Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 864

"My lord! The atmosphere! Ma'am, this treasure is really delicious, we have never tasted such a delicious thing."

"That's right! Moist but not wet, dry but not dry, sweet but not greasy, salty and sweet! Madam's craftsmanship, this treasure, completely crushes all dim sum on the market!"

……

Hearing everyone's praise, Cao Cao burst out laughing, proudly embraced Mrs. Wu, and let her sit beside her.

"My dear brother, can you see how your sister-in-law's skills compare to yours?"

Compared with other people's praise, Cao Cao wanted to show off in front of Xia Houzhe, after all, the other party was nicknamed... God of Cooking!

Xia Houzhe stuffed his mouth full of halva, nodded and replied, "It's delicious! My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious, I can open a sugar factory, and I'm sure it will be popular among big men, and we have sugar raw materials at home, so the profits are full! "

When he heard that there was money to be made, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"Ma'am, what do you think?"

Mrs. Wu bowed decently: "It's all up to the husband!"

Cao Cao nodded, and looked at Xia Houzhe with a smile: "Good brother, help me think of a name that is grand, nice, and has a long history of energy?"

Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes, he was busy making crispy candies, so he had no time to help him think about things.

"Think to yourself, you are also a Wei Gong, don't rely on me for everything! I am a salted fish when riding a horse, and I should do it when I am full and sleep."

After being complained about a few words, Cao Cao just smiled and didn't care.

On the contrary, the eyeballs rolled up, obviously thinking about the name of the sugar factory.

Half a minute later, Cao Cao's mind flashed, and he said happily, "I have it! I have it!"

"Although candy is not as precious as before, it is still not something that ordinary people can eat! Anyone who can eat candy is a blessed person, how about..."

"I declare...Cao Fu Ji is officially established from now on! I want everyone who eats sweets to gain weight, hahaha!"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Houzhe was so startled that he sprayed Cao Cao's face immediately: "Pfft...you are a fucking genius!"

Chapter 981 Empty box?Cao Cao, what do you mean?

With the crunchy candies brought by Mrs. Wu, everyone was able to satiate their appetites and eat very satisfyingly.

Although they are all celebrities, candy is usually too expensive to sell, and it is really impossible to eat with an open stomach without a family background.

Taking advantage of such a good opportunity, the generals enjoyed themselves, especially the Jiangdong generals, who really thought that Cao Cao in front of him was very generous.

Seeing the satisfied expressions of the generals, Cao Cao was very pleased.

"Have you all eaten today? There are too many people and Mr. Cao can't take care of it. If anyone hasn't eaten or is full, remember to tell me!"

"There is no lord at the celebration banquet, only friends, just treat me as your friend!"

Hearing this, everyone patted their swollen stomachs and hiccupped.

They may not want to eat sugar for a long time.

"My lord! We have already eaten!"

Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly saw that there was still a small half box of crispy candies left on the table.

But his stomach was already full, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Just as he was thinking about what to do with the box of candies made by his mother-in-law, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind, and the figure of Sima Lao Liu appeared inexplicably.

Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and he saw a good opportunity to buy people's hearts.

"Haha! Everyone is full, but we still have a hero who hasn't eaten!"

"Look at the record of military exploits. This kid Sima Yi has killed many enemies. He didn't attend the meeting because of his dispute with Zhongkang, so he couldn't eat such delicious food."

"But Mr. Cao has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. How can he treat one more favorably than another? Zhongkang, here is half a box of candy, you can give it to Sima Yi. Take this opportunity for you two to relax!"

Cao Cao patted Xu Chu on the shoulder earnestly.

After all... he is very familiar with the show.

Doing this will not only save food from being wasted, but also gain a wave of loyalty from the generals in Jiangdong. If it spreads out, it will be said that Cao Cao is fair and just, and he has every general in his heart.

And now that he values ​​Sima Yi so much now, if the other party hiccups, the world will not suspect him of Cao Cao.

When the time comes, just find fault with him, accuse him of some crime, and kill Zhong Da with tears, wouldn't it be good?

Hearing this, Xu Chu was stunned, and pointed at himself in a daze.

"Hey... my lord, why is it me? I almost got into a fight with that kid yesterday!"

"Why don't you change someone, my lord?"

Xu Chu was not very happy. Looking at Sima Yi's arrogant look, he was afraid that he would not be able to restrain himself from whipping people.

Cao Cao resolutely said, "No! You are the only one to go. It is because of the conflict between you two that I let you go."

"Don't forget the purpose of our Cao Ying. Everyone is a family that loves each other. We must maintain a united, friendly and harmonious atmosphere! A small conflict, I believe a box of crisp candy can make you two shake hands and make peace."

Cao Cao's voice was very loud, and he deliberately let the Jiangdong generals hear it.

Creating a good working atmosphere is what the master must do.

But no matter how much he persuaded, Xu Chu was not very happy, so Cao Cao could only quietly lean over and say.

"Could it be... Zhongkang, you've been promoted, and you don't want to go and get face from Sima Lao Liu, and you don't want to show off? Don't forget how he bullied you last night."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chu raised his head suddenly, his eyes became eager to try.

"That's right! My lord, you are really smart. You have worked so hard to make the last general regain face!"

I save face for you?I'm riding a horse just for fun!

Cao Cao was stunned for a second, and then laughed out of relief.

"Hahaha! It's good that Zhongkang can understand, if that's the case, go quickly!"

"Okay! The subordinate will go right away! Guaranteed delivery!"

Xu Chu readily agreed, and left with the half box of crispy candies in his arms.

Seeing Cao Cao being so magnanimous and working so hard to maintain a harmonious relationship with his colleagues, all Jiangdong generals nodded secretly, with admiration in their eyes.

