Chapter 145 Fighting poison with poison

Cao Miao agreed "rudely".

He wanted to hide his actions, so the less contact he had with people, the better. He could not stop eating, so he could find a way to make Yunniang his full-time chef and prevent other chefs from knowing his existence. He could not hide it from Xiahou Xu, so he could let Xiahou Xu live here too, not want to leave, cut off contact with the outside world, and delay the leak of news as much as possible.

All of this happened naturally. Although he was not a chef, he had eaten countless delicacies and watched some food programs. A few words were enough to make Yunniang admire him. When it comes to food, how can this era be compared with later generations?

To be fair, the food culture of the Han Dynasty was already very rich, but the highlight era of the foodie country was far from coming, and there was a lot of room for improvement. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of knife skills, could Yunniang make Wensi tofu from Huaiyang cuisine?

Of course, Cao Miao can only say that he can't do it.

After dinner, Yunniang explained the menu for dinner, arranged for people to withdraw the seat, put on fragrant tea, and left on her own initiative.

Cao Miao picked his teeth and said to Xiahou Xu: "You are not leaving yet?"

Xiahou Xu has been reunited with Yunniang for a long time and has always wanted to get both food and sex, but he has not been able to do it. Now, in order to get Cao Miao's guidance, Yunniang is willing to cook for Cao Miao for ten days, so of course he refuses to leave. Not only can the food be disappointed, but he is also afraid that Cao Miao will take the lead and become Yunniang's beauties.

After spending so long with Yunniang, he had already noticed that Yunniang looked at Cao Miao with strange eyes.

"How can I leave such a good opportunity?" Xiahou Xu said with a smile: "Yunliang, I found that you not only have the ability to deal with famous scholars, but also have the ability to deal with women. In the morning, I discovered that Princess Deyang was coaxed by you. Now Yun Niang admires you so much that she wishes to be your teacher. You have to teach me how to do this."

Cao Miao was so amused and crying. If you compare Princess Deyang with a prostitute, aren’t you afraid that Xiahou Xuan will fight to you?

"Well, Bo Yuan, your metaphor is a bit inappropriate."

"Oh, ah." Xiahou Xu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he slapped himself twice in the face, and begged: "I'll pay you another ten gold, teach me."

"It's not impossible to teach you. But brothers, settle the accounts clearly. Since you live here, you have to pay half of the ten gold each. Add the other ten gold, and you owe me fifteen gold."

Xiahou Xu looked at Cao Miao, rolled his eyes for a long time, swallowing the swear words that had flowed to his mouth, and nodding with gritted teeth.

"OK!"

Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Xu sideways and laughed silently. "Boyuan, to be honest, I don't understand a little. You said that you are much better than Taichu in terms of origin. Why do you see Taichu like a mouse and a cat, and you want to run away when you smell it. No matter how good it is, it can be better than your family? You are not so respectful to your mother, right? Why?"

Xiahou Xu blinked. "Yes, I don't understand why."

"You don't understand, you're embarrassed to say it." Cao Miao patted Xiahou Xu's shoulder. "You are afraid of Taichu because you are not successful in literature and martial arts. Everything is worse than Taichu. You are afraid of Aunt Ren and Yunniang because you want to steal people, but you don't have the ability, right?"

Xiahou Xu looked around, laughed, and put his arms around Cao Miao's shoulder. "Yunliang, why didn't I see it before? Your eyes are poisonous enough. How do you know I want to steal someone?"

"You still need to ask? You are writing on your face." Cao Miao pushed Xiahou Xu away and snorted disdainfully: "But have you ever thought that even if those people outside are cruel, they can still be more cruel than the court? If His Majesty really has an imperial edict, he will order Jinwu or Sili's lieutenant to be the chief lieutenant. No matter which mansion or temple he is, if they copy this place, they will still dare to be enemies with the court head-on? At that time, let alone Yunniang, even Aunt Ren, you can rob it back and be a foot-washing maid."

"That's impossible, that's impossible." Xiahou Xu shook his hand repeatedly. "Yunliang, you underestimate Aunt Ren too much. Her subordinates are not the people you see. If you really want to provoke her, even if you have thousands of troops, you can't help but be elusive assassins. From then on, you have to open your eyes when you sleep, how can you survive?"

Cao Miao snorted: "So, you are still timid. Do you know Longlou?"

"I know, I know, I am the gold medal assassin of Ren Zhijia. Apart from the last time you failed, there is no record of missing before. However, he may not be able to miss the next time he failed. You should be careful."

"Do you think he dares to assassinate Sima Yi?"

Xiahou Xu was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Cao Miao said again: "He said to me personally, but he dared not."

Xiahou Xu smacked his lips without saying a word, but just thought about something.

"So you see, you are afraid of things because you are cowardly. When will you be afraid of you? Let's talk about Taichu's affairs later. Let's talk about Yun Niang in front of you first. Why doesn't she like you? Because you are cowardly. You only know how to eat, but you haven't really studied eating, and you don't know why the dishes she cooks are delicious and what are the shortcomings. Even if you know, you dare not say it. I'm different. I not only eat, but also study it. Not only know her shortcomings, but also dare to say it."

Xiahouxu touched the few short beards on his chin and his eyes turned around. "Then what should I do and study how to eat?"

"That's right, even if you are a foodie, you must be a tasteful foodie. Not only do you have to know what is delicious and what is not delicious, but you also need to know why it is delicious and why it is not delicious. You have to study it more deeply than Yun Niang, so she will naturally come to ask you for advice."

Xiahou Xu was a little overwhelmed. "But how can I know why a dish is delicious and why it is not delicious?"

"Oh, this is another thing, I have no obligation to teach you." Cao Miao waved his hand. "I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while. If you're fine, think of a way to pay my ten gold bundle first."

"I..." Xiahou Xu was so excited that he saw Cao Miao suddenly interrupted. He was so angry that he reached out to draw his sword. "Do you believe it or not, I cut you down?"

Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Xu sideways and looked at him disdainfully. "If you talk about it, you can't tell me. If you cut down people, you are not my opponent. I won't hide it from you, I will hit you ten times."

Xiahou Xu immediately became short of breath and took back the knife awkwardly. "This... is a joke, my brother, how could he really use the knife?" He thought about it, but he didn't believe it. "You... hit me ten times one?"

"Do you want to study? One hundred gold."

Xiahou Xu was so angry that he left. "If you don't learn it! Even if you have some martial arts, how good can you be? If you don't have a conscience and have your own brothers, you will know how to cheat me of money. What can you teach me and bite people's fingers?"
