In the large conference room on the first floor of Guanghua Building, Yanhuang Academy.
The gentlemen of the academy who were sitting here heard Wang Jizheng praising this tea as the only one in the world and the only one on earth. They couldn't bear it any longer. They all picked up the teacups, blew hard, and then tasted it carefully. stand up.
Suddenly, the conference room was filled with the sound of blowing and drinking!
"Well! Mr. Wang is right, this tea should only be found in heaven! It is bitter at first and then sweet, and the taste is sweet and refreshing. After drinking, the fragrance is left on the teeth and cheeks, and the flavor lingers. After drinking this cup of fragrant tea, I have an aftertaste of the whole thing. Life, the state of life is like tea. When you taste tea, your mind will be self-evident. The tea leaves growing on the mountain and the method of brewing tea are really amazing!"
It was the first time for everyone in the room to drink this kind of brewed tea. Everyone closed their eyes and tasted it carefully. After a long time, Li Gang opened his eyes first. The old gentleman looked surprised and just listened to him. So said with emotion.
"The state of life is like tea, and tea tastes life. Brother Wen Ji sums it up well! A cup of fragrant tea can make people recall the ups and downs, joys and sorrows in life. Maybe this tea is fairy tea, right?" "
Yan Silu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
"Well, not bad, not bad. Only heavenly fairy tea can taste like this. How wonderful! How wonderful!"
"This tea is so delicious!"
"The fragrance is as sweet as orchid, quiet but not bitter. When you sip it, it seems to be tasteless. After drinking it, you feel a kind of peaceful atmosphere, which lingers between your teeth and cheeks. This tasteless taste is even tasteless!"
“With all its color, aroma and taste, this tea is as good as a delicacy!”
Xu Hongzhi, Xiao Deyan, Ma Zhou and other gentlemen in the room all sighed and praised the tea!
"Hmm! Come on, come on! Give Wang another glass of water! Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't brew such good tea ten or eight times?"
Wang Ji, an old drunkard, had no time to sigh. He drank a cup of tea in three gulps, and then asked Mo Zhong next to him for boiling water.
Li Zexuan was speechless. Generally, tea leaves are soaked only three times, because the amount of tea flavor extracted from the first brew can account for 50% of the soluble substances, and the following two to four brews are 30%, 10%, and 1% respectively. ~3%. 80% of the vitamins and amino acids in tea can be leached out in the first brew, and more than 95% in the second brew.
So Wang Ji's idea of making a cup of tea ten or eight times is completely nonsense. By then, he probably won't be able to drink it himself!
"Oh? I do seem to be more energetic. It seems that this tea really has the magical effect of boosting your energy!"
At this time, Li Gang suddenly felt that his mind was clearer. He didn't know if it was an illusion, so he said something hesitantly.
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately approved by many people.
Yan Silu said with a look of surprise:
"Huh? It seems to be true! Chief Shan, your tea can not only taste life, but also invigorate the mind. It's really amazing!"
Ma Zhou said: "Whether it is the color, taste, or efficacy of this tea, it is far beyond what Ma has ever drunk before!"
Wang Ji nodded repeatedly and said: "Yeah! That's right! Chief, where did you get this tea? Where can I buy it? After drinking your tea, how can the rest of the tea soup be still in your mouth?"
"Yes! Chief Shan, where can I buy this tea?"
Hearing Wang Ji's question, the others woke up one after another. As the saying goes, comparing people to others will lead to death, and comparing goods will lead to throwing away. Now after they drank this fairy tea, how could they still appreciate other common things in the world? superior? So I have to quickly ask Li Zexuan where he can buy it, otherwise I won’t be able to drink tea in the future.
The monthly salaries of these teachers at Yanhuang Academy are not low, and they usually devote themselves to teaching and studying in Yunshan. They do not have much expenses in their daily lives, so most people think that as long as there is a place to sell this tea, they can You can afford more or less.
But unfortunately...
"Haha! I accidentally got this tea from a friend, and then carefully fried it using eighteen processing techniques such as "shaking, tying, pressing, stretching, throwing, buckling, holding, grabbing, pressing, and grinding" .Currently, in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even in the entire world, apart from the tea leaves in my hand, no one else sells them!"
Li Zexuan replied proudly.
Wang Ji was speechless. He just wanted to know where to buy this magical tea, but he didn't care how the tea was processed. At this moment, he saw Li Zexuan "showing off his skills" with a proud face. To be honest, although Wang Ji He usually respected Li Zexuan very much, but now he suddenly wanted to punch Li Zexuan's proud face!
