"Misunderstanding" Zheng Peng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no intention of insulting Li Shilang, the main thing is tea... It's a little unaccustomed to drinking. ”

Zheng Peng really didn't lie, that cup of tea was bitter and salty, and it tasted worse than medicine, just taking a sip and couldn't help but squirt out, but he didn't expect Li Linfu to salute himself and spray it on his face.

Tea has a long history in China, there is no way to trace when it began, there are many kinds of sayings about the origin of tea, the most recognized of which is the tea saint Lu Yu in the tea scripture so said "tea is drinking, from Shennong's" saying, and the function of tea at the beginning is medicine, and then slowly become a dietary habit.

Lu Yu is a very important figure in the development of tea, he loves tea all his life, is good at tea ceremony, it can be said that he opened an era of tea, however, before Lu Yu wrote the Book of Tea, the Tang Dynasty people drank tea quite casually, mainly because the process of processing tea is still very rough, the tea is bitter and difficult to eat, in order to improve the taste, add salt, vinegar, orange peel, sugar, etc. to the tea, each person adds according to their own taste.

The tea that Wang Zhongwen asked people to send was salty and bitter, and the taste was still very strong, Zheng Peng felt like vomiting as soon as he drank it, and it was sprayed on Li Linfu's face when he sprayed it out.

"Let the champion smile, this is already this year's best tea." Wang Fu, the housekeeper of the palace, said with a hint of depression in embarrassment.

The emperor is coming, the people of the palace can be said to do their best to entertain, these tea leaves are the best tea in the palace, the two Xiaolangjun are usually reluctant to drink, such tea is still bad?

Xiao Song's political talent is average, but he is very particular about eating and wearing, just took a sip of tea, immediately distinguished what was added to it, and said very fairly: "The tea is added with green salt, aged gardenia peel and ginseng, and the taste is a little heavy. ”

Zheng Peng stood up and said to Li Linfu with some embarrassment: "Li Shilang, I'm really sorry, this is definitely a misunderstanding, which frightened you, if you don't get angry, you also spray me on the face?" ”

To be honest, seeing Li Linfu's embarrassed face, Zheng Peng was in a very good mood, but he didn't laugh in front of so many people.

Li Linfu's mood was terrible, the carefully prepared plan was a defeat in front of Zheng Peng, and he wanted to show his face in front of Li Longji, but he didn't expect it to become a green flavor that set off Zheng Peng, and his mood was extremely low, and he sprayed Zheng Peng with tea when he was done.

Bullying people didn't bully like this, Li Linfu was so depressed that he was about to cry.

Depressed to depressed, Li Linfu's mood quickly adjusted, wiped his face with his sleeves at will, and said with a calm face: "Where, the champion is an unintentional mistake, isn't it a little tea, nothing, it's a trivial matter, not enough to worry about, this is serious." ”

If it weren't for the impact, if the murder was not illegal, Li Linfu would have been eager to devour Zheng Peng alive, but Li Longji, Xiao Song and others were present, Zheng Peng also apologized in time, and said that he was willing to let Li Linfu spray back his face, although Li Linfu wanted to spray very much, but he still "generously" gently exposed the matter.

If you spray it back, you can get angry, but the image of your painstaking management will be ruined, and it will happen if you don't want it to happen, so it is better to let Zheng Peng owe yourself a face, and also leave a generous and knowledgeable image in the hearts of Li Longji, Li Chaoyin and others.

For Li Linfu, as long as he can get on the throne, what kind of effort is worth it, not to mention the tea spraying his face, even if he makes people spit on his face, he can spit on himself, after saying this, the corner of his eye saw the smile on Li Longji's face, Li Linfu was secretly grateful to Zheng Peng, and it was Zheng Peng's "mistake", and he finally gave himself the opportunity to "show his face".

It's a little... Disgusting.

Zheng Peng said with some "emotion": "Li Shilang is really generous, then I can't be too stingy, to be honest, last time Li Shilang impeached me in front of the civil and military officials in the court, I was very angry, I wanted to alienate Li Shilang in the future, and there was no Li Shilang on the guest list of the roasted tail banquet, and I will add Li Shilang's name immediately when I go back." ”

"Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries, we are courtiers, are all for the emperor's life, for the Tang Dynasty, sometimes different political views are also the same way, but also ask the champion to have more responsibility, the champion is the pillar of the country, the hero of the Tang Dynasty, I am fortunate to be invited to participate in the champion waiting's tail feast, fortunately, the brother slave will not only attend, but also prepare a generous gift to congratulate the champion candidate." Li Linfu said with a serious face.

