Angel Duan Hong suddenly visited Su Ren, still accompanied by Liu An, which made Su Ren a little strange. Duan Hong came so blatantly, naturally he didn't have anything important to say, but what did he come for? Su Ren thought about it over and over in his head, but he still couldn't guess it.

The person had already arrived at the door, and Su Ren was still nesting on the bed, so he had to make up a reason to be winded. Pretending to cough a few times, Su Ren arched his hand to Duan Hong and King Huainan: "Let the two of you wait for a long time, and suddenly fall ill in the next few days, please take care of them." ”

When Liu An heard this, he immediately said: "Oh, I don't know that Mr. Su is sick, there is a lot of trouble, it doesn't matter, this king will order the medical officer of the palace to treat Mr." ”

Su Ren said: "It's okay, it's been better, but it's a little sleepy, thank you for your concern, I don't know what to do with the two of you today?" ”

Duan Hong smiled: "Is it possible that you can't come if you have nothing to do, Su Zhonglang's bitter tea is famous all over the world, is it good to come and ask for a cup of tea today?" ”

"Oh? Hehe! Su Ren laughed twice: "The king and the angel are to blame for not serving tea!" Come, take out the best tea leaves, cook them and let the king and the angels taste them. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu An and Duan Hong looked at each other and laughed loudly.

The tea was served quickly, and Liu An and Duan Hong really took a sip of tea slowly. Feel the taste every time you take a sip, and at the same time talk about your own experience, and comment on Su Ren's tea, as if you really came to taste tea.

The development of the tea ceremony originated very early, as early as ancient times, Chinese people had a hobby of drinking tea. The way tea is cooked has evolved over thousands of years. From the beginning of brewing with boiling water and drinking it as it is now, suddenly one day I don't know who put some ingredients in the tea soup, so all kinds of messy things are stuffed into it, so that in the Han Dynasty, the tea soup cooked in the Han Dynasty does not add various spices and spices, and it seems that it does not show the grade of the family.

Su Ren's tea can be said to be back to basics, reducing the bitterness of the tea soup, increasing the aroma of the tea and the original bitter and sweet taste. It can't be said that it is much progress, at least it can make Su Ren swallow.

It can't be said that it is wrong to add ingredients to the tea soup at the beginning, it can only be said that different people have different tastes in different periods. Until now, the butter tea of the Tibetan people and the brick tea of Qinghai still have to add various things to the tea soup, and they have not changed much for thousands of years.

Su Ren didn't have Yaxing to taste tea, he drank tea just to quench his thirst or a habit. In Dahan, there is no smoke and no high alcohol, only tea can remind Su Ren of where he came from, and it can keep him in the heart of a modern person. He didn't want to be assimilated by the Han Dynasty, at least not yet.

Putting down the tea bowl, Su Ren said: "What do you think of the bitter tea below?" They are all sent from Shu County, and they are not sold in ordinary stores. ”

"Good tea! Sure enough, it's good tea! The entrance is slightly bitter, the throat is extremely sweet, a sip of tea soup can make people taste the bitter and sweet taste, this is a gentleman's thing, but it is a pity that Su Zhonglang's bitter tea is too precious, ordinary people can not afford to drink. ”

"Since it is a gentleman's thing, how can it be compared with firewood, rice, oil and salt, and not every gentleman in the world has it, right?"

"Hahaha, Su Zhonglang has such a powerful mouth, he scolded both of us in one sentence!" Duan Hong turned his face and smiled at Liu An.

Liu An shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although Mr. Su loves tea, he may not be a gentleman. ”

"I never said that I was a gentleman, we are a layman, a vulgar person!" Su Ren stretched out his hand and began to count: "First, I love money, second, I also love sex, third, I still want to be a big official, fourth, I will never allow others to bully me, and the last one is a businessman, even if you want to be a gentleman, you can't do it!" The two are different, the king's status is noble, the angel is full of talent, and the two are genuine gentlemen, at least they have the potential of gentlemen. ”

Duan Hong said with a smile: "It's over, today's plan to eat is blocked by others again, as soon as Su Zhonglang says this, the two of us should get up and say goodbye." ”

Liu An laughed: "The food is the biggest, even a gentleman has to eat, I heard that Mr. Su made that kind of dough cake with meat is very good, can Mr. let us two gentlemen see and understand?" ”

There was laughter and laughter in the lobby, and the tense air outside the lobby was stagnant, Su Ren didn't know the purpose of Liu An and Duan Hong's visit, and the people outside didn't know even more. Han Qing guessed in his mind whether the matter of Yongxingdu was discovered by Liu An, and he came to ask Xingshi to ask for guilt. What Hou Yong thought was that the King of Huainan would take revenge and spread the anger of the King of Hengshan on Su Ren. Huang Shisan and Manniu were standing at the door, the two of them were draped all over their bodies, as long as Su Ren shouted inside, they would rush in and slash and kill.

The dough cake is the current steamed bun, there was no such name at that time, Su Ren followed the local customs and called the dough cake. Strictly speaking, Huainan is located north of the Yangtze River, and some wheat is planted near the Huai River. Because the yield of wheat is too low, the flour milled by the people is black and black, and it is the first time for Liu An to see a snow-white cake like Su Ren.

Looking at the bread in his hand, Liu An said: "Mr. Su, your white bread is not something that anyone can eat, I'm afraid I can't steam much bread in a year's harvest, right?" ”

Su Ren did not deny it: "A pound of wheat produces half a pound of white flour." ”

"Ahh It's also too ......."

