茶行的日子，大多時候很慢。 有時候會有客人來， 推門進來，先聞到茶味， 坐下來喝一杯，聊幾句， 最後帶走一包茶。 不一定每次都買一樣的。 阿品伯也不多推， 只是泡給你喝， 你喜歡了，再說。 更多時候，其實沒什麼人。 店門開著， 風從外面進來， 茶壺在桌上溫著。 這種時候， 阿品伯就會把電視打開， 轉到體育台。 球賽還沒開始， 他就已經坐好了。 一邊看， 一邊把棋盤擺在旁邊。 比分起伏，他不太出聲。 只是偶爾哼一聲， 或把茶倒滿。 對阿品伯來說， 這樣就很好了。 有人來，就泡茶。 沒人來，就看球。 茶行就在那裡， 一天一天過去。
Most days at the tea shop are quiet. Sometimes customers come in. They push open the door, smell the tea first, sit down for a cup, talk a little, and then buy some tea before leaving. It’s not always the same kind. A-Pin-Bo never pushes. He just brews the tea. If you like it, then you buy it. Most of the time, though, there’s no one. The shop door stays open. A breeze drifts in from outside. The teapot rests on the table, still warm. When it’s like that, A-Pin-Bo turns on the TV and switches to the sports channel. Even before the game starts, he’s already seated. Watching quietly, with a chessboard set nearby. He doesn’t say much when the score changes. Just a soft hum now and then, or he pours himself another cup of tea. For A-Pin-Bo, this is more than enough. When customers come, he brews tea. When no one does, he watches the game. The tea shop stays there, and the days pass by, one after another.
