Guo Jia's solution was the same as Cao Chong's idea. First find a large ship, put the elephant on it, then record the waterline, then drive the elephant down, then replace it with other smaller heavy objects until the ship descends to the previous waterline.

At this time, you can slowly weigh the weight and you can understand its weight without killing the elephant.

I haven't tried it in fact, but it works theoretically. Cao Cao was immediately excited, and the other civil servants also showed joyful expressions. Everyone knew exactly what this puzzle meant!

"Wuyou, how are you preparing tofu?" Cao Cao immediately looked at Wang Yong.

"The preparation has started! It will be completed in two quarters of an hour!" Wang Yong immediately returned to the beans that had been soaked last night and started making tofu this morning.

"Okay, everyone, prepare, I want to leave those gentry speechless!" Cao Cao was immediately full of energy and shouted.

"Yes!" Everyone responded, and everyone knew how depressed Cao Cao was because of the difficulties made by the gentry during this period. Now he saw that he could make the other party have nothing to say, and he was extremely excited.

"The meeting location is placed in the store. Wuyou prepare for it. Don't do business for the time being. I'll book it here for the time being!" Cao Cao looked directly at Wang Yong. Strictly speaking, Wang Yong is not the chef of the yamen now, so he can continue to do business.

According to the agreement, Wang Yonghui will only officially receive the appointment of the state chef after taking the Intermediate Chef Examination next year and obtaining the Intermediate Chef. Even if he has fulfilled some chef duties now, he is not considered a subordinate of Cao Cao, and some things need to be paid attention to.

"Okay!" Wang Yong nodded. At this time, it was a bit late to prepare lunch...

Half an hour later, Cao Cao brought a group of gentry to a restaurant. As expected, the leaders were basically women, the difference was that most of them looked like women in their forties, and two women in their fifties and sixties.

According to the situation in this world, their age should be over 100 years old, or even around 180 years old. As expected, if they can become heads of their families, if their resumes and experiences cannot be improved, how can they take on this important task?

"Is Governor Cao so down?" The middle-aged woman in the lead should be strictly speaking, a 180-year-old woman who entered the shop, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and said with a disgusting expression.

"It's not easy to start a business, it's not too extravagant! The restaurant is simple, but the owner's cooking skills are good!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"There is a restaurant, and there are indeed many similar rumors at home recently..." The woman in charge frowned slightly.

This is the East District, not only are the dignitaries and nobles here, but many families of aristocratic families also live here. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao summon them so quickly in thirty minutes?!

"Then!" The woman in the lead looked at Cao Cao, "My words have solved our two problems. Let's not talk about the second one. The first problem is that dish. I wonder what dish you plan to serve?!"

"Wuyou!" Cao Cao smiled and then shouted.

"Wait!" Wang Yong replied, and returned to the kitchen and prepared quickly. The tofu was made perfectly. He cut it into pieces with a knife, then put it into a dish, added chopped green onion, sesame oil, etc., and plates of shallots mixed with tofu, and were taken out one after another.

"Oh, what is this?" When I saw a group of women from aristocratic families who were the first tofu, I was amazed at the fairness of the ingredients.

"Is this tofu?" It was the first time Cao Cao saw soybean tofu, which looked much more comfortable than black tofu.

"Yes, tofu made from soybeans, this dish is called scallion mixed with tofu. Please taste it!" Wang Yong said with a smile.

"Then!" Cao Cao nodded and then looked at everyone, "What you need is not sour, spicy, smelly, or bitter, not poultry, not made of eggs, not made of grains, not roasted or stewed dishes, please taste it!"

"Is this a cold dish?" The woman in the lead picked up the spoon and had to say that the Qing Erbai looked quite likable. But she knew more that if Cao Cao really made such a dish, their first problem would be solved.

However, since Cao Cao dared to call them over, he naturally had confidence to solve both problems.

"As a matter of fact, we can't underestimate the people of the world!" The woman picked up the spoon, took a bite, put it under her nose and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance of tofu and the fragrance of chopped green onions came to her face. The juice became a bridge, combining the two flavors together.

"It's a fragrance, I don't know how it tastes..." The woman nodded and took a small bite, but felt that it was not sour, bitter, spicy, or smelly, and could not taste the taste of grains and eggs. It was indeed magical. Looking back, the chef seemed to say that this was made of soybeans. If you feel it again, it really smelled like soybeans.

"I didn't expect it was beans..." The woman shook her head. Eating too much beans would swell, so she wouldn't eat in large quantities. From the beginning, she was sent to the threat range. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be it that it solved its own problem.

No, what I really should admire is the chef who made the tofu. The woman looked at Wang Yong. It was this man who made the food like tofu. She was quite curious about how soybeans made this tofu.

"Speaking of this, this tofu is really magical!" Xun Yu suddenly said, "I seemed to have eaten a lot last night, but I didn't expect that there was no bloating at all."

