The Pei family in Hedong can be regarded as a famous family, which has been the Sanjin dynasty since ancient times, and it is also a famous family with a prominent reputation in Chinese history. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Pei family has been heroic and handsome, famous and virtuous, shoulder to shoulder, glorious prehistory, lush like a forest, there are great people in the generations, brilliant in the annals of history, a prince and a prince, and the crown is endless.

Pei Xiu's grandfather Pei Mao once served as Shang Shuling, and his father Pei Qian is currently a doctor in Guanglu, a marquis of Qingyang Pavilion, with a prominent lintel and a wealthy family.

Just looking at the face of Pei's mansion, it is enough to describe it as magnificent, although the Gaoling Marquis Mansion is stained with the light of the imperial family, and it looks like it has a transcendent status on the surface, but in terms of family heritage, it is far from a famous family like the Pei family.

Cao Liang ordered Ah Fu to hand over the post, and when the people of Pei Mansion saw that it was the little marquis of Gaoling Mansion, they naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately returned to Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu is also a little marquis, and the newcomer has just been appointed as the general, and he is considered an upstart in the general's mansion, so the disciples of Pei's mansion are obviously a little more awesome than the doormen of ordinary families.

Pei Xiu happened to be at home today, and received Cao Liang's greetings, and couldn't help but be a little strange, although he and Cao Liang met by chance in Yipinju a few days ago, and drank together in the cyclamen, but his words and deeds were obviously not all the way, Pei Xiu obviously did not regard Cao Liang as a one-way person, so Cao Liang came to visit today, which made Pei Xiu feel very abrupt.

However, it was abrupt and abrupt, since Cao Liang came to visit in person, Pei Xiu ordered the doorman to welcome Cao Liang to the middle hall, and he personally went to the middle hall to meet the guests.

As soon as Cao Liang saw Pei Xiu, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Brother Pei, I am fortunate to be happy, I came to build a mansion today, it is a little abrupt, and I also invite Brother Pei to have a lot of Haihan." ”

Pei Xiu said politely: "There, there, Brother Cao can come to our mansion and make the humble house shine." Please take a seat, come and watch the tea. ”

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no difference between sitting and kneeling, except that ordinary people used straw mats and bamboo mats, while wealthy people used animal skins or wool blankets, with different degrees of luxury.

The middle hall of Pei's Mansion is extremely magnificently decorated, several case screens are made of high-grade mahogany, and the carpet on the ground is made of pieces of animal skin collage, the workmanship is exquisite, breathtaking.

The two sides sat down separately, and their own subordinates brought tea.

The custom of drinking tea in Chinese has a long history, which can be traced back to the Shennong clan, "tea is drinking, originating from the Shennong clan". When King Wu of Zhou conquered, the tea of Bashu had become a tribute.

However, tea in the Three Kingdoms era was produced in Bashu, due to the high cost of transshipment, except for Shu Han, tea has always been the exclusive property of the upper aristocratic society, and has not yet been popularized to the people.

Moreover, the tea drinking habits of the Three Kingdoms era are also very different from those of later generations, not so much to make tea, but to boil tea, pour tea leaves and water into the pot together, add green onions, ginger, jujubes, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other condiments to cook, after the water is boiled, go to the foam to drink the soup.

Cao Liang is obviously not used to this way of drinking tea, if it is in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, he must ask his subordinates to bring the tea leaves, and take boiling water to brew them themselves, and the tea they brew is naturally fragrant and pleasant.

However, in other people's homes, Cao Liang can only be a guest.

The tea of Pei Fu, undoubtedly the best tea, produced in Yizhou's Mengding tea, is said to be equivalent to gold, one or two gold and one or two tea, can be described as the best in tea, ordinary people can not afford it.

Even if it is left in later generations, Mengding nectar is also known as one of the top ten famous teas, and the price is expensive. However, it is a pity for Cao Liang that such a good tea is kneaded and made into tea cakes, and various condiments are added when boiling tea, which adds to the snake and loses the original fragrance of the tea, which is a pity.

Cao Liang reluctantly drank a few sips, his mouth was full of spices, and the scenery was ruined, so he abandoned the cup and talked about business with Pei Xiu.

"A few days ago, I learned that Brother Pei was addicted to Wushisan, and recently he got a few Wushisan, so I specially came to give it to Pei Xiu for tasting."

Originally, Pei Xiu entertained Cao Liang today, and it was inevitable that there would be some knots, but at this time, when Cao Liang talked about Wushisan, he suddenly felt refreshed and said, "Where did Brother Cao get Wushisan, and how is the condition?" ”

Cao Liang gestured to Ah Fu, and Ah Fu, who was standing on the side, immediately put a bag of five stone scatter respectfully on the several cases in front of Pei Xiu.

Wushi Powder is divided into several grades of upper grade, middle grade and lower grade, to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of Five Stone Powder, generally to look at its color, smell its fragrance, distinguish its shape, and taste its taste.

The top-grade five stones are bright in color, yellow with red, the smell is pure, with a light fragrance, the powder is delicate, the particles are uniform, and the taste is bitter but not astringent.

The color of the lower grade of Wushi powder is red and gray, the smell is choking, the powder is rough, the particle size is uneven, the taste is bitter and astringent, and it is difficult to swallow.

In view of the five stone scatters between the upper grade and the lower grade, it can be called the middle grade.

This is the simplest way to distinguish Wushisan, and the real connoisseurs, you can distinguish the ratio of various medicinal stones of Wushisan, the top-grade Wushisan, the ratio is accurate, the medicinal effect is obvious, and the side effects are small, while the low-grade Wushisan, the ratio is chaotic, not to mention the poor efficacy, but also endangers people's lives.

Pei Xiu can be said to be a connoisseur of goods, as soon as he saw the five stone powder that Cao Liang took out, he showed a surprised gaze, this five stone powder, whether it is color, smell, or delicacy, is very similar to the high-grade five stone powder sold by Yipinju, and it belongs to the same level of things.

Pei Xiu picked a little bit with the fingertips of Xiao Mu's fingers, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, nodded and praised: "It's so scattered, it's good to be scattered, it's comparable to the five stones of Yipinju, I don't know where Brother Cao got this scatter, as far as I know, I'm afraid I won't see this product on the market in Luoyang?" ”

Cao Liang sold Guan Zi and did not answer his question, but said: "What is the effect of this powder, you need to know after taking it, Pei Xiu might as well try to take a dose and see how the effect is?" ”

After the production of Wushisan, Cao Liang has found people to conduct tests many times in the Grange, and it is 100% safe, so it is put into mass production.

There is no safety guarantee, that is, to borrow a hundred guts from Cao Liang, and he does not dare to give Pei Xiu to take it.

Pei Xiu can naturally recognize the good lai, but he has no worries at the moment, nods his head, takes out a dose, and takes it with water.

But after a moment, Pei Xiu's gizzards became flushed, his eyes were a little sloppy, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was extremely hot, and suddenly there was a feeling of fluttering immortals, Pei Xiu shouted: "Cool!" It's so cool! It's really good to scatter! ”
