Yuan Yun watched Cao Cao cut the steak, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, he had already taught Bian how to use knives and forks before, and gave a detailed introduction to the order of use of various knives and forks, judging from the results, it didn't help Cao Cao at all.

Cao Cao cut a steak directly with two knives, did not rush into his mouth, but praised the sharpness of the two knives, and when the steak entered his mouth, he chewed carefully for a while, then nodded, and casually cut another steak, this time with a knife, and the other side was directly grasped by hand.

Bian Shi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when she saw her husband's somewhat rude appearance, but after seeing Yuan Yun's stunned face, she was happy, so she also learned from Cao Cao, and directly threw away the fork that Yuan Yun asked the craftsman to carefully build, and the two knives also flew, and the meat on the steak was removed in an instant.

"Your kid's set looks chic and elegant, but the old man just likes to eat meat in a big way, and it is really hard enough to get a small fork and eat it little by little." After Cao Cao finished speaking, this time it was even more violent, and the knife was thrown away, and he tore it directly, and then stuffed the beef mixed with gravy into his mouth.

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, Western food seems to have completely failed, but it's right to think about it, where is there so much attention in this era, and eating enough is the last word, so everyone is used to eating meat in a big gulp, and it is estimated that they can't even feed their stomachs.

Looking at the knife and fork in his hand, Yuan Yun simply threw it aside, and then said with a steak in his mouth: "Uncle Yue, my son-in-law recently got a batch of yaks, which are good ingredients, but the law of the imperial court is that cattle cannot be slaughtered and eaten for meat, which is really a bit biased, yaks do not plow land." ”

Cao Cao hummed, nodded and said: "The kid is not bad, he has a yak to know how to honor the old man, and I won't blame you for the crime of killing the cow, isn't it just killing a few yaks that can't farm, and the old man should not see anything." ”

Yuan Yun pondered carefully, and then continued: "Well, father-in-law, the son-in-law didn't just kill a yak. ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard Yuan Yun say this, and said, "Since you have killed several heads, you don't know how to send more beef over, don't you know that the old man likes it very much?" ”

Yuan Yun pondered carefully, and then continued: "There are more than a few." ”

Cao Cao suddenly paid some attention, put down the steak in his hand, and then asked, "How many heads did you kid kill?" ”

Yuan Yun slowly stretched out five fingers, feeling that it was not enough, so he stretched out his other hand as well, and then gave Cao Cao a big smile with satisfaction.

Cao Cao suddenly blew his beard angrily and said: "Nonsense, you killed a hundred yaks, but there is a lot of meat, but you can't sell beef on the market, I believe that your gunpowder soldiers don't dare to eat such valuable beef, do you plan to rot it?" ”

Yuan Yun laughed dryly and said, "Uncle Yue, you guessed wrong again, the son-in-law killed a thousand heads." ”

Cao Cao stood up suddenly, and said with some surprise: "So many cows have been killed for your kid?" Your sin is a big one, although the old man also knows that yaks are not suitable for farming, but the laws of the imperial court cannot be changed just by saying that. ”

Bian immediately said at this moment: "There are some things that your father-in-law can not decide at once, many old officials in the court will always pick bones in eggs, and the law of opening up the slaughter of cattle will inevitably be opposed by many people, and take the opportunity to play, and if you don't do it, you will come up with something else." ”

Yuan Yun still maintained this smile, then looked at Cao Cao and said: "The son-in-law has already thought of a way, there are more than 100 cows of beef, which has been divided into countless bags, and then sent to various wealthy families in Yecheng, isn't it about to be the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival, every household has to worship their ancestors, and if there is beef, everyone naturally wants, so the distribution is quite smooth." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes immediately narrowed, and he said, "You have dragged all these people into the water, so it should be feasible for the imperial court to revise the law, but this matter is not that simple, right?" Tell me, what are you going to do? ”

When Yuan Yun heard Cao Cao's question, he immediately stretched out his thumb and replied with a smile: "My father-in-law should have eaten the dry food of the gunpowder army, this kind of thing is easy to carry and provides high calories, which is very suitable for soldiers, so the son-in-law plans to make more to supply the troops." ”

Cao Cao flashed a trace of doubt and continued to ask, "You have been transporting those dry rations from Luoyang, isn't it enough?" Why are so many yaks being slaughtered now? ”

Yuan Yun explained: "The dry food produced in Luoyang, many of which are made of animal offal, although it can also provide the calories that the soldiers need, but after all, it is not as effective as the real beef, the son-in-law wants to make canned meat this time, as long as this kind of thing is made, it can be stored for a few years and is not bad, and it is also very convenient to carry, and it is more nutritious than the dry food for the march, which is simply a home trip, killing ......."

