Chapter 73 fish and tea

I think there are two things that need water the most, one is fish and the other is tea.Fish have gills and breathe water.The relationship between fish and water is the most classic friendship.In fact, the same is true for tea.The charm of tea also needs to be reflected through water.When the hot boiling water soaked the tea leaves, it came to life like a fish, regaining consciousness and twisting its waist.Or to put it more literally: wake up like Sleeping Beauty, go with the flow, and sing and dance.Yes, only water can wake it up.It was born to wait for that ecstatic kiss.For this reason, he did not hesitate to endure long-term torment and hunger and thirst.We drink tea to quench our thirst, but we rarely think about it: tea leaves are thirstier than us, and we look forward to the combination with water—even if it is destined to be a one-off.

The tea leaves are enough to swim back on the water, and they sink to the bottom of the cup like a submarine.At this point it appears to be heavier than water.It will be very difficult for water to hug it again.Oh, the glorious corpses, blurred and distinct, lying on beds of water.I think of Haizi's poem: "I hold my wife in my arms like water holds a fish. The fish is a dumb woman who sleeps under the river, often in dreams, and dies alone. The water will close, love my wife, after a light rain Missing. No one understands that she is a wife above the water and a fish under the water, or that she is a fish above the water and a wife under the water..." As for the tea, it will also die in marriage with water, but it reveals the happiness that any drowning person cannot have expression.When we salvage the tea that has lost its taste and discard it in the trash can, its dream will be stranded.What a short but brilliant dream it was: tea leaves can imitate the opening of flowers in water, and experience the joy of growth...

Modern people prefer transparent glass cups when drinking tea, so that they can also obtain visual enjoyment: watching the ups and downs and movement of tea leaves in water.The glass teacup is a miniature aquarium in the palm of my hand, and there are small green fish swimming in front of my eyes.But one thing is for sure: this carnival of fish is completely oblivious to the presence of the audience and will not be startled.The waters they own exude the taste of love, youth and dreams. Fish and tea had nothing to do with each other.It was my imagination that brought them infinitely closer.Fish is the tea in rivers, lakes, rivers and seas (fishing is similar to tea ceremony, and it can also cultivate temperament).As for the tea, it is the fish in the cup, the "tropical fish" in the boiling water.Both the fish and the tea leaves have flexible waists like acrobats, capable of making any difficult moves.The only difference is: fish are for food in the water, while tea is for thorough dedication.

When there is fish activity in the pond, it is no longer stagnant water. Similarly, when tea leaves are brewed in the cup, the water will come alive.The water will accompany the tea leaves, take a deep breath... The water is really soft.But fish and tea are both bones of water.
