1.66 There are women who are different
The three-day holiday is extremely precious for Liu Bei. He wanders around the street market with Su Shuang and Huang Xu all day long. The houses on the street that were not planned but grew on their own like thatched grass in the fields gave Liu Bei infinite surprises.
The ability to build a house in another way shows that the clan and the people who are supporting themselves are all supportive. After hearing about Lou Sang's affairs, there are still many relatives among the people who are moving from other places. Liu Bei does not need to worry about these. Once he enters the courtyard, there are two pavilions, and many relatives can live in the clan. At this time, the village is full and there is nowhere to be built. Even Liu Bei has no choice but to do anything.
If you want to expand, you can only destroy the land and build land. Not to mention Liu Bei, even the old patriarch would definitely not agree.
A settlement of thousands of people is nothing at this time. Which powerful landlord does not have tens of thousands of slaves? Raising family slaves, maids, singing, dancing and prostitutes has almost become the fashion at this time. As mentioned earlier, most celebrities and gentlemen who come to Lou Sang have their own concubines to promote their excellence. There is no need for the young master of Lou Sang to worry about this.
Drinking is not old enough. It’s okay to eat a cup of tea.
The editor Qimin made the tea into vegetable porridge for eating, but Liu Bei thought it was not advisable. Fortunately, tea cakes were used in the teahouse. At this time, simple processing of tea leaves had already appeared. The fresh leaves were mashed into cake-shaped tea balls with wooden sticks, dried or dried for storage. The drinking method was to use the method of cooking tea. First, mash the tea balls and put them in a pot, pour boiling water and add onion, ginger, oranges, etc. to season.
Why do you still need to season? It is because the tea is bitter. It is bitter first and then sweet.
The sweet and bitterness in tea is what this is said.
Generally speaking, high-temperature tea soup is prone to reveal bitter bottom. The higher the water temperature, the more bitter the tea leaves will be released. If you don’t want to drink too much bitterness in the tea leaves, it is advisable to brew it at medium and low temperatures.
The tea from Liu Bei's family is called fragrant tea. In addition to the appropriate temperature for making tea, there is also the most important utensil - a yaoba. The function of a yaoba is similar to a tea bag. Put the ground tea powder into a yaoba and brew it with warm boiled water, add honey to season it. The tea water is clear and naturally sweet and saliva is produced.
Tea, tea soup, and tea porridge can also be seen from the literal point of view.
I am used to drinking my own sweet and beautiful tea and then drinking the salty bitter tea soup from the Teahouse is really hard to swallow.
Seeing that Lou Sang Shaojun frowned and put down the tea bowl. The hostess of the teahouse realized that Liu Bei did not come for tea.
"Why did Shaojun come from?" the hostess asked with a smile.
"I heard that my sister is from Nanyang, but I don't know if I can recognize Guo Zhi in Nanyang." Liu Bei was young and didn't like to go around.
"Nanyang Guo family, naturally know." The woman nodded with a smile. Seeing that she was not old, she looked at the brand new bone hairpin on her hair bun, maybe she had just reached the hairpin (fifteen years old).
"Since I know Guo Zhi, why don't I go to the winery to meet?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"I have never met him, why do you want to meet him?" the woman asked back. She had heard of the Guo family in Nanyang, but she didn't know Guo Zhi.
Liu Bei nodded, "So, why are my sister coming from? Could it be just to sell tea?"
"No." The woman had another purpose, "Three months ago, Guo's family in Nanyang gave birth to a mattress. It was said that it was the true teaching of Liu's family in Lou Sang. I didn't believe it, so I came to check it out."
"So that's it." Liu Bei understood, "So, my sister sent her to the teahouse and waited for me to come here."
"Yes again." The woman smiled and said, "Fortunately, God will not let me down, so I waited for the young master."
"Sister wants to make bedding mats, too?"
"Yes." The woman nodded first, then shook her head. After saying a moment, she took off a wooden box from the upper attic. After opening it, she took out something from it. "Can you know this thing?"
How could Liu Bei not know that it is brown silk, the brown silk used to make brown pads!
