Chapter 450: But seeking a teacher will bring fame
"Uh...uh...huh?"
After swallowing it with a slurp, the tender pork was stirred in the mouth, and with the lubrication and freshness of the salty and sweet sauce, a sublimation that had never been experienced before exploded in the mouths of the two of them.
In a daze, Xun You and Xi Zhicai seemed to see immortals dancing wildly in front of their eyes. The feeling of freedom instantly washed away the tension in their hearts for several days.
"This...this...this!"
"Sikong! What...what kind of meat is this? How can it be so delicious!"
When Xi Zhicai spoke, he had just swallowed the meat in his mouth, but his saliva still kept flowing out.
This appearance made all the generals present laugh out loud, and Cao Cao was also extremely happy.
"Pork, pigs raised on a pig farm."
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to the two of them.
"Zhicai, Gongda, you are really working too hard. The pork from this pig farm has been coming to Yecheng for a month, but you haven't even tasted it?"
Cao Cao sighed. He seemed to have never seen the two of them these days. He thought they could understand what he meant. Looking at the thin and melancholy appearance of the two, Cao Cao also felt a little distressed.
"Hey, I was negligent. You two don't think I'm so busy just for business, right?"
At the right time, Jia Xu whispered to the two of them from the side, and the dull eyes of Xi Zhicai and Xun You finally had a twinkling light.
"It's not Sikong's fault, it's not Sikong's fault! It's just that we are too short-sighted. Wen He told us, can this pig farm really provide us with enough pork during the war?"
Once a person forms an idea, it is very difficult to get rid of it.
For Xun You and Xi Zhicai, eating is not something they value much.
In addition, I did taste extremely unpleasant pork when I was young. It is hard to imagine that someone could improve this kind of pork to the taste it has today through a series of operations.
Not only that.
"Zhicai, Gongda, do you know how much the most common pig in a pig farm weighs on the day it is slaughtered?"
"this…"
The two people had wrinkled faces. This is a question for them. If they are not farmers, who knows this number?
Cao Cao looked at the two people writhing and recalled his surprise when he first saw those big fat pigs.
"Let me tell you this, an ordinary farmer's domestic pig, raised for a year or two, weighs 200 or 300 pounds by the time it is slaughtered."
"A pig from a pig farm that is put out in June or June weighs at least 700 kilograms, and there are not many that weigh more than a thousand kilograms."
"What!!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Xi Zhicai was already weak, and when he was startled, he felt that his small body might die at any time.
Xun You's eyes widened, his chin kept shaking, and he muttered:
Those who are meant to be strategists and counselors, but if they no longer understand the truth, they might as well retire.
"If these pigs were made into jerky, how much would it cost with this taste? Is this pork so expensive?"
"A pig only costs five thousand dollars."
"Five thousand?"
It’s too cheap. The best pork before was only five thousand dollars a head. This kind of taste is so good that it’s the same price as the best pork?
No, this is not affordable!
"Haha, military advisor, it's no problem for this pig to hold up five pigs!"
Xu Huang patted his full belly and shouted with some comfort.
When Xun You heard the price, his head felt a little dizzy, which is commonly known as numbness. His hair and feet were numb. For a while, he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion. He always thought he was dreaming.
"Sikong! Jingzhou...Jingzhou is done, Jingzhou will definitely be done!"
But soon, he started dancing.
Xun You laughed, Xi Zhicai also laughed, followed by Jia Xu, and everyone laughed.
There was a sparkle in Cao Cao's eyes. He looked at the civil and military affairs and felt happy, and he had a bigger idea in his heart.
——
Not long after, Cao Cao spoke to the people next to him.
Of course, these people are Jia Wen and Jia Xu.
"Wen He, I heard something recently, something interesting, and I wanted to tell you about it."
"Sikong, please speak."
The activities at Jubinlou lasted until evening.
Naturally, Cao Cao would not stay in that restaurant for a whole day, and returned to his house around noon.
The generals also dispersed, leaving only Jia Xu beside Cao Cao.
Jia Xu had no doubts, knowing that Cao Cao was in a good mood today, so he responded with a smile.
"I heard that there are barbarians in the west and south of Jingzhou who like to ride on elephants. They pay tribute to the Sun family in Nanjun. There is such a saying about tribute elephants. It seems that such stupid things can listen to music and dance. It is really curious.
"
Cao Cao spoke casually, but Jia Xu listened carefully.
"Riding on an elephant, is there such a new thing? If it's dancing, it's even more unheard of. Please excuse me for being ignorant."
"It's just an anecdote."
"but…"
Cao Cao waved his hand, as if it was really an unintentional move, but Jia Xu kept standing there without raising his head, as if waiting for Cao Cao's next words.
Cao Cao took two steps, then stood still and turned his head, looking southward outside the corridor.
There are the pavilions of Sikong Mansion there. Of course, if it is further away, there should be Xudu - the place where Cao Cao started his career.
"This stupid thing seems to be only found in the south. Is there anything like it in the north?"
"Go back to Sikong, there is no elephant in the north."
Jia Xu bowed his head again and again, showing great respect.
"What should I do if I want to see that elephant?"
"Of course there is a way."
Jia Xu straightened up and smiled. The two looked at each other and already understood what the other meant.
For Jia Xu, he actually felt that this matter was just smooth sailing.
All that is missing is an opportunity, such as Jingzhou.
The Sikong Mansion will discuss matters again.
This time there was no tension like last time.
Because everyone knows that if we march south to Jingzhou this time, the big problem of food and grass will have been solved.
There is a pig farm that suddenly became popular throughout the north - in fact, Yi Xiaotian had been plotting and preparing for this matter at Youjian Villa a long time ago. In this month, he just made the matter clear.
The sudden supply of large amounts of pork gave the military officers and civilian officials no worries.
"Sikong, let's fight."
"Sikong, let's fight!"
Petitions came out from everyone's mouths one after another, causing Cao Cao in the middle to slowly nod his head.
At the right time, Jia Xu's voice jumped out from the banquet.
"It's time to fight, but... we seem to be missing an important thing now."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jia Xu. Looking at his scheming look, no one guessed the meaning of his words.
"Wen He, what do you mean? We need good soldiers now, we have good soldiers, we need good generals, we have good generals, we don't have to worry about food and grass, and now it's spring again——"
Le Jin slapped the table, thinking that Jia Xu was going to interfere again and prevent them from fighting, but he didn't know that Jia Xu said immediately:
"We lack a name——"
"The teacher is famous!"
Four words, so decisive that many people were stunned.
