"Li Dan has seen Zhu Baihu, may I ask what your full name is ......?"

"My name is Zhu Qizhen, and my name is Jiuying. Li Sanlang has a word?"

"Uh, ah, I...... I haven't yet."

"Hey, when did you see my dad tell him to call you one, he's cute to do such a thing!" Zhu Baihu's arrogant style made everyone dumbfounded.

When Zhao Chongbi was present just now, he was still in order, Zhao Tongzhi was dragged by Fan Taizun to talk in the hall, this guy's style changed instantly, Zhao Jingzi couldn't help but laugh first, and everyone else laughed.

"Hey, don't laugh, I'm such a person, usually casual, but it's different when I see Shangguan. It's all taught by my father, what kind of kings and ministers, fathers and sons, but in fact, he never liked these things!"

Everyone is even happier, oh——, it turns out that this is a few words of his father behind his back, where is the source of this brother's character!

"Well——, your father's name is Zhu Zhanji?" Li Dan asked tentatively.

"Hey, you know?" Zhu Baihu was taken aback.

Li Dan's head shook like a rattle, and he smiled reluctantly: "It's just that I have heard of it, I have never had that honor."

"Oh, that's good!" Zhu Qizhen patted his heart in fright.

"Why, you're afraid that others won't be able to see your father?" Zhao Jingzi asked jokingly.

"Alas, my father, it's hard to say!" Zhu Qizhen pouted and shook his head, like those rebellious babies in his previous life. "But ......, he is a commander in Fengyang, how did you hear about it?" He suddenly looked at Li Dan very strangely.

That's a great question! Li Dan thought to himself. He can't say that your father was the emperor in my previous life, of course he can't say that. Again...... I don't know if it's really the right number?

You can't talk blindly about things that you can't get into, especially when there is Zhao Jingzi standing next to you, and there is a Zhao Chongbi in the house, two royal families in this world! Li Dan quickly turned his brain, no matter what, let's try it first, so he replied:

"I like calligraphy and danqing (that is, painting), and I have heard that my father is a strange person, although he is a martial artist, but he is very good at it.

He is especially good at figures, flowers, birds, and animals, and his brushwork is refined and accurate, and he combines rigidity and softness, which is quite the essence of the Song people."

"Hah!" Zhu Qizhen laughed, pointed at Li Dan and said, "I didn't expect someone to comment on him like this in this spare work, the old man must be so happy to hear that he will take you as a confidant, he likes to be praised the most!"

"I just don't know if this is the inheritance of the Jun family, or which Masters it is from?" Li Dan was tentative.

Zhu Qizhen raised his head and thought: "It's not about inheritance, my family's ancestors and great-ancestors are all military generals, and my grandfather only began to learn from literature after the dynasty was established.

Although his father inherited the military position, he actually didn't catch up with the war, so it was easy to prepare for the war, and when he reached the halfway point, he said that the thief had retreated, so he had to lead the troops back again.

So every day at home to write, paint, express the depression. I don't want him to be famous, but I have to write to him and teach him that he will be able to live many days!"

"Okay, I said, why are you two talking about calligraphy and painting?" Zhao Jingzi hugged the shoulders of the two of them one by one: "Yang Baihu's celebration banquet is about to start, let's be careful of being punished for drinking!"

It turned out that Yang Dayi was known to Fang Weijin, the general of Raozhou, because of the merits of Santang Town, and General Fang went to the border pass, saying that when he was employing people at the very moment, he asked for permission to transfer him to Jiangxi to listen to the use, and also agreed to give him a promotion to a thousand households.

Zhao Tongzhi brought the news, so Gu Da and the others shouted, and coaxed Yang Lian to treat him. Liu Hongsheng was quick, so he sent someone to inform his father and brother to keep the upstairs seat, and buy vegetables and so on.

When they saw that the sun was already high, everyone hurriedly shouted, "Go together, go together!"

Because the county order had prepared a banquet to catch up with Zhao Chongbi, Li Dan confessed to Zhu Baihu and promised to go to Hongsheng's store to meet everyone after eating the wine here, and Zhao Jingzi and more than a dozen people accompanied Zhu Qizhen to leave first.

