Datang first village

Li Yuanxing said that it is gorgeous, and it is definitely not vulgar to make King Qin of the Tang Dynasty say gorgeous.

King Qin of the Tang Dynasty not only represents the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, but also has the status of a star king. This magnificence naturally makes people look forward to it.

Just taking out this set of tea sets will open the eyes of tea merchants.Many people are still stuck in the drinking method of smashing brick tea and throwing it into a casserole, adding salt and boiling it for a long time.

For them, tea is just an object to earn money.

It's just like food, especially for those people on the grassland, this is food, food as important as salt.

What King Qin of the Tang Dynasty showed was another kind of tea, a completely refreshing tea.

"Father, please move your seat!" Li Yuanxing respectfully asked Li Yuan to sit at the table.

Li Yuan nodded: "The way of tea is the way!" Li Yuan also became more serious, got up and sat opposite Wu Zhao, because Li Yuanxing said that this is the seat of honor.

Li Yuanxing invited Cui Shuli to take a seat again, Cui Shuli was more concerned about the process of taking a seat than Li Yuan.After getting up, adjust the crown first, then straighten the lapel, and take small square steps. The first steps are all the same size.When he came to the table, he first saluted Wu Zhao, and then both saluted Li Yuan, and then sat down on the left side of Li Yuan.

Wu Zhao watched his nose with his eyes, looked at his mouth with his nose, and asked his heart with his mouth, sitting upright. Cui Shuli scored [-] points for this sitting posture and posture alone. It must be someone who has received great etiquette. Talented charm!

The third person Li Yuanxing ordered was the leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce.

The leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce trembled with excitement, rushed to Li Yuan and knelt down, and was about to sit at the table.Cui Shuli said: "His Royal Highness King Qin discusses Taoism with tea, you are the head of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce. You are restless and have no tea in your heart, you should step aside and recite the Taoist meditation mantra silently, otherwise you will not be allowed to serve!"

Only then did the head of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce realize that he had been rude, and immediately bowed and stepped aside.

The next three that Li Yuanxing ordered were the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce, the Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Tea Chamber of Commerce.These three leaders have learned from the past of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce, so naturally they will not lose their etiquette.Seeing that Wu Zhao was wearing a Han-style dress, the three of them were also learned people. They saluted Li Yuan and Wu Zhao with the Han ceremony, and then they got dressed and took their seats.

Cui Shuli nodded in satisfaction, it can be taught!

The leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce was a little clumsy and imitated the other three leaders to take their seats. Cui Shuli commented: "I don't know etiquette, ask, what is the way you are asking. When you go back, you should cultivate your heart and learn etiquette. "

"Thank you, Chang Shi, for your teaching!"

Wu Zhao opened his eyes at this moment!

The first step: the ruler!It is divided into six actions: starting a fire, digging out a fire, fanning the stove, cleaning utensils, waiting for water, and pouring a cup.

Cui Shuli's heart was intoxicated, and he couldn't help but elevate to a brand new realm.His heart also slowly calmed down following the movements in Wu Zhao's hands. This is the real etiquette, and this is the real way.

But in Li Yuan's mind, your seventh family said that our Li family is a barbarian.Take a look, what is this?This is more ancient etiquette than your Seventh Family.

The representatives of the four tea merchants watched without saying a word. They were learning, observing, and experiencing.

One that can be praised by well-known scholars is naturally excellent.

In the back hall, Zheng Xiuyan sighed: "I really want to learn, learning this way will surely make His Highness happy!" The other six girls did not speak, and each had their own thoughts.Cui Yingying was thinking, after learning this, it will not only make His Royal Highness King Qin happy, but if she puts it in the poetry meeting, it is guaranteed to shock the audience.

Wu Zhao spent more than ten minutes on the first step.

And the second step: get tea!Put the tea on the white paper for appreciation by the tea drinkers.

Naturally, those present here have never seen this tea before, but no one opened their mouths. They don't understand and just observe silently.

Next, Wu Zhao kept talking about the process of waiting for the soup, washing the tea, and brewing the tea. Naturally, these were very particular, and Wu Zhao explained this process in poetic ways.

Du Yiye was at the side, taking notes quickly with a pen, for fear that he might miss a word.

Just when everyone thought it was time to drink tea, they didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

Going down, the sixth, seventh, and eighth steps, scraping the foam, pouring the pot, and scalding the cup, Wu Zhao made another remark, Cui Shuli couldn't help nodding, this is the etiquette, there is nothing wrong, this is the Chinese etiquette .As His Royal Highness King Qin said, this is the Tao.The way of tea!

"Smell the fragrance! Wu Zhao handed Gai Ou to Li Yuan with his own hands. Li Yuan took a deep breath and praised, "It smells so good, so good tea! "

Cui Shuli heard about it and wrote a poem on the spot, but Li Yuanxing didn't understand a word.

Step [-] After pouring the tea, it’s finally time for the tea tasting.

"Han Xin orders troops!" Wu Zhao poured six cups of tea, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Li Yuan drank and remained silent.Cui Shuli drank it, but also remained silent.The four tea merchants drank it, and it was the same, they were silent.The six people sat there silently, without saying a word.

