At this moment, in the Huang family manor.

Liu Qi and others are here, which is a bit rare.

There is a burst of fragrance wafting out.

The roast whole sheep made by Liu Qi had an extremely attractive taste, which made everyone present can't help but suck their saliva.

This is not a delicacy of this era.

Huang Chengyan said with emotion:

"Jun's cooking skills are even further than before, the taste of this mutton is brought into play, and the old man has never seen such a delicacy in his life, which is really extraordinary."

Everyone praised Liu Qi without a word.

Maybe these words are suspicious of sycophancy, but what is certain is that what they say is also from the heart.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that Liu Qi was still a chef. And as Liu Qi, it is also extremely rare to cook and help them cook.

But Liu Qi didn't care, he still had a smile on his face:

"Everyone, don't be impatient, this roasted whole sheep is almost ready, you must taste it and see how it tastes?"

In fact, sharing food with others is also a joyful thing.

For Liu Qi, cooking once in a while can help him find happiness in it. But if Liu Qi is asked to cook all the time, it will be different, he really doesn't want to be a cook.

Frankly speaking, in fact, Liu Qi's heart is salted fish.

He doesn't worry too much about it on his own.

Isn't it fragrant to hand it over to Zhuge Liang?

Anyway, for Liu Qi, as long as he does his own thing, the entire south can move forward steadily.

Or, if you make a decision at a critical moment, the whole world will change.

If everything is forced to be perfect, then it is not interesting.

The big guy's eyes straightened, this is really not a joke, although they haven't eaten the roasted whole sheep yet, but this taste has made them unable to let go, they can only watch.

Even in my heart I was already imagining that feeling.

A moment later.

Liu Qi looked at it, then nodded and said:

"It should be almost, everyone come to try it, if there is any problem, you can also give one or two."

In fact, Liu Qi also wants to hold a cooking competition here.

But he could also guess that this was basically wishful thinking, and who else would cook here besides him?

When the time comes, it will be embarrassing.

Everyone respects the old man and refuses.

He could only reluctantly take it, and then he couldn't wait to eat it, this crispy and tender feeling, with the gravy exploding in Huang Chengyan's mouth.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling.

Anyway, for Huang Chengyan, it is so delicious, it definitely reaches the level of amazing.

After a short silence, Huang Chengyan finally said:

"The envoy is simply a god chef!"

After thinking about it for so long, Huang Chengyan also held back a sentence, but the others did not despise it, they couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, and they all looked at Huang Chengyan in unison.

Just took a bite, and felt that Liu Qi was a god chef, what kind of level is this?

Soon, everyone got their share of the mutton.

One by one, they couldn't wait, and they didn't hesitate to stuff it into their mouths, just because they had been waiting for it for too long.

After taking a bite, they were finally able to appreciate Huang Chengyan's feelings, which was really strong.

It's no wonder that Huang Chengyan would say that Liu Qi is a god chef.

This roasted whole lamb looks simple, but the taste grabs everyone's taste buds at once, which is amazing.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, my husband's cooking skills are really good."

Sun Shangxiang said while eating.

Huang Quan said with a blank eye:

"Hahaha, with the master's cooking skills, he has become the master of the world, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

“……”

Everyone was in a happy mood.

They ate and drank to their heart's content, and these two roasted whole sheep were certainly enough, or even more than enough.

Sun Shangxiang and the others went to the back to rest.

Liu Qi and his entourage are still gathered outside.

At this moment, Liu Qi looked at Huang Chengyan and said:

"Yellow

Old man, you and Madame Huang are both good at tricks, if I want to build another treasure ship, I wonder if there is a way for you two to draw the drawings? ”

What the treasure ship is, of course Huang Chengyan knows.

Even if Huang Quan hadn't seen it, he had only heard of it, but he also understood what the treasure ship represented.

This is the ship equipped by the Jiangxia Navy under Liu Qi's strongest combat power, which is huge and extremely strong, such a big ship is not trivial, and it also has a huge impact.

All eyes looked at each other.

Huang Chengyan obviously didn't think about this problem.