Fan Xianzun's banquet must have invited all the squires to accompany him, but this time there were fewer people than the last time he came to pick up Li Dan, because some young people were guarding various places and didn't have time to rush back to the city.

But that's it

Zhao Chongbi and Li Dan had more opportunities to communicate and communicate privately, and halfway through Zhao Chongbi went to the flower hall to rest with the support of Li Dan in the name of being unable to drink.

"Saburo doesn't think I've really drunk too much, does he?" Looking at Li Dan, who was busy making tea for himself before and after running, Zhao Chongbi felt funny, this kid was very respectful, but what kind of leaves did he make?

This thing looks like a dead grass, can you really drink it?

In this era, tea appeared, but it was only drunk by the lower riba people, and occasionally scholars liked it. Most people still like group tea.

In ancient times, tea was called "tu", and it was first used by people in the mountains and wilderness to make wild vegetables.

But because of its bitterness, it is endowed with medicinal functions. Later, it entered the ranks of drinks, and took it with green onions, ginger, dogwood, etc., and thought that it could be healthy, and this kind of drink was called "tea".

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the scholars pursued detachment, beauty, and true feelings, and the trend of true feelings became more and more popular in the two Jin Dynasty.

Lu Yu clearly stated the benefits and functions of tea in the Book of Tea, and was very dissatisfied with the incorporation of other condiments to change its original color, aroma and taste.

Of course, the hermit's quest did not have much influence on worldly habits and hobbies. With the introduction and integration of Hu culture, the decoction-type "tea" began to transition to mixed emulsion drinks, forming a new form since the Tang and Song dynasties.

Tea has also evolved from a paste to a drink similar to today's milk tea, and has gradually developed into something similar to Li Dan's favorite coffee in his previous life through a series of processes such as meticulous grinding, compaction, brewing, and filtration.

It's not so much tea as tea.

However, it is baked or carefully ground with the technology and techniques of the time to obtain various tea powders, auxiliary materials, and spices, which are proportioned, mixed, and compacted in a certain order to obtain the basic powder, and on this basis, the brewing and filtration are carried out to finally obtain the main body of the drink.

The so-called tea ordering is to quickly stir soy milk or tea powder, and then slowly pour it on the surface of the tea (sometimes outlined with a hollow straw stick) to form a pattern or shape, so as to judge each other's skills. Similar to the latte art process of baristas in previous lives.

During this period of Li Dan's life, tea varieties had already been differentiated. For example, Fujian's Wuyi Oolong, Anhui's Zhengshan Xiaozhong, Lu'an Bird's Tongue Melon Slices, Zhejiang's Longjing, Biluochun, etc.

The auxiliary materials are smoked beans, salt bamboo shoots, sesame seeds, melon kernels (melon seeds), walnuts (walnuts), etc., and the spices are almonds, borneol, cloves, wood, roses (candied roses) and so on.

Only then did he realize that in his previous life, the name of tea in ancient books was so long, and it turned out that there was a beginning.

For example, sesame melon kernels and almond mulberry Longjing tea, the word "plus" is used before the excipients, followed by spices, and finally the name of the main body of tea.

In addition to the main tea, there are also dried flowers such as plum, cinnamon or jasmine, which is flower tea, or fruit and candied fruit are added to make fruit tea.

People in this era seem to be particularly leisurely, willing to spend a lot of time drinking tea, pondering how to grind taro flour more finely; Green salt can be fried to be purer, whiter, and with fewer impurities; How to bake the minced chives to maximize their aroma (not yet baked) and so on.

Last time Li Dan went to Xu's house, he ate tea, and the kitchen made a meal.

Therefore, eating tea (note that it is not tea drinking or drinking tea) is more important than quenching thirst, as if every household is a Starbucks.

The problem is that Starbucks only needs to think about roasting and grinding coffee beans, while housewives and their maids in this era have to think about all the ingredients, accessories, and spices!

