普洱茶娘 | The Pu'erh Merchant of Yunnan

第一章 | Chapter One: 古道茶香 (Fragrance on the Ancient Road)

云南西双版纳的深山里，有一座古老的茶庄。

In the deep mountains of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, there stood an ancient tea estate.

茶庄的主人叫杨玉兰，五十岁，身材丰腴，皮肤被高原的阳光晒成健康的蜜色。

The estate's owner was named Yang Yulan, fifty years old, with a full figure and skin bronzed to a healthy honey color by the highland sun.

"普洱茶和女人一样，" 她常说，"越陈越香。"

"Pu'erh tea is like a woman," she often said. "The older, the more fragrant."

那年春天，一位日本茶道研究者来到这里寻找顶级古树茶。

That spring, a Japanese tea ceremony researcher came here seeking top-grade ancient tree tea.

"最好的茶，" 玉兰带他穿过茶园，"长在最险峻的地方。"

"The best tea," Yulan led him through the tea gardens, "grows in the most treacherous places."

她攀上陡峭的山坡，丰满的臀部在少数民族服饰下摇曳生姿。

She climbed the steep hillside, her full hips swaying gracefully beneath her ethnic minority attire.

"跟上，" 她回头看他，眼中带着挑衅，"还是你不行？"

"Keep up," she looked back at him, challenge in her eyes, "or can't you handle it?"

夜晚，她在私人茶室为他泡茶。

At night, she brewed tea for him in her private tea room.

"这是我收藏了三十年的老茶，" 她说，"只给有缘人品尝。"

"This is tea I've stored for thirty years," she said. "I only share it with those destined to taste it."

她将茶汤倒入他的杯中，然后坐到他身边，丰满的大腿贴着他的。

She poured the tea liquor into his cup, then sat beside him, her full thigh pressing against his.

"茶要趁热喝，" 她低语，"人也要趁热爱。"

"Tea should be drunk while hot," she whispered. "Love should also be seized while warm."

他放下茶杯，双手环上她丰腴的腰身。那一夜，他们在茶香中缠绵。

He set down his cup and wrapped his arms around her full waist. That night, they entwined in the fragrance of tea.

"你会带走什么？" 清晨，她问。

"What will you take with you?" she asked in the morning.

"这些茶饼，" 他说，"和你的味道。"

"These tea cakes," he said, "and your taste."

她笑着，将一块刻着"缘"字的茶饼放入他手中："每次喝这茶，就想起我。"

She smiled, placing a tea cake carved with the character "缘" (fate) in his hand: "Every time you drink this tea, think of me."

"明年春茶季，我会回来。"

"I'll return next spring tea season."

"我等你。" 她站在茶山的晨雾中，"我的茶室，永远为你敞开。"

"I'll wait for you." She stood in the morning mist of the tea mountains. "My tea room will always be open for you."

在云南的茶山深处，有些故事如普洱茶般醇厚悠长...

Deep in the tea mountains of Yunnan, some stories are as rich and lingering as Pu'erh tea...