Li Linfu is really a little envious of Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng's character is too good, suave, dare to say and act, if other officials have anything to say, others say that he is naïve and ignorant, and he speaks without brains, but he can be put on Zheng Peng and become straightforward; Other officials or people with status go to the Qinglou, and sometimes they have to take care of other people's gossip, but when Zheng Peng goes to the Qinglou, everyone feels that it can't be normal anymore, if Zheng Peng is not romantic, others think that he has something wrong with him.

"The two Aiqing can shake hands and make peace, and work together, this is the blessing of Datang, and I am very pleased." Li Longji said with a smile.

Zheng Peng and Li Linfu hurriedly saluted Li Longji, saying that they didn't dare, and thanked the emperor for his concern.

Li Longji glanced at Zheng Peng, and suddenly said, "Zheng Aiqing, when will your roasted tail banquet be good?" ”

Others were promoted, and the holy decree of the promotion was received here, and the tail banquet began to be set up over there, Zheng Peng was good, he was promoted and promoted to the knighthood, but there was no news about the tail burning banquet for a long time, and Li Longji was a little anxious.

This Zheng Peng, he said that he wanted to eat his roasted tail banquet, but he still didn't take it seriously, did he take himself as the emperor in his eyes?

Zheng Peng immediately responded: "If you go back to the emperor, because you want to make a special dish, you have to ask the emperor to be a little more patient." ”

"A special dish?" Li Longji said with some doubts.

"The banquet is actually very simple, that is, it is okay to prepare the banquet tonight, Weichen wants the emperor to taste some different delicacies, and this delicious ingredient is very important, so it should take a long time to prepare, please forgive the emperor." Zheng Peng said with a straight face.

As soon as Guo Tongxiong arrived in Chang'an, he hooked up with the prince Li Ying, coupled with less and less dividends, Zheng Peng knew that the braised meat business that had been cooperated for many years wanted Huang, and secretly instructed Huang San to get a new pig farm as soon as possible, at the beginning only to buy sows, and give priority to the purchase of sows with piglets, so that the piglets born, the male choice began to be castrated in seven to ten days, and the female choice was about a month, so that you could get delicious pork, and the plan began to be implemented the next day after seeing Huang San, after castrating the piglets, At least half a year before it can be slaughtered, and the pigs used for the roast tail banquet are the pork that has been castrated.

Just took advantage of the platform of the roast tail banquet to make a hit with the new pork, and brought back the market that Guixiang Guo wanted to monopolize.

In order to reduce the money, the Guixiang Guo family transferred the property in advance, and some of it was sold, giving them a little time, so that Guo Tongxiong could reopen the stall, and the money earned was invested in a large amount, and then launched a new style of pork and braised pork in one fell swoop, so that their investment would be lost, and then they would see how they cried.

Zheng Peng wants them to understand a truth: if he can hold them up, he can naturally pull them down and beat them back to their original shape.

He is a good talker and righteous to his friends, but it does not mean that he is also kind to his enemies.

Li Longji laughed when he heard this: "Zheng Aiqing has said this, it's very good, I will be patient and wait for Aiqing to bring me new surprises." ”

This makes sense, everyone present is a big family, they can set up a banquet at any time, and this meal is not bad, Zheng Peng has done it so meticulously, which shows that he is doing this very hard, and Li Longji is looking forward to it even more in his heart.

"Weichen will definitely not disappoint the emperor." Zheng Peng said respectfully.

After the two finished speaking, Li Chaoyin on the side suddenly asked: "Champion Hou, you didn't seem to be very satisfied with the tea at this time just now, could it be that there is better tea in your mansion?" ”

Li Chaoyin is a person who is a good tea, the biggest enjoyment on weekdays is to make a pot of good tea after work, taste it slowly, Wang Zhongwen was born in a family of eunuchs, his family is rich, and he is also very particular about eating, to be honest, this tea tastes very good, just now when others were talking, Li Chaoyin, who likes to drink tea, drank a full pot in one go, you must know that this tea is much better than your own home, but I didn't expect Zheng Peng to even swallow a mouthful.

Explain one thing, Zheng Peng has better tea at home.

As soon as Li Chaoyin's voice fell, Li Longji and Xiao Song both set their eyes on Zheng Peng.

When Zheng Peng heard this, his heart moved, and he smiled and said, "No." ”

Just when everyone was a little disappointed, Zheng Peng suddenly opened his mouth and added: "However, there will be a new tea coming out soon, and I believe that this new tea will satisfy Dr. Li." ”

When he arrived in Datang, in addition to enjoying life and feeling the style of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Peng also hoped that his arrival would add some new fashion to Datang, tea is very important to Chinese people, and Zheng Peng is also a person who likes to drink tea, he has long wanted to improve tea, and he doesn't have to drink the kind of tea that is difficult to enter every day, but Chang'an does not produce tea, and he has been busy with this and that, and he has no time to develop a new process of tea.

Tea saint Lu Yu is also a Tang Dynasty, calculating the time, the current Lu Sheng is still breastfeeding and wetting the bed, Zheng Peng can't wait for him to grow up.

