Chapter 48 Stir-fried Tea

"Change the pot!" Cheng Bingjin yelled and changed to a small wok. Cheng Yanjin said to the chef: "Attention, at the beginning, the heat is a little stronger, you just rotate the iron pot vigorously and let the tea leaves." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes! Be! The chef nodded, slightly nervously watching as he poured the tea leaves into the iron pot. Begin! Lao Cheng gave an order, and the chef began to quickly rotate the iron pot in his hand.

Seeing that the blades were slightly curled up and shiny, Lao Cheng hurriedly asked him to reduce the flames, and then continued to rotate; After another period of time, the leaves began to dry, and Lao Cheng Ran changed to low heat, slowly stirring and stirring.

At this time, a burst of fragrance permeated the courtyard, and everyone sniffed vigorously and smelled the refreshing aroma.

Wait until the tea leaves are completely curled up and dried; Lao Cheng asked the cook to stop; Then he said to Cheng Taigong: "Go and get the paper!" ”

Cheng Taigong hurriedly ran in and took out a few pieces of fine bamboo paper; Lao Cheng unhurriedly wrapped most of the fried tea leaves and carried them in his arms. Then he said, "Bring boiling water, and I'll invite everyone to tea!" As he spoke, he pinched a handful of the remaining tea leaves and put them in the pot.

The hot water was poured in, and everyone gathered around to look carefully, and saw that the tea leaves were slowly stretching in the pot, and soon a fragrance rushed to everyone's nostrils.

"Tea, tea!" Lao Cheng gave everyone a cup, and then refilled a pot of water. Everyone held the teacup, didn't care about the heat, and took a sip gently.

The entrance of the tea was a little bitter at first, and then a strong aroma filled everyone's mouth; Drink it all in one gulp.

"Good tea! Fragrant! Good! Du Ruhui and Cheng Taigong didn't close their eyes, shaking their heads and sighing; Qin Qiong, Kan Ling, and Sheng Yanshi hurriedly took another sip without speaking. Liang Shitai and Luo Shixin's eyes widened and said, "What is there to drink, bitter." ”

Lao Cheng also tasted it, it was not as delicious as the tea he drank in later generations, and it tasted slightly burnt; I think I haven't mastered my own heat yet; However, when you drink it in one sip, it is full of fragrance and has an endless aftertaste.

Soon everyone drank the pot of water, and after brewing it three or four times, it was a little bland and tasteless; Everyone's eyes were on the tea leaves in Lao Cheng's arms again.

Lao Cheng pretended to cough twice and said, "Taigong, do you think that if I do this, how does this tea taste better than before?" Cheng Taigong hurriedly said: "Good, good, endless aftertaste!" It's better than before. ”

Lao Cheng said with a smile: "Taigong, this method of roasting tea is my originality; There is only one in the world, and there is no semicolon! You have a wide range of people, not only do you know the county order, but even the tea merchants. If we buy tea from a tea merchant and sell it after processing, do you think we can make money? ”

Cheng Taigong's eyes lit up and said, "Yes! How could I not have thought of it? It's sure to make money! It's still a big profit! ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you; Remember that things are still expensive, and the quantity will inevitably be less at first; When the price goes up, it is slowly increasing. There is also a workshop for roasting tea in Liangshan, and this method of roasting tea should be kept strictly secret! ”

"Yes! Be! Cheng Taigong hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Cheng Yanjin and everyone left the Taigong's house, and immediately took the two old people to Liangshan in the name of playing in Liangshan.

This is the first time Qin Qiong has been to Liangshan, everything here shocked him, he didn't expect that this brother who bites gold already has such a big foundation.

Looking at Liangshan Xiangyong's training again, he felt that these people were much better than the elite soldiers under his command, at least the spirit on their bodies, he had never seen it in other troops.

Although there are only more than 1,000 people, as long as there is enough food, even ten or dozens of times as many officers and men will not be able to take advantage of it. It can be said that her mother lives here without fail, and Qin Qiong finally made up her mind.

