Sleeping until ten in the morning, slowly arriving at the office, first sitting by the tea table, drinking a few infusions of fine Pu'er prepared by the tea artist, grabbing the tea snacks on the table and eating them happily, flipping through the phone and newspapers, waiting for lunch.

For lunch, ordering a boxed meal, or making an appointment with a few friends to go out for a meal, and if you like, you can also have some wine. After lunch, continue sitting by the tea table, making a few phone calls to invite people to come for tea, and often going out to friends' places to drink tea. When people arrive, a brief exchange of pleasantries, or if everyone knows each other, instruct the tea artist to brew a ten-year-old raw Pu'er. Several people chat idly, some playing with their phones, some reading newspapers. After tasting the tea, each expresses their views on the tea, praising each other about how good this tea is and where its merits lie. If someone asks about the price, the conversation can range from Iraq to domestic constitutional politics; the topic is not fixed, until the tea becomes weak. During the tea drinking, some leave and some come, but generally everyone sits down and continues drinking tea. If not fully satisfied, a new infusion such as old Banzhang ancient tree tea is started, and the above tea drinking continues.

Before 5 o'clock, guests usually all leave, some taking some tea with them. If guests haven't left, they discuss where to go for dinner and what to do after dinner. When guests leave, several phone calls are made to friends to see if there are any evening plans; if not, go home.

Do you like this kind of life? Is it especially comfortable? Is this the life you dream of?

Then open a tea shop. The bosses in our Kangle Tea City live such a life.

I am also similar, in my thirties, doing work that an eighty-year-old could do.

If you love him, persuade him to come into the tea business.
