Chapter 573 Huangshan in the rain, heart belongs to the same heart lock

When I woke up the next morning, it was not as bright as I imagined. On the contrary, it was a little dark, but the itinerary had been booked long ago, and we only had one road in Huashan, so we walked.

So, the long team started from the hot springs and passed Ciguang Pavilion. It started to rain lightly just after the Mid-mountain Temple. It was not a halfway point and we could not give up halfway. We continued to move forward. However, climbing on a rainy day would take twice as much effort than sunny days. Slowly, everyone staggered. The originally tight team finally got a few miles away. Xiaoping, Xiao Qian and the others, and the girls in the sample room, dared not walk fast, mainly because they were afraid that they would be weak and not have any accidents.

Miaomiao had a lot of things in her backpack, and her pace was getting slower and slower. I couldn't help it. She forced most of the things in her bag to my bag, so she could barely keep up with the team.

But when she passed by a rocky beach, she slipped and almost fell down. Fortunately, I grabbed her. Since then, she didn't dare to let go of my hand. Along the way, I dragged her to follow the people and road signs in front of me, and went to Tiandu Peak and Yuping Tower. According to the company's notice, I would stay at Yuping Tower overnight tonight.

The drizzle in autumn is drizzling. Although it is not heavy, it has not stopped. Each of us spent 10 yuan to buy a raincoat and a mountaineering crane, otherwise it would be really difficult to climb. Especially when the sky was over, it was foggy and I didn't dare to look at both sides. Miaomiao trembled and said nothing. In the end, I tried to persuade her and then walked in front. I followed her tightly, raised my head and could only see her feet.

After a long sky, when we were almost at Tiandu Peak, we passed a long guardrail. It was already 12 o'clock at this time, and it was still a distance from the place to eat. However, I turned my head and looked back. There were still many people, so we were not very anxious. I didn't believe it. Could it be that no one could come here and eat there? If this is the case, it would be too lack of team spirit. I don't think anyone dared to take the blame for the world. Even if they were hungry, they had to endure it.

Seeing victory was ahead, Miaomiao could not walk anymore. She was panting, leaning on a mountaineering crutch in one hand and holding her waist with the other, standing there motionless.

There was no choice but to pull her to a relatively flat stone next to her and sit and rest. Then I saw locks interlocking everywhere on the guardrail chains. Not only were there two locks connected to each other, but there were also "family portrait locks" with different sizes and connected to each other and "long-living locks" for adults to tie children.

The concentric lock in Huangshan is very famous and is said to be the most effective. Otherwise, how could there be so many locks hanging along the way? And there is a story: a long time ago, a kind girl fell in love with a loyal young man, but the father of a businessman didn't want his daughter to live a poor life, so he promised her to a young man from the official family. When the wedding date came, the young man bravely snatched the bride and fled to Tiandu Peak in Huangshan. When there was a blockage in front and a pursuer, they flew down from here with their hands.

Before they flew away, they specially tied a pair of concentric locks on Tiandu Peak, tied the key with a red ribbon, and threw it into the cliff with force, symbolizing that their love will always be together, and their hearts will become one, and they will never be opened. "To be with you, loyal to you, infatuated, and never change your heart."

Therefore, many couples have a great wish to visit Huangshan, which is to see the "Concentric Lock" on Tiandu Peak, and then lock in love for a lifetime, throw the two keys that can open the Concentric Lock into the abyss, and no one can regret it. What determination and promise should be? In the modern era of love like fast food, what courage is needed? I have always wondered what kind of people are, how did they climb up the top of the mountain through endless hardships and lock each other's hearts, testify with the green mountains and the blue sky?

Although I didn't believe in these things very much, I was still a little moved by this story. Suddenly, Miaomiao threw the backpack to me and ran to the small pavilion not far away. After a while, he came out. He held a pair of concentric locks in his hand and walked to me and asked me to go over with her. I looked closely and saw that the lock was actually engraved with my and her names.

This really scared me. This misunderstanding was so big. Actually, earlier, I could see that Miaomiao had a good impression of me, but I didn't take it seriously because I had a good relationship with those girls. However, Miaomiao seemed to be a little different to me. I just thought it was a little girl who fell in love with her and didn't care. Moreover, although I had a girlfriend, I didn't disclose it in the company, Lao Zang, Dick and others knew about it.

But now Miaomiao suddenly made such a move. Does she know that I have a girlfriend or don’t know? If she doesn’t know, I’ll tell the truth and explain it again. At most, she will be a little surprised or sad. But if she knows, it will be very troublesome. This is called knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain and going to the tiger mountain.

I was about to speak, but she couldn't let me speak. She pulled me to the guardrail, locked the lock with a "click", then looked at me, and threw down the key.

Then she opened her arms and shouted "Huangshan, I'm here" to the valley, and then ran along the plank road, leaving me standing in a daze in the rain, either leaving or standing. It was not until she called me that I came back and followed silently.

