I remember when I was in elementary school, there were four classes in the school every morning. After the second class, there would be a 20-minute break. During this time, the radio would show eye exercises while the students were closing their eyes.
When doing eye exercises, the teachers would put things like scallion pancakes or cakes and bread in the small bowls we brought for snacks, as well as soy milk. What my mother prepared for me at that time was
Such an enamel cup is used to hold soy milk. Although there is the word "porcelain" in the name, it feels like metal. The cup served by the tea stall owner is the same as the one I used when I was a child, except that on the base of this cup,
There were a lot of peeling paint, and some unevenness due to collisions. Hu Zongren took a sip of tea and felt it was a little hot, so he put it aside, lit a cigarette, and started to smoke while playing with the lid of the tea cup.
The lid of this tea cup was something I used to be naughty about when I was a kid, because it had a small round ball, like a nipple, so at that time I often found two lids, stuffed them into my clothes, and then puffed out my chest and looked like I was
It feels like a pair of big breasts. It's perverted, I know, but as a child, just smiling happily is enough. But Hu Zongren, who is in his thirties, actually started to play with very lewd gestures in front of me
Lifting the lid, he deliberately made that weird moaning sound at me while playing.
I glared at him, and then said to Hu Zongren, have you been a little panicked recently? Now you are hungry, and you can play with this thing so emotionally. Hu Zongren laughed and said, you said you originally designed this
Did the guy who made this thing have similar thoughts to me? I don’t have time to pay attention to questions like Hu Zongren’s, because since I met him, I have done countless stupid things that I have never thought of in my life.
But Hu Zongren persisted and said, you said it’s okay for this woman to have this growth, why does a man still have it? I said you don’t even have nipples, are you still a human being? Hu Zongren said, I know,
I just don’t know what the purpose of having nipples on a man’s body is. You can’t touch them or breastfeed. They’re just like the cecum. They’re superfluous. Who am I to say they’re superfluous? At least when you’re naked and standing in front of me, I’m still
Can you tell which side is the front based on the nipple?
After saying that, I found it funny myself, so I laughed. Maybe the topic of our chat seemed a bit vulgar, so it aroused some disdainful looks from the old men around me. The looks seemed to say, young people nowadays are always talking
I was thinking about something. I said to Hu Zongren, let’s stop talking nonsense and think about how to get down to business. Hu Zongren nodded, and soon he waved to the tea stall owner and asked him to give him some rock candy, because he didn’t want it.
Few people here like to put rock sugar in their tea when they drink tea. When the boss came over with the rock sugar, Hu Zongren stopped him and said, boss, would you like to have a chat with you?
Maybe it’s because most of the people who come here to drink tea come in groups or to play cards and chess. Even though the tea stall owner stays here all day long, the few words people probably say the most to him are nothing more than the following:
Pour some tea, or have another bowl of something like that. Probably very few people would take the initiative to invite him to chat like us. So he looked very happy and sat down next to us. He was a man who looked about 50 years old.
A middle-aged man, thin and dark, he probably spent most of his time doing physical work when he was young. His hair has a lot of white strands and is messy, which shows that he usually doesn't pay much attention to his own image.
Man, he has to work at the tea stall from morning to afternoon, which proves that besides that, he has no time to do other jobs. He does not look like a retired person at his age, so I guess he should be an individual who has resigned.
, but the tea stall in front of him is probably his only livelihood.
Hu Zongren asked him, do you have many people coming here to drink tea every day? The boss said there are quite a few, more in the morning than in the afternoon. Many old men and women have gone back to rest and prepare dinner in the afternoon, so they are a little more leisurely in the afternoon.
If it were summer, it would be cool to drink tea here. No matter how bright the sun was, you wouldn’t sweat sitting here! The boss talked a bit too much, and after Hu Zongren asked this question, he started talking nonstop. Hu Zongren looked up
Looking at the cliff on the top, it happens to form a natural dome, blocking the sun, so it is a shady place. On the top of the cliff, parallel to the ground, are engraved with four vigorous characters, which read "Yao Gongde"
"Government". Obviously, this Mr. Yao is a person. I don't know who he is specifically, but these four words mean that he loves the people and is diligent in government affairs. That means that this Mr. Yao is a person.
The handwriting of Guan. is vigorous and powerful, and it is engraved on the top of the dome. This also means that this relatively open area was not excavated by humans later, but at least when these four words were engraved, it was already in its current shape.
