Chapter one hundred and sixty six.
Wang Hou’s Funiu Mountain Manor is so fresh!
A big pomegranate tree that had grown for unknown years was dug out neatly and planted in the soft and thick rice fields on the edge of the vegetable field on the mountain. The cotton that was almost blooming was planted in the drizzle. On the drier and sunny slope on the mountain, the pepper wood dug from Mr. Cao was planted below. Looking at his labor, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, Wang Hou was happily straightening his waist.
Although it was not good to do bad things, it was really nervous and exciting. Then he wiped his red face. Cao Hongjie's little heart was pounding, and he asked Wang Hou again with excitement and nervousness.
"Husband, do you think Xiangfu can you get angry?"
"I must be furious!"
He lowered his head and shaved his wife's rosy and silly face, but Wang Hou shook his head without caring.
"But these crops are not very useful to the Prime Minister. They are just an ornamental pastime, and may be of great use to me. Therefore, your husband is also for the sake of the people of the world! The Xiangfu should also forgive me!"
It is said that girls are outgoing! Now that they are married, Cao Hongjie is no longer Cao Cao's little cotton-padded jacket, and they think about him everywhere. Seeing Wang Hou's wise and martial look with her head held high, she also lit her little head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yeah! Xiangfu will definitely forgive for the sake of the people of the world!"
Wang Hou is so happy to have a wife like this. He hugged the girl's shoulders and looked back at the cotton and peppers shaking in the wind. Wang Hou couldn't help but nodded slightly with satisfaction. He used to think that the Han Dynasty was barren and had nothing to do. Now it seems that except for those treasures in the Americas, half of the dining tables in later generations were all complete. Zhang Qian, a great diplomat, has sought this huge gospel for countless foodies in later generations, but it has not been promoted.
As for this worst, if you want to blame Cao Cao, he can only blame him for being too stingy. Cao Cao doesn't care about cloth, gold and silver, and he has a lot of good land. He is not stingy to say that he is granted to his subordinates. However, as a literati, Cao Cao is very precious to the flowers, plants, and the wonderful vines and trees in his yard.
The former one was in the Grand Secretary’s Agricultural Mansion. Pei Yuan said that the Prime Minister had sent someone to find a cultivation method. Wang Hou’s eyes turned and he knew that there must be some good things from the Western Regions in Cao Cao’s mansion. After bringing the books back to the mansion, he immediately consulted Cao Hongjie to discuss with him, and asked Mr. Cao to ask for things!
However, Cao Xiaoniu rolled his eyes. Cao Cao's strange flowers and plants, the Grand Marshal Yang Biao wanted to pass, Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao wanted to pass, his uncle Xiahouyuan wanted to pass, and Mr. Cao didn't give him a single one, can he give it to you?
As a result, Wang Hou, who was so jealous that he drooled, became angry and became brave. It happened that Mr. Cao wanted to send his precious daughter to Cheshi to settle the old and new revenge together, which moved Cao Hongjie to attack.
However, Wang Hou was not awesome when he showed off his romance to Cao Hongjie. Indeed, Cao Cao would be furious, but indescribably, Cao Cao would not deal with Wang Hou, not only because Wang Hou is his son-in-law, but more importantly, he is very useful!
This is the success of Cao Cao as a leader. As long as he is a talent, he will be extremely tolerant!
Of course, it is true that he is not treated as a thief and is dismissed from office, but this black-hearted old man found an excuse to beat him up and vent his anger and couldn't escape, so he had to find a reason and fool his father-in-law!
Looking at the saplings swaying in the wind, Wang Hou thought secretly while hugging Cao Hongjie.
…………
Confucius said: The passing is like this. If you have a fart, you will pass in two or three days!
It is indeed Mr. Cao, who has a broad mind and courage! For three days, he did not send anyone to summon Wang Hou, waiting for him to come and explain himself. Of course, it would be even better if the old guy had not sat on a high-ranking case and had an old face grinning as if he wanted to eat people!
Sitting down below, facing Mr. Cao's two 24K titanium alloy light bulbs, Wang Hou was sweating in his head, rubbing the sweat on his forehead, showing a very sad smile that was so ugly and ugly.
"My son-in-law pays homage to the prime minister's father!"
"No need to be polite, seeking the way, has the diarrhea cured?"
He cared about his subordinates and was more amiable. If Mr. Cao hadn't had his white teeth like a carnivore, Wang Hou would have believed it.
