Chapter 32 drinking tea

Abundance A certain company was getting cheap again, and went to buy two taels of good tea at 2 cents per tael.I brewed a pot at the beginning, fearing that it would be cold quickly, so I wrapped it in a cotton jacket, but when I drank it seriously, the taste was similar to the rough tea I had been drinking, and the color was also very cloudy. I knew that it was my mistake. To drink good tea, you need to use a tureen, so I used a tureen.Sure enough, after brewing, the color is clear and the taste is sweet, slightly fragrant but slightly bitter. It is indeed a good tea.But this is when I have to sit quietly and do nothing. When I was in the middle of writing "Eat Education", I took a drink, and the good taste slipped away unconsciously, like drinking rough tea.

Having good tea to drink and being able to drink good tea is a kind of "relaxing blessing".However, in order to enjoy this "clean blessing", first of all, you must have time, and secondly, you must have a special feeling from practice.Based on this very trivial experience, I think that if a worker who uses his muscles and his throat is about to split, then even if he is given Longjing bud tea and Zhulan scented tablets, he may not feel as good as hot water. What a big difference.The so-called "autumn thinking" is actually like this. Poets and poets will feel that "the sadness of autumn is also the spirit" [2]. As an old farmer, they only know that at this time of year, rice must be harvested.

So some people think that this kind of delicate and sensitive feeling certainly does not belong to rough people, but it is the trademark of upper class people.However, I am afraid that I am also the harbinger of the bankruptcy of this brand.We have pain, both to make us suffer and to enable us to defend ourselves.If not, even if someone stabs a sharp knife in the back, he will be unconscious until he falls to the ground without knowing why.But if the pain sensation becomes delicate and acute, not only a small thorn on the clothes, but also the seams, knots, and hairs on the clothes will be felt. Like a thorn in my body, I can't live anymore.But those who pretend to be sharp are naturally not in this case.

Compared with numbness, the fineness and sharpness of feeling is certainly an improvement, but it is limited to the extent that it helps the evolution of life.If it's irrelevant, if it's even a hindrance, it's a sickness in evolution that will soon end.Let's try to compare the elegant people who enjoy the happiness and love with the humble people with poor clothes and poor food, and then we can understand who can survive.After drinking tea and looking at autumn, I thought: I don't know good tea, and I don't have autumn thoughts, so that's all.
