新店 重新開張

咳咳  
wait a moment 要再度開始活躍了........ :D

這鐘當時的秒針是逆時針的在轉著 :)

突然發現，wait a moment 已經2歲多了
原來無論腳步多慢，甚至停下來休息，時間還是逕自地一直前進著


前些日子有個機會可以重溫以前非常熟悉的工作生活
只是在下已經不是那時的在下，環境也不像那時的環境，完全是景物和人事都全非 
原來時間也像海浪一樣，會讓人無自覺地離岸邊越來越遠

無論理由是什麼，I am back。
眼尖的人或許可以發現在下偷偷改了一個小地方
以前是 it is all about tea and life
現在是 it is all about life and tea


想寫下這一段
 

無肉令人瘦 :D

與善人交，如入芝蘭之室，久而不聞其香；與惡人交，如入鮑魚之肆，久而不聞其臭。
肝膽相照，斯為心腹之友；
意氣不孚，謂之口頭之交。

告訴自己，時時保持警惕。
擔心的不是善人或惡人，而是，久了，無論香臭都察覺不到。

很高興回來了。

再一起來說茶喝茶吧........

Detail is the point

Some famous person said so before. Kind like, 'Success is in detail.'

I have to agree with this mostly because I think that detail is an important point.
Here are some dishes of delicious food...... :L

Baked chicken chest with orange juice

You can see that there are slices of radishes and oranges. The middle one which clipped between the both is checken chest. If you try to look as closed and detailed as you can, there would be many many spices and condiments overspread in the baking tray. And they are the details who make the chest fragrant and charming. Much more than you can see in a quick glance, much more than you can smell from this picture, and much more than you can image before you eat it. :)

In another way, this tasty foods in an iron pot are also hide something inside. You can see shrimps, green onions, and rice noodles. Looking closer, there are some slices of mushrooms mixed with noodles. After you have a taste, it will surprising you because of its' rich taste of shrimps flavor, the heavy sauce grabbed on the noodles, and the strong curry taste. The point of the rich flavor is the cook make content of shrimps' head into the sauce, but you can not tell just by seeing it. :D It's so delicious.

Lovely shrimps with curry rice noodles

The cook is a female, and she cares about these details much more than others. And I am the eaterm, so that's why ,in my opinion , detail is so important and significant.  Haha. :))

茶葉的價值

我幾乎每天早上都要泡來喝的阿薩姆紅茶

曾經遇見一位老闆，他對我說：「你定的價格太便宜，客人反而不會買，所以價格要訂高一點。」
我想這果然是老闆級的人物的思考。











所以一開始我把價格定的很高，高過我認為這款茶葉該有的價格.........
果然有人會購買，而且一直有客人購買，茶葉銷售額就這樣慢慢地增加著，看著金錢越來越多，我的笑容好像沒有以同樣速度越來越多........



於是有一天，我找了個理由把茶葉的定價降低了，符合了我認為這款茶葉該有的價格........

適合下午喝或晚上喝的重焙火烏龍茶

 
還好有人還是會購買，而且一直都有人買，茶葉銷售額就這樣慢慢地增加，看著金錢累積地越來越多，只是我的腦袋裏面一片空白


我想我是不是笨蛋？
這樣我平白無故少賺了很多錢也........
我心中一直在反覆掙扎著







後來有一天，我又找了個理由把茶葉的定價降的更低了，低到自己的利潤變的少少的........
我滿心歡喜地想，這樣做，喜歡喝這款茶的人一定會很開心........

不一並要花很多錢，我想提供的簡單的幸福

這個做法剛剛開始........
我心底很擔心.........
不知道還會不會有人繼續買我的茶葉？他們相不相信我願意賺少一點，只因為他們喜歡我的茶葉？

很挑戰而且有意思的是........前幾天，我又遇到一位老闆級的人物........
他也說了類似的話：「沒辦法，你價格不定高一點，客人反而不相信..........................」

我真心覺得，這果然確實是老闆級的人物的思考。

我內心掙扎到扭曲變形，我想，我果然不是老闆級的人物，頓時覺得自己是個二百五，竟然降低售價來讓喜歡喝茶的人可以少花點錢，已經賺不到什麼錢了，而且說不定還因為價錢太便宜而沒有人會買..........





