The fifth sixty-fifth chapter turns the war into jade and silk
Chapter 565: Turning sword into jade
Both sides were very happy when they reached an agreement with the old monk. Qin Lei finally sincerely invited the old monk to use a vegetarian meal, and ordered someone to take him down to rest, and then talk about everything until dawn.
According to the agreement, the next day, the silver was delivered and the withdrawal of troops was the time to rescue the siege.
Facts have proved that Qi is worthy of being a country of etiquette, and the people of Qi are still very trustworthy. As soon as Chen Shi arrived, Prince Rong appeared in front of the camp with a long convoy.
The black-clothed guard stopped the team and began to check the quality and contents. Prince Rong was invited to the central army tent for tea.
The two sides discussed and Prince Rong suddenly glared at his eyes and said, "After you changed your clothes, you are completely different."
It turned out that Qin Lei took a shower, repaired his face today, changed into a blue long gown, and showed his original handsome face. Anyone who saw it would praise him: "What a good young man in the turbid world!"
Apart from the sword hanging around his waist, it is too far from the unshaven and rude and tough image of yesterday. No wonder Prince Rong made a fuss.
With a faint smile, Qin Lei looked at Prince Rong's face and said, "Your Highness is completely different." His voice is gentle and elegant, making people feel like spring breeze.
Prince Rong was covered in fatigue and even had dark circles. He heard this and said rudely: "If you want to raise more than one million taels of silver overnight, even the gods will be exhausted, let alone the ordinary man Gu?" His voice became extremely hoarse.
Qin Lei laughed softly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, your lord."
Prince Rong didn't sleep all night, and was very angry and said angrily: "I offended all the men in Beijing."
‘What does it matter to me?’ Qin Lei said in his heart, but he still smiled and said, “Give tea and relieve the fire of the fifth prince.”
"Don't use the porcelain bowl to beat me up." Prince Rong said with lingering fear: "When I went to various companies to raise funds yesterday, I ran a lot of stomachs, which was awesome."
"This is the time and there are a moment." Qin Lei said with a smile: "You are now a friend of the Lone King, so it is of course the highest standard." He said to Shi Gan and ordered: "Get the Dahong Painted by the Emperor of Chu and the set of tea sets."
As soon as this said, Prince Rong was shocked and said in surprise: "Is it the kind of Dahongpao born on the rocky cliffs on the top of Wuyi Mountain and only nine remaining trees in the world?"
"That's natural." Qin Lei took the small white porcelain jar painted with Wuyi clouds and mist, and said proudly: "This thing is a tribute from the State of Chu. The output is too small, and the top quality is even rarer. Apart from Emperor Jingtai, the State of Chu can only drink dozens of people; as for the best Dahongpao, there are only a few people."
Qin Yutian was very eloquent, and in a few words, Prince Rong was very itchy. He scratched his ears and forehead and said, "Open it quickly and let me see if it is as magical as the legend." Then he stood up and leaned over, completely forgot about the shame of humiliation yesterday.
He can always eliminate the reconciliable contradictions invisibly, which is one of Qin Lei's complimentary abilities.
When Prince Rong opened the exquisite porcelain jar, he saw that the tea leaves in the jar were tightly shaped, green and brown, and a very elegant fragrance before brewing.
As soon as he moved his eyes away from the tea pot, Prince Rong was attracted by the tea set brought by Shi Gan. The purple clay tea set was extremely unique... The teapot was as big as a citron, and the cup was only as big as a walnut. It was probably not a ounce of tea if a cup was poured.
Although Prince Rong is a northerner who is generous with a cow drink, he feels that he is an indescribable prince. Of course, he should pursue some unique high quality... In the eyes of His Royal Highness, this kind of tea set that is suitable for feeding birds can reflect the aristocratic style.
The so-called nobles are to do ordinary things with extraordinary excitement... They are just a trash that is full.
When the spring water on the peat stove began to whistle, Qin Lei put the washed tea set on the tea tray. When the sound of water suddenly came to an end, he immediately lifted the kettle, rinsed the teapot and cup with hot water, and then put the kettle back on the stove. The movement was like flowing water, and it was enjoyable just looking at it.
Looking at Qin Lei's calm and peaceful face, Prince Rong could not imagine that Prince Cheng, who was still beating and killing yesterday, had such a face. Unconsciously, the hostility in his heart became much smaller, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "Is there any particularity?"
