Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 11 Analysis and Preparation
Chen Qingsi learned some things she wanted to know, processed the chicken in her hands as quickly as possible, and then deliberately did a disservice and kicked Aunt Peng out of the kitchen.

Chen Qingsi smiled and apologized, then found some Yangxian tea and walked into the hall as a matter of course.

An old man and a young man were chatting happily.

Seeing Chen Qingsi come in with the tea set, Mr. Peng Qi just said: "Look at me, I'm so confused. The distinguished guest is here and I forgot to serve tea."

Li Hongqing said: "This junior is not a distinguished guest. Grandpa Peng is too overbearing. I won't dare to come here again."

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Peng Qi laughed out loud and said, "You can't live without living, but you still have to try this Yangxian tea. Jiangnan has outstanding people, rich products, and a wide variety of products. We really have to compete. , our Yangxian tea in Yixing County can be ranked among the top three."

His tone was full of pride.

In this era, Longjing has not yet become famous, and Yangxian is the well-deserved king. The only one who can compete with it is the Mengding Stone Flower of Bashu.

Chen Qingsi complained in his heart, but he crushed the tea cakes skillfully with his hands, then added some grated ginger, some salt, some lard, and cooked it on the charcoal fire.

The taste is so strong.

Chen Qingsi, who is used to drinking fried tea, felt his stomach churn every time he drank this stuff, but he drank it with enjoyment every time.

This is a ritual, a habit that represents respect for the host's family.

It is not difficult to make fried tea, but in this era when everyone is drinking boiled tea, you are an outlier if you drink fried tea.

Even if fried tea is king.

Of course, if you have absolute prestige and power and let the public accommodate you, that is another matter.

Therefore, every time Chen Qingsi takes a sip of tea, she feels more motivated: one day she will have to let the world adapt to her and switch from cooking tea to frying tea.

Peng Qi's old-fashioned music must be taken very seriously, just like drinking nectar, and he even closes his eyes to reflect on it.

Li Hongqing took the tea cup with dignity, looked at the tea soup that was as white as milk, and smelled the mixed flavor of tea, ginger, and lard. Her tempting Yin Tao opened her mouth and looked at Chen Qingsi's expectant eyes. In the middle, she closed her beautiful eyes and took a big gulp like a warrior.

Chen Qingsi was really dumbfounded now.

What a warrior!

Just this taste, he could hardly suppress his expression as he tasted it slowly. How could this cute little girl actually drink it?
Is this considered drinking?
The smell of tea entered her throat, and Li Hongqing's pretty face turned red from suppressing it. She looked like she wanted to vomit but didn't want to. Finally, she swallowed hard and said: "It tastes good."

As she spoke, a smell of lard hit her taste buds, and her cheeks puffed up slightly, but it quickly subsided.

There was a smile in Chen Qingsi's eyes.

Li Hongqing glanced at Chen Qingsi with slight dissatisfaction and said to Mr. Peng Qi: "Make Grandpa Peng laugh."

Mr. Peng Qi didn't take it seriously and said: "Those who love this thing are like drinking sweet rain, and those who hate it are like drinking gall. If you don't like it, don't force it."

Chen Qingsi thoughtfully gave me a glass of cooked water.

Li Hongqing felt very cheerful, diluted the taste in his mouth with cooked water, and started chatting with Mr. Peng Qi again.

Chen Qingsi listened secretly and was shocked, even a little unbelievable.

Peng Qi Lao is a native of Jiangnan. He loves this landscape and has traveled all over the mountains and rivers.

Li Jing was interested in this when he asked him to be his staff.

Li Hongqing looked younger than [-], but she was able to praise the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan together with Peng Qi.

Many times Chen Qingsi can't even get a word in.

You can't discuss the Jiangnan landscape with the two of you in the future.Chen Qingsi could tell that Li Hongqing was not just agreeing with Mr. Peng Qi, but that he had such experience that he should at least have been to the places she mentioned.

Even if Li Derjian was implicated by Li Chengqian and was demoted to Suzhou and removed from his official position, he was still Li Jing's eldest son and his life would not be too bad no matter what.

Li Jing’s granddaughter?Even if she wasn't a lady from a famous family, she wouldn't be wandering around the world.

The two finally talked about Tongguan Mountain inadvertently.

Li Hongqing said: "The white-fronted tiger in Nanshan, the dragon under the long bridge, and Tongguan Mountain are also very famous, but I don't know how the scenery in the mountain is?"

Nanshan is Tongguan Mountain, but its name is different.

Peng Qi said: "The mountains are so majestic and majestic, and they have a unique flavor."

Li Hongqing said: "I would like to meet such a junior."

Chen Qingsi immediately said: "I'm afraid the lady of the Li family came at the wrong time, but you didn't know that a demon from the Fire Phoenix Society appeared in the mountain. Today we met the county soldiers and had a big fight, killing many people. Now the main road into the mountain has been blocked. There are checkpoints, and there are only a few secret paths that can lead to the mountain. Captain Gao of Yixing County is reporting to the police, asking for support, and the entire Tongguan Mountain will be sealed off by then."

Li Hongqing looked regretful and said, "That's such a pity."

Chen Qingsi said: "Next time, when the imperial court clears away the Fire Phoenix Demon in the mountain, I can act as a guide for my wife. I know every plant and tree in Tongguan Mountain very well. However, few people in the mountain interact with each other, and although there are no tigers, wolves, or beasts, However, there are often wild dogs, wild boars and other serious injuries, so it is not a place for fun."

Li Hongqing nodded thoughtfully and said casually: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu. I have practiced martial arts and swords since I was a child. I am more than capable of dealing with such risks."

Chen Qingsi stopped talking.

When it was meal time, the three of them ate in the hall.

Chen Qingsi looked at Li Hongqing who was enjoying the meal, and felt more and more that this guy was a fake.

After eating and drinking, Chen Qingsi left Elder Peng's home on the pretext of taking a walk to eat.

Walking in the small village, Chen Qingsi looked solemn. Now he was [-]% sure that this Li Hongqing came for the demon from Huofeng Society.

He has figured everything out. It was not that he followed his words and said that there are demons from the Fire Phoenix Society in the mountains, and there are demons from the Fire Phoenix Society in the mountains. It was his words about the demons from the Fire Phoenix Society that attracted the real Fire Phoenix Society. The monster.

Mr. Peng Qi once said that the imperial court wiped out all the backbones of the rebels, but a little witch escaped.

In the midst of the chaos, the little demon girl escaped.

Presumably the Huofeng Society themselves don't know the whereabouts of the other party. Suddenly there are rumors that there are traces of the Huofeng Society's remnants in Tongguan Mountain, which will naturally attract the attention of others.

This is also the reason why Kuang Zheng met each other on the north slope of the mountain.

The north slope is located on the outskirts of Tongguan Mountain. Huofeng Shezhen hid in the mountain at first. When he found out that officers and soldiers were searching for him for days, he would definitely hide deeper, where he might appear on the north slope.

Only people who don't understand the local situation and sneak into the mountains for search and rescue will show up here and let Kuang Zheng and the others catch them.

It is no coincidence that Li Hongqing entered the village at this moment...

That little lady was born extremely beautiful and had a lot of experience traveling around the country. She must have good martial arts skills to survive to this day.

I have also practiced swordsmanship. If I were in peak condition, I should be able to fight. Now that my legs and feet are inconvenient, it is better to be more cautious.

"Gotta make some preparations."

Thinking of this, Chen Qingsi walked quickly to his home.
