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

"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 reluctant to marry Yuan Shu. If Lu Bu didn't know Cao Ang's name and talent, maybe Lu Bu would think it was good to marry Yuan Shu and become the crown prince in the future. If Yuan Shu really becomes powerful, he will be the father 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 will happen 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 tyrannical traitor, and 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 He was bound to Yuan Shu's chariot.

At that time, if he and Yuan Shu attacked Cao Cao, and Cao Cao threatened the emperor and ordered the princes to be diligent, wouldn't Lu Bu become the target of public criticism when he was still under Dong Zhuo ? Even after the Eighteen Route Princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu fought with the generals under the princes at Hulao Pass!

Although Lu Bu killed many of the princes' generals at the time, the overwhelming momentum of the Eighteen Route Princes was also defeated. Lu Bu's memory is still fresh.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo still chose to retreat from the feudal princes and move the capital to Guanzhong... But now, Lu Bu is nearly fifty years old, and he no longer has the energy and bravery he once had.

Standing opposite the princes of the world, Chen

Gui looked at Lu Bu and stroked his beard with relief.

Of course he is not so kind, he is not really worried about Lu Bu's situation, he just doesn't want Lu Bu to unite with Yuan Shu.

In the minds of Chen Gui and other Xuzhou families, Lu Bu is brave and foolhardy, and is 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, and there has been no chance.

Even if he cannot welcome Liu Bei back, he will return to Xuzhou. The imperial court was in good hands, and it was 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 that something was wrong.

If Lu Bu united with Yuan Shu, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou southeast They will all be connected together and become invincible.

At that time, it will be difficult to eradicate Lu Bu!

So, in order to prevent Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's marriage alliance, Chen Gui came in a hurry and used some words to dissuade Lu Bu!

However, Chen Gui did not expect that Lu Bu would listen to his casual remark that it would be better to marry Yuan Shu than Cao Ang, who was famous all over the world. What he was thinking...

This made Chen Gui feel a little silent.

He just said it casually, but what he really said to persuade Lu Bu was in the interests of Xiao Yi.

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 heart...

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 is not the daughter of Lu Bu's wife Yan, but is actually the daughter of Diao Chan.

However, this alone is not enough to marry Cao Cao!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Shu is a dead man in the grave, and Lu Bu is brave and foolhardy. , it will not 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 his wife's family status and power, let alone marrying the son of a prince. Wife?

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

That is to say, it is 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 famous people in the family and officials from generation to generation... rather than the kind of lords 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. Without losing the name of benevolence and righteousness...

Cao Ang's various deeds have now 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 about 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 to 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 marry her, 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 bite of the copper tripod, the heat in the tripod rose, the water splashed, and a strange aroma hit his nose. Chen Deng smelled it from a distance, and his mouth watered.

Chen Deng was no stranger to the bronze tripod. Since ancient times, the tripod has been the main thing. Its function is to cook utensils, that is, pots and pans (for Baoshuan 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's meal was based on the specifications of Jiuding and Bagui, which were seventeen pieces of cooking utensils, and seventeen dishes. Three dishes.

For the princes and below, the five-cauldron and four-gui standard are the best that ordinary people can achieve without relying on blood.

Therefore, there is an inspirational saying,"A man who cannot live without five cauldrons will be cooked with five cauldrons!" ]

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 the famous family of Zhongming Dingshi, is no stranger to cooking food with cauldrons, but what Cao Cao said about hot pot made Chen Deng a little puzzled.

���The soup cooked in the cauldron is different from ordinary soup.

There is some fiery red fruit floating in it, and even the soup looks very red.

A spicy smell came to my face...

Although I didn't know what it was, I saw Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu using chopsticks to put various cut dishes on the table into the pot. Deng also moves his index finger.

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

Chen Deng was particularly fond of eating fish, which is sashimi. Therefore, in the original history, Chen Deng also suffered from parasitic disease and died early in middle age because of eating too much sashimi...

Chen Deng saw Cao Cao and the others greeting him. After that, I just took down my chopsticks, sweating and laughing while eating.

He simply suppressed all the doubts in his heart and followed suit, rinsing his favorite dish in the pot. When it was almost cooked, he put it into his mouth 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 after 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 doesn't have to be polite. The first time we ate this hot pot, we were just like Yuanlong.

Knowing that Yuanlong loves food, he met Yuanlong here and treated him with hotpot."

Chen Deng said Only then did I feel 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?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao smiled even more proudly:"That red thing is called Chili pepper is an ancient relic accidentally discovered in the wild when my son Xiu was working in the field in Ruyang.

Zixiu discovered that it can be used for cooking, stir-frying it with dogwood, pepper, butter, etc., and adding seasonings. It is used to make soup and vegetables, and it is very delicious.

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

Zixiu was sent from Ruyang a few days ago.

By the way, Zixiu should be here now. The country of Chen is here."

As Cao Cao introduced chili and hot pot, he did not forget to mention at the end that his eldest son is now in the country of Chen.

In fact, it is to boast about Cao Ang's three arrows to defeat the Chen Kingdom, and Chen Guo's army and civilians took the initiative to recognize the leader...

As for the chili peppers and hot pot, it was when Cao Ang drew the blind box. Sometimes the bronze prize would contain a pound of chili seeds, and the system The chili seeds are dried chili peppers with seeds.

Therefore, in addition to farming, Cao Ang also used a lot of it to make hot pot dishes to improve the taste.

Of course, Cao Ang, in addition to enjoying himself, Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Xu Chu and others, also did not forget the old Cao from Xu Du, who sent a lot, as well as how to make hot pot.

In the past few days, Cao Cao, Guo Jiacheng, Yu and others had eaten this stuff for several days in a row.

Even the prudent Xun Yu had eaten so many times that he got angry and couldn't sit down to read the memorial. He simply asked for leave today and couldn't come...

Opposite Cao Cao, Chen���Hearing Cao Cao's words like chili, hot pot, butter, etc., his expression changed every moment!

Chili peppers are such a delicious thing. Although they are spicy, they can promote body fluids and sweating, which is better than many expensive medicines. How come no one has discovered it before?

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

I admire Cao Ang for finding such relics in the mountains when he went to farm in Ruyang.

As for the way to eat hot pot with chili pepper, Chen Deng, a gourmet, was extremely impressed.

What kind of clever 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, Chen Deng only admired Cao Ang's other talents.

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

But regarding the fact that Cao Ang discovered chili peppers and invented hot pot, Chen Deng, a gourmet foodie, was impressed from the bottom of his heart! etc!

Chen Deng was shocked and suddenly realized that Cao Cao mentioned butter just now!

This made Chen Deng's face darken instantly:"I've heard for a long time that Sikong values farming and mulberry farming, and is a virtuous man. How come he slaughters cattle and uses butter for cooking just for the sake of food!

Now is the time for spring plowing. , How much manpower can a plowing ox replace, and how many acres of land can it plow!"

Seeing Chen Deng being so serious, he even seemed to be angry with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was not angry.

I was even pleased that Chen Deng valued farming and dared to violate Yan Zhijian.

Such talented, resourceful and morally principled people are worthy of admiration and reuse!

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

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

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

A strong cow can go up. There are dozens of young men!"

Cheng Yu smiled and continued:"Then if there is a tool that can double or even multiple times increase the efficiency of plowing, so that the field that originally required ten cows can be plowed in the same time. Five oxen or even three or two can complete the plowing.

So are oxen so 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 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 dragons and phoenixes, 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!".
