Chapter 56, but drinking a cup of tea, can be praised as a fairy
Guang'an and the others had already run to the side when they saw Feng Daiwen coming, but they were embarrassed to come forward, and when they heard Li Shimin's ridicule, they stood there with a red face.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it's been a long time to take us to your place to eat delicious food" Changle looked up at Feng Daiwen with a look of anticipation:
"Yes, yes, brother-in-law take us to your place to play, every day my father and the emperor let us study and write with our eldest brother, and no one accompanies us to practice martial arts, you see I'm fat again, and my cousin always calls me a little fat man" Li Tai said angrily:
"You are embarrassed to say, people call you a little fat man, you beat people so much that you can't get out of bed for three days, and you haven't been to the Guozijian for half a month" Li Ke said:
"Hmph, it's not like I've been grounded by my father for three days," Li Tai snorted and said:
A group of small people chattered around the two of them, Feng Daiwen and Guang'an looked at each other and smiled, and led a group of people towards the tea garden.
"The fourth brother beat Cousin Chong, who is the child of the eldest grandson's uncle," Guang'an whispered to Feng Daiwen:
"Children, it's normal to fight, I used to fight with other children when I was a child" Feng Daiwen said to Guang'an with a smile:
"Cousin Chong is 17 years old," Guang'an naughtily stuck out his tongue to:
"Cough, cough," Feng Daiwen almost choked on his own saliva, a 17-year-old was beaten by an 8-year-old child and couldn't get out of bed, it is estimated that he didn't have the face to see the talent for half a month. It can also be seen that Li Tai practiced well, so Li Shimin only locked him up for three days, and he was probably still very happy.
"Giggles, giggles," Yu Zhang, Changle couldn't help but giggle when he saw Feng Daiwen being choked and heard the conversation between the two.
"Brother-in-law, can you take us to your place to play," Yu Zhang and Changle said coquettishly while pulling Feng Daiwen's arm:
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and prepare for a few days, I'm inviting you to play" Feng Daiwen hurriedly agreed: No, no, my hands are about to break, I am saying that Feng Daiwen also likes this group of small ones, maybe they are still young and have no bad problems with being pampered,
"Okay, okay, we don't have to go to class in three days, let's go together, okay sister" Changle pulled Guang'an sideways:
"Okay" Guang'an secretly looked at Feng Daiwen, who had been looking at him and smiling, and agreed in a low voice:
The imperial garden is very large, composed of different courtyards collectively referred to as the imperial garden, a group of people went to the tea garden, passing by a courtyard when they saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs planting, the white things on the side are a little familiar, Feng Daiwen based on watching,
"That's planting white stacks, the flowers have many colors, but after the flowers wither, the fruits will be separated, and the yard is white like flowers, and it is said that the white stacked cloth is made of this, and only the people of the Western Regions will," Guang'an explained to Feng Daiwen in detail:
"Bai Diezi, I'm going, isn't this cotton?" This is a good thing, I didn't expect it to be available now, Feng Daiwen stepped forward and took a closer look, the white silk-like thing connected to the seeds, no wonder it was very familiar,
"Let's go, let's go pick tea first, and then get this white stack, this is a good thing," Feng Daiwen hurriedly urged everyone to speed up their pace,
When I arrived at the tea garden, I don't know how many years the tea trees were, there were several particularly huge, and it took an adult's arms to hold so thick, they were all as high as two floors, and the smallest ones were 4,5 meters high, and the pruning was good, Feng Daiwen looked at these tea trees dumbfounded, it is difficult to see such a thick tea tree in modern times, and a few trees that are said to be thousands of years old are also similar to this.
"These large tea trees are said to have been planted in Chang'an by the Taoist priest of Zhongnan Mountain, who entered the palace for alchemy during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the others were also planted in various places in the previous dynasties," Guang'an explained to Feng Daiwen one by one:
"The princess knows so much" Feng Daiwen looked at Guang'an with a surprised look and sighed:
"That is, the eldest sister loves to read books when she has nothing to do, and she has read a lot of books in the palace" Yu Zhang said proudly: It's like saying that you are happy, this is a treasure.
"There, it's just that I'm bored in the palace, I like to read those books that are recorded in various ways, just like reading a story" Guang'an lowered his head shyly and whispered:
Feng Daiwen ordered people to start picking, all picking this year's new sprouts, now just the beginning of May, it is a good time to pick tea, although it is not as good as before the Qingming Dynasty, but it is also spring tea, not to mention that I still don't know how many years of ancient tea, this is a more expensive thing than gold in later generations, I have eaten there before, and I have never seen it. Rao is Feng Daiwen's current heart is also excited and inexplicable,
Half an hour later, Feng Daiwen saw that there were more than 5 catties of tea leaves, so he hurriedly put them away, let the others continue to pick, and went to the imperial dining room with the tea leaves.
"Brother-in-law, is this to get us something to eat? Can tea also be boiled and eaten? Li Tai, a snack and fat man, asked happily:
"Well, I'll get you a delicious one, you guys are waiting here," Feng Daiwen thought of the world-famous snack in the future, tea and eggs!!
Entering the imperial dining room, Feng Daiwen called people to make fire, poured a small part of the tea leaves into a large pot, as the temperature rose, he kept stir-frying with his hands, slowly drying the water, and letting it be evenly heated.
