The two horses were fully saddled, and although they were not of the highest order, they were not cheap. Xu Qilin looked at the size and appearance of these two horses, which could be regarded as "Mercedes-Benz" and "Audi", and he was very happy in his heart.

Full of wine and food, Xu Qilin didn't go to work in Dayingku, and took a nap first. After getting up and washing up for a while, I went to the stables in the backyard to deepen my relationship with "Mercedes-Benz" and "Audi".

The horses in the house took good care of the good forage, and added two large handfuls of black beans. Seeing Xu Qilin coming, he accompanied him attentively, and praised these two good horses.

Xu Qilin listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time. He walked to the stable, began to look closely, and then reached out to touch the horse's head.

A living person approached, and although the horse did not stop grazing, his head tilted, and he seemed to be looking at Xu Qilin. Then, the horse pricked up his ears, let out a breath, flashed his head, dodged Xu Qilin's hand, and bared his teeth at him.

"Hehe, don't let me touch it yet, it seems to be angry!" Xu Qilin withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Show your teeth, do you want to bite me?" ”

"It's angry, but it's not enough to bite." Ma Ling was very familiar with the expression of the horse, and said on the side: "Ma Tong human nature, they will also be expressed through this, this, different actions. When Ah Lang got acquainted with it, he knew what they wanted and what they didn't want to do. ”

Xu Qilin nodded, deeply convinced. Animals also have their own thoughts, of course, which are expressed through expressions and body language. It's okay to say to the same kind, but only those who are familiar with it can understand.

"Alang, look at its ears." Ma Ling stretched out his hand and pointed, "Falling down towards his back, and showing his teeth again, indicating anger; If you are sick or uncomfortable, your ears will fall backwards and your eyes will look dull. ”

Xu Qilin said with a smile: "It turns out that there is so much knowledge in riding a horse, it is really a long insight." Well, I'm not in a hurry to ride it, I'll come over and feed it if I have time, or take it for a walk. ”

Ma Ling agreed, and said, "When you arrive in a new place, it is better for the docile horse to let it get used to it." Since Ah Lang is riding, the time required is not too long, a few days is about the same. ”

At that time, there were several types of horses according to their use. In addition to war horses, there are walking horses, playing horses, dancing horses, etc.

Walking horses are easy to understand, that is, they are for riding, but there are also tall and short differences. The dwarf horse, also known as the "fruit horse", is about three feet tall and "can be taken down the fruit tree". During the spring outing, it is common for the noble and young people to ride the "fruit off the horse" and "come and go under the flowers and trees".

Playing horses are specially trained to play polo, and dancing horses are horses that can dance, and it is said that Tang Xuanzong was the most enthusiastic about dancing horse performances.

The two horses Xu Qilin got belonged to war horses, but there was no possibility of galloping on the battlefield. If it's only for riding, of course, you don't need any special training.

Xu Qilin said yes with his jaw, and shook in front of the two horses for a while, then turned back to his small courtyard.

Sitting at the desk, Xu Qilin rubbed for a long time before he sighed helplessly, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write and speak.

That's right, it's a book and a story. For the development of tea production, for the health of the people of Datang, and for the sake of one more commodity for cattle and horses, Xu Qilin wanted to let the "Book of Tea" come out early.

Before the Tang Dynasty, tea was mostly used for medicinal purposes, and only a few areas used tea as a drink.

Since Lu Yu wrote the "Book of Tea", tea has become the main drink of Chinese folk, so it flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and the style of drinking tea was also popularized in the north and south of the river, and tea drinking and tea tasting became an important part of Chinese culture.

And "The Book of Tea" can be regarded as an agricultural book, or an encyclopedia about tea. The history, origin, efficacy, cultivation, harvesting, decoction, and drinking knowledge and technology of tea are all in it, so that tea production has a relatively complete scientific basis since then.

What Xu Qilin values most is this, and it is also based on the thinking of later generations. Like planting, cultivating, harvesting, processing, and drinking, you have to form a standard in order to promote and develop, and to benefit thousands of tea farmers and tea merchants.

After the soul was detained, Xu Qilin put pen to paper, and wrote the first volume of "The Book of Tea" in half an hour. The entire "Book of Tea" is divided into three volumes, with more than 7,000 words, and Xu Qilin is equivalent to writing one-third.

After stopping his pen for a while, Xu Qilin read it again and felt that there were some things that needed to be changed, and some more content could be added.

For example, the tea of the Song Dynasty, brewed after the Yuan and Ming dynasties, is easier to operate than boiling tea, and it also has the original taste of tea than boiling tea.

Another example is fried tea, which refers to the process of rapid evaporation of tea water through manual kneading in the pot, blocking the process of tea fermentation, and completely retaining the essence of tea juice, which can be called a big leap in the history of tea making.

Green tea is delicious and healthy, and it also prevents cancer! Xu Qilin thought of writing it, and then retouched and perfected it later.

And if you want to promote tea drinking, in addition to the "Book of Tea", you still have to use His Majesty Li Er. After all, the court was the highest level of feudal society, the benchmark of fashion civilization, and the center of cultural and ideological dissemination.

When the emperor pays attention to the way of drinking tea, the ministers will follow suit, which is called good at the top, and must be done at the bottom. From top to bottom, it is logical that tea drinking is popular in society.

Well, it's not difficult to make money for tea, and let His Majesty Li Er drink tea and taste tea. What's more, getting a health tea or something is also good for the body.

Xu Qilin wrote while thinking about it, sprinkled and messy, which was already a big article. Until with crisp laughter, Xiao Zhao came back from the palace and ran to him happily.

"Why are you so happy?" Xu Qilin put down the pen, hugged the girl to his lap with a smile, took the silk handkerchief handed by Scarlett, and wiped the sweat beads on Xiao Zhao's forehead.

Xiao Zhao giggled and showed the jade bracelet on his wrist to his brother, "It's good-looking, it's very valuable." ”

"Sister sent you?" Xu Qilin said disapprerovantly: "I asked for leave with my sister, seeing how happy you are, I guess you agreed, right?" ”

Xiao Zhao smiled and nodded his little head and said, "Sister gave me five days off and allowed me to go to Zhuangzi to live for a while." Hehe, but this bracelet was given by His Royal Highness King Jin, and he also knew that I was going to have a birthday! ”

King Li Zhi of Jin?! Xu Qilin's face sank and he snorted. Damn, you want to please my sister, phew, get out.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhao didn't know why, looking at his brother's displeased expression, he asked suspiciously: "My brother doesn't like His Royal Highness King Jin?" ”

It's not that I don't like it, but I don't like it quite a bit, or even hate it.

Li Zhi is not as famous as his father in history, nor is he as famous as his wife Wu Zetian, and he has almost no sense of existence. But in fact, this black-bellied and ruthless guy is by no means as cowardly as people imagine.

On the contrary, Li Zhi is not only not cowardly and incompetent, but on the contrary, cold-blooded, cruel, and ruthless.
