Dashun six years, the first day of August.
It has been more than a month since the last storm hit Duan Mansion.
It has been eighteen days since the last time Guanxing blocked the city gate and offered a large reward to the remaining party members in the wind and rain.
Wangjiang County, which had just regained its calmness, became lively again.
Because another big event happened in Wangjiang County.
However, this time, unlike the previous fears, this time it was a good thing.
After being closed for a few days, Duanjia Restaurant reopened.
Moreover, it’s not just Duanjia Restaurant that has reopened.
Duan's Restaurant, which had been under renovation before, also opened.
Although everyone knows that the plan of the young master of the Duan family is to buy a street in the south of the city with the purpose of building a huge and luxurious Duan family inn.
The inn has not yet been completed, but it is the earliest stage of the Duan Family Restaurant and has been completed.
Moreover, unlike what people had expected, Duan's Restaurant opened ahead of schedule without waiting for the entire inn to be completed.
On the day Duanjia Restaurant closed, a sign hung in front announcing the opening of the restaurant.
It is said that many new wines, new dishes, and many new things will be launched by then.
Looking at this restaurant alone, if compared with Wangjiang Tower, it is still slightly shorter.
Wangjiang Restaurant has four floors, but this newly renovated restaurant only has two and a half floors.
However, from the outside, the layout of the entire restaurant is much more grand and refined than Wangjiang Tower.
The eaves of the first floor of the restaurant are obviously much more protruding than other places, and then form an underhook to hook back, like a treasure cover, wrapping the entire first floor.
Above the eaves in front of the restaurant is a huge plaque.
The plaque reads "Welcome guests".
Duan's Restaurant is called "Welcoming Guests"!
The name is very popular.
However, this handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and it is quite elegant.
It makes people feel that it is not simple at first glance.
And this is not the most attractive place.
What amazes people the most is a pair of couplets affixed to the pillars on both sides under the eaves.
The first couplet on the left is very suitable for this restaurant.
"I'm busy for fame, I'm busy for profit, take a break and drink two cups of tea."
The second line on the right is even better.
"Work hard, work hard, enjoy the hard work, and then pour two pots of wine."
Different from the sign above that welcomes guests, this sign is very chic with flying dragons and phoenixes.
A literate person with good intentions immediately discovered the clues.
Isn't this handwriting the handwriting of Mr. Qin Feng, the dean of Sihai College?
Could it be that this couplet was made by Mr. Qin?
However, someone immediately came up with a different idea.
Welcoming guests to the restaurant is the property of the Duan family.
The eldest young master of the Duan family is Mr. Qin's old friend.
Therefore, it is not strange for Mr. Qin to write a couplet to welcome guests to the restaurant.
However, more people think that this couplet may not have been written by Mr. Qin.
This couplet may seem superficial and its rhetoric is very straightforward, but it contains profound meaning.
This couplet, if we only look at it superficially, is about welcoming guests, welcoming customers to come to the restaurant to drink and drink tea.
However, if you actually taste it carefully, it is not difficult to think of his deeper meaning.
Busy for fame and busy for profit actually refers to people's running around for life.
Who is an official, a businessman, or a student, who doesn't do it for this mere fame and fortune?
But, what is the reason for all this busyness?
Have you thought about it carefully?
Therefore, you must take some time off from your busy schedule.
Taking a break from your busy schedule is not because of laziness, nor is it purely for leisure, but for thinking.
Dashun, many people like to drink tea.
Naturally, there is a profound culture of tea drinking.
Who likes to drink tea?
When to drink tea?
These seem to be somewhat sophisticated.
Farmers have been busy for a day and come back from the fields. Their mouths are dry and their tongues are dry. They pick up the gourds and drink a gourd of water or tea to quench their thirst.
Don't say that most of them drink plain water. Even if they drink tea, it is just tea, just cow drink.
This is not called drinking tea.
When drinking tea, the emphasis is on the word "drink".
The word "drink" actually refers more to "tasting".
Tasting tea and drinking tea are naturally different.
Since it is a product, there are many ways in it.
Generally, people who like to drink tea and enjoy tea are those with relatively high status.
Since it is a tea tasting, it is natural to invite three or five friends to taste it together.
So, there will be a lot to discuss.
Not just tea ceremony, but also knowledge, business, or life.
Drinking tea is about artistic conception, thinking and discussion.
Therefore, the first couplet of this couplet naturally emphasizes this artistic conception.
Coming here to welcome guests and drink tea is not just about drinking tea, but also about allowing yourself to think more and communicate with others.
However, this second line is even more amazing.
What's even more amazing is that it is derived from the first couplet.
From artistic conception to reality, what matters is people's mentality.
Running for fame and fortune is naturally hard work.
Not only will our bodies be very tired, but sometimes our hearts will be even more tired.
Therefore, there will be hard work and hard work.
However, if a person has been in such a miserable state, it will definitely not be easy to make a big breakthrough.
In fact, many times, because of the depressed state of mind, it will affect the state of hard work and even affect the results of hard work.
So, at this time, a mentality is needed.
That is, joy in suffering.
Only by finding your own joy in this kind of hard work can you not be too depressed and can you maintain a good state.
So, what's the fun?
Pour two more bottles of wine.
The word "pour" is used here.
Just like the "drinking" of tea, pouring wine is also very particular.
Some people think that to drink, you have to drink as much as you can, drink a lot of wine, and eat a lot of meat.
However, one bowl after another of wine is consumed, but it may not be very clear what the wine tastes like and how it feels.
It’s just that I like the feeling of drinking one cup after another, one bowl after another.
So, that’s drinking, not pouring wine.
When pouring wine, you have to pay attention to it and taste it naturally.
Since it is wine tasting, it must be good wine.
If we talk about good wine, we have to talk about the Duan family's Shao Daozi.
The Duan family's Shaodaozi wine is stronger than Yujiu Cangyan and purer than Yujiu Cangyan.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the eldest young master of the Duan family said a few days ago that the Duan family's welcoming restaurant will sell wine after it opens.
Moreover, a variety of wines will be sold.
Not only are the flavors different, the intensity is different, and some even have different colors.
It can satisfy anyone's consumption desires and tastes.
The wine here will include the spirits that men like to drink, and some will even be stronger than burning knives.
The wine here will include fruit wine that women like to drink. It is not as bland as Sandao wine, nor as strong as Shaodaozi wine, and even has a strong fruity aroma...
The wines here include mellow wines favored by literati, as well as spirits favored by wealthy people.
There are wines here that ordinary people can afford, and there are also wines that only rich people can taste...
Just a couplet, just because of the introduction of new wine to welcome guests, has already made many people full of expectations...