At 1:30, after more than 5 hours of long journey, we finally arrived at Tiandu Peak. There were empty tables in the restaurant. We found a table and sat down quickly. However, Miaomiao and I were not the last batch. There were still people behind us. It was not until 2:00 that all the staff arrived.

All morning, coupled with the continuous rain, everyone consumed a lot of energy. Almost everyone was hungry and they were so hungry that they were almost unable to bear it. They finally started to eat amid a cheer.

At the beginning, when setting up the dishes, some people habitually prepared to rinse the dishes with hot water. However, as soon as they reached out, the waiter over there said, "We know that you are all from Guangdong and have the habit of rinsing dishes and chopsticks." However, the water in Tiandu Peak is very precious and the dishes are washed very clean, so don't wash them anymore."

Ah? What is this? You should know that when eating in Guangdong, you can avoid chicken, but you must burn the bowl. This is like the Christian prayer before the meal. The Mayans' sacrifices before the farming, as long as they eat in Guangdong, they must go through this sacred baptism. They believe that only baptized tableware is qualified to be filled with food. This is the basic rule in local restaurants and the underlying structure for the normal operation of the world. But it is no exaggeration to say that nothing can stop Guangdong people from burning the bowl before the meal, because they cannot cook the meal without burning it. This has formed a certain conditioned reflex. Whether it is a roadside food stall or a five-star hotel, people will not help but start hot as long as they sit down, and sometimes they will not even let go of disposable chopsticks.

What to eat is random, and hot bowls are eternal. I remember that colleagues from Guangdong in the company once said that unscalded bowls and chopsticks cannot be used for meals. This has nothing to do with the luxury of the restaurant. It is an instinct that is integrated into daily life and is almost muscle memory. As a native of Guangzhou, I honestly want to eat, even if I drink tea and eat on white swans, I will rinse tableware. Some people once suspected that the purpose of their meal was to burn bowls, as if that was the true meaning of the dining table. Watching the water flowing across the bowls and chopsticks, I felt that my mind would be purified after bathing the tableware. For real fundamentalists, if they suddenly remembered that they forgot to burn bowls halfway through the meal, they would have to make up for it on the spot.

Many people have shared their experiences in traveling in Guangdong. Some said that they saw tools for hot bowls at roadside stalls for the first time. Some said that they went to a KTV to drink. Before the wine was served, the waiter brought a hot bowl.

Also, there is a water cup or basin on each table in the restaurant, which is specially used to wash dishes and chopsticks to pour water, and tow the torn tableware wrapping paper must also be thrown in.

Also, people who used to work in sushi restaurants can often see customers who are hot bowls, hahaha.

When doing catering here, the first priority is to prepare water-collecting things on the table, otherwise no matter how delicious it is, it will not be able to enter the local people's vision.

In fact, Guangdong people are not just as simple as boiling. A local friend said that you must be more mentally correct when doing things. It contains more specific procedures. It is actually a technical job. "This is called a long bowl. Let the water flow into the cup with the chopsticks, stir it quickly ten times like beating an egg. It is best to turn five times forward and five times reversely, and then pour the water into the bowl. Then put the cup in the water and rotate it about ten times to take it out. Then burn the spoon repeatedly, and finally wash the bowl before pouring the water into the public water cup. You can only be considered complete. Don't burn the plate, because the plate is filled with garbage."

Mastering the order, precise operation, and completing it in one go is like a sense of ritual hidden before a meal. In addition to ensuring that you are not burned, you must also ensure the effectiveness of work results. Those masters with profound skills can make every place where they touch their mouths flow, and no drop will leak on the table after doing the complete set of movements.

As the saying goes, food is in Guangdong, and they maintain the ultimate exploration of delicious food, and at the same time understand the sense of ritual required by life, thus giving this action more diverse meanings. In traditional Cantonese culture, water has the meaning of wealth, so when a Guangdong friend takes the initiative to help you boil the bowl, he has already revealed his simple considerate and caring for you. Some experts even found from a metaphysical perspective that implicitly contains yin and yang and five elements, which is a manifestation of unifying actions and thinking. They complete the unity of man and nature every time they boil.

In fact, it is the highest respect for tableware. People can interpret a set of understanding from all angles, and once they go deep into the context here, they will find its hidden practicality. A detailed process can help you get boredom when waiting for the meal, take care of warm meals, have dinner with family and friends, and hot bowls with each other is a reflection of your feelings, and you also get a set of warm tableware. They said that you can feel the importance of eating here, just like telling the bowls and chopsticks that I am going to prepare for dinner, are you ready?

But people just know that this is a group from Guangdong, so they declared in advance, what else can you do? Forget it, don’t wash it, but if you don’t wash it, you will always feel a little uncomfortable. But today it’s different. My stomach has long been “gurgling” and I won’t let it be. Just wait, serve the food quickly, we can start eating.
