Cui Yingying looked at Li Su strangely, who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" β
"You just said that there is matcha craftsmanship on the gift list?" For modern times, many people may have forgotten the craft of matcha, but because he consulted the history of the Tang Dynasty, he re-understood the tea art of matcha, which was regarded as the quintessence of the country by the Japanese and has been lost in today's China.
Cui Yingying handed the gift list to Li Su and said, "That's right, it's written like this, is there anything special about this matcha?" β
Matcha is a kind of natural stone mill milled city micronized, covered, steamed green tea, this process began in the Sui Dynasty, and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, in the Ming Dynasty appeared after the emergence of modern brewed tea, matcha gradually lost the market and disappeared from history, and according to Li Su understand that matcha is not popular in the Tang Dynasty at this stage, it is estimated that the matcha process spread in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and now the Tang Dynasty is popular to eat tea, this kind of tea also puts green onions, ginger and dates together to boil tea, somewhat similar to porridge.
"It's a good thing." Li Su glanced at the gift list, the back of this process is written with the name of a person named Yanbei, and it is not marked whether it is an official or a businessman, Li Su received too many people at the time, and he didn't care about this, but this Yanbei seems to have ulterior motives, this matcha process is not something that can be learned just by looking at a few processes, this Yanbei is estimated to be doing business with the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, thinking about this, Li Su is not in a hurry, at this time he is busy running will definitely make the other party think that this matcha is very promising, and let him dry for a few days.
The next day, Li Su and Cui Yingying went to Cui's house, Cui Yingying cried when she saw her parents who had not seen her for a year, and then talked to her mother about private words. Li Su replied "not bad", Cui Shao was very happy when he heard this, and asked Li Su if he still needed someone, Li Su hurriedly declined, at that time, there was not enough manpower in the fiefdom, so he had to accept Cui Shao's help, and now this problem has been solved. He still felt that he was reassured.
The New Year is always busy, and it is Chinese New Year's Eve, this night Li Shimin is going to hold a grand family banquet in the Taiji Palace, Li Shu did not go last year, and this year he will not be able to run.
That night, Li Su took Cui Yingying to the Baifu Hall of Taiji Palace. This year's family banquet will be held here, and when he and Cui Yingying arrived, there were already many people in the Baifu Palace.
"Rokuro!" Li Ke saw Li Su first, and walked over to him with a smile, and there was a woman standing beside him, it was Princess Wu Yang.
"Third brother!" The brothers were very cordial when they saw each other, and Li Su stepped forward to salute Li Ke and Yang.
Cui Yingying was still attending the family banquet for the first time, and Li Ke asked the Yang family to accompany Cui Yingying. He talked freely with Li Ke, and Li Su was also willing to accompany each other and play with Li Ke.
As time passed, there were more and more people in the hall, some princes and princesses 6 continued to arrive, and some princes and princesses who were younger than Li Su came to salute him.
"Did the sixth brother bring a gift to his son? The gourd has eaten all the toffee. When the son and Li Zhi came to the main hall, they stayed by Li Su's side and refused to leave. pestered Li Su to ask for gifts, and the other little princes and princesses also did the same, messing around with their sons, and the concubines were all smiling when they saw this scene, and now these little princes and princesses are not less worried about Li Su.
Li Su pinched his son's little nose and said, "I can only give gifts on the first day of junior high school, and I will give it to my son tomorrow." β
"Really?" The son's eyes widened, "What a gift?" Can the sixth brother sue sΓΉ son? I won't sue anyone else. β
Li Su whispered something in his son's ear, and the son immediately giggled, and ran to the eldest grandson queen to show off.
"Sixth brother, what about mine?" Li Zhi was not to be left behind.
Li Su made a blank face. "The third brother said that Li Zhi was too stubborn, so he won't give gifts this year."
"Woo... Third brother, you speak ill of me! Li Zhi cried out when he heard this.
Li Ke was speechless to Li Su, why did the basin buckle on his head, so he said: "Look at your little bit of talent, your sixth brother teases you, everyone has a gift." β
Li Zhi put away his crying when he heard Li Ke say this, and Li Zhi laughed heartlessly, it is also good to tease this historical Tang Gaozong.
Playing with many younger brothers and sisters, Li Shimin walked in from outside the hall, everyone returned to their positions and sat down, Li Yu's position was the same as before, next to him was Li You, now Li You is a little different from before, the evil spirit on his body is heavier, and he also ignores Li Su, Li Su can't help but feel that the little prince and the big prince are different, people are not fun when they grow up, and there are too many interests and losses in their hearts.
Of course, Li Yu didn't pay attention to Li You, he just listened to Li Shimin's words with his ears, just like the last family banquet, Li Shimin sat down and said a few words, and the family banquet officially began.
Wine and family banquet, singing and dancing, and suddenly the whole Baifu Hall was happy, Li Shimin was also in a happy mood, drinking frequently, and Li Su also stepped forward to toast Li Shimin.
