Chapter 3451: Pack up What You Can't Finish
Have morning tea?
All the girls expressed their support. m eat breakfast at home every day. Although it is clean, hygienic, and extremely delicious (they are all top chefs), once the environment becomes the same, no matter how beautiful the place is, it will become boring. This is like the Maldives, the shining pearl in the Indian Ocean, the most beautiful place in the world, a resort in my mind, a place as beautiful as paradise.
Countless people go to the Maldives for vacation every year to enjoy the sun, beach, ocean, and dance with fish. But for the staff living there, the scenery here is so ordinary, and the life is even more ordinary. People are boring.
The same is true for Huang Meixi and others. Although this place is nice, eating at home every day always makes them feel a little bit tired. Therefore, I very much agree with this suggestion of having morning tea.
"Where to go?" Lin Feng didn't object. Life, if it's all the same, is like boiled water. Life needs spices, and people also need a jumping heart.
For morning tea, although there are many places to drink morning tea in Shanghai, they are not very authentic. Anyway, I and others suddenly became interested in having morning tea, so naturally I wanted to have something more authentic. Guangzhou or Hong Kong will do. Anyway, it’s not too far to fly from here to Hong Kong, and the flight time is only 2 hours. However, Lin Feng has a special plane, so there is no need to wait in line. Plus, the Boeing plane is a little faster than a small plane, and it can arrive in about 100 minutes. It's only 7 o'clock in the morning, and when we arrive in Hong Kong, it's around 9:30 in the morning, so the time is just right.
"Well, just Guangzhou." Li Zhiyou thought for a while and chose Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is also good. It is known as the most delicious city in China. It is also the third largest city in China, a famous commercial capital in history, and one of the starting points of the Maritime Silk Road. Shanghai is a magical city. Has a magical power. As for Guangzhou, people can’t help but eat it when they come here.
Morning tea is naturally one of the daily leisure activities for Guangzhou people. Speaking of morning tea, it first originated during the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years. At that time, there was a restaurant called "Yiliguan" in Guangzhou. There was a wooden sign with the word "tea" hanging at the door. It served tea and cakes. The facilities were simple, with only a few wooden tables and stools to welcome guests and chat. For passers-by to stop and talk. Later, it expanded and became a teahouse. It gradually became a habit, and there was a saying of ‘morning tea’.
Nowadays, the breakfast menu has become increasingly rich. Custard buns. Rice rolls, Tingzi porridge, pastry egg tarts, etc. These meals sound mouth-watering, but they taste even more so.
After unifying thoughts. Lin Feng and his party took a helicopter and flew directly to the airport. Then fly directly to Guangzhou.
Lin Feng didn't come to Guangzhou very often, very rarely, and he only went to Dongguan once. Lin Feng went to inspect the factory of his "Phantom Technology". During the rest of the time, Lin Feng did not have time to hang out in Guangzhou. After all, it is prosperous here.
But it is not the economic center of China today.
"Which one?" Lin Feng asked.
Regarding morning tea, Lin Feng had only had it with Li Zekai and others a few times in Hong Kong, so he was not familiar with it.
"Taotaoju!" Li Zhiyou chuckled, "This is a time-honored brand. It is said to have been established during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the oldest tea restaurants."
Lin Feng nodded, and the group quickly arrived at the door of Taotaoju.
This Tao Tao lives at the gate. Hanging is an elegant long couplet written by the contemporary calligrapher Qin Jisheng from the Republic of China: Tao Qian is good at drinking, Yi Ya is good at cooking, and they happen to be a gentleman; Tao Kan cherishes flying, Xia Yu cherishes inches, and the most regrettable thing is time in the cup.
Lin Feng doesn't know calligraphy, but he still has some appreciation for whether the calligraphy is good or not. This word is indeed well written. Not to mention that he is better than any famous artist, at least Lin Feng thinks that he will not be able to write such good calligraphy even if he practices for a hundred years.
"Hey! The calligraphy on this plaque is also good! It just seems to be missing a signature!" Lin Feng pointed at the plaque with the three characters "Taotaoju" on it and said strangely.
These couplets are all signed, but why are the three characters "Taotaoju" so big not signed?
Li Zhiyou and others all shook their heads. Although they have come here alone to have morning tea, and Lin Feng is no longer in China in their spare time, and they themselves sometimes fly here to have morning tea, but they have never been very interested in the culture here. Therefore, they were unable to answer the question raised by Lin Feng.
But at this moment, a refreshing voice sighed, "This is the inscription written by Mr. Kang Youwei in the past. However, after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, the inscription was taken off to avoid being implicated. Now it is hung again It's like advertising this 'Taotaoju'!" a man sighed.
Kang Youwei's name? Lin Feng shrugged.
"Why, this friend doesn't seem to be too interested in Kang Youwei?" The man, who looked to be of mixed race, looked surprised.
