Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" records: "Tea is made from Shennong and heard from Duke Zhou of Lu", which shows that China has used tea for at least 4,000 years. However, after the Spring and Autumn Period, until the Han Dynasty, tea had a few hundred years of dynasties. After the end of the Han Dynasty, the two Jin Dynasties and northern and southern admired Qingxu, and the gentry and scholars talked about it and enjoyed tea. So tea gradually became a popular symbol and began to enter the public's vision. At that time, there were more and more records about drinking tea, such as the "Biography of Wu Lao in Guangling" said: "During the Yuan Dynasty of Jin, there was an old man who brought up a single utensil every time, and he stayed in the market and bought it." It can be seen that drinking tea is no longer a rare thing.

However, the way of drinking tea is simple and crude. It is to crush the tea leaves into powder and pour it into boiling water, and add some condiments such as salt, green onion, ginger, and garlic. It is clearly vegetable soup when you drink it. Where is tea? After the Tang Dynasty, it has been a little progressive. Only salt and ginger are added, and other seasonings are very clever. Then, when the Song Dynasty started to make tea, various condiments finally left the stage of tea, retaining the aroma and quality of the tea itself.

From this we can see that people's understanding of tea has gone through a lengthy process. After careful consideration, Xu You did not intend to directly use the method of stir-frying in the Ming Dynasty, but instead used the method of steaming green in the Tang Dynasty to improve the current tea drinking habits in the first step.

It is not difficult to steam green. Lu Yu’s narration is very detailed: pick it, steam it, pound it, beat it, bake it, penetrate it, seal it, and the tea is dry. Based on Xu You’s understanding and discussing it with the old tea farmers, the theory and practice were combined with practice to determine the order of steaming green method: steaming tea, unpacking, pounding tea, filling, slapping, pressing, molding, rolling tea, drying, perforating, baking, forming, sealing tea.

Then I started the experiment. At first, I failed without any accidents. The heat and technique were not in place, which caused the tea aroma to be too much and the tasteless. It was not as good as the tea soup before. Therefore, some tea farmers actively suggested putting seasonings into the tea, but Xu You refused sternly.

As a tea-tasting expert who traveled through time in later generations, he really couldn't accept the method of putting seasonings in tea, and this trend must be changed.

"Continue! I don't believe it can't be created!"

"Isn't the prince bullying the Lu family?"

Gu Yun visited Lu and told the conditions offered by Xu You. Lu Zong, Zhou and Lu Ding'an and others didn't say anything. Lu Dingxian, who was about the same age as Lu Xu but was a generation older than Lu Xu, was furious and said, "With Xu You's ambition, Xuanji Academy must have a grand regulation. It is a blessing to be able to be built in three to five years. Moreover, it is a limited number of two months to complete, and the use must be increased several times... Uncle, Sixth Brother, this is a bottomless abyss. How much does it cost to fill it?"

Gu Yun said in a deep voice: "Uncle Seventeen, Qingfu was murderous because of the struggle for literature. The gentleman despised everything he did and should be severely punished according to the law. Fortunately, he was very reasonable and divided into the relationship between Gu Lu and the two families. He was not blamed for the past and was magnanimous. How could he deceive others? Furthermore, donating to build Xuanji Academy and revitalizing the Confucian school is also a righteous act that benefits the country and the people..."

"Severe punishment? How to severely punish? Kill Huang San and eliminate him for six days. Kill Xu You, but Xu You did not die, at most he was considered malicious. But Qing Fu is not a saint, and he is malicious and does not violate the law. Isn't Xu You's wild and unruly and provokes Qing Fu for many times, which will cause a disaster for the death?"

Gu Yun remained silent.

Lu Dingxian and Lu Xu are close to each other, but their fame is very different. He is full of righteous indignation at this time. He seems to be talking to Lu Xu, but in fact he deliberately wants to ruin him. Gu Yun is too lazy to join in the dirty family. Anyway, the one who made the final decision was Lu Zongzhou. No matter how happy Lu Dingxian called, he was just a buzzing fly, which was useless.

After a while, Lu Zongzhou smiled and said, "Just do what Xu You said. My old bone has been resting for too long, so it's time to move..."

"Uncle!"

Lu Dingxian wanted to persuade him again. Lu Zongzhou smiled and said, "Building academy is a great success. All scholars should support it. Xian'er should not argue! Ding'an, you will go to Qiantang in the next two days, meet Xu You first and talk about your general ideas. As long as the system does not exceed the rules, all the expenses of Xuanji Academy will be responsible for by Lu."

Lu Ding'an said: "Two months?"

"Why, you can't do it?"

