In the middle hall of the Eguo Mansion, Li Shimin sat firmly in the main hall, and his first sentence almost made Li Che vomit blood: "Li boy, why don't you go and brew your new tea to taste it, and you want me to teach you?" ”

Affection summoned Li Che as a servant, Li Che pouted and said: "Your Majesty, what you want to drink this new tea is an artistic conception, and it must be brewed in person." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, that's fresh, how do you brew it, you say, I'll tell someone to fetch it."

"I want a charcoal stove and an iron kettle, and it would be better if I had mountain spring water."

"Oh, and so particular, come on, go and prepare." Li Er seemed to be interested, and he was not in a hurry to discuss political affairs.

After a while, the next person brought a charcoal stove and an iron kettle was prepared, but the mountain spring water was too troublesome now, so he had to replace it with well water, and Li Che put everything in front of his desk. After the iron kettle was filled with water, it was boiled on the charcoal stove, and when the water boiled, Li Che took out the bamboo tube and opened each cup and put a little in it.

As Li Che poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, the tea leaves slowly stretched, Li Che poured out the water, and the first brew could not be drunk, mainly to wash off the dust on the tea, which was to wash the tea. Immediately after Li Che poured boiling water for the second time, the tea leaves stretched wider, and the tea also turned into a transparent amber color, smelling a faint tea fragrance, although it was not strong, but it was refreshing.

Li Che took the tea and served it respectfully, and several people looked at Li Che's tea-making action in amazement, and brewed a cup of tea soup after chatting a few times, which seemed incredible, can this be delicious? Several people thought suspiciously.

In fact, a few people couldn't have imagined that this is just making tea, the real tea art is not so simple, anyway, others don't know, it belongs to his own originality now, and Li Che is not afraid of being exposed.

The real art of tea is divided into: washing tea? Brewing? Seal the pot? Split the cup? Divide the pot? Serving tea? Smell? Eight steps of tea tasting, the water is divided into several kinds, the spring water is the best, and the well water is second. The so-called tea washing is to pour boiling water into the pot and then pour it out quickly to wash away the dirt on the tea.

Brewing is to pour water into the pot again, this pouring water is also particular, there is a so-called "phoenix three nods" to show respect for the guests.

Seal the pot that is, cover the lid of the pot and pour boiling water all over the body of the pot, and the clouds are steaming and have an extra charm.

Then divide the cup, put the smelling cup and the tea cup neatly, put it on the saucer, pour tea into the smelling cup to make everyone's tea, tea fragrance, and tea taste the same, pour seven points full, it is for the pot to be divided.

Finally, the tea is served, and the guests should pour the tea into the tea cup, smell the fragrance in the cup, and then sip it slowly in three sips. This is smelling the fragrance and tasting the tea.

The best tea tasting is porcelain from Jingde and purple clay pot from Yixing.

Li Shimin looked at the tea in front of him, and didn't know what was so particular about it, was it just drinking it as usual? Fang Xuanling, who was opposite Li Che, had no worries, took a big sip, his mouth was full of bitterness, he swallowed it forcibly, smashed it and felt a faint sweetness, and when he wanted to taste it carefully, he found that the sweetness disappeared without a trace, leaving only a faint tea fragrance between his mouths.

"Good tea, I didn't expect this tea to have such a way to drink, um," Fang Xuanling took another sip: "Well, simply brew with water, and have another charm, light but not strong, the tea fragrance is overflowing, which makes people feel refreshed, good tea." ”

Li Shimin saw that Fang Xuanling said it so well, and was about to take a sip of the tea bowl, but Li Che hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, you have to smell it before you drink, take a small sip, like this." Li Che made a demonstration. Fang Xuanling's face turned a rare red, but fortunately, no one paid attention to it, and he was secretly relieved.

Li Shimin took a sip like this: "Huh? It's really good, hehe, I didn't expect you kid to spare some good things and bring them. ”

"What?" Li Che was dumbfounded.

"Give me your bamboo tube, I'll take it back and taste it slowly."

"Ah, Your Majesty's kid only has that little, but it took a hundred dollars for the kid to get it," Li Che said painfully, "Why don't you give you some points?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, a small bamboo tube of tea costs a hundred yuan, is it made of gold?"

"Baiwen is still the cost, and there is no one hundred and fifty Wen who wants to make a move." Li Che waved his hand and said very domineeringly.

"Ah, this... It's not something that ordinary people can drink," Fang Xuanling looked at the tea in the tea bowl and muttered, "This bowl of tea is not worth a penny or two." ”

"Li joins the army, I will pay for it, and I can also give it to His Majesty." The eldest grandson next to him, Wuji, said with a smile.

"Hehe, Wuji doesn't need it, even if I buy it," Li Shimin waved his hand, and the guard next to him took out a money bag and put it on Li Che's case, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and stopped talking.

Li Che handed the bamboo tube to the guard, took out the copper coins in the money bag and counted them one by one, one, two...... A full hundred and fifty, Li Che put it away with a smile, and several people were speechless for a while, how much do you love money.

"Li boy, as for you, you counted three times if you didn't just count ten copper coins." Li Er really couldn't stand it, and asked.

"The boy is poor, he doesn't have a penny in his pocket, and if he uses the money on weekdays, he has to ask his father for it, which makes the kid feel very guilty, and he always wants to earn a share of the family business, support himself, and glorify his ancestors. Your Majesty, you don't know, the boy has been a poor peasant for seven generations, and he has eaten the last meal all day long......" Li Che began to complain loudly, as if it was a great sin to owe him money.

Several Wenchen were dumbfounded when they heard this, the guards next to Li Shimin, their black faces were flushed, and they had the urge to laugh wildly, Li Er twisted his hair and asthma, interrupted Li Che and said: "Okay, I know you are poor, you are so good to keep the money bag." ”

Li Che happily stuffed the money bag to his chest, and the few people who watched it felt a chill.

"Now let's talk about the Turks' demand for money, and now that the money is ready, this is the grain and grass?" Li Shimin sighed, the matter of grain and grass was his biggest headache.

"Your Majesty, the matter of grain and grass still has to fall on the family," Du Ruhui, who had never spoken, said directly.

Hearing the words of the family, Li Shimin's face immediately became gloomy: "Hmph, the family... Family, yesterday was the joke that these families came together to see me, and wanted me to bow my head and stop thinking. ”

Du Ruhui lowered his head and smiled bitterly, it seems that it is true that His Majesty scolded the family yesterday, I heard that Wei Xuancheng participated in His Majesty's book in the early dynasty, and His Majesty did not eat breakfast, so he came out to avoid trouble, but he didn't expect that his health was not good, and such a thing happened in the early dynasty.

"And that Wei Zheng Lao..."Li Er was so angry that he couldn't care about the occasion.

"Hmm, Your Majesty is angry, it's better to find a way." The eldest grandson Wuji interrupted Li Shimin, who was delivering the goods, he was Li Shimin's eldest brother, and Li Che, who was waiting to see Li Shimin's revelations, was disappointed and blamed the eldest grandson Wuji for being too talkative.

Li Shimin realized that he was speechless, coughed and said: "What Wuji said is very true, I don't know who else has any good attention?" ”

Eldest grandson Wuji: "Do you want to increase taxes?" ”

"No, there is a big drought in Guanzhong, and the people don't have much food, and if you increase taxes, you may have an accident," Fang Xuanling hurriedly stopped.

The scene was silent, only Li Che was drinking tea there heartlessly, "purring".

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Che, who was sitting at the bottom, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Li joins the army, looking at your calm and relaxed appearance, you must have already come up with a countermeasure, I don't know if you can teach me?" ”
