Chapter 247 Brewing New Tea
"Tell me quickly, which kind of tea should I buy?" Since Pei Fanxian said that, he must have a goal, and Li Xian is very sure.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "There is no need to worry about this, there is no need to spend money at all."
“No need to spend money?”
"Where does the tea come from?"
There is a buying and selling, and fair trading, this principle is rooted in Li Xian's heart and is quite deeply rooted.
Pei Fanxian was not in a hurry at all. He originally thought that Li Xian had called him to ask him some problems. When he learned that he was just helping prepare gifts, he was relieved.
The gift was prepared early in the morning and there was no need to do anything else.
"Your Highness, don't worry, you really don't need to buy it. This is the tea made by Weichen. I originally wanted to bring it to the banquet for everyone to taste. Now if your Highness needs it, let's leave it to your Highness."
Pei Fan first put the small bag hidden in his sleeve on the table. When Li Xian saw the appearance of the tea leaves, he immediately frowned.
"This...is also tea?"
"Strange."
Look, if you kindly help him solve the problem, he is still dissatisfied.
If he hadn't been the prince, Pei Fanxian would have been too lazy to talk to him. Could he know what kind of sensational effect would this stir-fry tea have in Chang'an City?
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Chang'an City will be shocked. Those messy tea soup will be completely abandoned in a few decades.
If you take the fried tea to the market and sell it, it will be fine?
He didn't appreciate the money-making golden lumps to him, and Pei Fanxian immediately felt a little regretful.
If I had known it, it would be better to change something that was not painful and let him buy it himself.
This person sometimes likes to be mean.
I don’t want to give it for free. If I spend a lot of money, it’s obviously garbage, but I might even offer it like a treasure.
Everything was as Pei Fanxian expected. When Li Xian heard that the tea was made by Pei Fanxian himself, he immediately made a fuss.
Can this thing work?
He picked up a few slices of fried tea leaves, and no matter how he looked, what was wrong.
"Pei Lang, do you think you made this tea yourself?"
"Why is this like this?"
Pei Fanxian said a little resentful: "It was indeed made by Weichen himself. The way to make this tea is different from what is sold on the market. You only need to brew it in clean water without adding seasonings."
“No need to add seasoning?”
"How can this be? Isn't this tasteless?"
Li Xian picked up a few pieces of tea and sniffed it. No, the aroma of the tea is very strong, and it seems to be different from what is sold on the street.
Maybe this kid really has a unique secret recipe.
Pei Fanxian shook his head and said, "Of course it has a flavor, but it is mainly a fragrant type. However, I can guarantee that the Saint will not hate this tea."
"Clean tea?"
Li Xian had some impression of this tea he seemed to have heard of before.
"Isn't that a medicinal soup for curing diseases? How can I give it to the Saint?" As he said that, he pushed the cloth bag back.
The questioning eyes were filled with the words "deception". In the Tang Dynasty, tea brewed with only tea leaves was not completely without a market.
It’s just that people who drink him have different purposes. The tea from the Tang Dynasty did not go through the process of frying, and was treated by fumigation, and the flavor was indeed poor. Most of the people in the Tang Dynasty used such clear tea as medicinal tea, not for entertainment at all.
No wonder Li Xian was shocked when he heard that this was a tea party. He did not take the initiative to give medicine soup to the emperor and the empress.
Don't want to live anymore?
"Your Highness misunderstood that this is not a soup. The difference between this tea and the tea that can be seen on the market is that it is fried, not steamed."
Pei Fan looked at Li Xian first, looking like a respected mentor. Even if Li Xian ignored human affairs, the tea was steamed, so he wouldn't have no idea about it.
"Not steamed? How did that come out?"
"However, your tea is indeed different from what you sell on the Western Market. It has a strong aroma and a fragrant fragrance."
"Tell me, how did it come about?"
How did it be made?
Even if I tell you, you won’t understand!
Pei Fan paused for a moment and immediately came up with the plan.
"I can't explain this method in one sentence or two. I might as well do this. Your Highness will give you some hot water, and we will brew a few cups, and your Highness will try it."
Li Xian was overjoyed, right!
It is better to see it than to hear it. Instead of talking nonsense here, it is better to see it with your own eyes.
Li Xian immediately asked Lin Niang to make tea. Pei Fanxian also said: "This tea has a strong aroma and you don't need to put too much. Use a small pot, probably putting so many tea leaves to make a pot."
Lin Niang had never seen fried tea before. Pei Fan had made sure she would not know how to brew it, so he picked up a small handful and carefully demonstrated the amount of tea that should be put. Lin Niang held the tea with a question mark.
"Just put this a little bit?"
What she thought to herself was that Pei Langjun looked open and honest, and she didn't expect that she would be so stingy.
She had no mistakes in thinking this way. It was popular to make tea in the Tang Dynasty. If the tea soup was fragrant and strong, it would definitely not be possible without a large amount of tea leaves.
In the kitchen, Lin Niang was mainly responsible for making tea, and she was so familiar with this errand.
Pei Fanxian said happily: "Just do what I said. If you can't do it well, otherwise I will do it myself?" He turned to Li Xian and sincerely suggested.
After all, Lin Niang and the others have never seen tea stir-frying. The possibility of success in one go is too low.
Now, when we want to show Li Xian the true value of tea stir-fried, we must not lose the chain.
Although Lao Pei doesn't want to get started at all, he doesn't care about it for himself.
Li Xian concentrated for a moment and said, "It's not good to do this, Pei Lang is a guest."
As soon as this statement was spoken, Pei Fanxian immediately understood, and this was agreed.
Without saying a word, he got up and followed Lin Niang to the kitchen. Isn’t it just brewing a pot of tea?
What's the difficulty?
He is a time traveler who does not have the bad habits of the children of the Tang Dynasty. He needs to be served in everything. Even if he dies of thirst and starvation, he cannot lose his style.
The workers are the most honorable. If they are handed over to Lin Niang and she messed up, that would be a big trouble.
This is Pei Wang Mansion, with almost everything in the kitchen, and all kinds of preparations are complete, especially hot water and other regular items, which are even more prepared.
Pei Fanxian did not take much effort to make a pot of tea. Although, according to his idea, the taste of this tea was not very good, far worse than the various teas he had drunk in his previous life.
What black tea, green tea, oolong tea...
Hey, it smells so good!
Before Pei Fanxian could put the tea on, Li Xian was already attracted by the scent of niao.
"Is this the tea?"
Strictly speaking, Li Xian has never seen anyone make tea like this.
He has seen the small teapot, but it is not used like this. In the past, he had prepared the tea directly and brought it to the case for guests to pour it directly for drinking.
But when Li Xian opened the lid, he saw that the light tea leaves had already stretched out, sometimes aggregated and sometimes dispersed.
"You didn't pick out the tea?"
“Is this a whole piece?”
Li Xian's every problem hits the point.
Fan Xian held his hand and covered the lid back.
"Your Highness, this tea needs to be stuffed, so that it will taste good."
Li Xian accepted it happily. At this moment, he was already conquered by the quiet fragrance and no longer doubted whether this tea could be used to give gifts.