"Indeed!" Dian Wei nodded. She had the most say. After all, she was the one who ate the most.

"Originally, tofu was developed to avoid bloating. If you eat this, you don't have to worry about bloating." Wang Yong replied with a smile.

"Oh?" the woman was shocked when she heard this, "I actually solved all the biggest problems of Douzi?!"

"If this is impossible, I will not hire him as the chef!" Cao Cao smiled faintly, "Then, I wonder if the first question is solved?"

"Sir, I'm convinced!" The woman replied slowly, saying that Cao Cao was lucky and happened to meet Wang Yong who could make tofu, otherwise this problem would be impossible to solve.

"So, let's solve the second problem!" Cao Cao smiled faintly, "I already know how to weigh the elephant without killing it!"

I originally planned to let Guo Jia come forward and say it in person, but the latter was too shy and dared not come out, so Cao Cao had to do it for him.

"This is just theoretically feasible, but it has not been tried, who knows?" The woman was cheating on her. Anyway, she had never really done it, so she naturally could not count.

The problem is that Cao Cao couldn't get such a big ship immediately, let alone catch the elephant, and he immediately gritted his teeth.

Wang Yong looked at Guo Jia, who wanted to speak but stopped. He seemed to have thought of a solution, but he didn't dare to say it out. So he came to her and whispered: "Is there a solution?"

"Shop, owner..." Guo Jia was a little embarrassed, and it was really embarrassing for her to speak in public.

"Tell me the solution and I'll talk about it on your behalf!" Xun Yu stepped forward, the man who was also familiar with Guo Jia's personality.

"Hmm? Yes!" Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu unexpectedly, then nodded immediately, then leaned over and whispered.

"The ears are so itchy... OK, I understand!" Xun Yu heard it for a while, then covered his ears and smiled. The two guys showed off their love. Wang Yong, who was beside him, could only eat this dog food obediently.

"The verification method is already available!" Xun Yu stood up directly, "Please follow me to the kitchen, how about it?"

Then he looked at Wang Yong, bowed and asked, "Wuyou, can you borrow a water tank?"

"Available at will!" How could Wang Yong disagree?

Cao Cao naturally chose to believe Xun Yu, and the woman saw this and had to follow her to the kitchen obediently.

"I didn't expect the kitchen to be so clean?" Cao Cao was a little surprised when he came to the kitchen. In his impression, the kitchen was generally not very clean.

"I am personally obsessed with cleanliness, and the kitchen is usually cleaned up!" Wang Yong replied frankly, mainly because the medical level in this era is not high, so he doesn't want to get infected with any disease because of sloppy.

"Good habit!" Cheng Yu nodded. A clean man is more popular.

The group came to the large water tank in the kitchen. After asking for Wang Yong's advice, Xun Yu borrowed a wooden utensil, put it into the water tank, and put a few stones into it.

"Everyone has seen it. The waterline of Shenggu is here now!" Xun Yu took out the Shenggu and drew a line on the waterline.

"Weigh the stone, the weight is one pound and three ounces!" Xun Yu ordered someone to weigh the stone, then took something else and put it in the container, so that the water had just reached the water line range, and then someone took it out and weighed it.

"Now I have changed something else, and the weight of the weighing is one pound, two ounces and nine cents, which is very close to the weight of a stone. It is actually the same if it is converted into an elephant. The error may be a little bit, but it should not be big!" Xun Yu solemnly announced, "If there is anything else that is not convinced, how many things can you change and try it?"

"Forget it, we are not stingy either!" The woman was not good at nitpicking when she saw this. "The promised food will be raised later and sent to the yamen!"

"Thank you very much for your support. Cao is not talented and will also make Yanzhou more prosperous!" Cao Cao solemnly bowed to everyone. The benefits have been received, and face has always been given.

The gentry left one after another, and the officials left behind cheered. With this batch of food, Cao Cao's power would not be so embarrassed.

"Guo Jia!" Cao Cao sent away the gentry and came back, "I want to recruit you as an official, I wonder if I can help me?"

Guo Jia was brought by Xun Yu. From the beginning, she had noticed this cook who was not like a chef. However, at that time, Guo Jia was only willing to be a chef, and Cao Cao was not willing to force him. Now that Guo Jia has taken the initiative, Cao Cao thinks it is an opportunity!

She has always had a strong desire to control talents and wished that all talents would be included in her.

"This..." Guo Jia was a little panicked. She didn't expect Cao Cao to be so direct. She looked at Xun Yu directly, and saw that the latter turned his head aside and pretended not to see it, then looked at Wang Yong again.

Wang Yong looked at Guo Jia and looked at him, smiled, and signaled her to take the initiative.

"Then...then..." Guo Jia hesitated in a hesitation, "I am willing to... become an official! But I also hope that I can have time to be a chef!"

"Well..." Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, then looked at Wang Yong, and finally nodded, "Yes!"
Chapter completed!
