Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 35 Solving Problems

Guo Jia's solution was the same as Cao Chong's.First find a big boat, put the elephant on it, then record the waterline, then drive the elephant down, and then replace it with other smaller weights until the boat drops to the previous waterline.

At this time, if you weigh the heavy object slowly, you can know its weight without killing the elephant.

I haven't actually tried it, but it is theoretically possible. Cao Cao immediately became excited, and the other civil servants also showed joyful expressions.Everyone knows what it means to solve this puzzle!
"Worriless, how is the tofu preparation?" Cao Cao immediately looked at Wang Yong.

"Preparation has begun! It will be finished in two quarters of an hour!" Wang Yong returned immediately. The beans soaked last night have already started making tofu this morning.

"Okay, everyone, get ready, I'm going to make those gentry have nothing to say!" Cao Cao suddenly became full of spirits and shouted.

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another. Everyone knew how depressed Cao Cao was because of the troubles made by those gentry during this time.Seeing that the other party has nothing to say now, he was suddenly excited.

"The venue for the meeting is in the store. Don't worry about preparing it. I won't be doing business today. I'll take it here for the time being!" Cao Cao looked directly at Wang Yong. Strictly speaking, Wang Yong is not yet the chef of the yamen. So he can still go about his business.

According to the agreement, Wang Yong will take the mid-level chef exam next year, and he will be officially appointed as the state chef only after he obtains the mid-level chef.Even though he has fulfilled some of the duties of the head chef, he is not considered Cao Cao's subordinate after all, and there are some things that need to be paid attention to.

"Okay!" Wang Yong nodded, at this time, it's a bit late to prepare lunch...

Half an hour later, Cao Cao came to a restaurant with a group of gentry.As expected, the leaders are basically women, the difference is that most of them look like women in their 40s, and there are two women in their 60s and [-]s.

According to the situation in this world, they should all be over a hundred years old, even around 180 years old.Sure enough, someone who can become the head of the family, if his resume and experience can't improve, how can he take on this important task?
"Is Inspector Cao already so destitute?" The leading middle-aged woman, strictly speaking, should be 180 years old. After entering the shop, she covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and said with a disgusted expression.

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

"There is a restaurant, indeed there have been many similar rumors at home recently..." The leading woman frowned slightly.

After all, this is the Eastern District, not only dignitaries and nobles have houses here, but even many aristocratic families live here.Otherwise, in three to ten minutes, how could Cao Cao summon them so quickly? !

"Then!" The leading woman looked at Cao Cao, "My lord has already solved our two problems, let's not talk about the second, the first problem, that dish, what kind of dish does your lord plan to serve?! "

"Worriless!" Cao Cao smiled and then called out.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Yong replied, and quickly got ready in the back kitchen.The tofu is perfectly made, cut into pieces with a knife, and then put on the plate, add chopped green onion, sesame oil, etc., a plate of tofu mixed with shallots, is served out one after another.

"Oh, what is this?" A group of aristocratic women who saw tofu for the first time were amazed at the whiteness of this ingredient.

"This is tofu?" Cao Cao also saw soybean tofu for the first time, and it looked much more comfortable than black bean tofu.

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

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

"Is this a cold dish?" The leading woman picked up the spoon, and had to say that the clean look was quite pleasing.It's just that she knows better that if Cao Cao really makes such a dish, their first problem will be solved.

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

"Sure enough, you can't underestimate the people in this world!" The woman picked up the spoon, took a bite, put it under her nose and smelled it, and a scent of tofu and green onion came over her face, and the juice became a bridge instead, connecting the two The flavors combine together.

"It's quite fragrant, but I don't know how it tastes..." The woman nodded, took a sip, and felt that it was neither sour nor bitter, nor spicy, nor smelly.In retrospect, the chef seems to have said that it is made of soybeans, and then feel it, it does have a taste of soybeans.

"I didn't expect it to be beans..." The woman shook her head. Beans will swell if you eat too much, so even if you eat them, you won't eat a lot of them. She sent them within the threat range from the beginning, but it turned out to be broken. own problems.

