Kaibao Temple Li Mansion.

Those who were able to live near Kaibao Temple were all prominent people in the court.

Here, unlike the old state bridge, it is a place where non-dignitaries cannot live.

Among them, there are several that only hang the plaque of the Li Mansion, and the owner of the Li Mansion is called Li Zhang, the official is the envoy of the Wusheng Army, and the envoy is commanded in front of the palace. After all, he is one of the commanders of the Praetorian Guard, and has the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of the palace.

Li Zhang is only about thirty years old now, but he already has an official body, and he is still a second-rank military general, which is enough to show that he is liked by Renzong Zhao Zhen, and his identity is not simple.

Li Zhang is indeed not simple, his father's name is Li Yonghe, but he is now in the court with the middle of the book, which is equivalent to the body of the prime minister. However, this is not the main thing, the main father's sister is Concubine Li Chen, who is the biological mother of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.

In other words, Li Zhang is Zhao Zhen's cousin, or the one who is very close. With such a relationship, he can have an official body at a young age, or such an important position, it can all make sense.

Li Zhang, who worked overnight last night, returned to the mansion in the morning, and before he could have breakfast, Li Tang, the housekeeper outside the door, trotted over, "Master, there is a Tong Zhilang named Su Shi outside the door who asks to see him, saying that there is something very important." ”

"Naorou Tong? Sushi? After Li Zhang heard this seemingly familiar name, he quickly thought of something, and then said loudly: "He came from a wooden chair?" ”

"Yes, exactly." Butler Li Tanglian nodded immediately.

"It's really him, but what important thing can he come to me about? Well, let him in. After Li Zhang thought about it, he decided to see each other.

About Su Shi, others don't know, but as the commander of the palace, he naturally knows.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Yue Siling has been guarding in front of Danfeng Gate for seven days, and this matter has already spread, and naturally it has also reached his ears.

It was precisely because of this that when he learned that Yue Siling was waiting for the young man on the wooden chair, and that young man actually cured King Jing's illness, which even the imperial doctor could not help, Li Zhang also wrote down this person's name.

This is not to say how important Su Shi is, but Li Zhang thinks that this person's medical skills are good, and he may not know when he will use this person, so he has the heart to make friends.

Soon, Lou Yang pushed Su Shi to the main hall of the Li Mansion, where Li Zhang was waiting to show his solemnity.

"Xiaguan Su Shi has seen General Li." As soon as the two sides met, Su Shi hugged his fists and saluted.

It is said that Li Zhang is a military general, Su Shi is a civil official, and the two are not a system at all. But Su Shi still said this, which meant to elevate the identity of the other party.

"Hehe, this is the house, there is no need to be so polite between you and me, come, sit down." Li Zhang smiled, don't look at the age of just in his early twenties, he has some style in dealing with people.

This may be what he learned from his father Li Yonghe.

Li Yonghe, as the uncle of Renzong Zhao Zhen, never oppresses people with power, and is very low-key. Of course, this is just a different way of treating people, if anyone really thinks that the Li family is easy to bully, then you can give it a try, and keeping it will make you hit your head and bleed.

"Brother Li is so polite." Even if he is not commensurate with his official position, Su Shi is also very happy, so after laughing, he was pushed to sit in front of Li Yonghe.

"Uh, but I don't know what happened to Brother Su?" Li Zhang had a smile on his face, but he was very curious about the reason why Su Shi came.

This person is an official with medical skills, and he has also heard that this person still has the blood of the Zhao family. But none of this seemed to have anything to do with him, he was young and in good health now, and it seemed that it was not yet time to find the Holy Hand.

Facing Li Zhang's doubts, Su Shi smiled, "Then he reached into his arms, and then a palm-sized tea brick was taken into his hand and placed in front of Li Zhang."

Su Shi talked to each other in a straightforward way, and he also knew that he was completely unequal to the other party in terms of identity and status, and the extra greetings were just nothing to say, and it would be very embarrassing if he didn't get it right. It's not surprising that even when you encounter an evil master, you will blast yourself out.

Su Shi didn't allow any problems with this plan, so he made a move, and what he wanted was to achieve a shocking effect.

"What is this?" Li Zhang is a little unfamiliar with the things in front of him, and some are familiar, like tea cakes, but they are not the same as what he has seen.

Speaking of which, Song tea is mainly steamed green tea, that is, steamed tea drinking.

There are two types of cakes and loose tea. For example, the tea brick in front of me is similar to the cake tea that is ground into cakes.

"It's tea." Su Shi said straightforwardly, but then added, "But it's not those cakes and teas on the market, what the specific taste is, let's just drink it."

