Congratulations on the opening of 2022 teahouse.

1. The teahouse in Guangzhou was developed on the basis of "Erli Pavilion". As the equipment, environment and service of the teahouse have been upgraded, the price of tea has risen to six-thirds!

2. Knock on the table with your fingers, and then refine it to single-finger knocking and double-finger knocking. Some people explain that the elders give the younger generation a single finger and the younger generation a single finger. Some people also say that tapping double fingers means married, and tapping single fingers means unmarried!

3. After the refreshments are made in the kitchen, they will be sent to the lobby with "floor glue" for the guests to choose. In the past, small bamboo cages were used to steam snacks in teahouses, with two pieces in each cage, and five or six piles of small bamboo cages were steamed in a big bamboo cage. There are men and women in the "ground aspic". Generally, a rope is used, both ends of which are tied to the bottom of a large steamer, and then hung around the neck to shuttle between the coffee table and the private room seats. Now many restaurants have "delivery rooms". I estimate that "delivery rooms" come from "floor glue"!

4. "Yili Pavilion" and "Erli Pavilion". At that time, except for Guangdong teahouse, other catering industries paid money before eating. For example, in Beijing, squeeze into a small restaurant, line up at the counter and loudly report to the waiter what you want to eat. After the ticket was opened, the waiter asked, "Is there a seat?" Finally found a seat and waited hard. The waiter came out with a dish: "Whose liver?" You can't blame him. Who told you to check out without finding a good seat? If there are too many guests, you have to get the food yourself. I didn't understand the concept of governance at that time. I just feel very comfortable drinking morning tea in Guangdong!

The teahouse is bustling with all kinds of refreshments, but what makes me most curious is the rule of "eat first, then count": when you enter the teahouse, choose your seat, and Tang Qi (that is, the waiter) will give you the tea list, send you tea, and push a car full of refreshments in front of you, so you can take it yourself. Filled with tea, I called "Tang Qi" and "counted". "Tang Qi" said in his heart, holding various plates and small drawers, and soon submitted an offer. Father told me that different prices of refreshments use different plates!

6. Qianlong immediately picked up the copper pot himself, stood up, followed a man's example and rushed to a small handless den in Zhou Riqing. Zhou Riqing was flattered and wanted to give a big gift, but she was afraid of leaking the loose-packed articles. In desperation, he bent his fingers and knocked on the table, chatting instead of kneeling. Folks have followed suit and become tea customs!

7. Tap the table with your fingers. The storage of tea leaves is also very particular, especially for green tea. The tea containers used are all tin products. Generally, the big pots with tea names displayed on the shelves of teahouses are not filled with tea. Because their storage capacity is small, if they are taken and stored frequently, they are easy to sag. These pots are just a sign!

8. "Calculate" and "Pay the bill" both mean checkout in Cantonese!

9. Teahouses are also very particular about the storage of Pu 'er tea, because the older the tea, the better. It is said that it is better to deposit this kind of tea in a bank than in a bank, because American tea can recruit? Stop? Therefore, Bridgette, Tairu, Lianxiang and other old tea houses store as much Pu 'er, which can generally last for six or seven years!

10. Tea drinking habits in modern Guangzhou are commonly known as "three teas", that is, morning tea, afternoon tea and evening tea. The time of three kinds of tea is different, and so are the consumers. The older generation of tea drinkers still have the habit of drinking morning tea. Most of them have retired and have enough time to drink morning tea, which is the main leisure way for the elderly in Guangzhou. Because of the change of working style and living habits, the younger generation mainly drinks afternoon tea and evening tea for leisure, making friends and working. In terms of etiquette, everyone who drinks tea in the teahouse knows two basic etiquette: knocking and drinking water. It can be seen that the habit and etiquette of drinking tea in Guangzhou constitute the main body of tea custom culture in Guangzhou.
