Chapter 44: Beauty in the world, beauty in the wine shop
After eating a plate of fried locusts, Cao Cao and Cao Ren were still a little greedy...
Yi Xiaotian quickly ordered the cook to cook and fry some more.
In addition, Cao Cao also asked Yi Xiaotian for some tips on cooking locusts, such as steaming and frying. In the eyes of later generations, these extremely simple techniques were regarded as ground-breaking inventions in ancient times!
"Hahaha…"
After understanding this, Cao Cao laughed with great sadness. "I didn't expect that Brother Yi is also a gourmet!"
After saying this, Cao Cao moved his head closer to Yi Xiaotian.
"Brother Yi has given me another great gift this time! Today, Cao Cao is eager for food. I didn't expect that this problem that has been troubling Cao's army for a long time can be solved with a few clicks by Brother Yi."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao seemed unable to conceal his excitement and asked repeatedly, "Brother Yi, you not only saved Cao Cao this time, but also saved my business in Puyang City. I owe you a huge favor!"
"It's just a little effort. Hiding brother, who of us is following whom? How can we be so unkind!" Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and became more humble...
In fact, for him, it was really a piece of cake, and Yi Xiaotian never thought about helping Cao Cao solve any food problems.
Fried locusts are just a way for the wine shop to cook a few more dishes in this disaster year and keep business as usual.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the wine shop’s business be completely in decline?
Of course, Yi Xiaotian would not clarify this relationship.
"Favors are favors!" Cao Cao became serious. "If Brother Yi needs anything in the future, just ask me. Cao...ah no, as long as I can help, I will definitely go to heaven and earth to give to Brother Yi."
Ask for it!"
Well...this is a big favor!
When Cao Cao said this, Yi Xiaotian really thought of something.
"Brother Hao, when you said that, I really thought of something and wanted to ask Brother Hao for help."
"Brother Yi, it's okay to say it!" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"Now Cao Cao and Lu Bu are fighting in Puyang City. Brother Ba, do you know that there are two beauties in the world beside Lu Bu!" Yi Xiaotian sighed, seeming a little embarrassed, but finally spoke.
A beauty in the world? Or two?
Cao Cao thought slightly.
In my impression... there is a beauty called Diao Chan beside Lu Bu, who can be called a beauty in the world.
When Cao Cao borrowed the seven-star sword from Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he saw it and was obsessed with it.
But? Apart from Diao Chan? Are there any beauties around Lu Bu? Are there any beauties who can be called beauties in the world?
"Brother Yi? I only know that there is Diao Chan beside Lu Bu, who is very good at singing and dancing..." Cao Cao then asked. "I don't know, but there is another beauty in the world? She is a strange woman!"
"Lu Bu's eldest daughter Lu Qiling." Yi Xiaotian read out her name calmly. "I heard that Lu Bu's eldest daughter is only twenty-eight years old. She has a resolute personality and extremely beautiful appearance. In terms of beauty, she is probably second only to her younger sister Diao Chan.
!”
Yi Xiaotian did not hesitate to praise Lu Qiling...
After hearing this, Cao Cao finally understood that we are all men, he understands... everyone has the love for beauty!
"Brother Yi wants to..."
Cao Cao was halfway through speaking, but Yi Xiaotian spoke first.
"Brother, to tell you the truth, this place in the mountains and fields is actually quite boring. I have always had the idea to set up a stage and find a group of young men with good sex and art, and set up a mountain villa wine shop among the green mountains and green waters.
Singing and dancing, playing and singing, cultivating one's sentiments, isn't it beautiful to live like this?"
"Well...I see." Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, thoughtfully. "It seems that Diao Chan and Lu Qiling are the only Qingguer candidates who can catch Brother Yi's eye!"
"That's right!"
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and didn't hide it.
"Diao Chan is known to be good at singing and dancing. I think Lu Lingqi also learned some dancing skills from her side. If you can invite these two beauties to a wine shop, have nothing to do, listen to the music they play, and taste them.
Dancing songs and dances, this kind of life is wonderful, wonderful!"
