Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chen Yang in Xudu didn't know what happened in Wancheng, but he knew it would happen.

On that day, after Cao Cao visited the tavern once, in the next half month, no one cared about Chen Yang's tavern again.

However, Chen Yang was not idle.

After getting Cao Cao's drink money last time, he started his own money-making plan.

First of all, Chen Yang spent a lot of money to build a special iron pot for cooking, and then made a simple distillation device.

In the end, he also changed the tables and chairs in the tavern, because the tables and chairs in the Three Kingdoms era were very short and uncomfortable to use.

After such a toss, Chen Yang will almost spend all that money.

"You can't make a small fortune, but you can't make a big fortune. When my wine opens up the market in Xudu, I can make a lot of money." Chen Yang comforted himself.

The past half month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yang finally used that simple device to make the first bottle of distilled wine, but the alcohol content was too high, one sip would guarantee alcohol poisoning, and the smell of a large amount of alcohol was unpleasant.

We must know that the reason why the wines of later generations are so fragrant is that those big wineries hired perfumers with high salaries to make them.

So, Chen Yang went outside to buy a lot of materials for mixing wine, but unfortunately there were not many things that could be used in the Three Kingdoms period. He traveled all over Xudu, but he could only find some simple things such as honey and sweet-scented osmanthus honey.

Chen Yang spent another two days, and after failing countless times, he finally succeeded.

After success, Chen Yang began to worry again.

"There is not much money left, so we have to get this wine out of the market in Xudu as soon as possible, even if we sell a bottle, otherwise, we will have to eat dirt in a few days."

After packing the wine, Chen Yang returned to the counter and began to calculate the latest cost.

The tavern continued to open today, and as always, no customers came in, it seemed like another busy day.

"Shopkeeper Chen, long time no see!"

Just when Chen Yang was distressed, a familiar voice came from outside.

Chen Yang looked up, and was pleasantly surprised: "Aren't you that old Cao? You're finally here!"

He was worrying about money, but unexpectedly, he saw someone sending money to him.

"Old Cao?"

It was the first time Cao Cao heard someone dare to call him that, and he laughed and said, "That's right, it's my old Cao!"

There was another person beside Cao Cao, it was Cao Ang, the eldest son looked at them in disbelief.

When has Cao Cao been polite to the shopkeeper of a tavern?

there has never been!

Chen Yang pulled him into the table, and said with a smile, "Old Cao, sit down quickly, who is this?"

He looked at Cao Ang.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "My son!"

Chen Yang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Xiao Cao."

Hearing that Chen Yang called him that, the corners of Cao Ang's mouth couldn't help twitching, but Cao Cao had no objection to "Old Cao", so he smiled in response.

According to what Cao Cao said, Cao Ang knew that his little life was saved by Chen Yang, so his attitude was much more polite.

"I said, Lao Cao, it took me so long to come to my place last time, you are too shameless!" Chen Yang said jokingly, not being polite to them.

"Aren't I going to attack Wancheng with the prime minister? It will take half a month."

Cao Cao smiled, and his tone became solemn again: "However, shopkeeper Chen, you are really good at predicting things. Zhang Xiu really surrendered first and then rebelled. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise the prime minister will suffer a great loss."

Chen Yang was silent for a long time, and asked: "Old Cao, you mean, both Mr. Cao and General Dianwei are not dead?"

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang beside him, nodded and said, "If you didn't say what you said, I might be dead!"

That is not dead!

Chen Yang was thinking, would his actions change history?

But soon he dismissed this idea again, he has already crossed over, which is the biggest change to history, just let him live happily as long as he doesn't change.

"Chen shopkeeper, I plan to recommend you to the prime minister. With your talent and ability, if you can assist the prime minister, why not worry about the big things going wrong." Cao Cao looked at Chen Yang expectantly.

Chen Yang waved his hand casually: "Old Cao, forget it. I'm not suitable to be an official, let alone assist Prime Minister Cao. You must know that he is suspicious by nature and likes other people's wives the most. Working beside him is a bit dangerous, I think."

cough cough...

Cao Cao's face flushed immediately, and he had scolded Chen Yang over and over again in his heart.

You kid, can you give me Lao Cao some face?I only have this little hobby, so I don't need to emphasize it again, it's still in front of Xiao Cao's face.

Cao Cao smiled wryly in his heart, so in your eyes, Chen Zian, I am so unbearable.

But he didn't point it out.

Cao Ang couldn't help being shocked when he heard such a bold sentence, but strangely, his father was indifferent.

If other people dared to expose Cao Cao's shortcomings like this, they would have already been killed.

"Old Cao, why are you blushing? Could it be that your wife was also..." Chen Yang asked curiously.

"I don't, don't talk nonsense, it's just a little hot!" Cao Cao immediately interrupted Chen Yang, afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense.

It's only the beginning of February, and it's not hot at all. Chen Yang looked at Lao Cao curiously.

Cao Cao avoided his gaze and said, "Master Chen, you are really powerful. After I told the prime minister what you said, I rewarded me with many things when I came back from Wancheng. Since you don't want to be an official, these should be considered It was I who repaid you."

With that said, Cao Cao took out a few pieces of gold from his body and solemnly placed them in front of Chen Yang.

"Old Cao, we are also considered friends, why are you so polite? Besides, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for money!"

Chen Yang said so in his mouth, but he put it away honestly with both hands.

Afterwards, Chen Yang said again: "Old Cao, you are really kind, and I don't treat you badly. Today I will let you witness history. I have a good bottle of wine, which I guarantee is something you have never drunk before."

Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Come and try it!"

Chen Yang smiled and went back to the back kitchen to get his wine.

At this time, Cao Ang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Father, can this son really be trusted? I think he has a playful smile on his face, and he is just a street guy. Maybe he was wrong about what he said last time."

Cao Cao also put away his smile, and said, "I'll test him later, if it really works, it's naturally the best."

"If it can't be used, there is no other loss. At worst, let him continue to be the shopkeeper."

"However, this person is not simple, I think, you can trust him, but you can't trust him completely."

To say that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, that's for sure, it was engraved in his bones.

Cao Ang nodded and was about to speak, but Chen Yang came out with a wine bottle.

"I said shopkeeper Chen, what good wine can you have here?"

Cao Ang changed his words and said: "My father and I have been by the prime minister's side all the time. We have all drank all the fine wines in the world. You are not fooling people, are you?"

Hearing that Xiao Cao dared to question himself, Chen Yang immediately said: "You will know what good wine is after a while. After drinking my wine once, you will feel that other drinks are not as good as swill."

As he spoke, he had set the wine glasses and opened the wine bottle.

A unique aroma of wine permeated the entire tavern.
