"Bah, bah, bah. This stuff is really powerful. After drinking it, my cultivation has improved a little."
When he first saw the black stuff in the glass jar, Zhou You wholeheartedly refused that it was "tea", but when he learned that the contents in the glass jar that Hua Yan gave to County Lord Luanming were part of the flower district's annual tribute to Emperor Wusheng , Zhou You felt that it was not impossible to give it a try.
There were a few pieces of black stuff in the glass jar. Hua Yan didn't explain it to County Master Luan Ming. She just said it was a small thought belonging to the Hua family and not respectful. It was also when County Lord Luanming went out that he was reminded by the maid of the Hua family that the tea in the glass jar was a tribute from the Flower District.
Among the three Earth Immortals in the Flower District, except for the ancestor of the Earth Immortal Flower Family of the human race and General Bai, the Demon Clan Earth Immortal, the last Earth Immortal is a mountain god who became an essence of a citrus tree and has been rooted in the Flower District for more than three thousand years.
The mountain god's cultivation has stopped growing long ago, so all the aura of heaven and earth he absorbs into his body is given to the citrus on his branches, making them grow extremely strong, delicious and possess magical power.
If it weren't for the power of the Red King, the old mountain god would have kept those oranges for himself.
As the saying goes, the flowers are so strange that you can eat oranges with their skins, which is used to describe the oranges produced by the old mountain god.
The correct name for the orange peel that Huayan gave to Luanming County Lord should be called "aged orange peel". It is taken from the plump citrus on the sunny side of the canopy of the old mountain god tree. The flesh is removed, and then it is dried to dry the essence of the sun and the moon for ten years before it can be produced.
The standard for tribute is a hundred years, and the entire period needs to be warmed with the essence of the sun and the moon.
Drinking it is like absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, which has great appeal to the demon clan. A sip of tangerine peel tea is equivalent to an ordinary monk's hard training for several months.
A piece of Lao Shan Shen's tangerine peel can brew eight cups of tea, and one cup of tea is about four sips of tea.
"I can't drink anymore"
Zhou You tasted it for the first time and felt very good. After drinking the second cup, he burped and his stomach was bloated as if he had participated in a big eating competition.
Two sips of tea is equivalent to a year of hard training for spiritual power. If Zhou You hadn't been a golden elixir-level monk, the spiritual power contained in one sip of tea would have been enough to break the meridians throughout his body, but two cups of tea was already within the limit of a junior golden elixir monk.
The gift of friendship given by the flower family is indeed extraordinary.
"So that's it."
Su Yan took a sip of tea, and the familiar taste and sweet feeling spread to his heart and lungs, reminding Su Yan of what happened last month. At that time, he and Sister Xi'er went to Princess Wuxi's house to feed the moon rabbit. At that time, the Lord served himself and Sister Xier with tangerine peel tea.
Su Yan didn't know it was a tribute before, so he asked Princess Wuxi where it could be sold.
Princess Wuxi smiled and said nothing, and just asked Su Yan to come to her house for a drink if she liked it.
The wealth of Fu Loli is not only on the surface, any inconspicuous thing can make a person look beautiful. Su Yan secretly complained in his heart.
………………
"By the way, can I share two pieces of Sister Junxia's century-old tangerine peel?"
Everyone was refining spiritual energy while drinking tea. After Qingya and the Medical Fairy came back, they were going to post a note saying that the Shangguan Office would be closed tomorrow and go to the Red Prince's Mansion to see the Bai Ze beast, one of the ten witches of the Immortal Kingdom.
Before leaving, Su Yan asked Luanming County Lord for two hundred-year-old tangerine peels as if he had remembered something.
"What are you doing here?"
County Lord Luanming looked at Su Yan in confusion, but he still opened the storage bag and took out the glass jar, repackaged the five pieces inside, took out two pieces and handed them to Su Yan.
An old mountain god's orange was divided into six slices of tangerine peel. Everyone had already drank one slice just now, and now there are five slices left.
"I use it to pay bribes," Su Yan complained.
It is not that there are no acquaintances in the Red Prince's Mansion. There is a certain old idler who has more than ten thousand people under him. He should be living the life of a retired old man drinking tea and playing with birds.
Grand Master Sumire may not look down on these things, but Su Yan had no intention of obtaining anything originally. He just wanted to show respect to the elderly. He just hoped that a certain old dragon would not come to torment him and others on a whim.
