"Thirty states are flooded, and lives are devastated!"

After taking a sip of the goat's milk offered by the spring cigarette, Chen Lin sighed and said, "Although Your Majesty has sent people to give relief, but at the same time, it has also sent a letter to all states, so that everyone must be careful...... King, although there are very few floods in Luzhou, since the holy decree has been issued, I have to be prepared! ”

“……”

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Li Yuanjia instantly felt a little toothache.

Thirty states have a big flood or something, that's a matter of Shandong and Henan, it's far away from Luzhou, and it has nothing to do with him. And don't look at Chen Lin's expression of worrying about the country and the people, but he has been asked to see this guy many times, and Li Yuanjia also has a certain immunity, so he won't think that this official is good or anything.

Li Yuanjia's toothache is the so-called flood protection.

Isn't this what water conservancy is called? Where does he understand this!

So resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Li Yuanjia frowned and said, "Chen Beijia, this king doesn't know much about water conservancy, and everything depends on you...... Not? ”

The light in his eyes suddenly flashed, and the cup that Li Yuanjia had just picked up suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Regarding Wang Xu's words of shirking his work, Chen Lin was really familiar with it, and he was not surprised at all. In fact, if Li Yuanjia really took this seriously, and even took the initiative to say that he wanted to take on the responsibility of the Luzhou Assassin, then he would feel strange - in the more than a year since he took office, hasn't Lord Assassin Shi always done this?

But seeing that the cup Li Yuanjia picked up suddenly stopped in mid-air, Chen Lin was a little surprised.

The "etiquette" of serving tea and sending guests originated in the Song Dynasty, of course Chen Beijia couldn't understand it, and even Li Yuanjia's attendants didn't understand it, so they naturally wouldn't shout "send off" or something. But there are usually more times to come to the door to ask for a meeting, but Chen Lin is used to King Xu's action, knowing that once the other party picks up the teacup, it means that he is bored with what he said, and Chen Beijia, who is exquisite, will naturally take the initiative to take these responsibilities on his body, and then get up and say goodbye.

But today, why didn't King Xu drink it halfway through?

"Huh?"

While he was pondering what was going on today, Chen Lin's nose suddenly smelled a very strange smell, which made him close his mouth when he wanted to open and say something.

"This scent...... It's a little weird! ”

While secretly thinking about what kind of fragrance this was, Chen Lin sniffed with her nose with a slight gaffe, only to find that this fragrance came from the cup that Li Yuanjia had just lifted the lid!

After discovering the source, Chen Lin became more and more strange.

Being in a high position in Luzhou, and at the same time from a family, Chen Lin can be regarded as well-informed since he was a child, and he doesn't know how many things he has drunk. But after searching his memory, he couldn't figure out what the fragrance he smelled at this time was coming from, but he felt that the fragrance was faint and faint, and the smell was refreshing!

Could it be that it is a precious drink exclusively offered by the royal family?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Lin's throat subconsciously surged. Of course, he reacted immediately, and hurriedly glanced at Li Yuanjia carefully, and found that King Xu was still in a daze, and he didn't notice his indecent behavior at all, so he was relieved.

Merely......

"Weird! Eccentric! What the hell is this thing? ”

Although he wanted to suppress the curiosity in his heart, this faint fragrance was so strange, just like holding the softest feather and gently scratching Chen Lin, so that he couldn't concentrate at all, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to the cup in Li Yuanjia's hand.

I don't know why, Chen Lin is particularly sensitive to this aroma.

So after enduring it for a while, Chen Lin hesitated slightly, narrowed his eyes and simply asked directly: "King, I don't know what is so fragrant in your cup?" ”

"Incense?"

Being awakened from his contemplation by Chen Lin's voice, Li Yuanjia was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Did Chen Beijia say this?" Hehe, it's just a cup of weak tea. ”

"Tea? Is this the taste of tea? ”

After listening to King Xu's answer, Chen Lin's eyes widened suddenly.

Of course, it is impossible for him not to know about tea, in fact, Chen Lin has a close friend who works in Jiangnan, and he has mentioned this thing to him many times in letters, and he once asked someone to send a pack of Luzhou. But after boiling the tea and adding the mutton fat, pepper and other things recommended by friends, Chen Lin found that he really couldn't enjoy this thing, and soon put the bag of tea on the shelf......

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's already broken, right?

But even if he only drank it once, Chen Lin was sure that the tea he had drunk and the tea in Li Yuanjia's cup at this time would definitely not be the same thing!

This fragrance is too far behind.

"Yes, that's the smell of tea."

Taking a sip of tea slowly, Li Yuanjia smiled: "But it's not the kind of tea that the Jiangnan Shi clan is used to drinking, but I brewed it myself...... Hehe, I'm just afraid that Chen Beijia won't get used to this taste, so I asked my subordinates to give you goat's milk. ”

Speaking of the tea leaves in this cup, Li Yuanjia was also quite proud in his heart.

This year, Hanshan sent people to Jiangnan to collect tea, and collected the best new tea from Li Yuanjia in one go, and sent it back to Luzhou as quickly as possible. And it was precisely because of these abundant raw materials that he asked Liu Mei and them to let go of their hands and feet, and tried to fry tea over and over again.

He had only drunk tea leaves, and he really didn't know how those things were made.

But Li Yuanjia knew the word fried tea, so he guessed that the tea that ordinary people drink should be fried. It just so happened that the palace had made a lot of iron pots, so Liu Mei and they would not be helpless against the tea.

Just knowing the word fried tea does not mean that you know how to fry it.

Anyway, the hundred catties of tea fell into the hands of Liu Mei and Yu Niang, and they were divided into hundreds according to Li Yuanjia's instructions, each of which was a kind of stir-frying method - iron pots with different heats, different frying methods, and different stir-fry times, and finally what was obtained was tea with different appearances and tastes.

At the beginning, Yu Niang and they fried at least seven or eight portions of tea leaves, and later after knowing how to control the fire, they suffered more than a dozen losses in the frying time; When I finally got a little experience in the fire and time, I found that it was easy to crush the tea with a spatula; In the end, Yu Niang gritted her teeth and began to stir-fry with her hands, but a bag of tea leaves was fried, some were slightly burnt, and some were still green, which was really uneven......

All in all, it's hard to describe the hardships.

Fortunately, everything didn't need Li Yuanjia to try it himself, and in the end, when he was almost desperate, thinking that he would have to wait for next year, Yu Niang and Liu Mei finally brought a bag of passable tea - the penultimate material, and finally barely made a decent one.

So our King Xu finally has tea that can barely be eaten.

However, after the pride was over, Li Yuanjia, who didn't want to give away his pitiful tea for the time being, hurriedly waved his hand and changed the topic: "By the way, Chen Beijia, after the autumn harvest, I want to recruit some people, how many people can I recruit if I am nearby?" ”
