佐茶的鱼

   很多人都知道马祖生产一种细小的香鱼,用辣椒炒来佐饭很开胃口,我们泾县也产这种鱼,体积还要小些,名叫琴鱼,传说西汉炼士琴高,选了泾县北门外一处山明水秀的地方烧丹炼药,丹成,便羽化而登仙,临上天时,感念这处地方的水质太好,应有所报答,于是顺手把药罐子里的药渣撒向河中,便化作尾尾红色的小鱼。这种小鱼便是泾县琴溪有名的琴鱼。神话归神话,鱼却是一味上品,据说以前曾作贡品,其名贵可以想见,但这种琴鱼可不是用来当菜佐饭的,那未免猪八戒吃人参果--有点太糟蹋东西了。

  江南人嗜饮茶,泾县白山出产一种名贵的茶叶,泡在杯中颜色便转成白的,这是泾县的白云茶。

  有好的茶叶必须配上好泉水,那才相得益彰,而琴溪的水恰是上等好水,两种好东西配在一起,便变成无上妙品。路过琴溪的人,事先都要携带一个毛竹筒,以便装些溪水回去孝敬年老爹娘。但是这还不够完美,最完美的必须在饮早茶时,配上一小撮琴鱼。祖父起身很早,他必定先到河边柳林中打完一趟太极拳回来才饮早茶,饮早茶时必定配一小碟琴鱼和一大碟子桂花酥糖,姑姑在家已经为他老人家准备妥当了的。

  祖父吃琴鱼,是用大拇指和食指去“钳”。每次只限两条鱼,我说爷爷好小气,他老人家笑笑说:“这东西比鸦片还贵哪!”

  贵还在其次,还难买。琴鱼是论两论钱不论斤的,因为琴鱼产量少,很难捕到。我11岁时离家赴宣城当学徒,曾经过琴溪,因为等渡船,顺便看当地人用网捕鱼,每次收网,总不过一二十尾,不够铺满一只手掌心的,因为稀少,所以贵,因为有神话,其味又鲜美,所以名贵。名贵也者,定有很多道理也。

  祖父的早茶在地方上很有点名气,有事来需求的一定在早晨赶来,因为早晨时候,祖父的心情最好,几乎有求必应,到晚上来就不见得了。

  琴鱼未必每早必有,因为有时候有钱也买不到,但桂花酥糖则从未缺过,因为制酥糖的是官庄的玉成轩糕饼铺。我家吃饼、送礼祖父必指定这个字号,道理我不知道。但别人家却对我祖父的嗜好摸得很清楚,过年过节,送来的四色礼,一定是桂花酥糖、雪片、蜜枣和绿豆糕。因为酥糖是黄色的,雪片是白色的,蜜枣是红的,绿豆糕是绿的。我忘记到了冬天,绿豆糕该换哪一样了。

  我自小跟祖父学着饮早茶,只学会了吃桂花酥糖,饮茶则一如牛饮,不辨其味。

  台北衡阳路采芝端和成都路的老天禄,都卖桂花酥糖,包装得很精美,但吃后粘牙。如今我已好多年不曾“粘牙”了,不知道品质改良了一些没有。

     When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes

together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. "Every time you meet someone in a social situation,

give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did

just that."

     When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In

general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should not make the

other person think we are too sure of ourselves.

     Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my

nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way." In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice

can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any

changes we choose to make in our personality. "It's like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at

first, but it goes much better than the old one."

     But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships,

especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of

play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to

complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the

whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.

     The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every

school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on

how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.

1. When first introduced to new people, we should __________.

A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people's feeling

A. should be set as a required course in schools

A. being totally honest

A. The Key to Success
