I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiyi quickly turned sideways to avoid the salute.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up and followed Li Shimin.

Although he is not a man, he is also a man who works hard for the Tang Dynasty and makes great contributions.

He said quickly:

"Master General, you can't do that, you can't do that!"

At the same time, he took out a small bag from his arms.

He handed it to Zhang Anan, whose face was filled with tears, and said:

"This bag of tea is specially prepared for you."

“You must accept it!”

Chapter 703 I am really looking forward to this thing

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Fang Yiyi held the wooden box in both hands, bowed to Li Shimin and said:

"Your Majesty, this thing is called tea leaves."

"This is what I found in Yiyang."

"When brewed with hot water, it is emerald green in color, has a clear and elegant aroma, and tastes bitter at first but sweet later."

"It has a refreshing effect."

"Compared to sheep oil ginger tea, it is ten thousand times better for the body."

Li Shimin looked at the steaming sheep oil ginger tea placed beside him.

Suddenly there was a look of surprise.

To know.

Drinking mutton fat ginger tea has a long history.

In the cognition of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

After the mutton fat in mutton fat ginger tea is boiled, the rich oil can replenish physical strength.

The onions, ginger and peppercorns have a pungent smell and spicy taste, which can stimulate people and make them more energetic.

Among them, Sichuan pepper is extremely expensive.

More valuable than gold and silver.

It is something that only royal aristocrats and wealthy families can afford.

The tea contributed by Fang Yiyi is actually better than mutton fat ginger tea.

This really made Li Shimin a little unbelievable.

However, Fang Yiyi never had a purpose.

Every time he took out something, it was a treasure that brought him a big surprise.

For example, horseshoes, new water wheels, and explosives that seemed like divine punishment.

One thing after another helped Li Shimin suppress the doubts in his heart.

He smiled and said:

"Since you are talking about this so-called tea leaves, it is so magical."

"Bring it up to me, so I can taste it."

Fang Yiyi quickly said:

"Yes!"

He handed the wooden box to Zhang Ananda.

And instructed Zhang Ananda how to brew tea.

After all, Zhang Ananda was the one who served Li Shimin.

You have to learn it for sure.

Li Shimin picked up a somewhat wilted leaf from the wooden box.

He frowned and said puzzledly:

"This thing looks like a leaf, a little dry. Can it really have such a miraculous effect if you soak it in water?"

Fang Yiyi smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, you won't know whether it's good or not until you try it."

"This tea leaf looks a little withered."

"It is because I traveled a long distance and took more than half a month to bring it back."

"However, it does not have much impact on the efficacy and taste of tea."

There was a pause.

Fang Yiyi said with great emotion:

"However, although I have found tea leaves, I have not learned how to dry or roast them to make them taste better and more effective when brewed."

"I can only offer it to Your Majesty using the simplest method of tasting it."

"Oh?" Li Shimin was attracted by Fang Yiyi's expression and words.

He looked at the tea leaves again and said in disbelief:

"This inconspicuous leaf actually has special skills?"

Fang Yiyi nodded and added some exaggerations, replacing some of what he had seen and heard in his previous life with what he had heard in Yiyang.

What temperature should be maintained for drying.

What a virgin young woman, stirring the casserole on fire with her hands.

He mixed in his limited knowledge of the tea ceremony.

Li Shimin, an extremely calm king who never showed his emotions, was dumbfounded when he heard this.

I couldn't wait to look at the kettle boiling on the stove and said:

"I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it!"

“There are so many ways.”

“I’m really looking forward to this.”

When Fang Yiyi saw that Li Shimin was looking forward to it, he was completely relieved.

According to historical records, there is no clear cause of death for Li Shimin.

One was that he was shot by an arrow during the expedition to Goguryeo, which left him with a chronic illness and he never recovered.

One is that Li Shimin sought immortality in his later years and "took medicine from a foreign monk, which caused him to fall ill suddenly and could not be cured."

There is also wind disease.

This wind disease covers a very wide range.

But, to put it simply.

However, in his later years, his health was not good.

Chapter 704: This item is worth a fortune

Li Shimin was very busy with government affairs and was one of the models of diligence among the Chinese emperors.

He drinks mutton fat ginger tea every day. This stuff is so greasy.

If you drink this stuff to stay awake all day, you will definitely suffer from the three highs.

You work so hard every day, it would be strange if you were in good health.

Fang Yiyi presented tea.

In addition to borrowing Li Shimin's golden words, the tea also has a golden sign that His Majesty says it is good and drinks it every day.

Another thing is to get Li Shimin to stop eating sheep oil.

After all, tea has the effect of removing fat and contains some trace elements.

As long as you don't drink too much, it will only benefit your body and not cause any harm.

As the water in the kettle boiled, a slight squeaking sound was heard.

Zhang Ananda picked up the teapot and poured the hot water into the teacup.

The tea leaves roll and spin with the flow of water, just like a dancing beauty.

This scene made Li Shimin and Duan Yan's eyes light up.

"Good, good tea!"

After a set of procedures is completed.

Li Shimin smelled the fragrant tea and felt that all his fatigue disappeared.

Fang Yiyi saw Li Shimin pick up the tea, sniffing the fragrance and swallowing his saliva.

He was afraid that the other party would be like Duan Yan, drinking it down in one gulp despite the fact that it was scalding hot.

He quickly gave some tactful advice.

Li Shimin immediately suppressed the impulse in his heart.

At the same time, he looked at Fang Yiyi with amusement and said some words to save his face.

"OK, I'm not a child."

"I know I can't drink this scalding hot tea at this moment."

Fang Yiyi was ashamed and said quickly:

"Your Majesty is right. I am too concerned and confused. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

He admired the increasingly green tea soup and felt relaxed and happy.

Wait until you feel the water temperature has dropped a little.

Li Shimin took a sip slowly.

There is also some boiling hot tea as soon as it enters your mouth.

This made him frown slightly and he couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Slightly bitter tea flavor, indescribably mellow and refreshing.

It made his eyes light up and his brows relax.

I even started sweating on my back.

After drinking the tea.

According to Fang Yiyi, he did not open his mouth.

Silently savoring the remaining tea flavor in my mouth.

The moment when a slight sweet aftertaste appears in the mouth.

Li Shimin's eyes were shining and he sat lazily on the dragon throne.

Squinting his eyes, he looked at Fang Yiyi comfortably and said:

"OK, this tea is amazing!"

"It is just as you said, wonderful!"

"It is pleasing to the eye, bitter at first but sweet later, it is truly a rare and wonderful thing!"
