Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 640 Li Shimin: You call this thing tea
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help raising his eyebrows, becoming interested.

"Come on, tell me, what's new..."

Seeing that Li Shimin's interest was aroused, the old waiter immediately regained his spirits.

"The sellers didn't raise their prices, but the buyers couldn't sit still. Not only did they take the initiative to raise their prices, they even raised them three times a day..."

This old waiter is very talented in storytelling, not only telling stories vividly, but also with twists and turns, ups and downs, very like a storyteller.

"Speaking of this matter, it has something to do with Hejian County King, Yi Guogong, Su Guogong and General Youwuwei..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogong, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were actually involved.

Li Shimin couldn't help but gasped in surprise, and became even more interested.

None of these four has a fuel-efficient lamp, especially the old man Cheng Yaojin, who feels that he is at a loss when he walks without picking up money, how can he do such an outrageous thing?

Li Shimin was interested in listening to it at first, but when he listened to it, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a big event last winter.

This routine seems a bit familiar...

This is clearly the method of that brat Zi'an!
Last year, during the food crisis in Chang'an, he came here once, and almost wiped out all the grain businesses of the Guanlong Family, Guanzhong Family and Jiangnan Family.

Even now, they don't know that it was written by Wang Zi'an.

I also passed that time and fought a beautiful turnaround.

in previous years,
Thinking that Wang Zi'an was behind the scenes, Li Shimin regained his energy in an instant, and the careless expression on his face just now disappeared in place.

This dog is a master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

As long as you shoot, you have never seen empty-handed.

This time, he must be holding back some bad water again.

It's not a thing!
There is an opportunity to make money, but you didn't notify me!
Thinking of this question, how could Li Shimin sit still?

Put on your regular clothes, turn around and leave.

The old servant was so panicked that he trotted behind.

"Ah, ah——Your Majesty, where are you going, your majesty? Later, when the elders come over, how will the slaves return..."

Thinking that he was about to receive another large amount of income, Li Shimin was in a good mood, and waved without looking back.

"Let's say I'm going to rob—ahem, say I'm going to make money—"

Old servant: ...

He suddenly missed the stinky and hard Secretary Wei who wrung his neck and argued with His Majesty every day. Since that person was transferred away, his Majesty has let himself go more and more.

……

Chang'an Marquis Mansion.

The old butler, Gu Zhong, was standing in front of Wang Zi'an with his hands down, explaining carefully about picking tea in early spring.

As soon as the New Year was over, the Marquis of Chang'an dispatched people to pick tea in the south.Now, two months have passed in a flash, and the first batch of people sent out have returned smoothly with the new tea in February.

"Master Hou, this batch of new tea has been roasted according to your instructions. This is the top batch of new teas. According to your instructions, we hired a group of [-]-year-old virgins from the south of the Yangtze River in Hangzhou. When the first ray of sunlight shines in the morning, pick it carefully, every leaf is covered with dew..."

Looking at the beaming old housekeeper, who was showing his merits to the steward who went to pick tea, Wang Zi'an was dumbfounded.

ah, this—

"Did I say that?"

The old housekeeper nodded seriously.

"Yes, Lord Hou also said at that time that when the morning breaks and the red sun rises in the east, it is the moment when the yang energy of all things in the world is born. At this time, you can get the yang energy of the world, and the women in the south of the Yangtze River are graceful and poetic. Clear as water, bare hands like jade, get the pure shade of heaven and earth, the early spring tea picked by their hands, you can get the freshness of the world, at the beginning of February, all things grow, and you can get the vitality of the world, all three, that is The ultimate in tea..."

Prince Ann:  …

ah, this—

Thinking about it, it seems that I really said that, but, that was just me bragging to my little apprentice casually, and I didn't stop the car for a while, okay?
You really did this?

"Master Hou, Master Hou, is there something wrong?"

Seeing the nervousness on the old housekeeper Gu Zhong's face, Wang Zi'an nodded very satisfied.

