God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 16
The weather in June was very hot, and it was noon when Li Chengqian rushed back to the East Palace with his guards.

This hot weather made his mouth dry and unbearable, Li Chengqian shouted when he came: "Come here! Serve tea! I'm thirsty!"

In such a hot summer, if you can drink a sip of green tea, that would be great.

Tea was already very popular in the Tang Dynasty.As a man of two lifetimes, he misses the aftertaste of tea very much.

This is not good for Xia Tian, ​​if he can eat some popsicles or something, that would be even better, but right now he wants to drink green tea the most.

Li Chengqian picked up the fan and fanned it desperately, and the heat in his body was relieved a bit.

Looking at the nearly [-] copper coins on the ground, he felt that the money was not enough, and he had to earn more.

At this moment, Guan Lishi trotted in. When he saw the money on the ground, his eyes were full of surprise.

"His Royal Highness, where does this money come from?"

They only had [-] yuan a month, and the sudden extra [-] yuan made Guan Lishi feel a little curious.

Li Chengqian did not answer directly, but said: "Take the money and manage it well. Buy what you need to buy quickly. I see that some things are getting old. I also want to get some delicious food for our servants in the East Palace. Look at it." They are all yellow and thin."

This is how the rich have the money to live. If you don't have money, you can only live with your mouth and your trousers.

Li Chengqian has never been a miser, it would be foolish not to spend money.

Guan Lishi immediately showed a smile on his face. For a period of time, as the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, he can be said to be very annoyed, because there is only so much money in a month, and he sometimes wished that one penny could be used as two pennies. Now it is better Well, Li Chengqian can finally breathe a sigh of relief after getting so much money.

"Yes! His Royal Highness!"

He didn't ask any more questions about where the money came from. After all, it didn't matter where the money came from. The important thing was that it could be spent!
Just at this time a little maid brought the tea.

"His Royal Highness! Please drink tea!"

Li Chengqian, who was extremely thirsty, grabbed the cup and drank it down.

A strange feeling came out of his mouth, a very uncomfortable feeling.

I bother……

After drinking this cup of strong tea, he spit it out, spraying the whole floor with tea.

Because the taste is really strange, and the tea is very thick, like eating something mushy.

Also, there are some strange smells in it.

He finally understood why, drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty was not brewing and drinking directly. There were three commonly used methods of drinking tea, namely "sencha", "ancha" and "boiled tea".

"Sencha" uses cake tea, which is baked on the fire until it becomes "red", smashed and crushed, then filtered out the tea powder and boiled in water, and finally add green onion, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood , mint, Wu salt and other strange seasonings, and drink it with soup and juice after frying.

There are so many things in this tea, the original things of the tea have been lost. This is not in line with Li Chengqian's drinking method!Moreover, not only did the tea not quench his thirst, but after drinking it, he wanted to drink water even more.

This simply desecrates the way of drinking tea, which is not how tea is drunk.

His behavior obviously frightened the little maid.

Seeing Li Chengqian like this, she quickly knelt down, not daring to get up.

"His Royal Highness, spare your life!"

Guan Lishi shouted: "What are you doing? What are you giving His Royal Highness to drink?"

"Guan Lishi, no! This is freshly brewed tea! Freshly brewed..."

"Bold! How dare you argue!"

Guan Lishi is about to raise his hand and fight down.

Scared the little maid quite a lot.

"Guan Lishi! Stop!"

Li Chengqian shouted at this moment, Guan Lishi then withdrew his hand.

"His Royal Highness, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I just don't like the taste of this tea, it's none of her business! You can go!"

As if the little maid had been granted amnesty, she lowered her head and wiped the tea on the ground with her sleeves. At this moment, a pair of tender white hands stood in front of her.

It was Li Chengqian, and he said with a smile on his face, "Don't use your sleeves, go get a rag and wipe it clean."

He spoke very softly, and the little maid was taken aback when he heard it.

She had a feeling that what she was facing was not an eight-year-old child, but a boy in his early twenties, with that warm gaze and smile...

Guan Lishi yelled, "Hurry up!"

This made the little palace maid answer again and again, got up and started to prepare.

"Guardian!"

"His Royal Highness! I am here!"

"Go and buy some fresh tea leaves, you don't need too much, 1000 catties is enough!"

Li Chengqian already has a new idea, life needs a sense of ritual, what he wants to drink, he can do it himself.

"His Royal Highness, what do you need these tea leaves for? This tea leaves must be roasted before eating, or I will ask the people below to get you some new tea leaves."

"Don't worry about it so much, just go!"

Guan Lishi didn't dare to ask any more questions, there were some things they didn't need to know.

"Yes!"

Now that he has money, he can ask Guan Lishi to buy some fresh tea leaves.

The tea in the Tang Dynasty is not the same as the tea in his time.Now the mellow aroma of tea leaves, especially green tea, has disappeared from his lingering aftertaste. He once made some tea with his grandfather, and he is very familiar with green tea.

So he had a bold idea.

make tea!Sell ​​tea!This is another good opportunity to make money, perhaps more than [-] yuan, even more than [-] yuan is possible.

Guan Lishi was about to leave when Li Chengqian thought of something.Called him back.

"I want young buds for tea, not too old ones!"

The quality must be guaranteed in order to sell at a high price.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I will prepare right now!"

"and many more!"

Guan Lishi was called back and forth several times.

But dare not show annoyance.

"Invite three tea masters to come!"

"Yes!"

This time he didn't call Guan Lishi anymore, and Guan Lishi asked people to leave the present with [-] Wen on the ground.

With Li Chengqian's current situation, he can't make tea at all, because he is only eight years old and has no strength at all, so he called a few experienced people over, and he will teach them how to make green tea.

Then Guan Lishi went down to make arrangements, and the money was much faster. In the afternoon, Guan Lishi brought 1000 catties of tender tea leaves.

Li Chengqian had taught three tea-making masters a long time ago and started to get busy.

Green teas are different from black teas in that they don't have to be fermented at all, they're just roasted and can be made quickly.

Therefore, that night, under his teaching, the entire East Palace was surrounded by a lot of tea fragrance.

That fragrance wafted far away, needless to say, Li Shimin must have smelled it, and when Li Chengqian realized it, it was already too late.
