Li Yuan's arrival made the courtyard, which had been quiet for a summer, lively again.

A few more buildings have been added to the annex, but overall there are still relatively few buildings.

In this way, it can not only meet the functional needs of the annex, but also not affect the scenery here.

The grandfather and grandson sent the drunk Duan Zhixuan and the others away, and then returned here together.

Li Zhi personally brewed a pot of green tea that had just arrived for Li Yuan, and asked him to try whether the taste was acceptable.

After all, the tea farmer lived up to Li Zhi's expectations, and when he was about to leave Guangzhou, he studied the process of roasting tea.

After Li Zhi's tasting, I felt that the taste was very good.

Therefore, he deliberately showed off his unlearned tea art in front of Li Yuan today.

As a southerner by the standards of his previous life, Li Zhi felt that he was not too qualified.

Not only does he not understand the process of growing tea and roasting tea, but even the kung fu of making tea can only be regarded as so-so.

But these were enough for him to show off in front of Li Yuan.

A small charcoal stove was burning on a fine tea table.

On top of the small stove is a small copper kettle.

At this time, the water in the copper kettle had been boiled, and Li Zhi picked up the copper kettle and began to pour water into a purple clay pot and two teacups placed on the tea table.

He then dumped all the water in several containers.

Then he put some tea leaves into the purple clay pot.

Then he filled the pot with about half a pot of water, then picked it up and shook it gently.

Then he poured the water out again in Li Yuan's interested eyes.

When Li Zhi filled the water for the third time, he finally filled the purple clay pot.

Just when Li Yuan felt that he was almost ready to drink, Li Zhi waited with peace of mind.

After a while, Li Zhi finally lifted the purple clay pot and began to pour tea for Li Yuan and himself.

At this time, the tea soup has a slight green color.

The color is very light, but it looks clear and clean, without the cloudy and greasy feeling of the popular tea soup at the moment.

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to Li Yuan: "Grandpa Huang, come and taste the tea soup that your grandson has studied, and see if you like it or not." ”

Li Yuan had already been interested in Li Zhi's operation at this time.

So after listening to Li Zhi's words, he immediately picked up the small teacup in front of him and sniffed it gently.

A refreshing tea fragrance that had never been smelled before instantly filled Li Yuan's nasal cavity.

My mind, which was a little drowsy from drinking, immediately cleared up a little.

Next, Li Yuan gently took a sip of tea soup and pressed it under his tongue.

An indescribable refreshing taste made him feel shocked.

After Li Yuan swallowed the tea in his mouth, he immediately drank the remaining tea in the cup.

After a short pause in his mouth, he swallowed it.

Immediately after that, he couldn't help but let out a breath, and a dragon groan came out of his mouth.

The refreshing sweetness of green tea made all the pores in Li Yuan's body stretch.

The lingering aroma between his mouths left him with a lingering aftertaste.

After feeling it carefully, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask Li Zhi with bright eyes, "How is this tea made?" Why is it so delicious? ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "This is the roasted tea process that my grandson specially invited a tea farmer to help develop when he first arrived in Guangzhou. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Yuan asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you drink it when grandpa came last time?" ”

Li Zhidao: "This method is extremely cumbersome, and the tea farmer has also done countless experiments to succeed, and his grandson has just received the finished product." ”

Li Yuan nodded when he heard this, and said: "This tea is fragrant and sweet, with an endless aftertaste, it is really a peerless product, and it took a lot of thought to come to the tea farmers." ”

Li Zhi said: "If the emperor's grandfather likes his grandson and wants to apply to his father to include this tea in the tribute tea, it will be worth the hard work of the tea farmers." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Great goodness." ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Yuan agree.

The process of roasting green tea has just been invented, and at this time it needs to have an official endorsement to be more easily accepted.

With the royal endorsement, the value of green tea can be raised and more people can follow suit.

In this way, the process of making green tea can be developed more quickly.

At the same time, this way of drinking tea without various spices and salt can also greatly save the cost of drinking tea.

So that tea can quickly spread to the homes of ordinary people.

In this way, tea farmers will have a greater market and no longer have to endure the almost monopolistic exploitation of those big families.

Because at this time, the tea drinking culture was still only popular among the upper class.

As a result, almost all tea farmers are in the service of the wealthy and powerful.

The tea produced by their great toils became a tool for the upper echelons of communication.

As a modern person, Li Zhi is very unaccustomed to this.

It's okay if you have money, food, and drink better than others, but you can't have a monopoly.

After the grandfather and grandson drank tea for a while, Li Yuan's wine had already dissipated a lot.

Li Yuan, who had recovered his spirits, immediately pulled Li Zhi and began to play mahjong.

Li Zhi had no choice but to pull Liu An, Chai Long and Duan Shizi.

Several people took turns to start a big battle with the old man, and they didn't stop until dinner.

After more than a year of rushing work, the warships of the Tang Navy Division have been produced one after another.

The wisdom of the nation's outstanding shipwrights was used in all kinds of warships using tail rotor and watertight cabin technology.

At the same time, the shape of the bottom of the boat was also changed from a flat bottom to a pointed bottom at the suggestion of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi also combined the compass and Sinan to invent a simple compass that could help ships identify their orientation in the vast sea.

The Dragoons are now familiarizing themselves with these new ships and tools with the sailors.

They are a little reluctant to part with the coming parting.

Therefore, when training, I work harder so that I can forget the troubles of parting.

Cheng Chumo and Xue Li had just raised a sail together.

At this time, while fixing the rope on the sail, he spoke: "Brother Rengui, he must not forget his brother when he returns to Chang'an City in the future. ”

Xue Li said: "What did Brother Chu Mo say? I, Xue Rengui, am I such a ruthless person? ”

Cheng Chumo said: "I am afraid that it will be difficult for the junior brother to return to Chang'an City in the past year and a half, and if there is something at home, I hope that Brother Ren will help you one or two." ”

Xue Li said: "Although the elder brother can rest assured, as long as the grandfather of the country can afford to be benevolent, he will not shirk his fate." ”

After listening to Xue Li's words, Cheng Chumo patted his arm with a smile and said, "I know that Brother Rengui is righteous enough." ”

As soon as Xue Li was about to speak, he heard an exclamation from the lookout.

Immediately after that, someone rang the brass bell for the alarm.

Xue Li and Cheng Chumo hurriedly ran to the bow of the boat, but they happened to see a behemoth swimming on the surface of the sea in the distance.
