Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

"My tiger girl deserves to be matched with the Qilin son of the Cao family!"

Outside the gate of the mansion, Lu Bu shouted loudly.

Originally, Lu Bu was a little hesitant.

Not only did he have the intention of marrying Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son, but he also felt that Chen Gong was right. Cao Cao was more treacherous than Yuan Shu, and he would be killed sooner or later. Cao Cao's plan.

But Lu Bu felt a little unwilling to marry Yuan Shu.

If Lu Bu didn't know Cao Ang's name and Cao Ang's talents, maybe Lu Bu would think it was good to marry Yuan

Shu. His daughter married to Huainan and became the crown prince.

In the future If Yuan Shu really becomes powerful, then he will be the father-in-law of the country, and his daughter will become the queen sooner or later.

It is precisely because these two ideas do not necessarily guarantee what the future will be like and what changes there will be.

Therefore, in Lu Bu's heart He hesitated and did not make a decision on the spot, so he thought of going for a ride on the school grounds and thinking about it on the horse. At this moment, Chen Gui came over and his words made Lu Bu feel that his mind was clear, and he instantly felt like he was enlightened. He made a decision.

He wanted to break off the marriage with Yuan Shu, the tyrant and tyrant! He also sent an envoy to Xudu to express his intention to marry Cao Cao!

"If it weren't for the doctor's words, Lu Bu would have been deceived by Yuan Shu and made a huge mistake!"

Lü Bu looked at Chen Gui with a grateful look on his face. He felt that this gray-haired old doctor was more mature and had a long-term vision.

If he, Lu Bu, really gave his daughter to Yuan Shu's son, then he would be completely Bound to Yuan Shu's chariot.

At that time, if he and Yuan Shu attack Cao Cao, and Cao Cao threatens the emperor to order the princes and issue an order to the princes of the world to be diligent, wouldn't Lu Bu become the target of public criticism?

When Lu Bu was still under Dong Zhuo's command, Even after the Eighteen Routes of princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu even fought with the generals of the princes at Hulao Pass!

Although Lu Bu killed many of the princes and generals at the time, it was unstoppable.

But the mighty momentum of the Eighteen Routes of princes also gave way to Lu Bu's memory is still fresh in his mind.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo still chose to avoid the influence of the princes and move the capital to Guanzhong despite Dong Zhuo's original domineering attitude...

But now, Lu Bu is nearly fifty years old and no longer has the energy and bravery of the past.

If he is in this situation again The target of public criticism, standing opposite the princes of the world, I am afraid that there will be no good end...

Chen Gui saw that Lu Bu was moved by him, and he stroked his beard with relief.

Deep in his muddy old eyes, there was a flash of light.

Chen Gui Of course, he was not so kind. He was not really worried about Lu Bu's situation. He just didn't want Lu Bu to unite with Yuan Shu.

In the minds of Chen Gui and other Xuzhou aristocratic families, Lu Bu was brave and foolhardy, and was not a wise leader.

Such people occupying Xuzhou will bring disaster to Xuzhou sooner or later.

Therefore, Chen Gui and others have long wanted to welcome Liu Bei back, but Lu Bu has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, so there has been no chance.

Even if Liu Bei cannot be welcomed back, then Xuzhou will be returned to Xudu The imperial court can be regarded as legitimate, and it is better than being in the hands of Lu Bu.

Today, when he learned that Yuan Shu's envoys came to welcome the bride with generous gifts, Chen Gui felt something was wrong.

Lu Bu is like a tiger. If he unites with Yuan Shu, then Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and the southeast of Yuzhou, They will all be connected together, and they will be invincible. At that time, it will be difficult to eradicate Lu Bu!

So, in order to prevent Lu Bu and Yuan Shu from marrying each other, Chen Gui came in a hurry and used some words to dissuade Lu Bu. The thought of marrying Yuan Shu.

However, Chen Gui did not expect that Lu Bu would listen to his casual remark that instead of marrying Yuan Shu, it would be better to marry the famous Cao Ang. What he was thinking...

This actually made Chen Gui a little silent.

He just said it casually, and the real words to persuade Lu Bu were all based on Xiao Yi's interests.

Who knew that although the previous words had some effect, they had little effect.

In the end This unintentional remark seemed to play right into Lu Bu's hands...

In fact, Chen Gui felt that Lu Bu was a bit wishful thinking.

