Chapter 028: How Does It Taste?
"When is Wen Hou going to send troops?"
"It depends on the doctor's situation in raising food, you can't let the soldiers go hungry and desperate, right?"
Chen Jue stood up directly when he heard this, and reminded in a deep voice: "The amount of 100,000 grains is not small, even if you go all out to prepare, it will take several months, and Xiaopei has already fallen at that time, does the general think Chen Jue will break his promise?" ”
"Doctor, don't get excited, Bu Shicai is playing, with the reputation of the Chen family in Xuzhou, how can he break his promise? I'll send troops tomorrow. Seeing that Chen Qi was a little angry, Lu Bu hurriedly walked over to explain and appease.
Hearing Lu Bu give the time node, Chen Qi decisively accepted it when he saw it, and his face became much more relaxed.
"Ji Ling has 100,000 armor, if Wen Hou sends troops tomorrow, how many people can be mobilized in a hurry? Chen Gongtai tried his best to promote the marriage, I am afraid that he will oppose you to save Xiaopei, after all, this move will offend Yuan Shu, and Han Yin will definitely stop it..."
"Bu went to Xiaopei to relieve the siege and did not hand over the troops, just now I have thought of a strategy to retreat from Ji Ling, only bring a few hundred personal soldiers to succeed, and let Yuan Shu have nothing to say, the doctor can prepare food with peace of mind." Lu Bu stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously.
"What's the idea? Can you tell me and let the old man know a thing or two. Although Chen Jue asked for advice on the surface, he didn't believe it in his heart, such reckless people would also use schemes?
Lu Bu waved his hand and refused: "It won't work if you say it, the doctor is waiting for my good news in Xiapi, and I will ask Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to send troops to help transport grain, so as to save the Chen family some porter expenses." ”
Chen Jue couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart No wonder he didn't want to bring more soldiers and horses to Xiaopei, dare to wait for me here, and assigned Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to lead troops to supervise the grain, for fear that my Chen family would be slow to raise grain, right?
Lu Bu, I thank you!!
"Ahem, thank you Wen Hou for your compassion, since you have a clever plan, don't say it to others, Wen Hou is usually good at admonishment, I'm afraid that you will be influenced by others, and that Han Yin... I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal..."Chen Qi said vaguely.
It means that if you don't tell me Chen Jue, don't tell your think tank Chen Gong, you are easy to waver, and anyone can listen to it.
"Don't worry, doctor, Bu has his own plans." Lu Bu nodded with a serious face, and said in his heart I rarely think of a clever plan, so naturally I want to boast about myself if I succeed.
Chen Qi saw that Lu Bu's eyes were firm, so he surrendered his hand.
"In that case, I will go home to raise food, and the general will do it himself..."
"Okay, I'll send the doctor."
Lu Bu was in a good mood at this time, and saw him smiling all over his face, leading Chen Qi to the outside of the mansion, sending Chen Qi to the carriage with his front foot, and seeing Chen Gong appear behind him with his back foot.
"The lord is in a good mood, Chen Jue has agreed to subsidize the money and grain? That's a lot of money? Chen Gong asked with curiosity on his face.
Lu Bu put his hands behind his back and smiled proudly: "It's all up to the public platform's clever plan, I can't help the Chen family not agree, as for the number... Chen Hanyu promised 100,000 Hu. ”
"One hundred thousand?" Chen Gong was shocked at first, then lowered his head and muttered, "Could it be that there is a plan..."
"Everyone is in Xuzhou, and they are not afraid that his Chen family will not honor it, but Chen Hanyu asked for a detailed investigation of the scene, and he didn't want Chen Yu to be charged with a crime..."
"Oh, the lord is fooled." Chen Gong immediately interrupted and explained: "This is Chen Jue's plan to delay the army, the turbulent and wide Surabaya, plus the matter has passed for a few days, what evidence can be found?" ”
Lu Bu laughed: "Who said that you want to go to Surabaya to verify?" I will take my soldiers out of the city tomorrow, stay near the prime minister for a few days, and find two people who can talk and come back. ”
"It's... All right? Chen Gong frowned.
