In the second year of Kaiyun, the fourth year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty, in December 946 AD.

At the Yan Prince's Mansion, Li Jing then returned to the mansion and found two young people coming, who were talking to the princess in detail about Zhenghuan.

"Madam, these two are..."

"Caughter Chen Lin and Guo Hao, pay homage to His Highness the King of Qi!"

The two bowed down and worshipped, performing the ceremony of scholars. There were so many princes and nobles in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the only one worthy of making friends was the only King Li Jingsui of Qi.

Li Jingsui was pure and peaceful, elegant and gentlemanly, good at writing poetry, and had a banquet and poetry with the court officials.

He just came back from the banquet today and happened to meet Guo Hao and Chen Lin. There were still many gifts outside, so Li Jingsui probably guessed some.

"You two are scholars. If you seek an official position, you can find the wrong place."

When the two of them looked at each other after hearing this, Guo Hao stepped forward and bowed: "The prince misunderstood us. Our brothers did not come to ask for an official position this time."

"Oh? Not asking for an official? Then why bring these gifts?"

Guo Hao smiled slightly and said, "The New Year is approaching, this is the little intention of the grass people. In fact, we are here this time to make friends with the prince. We can't come empty-handed."

“Make friends?”

Li Jing then smiled, sat in the seat, and looked at the two of them carefully.

"Where are your family living and where are you from?"

Guo Hao heard this and said, "This is Mr. Chen Lin and Chen. He lives in Hangzhou, and is from the northern country. He is from Zhengzhou."

"One south and one north, how did you get together?"

Chen Lin was a little nervous when he heard this. Somehow, Guo Hao pulled him and smiled and said, "Of course he could meet thousands of miles away, but he would not meet each other without a chance. He traveled all over the world and met Mr. Chen by chance. As a result, he fell in love with him and became brothers at first sight."

When Li Jing then heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "A good sentence is that you can meet thousands of miles away, but you can't meet each other without fate. It seems that the two are indeed elegant gentlemen. This king is suspicious. Come and give him a seat!"

After Li Jingsui finished speaking, a servant brought two Hu benches. After thanking each other, they sat down. Guo Hao said, "Your Highness, the two of us came here this time. In addition to wanting to pay homage to Your Highness, we also have to offer a treasure."

"Treasure? Come and take a look!"

Guo Hao signaled Chen Lin when he heard this. Chen Lin took out a box from the gift, opened it and handed it to the maid, and took it to Li Jingsui.

"This is tea?"

"The prince is indeed unique in his eyes. This is tea, but it is different from the previous tea, and the citation methods are also different."

"Oh? I have seen many tea leaves, can I still drink flowers?"

"The prince used to drink tea by cooking, but this kind of tea was too rich and lost the true meaning of tea.

Because the ancients made tea and had to be ground, and when it was ground, it would be ground. When it was ground, it would be ground, and then the tea would be filled with dust and dust.

So when I print the dragon and phoenix balls with the medicine, the tea spirit will float when I see the soup. This is used to be tender but not old. We have no time to make tea, and we have no time to grind it, and it has all the essence. This soup must be pure and the essence will begin to develop.

When the soup is so soaked, take it. First pour a little pot, remove the cold air and pour it out, and then pour tea.

It is advisable to drink too much tea, and do not lose the right way. If the tea is heavy, the taste will be bitter and fragrant. If the water is better, the color will be clear and the air will be weak. After two pots, use cold water to clean the pot to make it cool and clean, and the tea fragrance will be reduced.

If the jar is cooked, the tea spirit is not healthy. If the pot is clear, the water nature is always good. After the tea water is used, then the glutinous rice is divided into two types. The glutinous rice should not be early, and the tea spirit should not be late. If the tea spirit is not released early, the wonderful fragrance will disappear first."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Li Jingsui also understood that Guo Hao’s tea is indeed unique.

"As you said, I want to taste your tea."

"Even so, the boy dares not obey. The prince just finished drinking wine and was just right to drink tea to refresh himself."

"It's so good, come here, prepare tea sets."

The prince spoke, and soon someone brought the tea set up. Guo Hao washed his hands first, then calmed down and waited for the water to boil.

"Your Majesty, give tea in an orderly manner, do not miss the right thing. First, then pour the soup every day, add half of the tea, and then fill the soup with the soup.

In the day, the soup first and then the tea. In the day, the day is in the day. In the spring and autumn, the summer is in the summer, and the winter is in the winter.

Drinking tea is precious if there are few guests. If there are many guests, there will be noisy. If there are noisy, there will be noisy. If there are only sun gods, the two guests will win every day, the three or four days will be fun, the five or six days will be spread, and the seven or eight days will be given.