What ingredients to add, how much to put in various ingredients, and even the heat of the water, the speed of water when brewing, etc., fully reflect the knowledge, understanding and attitude of the tea cooker to the drinker.

For example, you can't put too many things on the monks, one or two auxiliary materials are enough, and you must not put spices;

For example, you can add more fragrant and sweet things to children, and reduce the amount of borneol and cloves for the elderly.

Poor people may have few types of materials for their households, and the price is low; The rich have a wide variety of varieties, reflecting the grandeur of the main family; The magnates use the materials gracefully and magnificently, and the smoked beans may make the guests

Mistakenly think that you don't value him or deliberately treat him coldly.

Of course, whether the visitor's status is noble or respected or not is also related to the variety of discharge.

On the other hand, the order of drinking tea is exquisite, the guests drink the first cup, and generally change the tea, such as flower tea or fruit tea, the taste of the tea from the initial rich to later more and more light, the guests will also get up and say goodbye.

However, Li Dan doesn't like this kind of cumbersome tea very much, and he doesn't have any slaves and servants who do this full-time.

So he has been thinking about how to roast tea and brew since he was a child, and finally had a bosom friend after meeting Wu Maocai, and the process of roasting tea has greatly improved.

Today, in order to show respect for Zhao Chongbi, he decided to make tea himself.

But when he brought the golden tea to Zhao Chongbi, he saw the corners of his mouth raised, and immediately guessed what he was laughing at. Then he shook his hand and deliberately said, "You can't have drunk loose tea, right?"

"Huh? Who said!" Zhao Chongbi took a sip and smashed it: "Even the palace is now drinking loose tea, of course we have to practice it."

"Eh," Li Dan shook his head, "I'm afraid that the people who use loose tea in the palace are all palace people and eunuchs, and the status of adults is precious, how can they be the same as them?"

"Hmm." Zhao Chongbi nodded, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up to see Li Dan looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth! Don't beg for a beating, but be serious!"

Li Dan smiled and made a gesture, sat down under the test, and asked, "My lord, this time I tossed the lake bandits miserably!"

Although the finless porpoise has removed the knotweed flower seed, he is not a person who is extremely vicious and good at coercion, and the other forces in the lake must be unconvinced.

It will take him some time to settle down, so the lake bandits can be fine for the time being. How are the miners in the mountains settling down?"

"You care about this, but you want the government to send you more officers and soldiers?" Zhao Chongbi saw his intentions.

"It's best to send another two thousand, let's take advantage of the high morale and take An Ren early!"

"Well, I don't want that, but not for now!"

"Why?"

"If we take Anren and alarm Yang He's father and son and cause them to fight back, we are afraid that we will be weak and difficult to resist." Zhao Chongbi replied after considering the words:

"In this matter, I'm afraid it seems more appropriate to communicate with Nanchang and reach an agreement on the side of the Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division, and then do it."

Li Dan's eyes narrowed, and he understood Zhao Chongbi's worries a little. He was afraid of attracting the Yang family's all-out attack, and if the good situation that he had brought with great difficulty was destroyed because of this, it would be a bit of a big loss.

Moreover, Nanchang has not made an inch, but there are one success after another, which seems to be a bit too much of the limelight.

"Your lord's concerns and humble duties are understood." Li Dan nodded: "However, General Yang Xing is supervising the felling of trees in Anren, and has collected thousands of laborers and craftsmen from all over Fuzhou to build ships in Shigang. If he causes ...... in his fleet."

"What?" Zhao Chongbi stood up with a "whew": "When did you know? Message really?

However, ......, I've heard that shipbuilding requires drying or baking the material to dry enough before it can be used. It wasn't a day's work. Doesn't Yang Xing understand this?" Zhao Chongbi asked suspiciously.

"They knew they had their captives cut down timber, but we never knew what we were going to do with it. Later, the inspection department on the Meigang side sent someone to report, saying that the Huangxi informant reported that the ship was being built on the other side.

We just sent out sentries to check before the battle, and we haven't paid off yet." Li Dan replied, "My lord, we thought the same way at first, but then we understood.

