Night Talk Around the Fire in the Teahouse

My name is Chen Yu, and I am an ethnic minority in southwest China. I opened a small teahouse on an ancient street in my hometown that is said to have a history of more than 600 years. As we all know, apart from discussing business in the teahouse, most of the time the tea guests spend their time chatting about mountains and rivers all over the world. In my teahouse, there are a group of old tea drinkers who like to chat about strange stories while drinking tea. Every day after dinner, they would sit down by my tea stove and tell some stories that were said to be their own personal experiences or the personal experiences of others. They also gave this kind of gathering a very elegant name: Night Talk around the stove. PS: The stories in this book are all fictitious, and any similarity is purely coincidental.