Cao Cao smiled triumphantly... The image of a generous and benevolent big boss was successfully created.

"Everyone, eat! Let's bring the celebration banquet to the conference hall today. If you don't get drunk, you won't go home! If you have any business, you can deal with it after drinking for two days!"

……

Xu Chu at the other end walked halfway with Sutang in his arms, and suddenly stopped with his brows furrowed.

Thinking of being humiliated by the other party last night, Xu Chu was unhappy.

"Hmph! I don't know what my lord is thinking. I really want to chop up Sima Lao Liu, but I still give him such delicious crispy candies!"

"And...it's still half a box! I didn't have to eat so much just now, what does the Lord mean?"

Looking at the half box of crisp candies in his hand, Xu Chu couldn't help swallowing again.

Looking around, seeing no one around, Xu Chu couldn't help taking out a piece, putting it in his mouth and eating it, immediately enjoying it.

"Damn it, how can Lao Liu deserve so much of such a delicious thing?"

"Anyway, he doesn't know how much is left in the box, and his body will definitely not be able to eat too much. Why don't I... I, Lao Xu, can share some with him!"

"Even if the lord knows, he won't blame me. Isn't it just a box of candies... I'm the lord's personal treasure, what can be a big deal?"

Thinking of this, Xu Chu stopped hesitating and ate while walking.

Looking around, looking around vigilantly.

Fearing that this kind of stealing behavior would be discovered, after walking a few steps, he stealthily took out a piece of crispy candy from the box and put it in his mouth.

When he walked to Sima Yi's residence, Xu Chu couldn't remember how much he ate, and he didn't bother to count. He couldn't eat half a box, could he?

With one hand, the lid is closed.

After belching and wiping the icing sugar off his mouth, he pushed open Sima Yi's door vigorously.

I saw Sima Yi lying on the bed, looking for a maid to massage him, and he was very happy.

Seeing that the door was pushed open, Sima Yi was furious, and pushed the maid to the ground with his backhand, glaring at Xu Chu.

"Fatty Xu, you trespassed on a horse? I want to sue the officials, and I will punish you for one or more of the above crimes!"

Xu Chu curled his lips and said with a disdainful smile: "I'm an official, you sue! And... Lao Xu and I have also been promoted, so what's wrong with me?"

"I'm not only a fourth-rank general now, but I'm also the Marquis of Guannei. Let me tell you! You can't scare me!"

Sima Yi was angry for a while, and Xu Chu's sudden promotion made him extremely upset.

But thinking of Cao Cao's cultivation of him, Sima Yi let out a sigh of relief.

"Hmph! What are you proud of? I didn't go to the meeting today. With my military exploits and my lord's great love for me, my lord will definitely come to me after I'm done tonight!"

"At that time... I will definitely be promoted and appointed as a Marquis, and I still have an advantage over you! By the way, what are you doing in my residence on horseback? If you have nothing to do, get out of here!"

Xu Chu rolled his eyes, and roughly threw the candy box in his hand to Sima Yi.

"I was ordered by my lord to bring you some candy, otherwise what do you think I am here for? I beg you to forgive me? You're kidding me!"

"The things have been brought, I'm leaving first, goodbye!"

Xu Chu ate something that belonged to the other party. As an honest man, he knew he was wrong.

After a few brief explanations, he ran away.

Sima Yi watched Xu Chu leave, smiled coldly, and pointed at the maid who had just got up from the ground.

"Get out! Close the door!"

After the maid left, Sima Yi sat on the head of the bed, lovingly stroking the boxy and extraordinary treasure box.

There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, and my heart is full of pride:

"See how much my lord trusts and values ​​me? I'm afraid that I, Sima Yi, will have a bad heart, so I even sent you, a fat man, to deliver things."

"I really don't understand. This is the lord asking you to apologize? Hehe, with this respect, I, Sima Yi, will definitely be able to reach the point where I hold great power!"

"My Sima family is famous all over the world, how can you be a commoner than you? It's really funny, when I get in charge, I'll be the first to deal with you, Xu Chu!"

After Sima Yi was overjoyed, he looked at the box.

Judging from the appearance of the box, the contents inside are absolutely precious and extraordinary.

The more precious this top product is, the more it shows that Cao Cao thinks highly of him, which has an extremely important effect on Sima Yi's promotion path.

Sima Yi became more and more proud in his heart, rubbed his hands together, and couldn't help opening the box.

But when the box was opened, Sima Yi froze instantly.

"Where are things? Didn't you mean to send me candy? Why... send me an empty box? Candy?"

"And there are some dust-like debris in the box. What does this mean? What does it mean?"

Sima Yi couldn't figure it out, so he sat down and stared at the box.

Looking at those powders, suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, Sima Yi realized it!

His complexion gradually became gloomy, almost dripping water!

His mouth started to mutter to himself, his words full of resentment.

"Empty box? Hehe, there is no fruit in the box, please pick it yourself (cut)? Could it be... that Xia Houzhe figured out that I have objections?"

"Cao Cao! Are you telling me Sima Yi that the food box is empty now, why should I have a box?"

"Sure enough, you are a generation of heroes! The cunning rabbit is a dead dog, and I, Sima Yi, fought the world for you, but now I have no salary to eat! Sigh...you Cao Cao is so cruel!"

Chapter 982 Sima Yi defected, the army returned to Chenliu

Sima Yi's resentment grew infinitely!

The world hasn't settled down yet, so why don't you put on a show like this?

I was just playing with my temper, trying to gain some more attention by taking advantage of your respect, so as to save some face for myself being blocked by Xu Chu that night.

Unexpectedly... I, Sima Yi, overestimated myself because I was too sentimental!

On the one hand, you gave the bodyguard an official title, but on the other hand, you gave me an empty box?