But since Liu Qi asked, Huang Chengyan thought about it and said:

"As the envoy said, the treasure ship is huge in size and complex in structure, and there is no clue from the outside."

Liu Qi nodded, and then affirmed:

"What about dismantling a treasure ship?"

This sentence shocked several people, after all, this treasure ship is also limited in Liu Qi's hands, and Zhuge Liang was also very curious at the beginning, where did Liu Qi's treasure ship come from?

But at this moment, Zhuge Liang can see it.

Although the treasure ship is in Liu Qi's hands, he definitely doesn't have drawings in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this question.

Huang Chengyan hesitated slightly:

"Why did you say this, this treasure ship was born, didn't you have any drawings, if this is the case, the number of treasure ships is limited, if you dismantle one and can't be restored, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Liu Qi's eyes were scorching, he looked at Huang Chengyan seriously and said:

"What Mr. Huang said is not unreasonable, but this matter, after all, needs to be tried, if it fails, it may be the loss of a treasure ship, but if it succeeds, what will happen?

With the blueprints of the treasure ship, I can have people continue to build the treasure ship, which was built by an old craftsman, but now that he has passed away and has no heir, the craft has been lost.

I had no choice but to ask Mr. Huang. ”

Of course, Liu Qi is very sober, and he knows what he should do now.

Although the general trend of the world, Liu Qi has taken the initiative.

But he must not stand still.

People have to do something, even if it's salted fish, it should be a bit unrealistic.

If the treasure ship can be mass-produced, Liu Qi can then form an incomparably powerful fleet. With such an army in his hands, not to mention the big man, even the whole world is unstoppable.

And in this matter, in addition to Huang Chengyan's father and daughter, Liu Qi really didn't think of a suitable candidate. The previous ones have proved the ability of Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying.

This father and daughter duo should not be underestimated.

Seeing that Liu Qi said so seriously, although Huang Chengyan was still a little hesitant, he finally agreed.

"Since you trust the old man so much, the old man may be able to try one or two, but it is still difficult to say what the result will be."

Hearing this, Liu Qi was not ambiguous and replied:

"Mr. Huang is humble, and I will wait for the good news."

As for paying the price of a treasure ship, Liu Qi felt that he could bear it, and besides, the treasure ship was dismantled, it didn't mean that there was no way to put it back, and it would depend on their respective means when the time came.

Such a change makes Huang Chengyan a little unpredictable.

Liu Qi is here today, why is he coming here to eat, drink and have fun like before?

Or for the sake of the present business.

This result is not important.

took everyone to a full meal, time passed quickly, and Liu Qi said goodbye and left.

Zhuge Liang stayed here, and Liu Qi and the others returned to the city.

Now.

Where Cao Cao is.

In Xuchang City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu in front of him and asked:

"Is there any movement of the enemy forces here and there?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu replied respectfully:

"Prime Minister Qiqi, now that all parts of the country are quite stable, Liu Qi has no intention of sending troops to the north. I'm afraid that he doesn't dare to act rashly now, and if there is a war between the two sides, he will not die. ”

There is no doubt about it.

Although the current situation in the world is divided, no matter what, they are still in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

This means that they are all fighting for the territory of the Great Han.

Instead of

Two countries fight.

Whoever wins, will dominate the world.

On the contrary, if you cannot dominate the world, you will not be a victor, but will only become a foil.

Before Cao ***, he would do whatever it took to unify the world, which was Cao Cao's ambition and goal.

At the same time, Liu Qi is also moving towards this goal.

Although Liu Qi's slogan now is to revive the Han Dynasty, in fact, Liu Qi's thoughts are not so.

What he is most worried about is the chaos behind him.

One of the most ridiculous dynasties has put the entire Han nation in a desperate situation. Of course, Liu Qi doesn't want to see such a thing, he wants to change, and he is willing to change.

And now Liu Qi is indeed qualified to change.

But no matter what, Cao Cao and Liu Qi, their goals are the same, and they are destined to go toe-for-tat.

Cao Cao nodded slowly and said:

"Liu Qi is a smart man, although the previous campaign consumed many years of storage in the Central Plains, but Liu Qi is not having a good time, if he continues to fight, he will lose both.