Fragrant tea has a true fragrance, orchid fragrance, a clear fragrance, and a pure fragrance.

The inside and outside are like pure fragrance, and the sun is fragrant without being cooked. The sun is fragrant when the heat stops. The sun is fragrant before the rain. There is also fragrance containing fragrance, leakage, floating fragrance, and incense. These are all unrighteous spirits."

Guo Hao said as he demonstrated to King Qi, and finally poured out two cups of tea and signaled his maid to take it over.

"Tea is green and green, blue and white, yellow, black, red and dark, and not all of them are included in the taste. Snow waves are the best, green waves are the middle, yellow waves are the bottom, new springs are active fire, tea is the mysterious work, jade tea is the blue, jade tea is the ice sway, and cup of branches is the last.

The taste is sweet and moist, and bitter as the lower one. The tea has its true fragrance, true color and true taste. Once dyed, it will lose its true nature, like saltiness in water, material in tea, and fruit in bowls, all of which are distorted.

Please try it, Prince.”

After saying that, Guo Hao closed his mouth and watched King Qi drink tea. Whether Cheng or not depends on this sip. He and Chen Lin were a little nervous.

Li Jingsui served the tea, first smelled it, and then savored it carefully, but he didn't seem to feel anything special, but the princess next to him reacted.

"Prince, drinking tea in this way has a fragrant smell and a sweet taste after bitterness. It is really refreshing and refreshing."

"Oh? Why didn't I drink it?"

"Haha, didn't Mr. Guo just say that drinking tea is expensive because there are fewer guests. If there are many guests, there will be noisy, and if there are noisy, there will be noisy, and if there are noisy, there will be noisy, and if the prince is hung up and absent-minded, how can he explain the true taste of this tea?"

Listening to the couple's conversation, they both felt a little drunk. King Qi was indeed a little drunk. He didn't feel anything on the road before, and he felt a little sleepy after sitting down, so he naturally couldn't drink it.

"What I am saying is, this is not the case with me. The King of Japan is indeed a little tired, which has disturbed the two of you're happy."

"Since that's the case, the grass people will take their leave first."

Guo Hao heard what the King of Qi meant, so he and Chen Lin left the palace. The princess ordered someone to send them away, which was very polite.

After leaving the palace, Chen Lin was still a little nervous and asked, "Brother Guo, do you think this Prince Qi likes our tea?"

"This is hard to say. Tea is indeed a good tea, but there are many people who can't drink it. I told him very clearly today. If he really can't drink it, we can only try other people."

Chen Lin nodded when he heard this, thinking in his heart who else could he visit. There were many civil and military officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but there were really not many suitable people.

When the two returned to their residence, Qiunan made a "ah" sound. Guo Hao nodded at him with a smile, and Chen Lin looked at Guo Hao's house and frowned.

"Brother Guo, we are not without money. Why do you have to live here? If you really can't do it, there are a few rooms behind the teahouse, which is better than this hut."

Guo Hao disagreed when he heard this and said, "What's wrong with the thatched hut? The mountain is not high, the immortals are spiritual, the water is not deep, and the dragons are spiritual. Only when I live here can I show my indifference. The bigger our business in the future, the more we should keep a low profile."

Chen Lin gave Guo Hao a speechless look. He didn't know who had snatched him into the room. How long has it been, I forgot in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the two people who were interacting (showing their love), Chen Lin felt that he was not suitable to stay here. After dinner, he went back to the inn. Guo Hao didn't stop him. There was indeed no place for him to live here.

The next day, Li Jing then remembered what happened last night, recalled what Guo Hao said, and made a pot of tea again. This time he tasted it.

"Not to mention, drinking tea like this is really a different taste."

"Of course, you got drunk last night, and everything you drink is smelly of wine. I see that the two young men are also elegant people. You may be disappointed when you do this."

"Oh, what should I do? I love to make friends with literati and scholars. I guess they came after hearing this."

The princess nodded after hearing this. She accepted the two of them with great gifts and naturally had to say something good, and it was related to the reputation of King Qi. As for how to drink tea, it was not that important.

"Prince, I have an invitation here, which was sent by those two young masters. I said that I had opened a teahouse. I hope the prince will appreciate his face."

"Teahouse? They are businessmen after a long time!"

"But I don't think that Mr. Guo looks like him, he is a bit talented."

"That's right, so I'll give him some face and go and check it out when it opens!"

Guo Hao didn't know that money finally played a role. When the princess's ears blew, the princess Li Jing agreed to come forward.

If you get Li Jingsui, you will get half of the literati from the Southern Tang Dynasty. There are also reply to other invitations, some who like to make tea and some who don’t like it.
