Chapter 4: Lao Cao and Xiao Cao

Chen Yang, who was in Xudu, didn't know that what happened in Wancheng had happened, but he knew that it would inevitably happen.

On that day, after Cao Cao came to the tavern once, in the next half month, Chen Yang's tavern began to be unattended again.

However, Chen Yang was not idle.

After getting the wine money from Cao Cao last time, he started his own money-making plan.

First of all, Chen Yang spent a lot of money to build an iron pot for stir-frying, and then made a simple distillation device.

In the end, he also changed the tables and chairs in the tavern, because the tables and chairs in the Three Kingdoms era were low and uncomfortable to use.

After such a toss, that little money was about to be spent by Chen Yang.

"Small fortune does not come out, big wealth does not enter, and when my wine opens up the Xudu market, I can make a lot of money." Chen Yang is comforting himself.

This half month passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yang finally used that simple device to make the first bottle of distilled spirit, but the alcohol content was too high, and it guaranteed alcohol poisoning in one sip, and the smell of a large stream of alcohol was unpleasant.

You must know that the reason why the wine in later generations is so fragrant is because those big distilleries hired perfumers with high salaries to come back to make it.

So, Chen Yang went outside to buy a lot of materials for bartending, but unfortunately there were not many things that could be used in the Three Kingdoms era, and he traveled all over Xudu, and could only find some simple things such as honey and osmanthus nectar.

Chen Yang took another two days, and after failing I don't know how many times, it finally became a success.

After success, Chen Yang began to be distressed again.

"There is not much money left, we have to push this wine out of the market in Xudu as soon as possible, even if it is to sell a bottle, otherwise, we will have to eat soil in a few days."

After dividing the wines, Chen Yang returned to the counter and began to calculate the recent cost.

Today's tavern continues to open, as always, no guests come in, and it seems that it has been another busy day.

"Shopkeeper Chen, long time no see!"

Just when Chen Yang was distressed, a familiar voice came from outside.

Chen Yang looked up and was suddenly surprised: "Aren't you that old Cao?" I haven't been here for half a month, I'm going to kill you! ”

Seeing that it was Cao Cao who came in, Chen Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Thinking that Cao Cao was fake, but thinking that Cao Cao's money was definitely real, Chen Yang seemed to see a money bag walk in the door.

The old Cao in front of him is a local tyrant.

Last time, I gave myself a lot of money for wine, and I was very generous.

"Old Cao?"

It was the first time Cao Cao had heard someone dare to call himself that, and then he also smiled and said, "That's right, it's my old Cao!" ”

There was another person beside Cao Cao, it was Cao Ang, the eldest prince looked at them in disbelief.

When did Cao Cao ever be polite to the shopkeeper of a tavern?

Never!

Chen Yang pulled him into the table and said with a smile: "Old Cao, sit down, who is this?" ”

He looked at Cao Ang.

Cao Cao smiled: "My son! ”

Chen Yang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Xiao Cao." ”

Hearing Chen Yang call himself the same, the corners of Cao Ang's mouth couldn't help twitching, but Cao Cao had no opinion on "Old Cao", so he smiled in response.

According to what Cao Cao said, Cao Ang knew that his little fate was saved by Chen Yang, so his attitude was much more polite.

"I said Lao Cao, I said goodbye last time, and I only came here once in such a long time, and you guy is too disagreeable!" Chen Yang was not polite to them, and said jokingly.

"Aren't I going to attack Wancheng with the prime minister? It's half a month. ”

Cao Cao smiled, and his tone became solemn again: "However, Shopkeeper Chen, you are really like a god, Zhang Xiu really surrendered first and then rebelled, thanks to your reminder, otherwise the prime minister's loss would be great." ”

Chen Yang was silent for a while, and asked, "Old Cao, are you saying that Grand Prince Cao and General Dian Wei are not dead?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang beside him, nodded and said, "If it weren't for your words, he might have died!" ”

That's not dead!

Chen Yang was wondering, would his actions change history?

But soon he dispelled this idea again, he had already crossed over, that is, the biggest change in history, no matter what he changed, just live happily.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I plan to recommend you to the prime minister, with your talent and ability, if you can assist the prime minister, why worry about big things." Cao Cao looked at Chen Yang expectantly.

Chen Yang waved his hand casually: "Lao Cao, forget it, I'm the most afraid of trouble." To be a small shopkeeper and make a little money, I will be satisfied, you must know that Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, likes other people's wives the most, and I think it is a bit dangerous to be his adviser. ”

Ahem......

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned red, and he had already scolded Chen Yang over and over again in his heart.

You kid, can you give me Lao Cao a little face? I just have such a hobby, I don't need to emphasize it again, it's still in front of Xiao Cao's face.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart, it turns out that in the eyes of you Chen Zi'an, I am so unbearable.

But he didn't break it.

Cao Ang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard such a bold sentence, but strangely, his father was indifferent.

If someone else dared to expose Cao Cao's shortcomings like this, they would have already fallen to the ground.

"Lao Cao, what are you blushing for? Could it be that your wife was also ......," Chen Yang asked curiously.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, it's just a little hot!" Cao Cao immediately interrupted Chen Yang's words, afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense.

Now it was only the beginning of February, and it was not hot at all, Chen Yang looked at Lao Cao curiously.

Cao Cao avoided his gaze and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really powerful, after I told the prime minister what you said, I came back from Wancheng and rewarded me with a lot of things, since you refuse to be an official, these gold should be regarded as my repayment to you." ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao took out three ingots of gold from his arms and put them in front of Chen Yang.

"Lao Cao, it's not right for you to do this, you are actually polite to me, am I the kind of person who loves money?"

Chen Yang pretended to be angry, but when he said this, he picked up the gold with both hands very honestly and put it away with a smile.

Later, Chen Yang said: "Lao Cao, you are really interesting, I don't treat you badly, today I will let you witness history." I've got a good bottle of wine, guaranteed you've never drunk it before. ”

Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Give it a try! ”

Chen Yang smiled and went back to the kitchen to get his wine.

At this time, Cao Ang, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Father, can this son really believe it?" I see him with a hippie smile, he is a street man, and he may have been right about what he said last time. ”

Cao Cao also put away his smile and said, "I'll test him later, if it can really be used, it's naturally the best." ”

"If it can't be used, there is no other loss, so let him continue to be this shopkeeper."

"However, this person is not simple, I think, I can trust him, but I can't believe it all."

If you want to say that Cao Cao is suspicious of nature, it is for sure, engraved into his bones.

Cao Ang nodded, and was about to speak, but Chen Yang came out with a wine bottle.

"I said shopkeeper Chen, what good wine can you have here?"

Cao Ang changed his words and said: "My father and I have been following the prime minister, we have all drunk the best wine in the world, you can't fool people, right?" ”

Hearing that this Xiao Cao dared to question himself, Chen Yang immediately said: "Later, you will know what is called fine wine, and after drinking my wine once, you will feel that other drinks are not as good as swill." ”

As he spoke, he set the glass, and opened the bottle.

A unique aroma permeates the entire tavern.
