The two people who went to take a bath didn't come back, and Li Zhi didn't appear at this time, so he came to Mrs. Yu's table.

Li Ying was anxious, and after seeing him return to show his eyes, he dropped his raised ass again.

Taiwei Yu was still thinking about tasting a pot of tea, and after complaining that he couldn't find the master for a long time, Li Zhi invited everyone with a smile: "I am going to prepare suitable water quality for you!" ”

The place where the Chaos Stone and Kwai Water were found in the front yard of Zhanyuan Pavilion was itself the place where the water source passed, and now it has been introduced into the inner courtyard and is specially used for Li Yi's family to drink.

At this time, it is a humble stream hidden in the grass of the garden in the inner courtyard, and if you think of it, a drop of decay water can keep the water excellent for a long time.

Li Zhi returned from refining the elixir and filled some with water so that it could be used to make tea at this time.

The stalactite tea sea place in the wine shop will not be occupied by the wine table, and in the storage room next to it, there is a storage place for various wine heads, which belongs to the secrets of the wine shop.

The outer room is a huge living room, which is usually used to sign large orders, and ordinary people cannot enter.

While everyone was arguing about the tea sea, Li Zhi had already ordered people to boil drinking water.

With the existence of his heavenly fire, in fact, a pot of boiling water is just a blink of an eye, and it can make the water natural and full of spirituality, but this is his secret, how can it be displayed publicly.

After a short time, the sparrow tongue mountain tea will overflow with bursts of fragrance, pieces of tender tea like a sparrow's tongue, the color is dark green, only the first flushing process, so that a kind of fragrance that is difficult to describe overflows the hall.

Everyone hurriedly found a seat and sat down, slightly closed their eyes, and let that wisp of elegant and clear fragrance fill the end of their noses, and when they opened their eyes again, everyone's expressions were surprisingly consistent, and they were all a little sluggish looking at the tea leaves slowly floating on the surface of the cup.

The mellow taste and golden color of the soup are the only thoughts in their hearts at this time, even if they don't know how to taste tea, they are intoxicated by a magical fragrance like body and mind.

Li Zhi smiled silently, although the mountain tea is precious, there is still a pot to take out for people to taste, and the future tea house will have to be spread through the mouths of these people.

It wasn't until the word "please" came out of his mouth that everyone suddenly woke up and hurriedly picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of them.

If you have never drunk it in your mouth, there is a natural and rich orchid fragrance on your face, as if it is a thousand-year-old charm, and the fragrance is refreshing.

"Good tea! Tea is drunk before the mouth, this is the quality of the best tea, and those similar teas that have been rescued are as subtle and restrained, but unique and pure. ”

Yu Taiwei's spirit was extremely refreshing for a while.

Fang Yu also sighed, "Today, outsiders need to indulge in wine when they sing songs to express their comfort, and we only need a pot, a tea, a clear heart, a clear soup, sweet taste, just like friendship, tea and love are really suitable." ”

Zi Yi pursed his lips and snickered: "Lord Huaitan just had a trace of tea sticking to his lips, and he spat out sour words!" ”

"You can't say that, Brother Huaitan has tasted more tea than you have eaten in your life for more than 30 years, and just a wisp of tea fragrance can make him taste all kinds of three flavors!" Mrs. Yu smiled slightly.

Fang Yu spoke again, "I once invited a foreigner to a banquet with the imperial court, and I heard people speak foreign language, but I didn't understand it, but I only stared at the Westerner and drank tea. Seeing that the next person added water to boil the tea leaves, this foreigner filtered out the tea juice, ate the tea alone, and smacked his tongue after eating: Good is good, but unfortunately bitter. ”

The hall was full of laughter, Li Zhi also likes to listen to these, and he found that the metaphor of being repeatedly humanized as a corrupt old-school style also has its vivid side.

"Occasionally funny, and not as old-fashioned as the legend, I'm afraid that only when he tastes the aroma of his favorite tea, will he be in a good mood." This is the wind and clouds, and he spit lightly in Li Zhi's ears.

