Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Shopkeeper Chen, you... have exposed me, Lao Cao again!"

Cao Cao muttered in his heart, he was not only not angry, but also a little embarrassed.

This scene happened to be seen by Guo Jia beside him, and his mouth grew wide in surprise.

How could this be?

Who is that shopkeeper Chen?Even Cao Cao wouldn't be angry with him, it's unbelievable!

Just when Guo Jia was thinking wildly, Chen Yang's voice came from inside again: "Lao Dian, come! These meat slices are already cooked, and they will taste delicious with some sauce first. How do you feel?"

Dian Wei ate it for a while, and then praised: "Master Chen, you are really amazing. Not only does the wine you brew taste delicious, but even this hot pot is very delicious, it's so cool!"

Just as they were talking, Cao Cao and Guo Jia who were outside smelled a scent, and their saliva flowed out of the corners of their mouths.

"Old Dian, I heard you mention Guo Jia just now. It seems that you guys know each other. What is Guo Fengxiao like?"

Chen Yang thought that when he was watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, his favorite adviser was Guo Jia. Compared with him, Zhuge Liang might have to stand aside.

If it wasn't for Guo Jia's death on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, then we don't know who will win.

Then, Guo Jia outside heard Dian Wei say: "Guo Jia is a drunkard, in fact he can't do anything, let me tell you, my cousin Dian Wei can beat Guo Jia by a few blocks, it's okay Easy to say."

Chen Yang: "..."

No way?

How weak is Guo Fengxiao?

Guo Jia, who was eavesdropping outside, looked sour. If Cao Cao didn't pull him, he would have rushed in.

In fact, it was Cao Cao who wanted to continue eavesdropping and stopped him.

"Old Dian, you are talking nonsense before you drink, eat more food!"

Chen Yang shook his head, apparently not believing Dian Wei's words.

"Boss Chen, if you compare with Guo Jia, who is stronger?" Dian Wei said.

"Comparing Guo Jia to me, he is a younger brother!"

Anyway, there is no need to pay for bragging, Chen Yang continued: "I want to keep a low profile now, and I don't want to be a counselor, otherwise the prime minister will have nothing to do with him, Guo Jia."

Guo Jia blushed, a tavern owner, how dare you talk about me like that?I'm so angry!

Dian Wei laughed cheerfully after hearing this: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are right, Guo Jia is a younger brother, haha!"

"Lao Dian, do you really know Guo Jia? Then when you go back, tell him not to indulge in drinking and playing with women. If you continue like this, you will die soon!" Chen Yang's words can be regarded as an introduction to Guo Jia. reminder.

Depend on!

Guo Jia really couldn't bear it this time, he went directly to the tavern.

"Feng Xiao, don't..."

Cao Cao, who still wanted to eavesdrop, quickly chased after him, opened the door and entered.

"Ch..."

Dian Wei just shouted, but when he saw Cao Cao waving at him, he immediately shut up.

As soon as Guo Jia came up, before he had time to speak, Cao Cao took a step ahead and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, long time no see. Unexpectedly, Lao Dian came to drink with you without telling me."

"So it's Lao Cao, I haven't seen you for half a month, and you finally think of me!"

Chen Yang pulled him to sit down, and said, "Please sit down quickly, who is this?"

Cao Cao said: "Old Guo, my friend, I specially brought you an introduction."

Guo Jia was not angry either, so he grinned.

Chen Yang said: "Since it is your friend, Lao Cao, it is also my friend, please sit down."

After speaking, Chen Yang went back to the back kitchen to get the dishes.

Dian Wei looked at Guo Jia, feeling a little embarrassed, just now he wanted to brag, so he took the opportunity to hurt Guo Jia, and seeing how angry he was, he obviously heard it outside.

"Feng Xiao, please pay attention later, don't reveal our identities, understand?" Cao Cao reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang came out.

"Old Cao, you guys came at a good time this time. I made a hot pot, and we will eat together." Chen Yang said.

Cao Cao's gaze was immediately attracted by the stove on the table. Under the stove, there was a fire plate burning red charcoal, and the soup in an iron pot was being roasted.

I only saw that Chen Yang picked up a piece of meat, put it into the milky white soup and boiled it for a while, then took it out and dipped it in some sauce, and ate it with relish.

The aroma I smelled just now came from here, and it looks quite delicious.

Boss Cao had never seen this way of eating, so he couldn't help but ask, "Master Chen, what is this?"

Chen Yang said: "This is called hot pot. It is not easy for me to make it well. You should try it first."

It is really not easy to make a hot pot in this era. The main reason is that there are too few ingredients. After finally finding some pepper, I reluctantly made a pot of soup.

Pepper was brought back by Zhang Qian in the Western Regions. This kind of thing was very expensive in the Three Kingdoms era, and Chen Yang was only willing to cook this kind of hot pot once.

Hearing Chen Yang's introduction, Cao Cao felt very novel and took the initiative to stretch out his chopsticks.

"This... is delicious, so delicious!"

As soon as Cao Cao took the first bite, he praised directly: "Moreover, these are freshly cooked, so fresh."

"Really?" Guo Jia was still a little resistant to Chen Yang.

Seeing that Cao Cao ate all of it, he didn't want to be special, so he burned him as soon as he ate it, and then he also shouted: "It's delicious! I've never seen this way of eating, it tastes very delicious ,too delicious!"

Seeing how happy they were all eating, Chen Yang said, "Old Cao, I want to see you. It's really difficult! The last time I left, it took half a month."

"I can't help it. I have a lot of things recently and I am too busy."

Cao Cao's smile subsided, and he said with a sad face: "Nowadays there is a spring drought, and there is no rain for half a month, and the crops cannot grow, which has caused the price of food to soar. Now there is not enough food, the people are starving, and the army cannot go out. The prime minister has no choice. I have to accompany you." The prime minister is worried!"

Chen Yang thought for a while, and said, "Just this?"

Guo Jia said: "Is this matter easy for you?"

Chen Yang nodded: "Of course it's simple, it's not just the food problem, let me solve it, it's easy as pie."

Guo Jia said: "The food problem is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. If it is not handled properly, it will be a big trouble. It is not easy at all."

Chen Yang said casually: "Food is difficult for you to handle, but for me, it's really not a problem."

Seeing Chen Yang's confident expression, Cao Cao quickly asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, what's your solution?"

Chen Yang said: "Actually, Xu has no food, but outside of Xudu, there is plenty of food, and if you can't buy it, you can get it."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "This spring drought is not just for Xudu, but for the whole world. No matter how much money you have to buy it, others may not be able to sell it to you."

Chen Yang said unhurriedly: "This is not necessarily the case. Jiangdong and other places, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, have a bumper harvest every year, and there must be sufficient food, and places like Qingzhou should be the same."

"In addition, there are so many princes and families in the world, there must be a lot of surplus food in the family, we can buy all these, our eyes should not be limited to one Xudu, but the whole world."

Cao Cao thought it made sense to say so, but he asked again, "How do I buy it?"

Chen Yang pretended to be mysterious and said: "How to buy, there is a little trick in it, I promise, as long as I make a move, all the grain merchants in the world can't help but send grain to Xudu, and let the prime minister choose."
