Wang Huaqiang picked up the tea bowl, only to see that the color of this tea soup was turquoise, but it was very similar to the Jiangnan green tea of later generations, and there was a layer of white foam floating on the water surface of the tea soup, just like the floating of instant coffee, which should be the tea powder that had not melted just now. He gently blew the hot air on the tea soup, took a sip, and felt a salty, astringent tea smell in his mouth, just like adding salt to Longjing tea, and there was actually a smell of pepper.

Wang Huaqiang put down the tea bowl and frowned: "Why did you put pepper in it?" In this era, there are not as rich seasonings as later generations, and it is necessary to sprinkle pepper when eating barbecue, but eating tea with pepper still exceeds Wang Huaqiang's imagination.

Pei Shiju calmly took two sips of tea and smiled slightly: "These depend on personal taste, some people put pepper, some people don't, I personally prefer to put some, why, Xingman doesn't like this taste very much?" ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't speak, he raised the bowl and took two sips, although he felt that the taste was still a little weird, but after all, the taste of tea was still quite strong, and after many years, he drank tea again, and there was a little excitement in his heart, he shook his head: "It's nothing, this tea is really a good thing, it's completely different from other wine or yogurt or something." ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "This thing is very refreshing, I also see that Gao Servant shoots and often drinks this now, so I learned a little bit from it, Hua Qiang, don't you also open a store in Jiangnan now?" Don't think about doing this business? I've heard that this is a very lucrative business. ”

Wang Huaqiang put down the tea bowl in his hand and smiled: "Last time I came back from Jiangnan, I also transported a batch of these teas, but I just helped other shops transport them." Haven't looked into this closely. If that's exactly what you say. Now in Daxing City, even Gao Servant Shot has started to drink this, that is obviously the popular trend, I was busy with the wine business a while ago, and I was thinking about the soap business I told you last time, but I ignored this, I have to study it carefully when I go back. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Pei Shiju with a smile on his face: "Hongdae, you took the initiative to invite me to tea today." But are you interested in handling this business? ”

Pei Shiju also put down the tea bowl and smiled slightly: "It's not exactly that I mean this, but those celebrities in Jiangnan, Yu Shinan, Yu Shiji brothers, and Pei Yun that I mentioned to you, these people have a lot of tea farms in Jiangnan, and they have also heard of your reputation for doing business, and they intend to cooperate with you to traffic tea from Jiangnan to the north."

On the one hand, now these southern courtiers have gone to the north. Still not completely used to life here, especially without tea. On the other hand, these people in the large estates and tea plantations in the south of the Yangtze River used to rely on the demand of these upper-class nobles of the Southern Dynasty for the tea ceremony, but now these people have come to the north, and the tea in the south cannot be sold, and they are about to go bankrupt and turn to grow grain or mulberry fields. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "This thing is easy to do, I now have my own shop in Jiangnan, and there are several regular caravans between the north and the south every year, last time I just struggled to find a tea farm that produces tea, so I can only temporarily cooperate with some local businessmen to help them consign tea, if you have a way in this regard, it is great." Now it seems that there are no public tea shops in Daxing City, and I can just open a few, just like a winery, and I can also lead a new fashion. ”

Pei Shiju smiled and waved his hand: "These business things, you look at it, I just act as an intermediary for those celebrities, and then plan to invest 200,000 yuan as the capital, specializing in this tea business, if you lose money, it's all this money anyway, you don't have to settle it with me every month, anyway, my money is stored with you, you look at it, just keep an account." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "I didn't expect Hongdae that you also started to buy real estate." ”

Pei Shiju sighed, and his expression became a little lonely: "I am not the long house of the Pei family in Hedong, but just a branch, and now I don't have my own fiefdom and title, but I am just an official from the fourth grade, Gao Servant Shot, General He Ruo, they can be Tian Shelang and enter the Tianzi Hall at dusk, and I can't do it like this, so I quietly save some money and buy some properties to arrange a back road for myself, even if I lose my office, I can also be a rich man." ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't answer this sentence: "Hongdae, let's get down to business, this time I went to Guzang, I met An Xinggui, and I have already taken care of him, he will never send assassins to stab you again in the future, don't worry." ”

