Chapter 3: Flickering
Later, Liu Yifu learned that in this era, tea is not only drinking, but also medicinal, and the tea as "one of the world's three major beverages" in later generations is just a drink, and it has long been not a medicine, after all, the earliest tea was Shennong appeared as an antidote after tasting a hundred herbs, and tea itself does have medicinal value, so it is not surprising.
Tea drinking in the world is far from the development of the Ming and Qing dynasties of brewing simplicity, even if it is the Tang Dynasty in later generations, it is still to decoction tea with water, different from this era, the Tang Dynasty has a set of complicated etiquette for drinking tea, Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" also laid the foundation of the tea ceremony, to the Song Dynasty, the tea ceremony has matured, the Song Dynasty tea ceremony is still the ancestor of the Japanese tea ceremony, we are familiar with the Japanese matcha, the earliest was born in the Song Dynasty.
Of course, at this time, it is far from developing to the point of the tea ceremony, so at first contact with this kind of tea brewed after adding messy spices and condiments, for Liu Yifu is no less than dark cuisine, 100 teas and 100 flavors, and the taste of tea is all adjusted by himself, what to add, how much to add, is up to his own words. So at first, Liu San thought that the tea was not in line with Lang Jun's taste, and wanted to ask what to add.
The problem is not that what condiments are added to cut down at all, and they are not killed, but they are simply dried and used to soak in water to drink, and someone can drink such a large smell of grass!? Liu Yifu secretly complained in his heart.
Touching his little chin, his brain was thinking quickly, Liu San saw Xiao Langjun like this, and his heart was flooded with a bad feeling, every time his own Xiao Langjun touched it, the family would have chickens and dogs jumping, but Liu Yifu really didn't want to do things at home for the time being, well, just not at home......
"Liu San, where did you buy this tea?" Liu Yifu waved his hand and retreated the little maid.
"Back to Xiaolangjun, this is Wuling tea from Jingzhou, which was bought in a newly opened shop of a Shudi merchant." Liu San thought about it seriously and said.
"How long has this merchant been in Jiankang?" Liu Yifu's eyes rolled and asked again.
"It is said that I came to Gyeong-eup at the beginning of this year." Liu San replied.
"Let people check their backgrounds, in detail, Shu has not been peaceful recently." Liu Yifu felt as if he had an idea, so let people find out the bottom first.
"Yui." After Liu San answered, he turned his head and prepared to find someone to inquire about the situation.
Liu Yifu thought about it, so he half got up and continued to Liu San:
"Hey, wait a minute, remember to come again after you finish this matter, and you still have something to order."
"Yui." Liu San had no choice but to answer again.
"Go ahead, come back and go to the kitchen for a big meal."
"Yui!" Liu San became very happy in an instant, and poor Liu San wanted to finish his work quickly and then eat a big meal, completely ignoring where to eat.
Looking at Liu Sanxing's elated back, Liu Yifu secretly poked and muttered: "Being young is so wow, easy to be satisfied, and being so happy with a meal for nothing." ”
……
After noon, Liu Yifu went back to his back bed to bask in the sun after eating, so lazy to exercise, he was not very fat, Liu Yifu sometimes secretly sighed that his old Liu family's genes were really not poked.
Liu San looked at Xiao Langjun, who didn't seem to have any change in his lying posture, and was not surprised, he arched his hand and said:
"Back to Xiaolangjun, I have already found out, this shop is called 'Ling Sexuan', it is a Shudi merchant, and it is a business that has not been opened long ago in the big market in Changganli in the south."
Liu San said that the big market, is located in the south of the Huai River Changganli, the Three Kingdoms period Sun Quan ordered to open one of the large commercial markets, although as we all know, Changganli is a residential area, but at this time the characteristics of Jiankang City is the integration of the market, the boundary between the business district and the residential area is not so obvious, some are even in front of the shop, the back of the people, is it very like the kind of first floor shop on the second floor of the building in the later generations? Yes, it is a combination of business and residence, but most of them are self-employed, and most of them are their own stores. In addition to the imperial palace and the former Luoyang, the city of Jiankang is not much different, but the fang city system is different from Chang'an and Luoyang, but it is somewhat similar to the Tokyo city of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"When did you come to Jiankang? Can they know the servant? Liu Yifu nodded, expressed his approval, and then asked again.
