Chapter 16 The fragrance of tea overflows

The weather in June was very hot, and when Li Chengqian rushed back to the East Palace with his escort, it was also noon.

This hot weather made his mouth unbearable, and as soon as Li Chengqian came, he shouted: "Someone! Serve tea! I'm dying of thirst! ”

In such a hot summer, it would be great if you could take a sip of green tea.

Tea was already very popular in the Tang Dynasty. As a man in two lives, he misses the sweet taste of tea very much.

It's not good to have this in the summer, and it would be better if he could eat some popsicles or something, but now he wants to drink green tea the most.

Li Chengqian picked up the fan and fanned it desperately, and the heat in his body was somewhat relieved.

He looked at the nearly 20,000 copper coins on the ground, and felt that these money were not enough, and he had to earn more.

At this time, Guan Lux trotted in, and when he saw the money on the ground, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, where did this money come from?"

They only had 5,000 yuan a month, and suddenly there were 20,000 more, which made Guan Lishi feel a little curious.

Li Chengqian did not answer directly, but said: "Take this money down and manage it well." What should be added quickly, I see that some things are old, and there are some delicious things for the people in our East Palace, look at them one by one. ”

This is a rich and rich way of living, and if you don't have money, you can only live with your mouth and your pants.

Li Chengqian has never been a miser, and he doesn't spend money if he has it, that's really stupid.

Guan Lishi immediately showed a smile on his face, for a period of time, as the steward eunuch of the East Palace, he can be said to be annoyed, because there is so much money in a month, he sometimes wants to spend a penny as two pennies, but now it is good, Li Chengqian has got so much money, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

He doesn't ask where the money comes from, after all, where the money comes from really doesn't matter, the important thing is that it can be spent!

Just then, a little maid brought the tea.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Please drink tea! ”

Li Chengqian, who was thirsty, grabbed the cup and drank it all.

A strange feeling came out of his mouth, a very uncomfortable feeling.

I bah......

Drinking this cup of strong tea, he directly spit it out, spraying the entire floor with tea.

Because the taste is so strange, and the tea is very thick, like eating mush.

Also, there is some strange smell in it.

He finally understood why, in the Tang Dynasty, tea was not brewed and drunk, and there were three commonly used ways to drink tea, namely "sencha", "ancha" and "boiled tea".

"Sencha" uses cake tea, the cake tea is roasted on the fire to "red", cut and crushed, and then filtered out the tea powder through the basket to boil in water, and finally add green onions, ginger, jujubes, orange peel, dogwood, mint, Wu salt and other strange seasonings, and drink it with the soup and juice after frying.

There are so many things in this tea, and the original things of the tea have been lost, which is not in line with Li Chengqian's drinking method! And not only could the tea quench his thirst, but after drinking it, he wanted to drink it even more.

This is simply a desecration of the way tea is drunk, tea is not drunk like this.

His behavior obviously frightened the little palace maid.

Seeing Li Chengqian like this, she hurriedly knelt down and didn't dare to get up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life!"

Guan Lux yelled, "What are you doing? What did you bring to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink? ”

"Guan Lux, no! It's freshly brewed tea! Freshly cooked ......"

"Bold! Dare to quibble! ”

Guan Lux has to raise his hand and fight down.

scared the little maid a lot.

"Pipe Lux! Stop it! ”

Li Chengqian shouted at this time, and Guan Lishi withdrew his hand.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I just don't like the taste of this tea, it's none of her business! Let's go! ”

If the little palace maid received amnesty, her head was bowed, and she wiped the tea on the ground with her sleeve, but at this time, a pair of tender white hands stood in front of her.

It was Li Chengqian, he said with a smile on his face: "Don't use your sleeves, go get a rag and wipe it clean." ”

He spoke very gently, and the little palace maid was stunned when she heard it.

She had the feeling that she was not facing an eight-year-old child, but a teenager in his early twenties, with that kind of warm gaze and smile......

Guan Lux shouted: "Don't go yet!" ”

This made the little palace maid respond again and again, and got up to prepare.

"Pipe Lux!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince! I'm here! ”

"You go buy some fresh tea and come back, you don't need too much, 1000 catties is enough!"

Li Chengqian already has a new idea, life needs a sense of ritual, what he wants to drink, do it himself.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you need these teas for? The tea has to be roasted before it can be eaten, or I'll ask the people below to get you some new tea. ”

"Don't worry so much, go ahead!"

Guan Lux didn't dare to ask more, there were some things they didn't have to know.

"Yes!"

Now that I have the money, I can let Guan Lux go and buy some fresh tea leaves.

The tea leaves of the Tang Dynasty were not the same as those of his time. Now the mellow aroma of tea, especially green tea, he still has an endless aftertaste, he once followed his grandfather to make some tea, for green tea is very familiar.

So he had a bold idea.

Make tea! Sell tea! This is another good opportunity to make money, maybe not only 20,000 yuan, but more than 100,000 is possible.

Guan Lux was about to leave, and Li Chengqian thought of something again. Called him back.

"The tea I want is to be young, not too old!"

The quality must be guaranteed in order to sell at a high price.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, I'll go and prepare!"

"Wait!"

Guan Lux was called back and forth several times.

But don't dare to show annoyance.

"Invite three tea masters!"

"Yes!"

This time, he didn't call Guan Lishi anymore, and Guan Lishi let people leave the present with the 20,000 Wen on the ground.

With Li Chengqian's current situation, he can't make tea at all, because he is only eight years old at the moment, and his strength is completely lacking, so he called a few experienced people to come over, and he will teach them how to make green tea.

The Guan Lux went down to arrange, and the speed of money was much faster, and in the afternoon, Guan Lux brought 1,000 catties of tender tea.

Li Chengqian had already taught three tea making masters and began to get busy.

Green tea, unlike black tea, doesn't have to be fermented at all, it's just roasted, and it's quick.

Therefore, that night, under his teaching, a large number of tea fragrances surrounded the entire East Palace.

That kind of fragrance floated directly far away, needless to say, Li Shimin must have smelled it, and when Li Chengqian realized it, it was already too late.
