Tea has existed in China for a long time.

However, the era when it was later national drinks spread throughout the country was to the Tang Dynasty and the later eras of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

After Song Dynasty, tea leaves were familiar. Because of the iron pot, stir-fried tea appeared, so soaking water to drink stir-fried tea became the mainstream way to drink tea.

Before the Tang Dynasty, tea had a strange status and various ways of drinking.

The earliest tea leaves were used as medicine for curing diseases and as sacrifices for sacrifices.

At that time, people did not have iron pots, did not know how to stir-fry tea, nor could they drink tea water by soaking. Naturally, they did not think that tea was a drink, but regarded tea as a medicine.

During the Han and Three Kingdoms period, tea gradually changed from medicine to high-end drinks. Some of the dignitaries and nobles in the palace liked to drink tea in their own way.

The kind of tea soup with a lot of ingredients.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, tea became more popular, and by the Tang Dynasty, tea gradually became popular.

After the Song Dynasty, tea was a favorite drink for the general public. In some places, tea is almost a must-have for a day.

In the period when Mr. Guo was still in the era when tea changed from offerings and medicines to high-end beverages, some people still used tea as medicines, and some people used it as sacrifices.

Of course, some wealthy figures drink tea in various ways they have created to strengthen their bodies.

During the Tang Dynasty, the method of using ginger, garlic, salt and mutton oil to cook tea began to appear from this period.

Anyway, Mr. Guo has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years and has never thought about drinking tea.

Drink drinks and white water in informal occasions, and drinks with wine in formal occasions. Anyway, his daily life will not lack drinks, juice, honey water, and strange drinks mixed with various fruits and vegetables.

So for a long time, Mr. Guo didn't expect tea to exist.

Previously, after Cao Xiu escorted Liu Zhang and others from Chengdu, he brought him some gifts, such as silk, rare insects, etc., including some tea leaves.

After seeing these dried tea leaves, Guo was surprised for a long time. Since he didn't recognize it as tea leaves for a while.

Cao Xiu thought that Mr. Guo didn't know how to use this thing, so he personally demonstrated how the big family in Shu consumed this high-end rare product.

When Cao Xiu set up a small pot and cooked the tea leaves into a small pot with strange colors and even more strange tastes, Guo swallowed with difficulty.

All kinds of ingredients will be added to cook.

And salt.

And oil.

After taking a sip, Guo felt the malice from this world.

Mr. Guo felt that they either treated tea as a simple casual drink, but more likely, they were cooking as a soup, and they were more likely to cook tea as a tonic.

Cao Xiu had a great drink.

Mr. Guo failed to persevere.

The smell really made him unable to bear it.

But this did not prevent Mr. Guo from thinking of making money by planting tea trees in Jiangnan, harvesting tea leaves, and then stir-frying tea to make tea that can be soaked and drunk.

Since there is the ability to be popular all over the country or even the whole world in the future, it is enough to prove that the charm of tea can conquer all mankind.

The fragrance before the entrance, the bitterness at the beginning and the sweetness after the aftertaste, always makes Mr. Guo unable to stop.

Moreover, tea really has many benefits to the human body.

Whether it is for real benefits, or the habits of previous lives, or the need to make money, Guo Peng felt that he needed to use his identity as an emperor to promote the historical process of tea in China.

As the emperor, Mr. Guo had the willful capital to do whatever he said, so he immediately asked the inner court to send reliable personnel to the Jiangnan area to make arrangements.

Mr. Guo chose to start building a tea garden in the northern section of Kuaiji County, which is Qiantang County near Hangzhou Bay.

He sent someone to plant tea trees, studied the techniques and techniques of planting, and brought the iron pot over to use it as a tool for stir-frying tea.

Mr. Guo told the people in the inner court that they would stir-fry tea in an iron pot, stir-fry the fresh green tea leaves until there was no moisture, and then send it back to Luoyang to let Mr. Guo try how it tastes.

Because I don’t know what kind of fried tea the emperor likes the most, in order to please the emperor, the people in the inner court kept preparing many fried teas.

Some were completely killed, and some were retained in humidity, which made Mr. Guo laugh and cry.

But this is also good. Mr. Guo also has the time to taste which one feels like he likes the most.

And finally I found the real feeling of drinking soaking tea water.

The fresh fragrance made him intoxicated, and in an instant, he felt like he was confused in time and space, and he felt like he was going back to his previous life.

Although I don’t know what kind of tea this is, nor how much it is used, nor how to make the tea taste better. I don’t know what kind of tea is like before and after the rain in the morning, and I can’t taste and evaluate tea in detail.

But that feeling is real, it is the feeling of drinking green tea.

This is enough. As long as someone who is in the process of drinking tea, someone will definitely make up for everything in the future.

Many years later, tea will also become popular all over the country.

All kinds of things will appear, all kinds of tea stir-frying techniques will appear, and different tea drinking customs will appear, and there will be tea fairies and tea saints, perfectly summarizing the tea culture.

What should be there will be, but what is lacking now is just time.

For now, Mr. Guo has a new type of beverage other than boiled water and dinner wine.

You can drink tea instead of always drinking water, drinks and drinks.

The sweet drink and a slightly sour wine are not what Guo likes. The endless taste of the tea leaves after a little bitter makes Guo feel happy and relaxed.

I felt that the time was coming, Guo Peng started a wave of operations, spreading his own way of drinking tea in the palace, introducing it to the ministers, and personally named the tea [Tea].

Not long afterwards, under the leadership of Guo, a large number of high-ranking officials and nobles in the court directly passed the tea-sing stage of onion, ginger, garlic, salt and mutton oil, and directly entered the tea-drinking stage of soaking boiled water.

Although I don’t know if this will make China’s tea culture lack, as far as Guo himself is concerned, it is really difficult to accept that kind of tea soup.

It is easy to promote it to the public.

Because Guo Peng liked it, the ministers also liked it. As the saying goes, if the superiors liked it, the subordinates would follow it.

Soon, the bureaucratic group began to like this simple-operated soaking beverage, and really thought that this tea, which was slightly bitter but had a lingering smell, was very delicious.

However, because this thing is exclusively used by Mr. Guo, it is only rewarded and not sold. Some people know what tea is, but they don’t know how to operate this way of drinking tea, so they are blinded.

Tea was quickly recognized as a high-end luxury product, and only emperors and high-ranking officials could enjoy it, and it was difficult for others to enjoy it.

At this moment, Mr. Guo realized that the inner court could manage the tea business and monopolize the national tea supply. At a time when tea production is low and tea production is even lower, tea production is turned into a high-end luxury product to cut the rich people's leeks.

Do it as soon as possible, and Mr. Guo immediately ordered the tea business to be included in the management system of Dongchang, allowing Su Yuan to control the overall situation.

The Dongchang was ordered to recruit people to expand tea gardens and tea cultivation bases in Qiantang, and start growing and cultivating tea trees in large quantities.

We also began to experiment with making tea in large quantities, explore methods that have high success rate and higher tea rate, and further summarize experience and technology to gradually light up the essential technologies in the tea industry.

Before this, tea still existed as a high-end luxury product to make money for Mr. Guo.