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "If the Chen family still doesn't recognize it?" Don't I have a temper at all? ”
"It's okay, the lord is now the lord of Xuzhou, and the Chen family should also recognize the reality..."Chen Gong stood in place and nodded, while Lu Bu turned around and entered the Taishou Mansion.
After Lu Bu returned home, while arranging for his departure from the city tomorrow, he summoned his cronies Xu Yan and Wang Kai, and asked the two to entertain Han Yin.
didn't let Chen Gong, who promoted the family affair, accompany him, Lu Bu had his little abacus in his heart, he was afraid that Chen Gong and Yuan Shu's people were too close, and in the end it would affect his own interests, after all, Chen Gong also took refuge in himself halfway, and it was necessary to leave some back.
On the other hand, the carriage stopped at Xiapi Chen's Mansion, and Chen Jue got off the car with mixed feelings.
Chen Qi came to the door with confidence, thinking that he could rely on Lu Bu's 'blackmail', but because of Chen Deng's ineffective work, the Chen family paid a greater price.
We'll see what the beast says.
Chen Jue found out where Chen Deng was, and after entering the house, he went straight to the side hall of the back house, and Chen Deng was having lunch in the hall at this time.
In that troubled era of food scarcity and starvation, only the children of a big clan like Chen Deng could add a meal at noon, and most ordinary families had two meals in the morning and evening, and even more so only one meal a day hung for their lives.
The food on the table is Chen Deng's favorite raw fish belly, stuffed with autumn osmanthus flowers, and his expression is called enjoyment.
"Raw fish again?"
"Father? You're back? ”
Hearing Chen Jue's voice behind him, Chen Deng hurriedly wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, got up and turned to salute, and then helped Chen Jue to the side seat and sat down.
Chen Deng likes raw meat, especially fish, Chen Jue persuaded many times to no avail, and finally it was gone, Chen Deng was afraid of making his father angry, and he secretly wanted to eat it.
Today, Chen Qi went to see Lu Bu, Chen Deng's search would take a long time, and he persuaded Han Yin to have merit, so he 'rewarded' himself with a meal of fish, but he didn't expect Chen Qi to return at noon.
"Han Yin promised to frame Long Xiang, I don't know what Lu Bu said after hearing it?"
Without waiting for Chen Qi to speak, Chen Deng preemptively changed the topic, after all, his eating habits are not worth mentioning in front of major events, but Chen Qi did not answer his question, but pointed to the raw fish on the table and asked: "Raw meat is fishy, it is hard to swallow raw, Yuanlong loves this thing alone, tell me about it for my father?" ”
"As long as it is carefully cleaned, and then accompanied by ginger, pepper vinegar, sauce and other things, not only does it not smell fishy, but retains the original taste of the food, which is really delicious and delicious, compared to pork and sheep and other meats, the processing of fish meat is the simplest..."
"Hearing Yuanlong say this, my father suddenly spoke with relish..."
When Chen Deng heard this, he immediately burst into joy, and hurriedly asked, "The child brought it to you to try?" Later, when my father closes his eyes and tastes it, he will definitely be able to experience the taste..."
"Hmm." Chen Qi nodded slightly.
Chen Deng's heart was full of deer, he put the fish, condiments, and chopsticks into the tray, and then brought them to Chen Qi with light steps.
Chen Deng was about to put the tray on the table, but found that Chen Qi suddenly stood up, Chen Deng mistakenly thought that the other party couldn't wait to taste, so he bowed down and raised his hands forward.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jue went to take the chopsticks with his right hand, and suddenly changed his palm and slapped it on Chen Deng's face.
Because of the suddenness, Chen Deng didn't have time to react at all, and the tray suddenly tilted to the right, and the fish and soup on the plate fell to the ground.
Chen Deng covered his face with one hand and looked at Chen Qi incredulously, he was about to ask why, but Chen Qi opened his mouth first.
"How does it taste?"
