Chapter 654: Preparing the Tea Leaves
654.
Prepare the tea
Li Pojun was talking to Li Zheng on the top floor, there was a knock on the door, Li Zheng frowned, this room was reserved for Li Pojun alone, and no one was allowed to enter except for the cleaning people on weekdays.
"Who?" Li Zhengzhi frowned and shouted in a deep voice, there was a little majesty in his words, Li Pojun's eyes were also bright, it seems that hard work is to train people, Li Zheng has been a big housekeeper for so long, and he is in charge of wealth and power, so he has exercised some prestige.
A deep voice came to mind outside the door, "It's me, but Your Highness is back."
Li Pojun and the others also knew when they heard it, "It's Uncle Tie."
Chen Kang hurriedly opened the door, Li Pojun looked, and it was Li Tie standing outside the door.
"Haha, Uncle Tie is here, the trip to Jiannan has been hard." Li Pojun straightened up and said, for Li Pojun, Li Tie is not only his servant, but also his elder, as if he is a relative, for Li Tie and the others, he has never treated them as slaves.
Seeing Li Pojun, who was becoming more and more heroic, Li Tie looked excited, took a step forward, raised the only remaining left arm, and bowed: "Li Tie to meet His Highness."
"Uncle Tie is polite". Li Pojun smiled and helped Li Tie up, sat down separately, looking at Li Tie's gradually aging face, his sideburns had already grown white hair, and looking at the empty sleeve tied up on his right arm, his heart was also sour, "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, Uncle Tie has lost a lot of weight this time."
Li Tie was a little unnatural when he heard this, and said with a straight smile: "What His Highness said is very true, the Shu Road is really difficult to walk, the mountains and mountains are steep, the cars and horses are difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to walk in rainy days." After that, looking at Li Pojun's heroic face, he also said angrily: "Your Highness is becoming more and more heroic, and he looks more and more like a saint. Saying that, Li Tie picked up a cup of tea on the table and congratulated Li Pojun directly.
Li Pojun also smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Uncle Tie didn't know how much tea he brought back on this trip?" ”
Li Tie said bluntly: "Your Highness, a total of more than 8,000 catties of wet tea were purchased on this trip, and after being dried in the sun, only 2,000 catties remained."
Li Pojun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Drying? ”
"That's right, tea farmers in Jiannan and other places said that if they are not dried and transported, the wet leaves that have just been picked are not easy to preserve, and it may be difficult to transport them to Beijing in good condition, so they are simply dried." Li Tiezhi said, saying that he felt a sigh in his heart, thinking that His Highness would not want such tea, His Highness had ordered only fresh tea.
Li Pojun was also stunned when he heard this, and said bluntly: "That's true, if it is not dried, I am afraid that it will rot if it cannot be transported to the capital."
Li Tie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Li Pojun put down the account book in his hand, handed it to Li Zheng, and said directly: "Don't make a mistake in this matter, I will live on this income now."
Li Zheng also nodded when he heard this, but he had a bitter face, "Lang Jun, in that case, it is rare to take care of the affairs of the villa."
"It's okay, there is Zhu Cheng taking care of him over there, and there is nothing to do except eat, drink and Lazar." Li Pojun waved his hand and said.
After saying that, he said bluntly: "You ask people to inquire about the acquisition of a tea shop, and it is best to have workers who are good at making tea."
Li Zheng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Li Tie, remembered what Li Pojun said, nodded his head, and said, "I'll do it."
Li Pojun nodded, then got up and said straightly: "Uncle Tie, take me to see those tea leaves."
The two of them went down to the top floor, to the backyard, and went straight to the cellar underground.
The cellar was dark and damp, Li Pojun frowned as soon as he entered, and when he entered, he saw that in the cellar of Denuo, there were a lot of jars of wine, and there were many bottles and cans, and in a blink of an eye, it was a neatly stacked box, Li Tie walked straight over, pried open the box, opened the tea wrapped in oil paper, and said: "Your Highness can see if this tea is okay?" ”
Li Pojun took a closer look, the tea leaves were dark green, not shriveled by the sun, Li Pojun grabbed a handful and smelled it, and a fragrant and bitter smell rushed into his nose.
"Well, yes, it's good, it tastes good." Li Pojun took a sharp breath, sniffed the green tea, and praised directly.
Li Tie also breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that what he had collected from thousands of miles over the mountains and mountains was not what Li Pojun needed, if Li Pojun was not satisfied, then he would run away in vain, but Li Pojun frowned again, looked around the cellar, and said directly: "This room is too dark and damp, it is not suitable to store tea, and find a dry attic to store it."
Li Tie was also ignorant when he heard it, although he didn't know if it was really the case, but since Li Pojun had ordered it, he naturally had to do it.
Although Li Pojun knows the theory and knows how to operate the tea, he has not practiced it, and he may mess it up if he tries to operate it specifically, and only when Li Zheng finds the tea shop and finds a skilled old tea craftsman, can the craftsman give it a try.
Leaving the Hero Building, as soon as Li Pojun got out of the gate, a gust of wind hit, the autumn wind was blowing, there was already a little coolness, there was nothing to do, Li Pojun went back to the East Palace, in other words, although Li Pojun is the prince of the East Palace, but the days of living in the East Palace are really numbered.
Most of the time he was either in the Dragon Guardian Villa or went out to the waves, and when he came to Jiafu Gate, the guard captain saw Li Pojun's white clothes fluttering over, and couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly bowed: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Pojun looked at it, and he also had a little impression of the captain of the palace gate, this person was a captain of the palace gate who was retransferred by his uncle Chai Shao, and the previous one who was driven away by Li Pojun was unknown for the rest of his life.
Li Pojun nodded, and only said, "Brothers, have worked hard." It was to beat the horse and go in.
However, just this sentence moved the guards, and they all admired Li Pojun's back in the distance.
"Look at His Highness's bearing, call me brothers, and His Highness still has great ability, seeing that Wang Junkuo is a powerful person, he has been captured and killed." Guard A looked at Li Pojun's back, gave a thumbs up, and said.
The guard on the side also nodded in agreement when he heard this, "No, His Royal Highness is very similar to a saint, he has great skills, and he doesn't despise us.
The guards on the left and right also nodded with deep sympathy when they heard this, Wei Wang Li Tai and they often meet, that is the master who makes a nameless fire at every turn, last time I heard that there was a brother in the Tongxun Gate who coughed when Wei Wang passed by because he was infected with the wind cold, which annoyed Wei Wang, and he was beaten badly.