An hour passed, and the family banquet was coming to an end in a joyful atmosphere, and Li Wei got up at this time and said, "Father Emperor, on this festive season, the son has a novel gadget that he wants his father to see, so as to increase the interest of Chinese New Year's Eve." β
Li Shimin was interested, "What is it, let my father take a look." β
"Please also ask my father to follow his sons and ministers outside the palace, it is not appropriate to appreciate it here." Li said respectfully.
Li Shimin became more and more surprised, there was nothing else that could not be seen in the house, so he said to the prince and concubines, "Let's go, let's see what new things Liulang has come up with." β
As soon as Li Su's words fell, the young princes immediately cheered and ran out, while Li Chengqian, Li Tai and the others had gloomy faces, and they understood that as long as Li Su came, there would be no chance for them to show their faces.
Outside the door, Li Su greeted the eunuch, and the eunuch left, and soon carried a large box over, which contained the fireworks that Li Su had purchased from modern times.
Li Shimin looked at the cylindrical, cone-shaped thing in the box and asked, "Liulang, what is this?" β
"Does Father know about firecrackers?" Li Su gave these people a vaccination first, and this thing will explode.
"Of course I do." During the Chinese New Year, there will also be firecrackers in the palace, he is no stranger, and when he heard the word firecrackers, the eyes of the other little princes lit up.
Li Yu continued: "This one is somewhat similar to a firecracker, except that it will emit a very beautiful flame from inside. β
"Is this also something from Luo Anguo?" Li Shimin asked.
"That's right, this is a toy used to celebrate Luo Anguo's New Year, and Erchen will now order one for his father to see." Li Su picked up a firework called Huoshu Yinhua, walked to the bottom of the steps, and released it for the first moment, so as not to frighten these people.
Everyone was attracted by Li Su's movements, and at this time, Li Su picked up a lit candle and lit the fuse.
In just a few seconds, fireworks four or five meters high suddenly rushed out of the cone-shaped fireworks tube, and the raindrop-shaped flames spread out all over the sky, tearing apart the dark night, which was extremely beautiful.
Li Su was first shocked when he saw everyone, and then instantly attracted by this beautiful scenery, Li Su ran over and stood with everyone to watch.
"It's a fetish, it's so beautiful, how did you do that?" Li Shimin stared intently at the fire tree silver flower and asked.
Li Su asked Li Ke at the family banquet just now, and it turned out that there was already the most primitive black powder in the construction prison of the Ministry of Industry, so he said: "Father, this is exactly what gunpowder is used to make zuΓ²." β
"Gunpowder!" This gunpowder has only appeared in the past two years, Li Shimin has also seen this kind of thing in the construction prison, just use a little fire, I didn't expect it to have this effect, but Li Su unraveled the mystery of this firework, and Li Shimin was not afraid, but became interested, "Let me also light one." β
Li Su took one out of it and explained to Li Su how to light the fireworks, Li Shimin figured out the method, learned from Li Su to take the fireworks below, used a candle, moved a few steps, and then a beautiful firework bloomed, and the others were immediately fascinated by it.
"I'll have one too!" Li Ke also had itchy hands, and held a cube firework tube from inside, this firework tube was a forty-eight cannon in the sky, and the projectile would only explode when it was in the air, followed by a fireworks ball more than ten meters long, which was very beautiful.
However, when the fireworks were released, Li Yu took a preventive shot in advance and told them that this thing would explode like a firecracker, making everyone cover their ears.
Li Shimin lit a firework and was very excited, and walked back with a smile, he watched Li Ke walk down with one in his arms, and stood on the steps to watch Li Ke set off fireworks.
And then, they really saw what is called fireworks, after a loud bang, the colorful huge fireworks filled the sky, the prince, the princess, the concubine's eyes only left the beautiful scene, and the guards in the Taiji Palace, the eunuchs, and the palace maids also saw this wonder, but many of them were frightened by the huge explosion and their legs were weak, knowing that Li Shimin sent someone to tell them that this was a special firecracker, they relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
In the various people's squares in Chang'an, the people were attracted by these "booming" sounds, looking in the direction of the Taiji Palace, many people knelt on the ground and muttered to themselves.
Li Ke's fireworks were finished, Li Shimin was on the rise, and set off a few more fireworks, just about to light another one, a eunuch suddenly ran in from outside the palace in a hurry, while running, while shouting, "Your Majesty, congratulations, the people outside the city all say that Your Majesty is favored by God, and the sky is auspicious in Taiji Palace, and they are all bowing to Taiji Palace!" β
"Hahaha......" Li Shimin, who was about to light fireworks, laughed when he heard this, the idea of divine authority of kings since ancient times has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is why many ancient emperors let their fathers go, but they have to say that their mother gave birth to him after stepping on a footprint, and the fireworks brought by Li Su tonight are not only dazzling, but also make him Li Shimin consolidate his royal power, can he not be happy at this time?
