Xiao Wang has been making tea for five years. During these five years, he found a wife, had a chubby son, bought a car and a house, which can be considered a small achievement.

On Wednesday, it rained heavily in Kunming. Xiao Wang usually doesn't come to the shop until 11 o'clock. Xiao Wang's wife, Xiao Li, arrived at the tea shop after 9 o'clock and started cleaning. After 10 o'clock, she sat down to boil water and brew tea. In such weather, there are usually no customers, so Xiao Li invited the owners of the neighboring shops to come and drink tea together. Someone suggested that it was a bit cold, so why not have hot pot? Everyone agreed. Xiao Li brought out a copper pot, lit charcoal, and the hot pot base was ready-made. Opening the fridge, there were some vegetables, but not enough for seven or eight people. Jia brought a plate of meat from his shop, Yi brought a plate of sausage, Bing brought a bag of steamed buns, and soon the table was full of food. When Xiao Wang arrived, it was almost 12 o'clock, and they started eating, with the room full of noise.

After eating and cleaning up, it was about 1 o'clock. Someone suggested drinking good tea. Ding brought a 10-year-old Lao Banzhang, Jia brought some Dan Cong given by a customer. Xiao Li brewed the tea. They first drank the Dan Cong, but after a few infusions, they all asked to switch to the Lao Banzhang. After more than twenty infusions, they were still savoring the Lao Banzhang, and their praise for this tea never stopped. In the middle, Jia went back to rummage through his collection and brought out a 2002 Bai Cai. After brewing, the praise continued.

At 5 o'clock, Xiao Li went to pick up the child from kindergarten. Xiao Wang brewed tea. Some left, some came, and there were still seven or eight people. They kept drinking until almost 7 o'clock, then everyone dispersed. Xiao Wang cleaned up and returned to his home in the opposite community. On the table were one meat dish and two vegetable dishes. Xiao Li was making the last soup. A few minutes later, the family of three started eating.

At 8 o'clock, Xiao Li was bathing the child. Xiao Wang sat by the computer. He usually doesn't sleep before 2 o'clock, browsing Weibo, shopping on Taobao, checking car websites, and watching movies.

At 2:30 in the morning, Xiao Wang started to sleep.

Pleasant, right? If you love him, let him make tea!