Palm trees are abundant in Jiangnan, and straw raincoats are mostly woven with palm silk, called brown clothes, also known as ‘brown strawcoats’.
"Sister is from Jiangnan?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"My ancestral home is Jiaozhou." The woman smiled and said, "I accompanied my elder brother to Nanyang to learn from my master. Therefore, I lacked some Wu accent."
Jiaozhou... Liu Bei had a flash of inspiration: "Is it the Jiaozhou Shishi?" The famous big family in Jiaozhou was obviously the Shishishi.
"That's right." The woman immediately said: "I have a different name. It's the Shishi of Jiaozhou."
A stranger.
Liu Bei asked again: "Who is Shixie??"
"It's my brother." Shi Yi replied again: "When my brother was young, he worked as a great scholar in Yingchuan, Liu Tao. I crossed the river with him and read with him. Later, Liu Jun was filial and honest, and was the eldest son of Shunyang. His brother was with him and moved to Shunyang. He lived in Nanyang for a long time and was influenced by many local accents."
Shunyang belongs to Nanyang. It is true that women come from Nanyang. However, there are many twists and turns.
"Sister is a big family in Jiaozhou, and it is not difficult to learn the skills of the bedding. Just cut the bedding and you can tell at a glance. Why do you still come to Lou Sang to see me?" Liu Bei smiled brightly.
How could the woman not know? She kicked her almond eyes slightly: "Lou Sang's bedroom mat is famous all over the world. Everyone knows the skills of bedroom mats, which come from the Liu family of Zhuo County. If my family imitates it without authorization, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?"
If Liu Bei thought.
Just as Guo, a member of Nanyang, sent someone to Lou Sang to learn arts, the Shishi of Jiaozhou, only an authorization is required.
In this era, making money is important, but being able to make money decently is even more important. Without the authorization of Lou Sang Liu, even if the Jiaozhou Shishi made a brown mat, the celebrities would be ashamed to buy it. Without their support, the brown mat would not be able to be made well.
In the final analysis, in this era, fame is everything. Cherishing feathers is not just a saying.
Thinking about the "Liu Bei" that has been spread throughout the northern Hu merchants. With this golden signboard, let alone credit horses, Hu merchants will even rush the horses all the way to Lou Sang!
This is called reputation.
"Sister wants to learn the skills of Lou Sang and Sleeping Mat, but I don't know what to exchange for?" Liu Bei said the key point.
"My tea art." The man had a whim. Before, Guo, a Nanyang family, exchanged the skills of Lou Sang's bedding. Now, what's wrong with using tea art to exchange for sleeping skills?
"Of course, it's a big deal." Liu Bei shook his head: "The 'Nine Blossoms' of Guo' in Nanyang can be ranked alongside 'Ganli'. It is known as the sweetness of the Five Qis. But your tea-making skills are common."
"Have you ever eaten a better tea art than my family?" Shi Yi looked disbelieving. How can people in the North (local) be proficient in this?
Liu Bei sighed: "Can you move to my house?"
"I heard that the wife is loyal and upright, and the other party wanted to visit her. It is better to choose a day than to meet the day, so what about today?" The woman was afraid that there would be more dreams at night.
"That's great." Liu Bei nodded and smiled.
Atrium, in front of the hall.
The guest and the host sat down separately. Gongsun then delivered a cup of tea to Shiyi.
Liu Bei pointed to the clear celadon cup and smiled, "Other people eat tea, but when they arrive at my house, they want to drink tea."
Shi Yi held it up with his hands, covered it with his long sleeves, and put it into his mouth.
Sure enough, it is sweet and moisturized the throat, quenches thirst and promotes salivation.
Good tea.
Then he sighed and put down the porcelain cup, leaned over and saluted: "I am worthy of being the young master of Lou Sang. Not only is he proficient in many weaving techniques, but he is also proficient in tea art. He is taught."
"As I said before, if my sister wants to learn the skills of bedding, she needs to exchange it for something else." Liu Bei asked with a smile: "I don't know what my sister is proficient in apart from tea art?"
"This..." Shi Yi thought for a brief moment and replied: "Have you heard of 'Shunyangwei'?"