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

"Speaking of which, this tofu is really miraculous!" Xun Yu said suddenly, "It seems that I ate a lot last night. I didn't expect that there was no gas at all."

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

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

"Oh?" The woman was surprised when she heard the words, "You actually solved the biggest problem of Dou Zi?!"

"If I can't do these things, then I won't hire him as the chef!" Cao Cao smiled lightly, "Then, the first problem, I don't know if it can be considered solved?"

"My lord is so lucky, I'll be convinced!" The woman replied slowly, implying that Cao Cao was lucky, and just happened to meet Wang Yong who can make tofu, otherwise this problem would be impossible to solve.

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

Originally, Guo Jia was going to speak in person, but the latter was too shy to come out, so Cao Cao could only do it for him.

"It's only theoretically possible, but I haven't tried it, so who knows?" The woman is just cheating. Anyway, she hasn't really done it, so naturally she can't be counted.

The problem is that Cao Cao has no way to get such a big boat immediately, let alone drive the elephant to it, so he gritted his teeth.

Wang Yong looked at Guo Jia, who hesitated to speak, as if he had thought of a solution, but he dared not speak out.So he came to her side and whispered, "Is there a solution?"

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

"Tell me the solution, and I will speak for you!" Xun Yu stepped forward, who was also familiar with Guo Jia's character.

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

"The ears are so itchy...Okay, okay, I get it!" Xun Yu listened for a while, then covered his ears and laughed.The two guys showed their affection, and Wang Yong, who was at the side, could only obediently eat this dog food.

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

Then he looked at Wang Yong, saluted and asked, "Wuyou, can I borrow the water tank?"

"Use it at will!" How could Wang Yong disagree?
Cao Cao naturally chose to trust Xun Yu, but the woman could only obediently follow him to the back kitchen when she saw this.

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

"I'm a clean freak, and the kitchen is usually cleaned up!" Wang Yong replied frankly. The main reason is that the level of medical care in this era is not high, and he doesn't want to contract any diseases due to sloppiness.

"Good habit!" Cheng Yu nodded, clean men are more likely to be popular.

A group of people came to the big water tank in the back kitchen. After consulting Wang Yong, Xun Yu borrowed a wooden container, put it in the water tank, and put a few stones in it.

"As you can see, the waterline of the container is here!" Xun Yu took out the container and drew a line on the waterline.

"Weigh the stone, the weight is one catty and three taels!" Xun Yu ordered someone to weigh the stone, and then took other things and put them in the container so that the water had just reached the water line, and then asked someone to take out the weighing .

"Now I've replaced it with other things, and the result is that it weighs [-] cents a catty, which is very close to the weight of a stone. It's the same when converted to an elephant. The error may be a little bit, but it shouldn't be too big!" Xun Yu Solemnly announced, "If there is still something unconvinced, can you change a few things and continue to try?"

"Forget it, we're not stingy people either!" Seeing this, the woman couldn't be too picky, "The promised food will be raised later and sent to the yamen!"

"Thank you very much for the support of the gentry. If Cao is not talented, he will make Yanzhou more prosperous!" Hearing this, Cao Cao solemnly bowed to everyone. The benefits have been accepted, and face is always given.

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

"Guo Jia!" Cao Cao returned after seeing off the gentry, "I want to enlist you as an official, can you help me?"

Guo Jia was brought here by Xun Yu, and she had paid attention to this cook who didn't look like a cook from the very beginning.It's just that Guo Jia was only willing to be a chef at that time, and Cao Cao couldn't force it.Now that Guo Jia took the initiative to come forward, Cao Cao thought it was an opportunity!

For talents, she has always had a strong desire to control, wishing that all talents could fall into her grasp.

"This..." Guo Jia was a little flustered, she didn't expect Cao Cao to be so direct.Shy, she looked directly at Xun Yu, and saw that the latter turned his head to the side, pretending not to see it, and looked at Wang Yong again.

Wang Yong watched Guo Jia look at himself, smiled, and signaled her to take the initiative.

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

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