Chapter 17 was put on the table

The three of them were busy until the early hours of the next morning.

The tea made was fragrant, and it soon spread throughout the East Palace.

Such a fragrance is very rare.

The scent of green tea is very special, which makes people in the vicinity come closer and want to find out. And, this time, it alarmed some people.

The 1,000 catties of fresh tea can make at least 200 catties of tea.

These 200 catties of tea are enough for him to brew for a long time.

When all the tea leaves were ready, Li Chengqian found some equipment that could make tea from the East Palace, and sure enough, he really found a set, although it was not as good as the modern one, but it was always brewed. Life has to be a little ritualistic, otherwise this day will be in vain.

But it is no coincidence that the water has just been boiled, but an uninvited guest has arrived.

"Guanyin, the smell last night made it difficult for me to sleep, but I don't want to be even stronger today!"

"Second brother, there may not be anything you want in this East Palace, I think we should go somewhere else!"

"I've let people see other places, I rushed over in the morning, and it must be in the East Palace."

At this time, Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian not far away, and asked:

"Isn't that clever? What is he doing sitting there? ”

"It's Gao Ming, why didn't this kid go to see the prince and master, what did he stay in the East Palace for!?"

Empress Eldest Sun said with some reproach.

Li Shimin seemed to smell something, and hurriedly said: "The fragrance is coming from Gao Ming." ”

Li Shimin quickened his pace, it turned out that the couple was attracted by the fragrance of tea yesterday, and they also asked people to check, but they couldn't find out why, because Li Chengqian put this tea-making location in the depths, and it was the prince's bedroom, and no one dared to come over, so they missed it here.

The two arrived in front of Li Chengqian, and he immediately saluted.

"Father, Auntie! How do you ......? ”

Li Shimin didn't think of blaming Li Chengqian, but asked, "Gao Ming, what is in your hand?" ”

"Father, Auntie, this is green tea!"

"Green tea? Tea? ”

In Li Shimin's eyes, shouldn't tea be mixed with a lot of salt, ginger and pepper? He looked around, and there was only tea left except boiling water and a tea set.

"This tea is an elegant way, you know the tea ceremony?"

Li Shimin was stunned, his son looked good, and it seemed that there was really such a thing.

"Father, Gao Ming understands a little, understands a little."

"Where do you know?"

"Gao Ming learned from an ancient book given to me by Master Li yesterday that he specially studied the tea ceremony here with the consent of Master Li today. That's why I didn't go to Master Li for advice. ”

He didn't dare to say that he would do it himself, so he put the responsibility on Li Gang. And also perfectly explained why he didn't go to class.

This is good, Li Shimin actually believed it.

blamed himself for being too blatant, if he went to another place to fry tea, maybe it wouldn't have attracted the appearance of the two couples.

Li Shimin is notoriously fine, if he catches something, he has to make himself uncomfortable.

Having said that, if it comes to the tea ceremony, he may know a little better than everyone here, and there is no problem at all in beating this group of turtles in the Tang Dynasty.

When Empress Changsun saw Li Chengqian fiddling with the tea set in his hand, she said, "Second brother, I want to see how Gao Ming cooks tea?" ”

"I also want to see what the so-called tea ceremony in the ancient books is!"

Li Shimin is also full of curiosity.

"Father, Auntie, wait a minute, I'll start now!"

Li Chengqian began to boil the water in a good way, and took out some tea leaves, which were green, very different from Datang tea.

He used a relatively rudimentary set of tea sets.

Li Shimin chatted with Empress Changsun, recalling the past, and soon the water boiled.

Li Chengqian began to wash tea sets, teacups, wash tea, and make tea, all in one go, and the action was very pleasing to the eye.

Let the two of them feel that there are really two or three times, this kind of posture has not been practiced a few times, I am afraid it is very difficult to achieve such proficiency.

Soon, Li Chengqian made tea.

"The tea is ready, please taste it for my father and mother."

Li Chengqian poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun each.

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Chengqian suspiciously, and said, "My son, don't put ginger, onions, garlic, or mutton fat in tea?" Is this really what the ancient books say? ”

Li Shimin also nodded, deeply convinced.

Just now they watched Li Chengqian make tea, although the action was pleasing to the eye, but seeing that he actually made a pot of tea, without boiling, without putting ginger, onions and garlic, they wondered.

"The way of boiling tea, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, all kinds of flavors in life."

To boil tea, you should put ginger, onions, garlic and other things, how to put it, how much to put it is also particular, this is the tea ceremony of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian said: "Tea ceremony, etiquette, father, don't you think that my action of making tea is very reasonable?" ”

When he said this, Li Shimin and both of them felt polite.

"Second brother, why don't we drink it first."

After Empress Changsun finished speaking, Li Shimin drank the tea in the cup.

When the tea of green tea enters the throat, it has a slight bitter taste at first, but it quickly returns sweetness and leaves a fragrance in the mouth.

Li Shimin's expression became surprised.

"This tea is good! What a thirst quenching! Another drink. ”

"I'll have another drink too!"

Li Chengqian filled the two of them again, and he was proud.

This time they tasted it carefully, and only felt that the color of this tea soup was tender and green, sweet and fragrant like orchid, and the tea water entered the throat, fragrant and mellow.

"Sure enough, it's good tea! My decades of tea are in vain. Li Shimin exclaimed.

It turns out that this is the tea ceremony.

Li Chengqian pretended to be very forced at this time and said: "The road is simple, abandon all redundancy, this is the tea ceremony." ”

"Li Gang's ancient books are really good!"

And the eldest grandson didn't pay much attention to it, and drank tea beautifully.

"Gao Ming, I'm afraid this tea cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Chengqian said casually: "It didn't cost much, just more than a thousand yuan!" ”

"More than a thousand texts, indispensable! It seems that the life of this East Palace is good. I still have the money to buy tea to make tea! ”

"Father... This..."

"My son is smart, it seems that 5,000 a month is still too much, and 2,000 will be reduced in a month in the future! Three thousand should be enough, you should understand my mood, at this time you should study more, instead of tinkering with these nonsense, I am afraid that I will waste my studies, and in the future, Datang will still be the Datang of your young people......"

Suddenly, as soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Chengqian was speechless for a while. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Chengqian was put on the table, and he really didn't think that Li Shimin would do this.

Because Li Shimin understands that tea is not cheap, Li Chengqian earns 5,000 a month. But he doesn't have much money to buy tea, unless he usually saves private money......

If it is private money, then he can also give the prince less money, and take out the money from it to plug the gap, what is the financial tension of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father, it's not like that! I ......"
