解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題的聰明主意。她邀請(qǐng)了一些朋友和她一起吃下午飯。宴會(huì)在四點(diǎn)到五點(diǎn)之間舉行。

事實(shí)上，有人說(shuō)早午餐的靈感來(lái)自于yum-cha。ItisbelievedthatthecustombeganthousandsofyearsagowhenteahousesstartedcroppingupalongtheSilkRoadtoproviderestforwearytravellers.據(jù)信，這一習(xí)俗始于數(shù)千年前，當(dāng)時(shí)絲綢之路沿線開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)茶館，為疲憊的游客提供休息。Later,itwasdiscoveredthatteaaidsdigestion,soteahouseownersstartedofferingsnackswiththeirteaandyumchawasborn.
