Chapter 972: Tea Tasting Hou Jiayin
Xicheng County.
The camp of Huang Zhongjun.
Liu Zheng sat on the main seat and waited for the good news of Huang Zhong and these people.
Not so long ago. Liu Zheng had already sent Huang Zhong's main force to cut off the road of Guan Yu's army to transport grain, and now two days have passed.
If you calculate the time, it should be about the same.
Although Liu Zheng was very curious, as a superior, he was still calm.
He sat quietly on the carved wooden chair in the main seat, looking at the pot of tea on the board.
Pick up the teacup and shake it a few times from time to time.
Then he put it to his lips and took a sip.
Savor the taste of this tea.
These teas are Longjing teas that he specially brought from Jianye.
Tea has existed since ancient times.
It is a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years.
During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, tea has been deeply rooted in the lives of the people. I'm drawing. It can often be seen in the medical classics written by Zhang Zhongjing and others.
Sima Xiangru of the Western Han Dynasty listed 20 kinds of medicines at that time in "Fan Jiang", among which the surprise was tea. This is the earliest written record of tea as a medicine in the Han Dynasty in China. Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once wrote "On Food", which believed that the main pharmacological function of tea is: "bitter tea is eaten for a long time, and it is beneficial".
It's just that tea at this time has not been fully accepted by the general public.
The only people who can really like tea are the nobles of Zhumen.
Of course, as a modern person, in addition to drinking, Liu Zheng also drinks tea.
Therefore, he promoted the cultivation of tea in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Although the tea he drinks in this cup now is not a real Longjing.
But it also smells like that.
In this big tent, it is Dian Wei who is different from Liu Zheng who tastes tea unhurriedly.
As a modern person, Liu Zheng knows how to taste tea, and has an innate sense of familiarity with tea.
But Dian Wei is different, he is a native of the Three Kingdoms.
is not a high-ranking official and nobleman, but just a flat-headed common man.
It's just that because he has a body that can fight, he followed Liu Zheng step by step to his current status, and he can barely be regarded as a nobleman.
But the nature of being a poor person cannot be changed.
Tea leaves seemed to him to be nothing more than tea with a somewhat bitter taste.
It doesn't make much other sense, just hold the cup in your hand and put it to your mouth, and drink it all the way you go.
There are no rules.
In this regard, Liu Zheng also taught Dian Wei before, but Dian Wei never liked this kind of conformist thing.
He's just so straightforward that he doesn't like to do such bothersome things.
Finish with a cup of tea.
Dian Wei got up and walked outside the big tent.
He lifted the curtain of the tent and looked outside.
However, when he didn't seem to see anything, he lowered the curtain and walked back to his seat.
I wanted to say a few words to Liu Zheng. For a while, seeing Liu Zheng looking so calm and relaxed, he didn't dare to speak.
Skimmed Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Liu Zheng.
At this time, Guo Jia also held a cup to learn from Liu Zheng's appearance, and savored the tea in this cup.
After Dian Wei saw Guo Jia's appearance, he sighed.
He didn't dare to talk to Liu Zheng, but he could talk to Guo Jia.
"O military advisor! When have you been drinking tea here? ”
Dian Wei interrupted Guo Jia with a word.
Guo Jia turned his head and glanced at Dian Wei, and then put down the teacup in his hand.
"Brother Dian, what do you mean by that? What do you mean when is this? ”
"It's just afternoon. Are you in such a hurry for dinner? ”
Guo Jia made fun of Dian Wei when he opened his mouth. There are only two things in Dian Wei's hobbies, one is drinking. One is to eat.
Compared with drinking, Dian Wei prefers to eat.
Of course, he was able to become friends with Dian Wei precisely because they both liked to drink.
It's just that Dian Wei likes to eat more, and it's the feeling of drinking and eating meat in large chunks.
"Well, I'm not talking about eating. I mean, General Huang Zhong has been gone here for two days, and there is no news at all. ”
Dian Wei paced back and forth, and the thing he was worried about was Huang Zhong.
Although Huang Zhong led 2,000 soldiers and horses, all of them were elite, and went to loot the grain convoy, this kind of thing should be captured.
But there are accidents in everything, now that I have been gone for two days, there is no news back, Dian Wei usually has a good relationship with Huang Zhong, so he will naturally worry about this old brother.
"General Huang Zhong is heroic, he is the strongest man in the army, and with him on the horse, all small things will naturally be captured. Brother Dian, why worry about him? Let's just have a cup of tea here. Just wait for his good news. ”
Seeing Dian Wei so worried, Guo Jia still comforted him, so that he didn't have to worry so much.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't drink in the army now, how could Guo Jia endure it? must have dragged Dian Wei to drink together.
However, because Liu Zheng still had to be scrupulous, he didn't go directly to drink.
Learn from Liu Zheng's example and practice drinking tea here.
"I'm not worried, but I've been there for two days, and there's no news at all. Did something go wrong? ”
Dian Wei saw that Guo Jia and Liu Zheng didn't seem to be worried, and they were originally a little worried, but at this moment, they also restrained a little and sat back in the chair.
Liu Zheng, who hadn't spoken much, looked at it. Dian Wei, who was a little anxious, looked at Guo Jia, who was pretending to be bored, again.
Liu Zheng didn't know what these two guys were thinking.
"Okay, okay, you two don't act with me, don't you just not let you drink?"
"I see that you have been holding it for two days, and today, I guess you don't have to hold it anymore."
As soon as Liu Zheng said this, Guo Jia and Dian Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Is there any truth in what the widow said?"
Liu Zheng said to them again with certainty.
With these words, Guo Jia immediately became excited.
"Let me guess. Why is Your Majesty willing to let us drink today? It should be that General Huang Zhong has already received good news. The matter of cutting off Guan Yu's grain transportation team should be done. ”
Guo Jia was still smart, and after Liu Zheng allowed them to drink, he immediately guessed that it should be Huang Zhong's side that the news came.
Sure enough, after Liu Zheng heard Guo Jia's words, he couldn't help but smile.
"Fengxiao is still smart, and you can't hide anything from your eyes."
"Feng Xiao didn't dare, but this matter was too easy to guess. After all, General Huang's bravery, it would be overkill to rob a baggage team. ”
After Dian Wei on the side heard the conversation between Liu Zheng and Guo Jia, he thought he couldn't admit it, but he didn't think much about it, he was just happy for Huang Zhong.
From the conversation between Liu Zheng and Guo Jia, Dian Wei knew that Huang Zhong should have done it.