Although Lu Bu was famous all over the world and was a prince, Lu Bu's daughter was also beautiful and had a beautiful face. It is also said that this girl was not born to Lu Bu's wife Yan, but actually the daughter of Diao Chan.

But this alone is not enough to marry Cao Cao!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Shu is a withered bone in the grave, while Lu Bu is brave and foolhardy. , they cannot last long.

It is fine for Lu Bu's daughter to be a concubine for Cao Cao's son, but she may not be qualified to be a wife!

After all, when a son of a noble family marries a wife, he still values ​​the family status and power of his wife's family, because he is a good match, let alone the son of a prince. Wife?

If you want to be Cao Ang's head wife and Cao Cao's daughter-in-law, you must at least be the daughter of a famous noble family!

That is to say, the kind of aristocratic family with big trees and deep roots that has been passed down for many generations. Even if the dynasty changes, it will not affect the emergence of celebrities in the family and officials from generation to generation... rather than the kind of princes who rise and fall, and the nouveau riche who suddenly become prosperous.

If a nouveau riche with a weak foundation like Lu Bu were to be destroyed in one fell swoop, the whole family would be defeated and nothing would be left.

So it looks like it's winning, but it's not.

It was precisely because Cao Cao wanted to choose a good wife as his eldest son Cao Ang.

Therefore, although Cao Ang is twenty-one years old this year, he is not married yet.

What's more, Cao Cao now holds the emperor in power to control the princes, and his power is not small. His son Cao Ang does not rely on the wings of his father Cao Cao.

But he is better than his father, even better than his father Cao Cao!

With his resourcefulness and the ability to shoot bravely, Wancheng forced Zhang Xiu back, Xu Du surrendered to Tian Feng, saved Chen Guo from danger, captured Zhang Kai with one arm, and defeated Chen Guo with three arrows, and Chen Guo's army and civilians actively recognized the master and surrendered. Without losing the name of benevolence and righteousness...

Cao Ang's various deeds have now been spread among Yuzhou and Xuzhou!

Such a young hero, even if he is not the son of Cao Cao, is not a creature of the pond, how can he marry a wife at will?

Even Chen Gui had the urge to marry Cao Ang after hearing Cao Ang's recent reputation, but Chen Gui was old and had no unmarried daughters.

However, although Chen Gui thought so in his heart, he did not show it in front of Lu Bu.

He pondered for a moment and said to Lu Bu:"Since the general wants to get married, he can send my son Chen Deng to Xudu to deliver a letter to express his feelings and explore Cao Sikong's tone."

Chen Gui had long wanted him to His son Chen Deng went to Xudu to meet Cao Cao and discuss plotting against Lu Bu, but Lu Bu had been holding off Chen Deng before.

This time Chen Gui took the opportunity to propose.

Lu Bu indeed agreed:"Okay, let me trouble the doctor and his son!"

At this point, Lu Bu turned around and ordered:"Come here, tie up Han Yin, the envoy who rebelled against Yuan Shu, and escort him to Xu Du together, to show that I, Lu Bu, will not Complicity with the rebels!"

Poor Han Yin, who happily came to Xuzhou to find a bride, but was kidnapped by Lu Bu without even getting a drink of water.

Chen Gong tried to dissuade him from the side, but Lu Bu thought of what Chen Gui said about the old feud between Chen Gong and Cao Cao, so he felt that Chen Gong had selfish motives and simply ignored him.

So just like that, Lu Bu accepted the gift of food and grass brought by Han Yin. To be precise, it was confiscated.

And Han Yin was tied up with five flowers, and Chen Deng, the son of Chen Gui, took him to Xudu.

The white-haired old doctor Chen Gui saw this in his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

By doing this, Lu Bu had already offended Yuan Shu.

Even if Cao Cao does not agree to marry Lu Bu, it is difficult for Yuan Shu and Lu Bu to reconcile.……

……

A few days later, Xu Du.

Upon learning that Chen Deng had arrived, Cao Cao met with Chen Deng in the garden pavilion of Sikong Mansion.

"Yuan Long is here, please take a seat.

The hot pot will be served soon."

I saw a square table in the middle of the pavilion in the garden. Cao Cao was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the main seat.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were seated on the left and right.

