"How can you busy people have time to come to the restaurant for fun?"

Seeing Liu Guanzhang away, Cao Xin came to the wine table next door and invited a few colleagues present to have a drink.

Xun You said with a smile, "Today, I heard that a new ingredient was launched in the building, called steamed buns, so I asked Tongyuan Chang Fengxiao to come over and try it." ”

"Gongming and I came back from training outside the city, and we haven't eaten the food in the building for a long time, so we came to fight the tooth sacrifice."

Xiahou Yuan said as he gulped down the meat and vegetables.

Although he and Xu Huang are both high-ranking generals and have more than 1,000 stones, they not only have to support their families, help their relatives, change their equipment, and subsidize their personal guards, but they are not enough to eat at all.

Today, he and Xu Huang came to the building to make a tooth sacrifice, and they only dared to order two plates of side dishes, and they couldn't be greedy.

Seeing that the table was full of fragrant dishes, the two of them didn't stop after picking up the chopsticks.

"Cao Ziyu, I heard that all the food in the restaurant came from your house, have you eaten all of them?"

Guo Jia asked with fried chicken in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

Cao Xin glanced at the dishes on the table, a total of twenty-two dishes, chicken, duck and fish, fried and fried, very hearty.

"I've eaten them all, what's wrong?"

Hiss~ The corners of everyone's mouths moved, there was a famine everywhere in these years, from the emperor to the hundred officials, most of them were eating bran vegetables, and one steamed wheat rice a day was a good day.

But Cao Ziyu suddenly had a big fish and a lot of meat, and this day was too good.

"Ahem~ General Ziyu, I have some words, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Zhong Xuan said hesitantly with a bun.

Cao Xin laughed, "Mr. Yuan Chang has something to say, and you don't have to worry too much about talking at the wine table." ”

"General Ziyu, it is rumored that you are very particular about eating, and a meal costs hundreds of times, doesn't General Ziyu think it's too expensive? Now that the war is endless, there is famine everywhere, many people do not have enough to eat, and the prime minister often advises the ministers to be thrifty, hey, this is too disappointing, and I hope General Ziyu will forgive me. ”

Zhong Xuan said euphemistically.

"Mr. Yuan Chang, that's right, it's really a waste to eat like this, but it's not a bad thing."

"Oh?"

"Guys, do you know how many people this restaurant supports?"

Cao Xin said with a smile.

The crowd was puzzled.

"Cao Ziyu, say it quickly, don't make a fool of yourself."

Guo Jia urged.

"The restaurant feeds at least 20,000 people. These dishes to be fine, it requires the cooperation of many people, the building needs to pay to hire people, from farmers to hunters, vegetable farmers, wineries, porcelain kilns, craftsmen, fishermen, medicine pickers, etc., in the whole of Yuzhou, there are almost 3,000 families relying on the Taibai Liquor House to support their families and live a good life, if there is no restaurant to purchase their things, they will be hungry.

In addition, the restaurant paid more than 20,000 stone of grain to Xu County in the first half of the year, and the leftovers of the restaurant every day will be sent to the orphan's almshouse for free to improve the lives of orphans. ”

Cao Xin smiled slightly, looked at a few people,

"Mr. Yuan Chang, in this case, do you still think that it is a waste of money?"

"It's not a breakout."

Zhong Miao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Xun You smiled slightly, "Ziyu, if you eat more extravagantly, you can feed some more people, so wouldn't the thrift and honesty proposed by the prime minister affect the livelihood of the people?" ”

"It's not the same, I'm taking it from the people, using it for the people, making as much money as I want, the prime minister wants to save the people's power, rest with the people, and it's also for the good of the people, my purpose and the prime minister are the same."

"For the people, for the people? That's a good way to put it. ”

Zhong Xuan nodded approvingly.

And Xun You's eyes lit up, and he directly took a brush, dipped it on his tongue, and wrote this sentence on his robe.

Cao Xin's eyelids jumped, what is wrong with this person, how does he like to remember this, no, when Xun You goes, he must burn all his manuscripts to prevent affecting the trend of history.

——

"Prime Minister!"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Hong strode into the council hall wearing a coarse cloth robe.

In the conference hall, Cao Cao was playing Go with Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao were watching the game next to him.

"Zilian is here, Zhongde, Zilian has something to do with his appearance, you come to finish this game of chess with Wen Ruo for his appearance."

