Man Tanghong

Chapter 320
And it will look fake.

Such a person is not suitable to be reused.

"I will write a document in a while, and I will transfer him to Daxingtai, Hebei Province as a doctor in the dining department. You send it to him."

Li Yuanji ordered with a smile.

The Ministry of Food, also known as the Division of the Ministry of Food, is one of the four divisions of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of sacrificial vessels, animal beans, wine and food, and storage of ice.

The doctor of the Ministry of Food and Beverage is the chief official of the Ministry of Food and Beverage, and the official from the fifth grade.

Just on the boundary line of official positions that Li Yuanji can appoint himself.

Li Yuanji was also full of sincerity.

That is, the authority of the Ministry of Food and Beverage is not too high.

In particular, the dining department of Daxingtai has even less authority, which can just act as a deputy for Ma Zhou.

Ma Sanbao bowed slightly and said, "I obey."

Li Yuanji smiled and nodded.

Just right, the water boiled, and the hot air came out along the spout.

Ma Sanbao picked up the kettle and started making tea.

The technique is very delicate and there are many tricks.

What Li Yuanji saw was dazzled and foggy.

If he read it correctly, Ma Sanbao used the technique of brewing honey tea with one hand, and the tea brewed was a kind of tea soup with a sweet and greasy taste.

But what Ma Sanbao brews now is pure dried scented tea.

Nothing added except dried flowers.

Li Yuanji didn't understand why Ma Sanbao used the technique of brewing tea soup to brew dried scented tea.
Is it purely for show off, or do you think this kind of skill is also suitable for brewing dried scented tea?
Or is it because simply brewing dried scented tea is too monotonous, so adding some cumbersome processes will make it look more elegant?

"when……"

When Li Yuanji saw Ma Sanbao throwing a piece of dried honey into the teacup with small tweezers made of bamboo, he finally understood why Ma Sanbao brewed dried scented tea with the technique of brewing tea soup.

He purely brewed dried scented tea as a kind of tea soup.

"Who taught you how to make scented tea?"

Seeing Ma Sanbao dug a large piece of oil into the tea bowl with a spoon, and was about to pour milk into it, Li Yuanji finally couldn't help it.

He instructed the tea maid in the mansion to make the scented tea. He didn't remember that he taught the tea maid to make scented tea like this.

Hearing Li Yuanji's question, Ma Sanbao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and while pouring hot water into the teacup, he stirred it quickly and said, "The tea made by the tea maid in your house is too weak, and my master can't drink it." I am used to it, so let me brew scented tea in this way."

As he spoke, he handed the scented tea soup that had been stirred out of the froth to Li Yuanji, and invited, "Taste it."

Li Yuanji was full of rejection. Although he admired Ma Sanbao's way of making tea, he couldn't accept this kind of tea soup that added a lot of oil, dried honey, goat's milk, and a small amount of aniseed ingredients.

"I still like to drink lighter scented tea."

Hearing this, Ma Sanbao took back the tea soup in front of Li Yuanji with some regret, and quickly brewed a cup of simple scented tea for Li Yuanji, then picked up the tea soup, and tasted it carefully.

Seeing the intoxicated expression on his face when he tasted the tea soup, Li Yuanji understood that he really liked this tea soup.

Li Yuanji picked up the scented tea, blew on the hot air, and couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid of having a stomachache when you drink tea like this?"

Ma Sanbao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Yuanji inexplicably, "The tea masters in Chang'an City all make tea like this, and I haven't seen anyone having a stomachache."

As he said that, he specially lit the teacup to Li Yuanji, "I specially put eighteen kinds of spices in today, and the taste is very mellow."

The corner of Li Yuanji's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

The spices in Ma Sanbao's mouth are aniseed ingredients.

During this period, aniseed ingredients were not only used as condiments, but also as additives in drinks, and as medicinal materials for curing diseases and saving lives.

Anyway, there are many uses, all kinds of strange things.

The most exaggerated thing Li Yuanji has heard is to use aniseed ingredients as firewood to barbecue meat.

It is said that the grilled meat is quite delicious.

Just because of the high price of aniseed materials, this method seems very extravagant and has not been popularized on a large scale.

Li Yuanji thinks that those who use big ingredients to roast meat, as long as they use some brains and cook meat with big ingredients, they may be able to create delicacies that are popular in the Tang Dynasty.

However, he is just thinking about himself, because judging from Ma Sanbao's tea drinking habits, he is the weirdo in the tea art and catering circles of the Tang Dynasty.

It is impossible to make a fortune by making fried tea, conquering the tea art world of the Tang Dynasty, and making a fortune.

Tang people who are used to drinking tea soup with various condiments, the taste has long become extremely strong, and the taste of light fried tea in their mouths is no different from that of plain water.

Fried tea can't conquer their taste buds at all.

It's like a person who is used to drinking baijiu goes to drink thick wine.

I can't get used to it, and I can't enjoy it.

Ma Sanbao drank a cup of tea for a full quarter of an hour. After drinking it, he was still unsatisfied, so he cooked another cup for himself.

Li Yuanji took advantage of Ma Sanbao's time drinking tea to write Du Yan's appointment document.