.
Hu Zongren pointed to the writing on the top and asked, who is this Yao Gong? The tea stall owner looked up and said, Yao Gong is Yao Jinyuan, an official of the Qing Dynasty. These inscriptions are already very old, but this
In Futuguan Park, you can find some inscriptions related to Yao Gong in many places. When the tea stall owner said this, I immediately took over his words and said, boss, how familiar are you with this park?
Yes? Have you been setting up a tea stall here for a long time? The boss said it has been many years, almost 10 years. At that time, when Fotuguan Park was charging fees, he had already set up a tea stall here. I asked
He, are you allowed to set up a stall without a certificate? The boss said a little embarrassedly, this tea stall can be regarded as the family's livelihood. I have lived here for decades and have been coming here to play since I was a child.
, I am very familiar with this place and have feelings for it. The administrative division of this park is under the same street jurisdiction as where I live. The street knows that my family has some difficulties, so it allows me to set up a tea stall here. I receive tea every day.
There are a lot of customers, and since I am here, it can be regarded as convenient for those people who live a high or low life.
I calculated the distance. We have been walking here for about ten minutes since we entered the door. Although we don’t know how far behind we are, it is reasonable for people to walk here slowly and want to drink a cup of tea.
It is indeed not easy for the middle-aged man in front of him to support his family with such a simple tea stall. Hu Zongren asked the tea stall owner how big the park would be if he continued walking from here.
Have you finished the walk? The boss muttered and said, you should finish the walk quickly, because the area open to tourists in the park is actually only a few roads. If you walk along the road, if you are just shopping, it will probably only be one.
I finished my walk in an hour. I quickly asked the boss, do you mean there are still places in this park that are open to the public?
The tea stall owner said, of course, the places that are not open are much larger than the places that are open. When we were children, entry and exit were not allowed in those places. Now it is because these people are afraid of falling and being in danger, so they
Tourists are not allowed to go there. After saying that, the boss pointed towards the bottom of the cliff outside the railing. Look below, it is full of haystacks and bushes. There used to be a plank road there with a small river in it. When we were young,
I often go down there to look for the source of the ditch. Hu Zongren asked him, have you found it? The boss said, you can’t find it. The river flows out from the cracks in the rocks. It is said that there is an underground river below.
, when the river ditch was still there, there was a small waterfall flowing towards the opposite cliff, but the water from the waterfall could not flow into the river below, because it was quickly absorbed by the soil on the slope.
Then it is absorbed by plants.
I looked in the direction he pointed. That direction was the cliff near the Jialing River. Of course, the cliff was now reflected by the surrounding tall buildings, making it look less cliffy. But the situation he was talking about was very interesting.
If you want me to understand this phenomenon, it is probably that after the waterfall came out, it turned into an underground river of underground water, and the cycle started again and again. The boss went on to say that the place where the waterfall used to be was called Hubei Cliff, and this mountain
It looks like a lying tiger. There is still an ancient stone tablet at the entrance. I can't remember what is written on it, but it is still there.
That is what the tea stall owner said, Hubei Cliff suddenly reminded me of Hutou Rock. Hutou Rock is one of the four mythical beasts. It is precisely because of this that Situ took us to find the back cliff.
Mystery, so that place is a very crucial place for me. So I quickly asked the tea stall owner, why is this place called Hubei Cliff? Does it really look like a tiger? After saying that, I pointed in the direction of Hutou Rock.
, probably at an angle of about 15 degrees northwest of the Hubei Cliff he mentioned, and then asked him, what is the relationship between the Hubei Cliff and Hutou Rock? The boss said that these two places are together.
Ah! In the past, you could walk down the gentle slope of the cliff to Hutou Rock! Just think, if there is a tiger's back, there must be a tiger's head. Even this Fotu Pass used to be called Hulao Pass.
When the tiger comes, he must lie down here obediently and cannot escape even if he runs away!
After saying that, the tea stall owner burst out laughing and began to indulge in his own sense of humor. But Hu Zongren and I looked at each other, and I knew that we both began to think that the so-called Hubei Cliff might have been captured by us at this place.
This was the first place I found related to the four-way mythical beast. So I asked the boss if that place could still be found now? It was the Hubei Cliff.
The shop owner said that we can't get there because they have built a wall to block us, unless you climb over the wall.
