Han Xiang

Chapter 28 How's the Taste?

"When is Marquis Wen going to send troops?"

"It depends on the situation of the doctor raising food. You can't let the soldiers go hungry?"

Chen Gui immediately stood up when he heard this, and reminded in a deep voice: "The amount of [-] Dendrobium grain is not small. Even if we go all out to prepare it, it will take several months. By then, Xiaopei has already fallen. The general thinks that Chen Gui will break his promise?"

"Doctor, don't get excited. Bu Shicai is playing with you. Given the reputation of the Chen family in Xuzhou, how could he break his promise? I will send troops tomorrow." Seeing that Chen Gui was a little angry, Lu Bu hurried over to explain and appease him.

Hearing Lu Bu's time point, Chen Gui resolutely quit as soon as he saw it, and his face became much more relaxed.

"Ji Ling has [-] soldiers. If Marquis Wen sends troops tomorrow, how many troops can he mobilize in a hurry? Chen Gongtai tried his best to promote the marriage, and I'm afraid 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 break the siege and didn't fight troops. Just now, I have thought of a strategy to retreat from Ji Ling. I only need to bring a few hundred soldiers to accomplish the task, and let Yuan Shu have nothing to say. The doctor just needs to prepare food with peace of mind." Lu Bu stroked his beard mysteriously and smiled. .

"What kind of trick is it? Can you tell me, and let the old man take a look at it." Although Chen Gui asked for advice on the surface, he didn't believe it in his heart. Such a reckless man would also use tricks?

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. In addition, I will ask Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to send troops to help transport food, so as to save the Chen family some porter expenses."

Chen Gui couldn't help but startled when he heard that, he thought to himself, no wonder he didn't want to bring more soldiers to Xiaopei, he dared to wait for me here, and assigned Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to lead the troops to supervise the food, I'm afraid my Chen family will be slow to raise food, right?

Lu Bu, thank you! ! !
"Ahem, thank you Wen Hou for your compassion. Since you have a clever plan in your chest, don't tell others. Wen Hou is usually good at accepting advice. I'm afraid you will be influenced by others, and that Han Yin may ruin a big event." Chen Gui It was vague.

It means don't tell me, Chen Gui, and don't tell your think tank, Chen Gong, you are easy to waver, and you can listen to anyone's words.

"Don't worry, doctor, Bu has his own calculations." Lu Bu nodded solemnly, saying to himself that it's rare for me to think of a clever plan, and naturally I will boast when I succeed.

Seeing Lu Bu's firm eyes, Chen Gui bowed his hands and said goodbye.

"Since that's the case, I will go home to raise food, so that the general can help himself."

"Okay, I'll see the doctor off."

Lu Bu was in a good mood at this time, he was smiling all over his face, and led Chen Gui to the outside of the mansion, he sent Chen Gui to the carriage with his front foot, and saw Chen Gong appearing behind him with his back foot.

"My lord is in a good mood. Has Chen Gui agreed to contribute money and food? The amount is considerable?" Chen Gong asked curiously.

Lu Bu put his hands behind his back and smiled smugly: "It all depends on the ingenuity of the public platform. The Chen family can't help but agree. As for the amount, Chen Hanyu agreed to [-] dendrobium."

"One hundred thousand?" Chen Gong first looked shocked, then lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Could it be a conspiracy?"

"Everyone is in Xuzhou. I'm not afraid that the Chen family won't honor it. However, Chen Hanyu asked for a detailed investigation of the scene, and he didn't want Chen Yu to be charged with random crimes."

"Oh, my lord was fooled." Chen Gong immediately interrupted, and then explained: "This is Chen Gui's plan to delay the attack. The Surabaya is fast and wide, and the incident has passed for several days. What evidence can we find?"

Lu Bu stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Who said to go to Surabaya for investigation? I will take my soldiers out of the city tomorrow and stay near the Prime Minister for a few days. I will find two people who can talk and come back."

"Is this okay?" Chen Gong frowned.

