Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 56, but drinking a cup of tea can praise the immortal

Guang'an and others had already run to the side when they saw Feng Daiwen coming, but they were embarrassed to come forward, and stood there blushing when they heard Li Shimin's teasing,
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it's been a long time to take us to your place to eat delicious food." Chang Le looked up at Feng Daiwen expectantly with his fleshy face and said:

"Yeah, yeah, brother-in-law, take us to your place to play. Every day, my father asks us to read and write with my elder brother, and no one will accompany us to practice martial arts. Look at me, I am fat again, and my cousin Chong always calls me little Fatty" Li Tai said angrily:

"You still have the nerve to say that people just call you a little fat man. You beat him until he couldn't get out of bed for three days, and he didn't go to the Imperial College for half a month." Li Ke said:

"Hmph, haven't I been banned by my father for three days?" Li Tai snorted and said:

A crowd of young people chattered non-stop around the two, Feng Daiwen and Guang'an looked at each other with a smile and led a group of people towards the tea garden,

"Fourth brother beat cousin Chong, the son of uncle grandson," Guang'an whispered to Feng Daiwen:
"Children, it's normal to fight. I used to fight with other children when I was young." Feng Daiwen said to Guang'an with a smile:
"Cousin Chong is 17 years old," Guang'an said mischievously, sticking out his tongue:
"Cough, cough," Feng Daiwen almost choked on his own saliva. A 17-year-old was beaten so hard by an 8-year-old that he couldn't get out of bed. He probably didn't go out for half a month because he was ashamed to see him.It can also be seen that Li Tai practiced well, so Li Shimin only locked him up for three days, and I guess he was still very happy.

"Hehe, hehe," Yuzhang and Changle couldn't help giggling on the side seeing Feng Daiwen being choked and hearing the conversation between the two.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you take us to your place to play?" Yuzhang and Changle said coquettishly while holding Feng Daiwen's arm:
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and prepare for a few days, and I'll invite you to play." Feng Daiwen hurriedly agreed: "No, I can't do it, my hand is shaking, and I'm saying that Feng Daiwen also likes this group of little ones, maybe Even when I was young, I didn't have any bad habits of being spoiled,
"Okay, okay, we don't have to go to class in three days, let's go together, okay?" Changle pulled Guang'an sideways and said:
"Okay." Guang'an peeked at Feng Daiwen who had been smiling at him and agreed in a low voice:
The imperial garden is very large, and it is composed of different courtyards, collectively referred to as the imperial garden. A group of people went to the tea garden in a mighty manner. When they passed by a courtyard, they saw a group of court ladies and eunuchs planting. The white things on the side looked familiar. Feng Daiwen stood to watch,
"That's planting white dippers. The flowers have many colors, but after the flowers wither, the fruits will separate when they ripen. The whole yard is white like flowers. It is said that the white dippers are made of this. Only people from the Western Regions Yes," Guang'an explained to Feng Daiwen in detail:

"Bai Diezi, isn't this cotton when I go here?" This is a good thing. I didn't expect it to be available now. Feng Daiwen stepped forward to take a closer look. The white silk-like thing attached to the seed is no wonder it looks familiar.
"Let's go quickly, let's go pick tea first, and then get this white stack later, this is a good thing," Feng Daiwen hurriedly urged everyone to speed up their pace,

When I arrived at the tea garden, I don’t know how old the tea trees are. There are several very huge tea trees that can only be hugged by the arms of an adult. They are as high as two floors. The smallest ones are 4 or 5 meters high, and they are trimmed to It was a good time, Feng Daiwen stared at these tea trees in astonishment, it is rare to see such a thick tea tree in modern times, and a few tea trees that are said to be thousands of years old are similar to this.

"These large tea trees are said to have been planted in Chang'an by the Taoist priests of Zhongnan Mountain who entered the palace to refine alchemy during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the others were also donated and planted in various places in the previous dynasty."
"The princess knows so much." Feng Daiwen looked at Guang'an in surprise and sighed:
"That's right, eldest sister loves to read when she has nothing to do, and she has read many books in the palace." Yuzhang said proudly: It seems to say that you are happy, this is a treasure.

"There, it's just boring in the palace. I like to read books with various records, just like reading stories." Guang'an lowered his head shyly and whispered:
Feng Daiwen ordered people to start picking, all the new shoots of this year were picked, and it is just the beginning of May, which is a good time for tea picking. Although it is not as good as before Qingming, it is still spring tea, not to mention the ancient tea that is not known how many years old. Things that are more expensive than gold, they were affordable there before, and I have never seen them before.Even with Feng Daiwen's current disposition, he felt inexplicably excited,

After half an hour, Feng Daiwen saw that there were more than 5 catties of tea leaves in big script, so he quickly put them away, let others continue to pick them, and took the tea leaves to the imperial dining room by himself.

"Brother-in-law, is this going to make something delicious for us? Tea can also be boiled and eaten?" Snack shopper and fat man Li Tai asked happily:

"Um, I'll get you something delicious, you just wait here," Feng Daiwen thought of the world-famous snack, tea eggs! ! !

Entering the imperial dining room, Feng Daiwen called for a fire, and poured a small portion of tea into it with a large pot. As the temperature rose, he kept stirring with his hands, and slowly dried the water to let it be heated evenly. At that time, the entire imperial dining room was filled with the fragrance of tea leaves. After half an hour, I felt that there was no moisture, and the appearance of the tea leaves was similar to that seen in the previous life. Feng Daiwen hurriedly scooped them up.

