This is not the Datang I am familiar with

At this time, Concubine De also pinched one and took a bite.

"Hey, I don't taste like fish, but what I tasted was mutton."

"Sister Xin'er, I can't taste the taste of fish, but mine is not mutton, but pork."

Several empresses each took one to eat, but suddenly tasted several flavors.

"I guess the lotus root made by the son-in-law is not a taste."

Wu Meiniang looked at Chen Fang, and said lightly, as she finished eating the lotus root she squeezed.

"Empress Shengming, it is indeed not a kind of stuffing. There are four kinds of stuffing stuffed into this lotus root, namely pork belly, beef and mutton, and fresh fish from the lotus pond in the workshop."

"No wonder, how to distinguish these four kinds of lotus root? I just ate a fish one, and I have to try the others!"

Originally, when the empresses spoke, they would call me the palace, but at this time the empress empress is here, and these empresses usually call themselves me, so as to distinguish them from the empress.

Otherwise, everyone is their own palace, but it is chaotic.

"Empress Concubine De, I can't tell the difference now!"

Chen Fang was helpless. He didn't make a special distinction when he was doing it. Now they are all mixed together. How to distinguish them?

"Several sisters, whoever eats pork, mutton and beef will share half of Xin'er."

Concubine De immediately thought of this method after hearing Chen Fang's words.

"Concubine De, this is pork, I'll share half with you."

There, Li Zhi handed half of lotus lotus to Concubine De!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, there are also beef and mutton, sisters, whoever eats will give half to Xin'er."

At this time, eating here is very lively, because there are four flavors of lotus root, but there is no way to distinguish them. Only by eating can you taste different flavors, so all the empresses shared the food, even the majesty and the queen were no exception.

While eating, a few little people ran in, Taiping saw that all the ladies were eating, and hurried to the food box, seeing that there were more things in it, and then smiled sweetly.

Picking up a lotus root, Taiping Meimei took a bite.

Brother Li Xian also surrounded him at this time, and was about to reach for it, but was beaten by An Ding.

"Have you washed your hands? Take it!"

The elder brother Sanhao was depressed, and the younger sister didn't wash her hands, she finished eating one and was taking the second one.

But after looking at Sister Huang, he could only wash his hands in depression, how dare he argue with Sister Huang.

Chen Fang is no stranger to the scene where the third brother is being subdued by An.

Wu Meiniang and the group of children, except for the special status of the prince, are all men who are afraid of women.The third brother Li Xian was killed by An Dingzhi.

At this time, everyone was eating happily, there were no court ladies and eunuchs here, all the empresses ate whatever they wanted, and the princesses and princes ate without image.

At this time, Taiping has one right hand and one left hand, both left and right bows.An Ding is a ladylike image, biting one lightly, but eating it much faster than usual.

Chen Fang is well prepared, but he is not afraid of not being enough.

After a while, the empress was full of food, Chen Fang hurriedly ordered Luluo to prepare tea, the empress could not let the maids see her ugly appearance, the tea was brewed by Luluo, and Chen Fang brought it in.

At this time, drinking tea and eating lotus root is a joy to eat.

Wu Meiniang was full at this time, she wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and looked at Chen Fang.

"Ever since I ate the concubine's food, I have gained some weight."

"My lady is not fat!"

Chen Fang looked at Wu Meiniang, she didn't gain weight, she didn't at all!

"The queen mother is not fat, but Taiping is fat!"

Little Taiping was also full at this time, and after eating one, let Wu Meiniang hug her.

Wu Meiniang put Taiping on her lap, and pinched His Highness's cheek.

"It's fat! Taiping will soon catch up with those little pink pigs."

Taiping made a pig's mouth grimace, and the empresses lost their image with laughter, trembling wildly.

At this time, Chen Fang also brought tea and took a sip.

"My son-in-law, have you tasted any tea yet?"

"Your Majesty asked the minister, but the minister can only tell that it is green tea, smell good, taste good, but really don't know what kind of tea it is."

"Nuqian Longjing!"

Chapter 359

His Majesty faintly said four words, "Dragon Well Tea before breasts", Chen Fang looked at his teacup again, and took another sip, but he still couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.

"My son-in-law, do you know why this tea got its name?"

Chen Fang really wanted to tell His Majesty, damn it, how could this minister not know.

But when he saw His Majesty's smiling face, he saw that several empresses were already looking towards this side, including Wu Meiniang.

What should be done at this time, Chen Fang has already had a clear mind.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this subject, please enlighten me."

Over there, His Majesty looked at Wu Meiniang, who took Chen Fang's hand and pointed to his chest.

Your sister, don't be so direct, okay, this tea can't be made by the queen, right?

This seems wrong, this tea is famous, but every year around the Grain Rain or Qingming Festival, young virgins around the age of 16 are selected. Here must be virgins, that is, girls, not women.

Then go up the mountain in the early morning to pick the best tea leaves. At this time, the tea leaves are not placed in a frame or a bamboo basket, but wrapped in their own clothes and warmed on their chests.

After picking tea, I went down the tea mountain and came back all the way.

The tea picked at this time is named Ruqian Longjing, and the fragrance of the tea naturally carries a hint of virginal daughter fragrance.

It can be said that this tea is extremely famous, and even later other teas imitated the Ruqian Longjing method, such as Maojian and Biluochun.

Later, it became one of the most famous tea products, milk tea.