I grabbed a little with my hand and put it in the bowl, picked up the boiling water that made people boil first, and washed it down, watched the tea leaves curled in the bowl slowly unfolded, smelled closely, a fragrance came to my nose, and carefully drank a small sip in my mouth, slightly bitter, swallowed into the stomach with a sweet and slightly bitter taste down the throat, with a sweet back sweetness, and the faint taste in the teeth that I just drank, it is really fragrant to the teeth, and it is much better than the red bottles in later generations.
"Haha, it worked" Feng Daiwen laughed happily:
"What succeeded, is the tea boiled? Delicious not brother-in-law? Li Tai ran in and asked:
"I know how to eat, and I have to wait to eat" Feng Daiwen was in a happy mood, and gently knocked Li Tai's head and smiled: Then Feng Daiwen asked people to throw eggs into the boiling water, and wrapped a handful of tea leaves in a cloth and threw them into the water. Let the chef of Yushangfang, who has been watching him make it, continue to fry the tea, and leave with the fried tea leaves.
"Let's go, I'll send something to eat later" Feng Daiwen said to a few novels:
"Haha, Wei Guozhen thought you ran away without anything interesting," Li Yuan quipped when he saw Feng Daiwen coming back:
"There, isn't it interesting to prepare for the imperial grandfather, so it took a little longer, come to the imperial grandfather, the emperor, you can taste the fried tea that Erchen just made" Feng Daiwen greeted everyone with a smile:
"Tea, what kind of good tea will you make, let me tell you, this tea, it is still the best to cook it yourself and your own appetite" Li Yuan was angry:
"Oh, Grandpa Huang, my tea is different, it's not for boiling," Feng Daiwen said: After speaking, he asked someone to put a few white porcelain bowls, put a little tea in each bowl, and flush it into the bowl with the water that was just boiled.
"Come to Grandpa Huang to try it," Feng Daiwen took the lead in taking a sip of a bowl.
"That's it? Nothing? Li Yuan asked suspiciously:
"Well, yes, good tea, this is really good tea," Li Shimin believed in Feng Daiwen very much, learned to take a sip, waited for a while, and couldn't help but praise loudly:
"Well, it's really good, it's a little bitter in the mouth at first, its taste is sweet, the mouth is fragrant, the tongue is full of relish, it's really good tea, it turns out that the tea should be made and drunk like this, not boiled, and the tea that I drank for decades before was drunk in vain" Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh after tasting it:
"In fact, this is good tea, because it is made in a hurry, so it is not a good tea, it is said that the tea picked before the Qingming Festival is better, the old way said that tea is also very important, and the water for brewing tea should be the best just opened, Erchen does not understand these, and he can't drink it, but he is not used to boiling tea" Feng Daiwen said embarrassedly:
"Waste, it's a complete waste for you to drink, well, this tea is really interesting, just when you are filial to the emperor's grandfather,,, someone will put it away" Li Yuan said while asking someone to put away the tea leaves brought by Feng Daiwen:
At this time, the tea eggs boiled by Yushangfang were also delivered
"Come, let's try it, this tea boiled egg also has a unique flavor" Feng Daiwen hurriedly distributed the eggs to everyone;
Everyone drank tea before, and when they heard that this was a fried tea boiled egg, one person took one and tasted it.
"Yes, a fresh fragrance of tea leaves, refreshing to eat, very appetizing," the eldest grandson tasted:
"It's really good," the elderly Wan Guifei usually has a bad appetite, and she also finished eating one. As for the other little guys, they had already started to eat the second one, and after a while, a large pot of tea eggs was eaten, and some people cried out that they still wanted to eat it.
"According to the old Taoist priest, in fact, this tea has many effects, cleansing the intestines, eliminating appetite, and treating dysentery," Feng Daiwen said:
"Can it cure dysentery? It's true!! Li Shimin and Li Yuan were shocked at the same time, you must know that diarrhea in ancient times was to kill people, especially many poor people could not afford to see a doctor, but tea was cheap.
"I don't know this specifically, but I can let the imperial doctor study it," Feng Daiwen said:
"That's true," Li Shimin nodded;
"However, although this tea is good, there are two taboos, one is that it is best not to drink tea on an empty stomach, which is not good for the stomach, and the other is that it is not suitable to drink before going to bed, and it is not easy to fall asleep" Feng Daiwen said:
"Wei Guo, this fried tea can be easily imitated" The eldest grandson asked:
"Niangniang, this thing is easy to imitate, but it is not easy to do a good job, pick it down to be in the shade for a few days, and then fry to remove the moisture, and then dry, Chen is fried directly today, so the taste is not the best" Feng Daiwen returned:
"Well, since Wei Guo has already called the imperial grandfather, why is he still called Bengong Niangniang, you see, this palace is worried about Guang'an's dowry next year," the eldest grandson pretended to be displeased:
"Well, Erchen is willing to dedicate the production method, hand it over to the queen mother, and promote it by the royal production, benefiting all the people, after a few years, everyone has adapted to the public production is not too late, I don't know what the queen mother thinks" Feng Daiwen twitched the corner of his mouth and said:
"Good boy, Guang'an just said, in three days, take all the younger brothers and sisters to your house to recognize the door, you have to entertain this group of younger brothers and sisters, but you are still young, don't make a fuss about embarrassing the saint" The eldest grandson said happily:
Feng Daiwen is full of black lines, what is embarrassed, although Guang'an is mature, but after all, he is only 15, so he has to answer.
