Facing Cao Cao's sudden gift, everyone looked at each other in shock. What does this mean?
Conquering the West! It has always been Cao Cao's dream. He had made meritorious service in defeating thieves for the country. He wanted to be named a marquis as the general who conquered the west. Then he inscribed on his tomb the words "The tomb of Cao Hou, the former general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west." This was his ambition.
Seeing that there was such a large territory to the west of the Protectorate, Cao Cao's eager heart became agitated again.
"Meng De's ambition is respectable and lamentable. I hope that the court will discuss this matter after the situation is stable."
The three great gods headed by Huangfu Song knew what Cao Cao's ambition meant.
Since Emperor Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, there have been countless heroes who conquered the West, and none of them is proud of an era.
But the most fascinating one is Hou Huo Qubing, the first generation champion in the Hanwu era!
Feng Langjuxu also became the supreme honor of military commanders in the Western Han Dynasty for hundreds of years!
As for Jia Fu, he was named the Champion Marquis during the Guangwu era and ranked third among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. However, his military exploits were not comparable to those of Huo Qubing and Dou Xian, not to mention that he was known as the "position"
The light radiated by Liu Xiu, the "Son of Faces", no matter how great your achievements are, can't be compared to me, Xiu'er, who summoned meteorites with one hand. Later, he was changed to the Marquis of Jiaodong by Emperor Guangwu.
Although Dou Xian also successfully sealed the wolf as Xu, his ending was not good. He shocked the court, was arrogant and domineering, conspired to usurp the throne, and was eventually sentenced to death.
What a pity! No one in the current imperial court can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Western Expedition. There was a rebellion in Longxi, and the Xiongnu and Qiang people joined forces with Han Sui and others to separate themselves. Let alone the Western Expedition! Even to pacify them, it would take a lot of effort.
Cao Cao has all kinds of ambitions, but in the end it is all empty talk if his logistics cannot keep up.
Moreover, conquering the west also means putting life and death aside. Cao Cao's words clearly meant that he wanted to entrust Cao Ang to everyone.
Cao Cao looked at Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun's melancholy expression, and suddenly there was an idea in his heart that he wanted to control the overall situation.
"Imperial jade seal!"
This is what enables me to realize Cao Mengde’s dream!
"My lords, you have come at the right time today. Today is the day when the wine cellar is opened."
Seeing that everyone was dejected by Cao Cao's confession, Cao Ang quickly changed the subject.
"I've heard Gong Ming say it several times, but I've never seen it before. Let's go! Lead the way and go have a look."
Huangfu Song waved his hand, and everyone quickly followed. Cao Cao looked at the location where the jade seal was buried without leaving any trace, shook his head with a smile, and turned around to follow the large army.
The big pot sent by Xu Huang finally came in handy. Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi each swallowed a mouthful of saliva as they looked at the iron pot that was bigger than a person...
"Using this thing to make wine? How long will it take to drink..."
As Fu Qian lit the firewood, the wine previously stored in the workshop was brought out one by one by Xu Huang and Wen Chou with their red faces under Cao Ang's command.
Cao Ang curiously took a sip after buying the wine. His livid face and vomiting movements made Xu Huang puzzled. Why did Cao Ang look like he had drunk urine when such a delicious wine entered his mouth?
This time Cao Ang changed the traditional method and did not cook it with wheat!
Pour the wine directly into the cauldron and combine it with the koji to distill a high-altitude white wine!
According to the ratio of 1 to 0.7, jar after jar of wine was poured into the cauldron. Cao Cao and the others wanted to reach out to stop them in pain, but when they thought of the miracle created by this little guy, they had to stop and looked at the big pot in pain.
The pot was slowly filled.
Cao Ang opened the steamer and controlled the heat to a rolling state. Above the pot was an inverted funnel-shaped tube, and the tube was connected to a small porcelain basin...
Surround the steamer with cloth strips to avoid any loss of steam. With the white steam emitted from the cloth strips, the domestic steam slowly rises and enters the tube.
Drop after drop of transparent liquid slowly dripped into the porcelain basin.