In modern times, the reputation of this kind of pre-milk tea has gradually faded. Why, women have turned the world upside down.

Ruqian tea can be said to be a special product of the feudal era, and only this patriarchal era can produce this kind of tea.

Among these teas, Ruqian Longjing has always been the most famous.

At this time, Chen Fang looked at Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang, you must not do it, this tea needs a virgin, are you a virgin?

Looking at the princes and princesses in the palace, Chen Fang really wanted to point to Wu Meiniang and ask.

No, Niangniang didn't say that she covered it by herself, what was she thinking, she just reminded herself of the origin of this tea.

"I selected the best tea from Suzhou and Hangzhou as a tribute, and put it here for a whole night, so it is called Ruqian Longjing!"

Chen Fang almost sprayed Wu Meiniang with a sip of tea.

This was really covered by Wu Meiniang.

"My son-in-law..."

Seeing Chen Fang stunned, Li Zhi couldn't help but yelled.Chen Fang woke up immediately, and then knelt down directly.

"I deserve death for my crimes! I really don't know the origin of this tea, this tea should only be tasted by Your Majesty."

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this, his son-in-law is good at everything, but he cares about such a small matter.

There, Wu Meiniang had already walked up to Chen Fang and helped him up.

"It's okay. I've covered the Longjing tea used here. Your Majesty likes to drink it. I thought you would like it too, so I let you drink it, but it scared you."

"I just like the smell of Mei Niang everywhere."

What else can Chen Fang say, you husband and wife really know how to play, and you play, but it scares me enough.

This tea is fake tea, your Mei Niang is not a virgin!

But His Majesty can say whatever he likes.

If His Majesty asked the old maid to cover the tea, what could Chen Fang say.

"Luluo, go get some Longjing tea, and bring them back to my son-in-law and my beloved daughter."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Chen Fang quickly declined.

"No refusal is allowed, do you think it was me who covered it up?"

Chen Fang is flustered!What can I say, I can only sigh that Ersheng can play.

This was originally the most famous tea in history, it was almost a classic, and it was completely ruined by you.

Luluo carried a tea bag, at this moment Chen Fang quickly and carefully caught it, and then stuffed it directly to his wife for her to hold.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the minister will take his leave first."

"Well, let's go!"

Chen Fang took Yiyang Gao'an away, when he got into the carriage outside the hall, Chen Fang let out a long sigh.

"My son-in-law, do you like this tea?"

"Extremely excellent!"

Chen Fang didn't say whether he liked it or not, he just said two sentences in succession.At this time, I can't say good or bad, for fear of being passed on to the empress's ears.

"I'll cover it for you in the future, and you can drink it!"

Chen Fang looked at Gao An, you women are really good at playing today.

"If you want to cover it, it's your sister who covers it. How can you cover it once like your sister?"

There, Yiyang put his hands on Chen Fang's waist, and Gao An's eyes burst into flames, and he grinned.

At this time, there was a fight in the carriage, and Chen Fang just wanted to curse.

If the two highnesses really united to bully him, how will they live in the future, the two princesses have not officially entered the family yet!

At this time, he held Yiyang with one hand, and patted Gao An's buttocks with the other.

"If it's the other way around, I'll see if my son-in-law doesn't deal with you properly."

After entering the Tang Workshop, Chen Fang took the bag of tea, entered the workshop owner's courtyard, opened the tea bag, and smelled it carefully, but this time he smelled a different smell, it really had a trace of Wu Mei Niang's body fragrance.

Chen Fang is very sensitive to fragrance, so he can smell it.

With his keen grasp of the taste, he can already confirm that it was really Wu Meiniang who smothered it.

I will drink this from now on, by the way, ask Zheng Meiren to cover herself, she is a serious virgin, and she has body fragrance, that is, more than sixteen and seventeen, but the older son-in-law prefers it.

It was raining outside at this time, but I didn't know when it would end. Looking at the lotus pond from the window, the promenade beside the lotus pond was in a hurry at this time, and most of them turned to the cafeteria.

It's time for the workshop to close.

Two young women walked hand in hand along the corridor, but they naturally became the lotus pond, a landscape in the corridor.

Chen Fang didn't know where Yaxing came from, but he took a few bamboo umbrellas and went straight out of the yard.

Taohong Yinye was about to enter the gate when Chen Fang stopped her.

"Walk with me in the rain!"

"Yes, Prince Consort!"

Holding an oil-paper umbrella with a slightly slanted surface, under the dimming sky and the continuous summer rain, Chen Fang hugged Taohong and leaned on his shoulder with silver leaves, looking at the withering hibiscus in the pond.

"My son-in-law, I got the news today that the batch of weavers and embroiders will arrive in Chang'an in early July!"

"Oh, so soon?"

"On the waterway, the Xiao family stopped almost all the big ships on the Grand Canal in order to hurry. These big ships can go all the way to Luoyang day and night."

Chen Fang nodded. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal at this time is actually quite different from the later generations.

The Grand Canal of later generations detoured to Luoyang, but at this time the Grand Canal was an important waterway connecting Luoyang and the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the Sui Dynasty wanted to build the Grand Canal, there were actually two purposes. The first was to connect the north and the south, especially the south of the Yangtze River.

In the original Chinese history, the north has always been fertile, while the south has always been barren. In the Han Dynasty, the south has always been the place of exile by the imperial court. You can imagine how desolate it is.
