Chapter 277: Longjing Fragrant Tea
Whoa, whoa, whoa! ”
"Whoa!"
In the tea-making workshop of the Chu Wangfu, the party waved a broom, constantly stir-fried tea leaves, and the first pot of fried tea was about to come out of the pot.
Wang Fugui is very shrewd in business, but the overall pattern is a little worse, no wonder before he defected to Li Kuan, he has not been able to become a top businessman in Chang'an City.
Li Kuan originally wanted to brag with him about how he thought about promoting tea on the grassland, but the moment the three words "Dengzhou Mansion" came out of Wang Fugui's mouth, Li Kuan had no idea of communicating with Wang Fugui about tea promotion.
Salt and iron tea, this is a very important three magic weapons for the feudal dynasty to deal with the grassland peoples.
Although it cannot be said that the Hu people succumbed to controlling these things, at least they could have a very good trade surplus effect at the economic level.
Li Kuan is already involved in this thing.
In terms of iron, the Chu Wangfu has its own iron mine and has also built a small iron-making workshop, but it has not succeeded in making steel, so Li Kuan did not expand the scale.
Now that's all that's left.
"Lord Wang, it's out of the pot!"
The party came to Li Kuan with a handful of tea leaves.
"Whew!"
Li Kuan picked up a pinch of tea leaves, put it in front of his nose, and took a deep breath.
Although the fragrance doesn't seem to be very pure, it finally has a bit of the taste of green tea in later generations.
"Go, bring the glasses that the king has prepared, and bring another pot of boiling water."
Whether the production of this Longjing fragrant tea is successful or not, you will only know after drinking it.
……
In Changxingfang, in a three-entry compound, Yang Benman is sitting under a ginkgo tree, admiring the blooming apricot blossoms and tasting the cake tea produced in the workshop at home, feeling very appropriate.
"Ah Lang, there's movement."
The housekeeper Yang Dong came back in a hurry from the outside and immediately came to Yang Benman.
"What's wrong? What's going on? ”
Yang Benman held the teacup in one hand and the lid in the other, and took a sip of tea.
The cake and tea boiled with green onions and salt are fragrant.
Delicious!
"Ah Lang, there is movement in the Chu Palace. A while ago, didn't they buy the tea gardens in Chang'an City everywhere, and then I arranged a few guys from the tea gardens in the past, and reported any movements immediately, but I didn't expect that there was really a situation early this morning. ”
"What's the situation? This tea garden has already been bought, is there anything you can't do in the daytime, do you have to do it early in the morning? ”
Hearing that it was related to the Chu Palace, and it also involved the tea garden in his own hands, Yang Benman immediately became interested.
"Tea picking, they actually started picking tea today, and they started picking before the sky was completely bright, and they finished when the sun came out."
Yang Dong couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and felt that the people in the Chu Wangfu who didn't understand tea were going to toss around blindly after buying the tea garden.
After tossing for a few years, it is estimated that the Chu Wangfu knows that the tea garden is not something that anyone can take care of, and when the time comes, maybe the tea garden will be able to return to the hands of the Yang family, and the price will definitely not be the current price.
"Start picking tea now? This tea has just begun to bud for a long time, and if it is picked, the output of the tea garden will definitely drop significantly. ”
Yang Benman was surprised, his own tea garden is normally speaking, it will take at least half a month to open the garden to pick tea, and the output is the largest time at that time, and the freshness of the tea leaves is taken into account.
"Definitely, I also heard that the people of the Chu Wangfu only pick two buds of leaves for each tooth plant, so the yield of a tea garden is estimated to be less than one-tenth of ours."
"They bought back the tea plantations at a high price, and the tea produced was less than one-tenth of ours, wouldn't they have lost all their money?"
Yang Benman looked surprised, although he felt that it seemed a little illogical, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
"Hey, hey! Ah Lang, wouldn't it be better to let the Chu Wangfu suffer a little loss and stay away from the tea? ”
Yang Dong is naturally clear about the grievances between his master and the Chu Palace.
"Let's find out again and see what kind of reputation the Chu Wangfu is doing."
……
In the Daming Palace, Li Shimin rarely took a boat trip to the lake in the harem and felt the scenery of spring flowers.
After Li Yuan's death, it was naturally impossible for Daming Palace to be empty there, and Li Shimin naturally moved from Taiji Palace to Daming Palace completely.
"Emperor, yesterday evening, Kuan'er sent a few bamboo tubes of new tea, I tried it this morning, I think it is really very unique, and I will let someone make a pot for you to taste."
Although the princess of Chu is also old, her body is not bad.
"New tea?"
Li Shimin thought about it yesterday, it seems that Lan He also mentioned this matter to him, but he didn't care.
Could it be that this new tea is really different?
"That's right, this new tea is called Longjing fragrant tea, you can drink it directly with boiling water, and the taste is completely different from the previous tea cakes."
After all, the princess of Chu is old, and she is not very used to drinking the strong tea with a bunch of things added to it, but she didn't expect her grandson to happen to send a different new tea.
"Really? At that moment, I will taste it. ”
It was rare to see that the princess of Chu was so interested in a specific thing, and Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little curious about the new tea.
……
After the early dynasty, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo, Dai Xuan, Xiao Yu and other ministers were all summoned to the Xuanzheng Hall by Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, could it be that something big happened in which state capital recently?"
Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin actually called so many ministers over, and couldn't help but filter the recent events in his mind, he didn't expect that there was anything worthy of such a stirring up of the people.
Could it be that there is any news that he doesn't know about the left servant of Shangshu?
"Xuan Ling, if it's okay, can't I call all Aiqing over?"
Li Shimin was obviously in a good mood, and he made a rare joke with Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty said that it was okay, naturally." ”
"Your Majesty, did you get some treasure that you want me to admire?"
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly thought that some time ago, when Li Shimin occasionally got a pair of Wang Xizhi's authentic works, he also called some Wenchen to appreciate it together, could it be the same today?
"Treasures?"
Li Shimin was stunned, "It's not wrong to say that it's a treasure, I am here to let everyone come over to taste tea today, a new tea and brewing method, which will definitely give everyone Aiqing a different experience." ”
"Tea tasting?"
Whether it was Fang Xuanling or the eldest grandson Wuji, they were all surprised by this answer.
"Your Majesty is the son of today, and every move is related to the lives of the people in the world, how can you waste the time of the ministers to taste tea at such a time?"
Wei Zheng, as always, opened the mode of exhortation a little regardless of the occasion.
No wonder the end is so miserable after death.
