Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Craft Is Disliked
More than one pound of leaves were fried twice, and the final product was not as expected by Li Yu, only less than two taels.
After Li Yu carefully stored the fried leaves in a roasted crockpot, he was so busy touching the beads of sweat on his head with his hand and said, "Four doctors, please." ”
After Li Yu finished speaking, he walked in front of himself with the tea can.
When drinking tea, it is natural to pursue the environment.
After falling into the courtyard, taking out the special sand pot, tea cup, small stove and pear wood tray carved with the help of the embroiderer, Li Yu began to boil water and make tea.
And a group of old men sat around the table, looking at Li Yuyun's light and elegant performance art.
What is Master Hou doing?
Isn't there another wonderful use for the fried leaves?
Boil water to wash the leaves?
Li Yu's operation, in the eyes of Hua Tuo and the four of them, is simply a reward for human confusion.
But Li Yu didn't say a word, quietly waited for the water to boil, then poured the pot, warmed the cup, and finally took out the tea leaves to brew.
As the green and yellow tea fell into the tea cup, Li Yu opened his mouth and said, "Hua Lao, Sun Lao, you can taste it?" ”
Hua Tuo's four people went from watching Li Yu fry the leaves to soaking the leaves, and now they heard that Li Yu invited him to drink the leaves, and they felt that their brains were not enough.
After speaking, Li Yu raised the teacup to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then drank it all, and looked at Hua Tuo and the four of them with enjoyment on his face.
From Li Yu's expression, what Hua Tuo and the four of them interpreted was that everything was silent, please drink this cup to the fullest.
Hua Tuo took the lead in picking up the teacup and sniffed it on the tip of his nose like Li Yu.
It doesn't matter what I smell, I just feel a sweet fragrance that is detached from the raw smell of the leaves itself into my heart, and my mind is a little clearer for a while.
Hua Tuo couldn't help but praise: "What a special fragrance." ”
After speaking, he took a sip and drank the tea.
Then Hua Tuo's ruddy childlike face slowly turned into shock, and he couldn't help smacking his lips and exclaiming: "Sweet as Si, is this still a leaf?" ”
At this opening, Sun Simiao and the others suddenly couldn't bear it, and picked up the teacup again and again, smelling it like Li Yu had done before, and then drank it.
Without exception, and as Li Yu expected, he only heard Sun Simiao shouting: "This thing goes straight into the heart, or is it water?" ”
Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen didn't say a word, but the enjoyment on their faces really couldn't be faked.
is obviously telling Li Yu the word "refill".
Li Yu grinned and asked knowingly, "How do the four old doctors think this water is compared to warm water?" ”
"The old man thinks about it, and he can only describe it with the word wonderful!"
"I didn't expect that this ordinary leaf, after being stir-fried and soaked by Hou Ye, can make the boiling water taste sweet."
You can only drink two or three dishes of tea, but a few people drank four or five dishes until the taste was exhausted.
The four of them wanted to ask Li Yu for a little leaf, but because Li Yu had just fried it painstakingly, and the quantity was not much, they were unwilling to leave with some reluctance.
Li Yu will not be stingy, but today he made such two taels of tea, and there was not much to divide it, so he simply didn't mention it.
Seeing that Hua Tuo and the others wanted to leave, Li Yu explained heartily: "The four medical elders, after a few days the medicine farmer comes back from picking leaves, I sent someone to learn the craft of frying, so naturally I will send some people to the medical school." ”
Hearing Li Yu's explanation, several well-known Niu Pi miracle doctors showed relief and left with joy.
After seeing a few people leave, Li Yu said: "It's powerful, can you understand Benhou's tea-making skills just now." ”
Zhang Deli nodded first, then shook his head again, and said, "Master Hou, I saw it, but I didn't understand it......"
Li Yu smiled helplessly, the ancients could drink fried tea even if it was very exquisite, and he was being blind.
"It's okay if you don't understand, you can find a towel of brocade later, wrap some leaves and send them to Xianyang Palace."
Before Li Yu finished speaking, Zhang Deli was clever, and pointed to the bridge of his nose in shock and asked, "Hou, Master Hou, you let the little one enter Xianyang Palace?" ”
Zhang Deli never dreamed that one day, he would be able to enter the Xianyang Palace once and send things to the First Emperor.
Zhang Deli suddenly felt like a dream, then shook his head, and twisted the flesh around his waist with his hands......