Most of the people present were from the Hanlin Academy, they were well-informed, had high emotional intelligence, were familiar with the world, and were familiar with dealing with all kinds of people.

While weaving their own network, it is natural that their various insights will be unusually deep.

By the time the first cup of tea was entered, Fang Yu's eyes had already lit up, and he got up to salute Li Zhishen.

The next brew was being brewed, and Taiwei Yu asked, "Text, what is the original intention of you and Lao Ming Wang to start a tea house?" ”

Li Zhizheng said: "Let the tea gradually enter the homes of ordinary people from the inner courtyard of the palace!" Whether it is the court tea art, the religious tea art, the scribe tea art and the folk tea art, whether it is in the understanding of the connotation of tea art, or in the operation procedures have become mature, forming a variety of unique ways of drinking tea. Therefore, at the beginning of the opening of the tea house, it was necessary to cater to such people first, and the price was extremely high, so that the tea ceremony would be widely publicized through the mouths of such people. ”

"You don't think ordinary people can afford to participate?"

"The people are currently in the stage of solving the problem of food and clothing, no matter how cheap tea is, how many people are willing to pay silver? All trends are top-down, and the first thing to do is to make the tea drinking fashion popular at the top level, and then everyone will rush to it! But there is a premise, the national conditions are stable and the people's livelihood is rich, but if you really start it at that time, it will be too late, isn't it? ”

"But your method will only make the way of tasting tea tend to be high-end, which is far from the real folk customs, where will it finally be popularized?"

"This is the first stage, after the court tea and religious tea, it is the time for the rise of scribe tea! Chang'an brings together the celebrities and literati of the Tang Dynasty's tea industry, who hold tea parties, write tea poems, write tea essays, taste tea and discuss Taoism, and meet friends with tea, which will be the second stage. Because they will be the ones who make the trend evolve into a fashion, and then the tea can evolve from a realm, a way of self-cultivation, to a way of life. ”

Isn't this a misinterpretation of the original meaning of the tea ceremony? Regardless of the many procedures of tea art, it has been transformed into the simplest brewing, and the Qing and high times in the tea ceremony are unknown, and the drinking in the market is reduced to self-deception, which will be the result of your eventual popularization, do you think of these? ”

Undoubtedly, Mrs. Yu's questioning was getting sharper and sharper step by step.

Li Zhi said happily, "Taiwei Yu, it is you who are misinterpreting the essence of the problem!" And then what is the impact of the popularization and the real tea ceremony? Superb tea is not precious, because it is priceless, how many people can drink it? A copper plate and a pound of tea, you want him to strictly follow the sixteen steps of tea art, is it a joke? The essence of fashion is vassal elegance, how many people really intend to taste tea and talk about Taoism? In fact, this is just another way of life. ”

"And what about the realm you talked about before?" Taiwei Yu didn't seem to care, and Li Zhi's answer became stronger.

"There are always only three kinds of people who pay attention to the realm: those who can taste the new tea tributes from all over the world at any time; A person who is rich and rich; Zen tea and clear tea in the two gates of Buddhism. Because only they have access to the best tea, even the best tea! And the realm is a kind of extreme, in the plain to read profound, Si Yi Hong profound, self-contained high-level, inferior tea taste such as chewing leaves, can there be a realm of perception born? ”

"Hahaha..."

Taiwei Yu suddenly laughed loudly, "Mr. Li, I'm relieved to have you say this, old stubborn, can you hear it?" ”

He pointed to the metaphor.