"Chief, aren't you trying to trick us? You gave us a taste of such good tea, but then told us that there was no place to sell it. You are leaving us with no water to drink in the future~!"
The old drunkard looked at Li Zexuan with a look of resentment and said.
He had just planned to buy some of this tea and drink it instead of wine. After all, Li Zexuan had told him before that excessive drinking was harmful to the body, especially for older people like him.
"Yes! Chief, after you gave us such good tea, how can we still drink the rest of the tea? Isn't this torturing us?"
"Yes! Yes! Chief Shan, can you ask Qiqu Pavilion or Zuixian Pavilion to find a way to sell this kind of tea?"
After Wang Ji finished speaking, the other teachers in the room began to complain.
Li Zexuan suddenly felt helpless, thinking that he didn't even have much of this top-quality Hangzhou Spring Tea. If he had known it, he wouldn't have used it to "show off". What a sin!
He thought for a while, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said loudly: "Ahem! Everyone! Although this kind of tea is not sold elsewhere, I will put a box at Mr. Wenji's place. Whenever you want to drink it, just drink it. Just go to Mr. Wen Ji and ask for it! Okay, now that the tea has been tasted, you can get back to work! Mo Chui, didn’t you have something to show me earlier? Bring it to my office~!”
After confessing, Li Zexuan quickly rubbed oil on his feet and slipped away.
The main reason is that more than seventy grown men are looking at you with resentful eyes. No one can resist it!
Mo Chui hurriedly hugged the file and chased after Li Zexuan. Oh, this guy also took away the tea that he had not finished drinking. He was probably afraid that someone would drink it secretly after he left!
Everyone in the room all turned their attention to Li Gang at this moment. In their eyes, some were eager to try, some were timid and hesitant, and some were salivating...
Li Gang, who was lying innocently, twitched the corners of his mouth at this moment and said secretly, Chief, you are cheating on me! Isn’t this passing on “hate”?
But when he thought of the delicious fairy tea, Li Gang instantly felt that if he was cheated, he would be cheated! This pit is worth jumping into!
"Ahem! Keep working. As for the immortal tea given by the mountain chief, I won't keep it secret by then!"
Li Gang straightened his expression and spoke to everyone with a serious face.
After hearing this, many new teachers couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts, secretly thinking that you are always so virtuous and respectable. Even if we want to drink some fairy tea, how dare we frequently ask for it from you!
.....................
Li Zexuan left a box of tea leaves for Li Gang, and then sent someone to send a small box to Sun Simiao, which was a small "welfare" for the medical school. After thinking about it, he sent someone to send a large box of tea leaves to the palace. , and also explained the brewing method and efficacy of this tea. This was a blatant "bribery" to Li Er!
To be honest, the reason why I was able to enjoy such a prosperous life in the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from Li Er's appreciation of talent and tolerance.
Take the incident of the Japanese princess as an example. The things he did, when he was really convicted, could be big or small. The big ones were directly demoted and deprived of his title, while the small ones were made into trivial matters. In the end, Li Ernian faced him. In view of Yanhuang Academy and his outstanding contribution to the Tang Dynasty, Li Zexuan forgave him, which made Li Zexuan feel grateful from the bottom of his heart!
Therefore, he decided to be a "licking dog" from now on. Whenever there is something good like tea, he will give a copy to Lao Li and Queen Changsun as soon as possible, so that he will be fooled in the future. At that time, Li Er might be able to remember his "old love" and be open-minded. Even if Lao Li couldn't do it, Queen Changsun would definitely help him plead for mercy!
They say that a licking dog will have nothing in the end, but if you become an emperor's licking dog, you will have everything in the end!
At the same time, Li Zexuan also sent people to notify Zheng Yinhong, Zheng Qianjun and his son, as well as Cao Wendong and Lin Wenyuan, members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, to come to Yunshan to participate in the "Tea Tasting Conference" tomorrow afternoon!
He guessed that the reason why Zheng Yinhong came to visit him yesterday was because he was interested in the business of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce! It just so happened that the land in Jiangnan was an undeveloped virgin land for Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan also intended to expand his business to Jiangnan.
……………………
Night, palace.
"Haha! Guanyin, you are here just in time. That boy Li Zexuan sent a box of tea. Come and taste it together!"
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Er saw Empress Changsun coming in from outside the hall carrying a bowl of white fungus soup, and he immediately smiled.
