Back to the Qin Dynasty as a prince

Chapter 28: Fushi's Strange Story, Making Tea and Talking

A group of people from Fusu drove on a large cart and fast horses all the way to Gaonu City.Gaonu is not far from the east of Yan'an City in later generations. Of course, the name Yan'an is not yet there.

Cars and horses travel to northern Shaanxi, and see you all the way.The scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are pastoral.At this time, the vegetation in Qinbei was intact and the ecological environment was beautiful.It is completely different from what Fusu imagined.I even thought I came to Jiangnan.

But the towering mountains everywhere tell where Fusu is.

Driving all the way, Fusu felt quite heavy in his heart.Xianyang's informant's official documents about Shangjun contained nothing but small-scale plagues.

Fusu's various tentacles in Xianyang went to Shangjun for in-depth investigations, but they were inexplicably blocked and could not be forced to withdraw.This made Fusu feel even more heavy.

There are more and more refugees on the road, Fusu asks the guards to investigate.The information obtained is a lot and mixed.But it proves a fact that Fu Shi has a shocking secret.Based on all kinds of information, Fusu knew that the cover of Fu Shi was very strong, and could even rebound and hurt the person who removed the cover.But Fusu is not afraid, because behind Fusu is Shihuang, and Fusu has the confidence to win Shihuang's support on such a big issue.Compared with resourcefulness, Fusu himself is not afraid, let alone a first-class counselor like Xiao He.As for the support from other forces, Fusu feels that there is no greater support than the will of the people!

Remove the skin and remove the lid.Go and see what hidden secrets there are in Fushi and Northwest!

The first news that Fusu got from the refugees was that there was indeed a plague in Fushi.The scale is very large, at least it is not a plague that is only controlled in individual counties as stated in the official document.

The second point is that the reason for the outbreak of the Fushi plague is very sensitive.Every time the personal guard asked this question, he would not answer it.Or he hesitated and refused to make it clear.To make those fleeing so silent again and again, the influence of Pushing Hands is very likely to be very large.The influence among the people is very large and very strong.

The third point is the point that makes Fusu think deeply.The actions of the aristocratic families in Shangjun made Fusu feel strange.

These families were very active when the plague broke out.Control the people in the plague area and don't let them go out.Scheduled delivery of medicines, food, clothing and more.The actions of the government are very slow, far inferior to those of the aristocratic and powerful families.

The aristocratic family of this year has just begun to form, and the composition is also very complicated.Most of the rich families in the old places of the six eastern countries are the relatives of high officials and nobles in the past countries, and even the royal family.These aristocratic families generally have their own political goals and political demands.The background is deeper, to put it simply.That is, most of the aristocratic families in this part are of higher quality.If a plague breaks out in their place, it is reasonable for them to be active.

However, in history, the period when the real aristocratic families were well formed was in the Han Dynasty, and until the Song and Ming dynasties, the aristocratic families played an extremely important role in society.

However, in the Qin Dynasty.First of all, the implementation of the prefecture and county system gave the central government a very strong control over the local area, and there was such a powerful emperor as the first emperor.The authority of the imperial court was implemented relatively smoothly in various places, coupled with the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty.Few aristocratic families dare to act recklessly.Even challenge the majesty of the imperial court.

This made the aristocratic family in the land of Qinlong very low-key.However, fundamentally speaking, these aristocratic families are a combination of interests linked by blood.Fundamentally for profit!Everything is prioritized for profit, which makes it difficult for these newly formed aristocratic families to do a lot of public welfare~for a place without any rewards or gains.

For example, the actions of the Fu Shi family this time are very puzzling. Even the local people began to wonder why these gentlemen suddenly showed kindness.

Careful Fusu discovered a rather interesting thing, some refugees greeted Zhao'er who was treating the wounded bodyguard.This makes Fusu suddenly realize that Zhao'er is most likely the key person in this incident.Otherwise, why do so many ordinary people recognize Zhao'er's appearance?

This year is not the age when science and technology are advanced, and media information is available for everything.Even if the government is wanted nationwide, painters have to paint one by one, and post notices to let people know what a wanted criminal looks like.

It can be seen that Zhaoer should be a well-known person in Fushi.

Inside the carriage, it is very spacious.The decoration is quite luxurious and restrained, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see the luxury of the carriage without looking carefully.

The two sat opposite each other, and Fusu made a cup of tea leisurely, which was the only cup of tea in the incident.The tea is wild, and it is a fixed tea source that Fusu has found after many times of selection.It took Fusu a lot of effort. Of course, with Fusu's ability, the tea garden will be able to produce new tea next year.

There are not many entertainment items these days, drinking tea is a good leisure item for Fusu.Making a cup of tea can relax Fusu a lot.

Sitting opposite is Fusu's maidservant, Zhao'er.Zhao'er, who came in at the beginning, was very nervous, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, which was very pitiful.His chest kept rising and falling, obviously he was puzzled and apprehensive about being suddenly recruited by Fusu this time.

The method Fusu chooses to make tea is the method of boiling tea, which was the most popular method before the Tang Dynasty.It is the closest method to this era. After all, Fusu doesn't want to be weird and be treated like a monster.

