Dili is clear and clear, and people's hearts are sad and thoughtful.

The sound of the car is on the road, and the willow color is green in the east city.

Flowers fall and grass grow, warblers fly and butterflies play.

Sit in the empty hall and reminisce, drink tea and chat to get drunk.

The maids of the Chu Palace's Mansion have become busy these days.

The sky has just dawned, and the drizzle last night has shrouded the entire Chang'an City in a puff of fog, and the mountains in the distance are looming, like a fairyland on earth.

"Everyone, listen well, this picking tea, only the two most tender pieces can be picked, and after picking them, they will be put in the bamboo basket immediately."

Qing'er came to the nearest tea garden next to the courtyard early in the morning, and commanded dozens of maids to start picking tea leaves.

There are countless people in the palace, but Li Kuan asked Qing'er to arrange for a young and untrained maid to pick tea, although Qing'er didn't understand it a little, but the implementation was very thorough.

All of a sudden, the entire tea garden was shuttled by warblers and swallows.

The tea leaves in the Qingming Dynasty have just emerged the first sprouts, and as far as the eye can see, the whole tea garden is tender and yellow, and soon, everyone picked the first basket of tea leaves for a few days.

Qing'er: "Hurry up and move this basket of tea to the newly established tea workshop, the prince is probably already waiting there." ”

At the same time, Li Kuan once again emphasized the precautions for roasting tea with everyone in the tea workshop.

I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run.

When he traveled to Hangzhou in his previous life, Li Kuan went to Longjing Village to visit a handmade roasted tea; All the way up from the scenic spot of Jiuxi Smoke Tree, various tea plantations are all over Longjing Village.

Many farmers are planting tea trees and building a tea house at the same time, and they sell their own hand-fried tea leaves, which attracts some tourists who love elegance.

And the price of those teas is really not cheap, a casual pot of tea costs eighty-eight, one hundred and twenty-eight or one hundred and eighty-eight or something.

"The heat of each of these three iron pots is different, and the time required to fry is also different. The first time, you will fry it at the time I set, see the effect, and then adjust it slowly. ”

Li Kuan only knew that roasted tea probably needed three pots, and it was fried step by step, and as for what was the most suitable, he could only let the craftsmen of the palace study it slowly.

Considering the far-reaching significance of the tea workshop, Li Kuan specially asked Laifu's son Laifang to be responsible for the research and development of the core technology of roasted tea.

Although he is about the same age as Li Kuan, he doesn't have any social experience, but in the entire Tang Dynasty, no one has any experience in roasting tea, and at this time, loyalty is the most important thing.

"Lord Wang, the tea has been delivered."

Not long after, a basket of young leaves still with a little bit of dew appeared in front of Li Kuan.

"Come on, let's get started!"

There were no bells and whistles, no ribbon-cutting or anything like that, and the tea workshop began to make its first pot of roasted tea.

Prior to this, Datang's tea was generally steamed, then mashed, and made into tea cakes.

Don't look at this tea cake seems to be very low-level, in fact, only the Tang Dynasty and literati can afford to eat it, and those who are a little worse can often only eat some coarse tea.

Eating is used here, not drinking, because the current mainstream way of eating tea really makes Li Kuan speechless.

ginger, garlic, dates, dogwood, salt......

These are the most common additives when making tea, and at the beginning, Li Kuan was a little skeptical of life.

In the palace of the king of Chu, under Li Kuan's insistence, nothing was added, but the tea brewed from the steamed cake tea was far from the appearance of the green tea of later generations.

"Lord Wang, this tea is fried in an iron pot, and the fragrance is very unique."

The tea garden in the Chu Wangfu was basically purchased by Wang Fugui, and now that the tea workshop has begun to fry tea, he naturally follows Li Kuan.

"Of course, didn't you see that we are using the most tender leaves on the tea tree now? A tea tree, at most, will pick a small handful of tea leaves, which is naturally the essence of the essence. ”

"In this case, although we have so many tea plantations, we can't make much tea. Lord Wang, this seems to be a bit of a waste. ”

As a businessman, Wang Fugui naturally thinks about the tea workshop from the perspective of cost.

"Now the tea sold in Chang'an City, good tea and poor tea, the price difference is not very big. But after the launch of our Longjing fragrant tea, the price of this good tea and poor tea is a world of difference.

Of course, this Longjing fragrant tea, take the high-end route, in order to make tea a core industry in the palace, the quantity must come up, we can use a little young leaves to fry some green tea, and then make cake tea, transport to various places for sale. ”

When Li Kuan first went to his largest tea garden, he mischievously gave this tea garden a name, called Longjing Tea Garden, and naturally, the current tea is called Longjing fragrant tea.

The Tang people have a different pursuit of "incense", and the "fragrance" of Longjing fragrant tea will definitely be able to impress them.

"Lord Wang, although this tea is becoming more and more popular, but the annual sales are actually relatively limited, now most of the tea gardens in Chang'an City are in the hands of the prince, and the area of tea planting is constantly expanding, this tea is fried more, and it may not be sold."

Wang Fugui felt that Li Kuan was too radical, and at the current pace, in less than three years, the tea production in Chang'an City would quadruple.

I heard that the prince also arranged for people to go to Hangzhou and Quanzhou to buy tea to expand the tea planting area.

It's all a tumultuous flow of silver.

"Don't worry, this tea is now drunk more in Guanzhong and the Jiangnan area, but this king thinks that it is not us who needs tea the most."

Li Kuan was thinking about how to get back all the money he earned from buying wool from the Hu people, and at the same time he was thinking about whether his grassland strategy needed to be further promoted.

Since I came back from the northwest in a hurry last year, I have not cared enough about the situation in Liangzhou.

"Huh? The Guanzhong region is the area with the largest sales of tea, and we are not the ones who need tea the most, so who is? ”

Wang Fugui didn't understand the meaning of Li Kuan's words.

"Do you think it's much more comfortable to drink some tea after a meal, especially when you eat too much greasy meat?"

Li Kuan did not directly answer Wang Fugui's words, but asked rhetorically.

"That's true!"

Wang Fugui thought about it a little and felt that what Li Kuan said was the truth.

"So who do you think eats the most meat? Don't tell this king that he is in the Daming Palace or in the noble family of Chang'an City. ”

"What does the prince mean ......"

As soon as Li Kuan prompted this, Wang Fugui immediately thought of something.

"Dengzhou Mansion?"

Li Kuan's face darkened, Deng, your sister!

Wang Fugui thinks that the people of Dengzhou eat fish every day, and that is the place where they eat the most meat in the world?
