The tea these days is also called Tu. Because it has a bitter aroma, it is used as an ingredient for cooking. Li Yu went to the kitchen of this era on a whim and saw the seasonings that looked like tea. He was very happy when he smelled it. He let people dry and stir-fry these fresh tea leaves with water drippings and selected tea leaves that were not fried and burnt. Although it did not have the pure taste of tea leaves in later generations, it finally had a little fragrance, which was better than drinking when entertaining guests.

Unfortunately, although the price of this tea leaves is not high, it is only produced in Bashu and Qi generation. It is basically carried by merchants at will, and there is no special trafficking. The amount is not very high. Li Yu asked Huan'er and others to buy it on a large scale and only purchased less than 200 kilograms. Due to the unripe fried skills, almost most of the tea leaves were burnt, and only about 20 kilograms were burnt without burnt, which made Li Yu feel distressed.

However, a few times before, Li Yu took out the fried tea and treated the eunuch Ling Guo Kai and Sicheng Ling Gongsun Mao. He found that they were used to drinking wine and did not like this thing. He did not take it out as a treat. Instead, he enjoyed the taste of bitterness and sweetness alone, and even gave it to the two little beauties who liked this taste.

"Huan'er, have you bought this kind of tea leaf today?" Li Yu remembered and asked again.

"General, today a Qi merchant came to the city and brought 30 kilograms of tea leaves. They were all bought by my servants, but the price of tea leaves increased by 10%." Huan'er said excitedly about the harvest today. Knowing that the general liked the fried tea leaves that were a little bitter, Huan'er and Lan'er naturally tried their best to buy it, and learned to drink the hot water made from the fried tea leaves. It's true that the little sweetness after the bitterness gradually made them fall in love with it, just like they are now with the general. However, when talking about the price of tea leaves, Huan'er was a little depressed. The merchants in Qi had raised the price of 30%, but she finally persuaded her to drop it to 10%. The extra hundreds of dollars made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, it's only 10%. Remember to be careful when cooking. There are not many such things." Li Yu didn't care much about the low price of tea leaves. He also knew that his big purchase would increase the price of tea leaves on the market, but he didn't expect it to be only 10%. It seems that the merchants of this era are still very credible.

"promise."

Reminiscing the faint sweetness, Li Yu enjoyed the comfortable massage of the two little beauties, slowly thinking about what to do next. The most urgent task is to open up a business road. Without the support of money, many things cannot be done.

"General, Guo'er sent five thousand gold today. I have already taken it to the treasury. I wonder if it is appropriate?" He gently helped the general press his eyebrows and Huan'er reported the affairs in the mansion.

"Well, just accept it." Li Yu had long guessed about Guo's actions, and he didn't mind accepting it. It was common for nobles to exchange rituals.

"The Ukrainian Mansion has sent the eighth invitation, and the Zhuo Mansion has sent the fifth invitation." Thinking of the two gold invitations, Huan'er also mentioned by the way, who made only those two of the hundreds of invitations made in gold.

"Well, I'll go to Wu Mansion to have a banquet today." Thinking of the two families that were as famous as the Guo family's wealth, Li Yu chose Wu Mansion to have a banquet. After all, he earned the eight golds of others, so he always had to give the other party a face.

"Okay, it's not too late, I'll go to Wu Mansion now, you can have dinner by yourself."

"promise."

He asked someone to go to Wu Mansion to inform him, and Li Yu took more than a hundred personal guards to the north of the city.

The Wu family mansion, as the Animal Husbandry King of Zhao, was not around the Zhao Palace, but in the north of Handan City, occupying a large corner northwest of Handan City. It stands out in this commoner residence area and is even more majestic. There are high walls and thick walls around the Wu Mansion, and it is also diverted to form a river protection. The only passage is a large suspension bridge. There are gardens nearby and there are no houses. It is majestic and powerful, better than the king of the king. It is not an exaggeration to call it a fort, and its scale is only slightly inferior to the Zhao Palace. It is said that the Wu family was personally given to the Wu family with the blood of the Hu people by King Wuling of Zhao, who had provided war horses for Zhao for generations, and could also own five thousand soldiers, which created the rapidly rising Wu family.

A personal guard went to speak to the guard guarding the suspension bridge, and then a man galloped and ran quickly into the fort, while the others respectfully invited Li Yu to enter. He had received the orders from Wu's family long ago, so of course the guards should be careful.

After passing the suspension bridge and entering the main entrance of Wujiabao, what catches you is a huge martial arts training ground that can accommodate thousands of people to practice together. A huge house with a huge atmosphere stands facing the other end of the main entrance, with houses on both sides of the left and right. Its scale is more spacious and grand than the Guo Mansion that Li Yu had visited before, but it is less refined and comfortable. Both have their own advantages. Furthermore, the Wu family is only a family that has risen in the past century, and it is still a little different from the Guo family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years.

While admiring the structure of Wujiabao, Li Yu heard a sound of horse hooves. Looking in the sound, he saw dozens of people galloping towards them.

The leading man raised his hand, and the people behind him stopped several feet in front of Li Yu's team. Dozens of horses stood upright and stopped suddenly, but did not make any neighing sounds, which shows his ability to control horses.

"Hahaha, I have been waiting for it for a long time, and finally waited for General Li to come in person." The leading middle-aged man stepped forward and greeted Li Yu and hugged him and greeted him.

"It is Li Yu's blessing to be able to get the warm invitation of the Lord of Wubao." Without any introduction, Li Yu knew that the strong middle-aged man in front of him, who was two sizes bigger than him was the Wujiabao Fortress, who was raising war horses and cattle and sheep to accumulate endless wealth by raising war horses and cattle and sheep.

"General Li, please." Without introducing the Wu clan members behind him, the Wu clan stretched out his big hand and asked Li Yu to move forward. The domineering style of the head of the family was fully revealed.

"Please, Master Wubao." Li Yu admired the boldness and cheerfulness of Wushi. Compared with those hypocritical social engagements that were full of politeness, this was still in line with his taste.

When he walked towards the brilliant mansion ahead, Li Yu looked carefully at the top rich man from the famous country beside him. The extremely strong Wu Shifu was taller than him. He was wearing a yellow brocade robe and did not have many accessories on his body, but in every move, the demeanor of a wealthy family was fully displayed. If he hadn't noticed the white hair in the other person's ears, Li Yu would have really disbelief that Wu Shifu was nearly fifty years old. At this age, he could call himself an old man, but the other person was so fierce. I heard that there were dozens of descendants, and he was awesome.