"I'll teach you how to make tea, watch it." Fusu smiled at Zhao'er, the contagious smile made Zhao'er feel relaxed.The anxiety in my heart gradually disappeared, and I focused on watching Fusu's steps of making tea.

The method of making tea, as the name suggests.It is to boil the tea in a kettle.Fusu uses Lu Yu's method of brewing tea. Lu Yu was a tea sage in the Tang Dynasty and had a very high status in the history of tea.

The tea used in Fusu is very different.For one, the teas worth brewing are very finely roasted.The time, the distance from the fire, etc. need to be carefully grasped, and it took Fusu a lot of effort.

Second, after the cake tea is dried and cooled.Knock it into small pieces, then pour it into a mortar and grind it, and use a basket to screen out tea particles of moderate thickness.

Fusu first grinds the tea leaves into powder, and then boils the tea powder in hot water.

Lu Yu mentioned in "The Classic of Tea" that there are three boiling times for making tea and boiling water: "It boils like a fish's eyes, and there is a slight sound, which is the first boiling; The above water is old and inedible."

This is the theory, but the specific method of Fusu is also implemented for the first time.But the essence of it is to be familiar with it thoroughly, so as not to lose face in front of the little girl.

First, grind the tea cake for later use.Start boiling the water, put the water in the kettle and bring to a boil over charcoal fire.But it is not completely boiled. When the water boils until there are fish-eye-like drops of water, and there is a slight sound, add tea powder at this time to let the tea blend.This is the first boil.

On the edge of the tea, there are pearls of foam gushing like springs. The foam is small camellias, and the foam is large flowers, both of which are the essence of tea.This is the second boil.

At this time, take out the foam and put it in a cooked bowl for later use.Continue to boil, when the tea is rolling like waves, this is the third boil.

At this time, pour the froth from the second boiling into the kettle, which is called "rescue boiling" and "Yuhua".When the essence is uniform, the tea soup will be ready.

Here, the tea is ready.After a cup of tea was brewed, Fusu began to taste the tea.

The tea culture is extensive and profound, and tasting tea is not easy.Tasting tea requires not only tasting the soup but also smelling the tea.Smelling tea fragrance is first dry smelling, that is, smelling dry tea leaves that have not been brewed.Tea aroma can be divided into sweet aroma, burnt aroma, faint aroma, etc. After the tea is brewed, its aroma will overflow from the water, and you can smell the aroma at this time.

There are more than 20 kinds of tea sets for tea tasting, including teapot, tea sea, tea tray, saucer, tea lotus, tea needle, teaspoon, tea dial, tea clip, tea strainer, filter, pot raising pen, tea drinking cup, scent cup, etc. Among them, the smelling cup is specially used for smelling incense.After smelling the fragrance, hold the rim of the tea tasting cup with your thumb and index finger, hold the bottom of the cup with your middle finger, and sip the tea three times. This is "tea tasting".

These are all from later generations, Fusu naturally does not have so many tools to taste tea in this era.Just let skilled craftsmen make some simple tea sets.

In the mouth of the tea, the lips and teeth are fragrant.Tea is not as strong as wine, nor as bland as water.But it is nostalgic for its sweetness and fragrance.

At the beginning, it is slightly bitter in the mouth, and when the tea fragrance dissipates, you can appreciate the fragrance and sweetness of the tea.Evocative.

"Zhaoer, how are you?" Fusu smiled and asked Zhaoer who was carefully holding a cup of tea.

Zhaoer's little head nodded fiercely: "It's very fragrant and delicious."

"Have you learned it yet?" Fu Su nodded slightly.

Zhao'er lowered her head and shook her head, "Some, not yet."

Fusu let out an oh and continued: "It's okay, you ask, I'll teach you."

An hour passed.Fusu slowly taught Zhaoer all the details and key parts to pay attention to.Zhao'er is very clever, and she knows everything.

In the last half hour, I learned all the tea art and made tea by myself.The taste is even better than Fusu a lot.

"Zhaoer, do you know my name?" Fusu praised Zhaoer for a while, then asked suddenly.

Zhao'er shook her head: "I don't know, little servant girl. During the hearing period, they said they called you young master. Others, I don't know."

Fu Su frowned: "You don't need to call yourself a maid, if you find your relatives, I can give you freedom."

Zhaoer looked at Fusu in surprise.

Fu Su smiled, and continued: "However, before that, don't make tea for me, don't be lazy."

Zhao'er nodded viciously, unable to hide the joy on her face.

Fusu took up the topic: "Remember, your son's name is: Fusu."

When Zhaoer heard this, her eyes widened.Opening his mouth slightly, he said in surprise, "Mr. Fusu?"His Royal Highness? "

Fu Su burst out laughing: "Don't call me Your Highness."Now, with Qi Ze and others, they call me the son, and as for the prince, he is just a leftist who went to the border. "

Zhao'er said: "Zhao'er doesn't care if the young master is moved from the left or the right. But Zhao'er knows that the young master is a good person, and he thinks of the people in his heart."

Fusu raised his head one degree and said, "Oh? Then tell me. I want to know