Cao Cao put down the chess pieces and got up and said.

The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth twitched, the prime minister has his last breath left in this game of chess, how can he play? But for the sake of face, he still sat down with his fists clenched.

"Haha, Zilian, do you have something to do with your true appearance?"

Cao Cao patted Cao Hong's increasingly fat shoulder and asked.

"Hehe, Prime Minister, when the last general came over, he passed by the Taibai Restaurant, and guess what, he happened to meet Dian Wei and Zhang Fei fighting, and the fight was very popular, and thousands of people watched the battle."

Cao Hong said with a double chin.

Cao Hong's family has money, hundreds of thousands of yuan, no shortage of food or clothing, and he gained dozens of pounds during the period of recuperation, and the coarse cloth clothes on his body were about to be torn, revealing the silk inside.

"Oh, why are they fighting?"

Hearing the fight between Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, even Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at it curiously.

"Haha, I heard that Zhang Yide was drunk and didn't want to pay the bill, so Cao Ziyu sent Dian Wei over, beat Zhang Fei violently, and beat him on the ground, thousands of people saw it."

Cao Hong said with a fist.

"It's... Some of it has passed. Prime Minister Cao Cheng frowned slightly, "The three brothers Liu Xuande are guests from afar, and they should be courteous in Xudu, besides, that Zhang Yide was drunk and his mind was not clear, so he beat him in front of everyone and broke the face of Liu Xuande's brothers, which really shouldn't be." ”

"The prime minister is right, Cao Ziyu is strong and strong with his subordinates, and he often swaggers in Xudu, and he knows that the prime minister is promoting frugality, but he insists on taking the golden carriage in and out, insisting on wearing silk and silk, I heard that even the subordinates in his house wear silk, it is too extravagant, Cao Ziyu is obviously against the prime minister's edict, and the prime minister should really take care of him."

Cao Hong said indignantly.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, Cao Ziyu also knew that he was dressed gorgeously in a golden carriage, but the frugal edict he proposed was only a proposal, and it was all voluntary, not mandatory to wear linen clothes.

And Cao Ziyu is the Cao family, and he should have supported his edict, but he didn't, and his attitude was obviously problematic.

"Prime Minister, after the Prime Minister's frugal edict was proposed, he immediately made adjustments to his business, and the price of all the silk silk and silk in the silk and satin shop increased, and the price of all the linen coarse cloth was reduced, so that everyone could afford to buy linen clothes."

"Zilian, you did a good job."

Cao Cao praised.

"In addition, the last general's Wangjiang Tower also made changes, reducing the luxury of meat and wine, replacing it with simple meals, and lowering the price so that everyone could afford to eat."

"Zilian, you're good!"

Cao Cao patted Cao Hong's shoulder movingly, feeling that it felt good, and patted it two more times.

"But Prime Minister, when the last general actively responded to the Prime Minister's edict, Cao Ziyu's business not only did not change, but became more extravagant and wasteful.

His liquor shop perfume shop is increasing the supply of alcohol and perfume, hoping to make a lot of money in the New Year.

I heard that Taibai Restaurant has also launched a new kind of food, called steamed buns, which is extremely complicated and requires hundreds of people to work together. ”

Cao Hong used an exaggerated way to describe the method of making steamed buns, making the method of steamed buns more complicated.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng's face gradually darkened when he listened, this bun is so hard for the people and money, it is too evil.

"Prime Minister, Cao Ziyu and Taibai Restaurant are the benchmark of extravagance and waste, if the Prime Minister wants to successfully implement the frugal edict, Cao Ziyu must be severely punished, and Taibai Restaurant must also be closed.

Otherwise, others will say that the prime minister's edict does not even obey the prime minister's brother, why should we obey it?

Prime Minister, Cao Ziyu is pampered and arrogant, arrogant and lascivious, and has a corrupt character, this person is the biggest stumbling block to the Prime Minister's edict, as long as the Prime Minister is willing to severely punish Cao Ziyu, confiscate all his property, and exchange it for military rations, the final general will ensure that the Prime Minister's edict will be able to pass through the world. ”

Cao Hong said impassionedly.

"Raid Ziyu's mansion?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard, and a flash of intent flashed in his eyes, Ziyu is so rich, if he copied it, it would be enough for the three armies to eat for a long time.