He pretended to be a pussy, and he had to pretend to be crying! The forehead was covered with sweat and the corners of his mouth twitched lightly. Wang Houqiang held up the ugly smile and bowed again.
"The father of the prime minister is just getting his point! The son-in-law of the day was still in the toilet of the prime minister's mansion, and the bloody storm of the battle of Guandu echoed in his mind. Suddenly, thanks to the blessing of the prime minister's father, his son-in-law suddenly had a bright light and had a great inspiration! This delayed the political discussion! I hope the father of the prime minister will forgive him for his crimes!"
Has it just delayed the political debate? You kid had organized and planned to hollow out my garden! But Mr. Cao was Mr. Cao after all, and his teeth were so angry that he still saw the flesh lion, and he hummed with a graceful smile.
"What inspiration, share with me!"
If there is no reasonable excuse, you kid come in and go out horizontally today! You won’t cut your butt into eight petals!
However, with the steps, Wang Hou was easy to deal with. He clapped his hands and immediately came in from outside with a box in his arms and presented it to Cao Cao's case with respect.
I opened the box strangely, and a long and strange piece of meat with a red smell of cigarettes. A piece of white cloth stained with a little smoke and meat oil suddenly caught Cao Cao's eyes.
The food offered to the prime minister normally must be tested for poison! However, it can be seen that General Cao trusted Wang Hou so he cut a small piece with a dagger and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few seconds, he immediately grinned.
"Salty! And it smells like pepper! This thing was what you thought of when you, Wang Tuqiu, squatted in the pit?"
As Wang Hou's eyes were straight, Cao Cao wiped his mouth with the white cloth, and then asked in a slight slight manner.
A stunned man, Wang Hou held his fist sadly: "Prime Minister, you have been home this time, and chewing the smoky sausages will naturally lose its taste. But if you were on the battlefield of Guandu more than a month ago, when you were in the Guandu battlefield, you would chew this dry steamed buns soaked in water! Would you still dislike this?"
Cao Cao could not help but be stunned. He was stunned. He cut a thin slice with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth. This time, he couldn't help but nodded, but asked the point again.
"Can this thing be kept for a long time?"
"Marinated with salt and pepper, then smoked with pine and cypress, it will be no problem to keep for one or two years! Moreover, the Prime Minister, this thing is not only as simple as improving the taste of the soldiers. One meat is used to support three grains, and the cavalry is raiding outside. In the past, I had to bring about ten steamed buns, which could only be enough for three days of food. But with a sausage and three steamed buns, it is enough for three days! Moreover, when the son-in-law trained the department, the strong soldiers who had meat had much strength and endurance than when they were just vegetarians!"
Why are spices so expensive in the West in the Middle Ages? A group of Western ghosts rely on the spices to stimulate appetite and suppress the fishy smell in pork and mutton. Pepper also has the effect of keeping fresh. Sausages marinated with pepper and salt are far more delicious than sausages made from ordinary wax and preserved for a long time.
After cutting off the third slice of sausage and stuffing it into his mouth, Cao Cao shook his head in embarrassment.
"The pepper tree is delicate and difficult to raise. From the Western Regions, I have worked hard to raise two of them, but I was dug up by you again! It's hard to promote!"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao glared at him annoyedly and smiled awkwardly, but Wang Hou shook his head indifferently.
"Pepper likes warmth and is afraid of coldness. There is a stone carbon mine in Funiu Mountain. Just build a warm room and cultivate pepper wood in it. There is a pig farm near the foot of the mountain. During the New Year, kill pigs and smoke sausages, and you can get 80,000 sausages a year, which will cost 240,000 grains!"
Wang Hou's current name as a housekeeper is well-known. This number obviously made Cao Cao's heart beat. Eighty thousand stones of sausages are more than just 240,000 stones of grain. Once the light cavalry attacks, carrying three days of rations and nine days of food are definitely two concepts.
But Mr. Cao is yours after all, Mr. Cao. The one who was poached was put down for the time being, and Cao Cao suddenly slapped the table again.
"Then why are you digging me for white stacks of flowers?"
With a sad face, Wang Hou bowed sadly again.
"Prime Minister, I'll use it to wipe your mouth!" Baipian's latest chapter "Following General Cao to the Three Kingdoms Claw Bookstore" is free to read for free as soon as possible.
