"Brother Weihan, I, did I say the wrong thing?" Looking at the faces of several people, Yun Shu couldn't help but doubt himself.

"No, no. It's just that this Liu Gongzi is also the same as me, and he doesn't like to read very much. Li Weihan explained good-naturedly.

Yun Shu suddenly, "It's Yun Shu who is abrupt, please forgive Brother Liu." In fact, Yun is also a fun-loving person, but the control at home is too strict. ”

"When did Yun Gongzi get acquainted with my Brother Wei Han? People like me, who often go in and out with Brother Wei Han, only met Yun Gongzi today. Tang Ansheng saw that his cousin was so familiar with this Yunshu, and even exposed his own shortcomings and played a round for him. also tried to cooperate with the mud to break the deadlock.

"Thanks to Brother Li, it is also a recent thing."

Li Weihan didn't want him to continue to get to the bottom of it, so he said, "Hurry up, what kind of tea do you drink?" Point it yourself. Don't just talk. ”

Li Weihan maintained it like this, and Liu Chengxu didn't have a good face, patted Tang Ansheng's shoulder and said, "Your second uncle has to be recorded in his account." What else? Xiao Er, bring you the best tea here. ”

"Add a few more pieces of new fruit. Just go! Shen Siyao, who had not spoken for a long time, said.

Shen Siyao is the least talkative of these people, but he is observant and can get to the point in every sentence. Seeing that Li Weihan is maintaining this cloud tree everywhere. He said this to inherit Liu Chengxi, but in fact, he said what he wanted to say for Li Weihan, so as not to let Li Weihan take care of Yunshu excessively and make Liu Chengxi unhappy.

Yun Shu thought that he was also a good talker these days, but he didn't expect that in just a few words, there would be so many waves underneath.

"Everyone will know each other in the future, Yun Gongzi is just immersed in reading, which is monotonous, but he can also get together with us more." Shen Siyao said to Yun Shu.

"Exactly. When it comes to fun, a few of us are still very good at it! Tang Ansheng said.

Li Weihan said: "Are you so proud of having fun?" ”

Tang Ansheng defended himself: "Tsk, what do I mean by that? I mean, we're good at it. As the saying goes, the ruler is long, and the inch is short. Yun Gongzi is an open-minded reader, I don't think he will be biased! ”

Yun Shu said: "What Brother Tang said is extremely true. Brother Li, you know me, I like it from the bottom of my heart, but it's just inconvenient to act like this now. If there is a chance, Yun will definitely accompany him to the end. ”

As he was talking, Xiao Er offered refreshments. "A few sons, this is the new Phoenix tea in the tea shop, the best in the tea. Please taste! ”

"What does Brother Yun think?" Shen Siyao said.

Yun Shu said: "Brother Shen smiled, in terms of tea tasting, the younger brother is a rough person. I only feel that the fragrance is pleasant, and the mouth is sweet. ”

"It can be seen that you have half of the four flavors in the tea." Li Weihan said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The first emperor once used the words 'fragrant, sweet, heavy, and smooth' to summarize the taste of tea, and good tea is equal to aroma, taste, structure, endoplasm and touch. You have tasted the fragrance and sweetness, and then tasted the structure, intrinsic texture and touch. If Brother Yun had some understanding of Zen Taoism, it would be easier for him to taste these two things. ”

Yunshu took another sip and praised: "Sure enough, I didn't expect Brother Li to have such a study of tea!" ”

"Where, it's just that my mother likes to drink tea, and I've heard a lot." Li Weihan laughed.

Tang Ansheng saw that they were right, holding the teacup, tasting and tasting, "Why can I only taste fragrance and sweetness?" Can't taste that heavy and slippery? ”

"Little Er, give this son another lamp, let him taste it slowly." Liu Chengxi quipped.

"I don't believe it, you've tasted it all?" Tang Ansheng was not convinced.

"Isn't it just the four flavors of fragrant, sweet, heavy and slippery, my sensitive tongue has already tasted it! What like you! Liu Chengxi said in disgust.