Cao Ang lay on the porcelain basin and smelled it, "Tsk, tsk...it seems a bit harsh?"
He rolled his eyes and scooped up a small portion of the cup with a small porcelain cup. Cao Ang would never be the first guinea pig anyway.
Such an arduous task! Only Wen Chou can do it!
"Wen Chou! Witness the first glass of strong liquor in the Han Dynasty! Drink it and you will create history!"
Cao Ang's speech was so impassioned that Wen Chou was filled with enthusiasm!
The first person! The first person in the entire Han Dynasty!
Under this glorious name, Wen Chou straightened his chest and took a long stride to come to Cao Ang.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Chou seemed to be addicted.
"fragrant!"
Everyone looked at the small cup in Wen Chou's hand and couldn't help but lick their tongues, actually!
This is the first person, they also want to try it!
Wen Chou looked at the envious expressions of everyone, raised his glass, saluted from afar, and drank it all in one gulp!
Time seemed to have paused. Wen Chou turned on the pause button and stopped breathing. His dark face quickly changed color at a speed visible to the naked eye! In less than five seconds, the whole braised egg turned red.
…
"Gulu..." Wen Chou swallowed, but he still seemed to be paused.
"call……"
Finally, after nearly half a minute, Wen Chou let out a long breath. As if he thought of something, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
But the air sprayed from Wen Chou's mouth made everyone smell the strong smell of alcohol. A pair of eyes full of expectation looked at Wen Chou, waiting for him to say something.
"Good! Spicy! Fragrant! Vibrant..."
Wen Chou covered his mouth with both hands, fearing that the taste would escape from his mouth. After saying five words, he sat down on the ground, his eyes blurred...
"Go get me a drink and try it!"
Before anyone else could say anything, Huangfu Song stood in front of the crowd and stood in front of everyone. The title of No. 1 in the world has been taken away by that fool. No matter what, it is my turn to be No. 2 in the world, right?
Fu Qian carefully looked at Wen Chou. The guy was still sitting on the ground covering his mouth, but his eyes turned into the shape of a crescent moon, which proved that the wine was not poisonous and could be drunk.
Cao Ang frowned and looked at Wen Chou, "Is it so exaggerated? You did it in one bite? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big reaction, right?"
Fu Qian took the small porcelain cup from Wen Chou's hand, turned around and came to the porcelain basin, and was about to scoop a cup for Huangfu Song to taste.
"I... times... oh... stop..."
Cao Ang's surprised voice came from behind...
I saw Wen Chou struggling to stand up, "Hey hey hey... good wine! Good wine! Ask me to have another drink..."
The whole person was already in a drunken state, and his speech was not very clear anymore. The key was that his body was staggering and he was walking towards Fu Qian.
Fu Qian was already scared to death. When everyone saw that Wen Chou was acting like an idiot, they quickly stood in front of Fu Qian, just as everyone had just protected Fu Qian.
"Plop..." a sound.
Wen Chou seemed to have been drugged, and fell to the ground unconscious!
"This... Ang'er! This wine of yours! Could it be poison?"
The cold sweat on Cao Cao's head was already visible to the naked eye. Not only Cao Cao, but also other people's faces looked as if they had been washed. They looked at Wen Chou lying on the ground and looked at the drops of water dripping from the big steamer.
Porcelain basin.
They couldn't help but swallow their saliva...
"That's right! The first wine that comes out of the steam seems to be the head, so you have to drink it with it..."
Cao Ang slapped him on the head. This kind of mistake was so frustrating.
"It's okay! I can't die, I just fainted from drinking!"
Cao Ang saw everyone's reaction and quickly explained, but he bypassed the crowd, took the small porcelain cup from Fu Gan's hand, scooped out a little bit and poured it directly into the water glass.
"Wen Chou, come and try this drink again. You are the first person in the Han Dynasty who tasted both the first wine and the low-alcohol wine...!"
Cao Ang embarrassedly put the water cup to Wen Chou's mouth. The so-called failure is the mother of success. If you try a few more times, the success rate will be higher...
"Hey Hey……"
Wen Chou, who was helped up, slept soundly, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth and a silly smile...
