Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 457 Discussion about 'cake'
"Respect the old shopkeeper!" Cao Cao didn't know what to say, and finally raised the corn juice in his hand.

"To that old guy!" Wang Yong also casually picked up a cup of soy milk, Xun Yu's cup.At this moment, he was somewhat sad. The old shop owner was not in good health, but he always maintained a very energetic appearance in front of him.

In fact, when I think about it carefully, there were many signs that showed these things at that time. The problem is that I really didn't notice it at the time.

After breakfast, Cao Cao and Xun Yu also went back to work, and Wang Yong had about one to two hours of rest.He can handle housework, and of course he can take a break. Who asked him to be the chef?The highest person in charge of the kitchen!
"Prepare the ingredients for lunch. They are not time-consuming dishes, but the preliminary preparation must be done well. Even if it is more detailed, it will make the diners feel comfortable." Wang Yong reminded.

"Yes!" Cao Shuo and others replied one after another.

"Then...an hour, I'll leave for a while..." After Wang Yong finished speaking, he turned and left. This was not the first time.

The sous chef and the assistant chefs naturally wouldn't say anything, everyone knew that Wang Yong planned to go to the palace.But if you know it, you know it, and the smart ones obediently shut their mouths.

More than ten minutes later, in the palace, Liu Xie was teasing little Liu Feng. The three-month-old little Liu Feng could already laugh, crawl, and even learn to stand and walk.Since it can crawl, it has become a troublemaker.

"Just born, I still look like a hairless monkey. After three months, I didn't expect to be very similar to you." Wang Yong walked in, and he didn't need to be notified when he came to the palace.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Xie pointed to little Liu Feng, and directly retorted, "Look at her eyes and mouth, they are completely carved out of the same mold as yours!"

"The problem is that your eyes and mouth are similar to mine!" Wang Yong hugged their mother and daughter into his arms.

"Wow~~~~~" Xiao Liufeng still wanted to play and didn't want to be restricted, so he started crying, and in a hurry, he even urinated, directly urinating all over Wang Yong.

"Well, it seems that she prefers to crawl around on the ground..." Wang Yong had no choice but to let her down.The question is, is it so easy for a baby to stop crying?It doesn't just start crying, it can't stop at all!
"You'd better go change your clothes first! I'll coax her..." Liu Xie pointed to the closet not far away, then hugged Liu Feng, and started humming a song to coax her.

There are Wang Yong's clothes in the closet, some were made by Liu Xie in his spare time, and some were prepared by order.In the days before the early court, Liu Xie was relatively free.For some government affairs and military affairs, she simply looks at them.It may not be considered to be governed by the arch, but the three princes do their own things, which reduces a lot of constraints.

"Duan Yan replied..." When Wang Yong was changing clothes, Liu Xie said, "Zhong Yao is almost ready to leave for Guanzhong. Tell me, should I go back to Luoyang?"

The emperors of the Han Dynasty are all in Luoyang, Xudu, the size and scale of this palace, that is, the level of an accompanying capital.

"Hanoi is now Yuan Shao's territory, now go to Luoyang..." Wang Yong shook his head, Yuan Shao would definitely not miss this opportunity to bring Liu Xie to Hebei.

"It's true... I just didn't expect that none of the Yuan Clan was a Hanchen." Liu Xie was a little upset.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't... Four generations and three fathers, this background is already at the pinnacle of the aristocratic family, which means that the benefits have already been divided up, the people behind can't make progress, and the people in the front are getting more and more unusable.

Only by taking one step closer can it be possible to redistribute benefits.Otherwise, the Yuan Clan would be torn apart internally, and the previous split into two only temporarily eased the process. "Wang Yong saw it very truthfully. Leaving aside Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao had no way out. Being so powerful was actually a pressure.

"It's also..." Liu Xie suddenly thought of the big man. In fact, the Liu family is the biggest family in the world, including the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, and the Wang family in Taiyuan. They are all families attached to the Liu family.

But as time went by, more and more families rose up, such as the Chen family in Xiapi, the Guo family in Yingchuan, etc., the benefits became less and less, and the less was distributed to the various families below, otherwise they would have to start from the Liu family. The interests of the knife up and down.

The first few emperors put knives on themselves, or were "accepted" by knives.In the end, the strength of the Liu family was empty, and the following aristocratic families became bigger and harder to control. The Yellow Turban rebellion was just the fuse. Without this, there would be other rebellions.

"In other words, Yuan Shao is also starting to face this problem!" Liu Xie understood.

The cake is so big, there are only two ways to continue: either give up your own share, or make the cake bigger.It was actually not easy for Yuan Shao to divide the cake tremblingly.But it doesn't matter... who will make you a cake?No way, but because of this, I felt resentful, and directly snatched the whole cake, and then there would really be nothing left!

"The area under the imperial court's control now is Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou counties, Sizhou, and the newly established Yongzhou. The cake should last for a while." Liu Xie thought for a while.

"Yes, but the ultimate goal is to take back all the territory that was originally controlled... But even so, it will actually consume three or four hundred years." Wang Yong has already changed his clothes.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Xie was a little worried.

"What else can I do?" Wang Yong thought for a while, "It's nothing more than continuing to make the cake bigger! Either go north, or east, or south, or go west. The road is out, as long as there is land, it can be cultivated. , can feed people, then our Chinese nation can survive even in the desert!"

"But the east is already the sky, while the south is a barren land, the west is a desert, and the north is a permanent tundra..." Liu Xie thought for a while, as if he had heard someone say it when he was a child.

"It's hard to say!" Wang Yong shook his head. "When the north is at least warm, let's solve the problem of keeping out the cold. It may not be impossible to live there. Maybe we can provide more meat to the Central Plains through the cattle and sheep trade. At the same time, they need wine to keep out the cold and stabilize food prices;
Who can guarantee whether there is a vast and fertile land beyond the western desert?Since we have been able to tenaciously live in Jiuzhen Rinan in the south, why can't we continue to go south, besides the sea, who can guarantee that there is no opener and more fertile land?There was no way in the past, but in the future, when sea ships are developed well, where can we not go? "

"You see farther than I do..." Liu Xie hugged Wang Yong directly from behind, "Sometimes I think, it might be better for the world if you just become the emperor."

"I'm just a cook... Even if I want to be, I just want to be your man..." Wang Yong turned around and hugged Liu Xie.

"I'm an old husband and wife... and still say such sour words..." Liu Xie joked, but his heart was sweet.