The crowd laughed at the bickering between the two of them. The atmosphere of the tea room is finally lively.

The young man in front of the door of the elegant room on the opposite side respectfully led Tang Zhao inside. It's just that Tang Zhaoyu, who was still happy just now, had a much calmer face at this time, and he didn't say anything when he sat down.

The young man picked up the teacup and roasted it lightly by the small stove and said: "I know that Tang Dianyu likes to drink tea, today, I specially invite Tang Dianyu to taste this little dragon group tea." ”

"Oh, Xiaolong Tuan Tea, the best in tea, but I don't know how Xue Gongzi's tea cooking skills are?" Tang Zhaoyu naturally knew that Xiaolongtuan tea was of high value, and the punching point was extremely particular, and if the tea was not cooked, it would also affect the taste of the tea.

Xue Gongzi said with a smile: "Tang Dian is good at the tea ceremony, and today I want to ask Tang Dian Yu for guidance." ”

I saw that Xue Gongzi's eyes were deep and quiet, and he put the ground tea into the tea cup, held the long-necked tea bottle, lightly touched the tea, mixed the tea powder into a paste, and held the long-necked tea bottle and poured water into the tea cup. The neck of the tea bottle is long, the water is evenly poured and powerful, and at the same time, the bamboo whisk is used to make the tea powder and hot water fully mixed, and the tea soup is flooded with pleasant fine foam. At a glance, insiders know that it is a good technique, but that Xue Gongzi is different and elegant.

Xue Gongzi picked up the teacup and said, "Tang Dian, please taste it." ”

Tang Zhaoyu took the teacup and looked at it carefully. The glaze of the tea cup is black, with small brown stripes on it, the foam in the cup is still densely bitten, the wall of the cup is clean and traceless, and the tea soup presents the whiteness of the top grade. "This rabbit is not ordinary, the tea is pleasant, the tea color is also excellent, Xue Gongzi is really good at fighting tea."

"Tang Dian has won the award, how about tasting the tea?"

Tang Zhaoyu took a sip, "The entrance is sweet and stretched, and it is indeed the best grade." "This Xue Gongzi's tea cooking skills are indeed rare.

Putting down the teacup, Tang Zhaoyu said, "Xue Gongzi, you won't just invite me to taste tea today, right?" ”

Xue Gongzi smiled faintly, "Presumably Tang Dianyu also knows that the high price of this Xiaolongtuan tea lies in the multiple complicated processes required to make it. The tea buds need to be steamed first, into the small squeeze to remove its water, and into the large squeeze to remove its paste, after multiple squeezing, it is necessary to grind in the basin, and then add starch, borneol and other ingredients, and finally can be pressed into exquisite and precious tea cakes in the mold. And if the tea-making process is not mature enough, even if you know the method, it is difficult to make a superb tea cake. I and Tang Dian Yuping Su are both dealing with medicinal materials, and I want to come to the process of refining the imperial medicine, just like this little dragon group tea. ”

Tang Zhaoyu clasped his hands and said: "That's exactly the reason. How dare we be negligent in developing the imperial medicine for the Holy One, I am afraid that it will be more meticulous and meticulous than making this little dragon group tea. ”

"My Xue family has worked hard for several generations to develop medicine, and now Jishitang's medicinal materials are of high quality, exquisite processing technology, and very good medicinal effect, and it also has a good reputation among relatives and nobles in the capital."

"I know that, too." Although Tang Zhaoyu's heart is like a mirror, he is not picky.

Xue Gongzi smiled lightly: "I heard that the palace intends to select the medicinal materials for the imperial pharmacy among the people, and this time I want to ask Tang Dian Yu Duoduo to give me more guidance and help Jishitang." ”

Xue Gongzi said seriously. There are strict inspection criteria for selecting the medicinal materials to be enshrined in the Imperial Pharmacy, and I am a small pawn, but I am just acting on orders. Although Jishitang is the largest pharmacy in Beijing, the process is still indispensable, and if your pharmacy is indeed very qualified, there is no need to worry. Tang Zhaoyu did not accept the offer.