As soon as Yi Xiaotian blurted out his words...
call…
Cao Cao took a deep breath.
When Yi Xiaotian said this, he had an impulse to give up his royal power and indulge in the mountains and rivers, listen to the beautiful woman's music, and enjoy the beautiful woman's singing and dancing. This kind of life is really beautiful!
But…
In just a moment, Cao Cao shook his head violently. The position of kingly hegemony was still too important in his mind.
As for women, haha, he prefers women who are strong opponents. The sense of conquest that comes after conquering the opponent and then playing with his woman wantonly is what Cao Cao pursues throughout his life...
Of course, since Brother Yi asked for these two women from Lu Bu, Cao Cao would definitely capture them and give them to Brother Yi!
Cao Cao knew in his heart that if he wanted to achieve his hegemony, he could not do without Yi Xiaotian's advice.
Because the tragedy of a woman being separated from her brothers and comrades would not happen to Cao Cao! Cao Cao was a good wife, but he cared more about meritorious people.
"Brother Yi, this matter is all mine!" Cao Cao stood up suddenly, patted his chest, and assured Yi Xiaotian. "Brother Yi has helped me so much, Diao Chan, I will handle Lu Lingqi's affairs.
A wine shop should indeed have more stages! This way, Brother Yi and I can have a more romantic wine tasting..."
A burst of sad laughter...
Cao Cao made up his mind...
"Then it's my fault, brother!" Yi Xiaotian bowed his hands in gratitude.
Hiss...wait.
Cao Cao suddenly thought of something.
If Lu Lingqi wants to capture Diao Chan, it seems that her top priority must be to defeat Lu Bu first, right? Now, although the food and grass problem has been solved,... if she really wants to defeat Lu Bu, she still has to face many difficulties!
Isn’t this the reason why I came to a wine shop this time?
Thoughts on this…
Cao Cao's face darkened and he immediately asked a question. "Brother Yi? Now under Puyang City, the two forces of Cao Cao and Lu Bu are at war with each other? Can you tell me about it? Who will win in the end?"
At this point, Cao Cao did not forget to remind him, "This is not only related to the situation in Yanzhou, but also related to the development of my business, and even more related to the beauty in Brother Yi's wine shop!"
Well?
Yi Xiaotian's expression paused, and then he glanced out the window, seeming to be looking into the distance.
Only ten breaths passed before Yi Xiaotian spoke.
"Brother Hide, whether Lu Bu can win! Doesn't it depend on you?"
"Me? A merchant?" Cao Cao was stunned...
"That's right." Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "Now that Yanzhou is suffering from a locust plague, it is not only Cao Cao who is in need of food. Lu Bu in Puyang City is also short of food. Cao Cao is anxious, and Lu Bu is even more anxious. Now both sides are in a hurry.
If we want a quick victory... dragging it out will be detrimental to both sides!"
"But, the news that locusts are edible is now in the hands of Brother Hi. If Brother Hi tells Cao Cao, then Lu Bu will lose! And if Brother Hi supports Lu Bu, then Cao Cao will lose! So I say, Lu Bu and Cao Cao
Who wins or loses, who wins, isn't it all in Brother Hao's hands?"
Huo...that's it.
Cao Cao reacted immediately. Before that, he had been in a hurry for his own food and grass, worrying day and night...
However, on the other hand, Puyang City was also in short supply of food and grass.
It's like a siege. People outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out... But no one knows that there is no food inside or outside!
At this kind of stall, the news that locusts can be cooked is enough to affect the morale of the three armies, and it is also enough to fill the bellies of the three armies!
If they are exhausted and I am exhausted, we can win in one battle!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes "swish" released a flash of light...
Because Yi Xiaotian's words deepened his determination and fighting spirit to defeat Lu Bu.
In the battle of Puyang, the final winner must be Cao Cao.
Of course, there are still two problems... two problems that must be solved in this battle.
——Lu Bu’s unparalleled martial arts, who can match it?
——The secret support of the Tian family, the richest man in Puyang? Is it trustworthy?
