The three-day holiday is precious to Liu Bei. Hang out in the market with Su Shuang and Huang Xu all day long. The houses in the market that had no plan, but were like thatch in the field, growing on their own, gave Liu Bei infinite surprises.

Being able to build another house means that the clan and the vassal people are already self-reliant. Hearing about the affairs of Lou Sang, there are still many relatives among the attached people, who are moving from other places one after another. There is no need for Liu Bei to worry about this. Once you enter the courtyard, there are two pavilions, and you can live in many relatives. At this time, the village was covered and there was nowhere to build. Even Liu Bei was helpless.

If you want to expand, you can only destroy the fields and make land. Not to mention Liu Bei, even the old patriarch categorically would not agree.

A settlement of thousands of people is nothing at this time. Which powerful landlord didn't have tens of thousands of slaves? Keeping house slaves, maidservants, and singing and dancing prostitutes has almost become a fashion at this time. As mentioned earlier, the celebrities who come to Lousang mostly bring their own concubines to advocate excellence. This is a stroke of flow, and there is no need for Lou Sang Shaojun to bother.

Drinking alcohol is not old enough. But there's no harm in having a cup of tea.

Qi Min boiled tea leaves into vegetable porridge to eat, and Liu Bei felt that it was not advisable. Fortunately, tea cakes are used in the tea house. At this time, the simple processing of tea had already appeared. Fresh leaves are pounded with wooden sticks into cake-shaped tea balls and dried in the sun or dried for storage. Drinking method, using the boiling tea method. First, mash the tea balls and put them in a pot, pour boiling water and add green onions, ginger, oranges and other flavors.

The reason why it is still seasoned is because the tea is bitter. First bitter and then sweet.

The sweetness and bitterness in tea are said to be this principle.

Generally speaking, high-temperature tea soup is easy to reveal a bitter bottom. The higher the water temperature, the more bitterness in the tea will be released, if you don't want to drink too much bitterness and astringency of the tea, medium and low temperature brewing is appropriate.

The tea of Liu Bei's family is called fragrant tea. In addition to the right temperature for brewing tea, there is also one most important utensil - yarn sac. The function of the yarn sac is similar to that of a tea bag. The ground tea powder is packed into a spun yarn bag and then brewed with warm boiled water, and honey syrup is added to taste, the tea is clear and naturally sweet.

Tea, tea soup, and tea porridge, just from the literal sense, you can also see the difference between the three.

I am used to drinking my own sweet tea, and then I come to drink the salty and bitter tea soup of Chaliao, which is really difficult to swallow.

Seeing Lou Sang Shaojun frowning, he put down the tea bowl. The hostess of the tea house understood that Liu Bei was not here for tea.

"Why did the young monarch come?" The hostess asked with a smile.

"I heard that my sister is from Nanyang, but I don't know Nanyang Guo Zhi." Liu Bei is young and doesn't like to go around corners.

"Nanyang Guo's family, naturally know." The woman smiled and nodded. Seeing her age, she doesn't seem to be very old. Looking at the brand-new bones on the bun, it may have just reached the age of fifteen.

"Now that you know Guo Zhi, why don't you go to the wine to see each other." Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"I've never known him all my life, why do I want to see him?" The woman asked rhetorically. She had heard of Nanyang Guo's family, but she didn't know Guo Zhi.

Liu Bei nodded, "So, why did my sister come?" Is it just to sell tea? ”

"Definitely." The woman really had another purpose, "Three months ago, Nanyang Guo's self-produced bedding. It is said that it is the true biography of Lousang Liu. I didn't believe it, so I came to find out. ”

"I see." Liu Bei understood, "So, my sister will stay in the tea house and wait for me to send it to the door." ”

"Yes again." The woman smiled: "Fortunately, God does not live up to me, so I waited for the young gentleman." ”

"My sister wants to make bedding too?"

"Hmm." The woman nodded first, then shook her head. After a few moments, he took down a wooden box from the upper attic. After opening it, he took out an object from it, "Can Shaojun recognize this thing?" ”

How could Liu Bei not know. Exactly the brown silk. Brown silk used to make palm mats!

