Dependent Origination and Destiny - The History of the Present

On Saturday morning, Shi Jin started working at the teahouse early.Because it was not yet 9:[-] in the morning, there were not too many customers in the teahouse, so after ordering and delivering tea to the customers, the waiters were temporarily idle.

Shi Jin returned the tray to the tray shelf at the door of the tea room.He saw Gao Miaomiao standing inside, with three pots of freshly brewed tea and a few clean small porcelain cups in front of him.

Gao Miaomiao turned her head, saw Shi Jin standing at the door, and said, "Shi Jin, you came just in time, can you come in and do me a favor?"

Shi Jin walked in, and he said, "Okay, what's the matter?"

Gao Miaomiao pointed to the teapot and teacup in front of her with a smile and said, "Try the tea for me."

Shi Jin said, "How do I try this? I don't know much about tea."

"You just need to know how to drink it. Just tell me which pot of tea tastes better after drinking it." Gao Miaomiao said, "Originally, this job was done by my sister, who knows a lot about tea, but that girl If I can't run home, I have nothing to do with her."

Shi Jin thought she was talking about Bai Ruo, so he said, "Today is Bai Ruo's day off. Girls always like to go shopping on their days off."

Gao Miaomiao smiled slightly, and she said: "Ruo Ruo will not go shopping in such a leisurely way. The places she goes are not very creative - basically 20% of the possibilities are in Xinhua Bookstore, and 80% of the possibilities are It's in the library."

While talking, she had already picked up a teapot and poured out two cups of tea, and then handed one of the cups to Shi Jin.Shi Jin took the cup and took a sip gently. The hot tea slid over his tongue with a strange fragrance. Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and he said, "Isn't this green tea?"

Gao Miaomiao said, "It's scented tea brewed with chamomile and linden flowers." She picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea, then rinsed her mouth with water, picked up another teapot and poured out two cups of tea again.

After trying three cups of tea like this, Gao Miaomiao asked Shi Jin with a smile, "How is it, how do you feel?"

Shi Jin thought for a while, then pointed to the second teacup: "This cup, it seems to taste better."

Gao Miaomiao smiled, and she said: "This pot of scented tea is brewed with mineral water, the taste is sweet and refreshing, and besides the fragrance of flowers, it also has the sweetness of mineral water; the pot on the left is brewed with pure water, so the tea fragrance is definitely there , but the taste is still a bit lacking; the pot on the right is soaked with tap water. Because of the purification process of the water plant, the taste of the tap water is not good, but there is no place to find mineral water around the city, so I can only use it for the time being Purified water instead..." she said, "it would be nice to find a place to supply mineral water."

Shi Jin said: "Yes, the city is prosperous, but the mountains and rivers are really not as good as the countryside."

Gao Miaomiao said: "Well, so I can only look for it slowly. If there is a chance in the future, I will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. I will open a small teahouse by myself. I will carry water to make tea every day, and watch the clouds in the sky. .” She looked at Shi Jin with a smile and said, “This is my dream.”

"It's good. It's always good to have a dream!" Shi Jin said with a smile. He glanced outside and saw a customer entering the teahouse, so he said, "There is a customer coming, I should go to work."

In the afternoon, Bai Ruo came back with a stack of thick books with her.She went to a corner of the teahouse and sat down, picked up a book with relish and read it.She watched very seriously, taking some notes from time to time, so serious that she didn't even notice Shi Jin approaching.

Shi Jin put a cup of tea in front of her, his eyes swept over the pages of the book in her hand, and then he saw some very professional terms.So he couldn't help asking, "What book are you reading?"

"Thank you!" Bai Ruo looked up, then smiled and turned over the cover of the book to show him, "Aerodynamics of Tactical Missiles."

Shi Jin saw an old label attached to the spine of the book—this indicated that the book came from a library.He asked, "Do you also learn this in class?"

Bai Ruo said, "I don't want to learn it. But when I was in the library in the morning, I saw it there, so I borrowed it to take a look."

Shi Jin looked at her dense but very clear and neat notes, and asked, "Are you still interested in this?"

Bai Ruo said: "If I say that I am actually interested in bombs, brother today, would you believe me?"

Shi Jin said with a smile: "It's a matter of interest. It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. The key is that you have to determine whether you are really interested."

Bai Ruo said: "Of course I'm sure. The elective courses I took in school were the principles of blasting and bomb dismantling techniques. But because they are elective courses, the lectures are more general, not as good as those for majors. So I had to do it myself. Looking for books to read, but these books are basically impossible to buy outside, so I can only borrow them from the library." After she finished speaking, she paused, then smiled and said, "It's strange, isn't it?"

