Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

When Chen Xi came back, Liu Bei had already poured the vegetables in the earthen pot into the sea bowl. The simple stewed radish with bacon might not be as fragrant as Chen Xi's family, but Liu Bei looked contented.

"Stewed radishes with bacon." Chen Xi looked at the stewed radishes that had absorbed the aroma of the meat and couldn't help but smile. The smile was very sincere.

"Let's try it." Liu Bei handed the chopsticks aside to Chen Xi, and he didn't have the concept of sharing and eating. Ordinary people don't pay so much attention to it. A bowl of meat dishes is already rare.

Chen Xi picked up a piece of radish with chopsticks, it was not comparable to the work of his own cook, but when eating, Chen Xi rarely showed a smile.

"It's very ordinary." Chen Xi scolded with a smile, not knowing what kind of mentality he had.

"You bastard!" Liu Bei raised his chopsticks and paused, looked at Chen Xi's soft and shameful smile, and laughed himself.

"What about the prosperous age, really depends on the food in the bowl." Chen Xi added another piece of bacon, which has a strong salty taste, even if it has been stewed, you can taste that taste. If it was in Chen Xi's house, Chen Xi would be the cook Come here, let Chen Ying teach and educate.

"It's delicious." Liu Bei picked up a piece of radish, broke off a piece of steamed bun from the side, and ate it. The taste was so strong that you had to eat steamed buns to reconcile it, but even so, Liu Bei was still very happy.

"To be honest, if this was in my house, I would have caught the cook and let her copy the books." Chen Xi broke a steamed bun and said with a smile.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.

"I was a little ashamed when I first met, but I feel at ease when I eat it, but the taste is too strong. Is it because I have blown up the price of salt?" Chen Xi had a thoughtful look.

Since sun-dried salt has become the mainstream, state-run salt farms have become the main force. The families that once mainly sold salt have basically not been involved in the salt industry. After all, compared to the profit from selling salt, they might as well invest in other things, such as Talk about a low-key and profitable logistics industry.

Of course, some guys are still selling salt, but they are not so much selling salt as they are buying brands, refined salt, snowflake salt and other non-mainstream salts that use IQ tax as a means of making money, mainly to sell to those who have money big family.

Well, the non-mainstream salt that uses IQ tax as a means of making money is produced by a special small factory under the name of Chen Xi. By the way, this small factory also relies on boiled kelp to make something close to monosodium glutamate, and then mixes it together to make salt with snowflakes. In the name of IQ tax everywhere.

No way, the umami taste of monosodium glutamate is deadly to the ancients, so Chen Xi used snowflake salt to collect IQ taxes very neatly. Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that Chen Xi himself doesn't eat much Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping on the market. The salt sold, because the salt sold by these guys has not gone through the last step of the process.

But it is undeniable that even without the last procedure, the salt bought by these guys is eight blocks better than the green salt of the later Tang Dynasty.

You must know that at this time, many ordinary people brush a few salty stones in the pot and use them as salt. The salt of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping is still the most top-notch product, and it is also sold at an extremely cheap price. , the common people think this is a benevolent government.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping also eat this kind of salt. Even in the early days, apart from Chen Xi who will remember to deal with it, the major families also eat this kind of stuff, so there is nothing to say.

But later, when Chen Xi has a magic weapon, he can use it to collect IQ tax. Regardless of just adding a few crafts, the price will be multiplied by five in an instant, and after adding something close to monosodium glutamate, the price will be multiplied by three. Perfect.

Now most of the aristocratic families eat salt with more than 90% of the price of IQ tax. Of course, there are some stubborn guys who are determined not to eat high-priced salt, but they are free to buy and sell. Not a demon.

Besides, Chen Xi has always felt that he is very conscientious. You must know that more than ten years ago, the price of a stone of salt reached 8,000 yuan, and the quality of the salt sold was shoddy. Now he has added 90% of the IQ tax to the salt It's only 2,000 yuan, which is not very high!

"..." Liu Bei squinted at Chen Xi, "Zi Chuan, you look at things from a very strange angle. People can afford salt and meat..."

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Chen Xi said solemnly, "Isn't that because I have blown up the prices of these things?"

Liu Bei said that he didn't want to talk anymore, and then he buried his head and started to eat, while Chen Xi smiled happily. Although he was flustered, Chen Xi was still very happy.

"After eating, I feel much calmer." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Is there any memorial tablet and incense, I'll go to offer incense and light a fire."

"There are only a few tablets." Liu Bei pointed to the tablet on the side of the small living room, and then threw the flint to Chen Xi. He could also see that Chen Xi's mood was indeed much better, although he still had some intentions to argue with him. But the mentality recovered.