Jiangnan is rich in palm trees, and most of them use brown silk to weave cloth, called brown clothing, also known as 'palm clothing'.

"Sister from Jiangnan?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"My ancestral home is Jiaozhou." The woman smiled: "In the early years, I accompanied my eldest brother to Nanyang to learn from him. Therefore, there is a lack of Wu accent. ”

Jiaozhou ...... Liu Bei had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be the Jiaozhou Shishi?" "The famous big family in Jiaozhou is obviously the Shi family.

"Exactly." The woman then said the calendar: "The name of the slave family is different. It is Jiaozhou Shishi. ”

Strange.

Liu Bei asked again: "Who are you Shixie (xiè)?" ”

"It's my brother." Shiyi replied again: "When my brother was young, he was taught by Liu Tao, a great Confucian in Yingchuan. I crossed the river with him and read together. Liu Jun was filial piety, and he was the head of Shunyang, and his brother accompanied him, so he also moved to Shunyang. I have lived in Nanyang for a long time, and I have heard many local local accents. ”

Shunyang is subordinate to Nanyang. It is indeed true to say that the woman came from Nanyang. It's just that there are many twists and turns.

"My sister is a big family in Jiaozhou, and it is not difficult to learn the skills of bedding. Just cut open the mat and get a look. Why did you come to Lou Sang to see me? Liu Bei smiled brightly.

How could the woman not know, apricot eyes kicked slightly: "Lou Sang bedding, famous in the world." Everyone in the world knows the mat skills, from Zhuoxian Liu. If my family imitates it without authorization, will it make the world laugh at it? ”

As Liu Bei thought.

Just like Nanyang Guo's family, he sent people to Lousang to learn art. Jiaozhou Shishi, all he wants is an authorization.

In this era, it is important to make money, but it is even more important to earn money decently. Without Lou Sang Liu's authorization, even if Jiaozhou Shi made the palm mat, the celebrity Coats would be ashamed to buy it. Without their support, no matter how good the mat is, it will not sell.

At the end of the day, reputation is everything. Cherishing feathers is not just talking.

Thinking about the 'recruiting Liu Bei' that has been spread all over the north. With this gold-lettered signboard, not to mention the horses on credit, Hu Shang will even drive the horses all the way to Lousang in person!

It's called fame.

"My sister wants to learn the skills of Lou Mulberry bedding. But you don't know what to exchange? Liu Bei got to the point.

"My family's tea art." It's good to have a whimsical idea. In the past, there was Nanyang Guo's nine brewing in exchange for Lou Sang bedding skills. Why not use tea art for sleeping skills today?

"Naturally, it is a great necessity." Liu Bei shook his head: "Nanyang Guo's 'Nine Thoughts' can be ranked alongside 'Ganli'. It is known as the sweetness of the five qi. And your family's tea-making skills are commonplace. ”

"Have you ever eaten tea art better than mine?" Shiyi's face was full of disbelief. How can the people of the North be proficient in this?

Liu Bei sighed: "Sister, can you move and go to my house?" ”

"When I heard that my wife was steadfast in her steadfastness, I wanted to visit him as soon as possible. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about today? "The woman is afraid of long nights and dreams.

"That's good." Liu Bei nodded and smiled.

Atrium, in front of the church.

Guests and hosts sit separately. Gongsun sent a cup of tea to Shiyi.

Liu Bei pointed to the crystal clear celadon cup and said with a smile: "Other people's families eat tea." When I arrived at my house, I wanted to drink tea. ”

Shiyi held it with both hands, covered it with long sleeves, and put it in his mouth.

Sure enough, it moistens the throat and quenches thirst.

Good tea.

Then he sighed and put down the porcelain cup, leaned over and saluted: "It is worthy of Lou Sang Shaojun." Not only proficient in many weaving skills, but also proficient in tea art. Different, teachable. ”

"As I said before, if my sister wants to learn the art of bedding, she needs to exchange it for something else." Liu Bei smiled and asked: "I don't know what my sister is proficient in except tea art?" ”

"This ......" Shi Yi thought for a while, and then replied: "Shaojun, have you heard of 'Shunyang Wei'?" ”

"I haven't heard of it." Liu Bei shook his head and said.
