooked dishes, which were steaming and fragrant. Not to mention them, even the people queuing outside couldn't help swallowing, feeling more and more hungry.

Two big fish, one made steamed sea bass and chopped pepper fish head, the other made squirrel mandarin fish and fresh fish soup, with a plate of green vegetables and two bowls of rice. The dishes are not many, but the portions are full.

Cheng Dan doesn't like anything spicy, so the first chopsticks naturally pick up the fish head with chopped pepper.

The fresh and tender fish meat was wrapped in bright red soup and millet pepper, with a spicy and rich aroma and a smooth taste. He only took a bite, and his face showed a happy expression after being satisfied with the foodie, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

"Delicious!" He threw out a loud compliment.

"Then eat more."

Zhang Yuliang was not too keen on his appetite, so he was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he picked up a few pieces of fish meat and removed the bones from the plate, then put them in his bowl, and also served him a bowl of fish soup .

It was the first time for him to do this kind of thing, but his movements were so proficient that even he himself felt a little strange.

"Don't patronize me, you can eat too." Cheng Dan knew that his taste was bland, so he rinsed the chopsticks in his own soup first, and then gave him sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish.

Zhang Yuliang smiled, and while eating the fish he caught, he said: "There is a lantern festival in Hongye Town at night. After dinner, let's find an inn to rest and watch the lanterns together at night, shall we?"

"Okay." Cheng Dan buried his head in the delicious food and replied without raising his head.

Zhang Yuliang smiled slightly, resting her chin and staring at the way he was eating, with a gentle look on his face.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, silently melting the frost on the branches.

……

After nightfall, Hongye Town is like a beauty with makeup, shedding the simple and elegant face in the morning, and putting on a charming and charming dress.

The high gates, low eaves, and treetops above the walls are full of lanterns, colorful and in different shapes. A little bit of candlelight gathers into a bright sea of ​​light, which is suspected to be the Milky Way falling into the world.

Tonight is Hongye Town's annual winter lantern festival, which is similar to Chang'an's Shangyuan Festival, and it is quite lively.

Cheng Dan and Zhang Yuliang put on green shirts of the same style and color, each with a lantern, and walked in the sea of ​​lights, talking and laughing, just like the pedestrians on the street.

"The lanterns in Hongye Town are more beautiful than those in Chang'an." Cheng Dan said with a smile when he mentioned the lanterns he bought for five Wen at the street corner.The clear blue light reflects the butterflies flying on the paper vividly, almost turning into lanterns, hovering between the sky and the earth.

Zhang Yuliang looked at his extremely gentle eyebrows illuminated by the lights, and smiled slightly: "Well, it's very beautiful."

Cheng Dan didn't notice his gaze, and walked towards the roadside stall with a lantern.

"Is there anything you want?" Zhang Yuliang asked while holding his hand to prevent him from getting lost.

"I want to buy some souvenirs for Mr. Yu and the others." Cheng Tan said without looking back, and suddenly stopped in front of a booth, carefully looked at the sachets hanging on the wooden rack, and picked out the one he was most satisfied with , "You can also help me to see."

"Souvenirs?" Zhang Yuliang glanced at the products on the booth, shook his head and said, "There is nothing worth buying."

Cheng Dan raised his eyebrows, first pulled him to his side, then looked around, confirmed that the stall owner and other people hadn't heard this sentence, and then said: "Choosing souvenirs is the same as choosing gifts, the most important thing is the characteristics and Mind, as for the value of the item itself, it is secondary."

"That's it..." Zhang Yuliang seemed to understand, "Then can I give you a souvenir?"

Cheng Dan smiled and nodded: "Of course, what do you want to give me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuliang stretched his hand across the two rows of ornaments on the table, and picked up an ebony hairpin from it.The whole body is pitch black, but the head of the hairpin is dotted with two red plums with cinnabar, which is exquisite but not kitsch.

This wooden hairpin is one of the few accessories for men to tie their hair. Zhang Yuliang gestured at Cheng Dan's hair and asked, "How about this one?"

"Okay, I'll take it." Cheng Dan took the wooden hairpin with a smile and turned it around a few times before putting it into his sleeve.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuliang didn't bother to ask the price, and threw a piece of broken gold to the stall owner, making the stall owner so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

The two walked forward side by side for a while, and while walking, Zhang Yuliang suddenly sensed something was wrong, grabbed Cheng Dan's wrist, pulled him closer to his side, and looked down at him.

But he saw Cheng Dan's eyes full of mortal lights filled with a smile at some point.

Suddenly relieved, Zhang Yuliang spread out his palms confidently and asked, "Where is my return gift?"

Cheng Dan patted his palm angrily and amusedly: "Why are you so stingy, Mr. Priest? You have to return a gift even if you give a hairpin."

"It's impolite to come and not to go." Zhang Yuliang said nonsense in a serious manner, "If you are reluctant to spend money, you can pay me for yourself. I can't ask for it."

"A single wooden hairpin wants to buy my whole body. The priest is really a business genius." Cheng Dan sighed exaggeratedly, and slowly took out a sachet from his sleeve, and tied it with a light blue ribbon into a small Concentric knot, almost submerged in the surrounding light, "I am ashamed in my pocket, I can only afford this kind of worthless gadget, if you don't mind the priest, please accept it."

Zhang Yuliang's eyebrows stretched, and she took the sachet with a happy smile and hung it on her waist. She still did not forget to speak righteously: "The gift is more important than its own value. I am very satisfied with this return gift."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment, and added: "You are so shy, but I have tens of thousands of wealth. If you need it, I can give it all to you."

"No, no, no, with the company of the priest, I don't worry that I will be short of money." Cheng Dan shook Zhang Yuliang's hand and walked forward slowly.

"You've been in the world for all these years, but you still can't pass the love talk." Zhang Yuliang said unhurriedly, "At this time, you should say that you are my priceless treasure."

"What should I say?" Cheng Dan deliberately pretended not to hear clearly, and tilted his head towards him.

Zhang Yuliang repeated: "You are my priceless treasure."

"Well, I heard it. Thank you, Lord Priest, for your love."

"..."

Zhang Yuliang lightly pinched Cheng Dan's ear.