Even, the arable land in the south is far less than in the north, and the speed of their recovery is certainly far less than that of a certain one. ”

In this matter, Cao Cao is still very confident.

After all, the richness of the Central Plains has been known since ancient times, and the remote south is simply a place that no one has touched.

Although the south is much better now than before, Cao Cao still doesn't pay attention to it.

At this time.

Cheng Yu said cautiously:

"Prime Minister, in fact, I came here this time, and there is an urgent matter to report."

Looking at the mysterious Cheng Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face, he always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know what to say.

But soon, Cao Cao still nodded.

Then Cheng Yu explained:

"Prime Minister, it's our people, who took great pains to bring back a plough from the south."

At this moment, Cao Cao looked confused.

What does Cheng Zhongde mean by this, it's just a plow, and he took a lot of trouble to bring it back from somewhere else, isn't it a little ridiculous?

However, Cao Cao thought about it and quickly realized the problem, with his understanding of Cheng Yu, if there was no reason, Cheng Yu would definitely not come to the door.

But now, since Cheng Yu is focusing on this matter, it means that this matter does have its importance.

"Zhongde, what the hell is going on?"

Cao Cao frowned, he looked at Cheng Yu and asked.

Cheng Yu was no longer secretive and said:

"The prime minister doesn't know, this plough is not an ordinary plough, but a brand-new plough that has been improved in the south, I heard that it is called a son's plow."

Hearing the last sentence, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, of course he could guess that the origin of the name of this son's plough was because Liu Qi was Liu Biao's eldest son and the identity of the son of Jingzhou.

Could it be that this thing was improved by Liu Qi?

Sweeping his gaze again, Cao Cao continued:

"What's so special about this plow?"

After all, he had just gotten the plow, and Cheng Yu didn't have much time to experiment, so he said with the information he knew:

"This plough has changed drastically from the previous plough. Only one cow is needed to operate, and there is no need for two oxen to lift the bar as before.

At the same time, compared with ordinary ploughs, this plough has improved a lot in efficiency, and now the south has popularized this plough, and the cultivation efficiency will definitely be improved in the future.

That's where the lowly worries come in. ”

Cao Cao was stunned, and there was confusion in his eyes:

"Is Zhongde's words true?"

Cheng Yu nodded affirmatively.

A plough, Cao Cao didn't care about it before, but with Liu Qi's reminder, the situation was completely different.

Cao Cao was shocked.

If this plough is really as strong as Cheng Yu said, the promotion of a large number of ploughs may really bring about huge changes.

At that time, the strength of both sides will deviate.

This is something that Cao Cao does not want to see.

At this moment, Cao Cao slowly raised his head and said:

"This plough works to the end

How, hearing is false, seeing is believing, it is better to test one or two first.

If the results show that the plough is indeed amazing, then we can also draw a gourd, send someone to build a plough, and then distribute it to the people, and then solve the problem at hand. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu also suddenly realized.

He was also quite surprised when he learned the news, after all, the rumors were really exaggerated.

No matter how much the plough changes, in the final analysis, it is just a plow.

Can you still change your life against the sky?

However, these things, guessing is useless at the moment, and only by really trying can we know the answer.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, which makes the lowly mouth stop."

Seeing Cheng Yu agree, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said:

"You asked the plough to be fetched, and there is a large garden behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now test it here, and it won't take long to know the result."

Cheng Yu said yes.

It didn't take long for Qu Yuanli to be sent to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao looked at the Quyuan plow, and the curiosity in his eyes was undisguised, this plough was indeed different from an ordinary plow.

Except for the obvious difference in the number of cattle, the others did not look obvious, at least in Cao Cao's opinion.

"Forget it, don't talk nonsense, take this plough and try it, and naturally you will know how effective it is."

Wait until they get to the backyard.

Cao Cao first asked people to find a ploughing ox, then installed it properly, and then began the test.

The key to the so-called plough is the plough.

If you can't even do this, it's not a joke for everyone.

In order to make the contrast stark, Cao Cao also asked people to find the ordinary version of the plough, and everyone could start work together.

When the time comes, it will be obvious what the gap is.
