Chapter 508
"I thanked the shopkeeper."
Xiaohong bowed to thank him.
Then, he greeted everyone standing in the distance and came forward to greet Chen Buyi one by one.
Even Qingqing, who teased her that day, came up in a proper manner. After giving him a greeting, she stood aside obediently.
Chen Buyi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. This little red is not only beautiful but also has a very high management level. In a few days, he has managed the Yuehua Tower smoothly and obediently, but he has some means.
"Okay, let's go to work alone."
Chen Buyi smiled and waved his hand.
Qingqing sings and walks to the center of the venue.
On the original high platform in the center, a guqin was placed.
After she sat down, she reached out and the pleasant notes jumped out.
The song is an ancient song of mountains and flowing water, and the listeners feel a little relaxed and happy.
I really didn't expect that a laughing woman in a brothel could play so well.
Perhaps, behind everyone, there is an experience of being forced to do so.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano with a little high profile, Chen Buyi said to Xiaohong, "You make a pot of tea."
Xiaohong agreed, brought the charcoal brazier and started to operate it skillfully.
In early spring, I still drank the old tea from last year, and in the Tang Dynasty, green tea was the main one.
Drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty was divided into two steps: cooking tea and drinking tea.
Tea cooking is divided into three stages, namely "three boils".
When the water boils until the fish eyes are large and the fish eyes are slightly sound, it is the first boil.
At this time, add appropriate amount of salt according to the amount of water and taste the taste of water. Do not add more salt because of the light taste.
When the water on the edge of the pot is like beads, it is the second boil.
After scooping out a scoop of boiling water, use bamboo to sandwich it into a water vortex to make the water boiling even. Use a tea spoon to take the tea powder, put it into the center of the water vortex, and then stir.
After a while, the water surface waves tumbling and splashing a lot of foam, that is, the three boils.
Pour back the originally scooped water to stop boiling and produce tea foam.
At this time, remove a layer of mica-like water film on the tea foam because it tastes bad.
After the "three boils", it is not advisable to continue boiling, because the water is old and cannot be drunk anymore.
Do not add too much water to make tea, otherwise it will taste weak.
The second step is naturally to drink tea.
That is, use a ladle to scoop the soup and divide the tea into the tea cup. The basic method is to make the foam in each bowl even.
Scoop out the first bowl of tea from the pot is called Junyong.
The meaning of eternal taste also refers to the best things.
After cooking the tea, Xiaohong respectfully brought Jun Yong up, "Shopkeeper, try it."
Chen Buyi smiled slightly, "Buy a pot of boiling water again, and then a pot, two tea bowls."
Soon, someone brought a pot of water again, and there was a teapot and two tea bowls.
After the water in the pot boils, Shen Buyi first takes a pinch of tea leaves, put it into the tea bowl, scooped a scoop of water in, washed the tea a little by a blink of an eye, and then poured it out.
He poured the tea into the teapot and then scooped a small scoop of boiling water into it.
After shaking, after waiting for a few snaps, Chen Buyi poured two bowls of tea out.
He smiled and pushed a bowl in front of Xiaohong.
"You can taste the tea you cook and the tea I cook."
Xiaohong looked at Chen Buyi in surprise. Is that simple?
Wash it, soak it for a few fingers and you can drink it?
As he was skeptical, he tried to taste it, and his eyes lit up.
The tea I cooked myself is not only salty, but it has been cooked for too long, but it still has a hint of bitterness.
The green tea that is hard to brew is not easy to smell, but after entering the mouth, it leaves a fragrance, making people feel refreshed and energetic.
"Okay, great."
Xiaohong couldn't help but exclaim.
Chen Buyi nodded with a smile. Have you seen clearly what I did just now?"
Xiaohong nodded.
Chen Buyi smiled and poured out all the tea in the teapot, then handed the empty pot to Xiaohong, "You, do as you do."
Xiaohong took it and followed Chen Buyi’s previous operation, step by step, soaked a pot again for Chen Buyi.
Chen Buyi took it and took a sip, "I have been soaking for a while, soak it again."
Xiaohong planned to catch a fire and soaked a pot again.
After repeated attempts, we finally achieved the result of being dull and hopeless.
"Yes, just brew it like this. You teach this method to everyone in Yuehua Building. My requirements are very simple. Everyone, including Ruhua, must be able to accurately brew a pot of good tea."
At this time, Xingqing Palace and Qinzheng Palace.
Luo Dongli, the commander of the Imperial Army, stood in front of Xuanzong's desk and carefully reported on the situation of interrogating Xinlangli and others today.
"Emperor, the Khitan Kingdom has 86 people lurking in this store. There are fifty-eight people who belong to the secret guards. Among them, the secret guard captain, don't come, and lead two people missing, and there are fifty-five secret guards left."
"The main purpose of these secret guards coming to Chang'an City is to assassinate the prince-consort Chen Buyi."
Xuanzong frowned when he heard this.
"You mean, they came for Shen Buyi?"
Luo Dongli nodded.
"Yes, the leader is Xinlangli, the son of Xinjuye, the Grand Marshal of the Khitan Kingdom. After being defeated in Juyongguan, he was dissatisfied and wanted to come to Chang'an City to do something wrong."
After saying that, Luo Dongli did not forget to gild Chen Buyi on his face.
, "Biyi also captured these thieves under the guidance of Mr. Shen."
When Emperor Xuanzong heard that he took the initiative to mention Chen Buyi, he understood a little in his heart. Most of the contributions to Chen Buyi were from Chen Buyi, but this son seemed a little indifferent to fame and fortune and was unwilling to be greedy for merit.
But as the emperor, he cannot favor one or the other. Thinking of this, he deliberately smiled and said, "In this way, is Chen Aiqing half of the credit?"
Luo Dongli was really honest and bowed and said, "The prince-consort has 90% of this credit, and only 10% of his humble position."
"Hahaha!"
Xuanzong couldn't help laughing and felt very proud. Luo Dongli deserves to be his guard and knows his thoughts.
"Since that's the case, it's not easy for me to reward you well."
After saying that, he turned to look at Gao Lishi.
"Lao Gao, tell me, how should I reward this?"
Gao Lishi also knew that Xuanzong was just trying to use his own mouth to express the reward, so he smiled and said, "I think that Commander Luo and Prince Shen should be half of each."
This is very much for Xuanzong's appetite. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Xuanzong nodding, Gao Lishi continued, "I think it's okay to reward two hundred households."
Two hundred households, this is a great achievement.
During the Sui Dynasty, there were about 8 million households nationwide. After years of war, by the early years of Zhenguan, there were only about 2 million households, and even if they developed to this day, they did not exceed 10 million households.
A founding county magistrate has only five hundred households. As for what kind of households or even more, how much credit will it take?
Even Princess Taiping at that time enjoyed more than 5,000 households.
