Chapter 31: Tea is worth a thousand gold, and the wind is priceless
Dong Zhuo picked up the teacup and took a sip to cover up his embarrassment.
However, he was also thick-skinned, put down the teacup and continued: "Secondly, there is the water used to brew the tea. ”
"Water is the mother of tea."
"Its water is taken from the mountains and rivers, and the mountain spring water is sweet, which is the best choice."
Cai Yong's father and daughter nodded lightly when they heard this, this is not difficult, everyone understands.
At this time, I only heard Dong Zhuo continue: "Again, it is the utensils used. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo paused again, because Dong Zhuo had heard that it was better to make tea in a purple clay pot.
But the problem is that there were no purple clay pots in the Han Dynasty!
Most of the tools used to drink wine and water in the Han Dynasty were made of wood!
Gold and silver vessels are also relatively rare.
He's meowing!
Do you still want to make a purple clay pot yourself?
In addition, it seems that drinking tea and boiling water is also very particular, and the taste of making tea with water boiled in pots of different materials seems to be different.
The devil knows how those who can drink tea and understand tea can tell the difference, at least for now, Dong Zhuo doesn't understand!
Dong Zhuo found that Cai Yong and Cai Wenji were still looking at him, and it was worth saying hard: "The utensils used to boil water and make tea are all exquisite. ”
"Dong only knows how to boil water, and the copper kettle and silver kettle are okay."
"The utensils for making tea are best made of purple sand."
"The specific result still needs to be tried more, and if you try more, you will naturally know."
Cai Yong: ......
Cai Wenji: ......
However, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as pointing out the direction for them, and it is enough to try slowly if there is a direction.
Dong Zhuo had completely broken the jar at this time, and said directly: "How the taste of brewing tea is related to the technique of the person who makes the tea. ”
"What the specific process, Dong doesn't know, Situ can study it."
"However, the environment in which the tea is drunk is also very important."
"This tea is a new thing, and everything has to be tried slowly."
When Cai Yong heard this, he smiled and said: "What Xiangguo said, Yong understands." ”
"If that's the case, eating this tea has something in common with Fuqin."
Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, and responded, "Yes, yes." ”
"That's it."
"It's similar to Bo Jiao playing the piano on weekdays, but it's an elegant thing anyway."
"Wouldn't it be nice for two or three friends to drink tea and listen to music together?"
Cai Yong hesitated and said: "It's just that Xiangguo's tea, I'm afraid I can't get it yet, and it may take some time to gradually improve." ”
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter, there will be brave men under the heavy reward." ”
"It's not difficult to improve, it's easy to do, it's just a little more time."
After that, Dong Zhuo then asked: "Uncle, Dong wants to ask, if there is a fine product in this tea, it may be favored in the eyes of the scholars?" ”
Cai Yong thought for a moment and replied: "If Xiangguo can make good tea, this tea will definitely be hard to find!" ”
"Daughter!?"
Dong Zhuo muttered, "It's more valuable than Dong imagined." ”
Cai Yong listened to Dong Zhuo's words and said with a smile: "That's nature. ”
"This tea is primitive, natural, and although it has a bitter taste, it is also unique."
"If it is compared with tea soup, it is far better than tea soup, but it is not suitable to promote it now."
"Xiangguo is going to use this tea to make friends with courtiers, right?" Cai Yong looked at Dong Zhuo, and seemed to have understood his thoughts.
Dong Zhuo nodded, he definitely wouldn't invite him to tea for no reason.
"Most people in the court think that Dong is vulgar and unbearable, they are noble people, and Dong is naturally sludge in their eyes."
Dong Zhuo tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said helplessly: "With this tea, I will have to rely on the name of Bo Jiao to help Dong promote one or two." ”
"Being able to make some money is secondary."
"If you can ease relations with the officials in the DPRK, Dong will not be able to ask for it."
"Of course, this matter is not a cure, but the drop of water wears through the stone, you can take your time."
Dong Zhuo, as a prime minister, took the initiative to mention easing relations with the courtiers, thinking of making tea to "curry" the scholar class, which made Cai Yong feel happy for a while.
Only when the ministers are united can the government decrees be unimpeded, and the people under the rule can benefit more.
This can only be regarded as a small favor, but it is true that as Dong Zhuo said, anything can be changed slowly, and in the end, it can always be reversed.
If you want to get along well with your courtiers, in addition to the entanglement of interests, it is also very important to integrate into their circle.
And this tea is a stepping stone.
Throwing bricks and stones.
In Cai Yong's eyes, Dong Zhuo's "clear tea" can be regarded as taking the initiative to "curry" with the scholar class.
If Dong Zhuo knew his thoughts, he didn't know what he would think in his heart.
What does it mean to please?!
Those who know the times are Junjie, Han Xin can endure the humiliation of his crotch, how can he get a tea out to please him!
But in Cai Yong's eyes, Dong Zhuo's behavior is completely flattering.
But Dong Zhuo can't help it, the ministers in the court can fight and kill.
But if they are all wiped out, who will help manage the territory?
It's a very troublesome thing to think about, and most of my descendants are military generals.
Wouldn't it be bad for them to help govern the people!
There is no way, adults don't ask whether it's good or bad, they only look at the loss, as long as it's good for themselves, Dong Zhuo will naturally do it.
Cai Yong pondered for a moment and said to Dong Zhuo: "What Xiangguo meant, Yong already understands. ”
"As long as Xiangguo can improve the quality of this clear tea, Yong can guarantee that it will be liked by others."
Dong Zhuo smiled: "Then everything depends on Bo Jiao!" ”
After some conversation, the host and guest were happy, Dong Zhuo left the rest of the coarse tea in Cai Yong's mansion, and returned to Xiangguo Mansion with Lu Bu.
After sending Dong Zhuo away, Cai Wenji was going to go home for a while to accompany her old father, so she did not go home with Dong Zhuo.
Cai Yong picked up a little coarse tea brought by Dong Zhuo and put it in the palm of his hand, and sniffed it gently, "It's a little interesting." ”
"Yan'er."
Cai Wenji responded: "What's the matter with my father? ”
"Hey."
"Ordered someone to re-brew two lamps, and my father and daughter are tasting the taste of this."
Cai Yan remembered the scene when Fang Cai's father ate all the tea leaves in his stomach in one go, and covered his mouth and smiled.
Cai Yong's eyes widened, and he feigned anger and said, "Don't go quickly." ”
"Yes, yes."
Cai Yan smiled even more, but he didn't say much, and went to order the maid.
This is just this time, how to brew, naturally have to pay attention to it.
Cai Yong sat alone in the hall, his thoughts flying.
"Now Shi Sun Rui is in charge of the Criminal Department, Zhang Xiu is the lieutenant of Si Li, and the two of them are picketing lawlessness."
"After that, the school palace was used to accommodate scholars, and now it is making tea."
"Dong Xiangguo wants to change the world's peace of mind."
"That's a good thing!"
"When this tea is perfected, the old man is going to feast the guests, and the affairs of the school palace can be put aside for a while during this time, and this matter will be done first."
"Tea is worth a thousand gold, but it is hard to find a lot of money in this world, I hope Dong Xiangguo can start from the beginning."
"Alas!"
