The Pei family in Hedong can be regarded as a prestigious family. It has been a prominent family in the Three Jin Dynasties since ancient times and is also a famous family with great influence in Chinese history. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Pei family has been filled with heroes, famous ministers and ministers, and has shone in history.

, lush as a forest, there are great men in every generation, shining in the annals of history, a family of dukes and princes, endless crowns and robes.

Pei Xiu's grandfather, Pei Mao, was a minister, and his father, Pei Qian, was now the official of Guanglu and was granted the title of Marquis of Qingyang Pavilion. He had a distinguished family background and a wealthy family. It is no wonder that Pei Xiu made generous decisions and had the style of a great man.

Just looking at the appearance of the Pei Mansion, it is enough to describe it as magnificent. Although the Gaoling Marquis Mansion has the glory of the royal family and seems to have a transcendent status on the surface, in terms of the family's background, compared to a famous family like the Pei family,

, but it is far from it.

Cao Liang asked Ah Fu to hand over a greeting card. When the disciples of the Pei Mansion saw that it was the young marquis of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, they naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately reported back to Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu is also a young marquis. He has just been appointed as the General's House. He is considered a new noble in the General's House. Therefore, the disciples of the Pei House are obviously more powerful than the disciples of ordinary aristocratic families.

Pei Xiu happened to be at home today and received a call from Cao Liang. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although he and Cao Liang met by chance in Yipinju a few days ago and drank together at Cyclamen, their words and deeds clearly made it clear that they were not from the same place.

, Pei Xiu obviously did not regard Cao Liang as a friend, so Cao Liang came to visit today, which made Pei Xiu feel very unexpected.

But unexpectedly, since Cao Liang came to visit in person, Pei Xiu ordered his disciples to welcome Cao Liang to the central hall, and went to the central hall to receive the guests himself.

As soon as Cao Liang saw Pei Xiu, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Brother Pei, I'm glad to meet you. I'm here to build a mansion today. It's a bit abrupt. Please forgive me, Brother Pei."

Pei Xiu said politely: "Brother Cao can come to my house and make the walls of my humble house shine. Please take a seat, come and watch tea."

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

The central hall of Pei Mansion is extremely magnificently decorated. Several screens and screens are made of high-grade mahogany, and the carpet on the floor is made of pieces of animal skin. The exquisite workmanship is breathtaking.

.

The two parties sat down separately, and a servant brought tea.

The custom of drinking tea in China has a long history and can be traced back to the Shennong family. "Tea is a drink that originated from the Shennong family." When King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, tea from Bashu had already become a tribute.

However, tea during the Three Kingdoms period was produced in Bashu. Due to the high cost of transportation, except for the Shu Han, tea has always been an exclusive product of the upper-class aristocratic society and has not yet been popularized among the people.

Moreover, the tea-drinking habits of the Three Kingdoms era are also very different from those of later generations. Rather than making tea, it is better to make tea. Pour the tea leaves and water into a pot, add onions, ginger, dates, orange peels, and dogwood.

Cook mint and other condiments, remove the foam and drink the soup after the water boils.

Cao Liang was obviously not used to this way of drinking tea. If he were in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, he would definitely ask his servants to bring the tea leaves and make the tea himself with boiling water. The tea he brewed would naturally be fragrant and pleasant.

However, in other people's homes, Cao Liang could only do as he pleased.

The tea leaves in Pei Mansion are undoubtedly the best, Mengding tea produced in Yizhou. It is said that this tea is equivalent to gold, one tael of gold and one tael of tea leaves, it can be said to be the best tea, and ordinary people can buy it.

Sorry.

Even in later generations, Mengding Manlu is known as one of the top ten famous teas and is expensive. However, it is a pity for Cao Liang that such good tea leaves were crushed into tea cakes, and even more so when making tea.

All kinds of condiments are added, which is superfluous and loses the original fragrance of the tea. It is a pity.

Cao Liang reluctantly drank a few sips, but the taste of spices in his mouth was overwhelming, so he gave up the cup and talked about business with Pei Xiu.

"I was in Salou a few days ago and learned that Brother Pei is addicted to taking Five Stone Powder. I recently got some of the Five Stone Powder, and I came here specifically to give it to Pei Xiu for tasting."

Last time, it was because of Five Stone Powder that Pei Xiu and Cao Liang broke up on bad terms. Originally, Pei Xiu entertained Cao Liang today, and it was inevitable that he had some knots in his heart. However, when Cao Liang mentioned Five Stone Powder, he immediately became energetic.

Zhen asked: "Brother Cao, where did you get the Five Stone Powder and what is its quality like?"

Cao Liang gestured to Ah Fu, and Ah Fu, who was standing aside, immediately placed a bag of five-stone powder on the tables in front of Pei Xiu respectfully.

Wushi Powder is divided into several grades: top grade, medium grade and low grade. To distinguish the quality of Wushi Powder, you usually observe its color, smell its fragrance, identify its shape and taste its taste.

The top grade Wu Shi Powder is bright in color, yellow with red, has a pure smell, with a light fragrance, fine powder, uniform particles, and a bitter but not astringent taste.

The low-grade Wushisan is reddish-grey in color, pungent in smell, rough in powder, uneven in particle size, and tastes bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow.

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

This is the simplest way to distinguish Wushi Powder, but a real expert can distinguish the ratio of various medicinal stones in Wushi Powder. The top-grade Wushi Powder has precise ratios, obvious medicinal effects, and few side effects.

, and the low-grade Wushi Powder has chaotic proportions, poor efficacy, and may even endanger people's lives.

Pei Xiu is a connoisseur of goods. When he saw the five-stone powder that Cao Liang took out, he showed surprise. This five-stone powder, in terms of color, smell, and fineness, was very similar to the top-grade five-stone powder sold by Yipinju.

Similar, things of the same level.

Pei Xiu picked a little with the tip of his thumb, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, nodded and praised: "It's so loose, so good, it's comparable to Yipinju's Wushi San. I wonder if Brother Cao is it?"

Where did you get this powder? As far as I know, this product is probably not available in the market in Luoyang?"

Cao Liang gave up and did not answer his question, but said: "The efficacy of this powder can only be known after taking it. Why don't Pei Xiu try taking a dose and see what the effect is?"

After Wu Shi Powder was produced, Cao Liang had many people conduct tests within the farm, and it was 100% safe before it was put into mass production.

Without a safety guarantee, even if you borrow a hundred courage from Cao Liang, you would not dare to give it to Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu was naturally able to identify Haolai Lai, so she had no worries at the moment, nodded her head, took out a dose, and drank it with water.

After a moment, Pei Xiu's face turned red, her eyes were a little distracted, and there were dense beads of sweat on her forehead. Her whole body was extremely hot, and she suddenly felt like an ecstasy. Pei Xiu shouted:
Chapter completed!
