Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 295 293 "It's Better to Have Tea"

Go to the tea room for tea early in the morning?

Yu Dongqing also has the habit of drinking tea in the morning, but usually at home, it always feels weird to go to the tea room.

"It's noon, come over after lunch, I want to take a walk now, the air is pretty good here." Yu Dongqing said.

"Okay, at one o'clock, I will pick you up by car."

Yu Dongqing hung up the WeChat phone and came to the tea house. There were very few customers, so Yang Yixin accompanied Yu Dongqing and walked around in the nearby mountain depression.

The weather has cleared up today, and the sun is shining brightly in the morning. There are tea gardens in the surrounding mountains, and there are already tea girls working hard.

Although the tea-picking women in the online videos and photos are all young and beautiful, Yu Dongqing saw that the people working in the countryside are actually middle-aged and elderly women in their 50s and [-]s.

Hehe, this is the reality, there are filters on the Internet.

Seeing Yu Dongqing looking around, Yang Yixin explained with a smile: "Mr. Yu, picking tea is not only a technical job, but also a manual job."

"The work of a skilled tea picker usually starts at 6 o'clock in the morning, carrying the tea picking basket to the tea field, and has to be busy until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. According to the ratio of 5 catties of fresh leaves to 2 catty of dry tea, the It produces less than [-] catties of finished tea. If you are a novice, you will pick even less, so many young people have abandoned this craft and have gone out to find work."

This is also true.
Yu Dongqing nodded.

Not to mention picking tea, even in my hometown Huayin, all the people who grow crops in the fields are as old as my third uncle, and there are very few people in their 40s.

"Including tea houses, there are many tea houses in this area, but many of them have closed down, and some have been relocated to urban areas, where there is a large floating population after all." Yang Yixin continued.

"So your daughter opened a teahouse in the city center?" Yu Dongqing took over the topic.

"Yes, my daughter graduated from the China Academy of Art and majored in design art. It has been very difficult for art students to find employment in the past two years. I don't want a girl to go out to make a living, so I asked her to come back and run a tea house with me. I didn't expect her to I still don’t like it.” Yang Yixin smiled wryly.

"It's actually quite good. The city center is not too far away, and it's very convenient to communicate with each other."

"Yeah. So I didn't object. If she wanted to go to another city, I wouldn't agree to it!"

The two chatted without a word.

It's all about a father's concern for his daughter.

After lunch, Yang Mei drove a pink BYD Dolphin new energy car to the tea house and invited Yu Dongqing to her tea room.

"Mr. Yu, you go, I won't go, lest I quarrel with her again." Yang Yixin laughed.

Yangmei's newly opened tea room is not located by the beautiful West Lake, nor is it located in some culturally rich neighborhoods. It is actually hidden on the second floor of a building in the downtown business district.

Yu Dongqing followed Yangmei to the second floor, and found that the inside was different from the traditional Chinese teahouse, but full of modern and simple style.

The space inside is not large, only five semi-covered tearooms. The tables and chairs inside are no longer traditional wooden coffee tables and rattan chairs, but replaced by small, round coffee tables with a modern style.

Floral curtains, soft single sofas, thick carpets, and the murals on the walls are actually Van Gogh's sunflowers!

The whole tea room is full of rural style, and American country folk songs are playing on the stereo, which looks very warm.

There were already people drinking tea and chatting in low voices, they all pretended to be urban white-collar workers.

"There are many large financial companies nearby, and many employees are willing to come to relax at noon or after get off work. They used to drink coffee, but now they can come to me for tea."

Yang Mei explained to Yu Dongqing while walking: "Of course, not only traditional green tea, but also black tea, Pu'er, and afternoon tea. It's just that it has just opened and not many people come here."

"The positioning is very accurate and the environment is good. I think the business will be good in the future." Yu Dongqing said.

Yang Mei smiled.

"Uncle, you are much more enlightened than my father."

Ah?
"Your father's tea house is also good, and his Longjing tea is the best I've ever had." Yu Dongqing said.

"Yeah. Our family has been growing tea, picking tea and making tea since my grandfather. The tea gardens you see on the surrounding mountains are all contracted by my family, so the quality is absolutely assured!"

Ah?
Sure enough.

At this moment, the song on the stereo changed, and it turned out to be the song "Chengdu" sung by Yu Dongqing!
Seeing Yu Dongqing's slightly surprised eyes, Yang Mei smiled and said, "I really like your second album "Love a Song and Fall in Love with a City", especially this "Chengdu" I bought a black What about glue?"

After speaking, Yang Mei entered her work room, and there was a vinyl record player on the table playing her album.

"Uncle Yu, please sign for me." Yang Mei said as she took out the beautiful packaging of the record from the drawer.

Yu Dongqing was also polite, picked up the pen on the table and "swipe" to sign her name on the cover, and said humorously: "Yangmei, let me sign it, please don't ask me to write about it again." The song of Hangzhou."

Unexpectedly, Yang Mei smiled slyly: "Uncle Yu, can you not write a song about Hangzhou? Can you write a song about tea?"

Ah?
make this request.

Yu Dongqing recalled what Zhang Yang once said. He is such a warm friend. Apart from being a friend who is hospitable, he really wants you to write your song about tea, and then a copywriting. The tea plantation got what it deserved, and his tea plantation also became popular.

Unexpectedly, his daughter made this request.

In fact, Yu Dongqing has been thinking about this question.

Originally, I wanted to write a song about tea called "Grandpa's Tea", which was originally written by Zhou Dong according to time and space. The song was very well written, but it was in the form of rap, which seemed not in harmony with the atmosphere in front of me.

Got it!
"It's Better to Have Tea" by Xu Song!
The name fits the mood quite well, but that is the title of the album, and there is no such song in it.

But the title song "Between Mountains and Rivers" in the album is very Zen, which fits the taste of tea.

Why don't you change it to "Let's Eat Tea".

Thinking of this, Yu Dongqing said: "Yangmei, there is a song, I don't know if it's suitable or not, but I don't have a guitar."

"Uncle Yu, wait a moment."

Yang Mei immediately took out her mobile phone and made a call. In less than 10 minutes, a handsome young man came upstairs panting with a guitar on his back.

"Uncle Yu, this is my boyfriend Wang Li." Yang Mei introduced generously: "He is my college classmate who studied painting."

"Hello, brother-in-law, Uncle Yu, I'm very glad to meet you. I'm your loyal fan." Wang Li was very excited when he saw Yu Dongqing.

"I bought this guitar when I was in school. The sound quality is average. You can see if it works." After speaking, Wang Li handed the guitar to Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing took it over and saw that it was an old brand of red cotton, but it was an entry-level one, and the estimated price would not exceed 2000 yuan.

"Okay, yes." Yu Dongqing didn't dislike anything.

The three of them entered the studio, and Yu Dongqing sat on the stool and took out the guitar and played it lightly.

Last night, the same door gathered to push the cup and change it

Today's tea and herbal wine are cold and rhetoric becomes a joke

Who will read the perfect inscription after half a lifetime of exhaustion?

Living in seclusion between mountains and rivers, oaths and floating names