The reason why he came here today was because he was entrusted by his friends, and he couldn't shirk it. In order to enshrine the qualifications of the imperial pharmacy medicinal materials, the major pharmacies in Beijing squeezed their heads. But after all, it is a medicine to feed the emperor, and as a pawn, he has a great responsibility. The signboard of the imperial doctor of his own generation cannot be smashed for a little cheapness.

"Then, can Tang Dianyu give me some advice?"

"Well, I think, Xue Gongzi also sees the problem very thoroughly. However, inheriting Xue Gongzi's love for cooking tea, Tang naturally said a few words. There are two important qualifications for enshrinement of imperial medicine, one is to enshrine the best medicinal materials, and the other is to enshrine secret medicines with excellent effects. Xue Gongzi's Jishitang naturally has no shortage of high-quality medicinal materials, and if he can offer a secret medicine, he will naturally win. ”

Xue Yu, the owner of Jishitang, the largest pharmacy in Beijing, is only in his twenties, and he has only taken over the family's business for a year, but he is well organized. Those who have the ability will not be biased, and always want to do a better business. For example, if you can get this qualification, it will be a tiger to the long-term development of Jishitang; But if it is taken by others, it will quickly become a strong opponent. Some pharmacies have exclusive secret medicines, but Jishitang has focused on the medicinal materials business in recent years, and the quality of medicinal materials is good, and the development of secret medicines has been relaxed, and it is difficult to stand out for a while. That's why I want to find Tang Dianyu, it's best to be accommodating.

"Then, about the secret medicine, if Tang Dian can help one or two, Xue will thank you."

"This Xue Gongzi will embarrass me, my Tang family has served the Holy Lord for generations, and if there is a secret medicine, it has already been presented."

Xue Yu still didn't give up, "Then can the Tang Emperor know the recent preferences of the saint?" ”

Tang Zhaoyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master Xue, this is a secret matter of the palace, and I will not mention it." Tang's identity and responsibilities are really inconvenient to disclose, so forgive me. ”

Listening to Tang Dianyu's words, Xue Yu said secretly: This Tang Dianyu is really a slippery head. It seems that it is not enough to get him to help.

"Please also invite Tang Dian Yu Haihan, Xue's words are abrupt."

Tang Zhaoyu shook his hand, "It's okay." Entrusted by others, I have tasted tea, and I have said that, I should go. "Then get up and leave.

"Tang Dianyu, please stay."

"Xue Gongzi still has something?"

"People say that the sword is given to heroes, Tang Dianyu is a person who understands tea, and he likes this little dragon group tea so much, there is a box here, and please accept it from Tang Dianyu." Xue Yu pulled out a beautifully carved box and said.

"Xue Gongzi is polite. was useless, and Tang failed to relieve Xue Gongzi's worries. Besides, this Xiaolongtuan tea is too valuable, and Xue does not dare to accept it. ”

"Tang Dianyu is too modest, you are giving Xue Mou's guidance, how can you say that it is useless? In the future, I will take care of Tang Dianyu! ”

Tang Zhaoyu is a tea lover, this little dragon group tea can be worth two taels of gold for a catty, and it is also priceless, so he hesitated and took the box, and said: "Xue Gongzi's words are so earnest, if I push back again, I will pretend to be a gesture." Then I'll take it. ”

Xue Yu said to the entourage standing outside: "Jiang Kuo, go downstairs and prepare the carriage and horses for Tang Dian." He said to Tang Zhao again, "I'll send Tang Dianyu downstairs." ”

"Then it's troublesome Xue Gongzi."

"Tang Dianyu is careful of his step."

Tang Zhao came out of the door of the elegant room, and saw that the door on the opposite side was still closed, so he asked Cha Xiaoer, "The sons on the other side, are they still there?" ”

"The sons are still drinking tea."

"You can remember, put the consumption of those sons in my account, and when those sons came out, they said that the tea money had been settled."

Xue Yu said: "Leave this to me." Tang Dianyu rest assured. ”

"This is unacceptable, this is my intention, how can I bother Xue Gongzi."