Shi Jin scratched his head and said, "No, it's just that I think girls don't like it much."

Bai Ruo smiled and said, "I hope I can become an excellent policeman."

At this time, another waitress from the teahouse came over, and she asked, "Sister Bai Ruo, why do you want to be a policeman so much?"

Bai Ruo said: "'Some people love money, some people love fame, and some people love sex. Of course I like these too, but what tempts me the most is the truth—only a few people know the truth that keeps the whole world in the dark .'——This sentence is written by a novelist I like on the title page of one of his novels. I like this sentence very much, because I am also attracted by the truth hidden behind the darkness. So I If you want to be an excellent criminal police officer, you must peel back the details of the case like Sherlock Holmes, clear the fog, and finally let the truth that only a few people know come to light."

The little girl couldn't fully understand what Bai Ruo said, so she picked up the stack of books that Bai Ruo had on hand and flipped through them one by one.

""Physical Electronics", "Electrical Circuit Principles", "Basics of Electronic Technology", "Physical Optics"..." The surprise on her face increased every time she read a book, and she said, "Sister Bai Ruo, why are you still reading it?" These kinds of books? These are like heavenly books, and I get dizzy just looking at them."

Bai Ruo looked at her expression of hatred, so he jokingly said, "What's the matter, is it because you were always punished by the physics teacher to stand when you were in school?"

"That's not it, it's more ruthless than that-our teacher doesn't punish us, he likes to beat us with a pointer, this stick will not hurt at the time, wait for a few minutes and then the place where we were beaten will appear Red marks, and then it can hurt for a long time.” The little girl curled her lips and said, “So I swear never to touch physics again, and when I think of physics, I feel that my hand hurts again.” She shook her head and put down the pain. He piled up his books and turned to walk away.

Looking at her back, Bai Ruo couldn't help but smile."The teacher she was talking about reminded me of my grandpa," she said.

Shi Jin asked strangely: "Your grandfather?"

"Well, my grandpa." Bai Ruo nodded and said, "He took my sister and I to the countryside to learn martial arts when he was three years old. My grandpa is a very serious person, and he has special requirements for me and my sister. Strict, but when my sister and I were young, we were very naughty. We always made big mistakes and kept making small mistakes, so we were always beaten by grandpa. When my grandpa hits someone, it doesn’t hurt at the time, but it hurts hot after a while. Kind of."

She said with a smile, as if being beaten was also the happiest childhood memory.Shi Jin looked at her, and he recalled that he was often beaten when he was a child. Although the reason for the beating was different from Bai Ruo's, he smiled knowingly when he thought of it now.

Then he said to Bai Ruo: "You read, I'm going to work."

"Waiter!" When Shi Jin walked to the service desk, a customer waved to him, "Bring me another cup of tea."

Shi Jin picked up a tea list and walked over, then asked with a smile, "What kind of tea do you want?"

The guest slowly flipped through the tea list page by page, and after thinking about it for a while, she pointed to a picture on a certain page of the tea list: "Just change to this one."

Shi Jin glanced at the picture, which showed a cup of rose tea.After he recorded the name of the tea, he looked at the guest at the same table as this guest: "Do you need to change the tea?"

"Then give me another Qingxiang Oolong." The customer reported the name of the tea he wanted to change without even looking at the tea list. It seemed that he was a regular customer of the teahouse.

Shi Jin nodded and remembered the tea and seat number to be changed, then politely said please wait a moment, then turned and walked to the tea room.

"Why do girls like flowers so much? Even tea is willing to drink scented tea." Standing in the tea room, Shi Jin asked.Making tea with flowers made him feel a little weird.

He cleverly took out six or seven dried rose buds from the jar of rose tea and put them into a transparent flower tea pot, then added a pinch of green tea and a few pitted red dates to it, and then Rush into boiling water.She smiled and said: "Don't underestimate scented tea. In fact, scented tea has many unique effects that green tea can't match. For example, this rose tea, it is not only good-looking, it can promote blood circulation. , beautify the skin, promote blood circulation and beautify the skin, warm the stomach and nourish the liver, prevent constipation, reduce internal heat, regulate qi and blood, etc., especially suitable for women. In addition, it is also effective for wound healing. Long-term drinking is also beneficial to the throat and nasal cavity. If you can Adhere to a pot of tea every day, and it will be able to maintain both internal and external care—these are all discussed in "Compendium of Materia Medica." She pointed to the pot of rose tea that had just been brewed, and the purple buds were moistened by hot water. Stretching out little by little, the originally transparent boiled water was gradually dyed a lavender color.