Take back the empty teacup and brew again for the second time.

Seven brews of tea.Wu Zhao showed a variety of ways to pour tea, Guan Gong toured the city, Zhaojun went out of the fortress, and the unity of man and nature!

After seven soaks, Wu Zhao washed the pot and started to pack the utensils, the movements were still so slow and graceful.

But the six tea drinkers were exactly the same, they all sat there motionless and silent.

The people watching from the outside are really anxious, what is the taste of tea, and what does it feel like to drink this tea.Because these people can't get close, I'm really anxious.

The seven daughters in the back hall became quiet instead, because they are the future Princess Qin, and they can drink this kind of tea often in the future.

After Wu Zhao cleaned up, he bowed and sat back straight!

Li Yuanxing said softly at this time: "Tea has seven meanings and one heart, and the seven meanings are: tea art, tea virtue, tea ceremony, tea theory, tea love, tea theory, and tea guidance; It can be called the tea ceremony. This is the end of today, and tomorrow the king is waiting here!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanxing picked up Wu Zhao: "You are tired!"

Wu Zhao nodded slightly, his head was covered with beads of sweat.

Li Yuan reached out to help the table and stood up: "Get up and drive back to the palace, I will come again tomorrow!" After speaking, Li Yuan and Li Yuanxing turned around and left without even saying hello.Li Yuanxing couldn't guess what he was thinking.It's just that it can be felt that Li Yuan's impact is definitely not small.

Cui Shuli also stood up and bowed to Li Yuanxing: "Your Majesty is sure that His Royal Highness will send out invitations tomorrow, and Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites should invite him, and Cui Shangshu from the Ministry of Household Affairs should invite you. Learned people should come to see the way of tea." .”

"You go and arrange it, you decide the list. Don't touch anything here, don't touch the tea on my table."

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he walked towards the back hall with Wu Zhao in his arms.Seeing the seven daughters, Li Yuanxing smiled and said, "Go to the king's small meeting room." After finishing speaking, he said to the seven stewards: "Tea is the way, and this is also a business opportunity. Think about it, seven of you, go back and give it to your family." Master also talk about it, it counts as much as they understand!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The seven stewards bowed deeply.

Li Yuanxing took the seven future princesses of Qin to the small meeting room, where a lunch was naturally prepared.

In the hall, the leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce was the first to stand up, stepped back a few steps towards the seat where Wu Zhao was sitting, and then knelt down and kowtowed heavily, hitting the floor with a thud.

"So-and-so, I just found out today that so-and-so insulted tea!"

The head of the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce got up and helped him up: "What you said is very true, everyone present has insulted tea. I have a profound knowledge of China, and today I will be able to see what tea is. This is His Highness preaching To be more philistine, it is also a business opportunity His Highness bestowed on us."

After finishing speaking, the head of the Changan Tea Chamber of Commerce picked up the tea that he had just shown them, put a piece of dry tea leaf into his mouth, tasted it and said with a smile: "Be prepared when you go back. Tomorrow will be the real excitement. Admit it, today is rude, I should go back to take a bath and fast, and come to understand the way of tea tomorrow!"

All the tea merchants said yes one after another.

At this moment, while everyone was walking out, a businessman from a company reached out and secretly put a few pieces of tea leaves in the small plate of Longjing tea on display.

A businessman next to him saw it and whispered, "Do you want to change your career?"

The businessman was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted, and quickly put the few pieces of tea back.

Du Yiye quickly wrote down the name of the businessman on the paper. Just now, the guards had already winked and asked.Du Yiye didn't think it was necessary to take it for such a trivial matter, although His Highness said that no one was allowed to touch his tea leaves.

It is natural for a businessman to pursue profit.

Although he was not punished, Du Yiye still wrote down the businessman so that he could report to Li Yuanxing at the right time.

On the other side, Li Yuanxing invited the seven girls to have lunch together.

"Your Highness, can you teach us the way of tea?"

"Okay, I'll teach you one, my favorite way." Li Yuanxing got up, went to the shelf to get a large glass, and then dug out a tube of tea: "This is Longjing's sparrow grade. The king likes it."

Li Yuanxing reached out and grabbed a handful of tea leaves and poured them into the cup, without Wu Zhao's elegance at all.

Then, he lifted a thermos bottle from the ground and filled the glass with one stroke.A big cup, a lot of tea leaves, and then a lot of water.Li Yuanxing put the cup on the table with a smile: "It will cool down in a while, and drink it in a big gulp. This is my king's way of drinking peony!"

The seventh girl was taken aback for a moment, but then all laughed.

They only thought that His Highness King Qin was joking, but they didn't know that Li Yuanxing really drank like this.

In the words of the cabinet master, Li Yuanxing would be good enough to drink the ten yuan one or two, and it would be a waste for Li Yuanxing to drink more expensive tea.

Wu Zhao understood everything, but he didn't say anything.He signaled Yuan Chun to divide the big cup into small cups and poured them among the girls, then winked at Li Yuanxing.Li Yuanxing had no choice but to say: "The tea ceremony will soon become a kind of art learned by the gentry. If you don't know the tea ceremony, you will be inferior to others when you go out. It's just that what the king wants to do is business." (To be continued.)