On the table, there were Taking a mouthful of a copper tripod, the heat in the tripod rises, the water splashes, and a strange aroma comes to his nose. Chen Deng smells it from a distance and salivates like crazy.

Chen Deng is no stranger to the bronze tripod. Since ancient times, the main function of the tripod is Its function is to cook utensils, that is, pots and pans. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Whether it is a round tripod with three legs and two ears, or a square tripod with four legs, it is all for making fire underneath. Cooking food.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor Zhou’s meal had the specifications of Nine Tripods and Eight Gui, that is, seventeen pieces of cooking utensils, and seventeen dishes. The princes’ meal had the specifications of Seven Tripods and Six Gui, that is, thirteen pieces of cooking utensils, and ten dishes. Three dishes.

Below the princes, the ministers have the standard of five tripods and four guis. This is the ultimate that ordinary people can achieve without relying on blood.

Therefore, there is an inspirational saying, which is that a man cannot eat five tripods when he is alive, and he will be cooked with five tripods when he dies![ ]

It means that if a man cannot get into the official position of a high-ranking official, sit in the court, and enjoy the standard of eating with the five tripods in his life, then even if he dies, he will have to use the five tripods to cook himself... so , Chen Deng, who was born in a family that was famous for its dishes, was no stranger to using cauldrons to cook food. However, the hot pot mentioned by Cao Cao made Chen Deng a little puzzled.

Especially when Chen Deng looked at the soup cooked in the cauldron, it was different from the one cooked in the cauldron. The soup was different from ordinary water. There was some fiery red fruit floating in it, and even the soup looked very red.

A spicy smell came to my face...

Although I didn't know what it was, when I saw Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu , all the various cut dishes on the table were put into the pot with chopsticks, and Chen Deng was also moving his index fingers.

After all, he, Chen Deng, is a famous gourmet and gourmet in this era!

Chen Deng especially loves to eat fish. Sashimi, which is sashimi, so in the original history, Chen Deng also died early in middle age because of eating too much sashimi and contracting parasitic diseases...

When Chen Deng saw Cao Cao and the others greeting him, he just looked after himself. Chopsticks, I was sweating after eating, and I couldn't stop laughing.

I simply suppressed all the doubts in my heart, and followed suit, and rinsed my favorite dishes in the pot. When they were almost cooked, I poured them into the pot. His mouth was full of saliva.

After chewing the jujube wholeheartedly, Chen Deng's eyes suddenly widened. It was so spicy.

But the spicy and delicious taste in his mouth made Chen Deng unable to stop, so he quickly took off his chopsticks.

It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that Chen Deng covered his round belly and apologized to Cao Cao and Guo Jiacheng Yu in embarrassment.

Cao Cao laughed:"Yuanlong, you don't have to be polite. The first time we ate this hot pot, it was just like Yuanlong.".

Knowing that Yuan Long loves food, he met Yuan Long here and entertained him with hot pot. Chen

Deng felt relieved and was a little moved by Cao Cao's intentions.

Then he asked strangely:"Sikong, what is this hot pot?"

And what is the red thing floating in the cauldron just now? Hearing this, Cao

Cao smiled more and more proudly:"The red thing is called chili pepper. It is an ancient relic that my son accidentally discovered in the wild when he was working in Ruyang.

Zixiu discovered that this material can be used for cooking, stir-frying it with dogwood, pepper, butter, etc., and adding condiments to make soups and dishes, which is very delicious.

Because the soup looks like fire, Zixiu named it hot pot.

This was also sent by Zixiu from Ruyang a few days ago.

By the way, Zixiu should be in Chen State now."

While Cao Cao was introducing chili peppers and hot pot, he didn't forget to mention at the end that his great son is now in the Chen Kingdom.

In fact, he was boasting about Cao Ang's victory over the Chen Kingdom with three arrows, and the Chen Kingdom's army and the people actively recognized the leader...

As for the chili peppers and hot pot, when Cao Ang drew the blind box, the bronze-level prizes would sometimes reveal a pound of chili seeds, and the system’s chili seeds were dried chili peppers with seeds. Therefore, in addition to farming, Cao Ang also took out A lot of them are used to make hot pot dishes to improve the taste.

Of course, in addition to enjoying it with Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Xu Chu and others, Cao Ang also didn’t forget the old Cao from Xu Du, who sent a lot of them, as well as how to make hot pot.