Fang Yu smiled and explained to Li Zhi, "Before I came, there were people arguing about this matter, and I was one of them. I stubbornly think that the tea house opened by Mr. Li is imposing the tea ceremony on others, either simply seeking commercial purposes, or the idea of tea ceremony is too idealistic! Now listening to Mr. express his inner cognition, I find that everyone underestimates you, you have your persistence, but you have a sober and deep understanding of reality! ”

Zi Yi added, "Only Lord Taiwei is insisting on his own opinion: a person who can write the Tea Sutra is not the ideological realm of ordinary people!" ”

Mrs. Yu happily reminded: "Mr. Li, you only handed over the tea to the upper volume, when will the other two volumes be released?" ”

Li Zhi knows a lot about the number of people in their hearts, no one can escape his probe, he has all the psychological fluctuations of each person, how do you not know that this is testing himself.

The emotional changes in his previous dialogue are just in line with the development of the plot, because that is the natural reaction that a normal person should have.

Whether it is Taiwei Yu or Fang Yu, they are already old and strong people, and their too frank performance will only make them suspicious.

He replied with a smile, "The southern line, just the varieties that I have never seen before, have obtained more than a dozen kinds, and the tea monograph pays attention to a comprehensive cognition, and the original meaning of the tea book is lost if it is partial and comprehensive!" Next, I will fill in for this, and it is estimated that in more than a month, the whole part will be completed! ”

Fang Yu sighed, "I have read the first volume more than a dozen times, and Mr. Li's large amount of content on tea affairs, tea history, tea methods and tea production technology has indeed pushed tea affairs to a new level of cognition, and I have to accept it!" ”

Taiwei Yu looked back and smiled: "Brother Huaitan, that's just the first volume, and I'm looking forward to what kind of cognition the next two volumes will bring me!" ”

While a few people were talking, the wooden door outside sounded, and then a few people appeared around the screen, it was Qingqi and others headed by Princess Taiping.

Because everyone had already met him before, when Taiping came, he just smiled and nodded.

Then she turned to Li Zhiyan and said, "It turns out that Mr. Li is hiding here, no wonder he can't find it everywhere." Let's go, I have something important to talk to you! ”

Li Zhi apologized and returned to Zhanyuan Pavilion with everyone, where there was only a high wall and passage from the winery, and it was extremely cheap to come and go.

Everyone settled in the main hall, and Taiping spoke: "First of all, I apologize to Li Zhi, I grabbed two of the Zhuyan Pills you left for the ladies. ”

Li Zhi looked at the few people around him in confusion, and Qingqi nodded with a smile: "Go back and explain, you listen to the princess." ”

Taiping continued: "One of them I want to leave to the queen mother, together with Yishou Dan, just to move the family to Luoyang City, and some of them are to be handed over to Mr. Li." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please speak!" Seeing Taiping's solemn face, Li Zhi also put away his usual casualness.

"Originally, I was going to invite Mr. Li to accompany me, but I left you a few days to get together as soon as you returned from going out. Chang'an City is less than 800 miles away from Luoyang, and the family moved there, and it would not take three days to delay on the road. On the ninth and fifteenth days of the first lunar month today, we met in Shangyang Palace. ”

"I wonder what the princess wants me to do?"

"Don't pretend to be confused for me!" Taiping was solemn before he changed, and a smile appeared on his face, and his tone naturally relaxed.

Li Zhi knew in his heart that he was indeed pretending to be confused, and the purpose was to cause himself to be forced to go to Luoyang.

The martial queen is suspicious by nature, and she needs to be cautious and refined, otherwise she doesn't want to deceive the so-called Zhuyan Pill.

"Zhengqing Wenqitang opened a branch in Luoyang, but we negotiated it before!" Immediately after, Taiping's tone became urgent.

Seeing that this person showed his daily demeanor, Li Zhi immediately relaxed his body, leaned on the back of the chair, and Erlang's legs were also cocked.

"Branch!" He folded his arms and held his chin in one hand, making a contemplative gesture.

This is also normal, the establishment of a branch is extremely cumbersome, and it is not something that can be done.

And there is also a problem of personnel allocation, at present, the Zhengqing Wenqitang in Chang'an City is just on the right track, and the temporary transfer of manpower will only bring operational tension to the normal business order.