I grabbed a little bit with my hand and put it in the bowl, picked up the boiled water and poured it down, watched the curled tea leaves in the bowl slowly unfurl, and smelled it closely, a fragrance came out of my nose, I drank it cautiously I took a small sip in my mouth, it was slightly bitter, and when I swallowed it, a taste of sweetness and slightly bitterness flowed down the throat, the mouth was full of sweetness, and the teeth still had the faint taste of just drinking. The taste of it can really last forever, it is much better than those red bottles of later generations, and it can't be said in the same way.

"Haha, it worked." Feng Daiwen laughed happily and said loudly:
"What succeeded? Is the tea ready? Is it delicious?" Li Tai hurried in and asked:
"I just know how to eat, I have to wait to eat." Feng Daiwen was in a happy mood, lightly tapped Li Tai's head and said with a smile: Then Feng Daiwen asked people to throw eggs into the boiling water, wrapped a handful of tea leaves in a piece of cloth and threw them into the water .Let the chef of Yushangfang, who has been watching him all the time, continue to fry the tea, and leave with the fried tea.
"Let's go, the food will be delivered later," Feng Daiwen said to the couple:
"Haha, Wei Guozhen thought you ran away without anything interesting," Li Yuan joked when Feng Daiwen came back:

"There, isn't this something interesting for Grandpa Huang, so it's been a little longer, come to Grandpa Huang, Your Majesty, Madam, please try the fried tea that Erchen just made." Feng Daiwen greeted everyone with a smile:
"Tea, what kind of good tea do you make? Let me tell you, this tea is the most suitable for my own taste." Li Yuan said angrily:

"Oh, Grandpa, my tea is different, it's not for boiling," Feng Daiwen said: After finishing speaking, he asked someone to set up several white porcelain bowls, put a little tea in each bowl, and use the freshly boiled water Pour into a bowl.

"Grandfather, come and have a taste," Feng Daiwen took the lead in taking a sip from a bowl.

"That's it? Nothing added?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously:

"Well, yes, good tea, this is the real good tea," Li Shimin believed in Feng Daiwen, took a sip, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help admiring loudly:
"Well, it's really good. It's slightly bitter in the first mouth. It tastes sweet and lingering, and the tongue is full of fluid. It's really good tea. It turns out that tea should be made in this way, not boiled. Teas that have been drunk for decades before are useless. I drank it." Li Yuan frowned, tasted it and couldn't help feeling:

"Actually, this is good tea, because it is made in a hurry, so it is not considered good tea. It is said that the tea picked before the Ching Ming Festival is better. The old Taoist said that tea is also very important, and the water for tea should be freshly boiled. My son doesn't understand this, and I can't drink it, it's just that I'm not used to boiled tea." Feng Daiwen said shyly:

"Waste, it's a waste to drink it for you, well, this tea is really interesting, just treat it as your filial piety to the emperor,,, come and put it away." Li Yuan said while asking someone to put away the tea brought by Feng Daiwen:
At this time, the tea eggs cooked by Yushangfang were also delivered
"Come on, everyone, try it, this boiled egg with tea leaves has a unique flavor." Feng Daiwen quickly distributed the eggs to everyone;

Everyone drank tea before, and when they heard that it was fried tea and boiled eggs, each of them took a taste.
"That's right, the fragrance of tea leaves is refreshing and appetizing," the eldest grandson said after tasting it:

"It's really good," said the elderly Concubine Wan Gui, who usually has a bad appetite and finished one.As for the other little guys, they had already started to eat the second one. After a while, the big pot of tea eggs was divided and eaten, and some people still wanted to eat it.

"According to the old Taoist priests, this tea actually has many functions. It cleans the intestines, digests food, and can also treat dysentery." Feng Daiwen said:
"Can it cure dysentery? Really!!" Li Shimin and Li Yuan were shocked at the same time. You must know that diarrhea in ancient times would kill people, especially many poor people couldn't even look down on diseases, but tea is cheap.
"I don't know the details, but I can ask the imperial doctor to study it," Feng Daiwen said:
"Indeed." Li Shimin nodded;
"However, there are two taboos for this tea. One is that it is best not to drink tea on an empty stomach, which is not good for the stomach. The other is that it is not suitable to drink before going to bed, as it will make it difficult to fall asleep." Feng Daiwen said:
"Weiguo, this fried tea can be easily imitated." The eldest grandson asked:
"Your Majesty, it's easy to imitate this product, but it's not easy to do it well. After picking it, you need to put it in the shade for a few days, then fry it to remove the moisture, and then dry it. Today, I fry it directly, so the taste is not so good. Best" Von Devon returns to:
"Well, since Wei Guo is already called the emperor's grandfather, why is he still called my empress? You see, I'm worried about Guang'an's dowry next year, and my hair will fall out," said the eldest grandson pretending to be displeased:
"Well, my son is willing to donate the production method, hand it over to the queen, and promote it by the royal family. It will benefit all people. After a few years, everyone has adapted to the public production. I don't know what the queen thinks." Feng Daiwen twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"Good boy, Guang'an just said that three days later, you will bring all the younger siblings to your house to recognize you. You must treat these younger siblings well, but you are still young, so don't make troubles that embarrass the saint," the eldest grandson said happily. Youyou said:

Feng Daiwen's head was full of black lines, what was embarrassment, although Guang'an was mature, but after all, he was only 15, so he had to answer.
