Chengdu Shui Yin Shan Yue Hotel

In a deep mountain in New Taipei City, Taiwan Province Province, there is a strange restaurant.

This restaurant is far from downtown. In order to find the quietest place, the owner has moved three times in a row, and finally set the place between the mountains and rivers. All the guests who have been here say that it is really difficult to find this winding mountain road without a guide.

The host claimed that he could make tea, but he knew nothing about cooking. There is no menu in the shop. No matter what season, guests should eat. It's useless not to advance.

Remote geographical location, abnormal business philosophy, the owner said to do this restaurant, just to give himself a chance to breathe, don't think about how to make money, please don't flock.

If you are curious and think that everything is just a gimmick of the merchants, you are all wet, because only 30 people are received here a month, so if you want to come, please book a queue at least one month in advance, and even Ang Lee can't help waiting.

This restaurant is a "mountain house". Some people say that "it is a waste of time to come to a mountain house without food in Taiwan Province Province".

The owner of the grain-raising mountain house is Lin Binghui. In the eyes of many friends, he is a gentle "tea man".

Dressed in cotton and linen, a small pot of Zhu Ni, a pot of mountain spring water and several ceramic cups, Lin Binghui made tea and sat for one day.

He made tea, and there was no unnecessary action in his hand. The tea in the teapot is not expensive, but the people who drink the tea there are amazing.

Lin Binghui can make tea and taste tea. He is very friendly. Unlike many so-called "masters", he always wants to instill a lot of ideas into you. If you use a metaphor, he is like water, but he has power. I remember the meeting at 13. Mr. Binghui said that he could have tea without eating next time.

Ordinary people only know Lin Binghui, but they don't know that Lin Binghui used to be a designer who ran a small manufacturing factory and was under great pressure.

It was not until he went to a friend's house for tea that he suddenly realized. He was still alive when he was under great pressure every day, and he was still alive when he slowly stopped looking at everything. Why not let yourself relax and give yourself a breathing space?

So, 43-year-old Lin Binghui resolutely gave up everything and set up his own home between mountains and rivers.

With his design talent, he built a house between mountains and rivers. Everything is very simple, the layout is very atmospheric, and the Zen is deep.

After the house was built, he didn't want to make a restaurant, but he still took some designs to make a living. It was not until his friends ate the food he prepared and praised his superb cooking that he realized that it was better to build a restaurant between mountains and rivers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his restaurant opened, it attracted countless people with the quiet scenery of deep mountains and forests. Many people came here and heard that he loves tea, so they invited him to have tea with them. Slowly, the restaurant became famous and more and more people came, but Lin Binghui was afraid.

He thinks he can only make tea, but not cook. How can he "fool" everyone into eating? Moreover, the more lively he is, the more afraid he is. Living in seclusion in the mountains, not hearing the noise, my heart is tested. He had no choice but to move.

Afraid of being discovered, he moved three times in a row and finally built a "food-raising mountain residence" in a remote mountain. One room is used as a restaurant, which only receives 30 people in January, and the other room is used as a teahouse, which is only for tea lovers and is not open to the public.

Eating and raising a mountain house is different from the previous hotel. It's quieter and more remote here. Open the door and you will find green trees and green hills. Open the window, you can hear birds singing and the sound of running water.

Everything in the room is arranged according to the Zen in Lin Binghui's heart. Simple small low table, plain tatami and paper lanterns, with warm yellow lights, are in harmony with nature and echo the landscape. Everything is carefully designed.

For catering, Lin Binghui deviated from the routine. Since you can't cook, let's "do it with your heart". But in order to satisfy this "heart", he traveled all over the country and learned to cook with many masters. Cooking, such as making tea, should be extreme and natural.

Finally, he realized that the most delicious food is just eating it from time to time, and eating fresh, simple and pure is the greatest respect for food.

So he invited the four seasons to the kitchen.

In spring, there will be fresh bamboo shoots just broken from the bamboo forest in the morning; In summer, there are bitter melons with dew in the melon shed.

In autumn, lotus roots dug from the depths of the soil are indispensable; In winter, there are tender radishes pulled down from the mountains, and there are no precious ingredients. Everything respects nature.

Without a menu, it doesn't mean that the dishes are not careful. At different times, guests eat different dishes, but each dish is carefully cooked and unparalleled.

The most unforgettable thing is a "lotus soup". The ingredients in the soup may be different, but there will always be a dried lotus flower. Lotus absorbs the soup and blooms slowly, which is a must for food and mountain houses.

After dinner, guests can visit the mountain house, see the mountains and water, and appreciate the beauty of nature.

You can also follow Lin Binghui to make tea and taste tea, and slowly feel the charm of tea.

It's just that the time for guests to come is short after all, and it's not as comfortable as Lin Binghui making tea and tasting tea alone in the mountains.

Of course, some people will ask, if such people live in this mountain forest, will they feel lonely and cold?

Whenever he meets this kind of problem, Lin Binghui always smiles. How can I be lonely? There are beautiful scenery, tea and this season of mountains and plains. I am grateful that life is too late. How can I be lonely? What's more, I have tea friends who often come to see me, learn tea art and deeply feel life, which is enough.

In fact, everyone is the same. As long as you can live according to your original heart, it is the great wisdom and satisfaction of life. I'm afraid of you. I can't get what I want. In this tumbling world, I struggle, struggle.

Perhaps for Lin Binghui, mountains, water, tea and lotus flowers are enough.

A peaceful mind, lotus flowers everywhere, and a peaceful mind, even if an inch of heaven and earth, can have three thousand clouds and flowing water.