Lv Bu snorted coldly: "If the Chen family still doesn't recognize me? I, Lv Bu, have no temper?"

"Alright, my lord is now the lord of Xuzhou, it's time for the Chen family to recognize the reality." Chen Gong stood there stroking his beard and nodded, while Lu Bu turned and entered the prefect's mansion.

After Lu Bu returned to the mansion, while arranging the departure of the city tomorrow, he called his cronies Xu Si and Wang Kai, and asked them to entertain Han Yin.

He didn't let Chen Gong, who made the marriage happen, accompany him. Lu Bu had his own plan in mind. He was afraid that Chen Gong would be too close to Yuan Shu's people, which would affect his own interests in the end. necessary.

On the other hand, the carriage stopped at Xiapi Chen Mansion, and Chen Gui got out of the carriage with mixed feelings.

Chen Gui came to the house with full confidence, thinking that he could rely on Lu Bu's "blackmail", but in the end, because of Chen Deng's ineffectiveness, the Chen family paid a greater price.

We'll see what that bastard has to say.

Chen Gui found out where Chen Deng was, and after entering the mansion, he went straight to the side hall of the back house. At this time, Chen Deng was having lunch in the hall.

In the troubled times when food was scarce and hunger was everywhere, only a son of a wealthy family like Chen Deng could have an extra meal at noon. Ordinary families mostly had two meals in the morning and evening, and even worse, they only had one meal a day to hang their lives.

The food on the table is Chen Deng's favorite raw fish, stuffed with autumn sweet-scented osmanthus, and the expression on his face is a treat.

"It's raw fish cake again?"

"Father? Are you back?"

Hearing Chen Gui's voice behind him, Chen Deng hastily wiped away the stains on the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, stood up and bowed his hands, and then helped Chen Gui to the side table to sit down.

Chen Dengsu likes raw meat, especially fish. Chen Gui persuaded him many times to no avail, but finally nothing happened. Chen Deng was afraid of making his father angry, so when he wanted to eat, he would secretly eat it.

Today when Chen Gui went to see Lv Bu, Chen Deng spent a long time thinking about it, and because he was successful in persuading Han Yin, he "rewarded" himself with a meal of fried fish, but he didn't expect Chen Gui to return at noon.

"Han Yin promised to frame Long Xiang. I don't know what Lu Bu said after hearing that?"

Before Chen Gui could open his mouth, Chen Deng changed the topic first. After all, his eating habits were not worth mentioning in front of major events, but Chen Gui didn't follow his question to answer, but pointed to the raw fish on the table and asked, "Raw meat? It's fishy, ​​chewy and hard to swallow, Yuanlong only loves this thing, so why don't you explain it to Weifu?"

"As long as you wash it carefully, and then serve it with ginger, pepper vinegar, sauce, etc., not only will there be no fishy smell, but the original taste of the food will be retained. It is really delicious. Compared with pork and mutton, the processing of fish is the best. Simple" Chen Deng has rich experience in raw food, and answered Chen Gui's questions eloquently.

"Hearing what Yuanlong said, my father suddenly became eloquent."

When Chen Deng heard this, he was immediately elated, and quickly asked for instructions: "I will give you a taste, my son? Later, father will close his eyes and taste carefully, and he will definitely understand the taste of it."

"En." Chen Gui nodded slightly.

Chen Deng's heart was pounding wildly. He put the fish, condiments, and chopsticks on the tray, and brought them to Chen Gui lightly.

Chen Deng was about to put the tray on the table, but found that Chen Gui stood up suddenly. Chen Deng mistakenly thought that the other party couldn't wait to taste it, so he bowed and raised his hands forward.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gui went to take the chopsticks with his right hand, and unexpectedly slapped Chen Deng's face with his palm.

Because it happened so suddenly, Chen Deng had no time to react, and the tray suddenly tilted to the right, and the fish and soup on the tray fell all over the floor.

Chen Deng covered his face with one hand, and looked at Chen Gui in disbelief. He was about to ask why, but Chen Gui spoke first.

"How does it taste?"