"This kind of white flour cake should be used for the bread and meat, only the white flour cake is delicate and soft, after the meat is sandwiched, the fat of the meat is absorbed, and the mouth is fragrant, if you use the kind of bread that the people eat, it is hard and astringent, even if the meat is good, there is no good taste." Su Ren interrupted Duan Hong's emotion: "The king and the angel can rest assured, these things were all bought with money, and no money was given less." ”

"Ugh! Su Zhonglang's appetite made me wait for my knowledge! Duan Hong looked at the bread in his hand, the stewed meat in it was fragrant, and a bite of it made people want to open their mouths unconsciously, even if they felt a bit of a waste of food, they still couldn't help but bite into it.

The greasy fat of the fatty meat, the tenderness of the lean meat, and the soft dough cake, Duan Hong fell in love with this thing at once. Ignoring the fat left in the tiger's mouth, and not taking care of the greedy eating, a large bread disappeared in the blink of an eye. Liu An wants a lot of Sven, although the bread and meat taste are novel, but he strictly maintains the face of his princes and kings.

Su Ren didn't eat, he couldn't figure out the reason why these two people came, and wanted to find the answer from the faces of the two. But these two rice buckets seem to have come just to eat and drink, only to eat and drink, and there is no consciousness of the visitor at all. Duan Hong ate five, and Liu An also ate three, and then he stopped his mouth, and watched the servant take the empty plate down, with a posture that was still unfinished.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" a series of coughs pulled the two back. Duan Hong smiled awkwardly, and Liu An glanced to the side with some embarrassment.

"Two, you've eaten and drunk, now you can talk about business, right? You're making me sick like this. ”

After cleaning his hands in the basin brought by the servant, Duan Hong wiped his hands and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just to visit Su Zhonglang, and by the way, I will tell you what His Majesty asked me to bring to Su Zhonglang." ”

"Oh ......! In this way, I was scared into a cold sweat. ”

"What is Mr. Su afraid of?" Liu Anluo looked at Su Ren with interest.

Su Ren smiled: "I'm not afraid of anything?" One is the king of Huainan, the other is the angel of the court, suddenly visited, it was impossible not to be nervous, the angel brought a little, I will let people prepare incense cases, and ask the angel to pass the decree. ”

Duan Hong waved his hand: "No, Your Majesty said that these words are not a holy decree, just a greeting as a friend, Your Majesty please rest assured that everything is fine in Chang'an, and Your Majesty is particularly happy about what Su Zhonglang did in Lingnan this time, and at the same time I hope that Su Zhonglang can return to Chang'an as soon as possible, Your Majesty misses Su Zhonglang." ”

Liu An and Su Ren were both listening carefully to Duan Hong's words, and when Duan Hong finished speaking, neither of them reacted after a long time. Su Ren asked, "It's over?" ”

Duan Hong nodded: "It's over!" ”

Liu An was a little puzzled, and began to ponder the meaning of these words, but he racked his brains and didn't understand what the key was. Su Ren received Duan Hong's reply, and hurriedly got up and kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an: "Please tell Your Majesty when the angel goes back, Su Ren thanks Your Majesty for your concern, and when the matter is over, I will immediately rush back to Chang'an to visit Your Majesty." ”

"By all means!"

Liu An and Duan Hong got up to say goodbye, and Su Ren personally sent them outside the door. The three of them are polite, and the good ones are like friends. Seeing Duan Hong and King Huainan's carriage drive away, Han Qing and the others immediately came up and asked nonsense.

Su Ren dealt with two sentences casually, sent the rest of the people away, left Han Qing behind, and told Han Qing about today's abnormality from beginning to end. The two sat under the yew and pondered the meaning of Duan Hong's words. Like Liu An, he didn't understand the key.

Su Ren patted his head: "I don't want to, just assume that Duan Hong has taken the wrong medicine, if you want to say it, just make it clear, what is the matter in the clouds?" ”

Han Qing said: "Duan Hong must have something to say when he comes, it is estimated that it is difficult to say it in front of Liu An, but Liu An's performance is unexpected, and the dignified King of Huainan actually accompanies Duan Hong to wander around, which is intriguing!" ”

"This just shows a problem, the matter of Yongxingdu has left Liu An with nothing to do." Su Ren sat upright: "As soon as the matter of Yongxingdu came out, Liu An immediately convened everyone to discuss, and grounded Liu Qian, he had already decided that Liu Qian did it, and he was worried that Duan Hong would find out, so he deigned to accompany Duan Hong to hang out, as for Duan Hong?" I really don't know what he's here for. ”

"Duan Hong is loyal, maybe it's to reassure Liu An, so he goes around."

Su Ren shook his head: "I don't think so, how loyal people are also thoughtful, since they can jump from a diner in the marquis's mansion to a lieutenant in the imperial court, such a person can't go there even if he is loyal!" Su Ren's brows suddenly frowned: "Go, bring the cushion that Duan Hong sat on!" ”

The bull immediately turned around and went to the hall to get the mat. Han Qing was stunned: "What does Mr. think Duan Hong left behind?" ”

"It's not impossible! If there is anything left, you will know when you bring it up. ”

The bull quickly ran out of the lobby with a mat in one hand and a silk silk in the other. Su Ren's hanging heart finally relaxed, let out a long breath, and smiled at Han Qing: "Do you still think that Duan Hong is a good person?" ”