Shi Jin looked at the pot of scented tea in surprise, and said, "I never thought there would be so much knowledge in such a small scented tea. It's amazing!"

Gao Miaomiao said: "Chinese tea culture is very extensive and profound - and it does not only include green tea. If you are interested, I will show you some materials on this topic some other day." Put the oolong and rose tea on the tray and handed it to Shi Jin: "The tea is ready, send it over."

Shi Jin took the tray and sent out the tea.

Two gangster-looking young men hooked each other up and swayed into Yuan Qi Yuan Mie, ignoring the waiter's inquiry, Gu Zi found an empty seat and sat down.

"What do you two want to drink?" A waiter walked over and handed over two tea orders.

But those two didn't look at it at all. One of them, who had highlighted his hair yellow, said, "Do you have Erguotou here? Here are two bottles."

The waiter said with some embarrassment: "No, we are a teahouse here."

The two gangsters didn't care about this, and continued to say: "Do you have Baiganer... No matter how bad you are, you should have beer, right? What kind of broken shop do you guys dare to open for business if you don't have anything? Stop talking nonsense and go get it." Come drink!"

The waiter realized that the two visitors were not friendly, and they didn't come to drink tea at all, so he quickly backed away and ran to the tea room.

Seeing the back of the waiter leaving in a panic, the two gangsters laughed for a while, and then the yellow-haired gangster found a new target: "Hey, look, that girl over there is pretty good."

The other immediately looked in the direction he indicated: "Which one?"

Huang Mao stretched out his hand and pointed out a specific location: "It's the one sitting in the corner reading and writing. It's not bad looking."

That person finally found her target: "Hey, she's pretty, go talk to her?"

The two bastards looked at each other tacitly, stood up and walked towards the corner.

"Isn't it lonely to sit alone, old girl? Brothers, come and sit with you!" The two gangsters sat on the left and right sides of Bai Ruo talking to themselves.

Bai Ruoquan pretended not to hear it, but was still copying the notes seriously.She didn't pay attention to this kind of bastard at all.

Seeing that Bai Ruo ignored them, Huang Mao reached out and snatched the book from Bai Ruo's hand.He glanced at the title of the book, and then exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Hey, "Aerodynamics of Tactical Missiles", the old girl is still studying this? How boring, why don't you chat with your brother?"

Bai Ruo glanced at the two of them, then said coldly: "Put the book down, get out!"

Huang Mao laughed loudly, and said: "My old girl has a personality, I like it, brother!" He leaned on Bai Ruo carelessly as he spoke.

A hand stretched out, blocking Huangmao's further actions in time.Shi Jin said, "Two guests, please don't disturb others."

The two gangsters looked at Shi Jin's overalls, and ignored him at all: "Boy, it's none of your business! It's your business to get in touch with the old girl, but we are guests here. You hit us!" They expected that Shi Jin would not dare to fight them.

Bai Ruo winked at Shi Jin, and she said, "Brother, go and do your work today, I'll take care of it here."

Shi Jin saw her nod her head slightly - that meant to reassure him that she would be tactful.So he nodded too, then turned and left.

"This old girl knows the way, why don't you hang out with my brother from now on." Seeing Shi Jin leave, Huang Mao immediately put an arm on Bai Ruo's shoulder with ill intentions.But before he touched Bai Ruo, that arm was grabbed and pressed to the table.

"Oh..." Huang Mao cried out in pain, the arm being held down was sore and numb, which made him unable to exert all his strength.When the other saw it, he immediately wanted to save him, but he was pressed on the table in the same way.

The two gangsters were pushed on the table by Bai Ruo, one left and one right, but they were still trying to be brave: "Stinky girl, which way are you, dare to provoke your grandpa?"

"Why don't I remember that I have two such young grandfathers?" Bai Ruo glanced at the two of them, and then said, "I will be a policeman in the future. Which road do you think I am on?"

"Police...police..." Now, the two gangsters finally realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, so they hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister Police, please forgive me, we brothers don't know Taishan with our eyes, you just don't know what to do." Please spare us!"

Bai Ruo let go of her hand, and she said, "Get out, don't let me see you two come out to cause trouble again, or it won't be so cheap next time."

The two gangsters hurriedly ran out of Yuanqi Yuanmie.