"You have done a good job in this matter. If you continue to order, everyone will be rewarded. The steward who is in charge of this matter, if you have children who want to study, you can directly enter the primary school in the house - the fee is free!"

Otherwise, what else can we do?
Tell everyone, am I just bragging?

Do not!
Since you are serious, it must be true!
Seeing Lord Hou happy, the old housekeeper Gu Zhong also became happy, and thanked his subordinates with a smile.

"Thank you Marquis for the reward—"

Wang Zi'an waved his hand indifferently.

It's all trivial.

Just do things with your heart, anyway, we are not short of money!

After time travel, how long has it been since I had no tea?

Especially the top-quality Longjing that went to Hangzhou to collect.

Therefore, Prince An Xing rushed to have someone boil water and rinse a set of top-quality Yue Kiln celadon tea sets that had been prepared a long time ago.Even in the Tang Dynasty, this thing was worth a lot.

However, this thing is really beautiful.

The enamel is warm and moist like jade, and the turquoise is slightly yellowish, which sets off the fresh green of the tea soup beautifully.

Picking it up and taking a sip happily, Wang Zi'an narrowed his eyes comfortably.

He really wanted to say, are we drinking tea?

No, it's life!
It's a pity that even if he said it, the old butler would probably be in a daze.

Sure enough, all the experts are as lonely as snow——

Seeing that his Lord Hou was satisfied, the old housekeeper Gu Zhong was naturally relieved.

Bow and leave.

When he thought of the generous rewards from his Lord Marquis, he couldn't help feeling refreshed.Following such a master, he would be tough when he spoke in the house, and proud when he went outside.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Li Shimin rushing over excitedly in regular clothes.

"Gu Butler, is your Lord Hou in there?"

Before Gu Zhong came to greet him, Li Shimin asked cheerfully.

Asking, but also looking left and right.

"Is your wife there?"

"Yes, yes, yes, they are all here. My Lord Hou is tasting the new tea that just arrived. Madam has gone to the back garden. Are you always busy? How about I go and call you first?"

Gu Zhong knew that the wife Li Shimin was talking about was definitely not Princess Lin'an.

It's the grandson's wife.

After all, this Mrs. Grandson was the replacement Princess Yuzhang at the beginning, and the shopkeeper Li, who almost became the father-in-law of his Lord Hou, and his wife walked relatively close to Mrs. Mrs. Grandson. Send someone over to visit.

"No, no, I'll just find your Lord Hou—"

Although my daughter is very caring, don't be busy if you don't see her, it's important to see Wang Zi'an first!

Hearing Li Shimin's movement, Wang Zi'an greeted Li Shimin with a teacup, and stood on the steps waving to Li Shimin.

"Come, come, come, Lao Li, come here, come here, I'll show you something nice—"

Since the "eldest grandson" girl came to marry Yuzhang, Wang Zi'an, the old Li, became more and more fluent.

Who made my wife not your daughter!
Don't call you loud nephew, that's because I'm approachable——

Wang Zi'an secretly smiled, and pulled Li Shimin, who was a bit tangled, to sit down.

Seeing his master and Li Shimin meet each other, Gu Zhong gave a salute to them, and then withdrew.

Putting the tea bowl on, Wang Zi'an took the teapot and filled Li Shimin with a cup of newly arrived Longjing.

"Come, try my new tea, the top-quality Longjing tea that someone just bought from Hangzhou..."

"There is no seasoning at all, you call this thing tea? Is it the best?"

Although the mouth was disgusted, but the hand was honestly stretched out.

I'm somewhat looking forward to something that can make this kid show off so much.

It wasn't obvious just now, but when he brought it in his hand, he realized that the tea soup seemed a bit complicated.

Against the background of the celadon tea bowl, the color of the soup is apricot green, clear and bright, the bottom of the leaves is tender green, evenly forming flowers, and the buds are upright, lifelike, and it is extraordinary to look at.

He picked it up and brought it to his mouth, tentatively took a sip, smashed his mouth, and then couldn't help but took another sip.