"Oh?" I heard that it was different from the usual cake and tea, and Li Zhang was also interested, "Okay, then try it." Plum soup, go to prepare steamed tea. ”

"No, no." Su Shi interrupted, "You just need to prepare boiling water and a teacup."

"Huh? It's a little interesting, do it according to Brother Su's wishes. Li Zhang could also listen to his opinions, so he smiled and nodded to the housekeeper Li Tang.

Li Tang's hands and feet were very nimble, and in a short period of time, he came to the main hall with a pot of boiling water and two teacups and placed them in front of Su Shi.

"Today we are mainly tasting tea, not so many bells and whistles, if there is a flaw one day, you can have a set of kung fu tea, that is the highest state of tea." Su Shi was anti-customer-oriented, and he got busy.

It is said that it is busy, but the action is actually very simple, that is, two small pinches are removed from the tea bricks, put them into the two teacups respectively, and then pour a little boiling water into the cup, and then pour the first tea water out, and soon pour the boiling water again, and the teacup is placed there to stand.

Li Zhang had been watching from the side, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "This is the end?" ”

"Yes, it's over, if you're in a hurry, you can drink it now, of course, the water is still a little hot now, and it's the best time to wait a while." Su Shi said with a confident smile on his face.

"But is that really going to work?" Li Zhang was obviously a little confused, and even more disbelieving.

At this time, the steamed tea needs to be washed and cleaned by repeated water, placed in the ou vessel, and steamed after the water boils, the tea leaves are steamed, not overheated or unripe, overripe is yellow and light in taste, unripe is green and easy to precipitate, and has a grassy taste.

But even when such tea leaves are drunk in the mouth, there is still an inexhaustible sense of bitterness. But this tea leaves do not go through these processes at all, and can be drunk with boiling water? The smell is unimaginable.

Li Zhang has never drunk tea like this, the main reason is that the tea process at that time was not sound, and drinking it like this will only be more bitter, so it is not enjoyment, but self-inflicted guilt.

"Well, it should be about the same." As if he hadn't seen Li Zhang's somewhat suspicious face, Su Shi smiled and reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him, then hit the lid of the cup, blew lightly on the mist, and then took a sip.

Li Zhang saw all this, and he seemed to have seen the scene of Su Shi squirting tea in one go.

It's just that the result he expected didn't appear, on the contrary, Su Shi still said with a look of enjoyment, "Brother Li's water should be taken from the high mountains, it's good, the water quality is good, and it can enhance the taste of tea, good." ”

"Okay?" Li Zhang looked at Su Shi with suspicion, wanting to see if he was playing any tricks or holding back something.

However, after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any flaws. On the contrary, during this meeting, Su Shidu had already drunk the tea in front of him, and poured new boiling water again, and then began to taste it slowly.

"Already two glasses? Does it taste really good? Li Zhang's skepticism gradually decreased, and he finally decided to give it a try.

Anyway, it's not a poison, so if it doesn't taste good, just spit it out. With such an idea, and even ready to spray tea at any time, Li Zhang took a sip very carefully.

It was this gentle sip, Li Zhang did not feel any bitter feeling from the tip of his tongue, on the contrary, when the mist entered the nostrils, it still gave people a very fragrant feeling.

Then the second mouthful, then the third and fourth mouthful...

For example, the cow drinking water can be used to describe Li Zhang's appearance when he drinks tea. As Li Zhang, who has been an aristocrat since he was a child, he has never seen any kind of good things, and he is afraid that he never thought that one day he would be so hungry for a cup of tea.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. At first, there is a bitterness of a ding, but then it is fragrant. Haha, add water, add water. ”

As he spoke, he didn't even wait for Su Shi to touch the teapot, he snatched it and refilled the boiling water into the cup.

This time, Li Zhang deliberately observed the changes in the teacup, the shriveled shape and dull color of the tea leaves, because of the infusion of water, it bloomed a beautiful face, exuding a light fragrance, and when it sank to the bottom of the water, it was like a beautiful landscape staying in people's pupils.

"That's a good thing. I didn't expect that tea could still be drunk like this. Li Zhang said with some excitement as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Nope! It's our tea that can be drunk like this. Su Shi corrected with a smile.

"Oh? Isn't it okay to have other teas? Li Tang, I'm going to get a tea bowl. Li Zhang said as if he didn't believe it.

Li Tang saw the excitement of his master, quickly turned around and trotted away, and soon appeared in the main hall with a new tea bowl.

This time it was an ordinary cake and tea, Li Zhang also intended to follow Su Shi's example, poured out the first bubble of water, and then waited for the second bubble of water to be not so hot, so he took a sip in a hurry. This time it squirted.