These days Here, Cao Cao, Guo Jiacheng, Yu and others ate this stuff for several days in a row.

Even the serious Xun Yu ate several times. He got angry after eating and couldn't sit down while watching the memorial. He simply asked for leave today and couldn't come....

Opposite Cao Cao, Chen Deng's face changed when he heard Cao Cao's words such as chili pepper, hot pot, butter, etc.!

Chili pepper is such a delicious thing. Although it is spicy, it can produce fluid and sweat, which is better than many precious medicines. Why did he get it before this? No one noticed?

Chen Deng just felt that all his meals in the previous years were in vain!

He was impressed that Cao Ang could find such relics in the mountains and fields when he went to Ruyang to farm.

As for the way to eat hot pot with chili peppers, it is even more This made Chen Deng, a gourmet, extremely impressed.

What kind of smart mind must he have to think of such a way to eat?

At this moment, Chen Deng even had the urge to worship Cao Ang as his teacher!

In contrast, for Cao Ang's other Chen Deng just admires all kinds of talents.

After all, Chen Deng is also a man full of resourcefulness.

But when it comes to Cao Ang's discovery of chili peppers and the invention of hot pot, Chen Deng, the gourmet, is impressed from the bottom of his heart!

Wait!

Chen Deng is horrified. Startled, he suddenly realized that Cao Cao mentioned butter just now!

This made Chen Deng's face darken instantly:"I have heard for a long time that Sikong valued farming and mulberry farming, and he was a virtuous man. How come he slaughtered cattle for the sake of food and drink? Cook with butter!

Now is the time for spring plowing. How much manpower can be replaced by a plowing cow, and how many acres of land can be plowed!"

Seeing that Chen Deng was so serious and even seemed to be angry with Cao Cao, Cao Cao was not angry. He was even pleased that Chen Deng valued farming and dared to violate Yan Zhijian.

Such a talented, resourceful and morally principled person , He deserves to be admired and reused!

Guo Jia said with a smile:"Yuanlong, you know why this cattle is so valuable?

Why did the imperial court prohibit the slaughter of cattle without reason in ancient times?"

Chen Deng said:"Of course it's because the cattle can plow the fields and save manpower.

A strong cow can carry dozens of men! Cheng

Yu answered with a smile:"Then if there is a tool that can double or even multiple times increase the efficiency of plowing, so that the fields that originally required ten cows can be plowed by five or even three or two cows in the same time." Finished plowing.

So are cows still that important?"

"this……"

Chen Deng subconsciously wanted to say it was important, but if it was true as Cheng Yu said, then the status of the cow might really not be that important...

At this moment, Chen Dengfu reached his heart and thought of the many things he had done along the way. Outside the capital, I saw soldiers and civilians stationed in the fields using a somewhat different kind of plow. It looked extremely easy and plowed the fields much faster.

At that time, Chen Deng only thought that Xudu's oxen were stronger and stronger, but he did not expect that it was because of the plow.

"Is that the crooked plow?"

Chen Deng blurted out, and Cao Cao immediately laughed and said:"Yes, that is a curved shaft plow. It was an improvement strategy that my son came up with when he was working in the field in Ruyang and saw that straight plowing was slow and difficult."

Although Cao Cao deliberately said it in an understatement, it was like a bolt from the blue when it fell on Chen Deng's ears!

After a long time, Chen Deng said in a daze:"The talent of Master Zixiu is unpredictable!

He is full of astonishing strategies, has invincible bravery, and has the ability to shoot through the nine heavens.

In addition, by analogy, ancient relics can be discovered, intoxicating delicious food can be created, and the curved shaft plow can be improved and created because the straight plow is difficult to use.

This is the work of Shen Nong!

Fortunately, Lu Bu wanted me to propose marriage on his behalf, and wanted to marry his tiger girl to Master Zixiu.

Now it seems that no matter how beautiful Lu Bu's daughter is, she is still not as talented as Master Zi Xiu!"

Chen Deng's shocked expression and admiration for Cao Ang made Cao Cao, an old father, very happy and proud, and he felt like he was pretending.

Especially when he heard Chen Deng say that Lu Bu intended to marry his daughter, Cao Cao was even more proud. He said:"Yes, my son is rich in dragon and phoenix, how can he take a wife at will?"

Even the tiger girl of Lu Bu and Diao Chan can only give my son as my concubine!".