Pei Shiju didn't seem to be surprised at all, and said "oh": "You should have more than one An Xinggui." Xue Ju of Jincheng, as well as the three local tyrants in Guzang, have all done it for you this time, right. ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "The eyeliner of the high servant is really everywhere, and he knows it wherever I go." ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "So Gao Servant told me these things, he knows the relationship between us, but he doesn't prohibit me from communicating with you, just to let you know that your every move is under his control." It's okay to say anything else, that is, he seems to be very unhappy when you asked Xue Ju to take people out of the fortress and go to Xingxing Gorge. ”

Wang Huaqiang replied without thinking: "I don't regret this matter, I have to make certain preparations when I meet An Xinggui outside the customs, otherwise I don't know how Lu Dao died, and it is impossible for Gao Fujiao to send troops to protect me, even if he really sent troops, then An Xinggui will definitely not dare to come, this time is just a business negotiation based on strength, and I have given many benefits in order to let Xue Ju contribute." ”

Pei Shiju waved his hand: "Gao Servant Shooting hates Xue Ju very much, and he will not be reused in the future, I listen to him, I hope you stay away from this person." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "This guy is brutal and unkind, ambitious, but short-sighted, just a typical sweet and cool martial artist, who is Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng, who is the sky, is not to worry, and this time I strictly restricted him from going west to Hexi and Guanzhong in the east, basically limiting his power to Lanzhou, the imperial court cannot control every such local powerful faction, I can do this, it can be regarded as worrying about the high servants." ”

Pei Shiju said: "Well, in fact, Gao Servant didn't plan to check on you at the beginning this time, just the matter of the archery range last time, and later Gao Junma went back and said that you were actually there at the time, but when Gao Servant and Yang Servant Shot talked later, they heard Yang Servant Shoot say that you left Daxing, so I thought it was strange, so I began to send eyeliner to check your movements." What the hell was going on that day? ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled bitterly and said a little about the events of that day, and said his original intention to make friends with Li Mi and Yang Xuangan, and then the motives for the relationship with Yang Supan, of course, all the changes that followed, without reservation, and told it all. After finishing speaking, Wang Huaqiang sighed: "Hongdae, do you think I did the right thing?" ”

Pei Shiju's expression has always been very calm, only when he heard Yang Xuangan fainted, his face changed slightly, but he was soon calm as usual, and he didn't say a word until he heard the most reluctant, and only then did he nod slightly: "Although I don't approve of your behavior of being in such a hurry to befriend Yue Guogong, since you have decided so from the beginning, then these dispositions should still be good." Running out overnight and leaving Daxing, although it is not responsible, but at least it is better than waiting to clean up for Yue Guogong, who was on fire at that time, and I will run away if I change it. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "Anyway, I was going to go to Longxi and Guzang, and I happened to encounter this incident, so I could be regarded as giving myself a reason to act in advance." Only Gao Jun Ma Zhilu said that I was in Daxing at the time, and he probably wouldn't tell Yue Guogong about it. ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "Yes, the last time there was a trouble, Gao Servant and Yang Servant also began to compete secretly, Yang Servant felt that he had lost face, and he put a head on Gao Servant, and since then he has completely lost his previous respect for Gao Servant, but completely according to the standards of his colleagues."

After the last archery range, the two parties were both defeated, and Gao Junma was beaten by Gao Servant after returning home, and was ordered to be grounded at home for a year. Then Gao Servant took Gao Junma to the Yue Guo Mansion in person, and apologized to Yang Servant.

As for Yang Shizi, I heard that he was also severely punished by Yang Fu, and he was also confined at home for a year, and he was not allowed to go to the streets or go out of the city to ride hunting and archery. (To be continued......)