"Tea? If I remember correctly, hasn't the child always disliked tea? Why did he send a box to the Holy One?"
Empress Changsun put the white fungus soup on the dragon table and said with a strange look on her face.
"Haha! I'm also wondering what this guy is up to! But his tea is definitely not as delicious as Guanyin Maid's Tremella Soup. Let me finish the Tremella Soup first~!"
Li Er smiled and secretly gave Queen Changsun a slap in the face. Then he picked up the Tremella soup on the dragon table and started to drink it!
Empress Changsun gave Li Er a look with her beautiful eyes, then picked up the wooden box that Li Er had placed aside, and looked at it carefully for a while. She opened the lid of the wooden box, and suddenly a smell of tea came to her face. , then she saw the flat, smooth, tall and sharp, green and fresh tea leaves in the wooden box, and she suddenly opened her mouth in surprise and said:
"Ah! Your Majesty! This is complete tea leaves, not tea powder. Also, this tea leaves can emit such a strong tea aroma. It is absolutely extraordinary! Huh? There is also a note on it: Take a small amount of tea leaves, Put it in a cup, brew it with boiling water, and drink it after the water is not hot. Drinking it can refresh you, reduce fatigue, help digestion, and delay aging?
Haha, could this tea be immortal tea? It doesn’t need to be cooked, just brew it with boiling water, and it has so many effects on the human body. Isn’t Marquis Yongan kidding us? "
"Huh? Reducing fatigue and delaying aging? Does this tea have such effects?"
Hearing this, Li Er also raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said: "Let me make two cups, and we will know after we taste it, right? If this kid brags, I'll see if I don't deal with him~!"
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Yes! Your Majesty!"
After that, she told her to go to the imperial kitchen to boil a pot of water and bring it over.
Nowadays, honeycomb briquettes and coal stoves have been widely used, and of course they are also available in the palace. Therefore, it does not take much time to boil a pot of water. In less than a quarter of an hour, a chamberlain came in carrying a pottery pot of boiling water. Empress Changsun personally He took it and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs all day long, so let me make you a cup of tea~! Let's see if this tea has the effect of reducing fatigue!"
As she spoke, she took out a handful of tea leaves from the wooden box and threw it into the jade-white tea cup. Then she lifted the kettle and carefully poured boiling water into it. A trickle of water poured from the mouth of the pot into the tea cup. A small whirlpool rolled up, and the tea leaves drifted with the current, swirling happily on the water, but soon sank, and the color of the tea soup instantly turned into a bright yellow and clear color, which is really tempting~!
Li Er originally didn't pay much attention to the tea leaves sent by Li Zexuan. At this moment, his face finally became serious. Smelling the fragrance of tea floating in the air and looking at the clear and tender yellow tea soup, Li Er couldn't help but said: "This tea color , fragrant and fragrant, it’s really special, let me try how it tastes!”
After that, he picked up the tea cup, blew on it, took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
“The entrance is slightly bitter, but after careful sipping, you can feel the fruity or floral aroma in this tea soup, and the taste is fresh and sweet. This feeling reminds me of my early military days! The cooked tea soup in the past cannot be compared with this tea, and after drinking it, I did become more energetic. This tea is really magical! Guanyin, you should try it too~!"
After a long time, Li Er opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly.
"Hmm~! This tea can be praised by His Majesty, I must try it no matter what~"
Queen Changsun nodded. At this time, a palace maid had already poured her a cup of tea. Queen Changsun put it to her mouth and took a sip. Her beautiful eyes suddenly bloomed with infinite brilliance. She swallowed the tea, and then He praised again and again:
"It is green in color, fragrant, sweet in taste, and beautiful in shape. Your Majesty, judging from me, the tea presented by Marquis Yong'an is unparalleled in these four aspects. It can be called the Four Unparalleled Teas!"
Hearing this, Li Er put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Haha! Okay! Guanyin Maid summed it up well! This tea can indeed be regarded as one of the Four Wonders! That boy Li Zexuan has some conscience and knows how to give me a copy when he gets something good! Now let me drink it Once you have this tea, you will no longer be able to drink any other tea soup! Zhao Song sent a message to Li Zexuan that he will be responsible for the tribute tea in the palace from now on!"
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Zhao Song didn't know that there wasn't much tea at Li Zexuan's place, so he responded and planned to send someone to deliver the order to Li Zexuan tomorrow!
