People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 96 096: Making Tea Around the Stove

Cai Xiaolan took a sip of Xuemei's water-soaked tea, very satisfied.But the other two just sipped a cup.

"It's too dull!" Jia Xiaoxiao pointed out the shortcomings of the tea making method without politeness.

"Well, I also think that drinking tea this way is a bit too light." Lu Shiyu was also not sure about Xiaolan's method of drinking tea.

"I still have a way to drink tea, and I invite you to taste it!" Cai Xiaolan had expected that there must be a reason for the popular tea making method in Tang Dynasty, so she took some dried fruits in advance and roasted them by the stove.

At this moment, the surface is layered and burnt.

Cai Xiaolan added some hot water for making tea to the crock, stripped off the dried fruit, stuffed it in, and grabbed a handful of tea leaves.

The boiling water quickly overflowed the tea leaves.

Cai Xiaolan put the lid on the earthen jar, and was bored for a few moments.

"It would be the best if I could have a few oranges!" Cai Xiaolan said in a dream.

"Where do you get the oranges in the middle of winter? Miss Cai is talking in her sleep." Jia Xiaoxiao was very dissatisfied with the reckless Cai Xiaolan.

When you are a guest at someone's house, you must act like a guest.The guest does what the host wants, the ancients have long explained the standard of being a guest.

"You are thinking wrong. You can eat oranges in the middle of winter, but no one does it. I see rich families. Some people will build a small greenhouse to keep the temperature so that they can eat vegetables in winter. Orange trees use the same You can also eat oranges. And as long as the storage temperature is low enough, the oranges can be stored in winter." Cai Xiaolan said stubbornly.

"Hehe!" Jia Xiaoxiao chuckled under her breath. The last thing she was afraid of was an opponent who refused to admit defeat. "Is there any example?"

"I have. There is a big family in Chang'an, and the ice room is big enough, and they do put some fruits." Lu Shiyu answered quickly.

"This—" Jia Xiaoxiao didn't expect to be stabbed in the back.Obviously they are the same.

Lu Shiyu cast a sorry look, she couldn't control herself.Every time it's time to show off Chang'an's superior life, her mouth is out of control.

While talking, the tea was ready.

Cai Xiaolan each shared a cup, the sweetness of the dried fruit and the mellow aroma of the tea each accounted for half, without interfering with each other.Taste it in your mouth and experience novelty.

"Come on, both of you! By the way, have a taste of the wonderful tea I brought!" Cai Xiaolan pointed to the Xiaodie placed at the four corners of the stove, and they had returned to their original appearance in a short while.

White jade tofu, crystal clear.

Babao Dried Tofu is full of medicinal fragrance.

Playing with silk threads.

Vegetarian chicken, ruddy in color.

"These four are quite exquisite!" The two of them put on their chopsticks.

"Wonderful, whether it's the texture or the taste, it's unheard of, and I've never tasted it." Lu Shiyu ate several pieces of each item before stopping.And Jia Xiaoxiao who was sitting at the other end was even worse, the chopsticks didn't stop.All etiquette, in front of food, always take two steps back.

"The request you made when I entered the door was related to the four snacks in front of me. I plan to open a shop in Zicheng. When I hired someone to renovate, the manager told me that I need a master of painting. I'm going to do it right now." I thought of you, Sister Lu. On the day of the poetry meeting, you left a deep impression on me."

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.Before Cai Xiaolan could say a few words, Lu Shiyu agreed wholeheartedly.

And outside the house, a voice sounded, "Why are you smiling so happily?"

Judge Lu was far away when he heard his sister's laughter, and couldn't help being curious.

"Brother, two friends and I made tea by the fire. Do you want to join in?" Lu Shiyu opened the door and said a polite word.

Lu Xingye took a quick glance inside, paused for a moment on Cai Xiaolan's face, and immediately replied: "Okay, I just feel a little thirsty!"

"Huh?" Lu Shiyu suddenly lost his mind. He had never joined before.

Suddenly there was a man at the tea party, and the three of them were no longer as lively as before, especially Jia Xiaoxiao, who ate side dishes much less frequently.

"What are these? It's delicious!" Lu Xingye asked strangely.

"This is a snack brought by Miss Cai, and she plans to open a shop to sell this!"

"Oh, not bad!" Lu Xingye finished the side dishes in a few mouthfuls, and had no intention of entanglement, so he found an excuse and left.

Lu Shiyu looked at the back of his brother leaving, and felt that he was especially weird today.

Cai Xiaolan's goal was also achieved, and he made an appointment with Lu Shiyu to arrive at the store tomorrow, and then left.

……

The cold outside and the hot air inside collided together, forming patches of mist that gathered on the wall of the porch.

"Master, the Cui family sent a post just now, inviting you to come a year ago. The visitor is still waiting for your reply in the living room."

Li Yunguang is eating hot pot with Mrs. Li in the house.Although it was winter, both of them had sweat on their foreheads, and their coats were taken off and hung by the side.This way of eating has recently spread from the settlements outside the West City Gate.

Boil a pot of boiling water, add seasonings, and cook anything you want, and you will be warmed up after eating and can resist the cold.

Of course, the Li family's food is not that simple.Not only mutton, frozen tofu, water spinach, etc. are enough, but also pepper can be used as a dipping sauce to remove the fishy smell and add flavor.

"Bring it here!" Li Yunguang took the post, and first glanced at the signature, "It turned out that sister-in-law Cui called us to have dinner, and we had to go. Ma'am, what day do you think is better?"

"It's the New Year's Eve now, so let's count the days. Three days before New Year's Eve, you will definitely have to accompany your colleagues for dinner. You have to go to the nearby prefectures and counties, and you will definitely not have time. One day for Lu Pansi's family to eat, and one day for Zeng Changshi's family to eat. , those generals will definitely entertain you for a few more days. Let me see, either you go tomorrow, or go on New Year's Eve!" Mrs. Li made a calculation, and after removing all the days that could not be avoided, she only Found two days to spare.

"No, no, I promised to accompany you on New Year's Eve. As for tomorrow, I have urgent business." Li Yunguang vetoed these two days again.There will be no official business tomorrow, and I can't go there. They may not be ready.

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Li has a big forehead, and she becomes irritable when the new year comes.There was plenty of fish and meat every day, and I was so tired that I couldn’t even say anything.

"I have a solution!" Li Yunguang turned his head and told the servant at the door, "Go and reply, I will go at noon on the twenty-fifth day!"

The servant left immediately.

"I remember not going to Judge Lu's house on the [-]th?" Mrs. Li was surprised.

"Hehe, this is my little trick. There are only two people in Lu Xingye's family, and both of them are young people. Can't I just take them with me to the Cui family? Judge Lu won't be unhappy if he comes." Li Laoba rolled his eyes, feeling proud of the idea he had come up with.

"You, bullying other people's children."

"It's not because you said that you want to have a relationship with Lu Pansi. When the boss and the second come back, you will have an excuse to let them meet together." Li Yunguang blinked, and blamed Mrs. Li again.