While the pain hit, I heard Li Yu's voice coming, "Why are you stunned, go quickly." Then he came back to his senses and trotted all the way to the storeroom.
Li Yu looked at Zhile, no wonder Zhang Deli would be nervous and excited, if it was ordinary people, he could see the figure of the first emperor from a distance, then it would be regarded as the ancestral tomb smoking and burning high incense.
After Zhang Deli took a piece of brocade and came back with a small wooden box, Li Yu was a little reluctant to take out about five yuan of tea and put it in.
It's not too much, it's really a little less to say less, and this amount is estimated to be only enough for people who drink strong tea in later generations to brew.
After distributing the tea, Li Yu explained: "Don't look at it when you enter the palace, remember to tell the person in the palace that this tea is not easy to come by, save some drink." ”
When Zhang Deli heard this, he hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and replied: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the small one is saved, do you need to explain the details of the steps of making tea?" ”
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Then you don't have to, you just need to explain that you use boiling water to brew the tea leaves, and then wait for the water to enter your mouth." ”
Zhang Deli nodded, and left cautiously holding the wooden box containing the tea.
Li Yu muttered to himself at this time: I just hope that Lao Zhao will come to him to ask for it after drinking tea, after all, he is about to go to the southern line, and he has to keep a little inventory.
However, it was said that Zhang Deli took Li Yu's token of entering the palace into Xianyang Palace, and went all the way to the front of Xianyang Palace without hindrance.
Zhang Deli stood outside the door and didn't dare to look at it, he just felt that it was too unreal......
A man came out of the palace who listened, but it was Meng Yi who had seen him in the Hou Mansion.
Zhang Deli hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord asked the little one to send some novelties to His Majesty. ”
Meng Yi's expression moved, and he said with some surprise: "Immortal Monarch Marquis sent it?" ”
"Exactly."
"The prince has a heart, so what can the prince explain?"
Although Meng Yi also wanted to know what novelty was in the box, since it was given to His Majesty the First Emperor by the Immortal Monarch Marquis, he couldn't ask first.
Zhang Deli was a little nervous, and hurriedly recalled what Li Yu had explained, and then told Meng Yi word for word.
Meng Yi nodded when he heard this, then waved his hand again, and let Huangmen take Zhang Deli out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, something sent by the prince Li Yu."
Ying Zheng was surprised when he heard this, and sneered: "When did this Immortal Monarch become so sleek, he could actually think of me." ”
Listening to Ying Zheng's words, it is obvious that he has a lot to say about Li Yu's usual behavior.
How do you know that Li Yulong's triple crossbow is equipped with the guards of the Hou Mansion, and Yingzheng has eyes, but he didn't catch a single hair.
It is also said that this equipment is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not suitable for mass production and military use.
Besides, Na Lao Shizi eats the taste house, and if he gets some fine wine, he will have to supply it in limited quantities, if it weren't for Ying Zheng licking his old face and asking Meng Yi to ask for a few jars, I'm afraid that Li Yu won't want to give half a drop.
Now that the sun has come out of the west, Li Yu actually took the initiative to send things into the palace.
However, the first time in these eight hundred years has caught up, it has made Yingzheng somewhat relieved, after all, the Immortal Monarch Marquis is still thinking about himself in his heart.
Ying Zheng was relieved, simply put down the fold in his hand, and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
When Meng Yi heard this, he put the box on the desk and opened it.
It is a piece of brocade in the eye.
Ying Zheng, who aroused his curiosity, couldn't help but think: What is still wrapped in Jinpa?
But as the saying goes, the opposite of overjoy, is disappointment.
I saw a handful of leaves lying there quietly.
And because of the level of Li Yu's roasted tea, the tea leaves are not so natural rolls, and they look a little ugly.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, Meng Yi was also a little dumbfounded, and then remembered that the housekeeper of the Nahou Mansion had explained just now, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince still let people talk." ”
"Say."
"The prince said that this thing is called a leaf, which is not easy to come by, and it is made by the prince himself, so that His Majesty can save some drink."
Meng Yi gave Ying Zheng the original words, and looking at the things in the box that could be counted with the naked eye, he felt that Li Yu was too stingy......
Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this, so he questioned: "This ugly thing is actually made by Li Yu himself?" ”
In Ying Zheng's cognition, Li Yu left him with the impression that it was complex, exquisite, and mysterious.
Now it's good, this ugly so-called leaf is actually used to drink.
