Chapter 73 Chapter 75: Serving Tea
Li Shimin has long heard that Li Hao’s tea is very special. Today I finally saw it. It is really special. The tea is green and yellow, and there are seven tea leaves floating on the water. The standard configuration is seven old teas and ten new teas. If it is an excellent friend, it will be twelve. Only Li Hao himself can drink fifteen new teas...

Wang Chaosheng had never heard of Li Hao's tea making before. He picked up the teacup and asked in surprise, "Li Xiannan, is this... tea?"

"It's tea." Li Hao nodded with a smile, took a sip from the teacup, put on an expression of enjoyment, and said with endless aftertaste, "It's really fragrant."

Of course it is delicious, his cup is new tea, and it is made of fifteen leaves.

Wang Chaosheng took a sip in doubt, and his eyebrows frowned immediately: "It's really bitter."

"It's right to be bitter." Li Hao hurriedly said, "making tea is like life, it's all about bitterness first and then sweetness."

Wang Chaosheng smacked his mouth and said: "There is a strange fragrance, not sweet."

"That's because you have a tongue problem." Li Hao turned his head to look at Li Shimin, "Master Yuan, don't you want to try?"

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't want to drink, but he wants to try the poison first with silver needles. After all, this is outside the palace, and it's not easy for people to try it on this occasion. I tried it just now, and the tea is fine, so he picked up the teacup Take a sip, it's really bitter, you just frowned before swallowing it.

But after swallowing it, he felt a fresh aroma filling his mouth and nose, very refreshing.

"This tea..." Li Shimin looked at the teacup in amazement. He raised his head to praise him, but saw Li Hao looking at him expectantly, as if he was waiting for him to praise him, so he quickly changed his words, "This tea...is very interesting."

Li Hao was a little disappointed, what is interesting, too vague and perfunctory, not sincere, I knew I would not give them tea, it was a waste of chewing peonies.

After drinking the tea, everyone was not familiar with each other, and they didn't exchange pleasantries anymore, so they got straight to the point, Li Shimin said, "Li Hao, I'm looking for you so early in the morning, and what I'm looking for is what happened yesterday..."

Li Hao interrupted him directly: "Are you ready for four thousand guan?"

Li Shimin hesitated when he heard the words, and suppressed his anger and said: "Li Hao, back then you gave a piece of medicine to quell the plague and saved tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, why are you acting like this now, and you insist on distributing this natural disaster!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Yuan, during the plague in Henan, I donated medicine to save people, and I didn't suffer any losses. However, this time is different. I lost a full [-] guan in order to build this wind-powered waterwheel." , I don't want to make money for the country, I just want to prevent myself from losing money."

Hearing this, Li Shimin angrily scolded: "You are a businessman!" In ancient times, agriculture was emphasized and business was suppressed, and the order of social class evaluation was also that of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. The status of businessmen was the lowest. Li Shimin's words were scolding him.

Unexpectedly, Li Hao didn't feel ashamed at all, with a natural expression: "I was originally a businessman."

Li Shimin had nothing to say, and asked angrily: "I will ask you for the last time, will you donate the blueprint of the windmill?"

Li Hao was immediately upset, what does this mean?Just run to my house and ask me for something, how dare you growl?Being Lao Tzu is easy to bully, isn't it? If it weren't for seeing you as a court official, believe it or not, Lao Tzu would beat you up first.

Li Hao was not in the mood to chat with them anymore, but the other party was a minister after all, so he didn't want to tear himself apart. Suddenly, he remembered that there was an etiquette of serving tea as a gift in ancient times, so he shouted loudly: "Du Hong! Serve tea!"

Du Hong outside the hall was stunned for a moment. The tea has just been served, so why do you want to serve it again?

Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Hao urged again: "Hurry up and serve tea!"

Du Hong had no choice but to back off after a response. After a while, Shi Xiaoyun brought three cups of tea again. Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng were a little confused. They really didn't understand what Li Hao meant, but they were too embarrassed to ask , otherwise it will appear that they are very ignorant, since Li Hao served tea, they just drink it, what a big deal.

Li Hao picked up the teacup, made a gesture of offering tea to Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng, and said, "My lords, please."

"Please, please." The two also returned the salute one after another, although they didn't know what the etiquette was, they just followed suit.

The three of them all took a sip of tea, but Li Hao found that Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng's buttocks were still sitting firmly on the chairs, and they had no intention of leaving at all, so he raised the teacup again: "Both, please."

"Please, please." Although Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng were full of ignorance, they could only do as they wanted, otherwise what could they do?Sitting there in a daze or giggling?

Li Hao served tea four times in a row, but Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng had no intention of leaving. Li Hao got angry and shouted: "Du Hong! Serve tea again!"

Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng changed their colors when they heard the words, what the hell is Li Hao doing, trying to drown them with tea?Uneasy and impatient, Li Shimin wanted to speak several times, but he held back. The atmosphere at the scene was once very awkward.

This is not the most embarrassing thing, when the third tea came, the more embarrassing moment came. Li Hao served tea again, and the two of them could only serve the tea. Soon, the tea was finished again, Li Shimin and Wang Chao Sheng already felt the urge to urinate, but Li Hao yelled again at this moment: "Du Hong! Keep serving tea!"

"Wait!" Wang Chaosheng couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand to stop Li Hao, and asked, "Li Hao, can you stop drinking tea?"