"Really?" Li Chaoyin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said with a smile: "Then so-and-so is waiting for the good intentions of the champion." ”

As a doctor of the imperial history, Li Chaoyin has always led by example, if he wants to say other property, he will definitely not accept it, after all, it is very important for a doctor of imperial history, but for the tea he likes, Zheng Peng, who is still good at creating miracles, said that the good tea will be accepted by making an exception.

Li Longji also said with interest: "New tea? Interesting, Zheng Aiqing, you have to do it well, you must know that Li Aiqing has always been clean and self-conscious, and never accepts gifts from others, especially colleagues, but now he takes the initiative to speak. ”

"I won't let Dr. Li down." Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded.

Li Chaoyin's personality Zheng Peng has also heard that if this kind of famous big man also accepts the tea he sent, it is definitely an excellent publicity, Zheng Peng even thought of the propaganda slogan of the new tea, "The imperial history does not accept gifts for the New Year, and only accepts certain tea."

Yes, exactly.

Xiao Song said a little anxiously: "Champion, you can't favor one over the other, if you have good tea, don't hope to leave a copy for Xiao Lao." ”

The emperor made jokes, and Xiao Song refused to lag behind, no matter whether the tea was good or not, let's have a good time first.

"Yes, yes, champion, a certain person is also a tea lover, but you can't favor one over the other." Li Linfu was not to be left behind, and immediately opened his mouth to echo.

Whether the tea tastes good or not, I will talk about it later, and the most important thing now is to dissolve into this collective.

Zheng Peng said with a smile: "How can it, after the new tea is made, the people who see it in the cockpit will have a share, and it will never be disappointed." ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene erupted in laughter.

Wang Fu, the housekeeper of the palace, was a little at a loss on the side: What's going on today, didn't you come here to coordinate the separation of the two Xiaolangjun? The atmosphere in front of me is still good, how to talk and talk, the topic has changed, and it has shifted to eating, drinking and having fun, and the more I talk, the more energetic I become.

Zheng Peng and the others didn't pay attention to the idea of a little person like Steward Wang, after everyone laughed, the atmosphere of the scene changed, and the group talked and laughed, mainly because Li Longji was in a good mood.

Li Longji is in a good mood when he hears Zheng Peng so carefully preparing the tail burning banquet to entertain himself, his heart is even more happy, you must know that this year, the Tang Dynasty has been in good weather, the crops have been harvested, and the foreign soldiers have been victorious, and even the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of Tubo have been successfully removed, and since then the western part of the Tang Dynasty has been in peace and mind, not only the Silk Road is smoother, but the iron horses of the Tang Dynasty can also go west unscrupulously, and at the banquet of the winter solstice, the Great Food Mission that came to congratulate was not only respectful, Even the congratulatory gift is twice as thick as in previous years.

Needless to say, without the Tubo elbow Datang, the Dashi who was beaten by the Datang did not dare to jump again, and the countries or tribes near the Datang saw that the national strength and military strength of the Datang were so strong, and they also expanded the scale of the congratulatory mission, and the congratulatory gift list was also much longer.

After the destruction of Tibet, 12 more countries came to congratulate him than last year, so that Li Longji was in a good mood.

That is, if the mood is not good, and the Wang brothers make such trouble, Li Longji's killing stick would have been put down a long time ago.

As he spoke, the topic naturally came to Tubo, and when it came to Tubo, the focus must be on Zheng Peng.

Xiao Song said with appreciation: "The champion is really the blessed general of the Tang Dynasty, only 10,000 people, and he actually wiped out Tubo with the power of a snake swallowing an elephant, in addition to the great trouble of the Tang Dynasty's henchmen, a certain saw those Tubo royal families who were escorted to Chang'an under the Mingde Gate, relieved of anger, too relieved, you must know that in the past, we could suffer a lot of Tubo people's anger." ”

"Yes, in the past, those envoys not only did not have enough respect for the emperor, but also made trouble and beat the people of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an unscrupulously, and when they saw the depressed looks of those royal families, they were angry." Li Chaoyin couldn't help but echo.

Zheng Peng said modestly: "Taking Tubo is all a blessing from the emperor, and it also borrows the light of the Tang Dynasty to make the people rich and strong, so don't kill it." ”

Li Longji suddenly spoke: "Zheng Aiqing, do you remember Princess Zunyue of Tubo?" ”

Princess Zunyue? Isn't it the most beautiful princess of the Tubo royal family, it seems to be twelve or thirteen years old, born with a beautiful embryo, at that time, his subordinates strongly instigated themselves to take her in, and he was a little unbearable, and he didn't want to go up and down to mess up the army's heart, so he confiscated it.

Why did Li Longji suddenly mention her?
