Chapter 464: Cao Mengde Eats Watermelon
Song Yichen enthusiastically introduced Guo Jiadian and Wei Heqi behind him to Cao Cao, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed, this Dian Wei and Guo Jia originally followed Cao Cao, but now they were abducted by themselves, if Lao Cao knew that his chief strategist and chief bodyguard were gone, would he be angry and break off his friendship directly?
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and He Qi curiously, Dian Wei's figure was placed over there, and he knew that he was a super thug at a glance, which made Lao Cao envious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, Guo Jia and He Qi shocked him, the age of these two people is inevitably too young, right!? But he will not doubt the words of Brother Yichen, genius children are not nothing, the example of Gan Luo is there, and he also deceived people everywhere when he was very young.
After welcoming Cao Cao into the city, neither Huangfu Song nor Zhu Jun came over to say anything, and Song Yichen had to say embarrassedly: "General Huangfu and General Zhu are busy with military affairs, I'm afraid they won't be able to come for a while." ”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard this, he also knew that Song Yichen was giving himself a step, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song would of course look down on him as a eunuch, and he was also helpless about this, he couldn't avoid his background, and he didn't know when he would be able to get rid of the notoriety after the eunuch, after all, the ancestor of the Cao family was Cao Shen, who followed Gaozu to fight the world.
Song Yichen naturally saw Cao Cao's helplessness, so he had no choice but to say: "I learned that Brother Meng De was coming, and the younger brother had already asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and we will not be drunk today." ”
Cao Cao had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, and he was not negative for long, and when he heard Song Yichen prepare wine and food, his eyes lit up: "But there is that elixir and jade dew?!"
When Huang Rong named her own liquor, it was directly called Qiong Jelly Yulu, and at first, many people were very disdainful of this name, thinking that she was too sharp, but after tasting it, everyone's thoughts changed, compared to this Qiong Jelly Yulu, the wine they drank before was simply difficult to swallow.
There are still sales in Luoyang, of course, because their hunger marketing is not something that ordinary rich people can afford, even rich people like Cao Cao have to grit their teeth and be ruthless when they drink this elixir and jade dew.
Cao Cao also knew that the elixir and jade dew were Song Yichen's industry, and Huang Rong also sent someone to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and others to send a few jars, and he also thought about buying a few jars through the back door, but was told that the production was insufficient and could not be supplied, which made him helpless. Now that Song Yichen is invited to drink, he naturally will not miss such a good opportunity and wants to have a big drink.
"No problem, as much as you want. Song Yichen patted his chest and responded, you want wine, this couldn't be easier.
At this time, someone came up with a watermelon, Cao Cao's face changed greatly, this bright red made him think of blood, he really didn't expect that Brother Yichen would let this blood-drenched thing be served, if he didn't believe in Song Yichen's character, he would definitely suspect that this was deliberately making things difficult for himself.
"Brother Meng De, come and eat, this is the fruit watermelon that we have recently planted in large quantities, it is very delicious~" After speaking, Song Yichen handed Cao Cao a piece, and he also picked up a piece and ate it. Watermelon was introduced to China during the Song Dynasty, and Song Yichen saw that the summer was hot and the common people had nothing to eat, so he brought this cross-era fruit. Anyway, they are now enclosing the sea to create fields, and those tidal flats are just right for planting watermelons.
Rao is Cao Cao has never seen a watermelon, no matter how well-informed he is, he carefully took a watermelon, and saw that his brother Yichen and Guo Jiahe, Qi Dianwei and others were eating with relish, and he closed his eyes and gnawed the watermelon in the same way. The sweet juice soon spread through his tongue, and Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly! It was so delicious! And it wasn't bloody at all!
Cao Cao, who knew that the watermelon was delicious, was not reserved, and ate it directly one by one, not even caring about the melon flesh on his beard, and the five of them quickly wiped out the essence of these watermelons.
"How is it?!Brother Meng De, does this watermelon taste good?!" From Cao Cao's previous demeanor, he could see his feelings, and Song Yichen couldn't help but ask, how good do you think the ancients were to entertain? A watermelon will satisfy them! In modern times, just a watermelon is even embarrassed to take it out!
"Very good, very good! sweeter than honey. Cao Cao said with satisfaction.
Dian Wei Guojia and others on the side were slandered in their hearts, when the lord enclosed a large number of fields from the sea, those lands could not be planted with other crops for the time being, and could only grow watermelons, and now the watermelons in Huiji have been flooded, and they have eaten a lot before, and they have long been surprised, and now Cao Cao, a big family, has not eaten it, which makes them proud.
Song Yichen nodded, it seemed that in ancient times, the drink commonly used by rich people was honey, and Yuan Shu still wanted to drink honey before he died. Now that Cao Cao eats watermelon for the first time, he will naturally be full of praise. "If Brother Meng De likes it, just take some from the younger brother. ”
"Then the foolish brother is welcome. "Cao Cao won't be polite to Song Yichen, who of the two of us will be with whom!?
At dinner time, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were late, there was no way, Song Yichen set up a banquet to invite them, they still had to give this face, even if they didn't look at Cao Cao very cool, not to mention that there was also Qiong Jelly and Jade Dew here! Just for this fine wine, it was worth them to throw away the festival and run to rub the wine.
"Brother Meng De came this time, we have enough manpower, now let's discuss how to deal with that wave of Cai army!" After drinking and eating enough, Song Yichen proposed, Cao Cao is now also a cavalry captain, bringing a lot of cavalry, which has greatly improved the strength of the official army.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun nodded when they heard this, they didn't like Cao Cao, the main reason was that they still minded his background, but they didn't mind the soldiers and horses brought by Cao Cao! With the addition of these soldiers and horses, they had more confidence.
Cao Cao was excited when he heard Song Yichen's words, this is the rhythm of pulling himself into the gang! Before, he was worried that they would exclude him, but now when he saw Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun expressing their positions, he also let go of his hanging heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been no rain for several days in the middle of summer, and the thieves do not know how to cut the weeds inside and outside the camp, but instead camp on grass, and these camps are the most likely to catch fire. Huang Fu Song hesitated at this time to say his thoughts, although this idea is good, but the weather and wind are very demanding, and the possibility of failure is not low.
Song Yichen nodded, this is how the fire of the Changshe was successful in history, and he agreed to Huangfu Song's plan at the moment. And Zhu Jun also agreed after thinking for a while, but if you want to do this, it is best to wait for the direction of the wind. Cao Cao is naturally fine, he doesn't know much about the situation, so it's not good to say much at this time. (To be continued.) )
