Chapter 29 The Book of Tea

These two horses are complete with saddles and bridles, and although they are not high-quality goods, they are not cheap. Xu Qilin was very happy to see the appearance of these two horses, and he was considered "Benz" and "Audi".

After drinking and eating, Xu Qilin didn't go to work in Dayingku, so he had a nap. He got up and washed up, so he went to the horse shed in the backyard to deepen his feelings with "Benz" and "Audi".

The horses in the house were caring carefully, with excellent fodder and two large bunches of black beans. Seeing Xu Qilin coming over, they accompanied him diligently, and praised them for being two good horses.

Xu Qilin listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time. He walked to the horse shed, began to look carefully, and then reached out to touch the horse's head.

A stranger approached. Although the horse did not stop eating grass, its head was tilted, as if it was also looking at Xu Qilin. Then, the horse opened its ears and squirted, and its head flashed, avoided Xu Qilin's hand and exposed its teeth at him.

"Haha, I still don't let the touch, I feel angry!" Xu Qilin withdrew his hand and smiled, "Can you bite me even if you show your teeth?"

"It's so angry that you can't bite people." Ma Yi knew the expression of the horse very well and said, "Ma Tong's human nature will also be expressed through this, this, and different actions. When Alang gets familiar with it, he knows what they want and don't want to do."

Xu Qilin nodded and agreed. Of course, animals also have their own thinking and can express them through expressions and body language. It is easy to say to similar people, but only those who are familiar with them can understand it.

"Alang, look at its ears." Ma Yi stretched out his finger and pointed, "Fallen down towards his back and exposed his teeth, indicating anger; if he is sick or uncomfortable, his ears will fall down, and his eyes will appear dull."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "It turns out that there is so much knowledge to ride a horse, and it's really a bit more knowledgeable. Well, I don't rush to ride it. If I have time, I come and feed it, or take it away."

Ma Yi agreed and said, "When you arrive at a new place, it is best to let the horse adapt to it even if you are gentle. Since Alang is riding, the time it takes doesn't take too long, and it will be almost done in a few days."

At that time, according to the purpose, there were several types of horses. In addition to fighting horses, there were horses, horses playing balls, horses dancing, etc.

It is easy to understand that riding is only for riding, but there are also differences between tall and short. A short horse is also called "fruit dismounting horse", which is about three feet tall, and "can ride down the fruit tree". During spring outings, it is common for young and noble playboys to ride on "fruit dismounting horse" and "go back and forth under the flower tree".

The horses are specially trained to play polo, while the horses are horses that can dance. It is said that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang is most keen on horse dancing performances.

The two horses Xu Qilin obtained are war horses, but there is no possibility of galloping on the battlefield. If you only use riding, of course there is no need for special training.

Xu Qilin said yes, and then shook in front of the two horses for a while, then turned around his yard.

Sitting at the desk, Xu Qilin was slow for a long time before sighing helplessly, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write a book.

That's right, it was just a book that was written. For the development of tea production, for the health of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and for the additional product to exchange cattle and horses, Xu Qilin wanted to make the "Tea Classic" publication early.

Before the Tang Dynasty, tea was mostly used in medicinal use, and only a few areas used tea as beverages.

Since Lu Yu wrote the "Tea Classic", tea has become the main beverage of Chinese folk, and thus flourished in the Tang Dynasty. The trend of drinking tea has also been popular all over the country. Drinking tea and tea has become an important part of Chinese culture.

"Tea Classic" is considered an agricultural book, or an encyclopedia about tea. The history, origin, efficacy, cultivation, harvesting, decoction and drinking of tea are all included, which gives tea production a relatively complete scientific basis.

What Xu Qilin values ​​most is this point, which is also based on the thinking of later generations. For example, planting, cultivating, processing, and drinking, you have to form standards to promote and develop, and to benefit thousands of tea farmers and tea merchants.

After Hunting, Xu Qilin wrote like a flying pen. In half an hour, he wrote the first volume of the "Tea Classic". The entire "Tea Classic" was divided into three volumes, with more than 7,000 words, and Xu Qilin finished writing one-third.

After stopping the writing, Xu Qilin read it carefully himself and felt that some parts need to be changed, so he could add some content.

For example, the tea-shopping in the Song Dynasty and brewing after the Yuan and Ming dynasties was simpler and easier to operate than making tea, and it also had the original flavor of tea than making tea.

For example, stir-frying tea refers to the process of quickly evaporating the tea leaves through manual kneading in the pot, blocking the process of tea fermentation, and completely retaining the essence of tea juice. It can be regarded as a big leap in the history of tea making.

Green tea is delicious, health-care, and also prevents cancer! Xu Qilin wrote it when he thought of it, and then renovated it in the future.

If you want to promote tea drinking, in addition to the "Tea Classic", you still have to use His Majesty Li Er. After all, the palace is the highest level of feudal society, the benchmark of fashion and civilization, and the center of cultural and ideological dissemination.

When the emperor pays attention to the method of drinking tea, ministers will imitate it and follow it. This is called having something to do with the superiors, and the subordinates must do it. From top to bottom, it is natural to drink tea in society.

Well, just making tea leaves is a money-making method. It is not difficult to let His Majesty Li Er drink tea and drink tea. Besides, making health tea is also of great benefit to the body, not that it is not.

Xu Qilin wrote while thinking, and it was a big article. It was a mess. It was not until Xiao Zhao came back from the palace with a crisp laughter and ran to the front happily.

"Why are you so happy?" Xu Qilin put down his pen, smiled and carried the girl to his lap, took the silk handkerchief handed by Scarlett, and wiped the sweat beads on Xiao Zhao's forehead.

Xiao Zhao giggled and gave the jade bracelet on her wrist to her brother to see, "It looks good, it's very expensive."

"Sister gave you?" Xu Qilin said disrespectfully: "I've asked for leave from my sister. Look at you so happy, I probably agreed?"

Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Sister gave me five days off, so I'm allowed to stay in the village. Haha, but this bracelet was given by His Highness King Jin, and he also knew that I was going to celebrate my birthday!"

King Li Zhi of Jin?! Xu Qilin's face darkened and he snorted. Damn, I want to please my girl, bah, go get out.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhao didn't understand why, and looked at his brother's unhappy expression and asked in confusion: "Brother doesn't like His Highness King Jin?"

It’s not that I don’t like it, but that I don’t like it very much, or even hate it.

Li Zhi was not as famous as his father or his wife Wu Zetian in history, and he had almost no sense of existence. But in fact, this dark-hearted and cruel guy was definitely not as cowardly as people imagined.
