Lu Silang took a sip of tea, frowned a little unhappily, put the tea cup down and pushed it further away, and then Lu Wulang said,
"This is all in the past. Chengdu Prefecture has goods to the southwest, and there is still tea and horse trade on the border of Chengdu Prefecture. Chengdu Prefecture is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not only a choke point on the border, but also a commodity distribution center on the border. I heard that there are still some goods in Chengdu Prefecture.
A trade road specially used for horse trade."
Lu Wulang nodded repeatedly, "A few days ago I also met Jiaozi, who was asked by the Yizhou prefect to issue bank accounts, which was quite interesting."
"Should iron and copper go hand in hand in Chengdu? Is iron money cheaper?" Lu Silang asked.
Lu Wulang nodded, "Yes, that man only wants silver, not even copper coins."
"Chengdu is a good place. You can go to Fanfan to the west, and you can also go to Jiangnan along the Yangtze River to the east."
Shen Nanxun understood every word, but could not understand every sentence.
"What about Menglong?"
Lu Silang thought for a while and said, "Menglong, only you can't think of things you haven't seen before, Menglong and He Niang know better."
After Shen Nanxun had been down for a long time, he only heard one word in his mind, tea.
Born and raised in the North, he had never thought that tea was so important. Now he was eager to know if there was tea in Mengli.
Tea is closely related to the economy, but as for tea and politics, Shen Nanxun wants to go back to the Lu Mansion, ask Mr. Lu, and go to the library to check.
Speaking of the library, Shen Nanxun really wanted to go to the Lufu library.
"I wonder if I can enter the library in the mansion?" Shen Nanxun asked. It's not surprising that Shen Nanxun didn't think so. Books are still precious things, and the only copies in the Nuo Da Library are marketable and priceless. The library is owned by the clan.
Part of our heritage.
Lu Silang wiped the hand that had eaten the fruit and asked puzzledly: "Why not?"
"People with foreign surnames..."
Lu Silang shook his head, "The Lu family is not that particular. It's just that the Lu family's collection of books is far inferior to that of the academy's library, so we are reluctant to go. It doesn't matter whether we can go or not."
"But what book are you looking for?" Lu Silang asked again.
"My knowledge is really shallow. I would like to read some local chronicles."
"Then there's no need to go to the Library. There are a lot of local chronicles at He Niang's place. She doesn't like story books, but she loves local chronicles. What she has there is enough for you to read for a while."
He once thought that the popularity of loose tea in cross-border trade was because tea was not produced in the North, but now it seems that is not the case.
Shen Nanxun looked at the tea in front of him and couldn't sit still. He picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The tea soup was already cold and astringent in the mouth. It wasn't necessarily that delicious. It wasn't even as tasty as the tea soup brewed by Green Flower.
.
"After tea, why don't you go for a walk in the market?"
Lu Silang nodded, and Lu Wulang called Hua Niang.
"I'll post it to Miss Shi at the end of the month. There's been a lot going on at home recently."
The flower girl saluted, "No."
After speaking, Lu Wulang stood up and wanted to leave, "Is Mr. Lang leaving now?"
Lu Wulang nodded, "Let's go, your tea-making skills have regressed a bit."
Shen Nanxun has never been to Kyoto properly, but in recent years, as his son has grown older, he occasionally takes him to the market. He is used to all kinds of snacks and also likes dim sum restaurants. Shen Nanxun only feels that the market is
There is a lot of food to eat, and every time I want something different.

Teahouses are often combined with restaurants, and the distinction is not very clear.
As for the teahouse, it also sells some snacks.
Shen Nanxun didn't think there were many teahouses and teahouses in the streets of Kyoto, but when he arrived in Piling, there were teahouses and teahouses almost everywhere in the streets and alleys. Teahouses were just teahouses, they didn't sell hot food at all, and teahouses only served tea.
Is tea drinking in the South so deeply integrated into people's daily lives? Shen Nanxun couldn't help but ask himself, if real tea is comparable to firewood, rice, oil and salt, then it is true that tea is something that cannot be ignored.
Shen Nanxun looked at the long banners with tea written on them everywhere in front of him. There were four or five restaurants on this street, including teahouses, teahouses, refreshments, and tea shops. If the tea failed, dozens of people on this street would lose their livelihood.
.
If it were one city, one prefecture, one road, I'm afraid tens of millions of people would lose their livelihoods.
Shen Nanxun thought of what Mr. Lu said again, Yan Yan and Shen Jiajun alone were not enough. He was afraid that his father-in-law was also an excuse. This meant that he completely disagreed with his plan that was full of loopholes, and instead led him to find a better one.
way to find a better way.
Tea, is it another way that the father-in-law wants to find for himself, Shen Nanxun thought.
I wandered around aimlessly and ended up writing a book by coincidence.
They saw the Lu family's carriage in front of a teahouse.
Lu Wulang shook his fan and said, "Xiao Shi is here to have tea as expected. Come on, let's have tea too."
Shen Nanxun thought that Lu Wulang was going to drink tea as an excuse, so he found an excuse to enter the teahouse and met Lu Fenghe by chance.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wulang actually drank tea, and without asking anyone, he directly asked the waiter to lead him to the private room, and also asked a familiar tea doctor to make tea.
Do you love tea so much? My sister can’t walk? Shen Nanxun follows with difficulty, but he wants to find his wife.
Fortunately, on the way to the private room, they met Qing Ling and Xiang Yaer waiting at the door of the private room, and they wanted to salute the three gentlemen.
"Okay, you don't need to lead the way. Our tea will be delivered here later." Lu Wulang told the waiter.
Qingling knocked on the door and invited the three men in.
Sure enough, I was having tea. Looking at the fruit tea on the table, it seemed that I had been eating it for a long time.
"Hey, how did you find this place?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Lu Wulang sat down shaking his fan, "We met by chance. I saw the person next to you at the door."
Lu Fenghe and Qin Ling'er didn't doubt it at all, and even asked them if they had ordered tea and refreshments, and what would they like to add?
"Don't worry about it. It's over. Let's have a cup of tea and rest." Lu Wulang spread out on the chair without a proper posture, "I just met Daimao, and he said he wanted to leave a message for you to invite you to visit the lake."
Only then did Shen Nanxun know that the flower girl from earlier was called Dai Mao.
Lu Fenghe was not concerned about visiting the lake, but, "Where did we meet? In the street market?"
Lu Wulang was amused, "Now that Daimao girl is an courtesan, why do you need to go to the market to buy it yourself?"
"Have you gone to Yingyan Pavilion?" Lu Fenghe's voice raised two levels.
Shen Nanxun only now knew that the brothel was called Yingyan Pavilion.
Lu Wulang still looked like he was not formal, "How else could I still meet her in Lu Mansion?"
"Fifth brother, how can you go to a place like that!"
Lu Wulang sat up straight, "Is it abnormal for me to go to that kind of place? It would be abnormal for me not to go."

Lu Fenghe blushed, "Fifth brother, you...how could you take Dalang Shen with you!"
"Oh, he also said that Mother He doesn't care about you, so I'm going to take him with me. She's worried about me." This was said to Shen Nanxun.
After that, he said to Lu Fenghe: "Take him to have tea and rest. Why are you so anxious? He can't go even if you can go? You are making no sense."
Lu Fenghe blushed and explained to Shen Nanxun, "Don't listen to my fifth brother's nonsense, I...I'm going to find grandma to learn some tea, and to play with Dai Mao and the others...I...I'm going to do it anyway.
Business."
When Shen Nanxun saw Lu Fenghe with a red face and jumping around, he just wanted to rub him into his arms. He was such a lovely person.