Lu Ding'an hurriedly stood up and said, "I will definitely do it!"

When he sent Gu Yun away, Lu Dingxian squinted his eyes and said sneeringly: "Premier Gu, don't forget that your surname is Gu, and you will be the son-in-law of the Lu family immediately. Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang are one of the four surnames. For a child who cannot be promoted, he has to plunder so much money from the Lu family and has to lose his uncle's face. He is too partial..."

Gu Yun naturally heard the rumors outside, his handsome face as beautiful as a woman, and his face was not as good as anger. He put his hands on his back, and said calmly: "Uncle Seventeen, the four surnames are one, I am a junior, I can't do anything to you. I pretend that I didn't hear your nonsense today, but," he suddenly turned around, his eyes were majestic, and said: "If there is next time, I can guarantee that even if Qingfu becomes a useless person from now on, you will never be able to stand out in the Lu family! Remember!"

"You...you!"

Lu Dingxian's face turned pale, but after he opened his mouth, he didn't dare to say anything too much. As the next generation leader who is most popular among the four surnames of Wujun, Gu Yun, he can't afford to offend him!

What's more, this stupid fool who used to only know how to draw has now had a bit of power as a superior person, which is deterrent and dare not disobey.

When Gu Yun's ox cart left, Lu Dingxian then punched the rich gang in anger, his eyebrows and eyes were terrible. He hated Gu Yun and himself. As an elder, he was suppressed by a young boy and didn't even dare to say anything to refute. This was a great humiliation. If he did not repay him, he would not be a human being!

After more than ten days, Xu You did not show up. Lu Ding'an also avoided seeing him when he came to Qiantang. He Ru accompanied all the activities and went around Lingxiu Mountain, more than ten miles away from Mingyu Mountain. After looking at the construction drawings required for construction, even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Ding'an was also shocked by the scale of Xuanji Academy.

"Hangjun He, have you calculated the cost of the construction?"

He Ru called Ji Qinghe and signaled him to give him an answer. Ji Qinghe took out a thick stack of books and said, "If it becomes a prototype, it will probably cost tens of millions of dollars; if it sees clues, it will cost two or three millions of dollars; if it has momentum, it will at least cost fifty millions of dollars!"

Lu Ding'an sat for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Mr. He Lang, I have made a good debt!"

A few days later, Lu Xu was finally released from prison safely. Xu You never asked what agreement did the Cold Husi and Lu family reach. Anyway, from the joy in Wang Fu's letter, we can tell that this time the quarrel was quite rewarding. The letter also said that Lu Xu's knees were broken, and whether he could walk in the future depends on luck. It would take at least one or two years to treat and recover. Lu Dingxian was the one who received him out of prison. Seeing Lu Xu's miserable situation and said a few inappropriate words, Wang Fu said that he would pay attention to this person privately, so that Xu You would rest assured that there would be no unpredictable consequences.

Zhu Zhi's letter arrived at Mingyu Mountain almost at the same time as Wang Fu's letter. Compared to Wang Fu's secret joy that could not be hidden between the lines, Zhu Zhi's letter seemed much more rational and mature. He first expressed concern about Xu You's assassination, and then praised his tolerance. However, the focus of the letter was not on the conflict with the Lu family, but on several key suggestions for Xuanji Academy. All of these issues were mature and steadfast words, flashing with wisdom and understanding of the world. It can be seen that Zhu Zhi was really concerned about Xu You, not perfunctory.

Xu You wrote a reply letter, reminding Wang Fu to take care of Li Xianji, and talked to Zhu Zhishen about his plans for Xuanji Academy, and then quickly put these things away. For more than a month, he lived in the same room with the tea farmers day and night. Finally, before Gu Yun's wedding, he made the first generation of tea made with the steamed green method. Both the fragrance and taste were countless times more delicious than the current popular raw tea. At the same time, the mold cast by Tiangongfang turned the loose tea into tea bricks and named it Qingque Tongue. More than a hundred bricks were packed with large breams, and went upstream to Wuxian.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Gu Yun was about to get married, and Xu You left for the first day of the day and went to Wuxian to prepare for the wedding.

This was the first wedding that Xu You attended after rebirth. Many etiquettes have been practiced in Mingyu Mountain many times to avoid showing off his bad luck and smashing Xu Jiudou's signature.

At the same time, those who followed him were Qingming, Winter Solstice, Fang Sinian and Hexi Chounu. When he was about to go down the mountain, Yu Tu hugged Chounu for a long time. In the past few years, it was the first time that Chounu left her sight, but Yu Tu was relieved to follow Xu You out for a trip.

Perhaps, it’s even more reassuring than in the Northern Dynasties!
