Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The sky was slightly cloudy, showing a layered blue color, reminiscent of a girl's face that was about to cry.

Li Xin sat leisurely in the small courtyard to enjoy the cool air, wearing only light single clothes. The cool breeze is very comfortable, driving away the intense heat of the past few days. In such weather, Li Xin didn't even need to make ice to cool down—a few days ago, he used Glauber's salt to make ice cubes every day and put them beside him to absorb heat.

This method of making ice in summer, Li Xin also told the servants around them when he entered the palace to greet Li Shimin and Empress Changsun some time ago. It is said that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun liked it very much and were full of praise. You know, this couple are both quick-tempered people, and they are most afraid of heat. In addition, the palace is already hot and humid. At noon, if you can have a basin of ice by your side to dissipate heat, you will really feel better.

From a certain point of view, His Majesty Li Er, who is in a good mood, is definitely the gospel of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Then, rounding it up, didn't I do another great thing that benefits the country and the people?

Li Xin half-jokingly became ashamed of himself in his heart.

"My lord, the masters in the backyard have brought the tea." Run Niang, who ran to nowhere just now, suddenly came out from the corner on the right, holding a few exquisite wooden jars in her arms.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Okay. Take out the tea set, let's have a taste."

He has already figured out a set of rough tea-frying process according to the "Tea Classic" in his mind, and taught it to several tea masters, letting them further improve and improve on this basis, until the produced The quality of tea is close to the quality of commercial tea in his memory.

A few days ago, I heard from the masters that the quality of the tea has been improved. However, Li Xin has been busy dealing with the dental office's affairs, and he also provided many important opinions and ideas in Li Chengqian's memorial about the orphanage, so he never thought of it, and only brought it up again today.

Tea is also something that Li Xin values ​​very much. In his memory, tea has always been an important commodity in China's trade with other countries. Being able to produce tea with better quality and easier preservation is of great significance to Datang.

Run Niang took out the tea set from the room. The tea sets are not much different from those of later generations, because they were originally drawn by Li Xin according to the appearance in his memory, and handed over to the master carpenters to make them. It has to be said that the craftsmanship of the carpenters in the palace is getting better and better, and the things they make are all in line with Li Xin's wishes, beautiful and strong.

Li Xin picked up the set of tea sets and fiddled with them for a while, then scalded them all with boiling water, ready to start making tea.

The jars that Runniang brought back contained different tea leaves. The method of frying is similar, but the degree of fermentation of tea leaves is different. That's right, it is the kind of tea classification method that people are most familiar with: according to the degree of fermentation of tea leaves, tea leaves are divided into fully fermented black tea, semi-fermented oolong tea and non-fermented green tea. With the complex reaction of fermentation, the flavor substances contained in these tea leaves will undergo magical changes, and finally bring different aromas and tastes on the tip of the tongue.

Li Xin had a slight choice phobia, but in the end he decided to drink green tea first by counting soldiers and generals.
