Chapter 8 Completely learned
"Nephew Li Tai, I've seen Uncle Eleven!"
"Haha, hurry up, hurry up!"
After Li Tai finished saluting, Li Yuanjia hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to personally help the prince and nephew, who was the most popular in front of the emperor at the moment, but as soon as Li Yuanjia's hand was so forceful, his face changed instantly!
"Damn, this big nephew is too fat, right?!"
After finally helping King Wei up, Li Yuanjia's eyelids jumped at the same time, and he secretly had a speculation: "Just this body of fat, plus Li Tai's head, to say the least, there are more than two hundred catties, right?" No wonder this kid's life is so short, even if he doesn't fail to seize the throne, his life won't be long! ”
I secretly complained in my heart, but Li Yuanjia's face was always full of smiles, and he said softly: "Come, Xiaotai, hurry up and sit down and talk." ”
Because of the advice of a certain minister, except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Yuanjia does not need to return the gifts to other nephews, so every time he sees Li Tai, he is in a good mood.
"Hehe, thank you Uncle Eleven."
Li Tai's posture was very low today, and he sat down carefully after bowing slightly. Then after feeling the solidity of the wide chair under his buttocks, King Wei exhaled softly and completely relieved his heart.
Looking at his nephew's small movements and expressions, Li Yuanjia suddenly felt that this kid was also quite interesting.
The uncle and nephew chatted for a few words, and in the end, Li Yuanjia couldn't help it and asked, "Xiaotai, did you come to my Han Wangfu in person this time, is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Eleven."
Smiling, Li Tai nodded and said, "I came to visit you today, and I really have something I want to ask...... Hey? Uncle Eleven, today's tea is different from the one you gave me last time! ”
After taking a sip of tea, Li Tai looked at the teacup in his hand with some surprise.
"Oh? Can you drink it out? ”
After listening to his words, Li Yuanjia was suddenly surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked: "Xiaotai, tell me, what do you think is the difference between this tea and the last time?" ”
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Tai took another sip, squinted his eyes and tasted it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "It's not easy to say, it seems that the bitterness is still there, but the astringency is ...... That's right, it's less astringent! ”
A pair of small eyes opened suddenly, and Li Tai said with great certainty.
"Hahaha......"
"Uh, what's wrong Uncle Eleven?"
Looking at Uncle Eleven, who was clapping his hands and laughing, and seemed to be extremely happy, Li Tai was a little stunned in an instant, and he didn't know which piece of itchy flesh he had just said that amused him, and he was almost out of breath when he laughed.
"Not bad, not bad, hahaha!"
After laughing for a while, Li Yuanjia finally stopped, but the eyes that looked at his nephew were extremely satisfied: "Xiaotai, Xiaotai, do you know how many people I have given tea to before and after, and taught them how to taste tea?" But do you know how many people are willing to drink this kind of tea instead of adding salt sauce, vinegar, onions, ginger and garlic to it? ”
After hearing these words, Li Tai finally understood what this Uncle Wang meant, and knew why he was so happy.
With a dumb smile, Li Tai spread his hands and said, "The little nephew just thinks that after simply brewing with boiling water, the fragrance of this tea is quite pleasing, and there is no need to add other things...... Why, are there very few people like the little nephew? ”
"That's right, you're the only one so far!"
While giving a thumbs up to the other party, Li Yuanjia grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.
Happy!
Very happy!
Since the tea leaves were fried at home, no matter whether the taste is good or bad, whether the quality is good or bad, in fact, Li Yuanjia doesn't care very much. But whether he gave it to the emperor and the crown prince, or Fang Xuanling and Yuwen Shiji, he didn't seem to have much interest in tea. Even if you give Li Yuanjia face to drink so many times, you have to add goat's milk, green onion and ginger, oil and salt......
To be honest, Li Yuanjia was about to despair.
Sometimes he even wonders if he's the weird one. Tea is something that should be drunk with condiments?
So after hearing Li Tai say that he also likes to drink tea, Li Yuanjia was so happy, and directly waved his hand and said: "Since Xiaotai you like it, it's better to bring more when you leave today." Anyway, I can't drink much by myself, and I still have hundreds of catties of stock at home......"
"A hundred pounds? So little? ”
Hearing him say this, Li Tai was a little stunned: "Uncle Eleven, I heard that you have bought thousands of acres of mountainous land in Jiangnan to plant tea trees, and it has been several years, why did you collect 100 catties of tea?" ”
was a little hesitant to be asked by Li Tai's question, but Li Yuanjia's eyes quickly flashed, and he said with a smile: "First, those tea trees are planted late, and the manpower is not very sufficient, and there are not so many tea leaves harvested in a year; Second, since this year, I have asked people to send a lot of tea to the Turks and Tibet, to see if they drink this thing, so there is not much left. ”
Obviously surprised by these words, Li Tai was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Turkic and Tibetan? Where do those barbarians know how to appreciate this taste? I'm afraid Uncle Eleven is going to be disappointed. ”
He looked down on those barbarians from the bottom of his heart, and naturally did not believe that the Tibetans and Turks would like tea.
"Haha, it's just a try, it doesn't matter."
Laughing, Li Yuanjia casually confused this matter, and then said: "Since Xiaotai, you really like to drink tea, go back and make an appointment, I invite you to appreciate the real tea art once." ”
"Tea art? Is that what you gave your maid something to do? ”
Nodding, Li Yuanjia smiled: "It's almost the same meaning, but it's more elegant and perfect." And I've had people build some special utensils...... Hehe, when the time comes, you will naturally understand it at a glance. ”
"It's okay, the little nephew is waiting for Uncle Eleven to summon."
Although he didn't think so, Li Tai still smiled and nodded. He really likes to drink tea, but he is more interested in Li Yuanjia as a person, so he will naturally not refuse to have more contact with him.
After chatting for a while, Li Tai finally remembered the purpose of coming to Han Wangfu today, and quickly brought the topic back: "Uncle Eleven, the little nephew came here today mainly to ask, is there a follow-up after reading the six math books?" ”
"Done? What does it mean to read it? ”
Li Yuanjia's brain couldn't turn for a while, and he subconsciously asked a rhetorical question.
Smiling slightly, Li Tai said indifferently: "It means that the little nephew has completely learned the content of those six books, and now he wants to learn something deeper, I don't know if Uncle Eleven has it here?" ”
"Totally learned...... Completely learned?! ”
Li Yuanjia, who finally came back to his senses, suddenly widened his eyes this time, and stood up suddenly.