He had just emerged from the dire straits, and good times were beckoning to him. Su Yan did not want Master Jin to make his homework more difficult.
Moreover, with the gift, Su Yan could also test Grand Master Sumire's tone. He and others had to work extremely hard in the Flower District to get high credits, right?
"Do you want to visit the Dean with me?"
Arriving not far from Prince Chi's Mansion, Su Yan looked at everyone and asked if anyone wanted to visit the Grand Master with him.
"none!"
County Lord Luanming and Zhou You shook their heads wildly, obviously having no idea of dealing with Grand Master Jin. Feng Shiqi wanted to accompany Su Yan, but when she thought of the deeds of the notorious Jin Taishi, she shrank back behind Jun Xia.
"Go back quickly, don't stay with the Grand Master for too long."
The Medical Fairy, who was very aware of Grand Master Jin's character, directly told Su Yan to go back quickly and not to stay with Grand Master for too long, as it would be easy to get into bad habits.
Su Yan didn't feel surprised to see no one accompanying him. After all, the person he was going to meet later was Grand Master Jin.
If it hadn't been for the feeling of kindness and gentleness that Taishi Sumire gave him, Su Yan would not have deliberately contacted such a high-ranking and powerful person.
Su Yan flew through the air to the top floor of Luohe Residence, walked out of the illusion array through the stairs and arrived at the pavilion. He knew at a glance that there were wisps of green smoke from burning incense floating in the box where he met the Grand Master yesterday. Master Sumire should still be in the private room in the pavilion.
"Just come in, there's no need to knock."
As soon as Su Yan walked up the stairs, Master Jin's voice came from the box.
Su Yan heard that there was nothing polite about it, so he opened the door of the box where Master Jin was sitting and saw Master Jin sitting in a pile of memorials and working.
"You came just in time!"
Master Jin looked at Su Yan with a smile on his face, waved to him and said, "Come on, come on, sit here."
Grandmaster Sumire said, making room for Su Yan, pushing Su Yan to where she was sitting, guiding Su Yan to take the memorial in his left hand, and the seal in his right hand to start stamping on the memorial.
"Is this appropriate? Dean?" Su Yan took a deep breath, turned around and looked behind him, Grand Master Jin, and said, "These are memorials. If the corrections are wrong, His Majesty Wusheng Emperor knows what to do." You’re not going to kill my head directly, are you?”
"Look at what's written in the memorial!" Master Jin guided Su Yan to write a memorial, then walked straight to the recliner, crossed his legs, and said, "It's all just bragging and flattery, it's very boring. "
After Grand Master Sumire's reminder, Su Yan actually started to read the contents of the memorial and look at the font of the official seal.
The first memorial that Su Yan corrected was written in very elegant fonts: [The weather is fine today, and it is another day to miss His Majesty the Wusheng Emperor. Haixia City's singing and dancing are peaceful and prosperous as before. His Majesty is truly a sage. 】
The second memorial: [I love you and admire you, Your Majesty is the light in my life, the divine light that guides me to work hard day and night to govern Mingquan City! 】
After Su Yan flipped through several memorials, he took another look at the seal in his hand. It was not a jade seal engraved with "As time goes by, it remains unchanged".
Instead, it is a seal that says [Read].
"Reading the memorial once is one reading, reading it twice is two readings, and so on. If you see one with more elegant literary talent, ask me to read it too."
With a smile on his face, Taishi Sumire prepared to make a pot of tea to relieve the greasy and nauseated feeling in his heart.
County officials from all over the Xia Yu Dynasty had the obligation and authority to write to the emperor every week, reporting to her the major and minor matters in the cities under their jurisdiction, or asking for advice.
But as time went by, He Xia Yu's overall strength became stronger and stronger, and the original weekly routine of submitting letters gradually became a stage for county magistrates from all over the country to show their presence.
The county magistrates all knew that promotion or not would not be changed by a memorial, but at least they could show off their presence in front of Emperor Wu Sheng.
"There are more than a thousand memorials about business affairs every week, which makes me sick to my stomach. If I had known that His Majesty would forward these memorials directly here, I should have brought several gentlemen with me to take turns sealing them when I went out."
Master Sumire thought in her heart with emotion on her face.
