Get up early and have morning tea / Huang Aishi

Should we make an appointment for morning tea?

Hmm...let me think about it. Okay, okay, morning tea is morning tea, then the situation between us is either very familiar or very unfamiliar.

For people like me who really hate getting up early and have to get up early, when it comes to drinking morning tea, if I want to agree, it can only be in two situations: gritting my teeth and risking my life for a very close friend; Especially unfamiliar friends grit their teeth and fight for it.

The meaning of gritting your teeth and fighting for it also means two situations: sleeping soundly, the alarm clock is ringing (if you can hear it), using up your life's perseverance to get up, and rushing out; or simply staying up all night, just waiting When I was in a trance and half conscious, it was almost time, and I went out with a pale face.

No matter what the situation is when you go out, just get out of the door.

It’s nice to arrive at the teahouse. The lights are brightly lit and there are a lot of people. Outside, it may not be dawn yet, or it may be just getting ready.

When drinking tea in the morning, I usually order a pot of Pu'er. If some people are not used to the taste, they can order Pu'er with chrysanthemum. Anyway, my morning tea must be called Pu'er. It relieves tiredness, refreshes the mind, and refreshes the stomach without hurting the stomach. Although I drink Dancong or Tieguanyin during all waking hours, in the morning... it doesn't work, it doesn't work, it's too "little", and I have an empty stomach. It's easy to get drunk on tea, which is more uncomfortable than being drunk or drunk on cigarettes, and it's very stomach-breaking.

Come on, let’s drink tea for a while, chat for a while, or just be in a daze for a while.

Are we familiar? Then let’s have a good time together.

Aren’t we familiar yet? Then let’s talk about something.

We Guangzhou people can spend the whole day in teahouses. Just like the joke about traveling, 5:30 to 11 a.m. is the time for morning tea and breakfast, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lunch at 2:30, afternoon tea from 2:30 to 6, dinner from 6 to 9, night tea from 9 to 12, supper from 12 to 3 am...then, one, two, three Four, do it again, you don’t even have time to sleep.

Of course, no one actually forces you to eat like this from morning to night. These opening hours are just plain convenient. By the way, let me tell you why we made an appointment here - if I have morning tea, I usually show up at Taotaoju, Panxi and White Swan. In the past, teahouses and restaurants in Guangzhou were clearly distinguished. Although now you can go to a teahouse for lunch and a restaurant for night tea. But in the past, teahouses in Guangzhou were just teahouses. They only operated morning and afternoon tea, dim sum and dragon and phoenix gift cakes, but did not operate meals or organize banquets. A restaurant is just a restaurant. It only operates meals, casual drinks, and arranges banquets. It does not provide tea or snacks. To put it more simply, if you wanted to distinguish a teahouse or a restaurant at a glance in Guangzhou 80 years ago, you could look at the cabinets in their stores - the one with the cake and bait cabinet was a teahouse for drinking tea; The roasting cabinet is a restaurant for eating. Taotaoju was the first to open a restaurant and teahouse together. It is said that it took a lot of effort at that time. Speaking of teahouses in old Guangzhou, you can go to Taotaoju and Lianxianglou. When it comes to restaurants in old Guangzhou, you can go to Guangzhou Restaurant, Datong Restaurant, and Dasanyuan Restaurant. They are all famous time-honored brands.

As for Panxi, it was the first garden restaurant in the country after liberation. The old banyan tree grows in the center of the restaurant’s courtyard, and the partitions there are original and authentic Manchurian windows; as for the White Swan, Well, it's the first five-star hotel in Guangzhou. It has unparalleled river views. The most important thing is that it's relatively quiet and comfortable. If you don't want to be exposed to the hustle and bustle, go there and see the sand and the sun shining on the Pearl River.

Drink tea for up to 20 minutes. No matter you are awake or not asleep, whether you are hungry or not, you will start to have an appetite. Want to order something to eat?

If I am hungry, I will order glutinous rice chicken and sausage. The glutinous rice chicken is actually not a chicken, and the intestines have nothing to do with the offal of any animal.

If you are not too hungry, you can order steamed pork ribs, shrimp dumplings, siomai, taro wedges, saltwater wedges and chicken feet. If you like sweet food, you can order lotus seed paste buns, sesame paste buns, custard buns, Mala cake, water chestnut cake and even ginger vinegar.

Here, siomai is not a cake, but a rather small snack made of meat. You can drink ginger vinegar, but the main content is to eat the soft pig's trotters and hard eggs inside - in Guangdong, this is a sitting position for pregnant women. It is a must-have food during confinement, but because so many people like to eat it, tea markets of a relatively large scale prepare it for men, women, old and young to eat together.

Are you still not hungry? You can order a bowl of Laohuo porridge. In a city famous for its Laohuo Jingtang, Laohuo Jingtang is actually equally good. When drinking morning tea, you always need to know a little bit about it - Guangzhou people don’t like to drink Laohuo Jingpor in places where the Laohuo Jingtang is not good. The principle of morning tea is the same as the must-have soup in famous restaurants. It is a basic skill.

I don’t know how high or low other people’s expectations for a morning tea are, but basically we all felt that we had eaten a bit too much when we came out, although I kept reminding myself when eating, This is just a breakfast, but lunch is usually not considered anymore. If it is the first time for friends to have morning tea, they will all be worried and say, what should I do? I also have an appointment with someone for lunch, what should I do?

Every year, about two or three times, I get up early, grab morning tea, and after eating and drinking, I feel a little silly standing on the street - it's rare for me to be full in the morning and still feel full at the same time. My mind was blank as I looked at the noisy Guangzhou morning.