In China, most people are very sorry for the Reform Movement of 1898 that may have changed China's destiny. Many people believe that if the Reform Movement of 1898 had continued, China's history might have changed, and there would be no such thing as the past decades. War. China may not necessarily be what it is now.
"Haha, it's nothing. There is something worthy of admiration about Kang Youwei, but in the final analysis, he was born in a feudal bureaucratic family, and his thinking still has limitations after all. In some places, he is worthy of admiration, but in some places , I don’t like it very much,” Lin Feng said with some reservations. In fact, from Lin Feng's point of view, Kang Youwei is really not that good.
What makes him admirable is that he was one of the first people in China to explore constitutionalism. He also proposed constitutional monarchy, local autonomy, and a balance of power system. These all sound like good reform ideas, but Kang Youwei was still restricted by the feudal bureaucratic family, and the theories he proposed were all based on the premise of the emperor. In other words, no matter what constitutional monarchy or local autonomy, the emperor still has privileges. In short, Kang Youwei hopes to introduce advanced Western systems, but he also wants to retain the emperor's privileges.
How can such contradictory ideas succeed! Of course, this is also related to his luxurious life. After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Tan Sitong was arrested and killed, but Kang Youwei went abroad and began to travel around the world. He traveled around the world, not living a life of hunger and fullness, but like traveling abroad now, traveling around the world. Under the slogan of lobbying other countries and calling for the support of countries around the world for China's reform, he lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, escaping the fact that China was ravaged by artillery fire and Western powers.
Finally, after the Revolution of 1911, Kang Youwei returned to China. Relying on the fame of the Reform Movement of 1898, he enjoyed the respect of warlords and revolutionaries at that time and lived a luxurious life. At that time, Kang Youwei spent 20,000 yuan a year on various expenses. At that time, 20,000 yuan was equivalent to more than one million yuan today. This life can be regarded as rich.
At that time, due to years of war in China, most places were full of corpses and people starved to death. Lin Feng was ashamed of this mentality of enjoying life in peace and contentment. Of course, what is even more shameful is that when this guy was down and out in his early years, he had no money but relied on his reputation to go to **. As a result, he owed prostitution money and was unable to repay it. He was chased by people and finally had to hide in a sea ship to Guangdong, and was chased by people. In the end, there was a poem mocking him: There is no platform to avoid debts but there is a boat, and it is not worth a penny.
This kind of character is not worthy of Lin Feng's respect. Of course, putting aside his character, his handwriting is indeed beautiful.
"Haha, this gentleman's insight is admirable. But in Taotaoju, the waiters and the boss are all proud that this plaque was written by Kang Youwei. If you say bad things about Kang Youwei after entering, you will be kicked out." The mixed-race man laughed and walked in.
"Brother Lin, who is he? Do you know him?" Li Zhiyou asked curiously.
Lin Feng shook his head. This is probably a passerby who happened to meet. However, this mixed-race man has mostly foreign blood, and he never thought that he knew so much about Chinese history. However, there are many foreigners in Guangzhou, and there are many foreigners who know a lot about Chinese history. It's not too much to meet one of them.
"Okay, let's go and have morning tea. But remember, everyone should be a little careful and don't be recognized. Otherwise, you can't have morning tea today!" Lin Feng warned.
"Brother Lin, I think you should be more careful. We have been here several times, and no one has ever recognized us. I think you should be more careful not to be recognized. Otherwise, we will have no place to have morning tea." Li Zhiyou and others joked.
Lin Feng was helpless. He was indeed too famous in China. Once he was recognized, it would be really troublesome. Although Lin Feng had many bodyguards around him, he couldn't always drive people away like this. That would be bad for his reputation. Besides, no matter whether he could stop people or not, he would definitely not be able to eat this meal.
Lin Feng put on his glasses straight. The ordinary black-framed glasses, if he put them on, people who were not particularly familiar with him would not recognize him. Of course, several young and beautiful girls walking beside Lin Feng together were indeed a bit of an eyesore, and it was easy for people to associate them. So, when they went in, several girls went in together, and Lin Feng went in alone, and finally found a private room and sat down.
"Hey, Brother Lin, it's troublesome to go out with you. It's very convenient every time we come here, but today we feel like thieves!" Li Zhiyou said jokingly.
"Yes, it's very convenient every time I go out with my mother, and I don't know anyone. But every time I go out with my father, I always have to hide here and there, which is really inconvenient!" Lin Youxi also complained on the side.
"Well, including my travel, sometimes it's very convenient. But when I go out with Brother Lin, I have to hide everywhere, which is very troublesome." Liu Yifei also attacked Lin Feng on the side.
Lin Feng could only raise his hands in surrender.
"Okay, I'll treat you to breakfast today!" Lin Feng raised the white flag.
"Huh, that's better! Youxi, order whatever you want to eat. It's not easy to catch a chance to make a fortune, don't miss it!" The girls laughed, "Pack up if you can't finish it!"
