Chapter Twenty-Four: What Do You Think, Ling Jun? (Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes)
Cao Cao and the three followed Chen Jue to the main hall.
Sitting down, Chen Jue spread his hands and said:
"Don't be in a hurry about eating, the prime minister has something important to do on this trip, is it just a sudden interest?"
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said indifferently:
"Cao and the owner of the village hit it off at first sight, and they often miss it in Yecheng, so they came to the cottage to visit today."
Chen Jue couldn't help but smile and said:
"The prime minister is really a man of temperament, and the owner of this village is deeply admired, so let's eat more later."
Cao Cao just wanted to deny it, but the rich fragrance had already arrived.
He subconsciously 'grunted', and wondered in his heart, what kind of delicacy is this?
It smells different from hot pot, but compared to the dishes outside, it looks extraordinarily tempting.
Soon, the villagers moved a table.
There are a total of eight dishes on it, all of which are delicacies with both color and flavor, and Cao Cao and several people are greedy.
"It's too hearty."
Cao Cao said with heartfelt emotion.
Chen Jue was very calm, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"You don't have to be polite, even if you let go of eating, if these are not enough, you can also fry them again."
Hearing this, Cao Cao hesitated.
For no reason, why is Chen Jue so enthusiastic?
But the hesitation only lasted for a moment, Cao Cao directly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate with great interest.
Xun Yu and Xu Chu followed.
The delicacies are all in front of me, and I am so sorry for myself.
As for Chen Jue, what can he do?
The two sides have already reached an agreement, could it be that Chen Jue will still do the black hand and imprison them in the cottage?
It's okay to be suspicious, but you don't have to waste time here.
Cao Cao can see it clearly, with Chen Jue's ability, he can leave them last time, why wait until today?
Tasting the delicious food on the table, Cao Cao couldn't help but admire:
"This dish is so fragrant, what kind of meat is it made of?"
Chen Jue nodded and said with a smile:
"It's called braised pork, and it's made with pork, and it really tastes good."
Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked:
"Pork? I haven't tasted it before, but listening to others' comments, it seems that the taste is a little difficult to describe. ”
Chen Jue said indifferently:
"There is no problem with what the prime minister said, the pigs in Qingyunzhai have been treated, and they are not quite the same as the ones outside.
You must know that ordinary domestic pigs are not gelding, and the smell of fish on their bodies cannot be completely removed, so they are naturally not delicious. ”
Cao Cao suddenly realized.
It turns out that pork gelding is delicious, and I am really empty, so I have to study it carefully when I go back.
If you can learn this method, it will also be of great help to the people.
After all, compared with beef and mutton, the cost of pork is much lower, and the conditions are much more extensive.
In troubled times, it is very difficult for people to eat meat.
Thinking so, Cao Cao's mouth never stopped, eating the braised pork that Cao Pi had in mind.
The other dishes on the table also made the three of them full of praise.
The chef outside can't be compared at all.
They couldn't help but sigh that they had really come to the right place to go up the mountain today.
Chen Jue didn't talk nonsense, accompanied the three of them to have a full meal, and collapsed on the stool contentedly.
After waiting for a while, Cao Cao and the others were full of food and drink.
In fact, just looking at this reaction, you know that they have nothing else to do, they just want to eat.
The thought floated, and Chen Jue couldn't help but feel a little distressed:
These three are also big officials, and they came all the way to Qingyun Village for a bite to eat.
In the huge Yecheng, there is not even a good cook.
It was Chen Jue who smiled and said:
"The purpose of the prime minister's trip, the owner of the village probably understands, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome."
Cao Cao was slightly embarrassed, but still calm:
"How can this matter be so simple, unless the Lord of Chen Zhai is willing to send someone to Yecheng, he can get rid of the troubles."
Chen Jue shook his head and said:
"That's not necessary, after all, the one who can do things for the prime minister must be the leader in the industry and have extraordinary skills.
The reason why there is such a gap is entirely because of material restrictions, which makes the prime minister feel dissatisfied. ”
Cao Cao was stunned, and then reacted:
"If it's a material problem, can Chen Zhai have a solution?"
Chen Jue nodded slightly and replied:
"This is natural, in fact, I am dissatisfied with the prime minister, and recently I made another condiment in Qingyunzhai.
With just a small amount of addition to the dish, the umami can be greatly enhanced, and the effect is extremely obvious. ”
Cao Cao was a little unconvinced, and hesitated:
"What Chen Zhai said is true? This thing is too valuable, and Cao really deserves it. ”
Chen Jue looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile:
"The prime minister doesn't have to be like this, the price of the condiments that the owner of the village said is actually not expensive."
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment:
"Master Chen, what do you mean, sell condiments to Cao? That's fine. ”
Looking at Xun Yu and Xu Chu, Cao Cao moved his buttocks.
blamed himself for being too careful, and thought that Chen Jue was going to send it.
Don't look at Xun Yu and the others didn't speak, but they were listening carefully, for fear of missing the key.
Especially Xun Yu, he has already heard some meanings:
Since Chen Jue mentioned the price, wouldn't they want to go out and sell it, so is there a way for them to buy it?
If this condiment is really as powerful as Chen Jue said, Xun Yu naturally wants to get it.
Seeing that the three of them had been aroused, Chen Jue beckoned.
The villagers came up with a few porcelain bottles and put them all on the table, these are the chicken essence produced in Qingyun Village.
Chen Jue smiled indifferently and said:
"It's called essence of chicken, and if you add a little bit to it, it becomes extremely delicious."
Cao Cao casually took a bottle, looked at it and said:
"Essence of chicken? This name is a bit strange, but since the owner of Chen Zhai said it, Cao took it back and tried it. ”
When Xun Yu and Xu Chu heard this, they also drew gourds in the same way.
The three of them each carried a bottle, and they behaved very calmly.
Chen Jue sniffed, but he had nothing to say:
Isn't it just a bottle of chicken essence, as for being so cheeky, it's incomprehensible.
Fortunately, Chen Jue didn't care, he had his own plan, and then got up and said:
"Essence of chicken is not a precious thing, if the prime minister likes it, it is not difficult to give some."
Hearing this, Cao Cao probably understood what Chen Jue meant.
He frowned slightly and said:
"Is Lord Chen really going to sell this thing?"
The bottom of Qingyun Village, Cao Cao has not yet figured it out.
Starting from the weirdness of the walled gate, as well as everything in Qingyun Village, it is incompatible with the outside.
Chen Jue nodded and said:
"The prime minister thinks that the owner of the village is joking, but this matter is related to the interests of the cottage, how can he ignore it?"
Cao Cao was silent, and Chen Jue continued:
"With the current situation of Qingyunzhai, self-sufficiency is not a problem, but it is not easy to be better.
Moreover, there are many products produced, and if they can be sold, it will be beneficial and harmless to the cottage. ”
That's right, but in Chen Jue's heart:
Qingyunzhai can't survive to the end of the mountains and rivers, if you want to go out, you must do this......
Cao Cao suddenly turned to look at Xun Yu and asked:
"What do you think, Lingjun?"