If you want the boat to last a long time, it will naturally be as the adults say. But if he only wants to use it for three or two months, then the temporary shipbuilding doesn't have to wait for the wood to dry at all! This shows that Yang Xing still hasn't given up the idea of going north!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Chongbi frowned: "If they are allowed to create a fleet, they will not only threaten Yu Gan down the river, but also enter the lake, or threaten Nanchang and Jiujiang." He clenched his fists.

If it can be taken by water, the Jiangshan army will not have to attack the city and push it over little by little. In such a vast expanse,

Where can you go if you have a boat?

"They must not be allowed to do so!" After speaking, he turned to Li Dan: "What if...... How about we go burn down his shipyard?"

"My lord, this matter is not difficult. However, this will still alarm the Yang family father and son." Li Dan leaned forward: "Now there are only five hundred enemy troops in Anren City, once they are alarmed to increase their troops, it will be difficult to fight again!"

"Only five hundred, really?" Zhao Chongbi repeated it, slowly paced in the house, walked to the door and stopped, and asked Li Dan without looking back, "Have you ever thought about how many people to use and how to attack? How sure are you that you will take it? How do you keep it after you get it?"

"Take half of the regiment to practice, there should be no danger here for Yang Lian to guard the city.

In addition, the fisherman Xiangyong's fleet can help us take the port, plus the people and horses of Zhu Baihu you brought, as well as the five hundred people of the Yangbu Local Inspection Department and the Xiangyong District Team, which is enough!

In addition, the task of guarding Mian Mountain has been reduced, and as long as 300 villagers are left on the mountain to guard the prisoners, we can let Cui Baihu's people go down the mountain to be our reserve.

After the city was occupied, I transferred the 1,500 surrendered troops to Yangbu, and at the same time as the reorganization and training, I served as a reserve to reinforce Anren. That should be about the same."

"Can you let the troops go into battle so quickly?" Zhao Chongbi was a little worried.

"No problem. We will not only have a town magistrate, but also a group of veterans will be assigned to serve as grassroots officers. I've done this before in Shangrao."

"I see, it's your bittersweet memories again." Zhao Chongbi smiled, and immediately asked a very practical question: "But if it is reported to the prefect, even if the grain, grass, and salary are approved immediately, I am afraid it will take half a month to get to the rest."

"You don't need to go out of the house, you can do it here." After Li Dan finished speaking, he gave Zhao Chongbi a general introduction to the matter of the funding committee, and then said with a smile:

"This time, another sum of money was seized, except for those livestock, armor, weapons, vehicles, etc., which were handed over to the county, and everyone calculated that each share could be divided into one penny and three cents of silver.

Therefore, everyone is eager for us to continue fighting, and the matter of attacking Anren will definitely be passed. As long as it is passed, everyone will continue to contribute money, and take out food, vehicles, livestock, and money to invest."

Zhao Chongbi smacked his tongue and said Brother Dan, you are so bold, you are not afraid of defeating the battle and losing everyone? Li Dan laughed and whispered to him:

"I put an undercover agent next to Yang Xing, and there are also our people in Anren City. We have cut off news from the north and the south since before the start of the war, but we can always know the enemy's situation.

Not only do we know the number, equipment, and supplies of Anren's defenders, but we also know who leads the patrol every night. How can we lose this battle?"

Hearing him say this, Zhao Chongbi's eyes flashed. Using the way of buying and selling shares to fight, this method is really unheard of, no wonder the whole county is so together.

"You start to prepare, I will immediately send someone to inform the Huifutai, as well as the Xuanfu envoy Si Yamen in Nanchang, and the command of the envoy Si Yamen. As soon as we get a reply, let's do it!"

He calculated that there were 2,000 people participating in the regimental training and the official army participating in the battle, and there were also thousands of Xiangyong and 1,500 surrendered soldiers, how could the goshawk fight rabbit pinch An Ren in his hands.

As for the back, he saw that Li Dan was already planning this matter, and believed that this little guy had already thought of follow-up means. "But ......, can you let me add a few shares as well?" He suddenly smiled slyly.