After dinner, Cheng Yanjin did not follow them to enjoy the night view, but pulled his mother to sit down. Mo Shi glanced at him and said, "Say it! What's the matter? You are my child, can you hide something from me? ”

Lao Cheng smiled and said today's events; After hearing this, Mo Shi suddenly smiled and asked, "Son, why did you say that the third lady of the Sun County Order sent you a warning letter; Isn't she interesting to you? ”

Lao Cheng hurriedly said: "Mother, this can't be nonsense; What is the background of the people, what is our identity; Can people take a fancy to us? Besides, we've seen each other so many times in total, I can't remember what she looks like. Can people remember you stupid son? ”

Cheng Mu glared and said, "What identity?" She is just the daughter of a county order, and your father was still the governor of Qi County in Northern Qi back then? Why can't you deserve her? Besides, what's wrong with my son? My son is the greatest son in the world! ”

Lao Cheng smiled and said, "Mother, that's what you say about your son." So you don't object to me following Second Brother Qin to Goguryeo? ”

Cheng's mother shook her head and said, "Son, go!" You men should go out and have a try! I can't stop you, and I can't stop you. But you have to remember that no matter how high you fly in the future, you can't forget this home. ”

Cheng bit the golden circles and his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly agreed with tears. Cheng's mother said again: "Also, Erya was raised by me since I was a child, and I have set a family affair for you since I was a child. Originally, I wanted you to get married this year? It seems that this year will not work, but you have to remember that no matter how many wives you marry in the future, you must not be wronged! ”

Cheng Biting Jin's old face turned red and said: "Mother, as long as your son looks like this, someone likes it very well, and he marries a few wives; Who is blind and can look at me! ”

Cheng's mother patted him and said: "A manly husband should be ambitious, let me tell you that in the future, your wife must be a woman with a fifth surname, so as not to insult our Cheng family and your ability." ”

Cheng Yanjin almost fell to the ground and said, "Mother, don't do this!" Are the daughters of these five families so easy to marry? Even the prime ministers of the dynasty were proud to marry five women? ”

Cheng's mother feigned anger and said, "What's wrong? Doesn't my son have the talent of a prime minister? Son, I am optimistic about you, you must work hard! ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded with a wry smile, and then took his mother to visit Liangshan with them while the moonlight was taking advantage of the moonlight.

The next day, Cheng Yanjin informed everyone about the expedition to Goguryeo, and adjusted the responsibilities of the personnel, and then he took Kan Ling, Luo Shixin, Wang Hu and eighteen elite soldiers selected by thousands of people; rushed to Dengzhou with Qin Qiong.

Along the way, they saw that the land of Qilu was full of mourning, and the dead bodies were stacked on top of each other; The wild dogs roaming the mountains and wilderness turned their eyes blood-red because they ate dead bodies.

The officials didn't care whether people lived or died, and the leather whips in their hands were all opened for a while, just urging the laborers to hurry as soon as possible.

Changbai Mountain's former Zhishilang, pure red Luo Mian's back crotch.

The long lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.

Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward.

For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading.

This song called on people to resist tyranny and not to die in Liaodong in vain, and the "Song of the Death of the Waves of Liaodong Waves" began to be sung quickly in the land of Qilu, and the laborers killed the officials one after another and threw themselves to Changbai Mountain in Zhangqiu.

Zhishilang, Wang Bo and Meng Rang raised the first banner of anti-Sui in Changbai Mountain, opening the magnificent prelude to the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty; It also pushed the Great Sui into the abyss of no return.

Their peasant ranks quickly swelled from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and grew. At the same time, Zhang Jin said that in Juan County, Liu Badao corresponded in Douzigang and other places, and they captured the county and killed corrupt officials, local tyrants and bullies. The peasants who could not survive responded one after another, and the ranks of the peasant uprising grew rapidly.

At this moment, Cheng Yanjin and the others finally came to Dengzhou; Here is the old prince Yang Lin stationed, no one rushed to brush the tiger's whiskers, it was still a peaceful scene.

They went straight to the military camp in Dengzhou to report, and when they arrived at the door, a sentry stopped them, Qin Qiong hurriedly stepped forward and took out the token to explain their intentions. The sentry glanced at them, told them to wait at the door, and flew inside to report the news.

Qin Qiong was valued by Lai'er, and after completing the gift-giving task, he had become a captain from the seventh grade; However, he, the captain of Zhichong, was really nothing in front of the door of the king of the backer, so he had to wait here obediently.