"I inquired in many ways, I only came at the beginning of the year, this little Langjun can rest assured, it's just ......" What Liu San said earlier is still relatively full, but the second question is a little hesitant,
"Although I have not been here for a long time, I have heard of Xiao Langjun...... But it should not be recognized. Liu San didn't say anything.
"I think so." Liu Yifu didn't doubt him, reasonable speculation, in fact, even if he knew, it was not a big problem, and then waved his hand and said:
"Let's go, let's have a big meal."
Although it didn't take long to eat lunch, it didn't prevent Liu Yifu from eating again, for himself, dim sum and dinner are not a stomach...... What's more, Liu San still estimates that he hasn't eaten yet.
……
Half an hour later, a Hedong lion's roar came from the kitchen:
", which stealing raccoon slave is greedy for ......"
It's a pity that Liu Yifu and Liu San have already slipped out of the door, otherwise they would definitely be able to hear the voice of the chef and aunt in their own house. And at this moment, the two of them were preparing to go out to "Ling Sexuan" to take a look at the situation.
The cook has been working in Liu's Mansion for so many years, but in fact, she is clear in her heart, just to vent.
"Have you written down everything you just said?" When talking to Liu San, Liu Yifu seemed to feel the resentment of the cook in the house, and couldn't help but shudder.
Liu San changed into a straight deep coat at this time, this dress was a cloth that was rewarded during the Chinese New Year in previous years, and then Liu San found someone to make a piece of clothing, no longer the coarse cloth clothes that were easy to move around, and it looked a little elegant, but at this time, Liu San twisted his face, and he seemed to have a deep hatred with someone, and said:
"Xiao Langjun, can you change someone, don't be embarrassed as a servant, the servant is really not good, can't you go to Liu Yuanjun's mansion to find Axiu?"
Liu San's Liu Envoy Jun is Liu Muzhi, the right-hand man under his own father's command, the first person in Wenchen, leading the position of Tangyi Taishou, so Liu San calls him "Envoy", and "Ah Xiu" is called Liu Xiuzhi, Liu Muzhi's cousin, who has been staying at his cousin Liu Muzhi's house recently.
Liu Xiuzhi is a few years older than himself, in Liu Yifu's opinion, Liu Xiuzhi is a "pedantic" person, and Liu Muzhi is simply carved out of the same mold, doing things at a young age, and his personality also feels wooden......
However, Liu Xiuzhi is an honest child who talks about righteousness, and he can still get along more in the future, he is not honest, but he wants to get along with his friends to be honest, tsk, Liu Dashao is deeply aware of what he does not want and imposes on others.
If Liu Muzhi knew that he was pulling Liu Xiuzhi out to do something, he would know that he was going to report to his father, but Liu Muzhi had to tell his father about any trivial things, and he didn't want his family to know, and it would be hellish if he could let him know.
Liu Yifu looked back at Liu Muzhi's mansion, which was not far from his home, then turned his head and looked up at Liu San, pulled Liu San's hem, and said:
"Three, don't you have to be afraid of difficulties, this is the strength to trust you, and this matter is not much, it is just a matter of a few words, and it is not an illegal thing to let you do stealing chickens and dogs, killing people and setting fires, just bragging and having benefits, you are not happy?"
"But ......"
"There's nothing to do, let's go." After saying that, Liu Yifu hurriedly pulled Liu San forward.
Liu San is quite entangled sometimes, every time he is deceived by his own Xiaolangjun, the key deception is quite like that before, no matter what, next time I will definitely not mix with this kind of thing, the last time!
As for letting Liu Yifu know what Liu San is thinking, I'm afraid it's going to be hehe, the last time, oops, well, there is no shortage of real fragrance players in any era, I can let you escape from my Liu Dashao's palm!?
