Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Cao Cao left the tavern, went back to the mansion immediately, and immediately called Guo Jia over.

As soon as Guo Jia entered the meeting hall of the Cao Mansion, he heard Cao Cao eagerly say: "Feng Xiao, pass on my order to stop the conquest of Xuzhou immediately."

Guo Jia was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and asked inexplicably: "Prime Minister, why is this? After returning from Wancheng, we will immediately prepare to attack Xuzhou. Not only the strategy has been decided, but also the food and grass are prepared." Well, the sudden revocation of the order, I'm afraid the soldiers will have more grievances!"

Cao Cao told Guo Jia what Chen Yang had said, and he said, "Now Xuzhou is not in a hurry to fight. At present, our most important thing is to store food. This year's spring will be dry, and the crops will decrease. The price of food will definitely skyrocket. "

After hearing this, Guo Jia's reaction was exactly the same as Cao Ang's just now. He smiled and said, "It's only spring now, and the weather is very good. How could there be a severe drought? It's because the prime minister was overwhelmed."

Cao Cao shook his head and said firmly, "Just do as I tell you. Even if there is no severe drought, there will be nothing wrong with storing more food."

"As for Wancheng's matter, shopkeeper Chen has predicted things like a god. Since this is the case, I will trust him again. I hope I have not misjudged the person."

"Go and prepare immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao left the meeting hall.

Guo Jia just stood there in a daze, what shopkeeper Chen?

Back from Wancheng, it was not the first time Guo Jia heard Cao Cao mention this person.

"Could it be that behind the prime minister, there are other masters who can advise him?"

Guo Jia was muttering in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up, because Cao Ang was also in the meeting hall, he asked quickly: "Zixiu, you went out with the prime minister just now, and when you came back, you vetoed all the previous decisions, what did you do? What?"

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "I'm just going to meet a tavern manager. That person not only mentioned the severe drought this year, but also said that Yuan Shu would proclaim himself emperor. Do you think it's possible?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor? Unless he is a fool, otherwise, it is impossible."

Cao Ang said again: "However, Fengxiao, you should do what your father said. This is already a military order."

Guo Jia nodded and agreed. Then, he suddenly saw the wine bottle Cao Ang was holding.

For a while, Guo Jia felt that the alcohol bug was on his mind, he smiled and said: "Zixiu, this is your fault, you don't tell me when you drink."

Cao Ang held the wine bottle and backed away again and again: "This is just ordinary wine, it's not good, I'll go back first."

Compared with Cao Ang, Guo Jia is definitely a higher-ranked alcoholic. He smiled and said, "If it's ordinary wine, why are you so nervous, Zixiu?"

He stepped forward suddenly, trying to grab the wine bottle again.

The two chatted for a while, but in desperation, Cao Ang could only share the bottle of wine.

"It smells so good!"

"Good wine!"

As soon as the cork was opened, the rich aroma of the wine penetrated into the nostrils.

This distilled wine has a high alcohol content.

On that day, both Guo Jia and Cao Ang were so drunk that they passed out.

-

Chen Yang saw Cao and Cao away, and his tavern became quiet again, so he simply closed the door and went back to sleep.

At present, there is not much wine. If you want to make a fortune, you have to prepare a large amount of wine, mass-produce it, and then sell it in limited quantities to raise the price.

But he already had enough money, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink for the time being. Chen Yang was not in a hurry, he went to buy the ingredients for bartending first, and then hoarded a batch of wine from this era.

the next morning.

Chen Yang didn't open for business either, and went directly to the market in Xudu. It wasn't the first time he had been shopping in the city center. This time, he had money and confidence, so he went directly to the shops instead of visiting those street corners. stalls.

It's a pity that in the era of the Three Kingdoms, even if he had money, he might not be able to buy what Chen Yang wanted. After shopping around, he only bought a lot of wine and asked people to send them back to the tavern.

Chen Yang also wanted to buy some honey to make wine, but there are very few people who know how to keep bees in this day and age, he was able to find a little last time, but this time he couldn't find it anymore, he was very disappointed.

However, it can be regarded as a road to heaven.

Chen Yang inquired at the market for a while, and learned that there was a farmer who knew how to raise honey in the outskirts of the city, so he bought a large jar of honey from them.

The traffic in this era is also inconvenient. On the way back, Chen Yang rested while walking.

This body is too weak, holding honey that only weighs a few catties, before walking for a long time, he was so tired that he almost fell down.

"I can't, I can't walk any more. I will start exercising tomorrow." Chen Yang sat down and rested helplessly.

There was a small river in front of him. He washed his face with the cold water, which made him feel better.

At this time, Chen Yang saw a farmer driving sheep, walking past with three sheep, and walked up the side of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, the sheep stopped suddenly, each licking a fist-sized stone with relish.

"Old man, your sheep are really strange, how can they eat stones but not leaves?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"You don't understand this."

The farmer was fine when he was idle, and he heard him say: "Sheep like to eat salt, and there is a bit of salt on these rocks, so they like to lick them."

Salt?

Chen Yang is also familiar with history. In ancient times, salt was not only a necessity of life, but also a condiment monopolized by the government. Basically, only wealthy families could afford it.

Poor people are reluctant to cook with salt.

Curiously, he picked up a stone, wiped it clean and put it in his mouth to taste it. He spit it out quickly. It was really salty, and there was salt in it.

"Young man, although this kind of stone has salt, it can only be eaten by sheep. We humans will be poisoned if we eat it." The farmer said again.

Chen Yang didn't respond to his words, he quickly picked up several stones, washed them in the river for a while, and found that there were white crystals on them, as expected.

"Good guy, if I'm not wrong, there is a salt mine here, I have a hunch, and I'm going to get rich again!"

Chen Yang was very excited in his heart, but he was calm on the surface.

There is definitely a salt mine here. People in ancient times didn't know how to purify coarse salt, so it would be poisonous if it was directly used for cooking.

Chen Yang was different. As a time traveler, he knew everything.

After Chen Yang put away the stones, he suddenly didn't feel tired anymore. He ran up the mountain and continued to pick up stones for inspection.

After a while, Chen Yang can be sure that the rocks on this mountain are full of salt, and it is a proper salt mine.

"However, how can I get the mountain?"

Chen Yang felt that this was a difficult problem, and he said to himself, "Old Cao can help, right?"

"Forget it for the time being, I will find a solution in the future. At worst, I will give Lao Cao a few tricks to get this mountain back. No one can stop me from making a fortune."

"From now on, that mountain is mine."

That's how he asserted his sovereignty.

Next, Chen Yang picked up the honeypot and rushed back to Xudu City.

However, just walked into the city gate of Xu Capital.

Chen Yang suddenly heard a scolding sound coming from behind him.

"The one in front, get out of the way, if you hit him to death, I won't pay for it!"

Then, a fast horse rushed in from outside the city, and the rider turned out to be a heroic and beautiful woman.

Many passers-by on the street seemed to be used to this, and the moment they heard the sound, they dodged one after another.

"Damn it, help me!"

As soon as Chen Yang turned his head, he saw a horse bumping towards him, and he was immediately terrified.

He just wanted to dodge, but the speed of the horse was very fast, and it came to him in the blink of an eye, and he was too late...