"Okay, okay, since it is done for the army, the old man can naturally be accommodating, you said it earlier, it won't be so troublesome, now that those old officials have received your beef, naturally there is nothing to say, another day the old man will let Xu Du sign the edict, and you can do that canned food with peace of mind."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he continued: "But this canned food must be produced in Yecheng in the future, you can't get it back to Luoyang, and you can also add a new industry in Yecheng, the old man only has this one request." ”

Yuan Yun immediately followed: "This is actually just an idea for the son-in-law to honor your old man, so no matter how many cans the military buys later, the son-in-law will definitely not take a penny, and all the money earned by the military will be owned by the Cao Mansion." ”

Cao Cao smiled, praised Yuan Yun for being sensible, and then pointed to the gate and said: "Since this is the case, then don't delay any longer, and order you to send someone to Zhang Luo to do this matter quickly, and you will personally supervise it." ”

Yuan Yun immediately surrendered his promise, and emphasized that he would soon be able to get out the workshop for the production of canned food, which was next to Cao Cao's courtyard outside the city, which was tantamount to telling the world that this industry was run by the Cao family.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with Yuan Yun's 'sensible', nodded and sent Yuan Yun to Zhang Luo quickly, he leaned leisurely towards the Taishi chair behind him, and then smiled at Bian's family: "This son-in-law is good, I know to get some useful and good things for Cao Fu, once this canned food is produced in the future, the military will buy it fixedly, and it can also increase a lot of Cao Fu's income, and the old man's transaction is cost-effective?" ”

Bian Shi smiled bitterly, then pointed to the gate where Yuan Yun had just walked out, and then said: "When will our son-in-law let others take advantage of it in vain, Cao's mansion is very big outside the city, he is equivalent to taking a piece of land for free, plus that courtyard was originally used as a treasury by you, which saves us a lot of money as a son-in-law." ”

Cao Cao continued to smile and said, "To do business, you still need to pay some, just give him a courtyard, and the old man is not a small person." ”

When Bian heard Cao Cao say the word 'trading', he was suddenly stunned, his eyes kept turning, and he frowned after a long time, and said, "It's not good, we seem to have been exploited by this kid again!" ”

Cao Cao shuddered instantly, and said in confusion: "It shouldn't be, after all, that kid said that all the money he earned was given to Cao Fu, but he didn't take a penny, where is there any advantage to take advantage of?" ”

Bian sighed deeply and said: "What the kid said just now is very clear, he doesn't want any money for the military to buy this canned food, but the concubine feels that this canned food is definitely a good commodity that can be sold to the people, and the money from the sale of this canned food is not equivalent to receiving it from this kid?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a while, and finally slapped the table and said: "This little bastard, he has come to take advantage of the old man every time, it is really lawless." ”

Bian Shi looked at Cao Cao and scolded very fiercely, but there was no next action at all, this is already understood, this loss is estimated to be swallowed, after all, since Yuan Yun said that this can is better than the marching dry food, it will definitely not be fake, at present, the Northern Expedition of the army Karasuma has been put on the line, if this can exists, it is naturally a great thing, so even if Yuan Yun takes advantage of it, there is really no way to object.

Cao Cao scolded Yuan Yun fiercely for a while, and finally smiled, and said: "Let this kid succeed again, and when the Northern Expedition Karasuma is over, the old man must let him spit out fifty percent of the profits, so let's write it down for the time being, Bian's family, you will go to the old man to collect debts later, and see if that kid can fly." ”

Yuan Yun left the Cao Mansion compound leisurely, and did not choose to continue to hang out, now the pre-war preparations of the Gunpowder Army are very busy, and it is really impossible to rely on Zhang Liao alone, so at this moment, since he has obtained the promise that he can slaughter the yak, he must really start doing it, and the accumulation of these two things is probably not much time for people to hang out.

The frame galloped all the way, and soon returned to the Gunpowder Army camp, Yuan Yun felt very surprised as soon as he got out of the car, because the camp that was chaotic before has now become orderly, and everyone is doing what they are doing, although they are busy but not flustered.

Seeing that a lot of baggage had been packed, and those artillery pieces had also been properly wrapped in the inner and outer three layers, Yuan Yun immediately showed a smile, at this speed, even if the gunpowder army received the order to set off within a few days, it could still catch up.

didn't take a few steps, Yuan Yun was suddenly stunned, because he saw Guo Jia and Zhang Liao standing together, followed by a group of adjutants behind the two, Guo Jia was arranged there smoothly, and those adjutants nodded desperately, and then immediately went down to do things after receiving the order.

After Guo Jia assigned an adjutant to go down, he immediately saw Yuan Yun, so he handed over the documents in his hand to Zhang Liao, and he walked over slowly.

"Yuan Hou seems to be very bad at doing these logistics and supply things." When Guo Jia spoke, the cheap smile on his face was very annoying.

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, in fact, he is not bad at these things, the biggest ability of the chip in his brain is to make it complicated and simple, the reason why the logistics arrangements of the Gunpowder Army are relatively stretched is entirely because he Yuan Yun can't pay attention to this side at all, he has to walk around every day, or a guy like Chen Qun who is on the embankment from time to time, there is really nothing to manage logistics.

"Guo Jiajun won't just come to laugh at me, right?" Yuan Yun bowed after speaking.

Guo Jia smiled, returned the salute, and then said: "From today on, I, Guo Jia, will belong to the counselor Gong Cao under Yuan Hou's account." ”
