When Chen Xi came back, Liu Bei had already poured the vegetables in the clay pot into a bowl. The simple stewed radish with bacon may not be as fragrant as Chen Xi's house, but Liu Bei was comfortable.

"Stewed with radish with bacon." Chen Xi looked at the soft and glutinous radish that absorbed the aroma of meat and couldn't help but smiled sincerely.

"Try it." Liu Bei handed Chen Xi the chopsticks beside him, and there was no concept of sharing them. Ordinary families do not have so many things to pay attention to. A bowl of meat and vegetables is rare.

Chen Xi picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of radish. She couldn't compare to her own cook's works, but Chen Xi rarely smiled when she ate it.

"It's done very well." Chen Xi didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding and cursed.

"You guy!" Liu Bei raised his chopsticks and paused, looked at Chen Xi's soft smile, which was ashamed, and he also laughed.

"The prosperous age or something really depends on the food in the bowl." Chen Xi added another piece of bacon, which had a strong salty taste. Even after stewing, you could taste that taste. If Chen Xi was at Chen Xi's house, Chen Xi could find the chef and let Chen Ying educate him well.

"It's delicious." Liu Bei picked up a piece of radish, broke a piece of steamed bun from the side and ate it. It tasted strong and had to eat steamed buns to blend it. But even so, Liu Bei was still very happy.

"To be honest, if this was at my house, I could catch the cook and let her copy the book." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Are you ashamed?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.

"I felt a little ashamed when I first met, but I felt at ease when I ate it. It was just that the taste was too heavy. It was because I had blown up the salt price?" Chen Xi looked thoughtful.

Since salt drying has become the mainstream, state-owned salt farms have become the main force. The families that once mainly sell salt basically no longer involve the salt industry. After all, compared with the profits of selling salt, they might as well invest in something else, such as the low-key logistics industry.

Of course, some guys are still selling salt, but rather than selling salt, they are buying brands, fine salt, snowflake salt and other non-mainstream salt that uses IQ tax as a means of making money, mainly to those rich and wealthy families.

Well, non-mainstream salt that uses IQ tax as a means of making money is produced by a special small factory under Chen Xi's name. By the way, this small factory also relies on boiling kelp to make some things close to MSG, and then mix them together to collect IQ tax everywhere in the name of snowflake salt.

There is no way, the umami flavor of MSG was simply fatal to the ancients, so Chen Xi used snowflake salt to collect IQ taxes very quickly. Of course, a large part of this is that Chen Xi himself did not eat much of the salt sold by Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping on the market, because the salt sold by these guys did not go through the last step.

However, it is undeniable that even without going through the last procedure, the salt bought by these guys was eight streets better than the green salt of the Tang Dynasty in later generations.

You should know that at this time, many ordinary people brushed stones with salt in the pot a few times and used them as salt. The salt of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping is still the most top-notch goods, and it is sold very cheaply. The people think this is benevolent politics.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping also ate this kind of salt. In the early days, except for Chen Xi who would remember to deal with it, major families also ate this thing, so there is nothing to say.

However, after Chen Xi had the magic weapon, he could use it to collect IQ tax. Although he only added a few crafts, the price was instantly multiplied by five. After adding something almost MSG into it, the price was more than three, which was perfect.

Nowadays, most aristocratic families eat salt with IQ tax. Of course, there are also some stubborn guys who are determined not to eat high-priced salt. However, they are free to buy and sell. If you don’t eat it, you won’t eat it. Chen Xi is not a devil.

Besides, Chen Xi always felt that he was very conscientious. You should know that more than ten years ago, the price of one stone of salt reached 8,000 yuan, and the quality of the salt sold could not be raised at all. Now he added 90% of the IQ tax to only 2,000 yuan, which is not very high!

"..." Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi, "Zichuan, your perspective on the problem is really strange. People can afford salt and meat..."

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Chen Xi said with a solemn look on his face, "Isn't that because I've made the price of these things a hit?"

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

"After eating, I feel much calmer." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Are there any tablets and incense? I'll go and light it."

"There are only a few tablets." Liu Bei pointed to the tablets placed in the small living room next to him, and then threw the flint to Chen Xi. He could see that Chen Xi was in a much better mood. Although he still had the intention of confronting him, his mentality recovered.