"Water with fish eye water when pouring the cup." Qin Lei replied lightly, while opening the tea pot, he poured the "Dahong Pao" that was hard to find on a piece of white paper, with the thickness and thickness. Place the thickest one at the bottom of the teapot and the spout, then place the fine powder on the middle layer, and then place the thick leaves on it.
"What's the point?" Looking at Qin Lei's tea making, Prince Rong felt that he had lived in vain in his life.
"The taste of fine powder is the strongest. If the tea leaves are too much, it will easily become bitter and easily plug the spout. Put the tea with the thickness and the tea taste will gradually develop." After putting 50% of the tea leaves into the citron-sized teapot, Qin Lei tightly covered the tea pot and told Shi Gan to put it away.
Seeing Qin Lei put away the tea, Prince Rong reluctantly said, "Put it a little more."
Qin Lei couldn't help but smile: "There are already a lot. If there are too many, the tea brewed is too strong and the taste is bitter. Moreover, Dahongpao has tender buds, and when boiling water is rinsed, it stretches out and becomes very large. If there is too much tea, even the water will not be able to rinse in."
At this time, the water on the stove began to buzz like beads. The sound of water was like pine waves. Qin Lei finally lifted the pot to make tea. He lifted the lid of the teapot, circled the mouth of the pot with boiling water, and then rushed in the edge of the pot. Before Prince Rong asked again, Qin Lei explained: "Gao Chong is to impact the tea leaves in the pot and make the tea fragrance spread faster." After the teapot was rinsed to the "Three Mountains", the tea foam naturally floated up, but did not overflow. Qin Lei lifted the lid of the pot, gently scraped the tea foam from the mouth of the pot, and then closed it.
Just when Prince Rong thought the task was completed and he was waiting to drink, Qin Lei poured hot water on the pot. One was to make the heat attack inside and outside, and the other was to rush the tea foam outside the pot. Then pour the tea cup with boiling water. The tea in the pot was also heated and finally the tea could be sprinkled to the guests.
Seeing Qin Lei's hands dancing like a butterfly, Prince Rong couldn't help but be dazzled and didn't feel bored at all.
When Qin Lei filled the tea cups in the tea tray at an extremely low height and extremely fast speed, like a wheel rotating, and finally reached out to make a gesture of using it.
Prince Rong pinched a cup and saw that the soup was bright orange and yellow, with red and green leaves intersecting, with the beauty of "green leaves and red borders". First, hold the cup to the nose and smell the smell, but it feels rich and deep and lasting, like an orchid; then send it to the lips and take a sip, and suddenly feels that the taste is rich and mellow, refreshing, and sweet, although the taste is strong, it does not show bitterness. He couldn't help but praise three times: "Okay! OK! OK!"
"How is it a good way?" Qin Lei asked with a smile while tasting tea with an intoxicated face.
"The tea is good! The art is good! The taste is better!" Prince Rong said with great conscience. You have to admit that the playboys are more tasteful.
"I didn't expect that your highness is still an lonely soulmate." Qin Lei laughed and said, "Do you know what the essence of this Kung Fu tea is?"
"There are many characteristics..." Prince Rong said as he knew it: "Hot, small, slow, coincidence, wait..."
"What's the most essential?" Qin Lei asked with a teacup with a smile.
"That should be a hot word. From cooking soup to making tea, this hot word is inseparable from the hot word."
"Your Highness has learned three of them." Qin Lei gave his thumbs up and said, "Tea is fragrant because it is hot, so you should drink it while it is hot."
"Not bad, it's not as good as white water when it's cold." Prince Rong expressed his deep agreement. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to find a confidant.
The two of them drank a few rounds with great pleasure until Tu Gongchun's voice came from outside the tent: "Prince, the counting is complete, the quantity is just right, and the quality is enough."
Prince Qin Lei nodded to the heart of Prince Rong and chuckled, "How many of you are here?"
"Fifty thousand taels." Prince Rong said with a tea silence: "I have a lot of expenses."
Qin Lei said to the outside in a deep voice: "Call out 50,000 taels and send them to Prince Rong's personal soldiers."
"What is this for?" Prince Rong said in surprise.
"It is enough to have a soulmate in life," Qin Lei said sincerely: "I have already regarded you as a friend, how can I ask for money from my friend?"
Yesterday Prince Rong hated and feared him, but Qin Lei made a pretentious move today, and his noble prince's heart was completely eliminated, and he said happily:
"How can you take back what you gave? Your Highness just hold it."
"Don't treat me as a friend, right?" Qin Lei pretended to be angry.
