After eating the four famous dishes of the Cheqi General's Mansion, the desserts served afterwards made Cao Pi and the three of them tremble......

I saw a waiter push a cart full of ice, covered with pickled peach slices and plums - at this time it was already the late spring of the fourth year of Jian'an, as far as Jinling was concerned, the weather was already very pleasant, although it was not too hot, but it was impossible to take natural ice!

When he saw the big goldfish before, Sima Lang had some guesses, but now he is even more convinced......

As the disaster relief fish in Jiangdong, the think tank in Cao Cao's mansion naturally has research, and if you can't buy fresh fish, you can always get salted fish.

Especially Sima Lang is very sensitive in terms of people's livelihood, and he has specially bought dried goldfish and pickled goldfish in private to study, so he recognized it the same.

And to be able to steam, apparently it is fresh goldfish, to Jinling is a distance from the coast of Wu County...... It is necessary to use a lot of ice cubes to preserve.

In other words, the Che Cavalry General's Mansion consumes a lot of ice just for eating!

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the temperature was slightly lower than that of the later generations of Baitu - in the history of Chinese civilization, it was probably strong when it was warm and weak when it was cold, which was not only due to the scope of crop planting and yield, but also the reason why the northern nomadic civilization was affected by the climate and whether it was closely related to the southern Chinese civilization.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was from the Qin and Han dynasties that hundreds of years of warm periods, and gradually transitioned to the cold period, at this time the temperature was relatively low in history, like another hundred years, that is really cold - the coast of Bohai Bay, frozen for three consecutive years, can run over the army.

Therefore, in the Jinling area, some ice can be stored in the cellar in winter......

But normally, it is impossible to be so extravagant, and it is actually specially used to preserve marine fish?

At this time, Lu Kang was as an elder, caring about the "children" who came from afar, Sima Lang's eyes moved slightly, and he interjected: "Lu Lao, the previous goldfish soup was really delicious, but unfortunately when I was in the Central Plains, I only tasted pickled goldfish, I don't know how much this fresh goldfish is worth in Jinling?" ”

When Lu Kang heard this, he didn't know if he hadn't thought much about it, or he didn't care, so he replied directly: "Hahaha, Boda is a blessing...... Fresh big goldfish is naturally not available in Jinling, but the Che Cavalry General's Mansion is sent every day, and a copy is sent to the post house by the time difference.

However, Boda should cherish these months, and by April, the fleet of Wu County will no longer catch goldfish, and the next year will ...... I don't think I can catch it, but there are some other seafood that you can try. ”

Sima Lang was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: This white picture is simply a thief who deceives the world!

Frozen marine fish are transported from the coast of Kure every day? How much ice is consumed just for your own enjoyment? It's all people's power!

Just when Sima Lang was distracted, a crystal clear glass cup without any variegated color was placed in front of the waiter.

"Lang Yijie foreign minister, how can he be courteous by the general? It's ...... a bad move," Sima Lang said instinctively.

Sima Lang had simulated various possible events for himself before.

Sending the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, the lower limit of the goal is his own name, among which is his own life, and the upper limit is his own fame!

Compared with his second brother Sima Yi, Sima Lang is undoubtedly a typical celebrity, with ability and feelings, and it is best to go back with "fame", or credit, which includes dissuading Bai Tu from going north, as well as exploring the intelligence of Jiangdong and Huainan......

If he can't do it, then Sima Lang will also give priority to protecting himself, and if he is poor, he will be left alone, but ...... More important than his life, he can't lose his temperament - expecting him to be bribed by Bai Tu and betraying the master, this is what Sima Lang would rather lose his life than do!

I, Sima Lang, will leave by myself when I am dissatisfied with my lord, but ...... No one can tempt me!

Just now, Sima Lang was thinking about Bai Tu's arrogance and lasciviousness, and suddenly such a big glass cup was placed in front of him, and Sima Lang's instinctive reaction was exactly the scene of "Bai Gong's gift" that he had simulated in his mind before......

Suddenly, Sima Lang put a breath on his chest, and his impassioned words were about to blurt out, but at this moment...... He suddenly skimmed, and several people around him looked at him strangely, and then found that in front of everyone around, there was a glass cup!

It was also crystal clear that he had never seen before, as if it would disappear if it was placed in water.

Do you want to give gifts to Cao Pi and Cao Bang? Did it work?

Wait a minute...... Seems like everyone here?

After a slight pause, I saw the waiter put smoothies, fruits, and candied fruits into the glass jar with a "pop, pop, pop......, pop", and everyone had a share.

Sima Lang: ......

Lu Kang smiled at Sima Lang gently, and then turned his head away from him, most of the gentlemen around him were like this, and even ...... chatted with each other about the ups and downs, as if they hadn't heard or seen Sima Lang's reaction just now!

Well, we are cultural people, and we can't let our guests lose face!

"Boda, you just said ......" Cao Bang didn't react yet, and Cao Pi on the side interrupted at this time: "Eat your dessert!" ”

Although everyone is talking about other things, ...... Sima Lang felt that everyone around him was looking at him, especially a few waiters, and it seemed that they were really peeking at him from time to time.

"Who is that man? Come to be a guest, you even want a cup? ”

"I heard that it was from the Prime Minister's Mansion...... Tsk, it turns out that Xu Du is so poor. ”

"Just now he said that he likes to eat big goldfish, and he is also begging for it, right?"

"Be quiet, I heard that it was a famous man from the Sima clan in Hanoi, eight brothers, known as Sima Bada!"

"There are seven more who are so shameless?"

Looking at the smoothie in front of him, Sima Lang was about to leave tears of remorse, so he poked the smoothie in front of him with a spoon, and then took a bite......

Gee...... It smells so good!

On the last journey of the banquet, Sima Lang was basically in a state of "strong spirit", and this trauma probably needed a period of adjustment.

At the time of parting, before getting into the carriage, there were waiters who chased him out and gave Sima Lang a gift box.

Weigh the weight, and this size - the glass cup!

Sima Lang has never hated one thing more than he does now.

However, at this time, in order to get by on face, he had to smile like a spring breeze and calmly accept the gift.

After all...... Now the meaning of this gift has changed!

Before, he thought that this glass cup was given by Bai Tu in front of the latter in order to buy him, or to separate him and Cao Pi.

However, now it turns out that people don't take this as a good thing at all, purely to see what he likes, or even ...... He was also shameless and refused to pack, so he gave it to him "empatheticly".

If you don't want this, it's not giving face to Baitu!

At the same time, in order to save some face, Sima Lang also forcibly explained: "Hehe, it's okay, my second brother likes these shiny things." ”

Zhongda, who was still in Hanoi, suddenly had an itchy nose......