Chen Xi took the flint and lit the oil lamp, but no candles were used. Candles are still precious items now. Although Chen Xi roughly knows what items to use to make candles, the raw materials are not in place now, so candles are still very precious things.

"Your tablet is wrong with Duke Xuande." Chen Xi said while igniting the fire.

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

"It's missing Han Mou and me." Chen Xi turned his head, half of his face looked extremely dim in the afternoon twilight, while the other half reflected the dim yellow under the light of the oil lamp. Snowflakes fell outside the window at some point. If this moment was a supernatural story, the signs would have been clear.

"You can do it, just worship Han Mou." Liu Bei laughed and scolded when he heard this. He also knew very well that many people worship cookies and Chen Xi on the Central Plains during the New Year. At most, the statues of cookies are mostly human-shaped, while Chen Xi's image is mostly pure white nine-tailed fox, or dragon-headed nine-tailed fox.

There are so many people who pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year. After all, agriculture is too important in this era.

"It's better to begging for yourself than asking God." Chen Xi replied with a smile, "I can protect many children and grandchildren."

Liu Bei laughed. In fact, as long as the Chinese gods are in full bloom, they will have the clergy of many children and grandchildren. There is no way, the inheritance of descendants and bloodlines, which may be more important to the people of this country than their own lives.

"Mrs. Cai is asking for marriage and offspring in your temple, right?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"You said this." Chen Xi was very troubled. He didn't know what to say. As soon as he said that it was better to seek God than to seek God, Liu Bei gave a critical blow.

"Okay, let's not kidding, just burn incense and pray for blessings." Liu Bei did not intend to discuss in depth on this issue. The two big men discussing this issue sooner or later, and there are no women here.

Chen Xi didn't say much, lit the incense and did not ask for anything. If the immortals and gods could realize their wishes, then how could the three animals and six animals bring peace and good weather in the world. The so-called sacrifices to the gods and the so-called prayers are probably more like human greed, assuming that there is really a god.

Therefore, what Chen Xi pursued is that it is better to seek oneself than to seek God. Instead of using three animals and six animals as sacrifices to worship the gods and proclaiming his own greed in the form of prayer, it is not as good as writing down his own greed and completing it with his own hands. The former is greed, while the latter is practiced, which is completely different concepts.

"It's your appearance that you didn't make a wish." Liu Bei greeted Chen Xi.

"No need, I'll handle my own affairs by myself. It's better to begging for God than asking God." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It's another heavy snow. I don't know how those people abroad are."

"I thought it was probably all okay." Liu Bei mentioned the warm wine on the side and poured a glass of Chen Xi and himself and said with a smile, "No need to say more about Cao Mengde, that is a hero who can live like a human being anywhere. Long, the second and third disciples of the Ganges, have gained a great advantage. There is no need to worry at all. As for the Yuan family, there is no need to worry. Sun Bofu, the only worry-free one, isn't there still Gongjin to take care of?"

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

The combat power of a 2-ha is at most apart from the house, and two 2-ha is very troublesome. What's more, one 2-ha is not owned and raised by others, which is even more troublesome.

"It's not that, I still know Xingba's character." Liu Bei waved his hand and said. He still knew Gan Ning very well. Although he was a little more cheerful, Gan Ning's intelligence and courage were very good. Even Liu Bei thought that Gan Ning was a wise general who could stand alone.

"Haha." Chen Xi pulled his mouth and said nothing. The IQ of a creature like Erha is actually very high, but a high enough IQ does not affect the side of the second product.

In fact, when Chen Xi was nonsense, Zhou Yu was already furious. Gan Ning and Sun Ce two bastards with similar stinky tastes were successfully combined. Two big men with the same adventurous spirit gave Kushan a big gift during the Chinese New Year. A large-scale riot occurred directly on Sumatra Island, and the two of them took advantage of the chaos to sweep away a group of Kushan people.

Zhou Yu didn't mind attacking the Kushan Navy, let alone a sneak attack that won a great victory. However, the two lawless and nonsense things made Zhou Yu very angry.

"I have tried very hard to explain. Look, Kenmail is very sure that the Kushan navy over there has had great conflicts and conflicts with the people of Ye Diaoguo. Then we went, and then I climbed the high ground and shouted, and they turned against each other." Sun Ce knelt on the seat with an innocent expression, explaining his previous big moves.
