The "bitterness" of Kuding tea

Cypress leaves plus Kuding tea boiling water to wash your hair can make white hair black, can you believe it? I don't know where my wife heard it, but I was so fascinated that she gave me three orders a day to buy some Kuding tea online.

Kuding tea, this name, I am not unfamiliar.

That's more than twenty years. At that time, four or five of us, twenty-three or four-year-old boys, often got together and played poker "arch pigs" to play the long dark night time from school to before going to bed. At that time, there was no television, no mobile phones as used today, and there was no Internet (I had never heard of it). My only radio was also bought after those years, and because I was holding it in my arms, I was reluctant to put it down, fell asleep several times, fell to the ground, and finally fell into a pile of parts the last time.

One night, we played until the evening and gathered with a little brother who was renting outside the school gate. He took out a tea box and introduced it to us, saying that it was a tea given to him by one of his elders, called Kuding Tea. We drank it, and although it was "a little bitter" as he called it, we were all young and drank it for the first time, and he put fewer tea leaves, so we all got through it. While drinking tea, while "arching the pig", the time of the night has passed.

Now I heard my wife say that I used Kuding tea and cypress leaves to boil water to cure gray hair, although I didn't believe it very much, but I didn't dare to doubt it, and I didn't dare not buy it. A few days later, the tea was bought back and put on the table, and it was two or three days, but I didn't see my wife boiling water to wash her hair, and I didn't dare to ask.

When I got up today, I suddenly saw the Kuding tea box on the table, and suddenly remembered the bitter taste of Kuding tea more than twenty years ago, picked up the teacup, learned from the brother of that year, put in a small amount of Kuding tea leaves, and brewed a cup of fresh boiling water. After a few minutes, I took a sip of my lips and took a sip – so bitter! Although it was a small sip, the bitter taste still went straight to the top of the head, and it took a long time before it was barely swallowed.

Suddenly a hint of sadness came to my heart: I am no longer the young man who can run all afternoon on the court, I am no longer the young man who can miss the night to play cards with them "arch pig", I am no longer the "bitter" boy who can eat kuding tea.

Now my children have reached the age when I drank Kuding tea, and those who drank Kuding tea together in the first place are scattered and running to their own places.

Or thirty years of work experience and my fifty-year-old half a hundred life, let me meet more people, experience more things, I can no longer eat the "bitterness" of Kuding tea!
