Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

It took Mrs. Du half an incense stick of effort to make the first wave of hot tea.

As Li Kuan expected, in addition to ginger, onion and garlic, there were also sheep fat, orange peel, red dates and so on...

Too scary!

Du Ruyan was still learning humbly on the side. Several maids brought tea bowls over. Even Eunuch Cao and the guards had one.

This, of course, made these guys burst into tears of gratitude!

This is tea brewed by the mother of a country. Even among the officials in the court, how many can have this honor?
They worked on it with tears in their eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

Li Kuan saw the expressions of Cao Gonggong and the others, and could not help but speculate maliciously: were these guys moved or crying because of drinking...
Anyway, he saw a layer of greasy substance floating on the tea soup, and he didn't know what it was, and there was also a strange smell that hit his nose...
Crying without tears!

This dish is comparable to "Boiled Bananas in Clear Water", "Stir-fried Tomatoes with Five-Nut Mooncakes", "Stir-fried Corn with Grapes", etc., and even better.

"Come on, Kuan'er, stop being in a daze and try it!"

Du Ruhui saw Li Kuan in a daze and thought he was shocked.
The smile on that face became even bigger.

Then he picked up the tea bowl and started drinking, praising her: "Madam, your cooking skills have improved! Haha!"
Mrs. Du ignored her and continued to patiently teach Han Ruxue how to make tea.

Li Kuan frowned and picked up the tea bowl.

After all, it is the tea made by my mother-in-law. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but at least we have to pretend to make it taste good!
He put his nose close to it, and was immediately smelt of a strong smell of mutton. The smell was so strong that it made people feel like fainting!

This!
Li Kuan almost threw the bowl away!
But the person sitting opposite was his damn father-in-law, and the whole bowl of tea was spit on his face. That scene...

You don’t have to imagine how exciting it will be!
"What's wrong? Drink it while it's hot! If it gets cold later, the taste will be much worse!" Du Ruhui said.

He thought that Li Kuan had been fighting for a long time and didn't know much about tea. He had never seen the world and was intimidated by this delicious tea!
This is also normal. After all, there seems to be no custom of drinking tea in the Du Mansion. It is unusual to see something unusual.
After hesitating for a while, Li Kuan still felt that his life was more important, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, these days, regarding this, I, Li Kuan, have thought of a few points..."

He winked, revealing a look that said, "You understand." Du Ruhui also understood, his eyes slightly stern, and said excitedly,
"Okay, Kuan'er!"

He knew: Kuan'er would definitely not make a point without a purpose, and he brought it up in such a serious manner, so there must be something involved.

"Hey! Madam, how about you... go check on Changle first?"

This is to drive people away!

"Ok?"

Mrs. Du frowned, with some confusion in her eyes.

They came here to discuss their wedding which was going to be in a few days, but they haven't even started talking yet!

"it is good!"

With her virtuous character, she certainly wouldn't argue any further and just nodded.

"Mother-in-law, wait a moment! I have something here that I want everyone to taste so that you can help me think about it. It's very important!"

Li Kuan looked serious.

"Ok?"

Du Ruhui asked curiously, "Kuan'er, what are you trying to keep in suspense? Tell me the truth now!

"Tea leaves, make tea!" His expression did not seem fake.

"What?"

Even Du Ruyan was confused at this moment.

This train of thought is totally unpredictable!

Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing: "Kuan'er, you can also make tea? But what's the connection?"

"Of course!"

"The tea leaves I have are all new teas, and the way they are brewed is slightly different. As for the taste... it's hard to say."

Li Kuan shook his head.

Even with such a strong-flavored tea, these animals were able to drink it with gusto and look like they were enjoying it very much. He was a little unsure.

Existence is the truth!

Brewing tea is so popular, maybe it has a special taste?

"Get it and try it!"

Du Ruhui also became interested.

Although he knew in his heart that this kid must have something to rely on to behave like this, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

New style tea, brewing tea?
Can you have your own wife make delicious tea?
"Don't keep me in suspense!"

Mrs. Du always had a smile on her face and seemed a little impatient.

She studied under a famous teacher and has been immersed in the tea ceremony for more than ten years, so she can barely be considered a master.