Chen Xi took the Flint and lit the oil lamp. No candles were used. Candles are considered precious items now. Although Chen Xi roughly knew what to use to make candles, the raw materials are not in place now, so candles are still very precious. stuff.

"Mr. Xuande, your tablet is wrong." Chen Xi said while lighting the fire.

"What's wrong?" Liu Bei sat up straight and asked.

"Han Mou and I are missing." Chen Xi turned his head, half of his face looked extremely dark in the afternoon twilight, while the other half of his face reflected a dim yellow under the light of the oil lamp, snowflakes fell outside the window at some point, at this moment If it is a supernatural story, the omen has already been revealed.

"You can do it, just worship Han Mou." Liu Bei scolded with a smile. He also knew that there are many people worshiping Cookie and Chen Xi in the Central Plains. Most of the images are pure white nine-tailed fox, or dragon-headed nine-tailed fox.

There are too many people who pray to these two to pray for a good harvest in the coming year. After all, agriculture is too important in this era.

"It's better to ask God than to ask oneself." Chen Xi replied with a smile, "I can have many children and grandchildren."

Liu Bei laughed. In fact, as long as the gods in China are prosperous, they will have the priesthood of having many sons and grandchildren. There is no way, the inheritance of descendants, bloodlines and legal system may be more important to the people of this country than their own lives.

"Ms. Cai is seeking marriage and children in your temple, isn't it!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"That's what you said." Chen Xi had a headache, he didn't know what to say anymore, just when he said that it is better to ask God than to ask himself, Liu Bei gave a critical blow.

"Okay, no kidding, just burn incense and pray for blessings." Liu Bei didn't plan to discuss this issue in depth. Two big men discussing this kind of issue will become pornographic sooner or later, and there are no women here.

Chen Xi didn't say much. He lit the incense and didn't make any prayers. If the gods can realize their wishes, how can the three animals and six animals be exchanged for peace in the world and good weather? Come on, it's probably more like human greed, assuming there really are gods.

Therefore, what Chen Xi pursues is that it is better to ask God than to ask himself. Instead of offering three animals and six animals as sacrifices to the gods and declaring his greed in the form of prayer, it is better to write down his greed and use his own hands. Completion, the former is greed, while the latter is practice, a completely different concept.

"It looks like you didn't make a wish." Liu Bei greeted Chen Xi.

"No need, you can take care of your own affairs. It's better to ask God than to ask yourself." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It's been another year of heavy snow. I don't know how those people in foreign countries are."

"I think it's probably okay." Liu Bei poured a glass of warm wine for Chen Xi and himself and said with a smile, "Needless to say, Cao Mengde is a hero who can live like a human being no matter what. As for the character, the second brother and third disciple Long on the Ganges River has gained a great advantage, there is no need to worry at all, as for the Yuan family, there is no need to worry, the only thing to worry about is Sun Bofu, isn't there Gong Jin looking after him?"

"What I'm worried about now is that Xingba and Bofu are getting mixed up, and Zhou Gongjin can't control it at all." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.

The combat effectiveness of one Erha is at most demolishing the house, and two Erhas are very troublesome, not to mention that one Erha is not owned by the family, but raised by others, which is even more troublesome.

"No way, I know what Xingba is like." Liu Bei waved his hand and said, he still knows Gan Ning very well. Although he is a little more realistic, Gan Ning's intelligence and courage are very good, even if Liu Bei believed that Gan Ning was a wise general who could stand on his own.

"Hehe." Chen Xi babbled and didn't say anything. Erha's IQ is actually very high, but a high enough IQ doesn't affect his idiot side.

In fact, when Chen Xi was talking nonsense, Zhou Yu was already furious. Gan Ning and Sun Ce, two like-minded bastards, managed to mix together. The two big men with the same adventurous spirit gave Guishuang a big gift during the Chinese New Year. , A large-scale riot broke out directly on Sumatra Island, and these two people took advantage of the chaos to sweep away a group of Guishuang people.

Zhou Yu didn't mind attacking Guishuang's navy, let alone such a sneak attack that won a complete victory, but Zhou Yu was very angry with the two lawless and nonsense things.

"I've tried my best to explain it. Look, Kenmailer is very sure that the Guishuang navy over there and the people of Ye Tiaoguo have great conflicts and conflicts. Then we went. After that, I climbed up and shouted. , they turned against each other." Sun Ce knelt down on the seat with an innocent expression, explaining his previous generosity.

"Xingba, what about you?" Zhou Yu looked at Gan Ning, not hiding his anger at all.