As for Li Shimin's reaction after Du Yan was poached away, we have to wait until Li Shimin returns from Gyeongju.

However, when thinking of Li Shimin, Li Yuanji couldn't help but think of his eldest grandson, and the group of Yingying and Yanyan in the Qin Palace.

The main purpose of the eldest grandson's visit today is to ask Yang Miaoyan to go back to the palace to help her perform the Nuo opera sacrifice in the twelfth lunar month.

It is enough for her to come alone for this kind of thing, why should she bring the group of Yingying and Yanyan from Prince Qin's mansion?

Is it to show off, or is there some other purpose?
"Your Highness?"

Just when Li Yuanji was deep in thought, Ma Sanbao suddenly spoke.

When Li Yuanji came back to his senses, he saw Ma Sanbao looking at him in astonishment. Looking up and down, he saw that the brush fell onto Du Yan's appointment document at some point, and the ink had already melted into a ball on the document.

He could only put away his pen, throw the appointment document into the small stove, and write a new one.

After writing it, I handed it over to Ma Sanbao.

After Ma Sanbao got the documents, he didn't stay any longer. After carefully cleaning the tea set, he got up and saluted, and then left the tea room.

After Ma Sanbao left, Li Yuanji continued to think of the purpose of his eldest grandson bringing so many Yingying and Yanyan to Jiulongtan Mountain.

The eldest grandson is undoubtedly a shrewd person. It is impossible for her to bring a group of people here to do something meaningless.

But thinking of the time of nightfall, I didn't think of any clues.

Li Yuanji could only rush to the main room to sleep.

On the bed in the main room, there were four little guys lying in disorder.

The four of Li Chengqian, who had been playing like crazy for a long time, were tired early, and fell asleep immediately after climbing onto the bed.

Li Yuanji covered the four little guys with quilts and climbed onto another bed.

No matter how you say it, Li Yuanji is still a prince, so he won't stay up late every day after his bed is occupied.

Since Li Chengqian's four little guys are familiar with sleeping in his bed, then he can order someone to make another bed and move it in.

Not long after lying on the bed, Li Yuanji fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Li Yuanji got up early in the morning, and washed up amidst the noise of Li Chengqian's four little guys.

After a simple breakfast, he rushed to the small martial arts arena and practiced the health-preserving kung fu inherited by Sun Simiao.

In the whole set of health-preserving kung fu, there are fast and slow, urgent and slow, some need to be exerted, and some are soft.

After finishing a whole set of movements, I practiced arrow and knife skills for a while before finishing the morning exercise.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Not long after Li Yuanji ordered people to deliver his daily necessities to the gazebo, Yu Wenbao yelled and appeared beside the gazebo, followed by a group of people, each holding a red panda in their arms.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, I captured all the golden dogs in Nan Wanli."

Yu Wenbao rushed to the gazebo, and after saluting, he yelled as if asking for credit.

Li Yuanji nodded, and questioned, "It's just that Nan Wan's golden dog was caught, so it didn't harm other places, right?"

Nanyuan is a hunting ground of the royal family. There are many ferocious beasts in captivity, and there are also many docile beasts.

Big and small pandas are also listed here.

Originally in autumn, the royal family should organize an autumn hunt to sort out the beasts inside, and show off the demeanor of the military officials of the Tang Dynasty by the way.

It's just that in order to take care of his son who loves Qiu Lie the most, but has to rest in Jiulongtan Mountain due to brain disease, Li Yuan canceled this year's Qiu Lie.

So this year, the beasts in Nanyuan escaped unharmed.

"I was afraid that there would not be enough golden dogs in Nanyuan, so I made a special trip to Beiyuan. It's just that the eunuch guarding the garden in Beiyuan looked down on people and refused to let me in, so I was beaten up by him."

Yu Wenbao scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Li Yuanji gave Yu Wenbao a speechless look.

Although the eunuch guarding the garden in Beiyuan was not an important person, he was also sent by Li Yuan.

Yu Wenbao beat him as he said, and if people pursued him, they could give him a name that didn't take Li Yuan seriously.

However, this is not a big deal. With Li Yuan's capacity, he wouldn't care about such matters.

Besides, the people of Prince Qi's Mansion should be assholes, isn't that what they should do?

"From now on, you are not allowed to get rough with others at will."

Li Yuanji warned angrily.

Yu Wenbao said unconvinced: "I just can't get used to his dog-eyed demeanor. After all, I'm still a lord. He's a little eunuch from the eighth rank, so what right does he have to show my face to you. "

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao.

Yu Wenbao immediately turned pale and closed his mouth.

Li Yuanji snorted and said: "His dog's eyes look down on people, that's because he has shallow eyes, what are you fussing about with him. After all, he belongs to my father. If he sues you, can you please? "

Yu Wenbao scratched his head and said nothing.

Li Yuanji also knew that apart from being in awe of himself, this dog would show no pretense to others, and was too lazy to criticize him, "Take the golden dog to Lu Shanggong, and ask her to give the golden dogs a good wash, and then Send it to the Golden Dog Park in the manor."

Yu Wenbao immediately agreed, "I understand! I obey!"