Now that I heard there is a new way to make tea, I am of course very curious!
Du Ruyan stood quietly aside without saying anything. Eunuch Cao and the Muggles looked at each other, not understanding why Li Kuan
What kind of medicine is this gourd selling?

Li Kuan didn't say much, he just stood up and walked towards the backyard. Soon he came back with an exquisite teapot and a few small teacups.

Although it was not a complete set of tea sets, it was still enough. After all, he just wanted to know whether fried tea could become popular.

If even people like Du Ruhui have no problem, it is enough to prove that tea can become popular in this era and become a national quintessence.

In later generations, this tea was sought after by everyone, and it was also a major force in foreign trade and was quite popular among people abroad.
To put it more simply, it means making a lot of money for the country!

"Isn't this cup... a little too small?"

Du Ruhui frowned.

Don't we all use bowls to drink tea these days?

How can you drink from such a small cup?
"Ha ha!"

Li Kuan did not say anything. While the water was boiling, he cleaned the tea set and teacups, and then pinched a handful of tea leaves and put them into the pot...
Flowing smoothly, done in one go!
It only took ten or so breaths to cook it?

Li Kuan glanced at the extremely clear tea in the small cup in his hand.

He was a little speechless, wondering if he was being fooled.

What would tea taste like without ginger, onion and garlic?
Besides, the actions this kid just took were too casual. He just simply brewed it with boiling water. Wasn't he taking it too lightly?
Mrs. Du's eyes were also full of doubts.

She could see that Li Kuan didn't understand the tea ceremony at all and was far from even an entry level person. How could the tea he made be delicious?

Du Ruyan also frowned!

Eunuch Cao and his companions were also holding small teacups, and they didn't know how to drink from them.

With such a small amount, I can make more by spitting a few times into the cup!

But it didn't take long before the tea leaves stretched out in the hot water and were awakened, and an extremely rich fragrance filled the air.

The room is filled with fragrance!

"Try it and see how it tastes. It should be...no problem."

Golden Pumpkin Tribute Tea!

He made this tea.

This title is well-known in the tea world, aristocrat among aristocrats! Seeing him say this, Du Ruyan felt even more unsure, but she still drank the tea in the forest, and soon her eyes lit up.

The taste is extremely mellow and refreshing, and the aftertaste is very obvious. When the tea soup passes through the mouth and touches the bottom of the tongue, it will slowly produce salivation.

After the bitterness, there is an intense sweetness!
"How's it going?"

Li Kuan couldn't wait.

"Your Highness, it's delicious!"

Du Ruyan smiled and handed over the teacup.

"That's it!"

He was relieved and filled the teacup again.

With this girl's personality, she has been able to let go of her past reserve. It seems that there is great potential in the art of tea frying.

The whole room is filled with the fragrance of tea!

Du Ruyan and the others couldn't help it either. They picked up their teacups and started drinking. Suddenly, many people were stunned.

The tea soup was clear and seemed extremely bland, but the moment it went in the mouth, the flavor instantly spread in the mouth, immediately astonishing everyone!

When the tea goes down your throat, it's like sweet spring water surging in your mouth, with a fragrance as rich as orchid, mellow and rich!
"it is good!"

Du Ruhui spoke briefly and also handed over the empty teacup.

Mrs. Du's eyes were also full of surprise.

He filled everyone's cups again and they began to savor the food carefully.

After a while, Mrs. Du finally heaved a long sigh and said, "I have learned tea art for nearly twenty years in vain.

Not necessarily! At least without your tea-making skills, this tea tastes less interesting.

Du Ruhui shook his head.

Drinking tea is to cultivate one's temperament, and it is not just for the taste. One can feel the realm of the tea ceremony from the actions of the tea maker.…

This is also a superior way to drink tea!

"Mother-in-law, you can try this tea. But don't add those seasonings, because this tea already has all the flavors of life. Adding too much will make it taste bad."

Li Kuan glanced at the bowl of tea in front of him that had long since cooled down. The oil on the surface had already solidified into lumps.

It’s all white and in clumps, so scary!

"Been taught a lesson!"

