In Youzhou City, the most powerful thing is spices.

The spice orders are all scheduled for two months.

With only one item of grass fruit, the current order quantity requires 100,500-food sea boats to transport enough quantity.

When he arrived at the Liang Palace in Youzhou City, Yelu Longqing held a big banquet.

The northern part of the Liao Kingdom was tribal, and the southern part was the same as the Song Dynasty. The food, music, culture, and ethics here were basically similar to the Song Dynasty because of the fusion of the Han people.

After three rounds of drinking, Yelu Longqing spoke, "You can choose the items that Anping Hou is interested in in my royal palace."

"It's good to have wine." Liu An raised his glass gently.

"Okay, please!"

It was not too easy for Yelu Longqing to get Liu An drunk, but when Liu An was slightly drunk, he stopped urging him to drink and ordered a separate courtyard to arrange for Liu An to rest. The guards in the courtyard were Liu An's people. Yelu Longqing did not arrange a person outside the courtyard, but only added 200-night patrol guards outside the courtyard.

The next day, in Yelu Longqing's study room.

Yelu Longqing did not call the clerk, there were only Liu An and Yelu Longqing in the room.

Yelu Longqing took out a sheepskin letter to Liu An, and then handed over another piece of paper.

Liu An didn't know the words in the letter, and he believed that scholars from later generations might not know them. Liu An only knew that this kind of words was called Khitan Xiaowen. This kind of words was created a hundred years ago and was destroyed by the long river of history a hundred years later.

Another piece of paper was written in Chinese, so Liu An could naturally understand it.

The content of the letter is a letter of war.

The letter of war brought to Liu An by the great leader of the Kelie tribe.

After reading the letter, Liu An looked up at Yelu Longqing: "His Royal Highness Liang."

"I'm not sure if I'm talking about it, I can call you and me here."

"Okay, Brother Longqing. Is this subordinate of Kelie's soldiers telling you that Brother Longqing, they have the courage to fight, and they are also telling the people of the world that they dare to declare war on me, Liu An. By the way, they are still guilty. Let's do this. It just so happens that I am in Youzhou, and they must have sent someone to talk."

Hahaha. Yelu Longqing burst into laughter.

That's right, Liu An is absolutely right.

If you really dare to fight, just send troops directly, why use the War Book? The era of writing the War Book was the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains. By the Warring States Period, there were always wars undeclared. Those who really dared to fight would never be too late to speak on a piece of paper, and would speak with swords and arrows.

"Call them here another day and talk about our affairs today."

Yelu Longqing didn't take Kreid's tribe seriously.

At present, among the five strongest tribes in Mongolia, only the Tatar tribe truly followed the Great Khitan, and the rest had different intentions. As the Song lord, the Liao Kingdom was also secretly supporting the Tatar tribe and the Kriet tribe to compete for hegemony on the grassland.

After the Tatar tribe killed the great nobles of the Krei tribe, they would definitely offer their heads and prisoners of war to the Liao Kingdom.

Because the Liao Kingdom was the culprit of the Tatar tribe.

Liu An said to Yelu Longqing: "Why, I support the Krei tribe and then we bet."

"good."

Smart people need not be too complicated to speak. Yelu Longqing knew very well that if there was no internal struggle in the grassland, once the grassland tribes were combined into one, the Liao Kingdom could not withstand it.

Yelu Longqing sat opposite Liu An and took out the precious and top-quality porcelain he bought from Song Shang.

"This is a good porcelain produced by the top porcelain last year. But I feel that the top five kilns in your top five are good, and the top ten may not be weaker than the first one. I guess the second big competition will change in two years."

Liu An also took out a bamboo tube from the bag he carried with him: "Today I will change the way to drink tea, please ask my brother Longqing to send me a set of tea sets I reserved."

"good."

The matcha method used in the Song Dynasty tea set, Liu An had not much green tea in his hand. This was what he arranged for people to reserve for himself in Hangzhou. The number was not large, and the tea garden where the tea picks was named by Liu An.

Soon, the tea set that Liu An asked was delivered.

There is a glass cup, but Liu An believes that it is not yet time to take it out. Now the Liao Kingdom is still poor, so he asked the Liao Kingdom to dig up two years of mine, build a wasteland for two years, and raise cattle and horses for two years, so I will talk about it if I have some money.

Green tea, before the rain, white cloud bee, one shot and one flag-level.

"I gave the tea garden owner a pound of tea and one tael of gold. They started taking care of the tea trees carefully last winter, then picked them at the designated time, and then stir-fry them out by my method. I couldn't afford to drink this tea before, but I really couldn't afford it. I just delivered it to me a few days ago. Today I'm the first to share it with Brother Longqing."

Can't afford to drink?

Yelu Longqing's heart said:

Liu An used to be a businessman, but he was not a big businessman but he didn't wear it. One tael of gold was only ten cents of money, but ten cents of money could not afford to drink a pound of tea?

Or is it that Liu An was just the son of a businessman in the past, and no one would choose tea trees in the tea garden, pick tea at a designated time, and then use his method to process the tea?

Liu An couldn't explain this.

In his previous life, Liu An couldn't afford to drink this tea. Even if he had money to buy a little, he might not be able to buy it.

Liu An used not a round teapot, but a small bowl with a dish.

From boiling water, washing cups, washing tea, cold water, brewing.

Every move of Liu An was full of ritual, and Yelu Longqing saw a kind of piety in Liu An's eyes.

In the first soak, Liu An poured all the water, and then the second soak filled Yelu Longqing and himself with water.

Yelu Longqing looked down at his tea bowl.

I saw that in the white porcelain bowl, the tender tea was like a sparrow tongue, dark green in color, and the fragrance was emitted from the green liquid.

Liu An slowly approached his lips with his tea bowl in both hands.

When the tea was eaten, Liu An was stunned.

Similarly, Yelu Longqing was also stunned.

This tea is unusual. This is Yelu Longqing's reaction. He is proficient in Han culture and also knows tea. He also has his own matcha technique. This tea has a unique fragrance and has a long and long life. It is slightly bitter but has a fragrance on the cheeks.

Liu An was stunned because this was not the familiar bean fragrance, but a light orchid fragrance.

Orchid!

Liu An had the urge to immediately order the garden to be surrounded.

I've heard of it, but I haven't drunk it once.

Orchid is the best.

"Good tea, Ange'er is a person who knows tea."

Liu An shook his head gently: "Shame, this is the first time I have drunk such tea. I have used to have bean-flavored flavor. This is the first time I have such a top-quality orchid fragrance."

“Good tea.”

When they were tasting tea, Liu An and Yelu Longqing both tasted the tea quietly.

Suddenly Yelu Longqing asked, "The Emperor of Song has never drunk it, right?"

"At present, only you and me, or the owner of the tea garden has tasted it."

"Didn't plan to present it to the Emperor of Song?"

"Let's talk about it."

Yelu Longqing smiled slightly: "If Song Jiantai knew about it, it might be a crime of disrespect."

Liu An waved his hand: "There are so many crimes that can be justified as accidental discovery and then trying. After all, it is a new thing. I, the Marquis of Anping, naturally tried it myself for the sake of the officials. Brother Longqing may not know that I, Liu An, have tried poison for the people of the world and have played for the officials. If he dares to impeach me, I will bite them to death."

Ha ha ha ha.