Li Hao said helplessly: "I don't want to either. I'm bringing tea to see off guests. Who knows that you haven't left after so many times, so I can only continue to deliver, Du Hong! Serve tea!"

"Stop!" Li Shimin stood up suddenly, glared at Li Hao angrily, and said angrily, "Since Mr. Li is going to see off the guests, what good are we doing here? Let's go!" After speaking, Wang Chaosheng and Tian Meng walked out of the living room Follow closely.

Li Hao shouted happily: "Du Hong, see off the guest, and send some tea (Chen tea) to the distinguished guest by the way!"

Li Shimin's cold snort came from afar: "Zhen...I won't drink tea from now on!"

By the Qingshui River, three hundred Jinwu guards came to welcome Li Shimin, Li Shimin asked Tian Meng, "Did the Taoist escape?"

Tian Meng said: "Your Majesty, according to reports from subordinates, Li Hao sent people to watch the Taoist priest last night. The Taoist priest really wanted to escape, but was caught by the people sent by Li Hao."

"Li Hao!" As soon as Li Shimin heard this name, he immediately lost his temper, and suddenly glared and shouted, "Don't mention this person's name in front of me again!"

Tian Meng hurriedly nodded: "Yes!"

Wang Chaosheng looked at Li Shimin with complicated eyes, and then said, "Your Majesty, are you still angry about Li... that bastard?"

"Can you not be angry!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "I have never seen such a tricky, rascal and shameless bastard, who even serves tea to see off guests, send him off..."

Both Wang Chaosheng and Tian Meng looked at Li Shimin with surprised expressions, how much they expected Li Shimin to swear, at least no one had ever seen it before.

Fortunately, Li Shimin held back, he still cared about his own status, although he was very angry, but as an emperor, and also Tian Khan who ruled the world, he couldn't have the same knowledge as the younger generation, and finally he cursed angrily: "This bastard, I will get rid of him sooner or later."

After he finished speaking, he boarded the carriage: "Go back to the palace."

A team of more than 300 people left Lantian and headed for Chang'an.

At this moment, on the top of the windmill tower, there was a small window, and a figure was standing at the window, watching Li Shimin's mighty team leave. This person was none other than Li Hao.

At this moment, Li Hao's expression was calm. When Li Shimin's team disappeared from sight, Li Hao suddenly smiled slightly and muttered to himself: "Oscar owes me a statuette."

Du Hong behind him asked puzzledly: "Young master, what are you talking about?"

Li Hao turned around and said indifferently: "You won't understand even if you tell me, what time is it now?"

Du Hong replied: "There is still one hour before noon."

Li Hao nodded and asked again: "Did Lu Yun send a message back?"

Du Hong said: "Yes, Mr. Lu said that the Taoist really wanted to escape, but he has already caught him."

"Okay!" Li Hao clapped his hands and said, "You go and tell Lu Zhi to be ready, listen to my notice, and be ready to install the windmill leaves at any time, and the important irrigation matter must not be delayed."

"Yes."

Near noon, Li Hao rode a donkey egg and took Chen Laosan to Xiahe Village. The village's grain field was full of people, and it was already a mess. There is going to be a war.

I don't know who called out: "The man from Lantian County is here!"

All the villagers came rushing in, startled Li Hao, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't make noise, don't make noise, where is the village chief, where is the village chief!"

The villagers of the two villages were rushing out to appease the villagers of the two villages. After everyone settled down, Li Hao had time to ask: "What are you guys doing?"

The village official of Shanghe Village, Wu Daniu, said with a mournful face, "Master, it's over, it's over, that Taoist priest is gone, gone!"

"Run away." Li Hao said nonchalantly, "Don't you really expect him to pray for rain? You think he is Xiao Jingteng!"

Everyone doesn't know who Xiao Jingteng is. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the Taoist priest ran away. Wu Daniu shouted angrily: "The Taoist priest ran away, and the windmill was demolished. Our village is over, it's all over, it's all our fault." Yu Arita, it's all Xiahecun's fault..."

"Yes, Xiahe Village is all to blame, beat them to death, and believe the words of the demon!"

"Xiahe Village has hurt us..."

The villagers in Shanghe Village also clamored. If Li Hao hadn't been present, they probably would have done it again.

Li Hao said calmly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, I won't starve you."

Li Hao's words are very useful. The most important thing is that he said it so calmly, making people feel that everything is under his control. This reassured the people in Shanghe Village, and they all became quiet.

Li Hao waited for them to be quiet, looked at the villager of Xiahe Village with a smile, and asked, "Yu Youtian, what else can you say?"

Yu Youtian drooped his head: "Villain...the villain has nothing to say, it's all the villain's fault. I believed in that stinky Taoist priest and harmed everyone. Not only was I cheated of money, but I was also defrauded of going to Hecun... In short, everyone It's the villain's fault, and has nothing to do with the villagers, and the old man alone will bear the punishment."

The villagers in Xiahe Village shouted after hearing the words: "I can't blame Dad, it's all our fault, it's the Taoist priest we want to hire, and it's also the windmill we want to dismantle..."

Li Hao was very pleased when he saw this. Although Xiahe Village made a mistake, the attitude of admitting his mistakes was good and he was very united.

Li Hao waved his hand and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, everyone. Although you were at fault in this matter, you don't have to bear the punishment, because someone else has done it."

"Ah? Who, who bears it?"

Everyone was at a loss when they heard the words, not knowing what kind of medicine Li Hao sold in the gourd.
