"Shopkeeper Chen, you ...... Expose my old Cao's shortness again! ”

Cao Cao muttered in his heart, not only was he not angry, but he was also a little embarrassed.

This scene just happened to make Guo Jia next to him see it, and his mouth grew in surprise.

How so?

Who is that shopkeeper Chen? Even Cao Cao wouldn't be angry with him, it's incredible!

Just when Guo Jia was thinking crankily in his heart, Chen Yang's voice came from inside: "Lao Dian, come!" These slices of meat are cooked, how do you feel about dipping them in sauce first? ”

Dian Wei ate it for a while, and then praised: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really a god, not only the wine is delicious, but even this hot pot is also very delicious, refreshing!" ”

Just as they were talking, Cao Cao and Guo Jia outside smelled a burst of fragrance, and saliva flowed out of the corners of their mouths.

"Lao Dian, I heard you mention Guo Jia just now, it seems that you know each other, what is Guo Fengxiao?"

Chen Yang thought that when he used to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his favorite strategist was Guo Jia, and compared with him, Zhuge Liang might have to stand aside.

If it weren't for Guo Jia's death on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, then it is not known who will win and who will lose.

Then, Guo Jia outside heard Dian Wei say: "Guo Jia is an alcoholic, in fact, he doesn't know anything, let me tell you, my cousin Dian Wei can dump Guo Jia for a few streets, and there is nothing to say." ”

Chen Yang: "......"

No way?

Is Guo Fengxiao so weak?

Guo Jia, who was eavesdropping outside, didn't look very good, if it wasn't for Cao Cao's pull, he would have rushed in.

In fact, it was Cao Cao who wanted to continue eavesdropping to stop him.

"Lao Dian, before you drink, you just talk nonsense and eat more food!"

Chen Yang shook his head, obviously not believing Dian Wei's words.

"Boss Chen, if you compare with Guo Jia, who is more powerful?" Dian Wei said.

"Compared with me, Guo Jia is a younger brother!"

Anyway, there is no need to give money to brag, Chen Yang continued: "I have to keep a low profile now, and I don't want to be a strategist, otherwise the prime minister will not have anything to do with him Guo Jia." ”

Guo Jia's face was flushed, a tavern shopkeeper, you dare to talk about me like this? I'm!

When Dian Wei heard this, he laughed happily: "Shopkeeper Chen, you're right, Guo Jia is a younger brother, haha!" ”

"Lao Dian, you really know Guo Jia, right? Then go back and tell him to stop indulging in drinking and playing with women, if you continue like this, your life will be short! Chen Yang's sentence can be regarded as a reminder to Guo Jia in the introduction.

Depend on!

Guo Jia really couldn't help it this time, so he went directly to the tavern.

"Fengxiao, don't ......"

Cao Cao, who still wanted to eavesdrop, hurriedly chased after him and pushed the door in.

"Cheng ......"

Dian Wei had just shouted, but when he saw Cao Cao waving at him, he immediately shut up and didn't speak.

As soon as Guo Jia walked up, before he could speak, Cao Cao took the lead and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't imagine that Lao Dian is still hiding from me to come to you for a drink." ”

"It turned out to be Lao Cao, I haven't seen you for half a month, you finally remembered me!"

Chen Yang pulled him to sit down, and said, "Hurry up, please take a seat, who is this?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Lao Guo, my friend, specially brought to introduce you to you. ”

Guo Jia didn't want to be angry, so he grinned.

Chen Yang said: "Since you are Lao Cao's friend, then you are also my friend, please take a seat." ”

After speaking, Chen Yang went back to the back kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

Dian Wei looked at Guo Jia, a little embarrassed, he wanted to brag just now, so he took the opportunity to damage a few words about Guo Jia, and then looked at his angry appearance, obviously heard it outside.

"Fengxiao, wait a little bit, you can't reveal our identity, you know?" Cao Cao reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang came out.

"Lao Cao, you came just in time this time, I made a hot pot, let's eat together." Chen Yang said.

Cao Cao's eyes were immediately attracted by the stove on the table, and under the stove was a fire tray, burning with fire-red charcoal, and the soup in an iron pot was baking.

I saw Chen Yang sandwich a piece of meat, put it in the milky white soup and cook it for a while, then picked it up and dipped it in some sauce and ate it, with relish.

The fragrance I smelled just now came from here, and it looks quite delicious.

Boss Cao had never seen this way of eating, so he couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper Chen, what is this?" ”

Chen Yang said: "This is called hot pot, and it is not easy for me to make it well, so you can taste it first." ”

It's really not easy to make a hot pot in this era, mainly because there are too few ingredients, and I finally found some pepper and reluctantly made a pot of soup.

The pepper was brought back by Zhang Qian in the Western Regions, this kind of thing was very expensive in the Three Kingdoms era, and Chen Yang was only willing to make this kind of hot pot once.

Hearing Chen Yang's introduction, Cao Cao felt very curious and took the initiative to stretch out his chopsticks.

"This ...... It's delicious, it's delicious! ”

As soon as Cao Cao took the first bite, he directly exclaimed: "Moreover, these are freshly cooked, so fresh." ”

"Really?" Guo Jia is still a little resistant to Chen Yang.

Seeing that Cao Cao had eaten it, he was not good at being special, and then as soon as he entered it, he scalded him, and then he also shouted: "It's delicious!" I've never seen this way of eating, it's so delicious! ”

Chen Yang saw that they were all eating so happily, so he said, "Lao Cao, I want to see you, it's really difficult!" The last time I left, it was half a month. ”

"I can't help it, I've been doing a lot lately, I'm too busy."

Cao Cao's smile retracted, and he said with a sad face: "Now that there is a spring drought, there is no rain for half a month, crops cannot grow, resulting in soaring food prices, there is not enough food now, the people are starving, and the army cannot go out, the prime minister has no choice, I have to accompany the prime minister to worry!" ”

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "That's it? ”

Guo Jia said: "Is this matter very simple for you? ”

Chen Yang nodded: "Of course it's simple, it's not just a food problem, let me solve it, it's as easy as a snap." ”

Guo Jia said: "The food problem is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and once it is not handled well, the trouble will be big, and it will not be easy at all." ”

Chen Yang said casually: "Food is not easy for you to handle, but for me, it is really not a problem. ”

Cao Cao saw Chen Yang's confident expression, and he hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, what good method do you have?" ”

Chen Yang said: "Actually, Xu has no grain, but outside Xu Du, there is more grain, and you can't buy it." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "This spring drought is not just a drought in Xudu, but the whole world, even if you have more money to buy, others may not be able to sell it to you." ”

Chen Yang said unhurriedly: "This is not necessarily, Jiangdong and other places, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, have bumper harvests every year, and there must be enough food, and there should be the same in places like Qingzhou." ”

"In addition, there are many princes in the world, there must be a lot of surplus grain in the family, we can buy these, our eyes should not be limited to one Xu Capital, we must look at the world."

Cao Cao felt that this made sense, but he asked again, "How do I buy it?" ”

Chen Yang pretended to be mysterious and said: "How to buy, there is a little trick in this, I promise, as long as I make a move, all the grain merchants in the world will be unable to help but send grain to Xudu, and let the prime minister choose." ”