Mrs. Du bowed and without further ado, took the tea leaves given by Li Kuan and started tinkering with it according to the steps just mentioned.

Bubble tea
In fact, the technique of making tea is also indispensable; after all, no matter what you do, the sense of ritual is still very important!

While drinking tea, Du Ruhui also started talking about business.

"There are many foreign envoys in Yanyun City now! There are forty or fifty countries in the Western Regions, big and small... These guys all have their own ideas. In addition, there are Gaochang, Wa, Baekje, etc."

"I estimate there are about a hundred of them!"

He spoke slowly, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Kuan, with a playful look on his face: "Kuan'er, they all said they want to attend your wedding. What do you think?"

Li Kuan said: "You can keep the gift, but forget about the person..."

Li Kuan's answer was also very simple and clear: after giving the gift, the person can also leave, so as not to stick around and be an eyesore.

If I get beaten up by those angry people, who will be responsible?

Don't doubt this! The people in Guanzhong are very hot-tempered and have violent tempers. This bravery has been passed down since the Qin Dynasty.
I will never tolerate your bad habits when I get angry!
Even those nobles and playboys can be chopped to pieces if they are provoked!

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.

Hello!
"You...you really are taking advantage of others and acting like a good kid!"

Du Ruhui also understood and smiled bitterly: "Alright! Then I will find a chance to talk to Mao Yue again."

Mao Yue, also known as Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju, was formerly the Chief Clerk of the General Tiance's Mansion and was specially granted a pardon from the death penalty once.

Also a very awesome person!

Today he serves as the Minister of the Honglu Temple, in charge of foreign guests, which is the so-called foreign teaching department.

The matter was settled. As for where the envoys should be placed after delivering their gifts,
This is what the Honglu Temple should be worried about!

It’s actually not that difficult!
According to Tang Jian's style of doing things, the worst that could happen is that he would just find another place to house these guys, give them a meal, and that would be the end of the matter.

Do these bastards dare to have any opinions?
If you feel unhappy and want to lose your temper, then go find that kid Li Qiu to vent it on.

What's the point of bullying an old man like me?

Anyway, this old man is also a wonderful person, and Dayan will not suffer any loss in diplomacy!

"Then Yan'er, you have to..."

Empress Changsun also spoke.

They drank tea, ate cakes and discussed their wedding in a few days, and the conversation went quite harmoniously.

No wonder Du Ruhui is so serious!
Who is Li Kuan?

The famous Emperor of Dayan is, in any case, a prominent figure in Dayan. His marriage can no longer be considered a personal matter.

It has risen to the national level!

It can be considered a national wedding, and it is the kind that truly attracts the attention of the world!

How could there be any mistake?

About an hour later, Mrs. Du also took Du Ruyan back to the backyard to look after the two little ones.

She also knew in her heart that Du Ruhui and Li Kuan still had national affairs to discuss!

Du Ruyan became more and more confused. She always felt that there were a lot of things involved here, but she had no clue at all.

Li Kuan, my Highness is really becoming more and more mysterious...
Du Ruhui also asked all the outsiders in the room to leave, and he and a thousand guards stood guard outside, so that not even a fly could fly in.

In the lobby,
Only Li Kuan and Du Ruhui were left.

"Kuan'er, what good ideas have you come up with? Tell me now!"

Du Ruhui looked excited.

For Li Kuan to bring this up so solemnly, this matter must be of great importance and may even be related to Gan Qiu's great cause.

The "labor reform" policy was in full swing. Although He Shen, Guo Shoujing and other ministers were busy to death during that period, it must be said that...

This strategy is extremely useful!

Labor is the most glorious, turn over a new leaf, and make amends!
These gimmicks sound extremely exciting, so even though those guys are asked to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, most of them endure it silently.

Get through it, and it will be done!
Maybe I can become a citizen of Dayan and live a good life!
Just endure it and it will be over!
Besides, the crimes they listed were truly correct. It was already good enough that he was not cut into pieces. What else could he ask for?
Of course, there will be some troublemakers!
However, with the careful planning of those "shrewd" people in the court, as long as a troublemaker emerges, he will be reported by the criminals.