不過神奇的是，這樣做以後我的內心有點漣漪，我的臉上有點笑容........ :)
真希望大家繼續買我的茶葉.........別因為她們太便宜而不買........

頂多，我就是一個幸福的笨蛋

How to make a cup of Taiwanese tea with a Mug II

In the beginning, we said that it is easy to drink Taiwanese tea and Chinese tea by mugs. 
Just put some tea into the mug first, and the quantity of tea leaves has to cover the bottom of mug almost, and then pour hot water into it.  Done.

Is the quantity of tea leaves in the glass too much?

Is that so easy? Yes.............
But then Brian got some mails and understood that it is no so EASY exactly...............
Beacuse the shapes of every tea leaves are different, it is a big problem to some people who are like scientistsm, which means that they care about the detail very much.........

because of this kind of cup,
we could use the top to stop tea leaves to avoid swallowing them

The best way to figure out if the quantity of tea leaves is enough or too much or less is just do it once first and then see how the tea leaves expands.

While the tea leaves are expanding completely in the mug, finally the height of leaves reaches .............

1. the top of mug， it means that tea leaves is too much. It is obvious that how you could drink the mug of tea juice without swallowing some tea leaves at the same time............. :)



2. the middle of mug， it means that the quantity of tea leaves is quite enough. The tea juice (or tea soup) above the expanded tea lleaves is delicious, and the under one would be a little bitter. It is not a problem actually. Just drink the above tea juice first and add more hot water in it after the above one is drunk off. It could be repeated few times.

3. the quater of mug，it means that the quantity of tea leaves is a little bit less, but still good. Compare to the middle of mug, maybe you just could drink once or twice most by the same tea leaves, and you have to wait for more few minutes before drninking it.

4. the bottom of mug，it means that you are a stingy person....hahahahahaha
Please remind this that no matter drinking tea, wine, or drink (liquor), the worst way to taste them is to make them too thin and poor. 
Or you just go get a glass of pure water instead of. 
Treat yourself good please.

it is good to separate tea juice and tea leaves
before drinking it :)

Eventually, it is hard to make the right quantity every time, so why not just enjoy drinking tea juice with happiness everytime and knowing how to adjust the tea leaves and hot water in the mug.

Wish you have a good time with a mug and Taiwanese tea leaves hereafter.  :)

番外篇~川芎茶調散

川芎茶調散

我們家有時候用來治療感冒時的頭痛，或是女性月經來時貧血造成的頭痛，都頗有功效；
不過中醫師也提醒我們，用藥還是得依照個人不同體質來使用，並不是每個人都適用。
:)

在這裡提到川芎茶調散的原因，是因為這款中藥的名字裡有茶，而且它的吞服，不是喝溫開水，是喝茶。以茶配合吞服才有最好的效果。

川芎茶調散的成分有川芎、荊芥、薄荷、防風、羌活、甘草、白芷、細辛 等等，依照不同比例混合而成 (wait a moment不是中藥專業，還請參考http://www.tzuchi.com.tw/file/DivIntro/drug/%E8%97%A5%E8%A8%8A/%E8%97%A5%E8%A8%8A/55%E6%9C%9F%E8%97%A5%E8%A8%8A/%E4%B8%AD%E8%97%A5%E6%B2%BB%E7%99%82%E9%A0%AD%E7%97%9B%E5%B8%B8%E7%94%A8%E6%96%B9%EF%BC%9A%E5%B7%9D%E8%8A%8E%E8%8C%B6%E8%AA%BF%E6%95%A3.pdf)；如果稍微注意一下就會發現，藥的名稱中雖然有茶，可是成份中卻沒有茶葉，後來我們才知道，原來這帖藥就是需要喝茶來服用的.......

在這篇慈濟醫院的文章最後也解釋，為何川芎茶調散需要以茶服之........

「...........川芎茶調散最特別的地方，就是一定要以茶調服，是以茶水之苦寒，上清頭目，調和經脈，並可以監制各種溫燥藥，不致有耗傷津液.....」

我們吃什麼都要配茶呢！

當我們知道也有可以和茶葉做朋友的中藥，真的很開心，希望這番外篇也可以解除一些頭痛啊....... :D
