Chapter 4 Lao Cao and Xiao Cao

Chen Yang in Xudu didn't know that something happened in Wancheng had happened, but he knew it would happen.

That day, after Cao Cao came to the tavern once, in the next half month, Chen Yang's tavern began to be ignored again.

However, Chen Yang was not idle either.

After getting the money from Cao Cao’s last time, he started his own money-making plan.

First, Chen Yang spent a lot of money to build an iron pot for cooking, and then made a simple distillation device.

In the end, he changed the tables and chairs in the tavern because the tables and chairs in the Three Kingdoms era were very short and uncomfortable to use.

After doing this, Chen Yang was about to spend all the money.

"If you don't have a small fortune, you won't have a big fortune. When my wine opens up the Xudu market, you can make a lot of money." Chen Yang comforted himself.

The half month passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yang finally used that simple device to create the first bottle of distilled liquor, but the degree of this liquor was too high, and it would ensure alcohol poisoning in one sip, and a large amount of alcohol smelled bad.

You should know that the reason why the wines in later generations were so fragrant was that they were made by those big wineries who hired perfumers to come back and make them with high salaries.

So, Chen Yang went out to buy a lot of bartending materials. Unfortunately, there were not many things that could be used in the Three Kingdoms era. He traveled all over Xudu and could only find some simple things such as honey, osmanthus nectar.

It took Chen Yang two more days, and after failing many times, he finally succeeded.

After success, Chen Yang began to be distressed again.

"There is not much money left. You have to launch this kind of wine into the Xudu market as soon as possible. Even if you sell a bottle, otherwise you will have to eat dirt in a few days."

After packing the wine, Chen Yang returned to the counter and began to calculate the latest cost.

The tavern continued to open today, and as always, no guests came in, it seemed like another wasted day.

"Shopkeeper Chen, long time no see!"

Just as Chen Yang was worried, a familiar voice came from outside.

Chen Yang looked up and said in surprise: "Are you that old Cao? I haven't come for half a month, I want to miss you to death!"

Seeing that it was Cao Cao who came in, Chen Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

It is fake to think of Cao Cao, but it is absolutely true to think of Cao Cao's money. Chen Yang seemed to see a wallet walking into the door.

Lao Cao in front of him is a rich man.

Last time I gave myself a lot of money for wine and was very generous.

"Old Cao?"

This was the first time Cao Cao heard someone dare to call him like that, and then he smiled and said, "That's right, it's me, Lao Cao!"

There was another person following Cao Cao, Cao Ang. The eldest son looked at them in disbelief.

When did Cao Cao be polite with the shopkeeper of a tavern?

Never!

Chen Yang pulled him into the seat and said with a smile: "Old Cao, sit down, who is this?"

He looked at Cao Ang.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "My son!"

Chen Yang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Xiao Cao."

When Cao Ang heard that Chen Yang called him that, he couldn't help but thrust the corners of his mouth, but Cao Cao had no objection to "Old Cao", so he smiled and responded.

According to Cao Cao, Cao Ang knew that his life was saved by Chen Yang, so he was much more polite.

"I said Lao Cao, I've been together for so long. You guy is so outrageous!" Chen Yang said jokingly, either, he was not polite to them.

"Isn't I going to attack Wancheng with the Prime Minister? I'll be there for half a month."

Cao Cao smiled and his tone became solemn again: "But, Manager Chen, you are really as expected. Zhang Xiu surrendered first and then rebelled. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise the Prime Minister's losses would be great."

Chen Yang was silent for a long time and asked, "Old Cao, are you saying that Master Cao and General Dian Wei are not dead?"

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang beside him and nodded, "If you didn't say that, you might have been dead!"

That's not dead!

Chen Yang was wondering whether his approach would change history?

But soon he gave up this idea and had already traveled through time, which was the biggest change in history. No matter whether he changed or not, just live a happy life.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I plan to recommend you to the Prime Minister. With your talent and ability, if you can assist the Prime Minister, why worry about the big thing going forward?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Yang very much expectantly.

Chen Yang waved his hand casually: "Old Cao, forget it. I am the most afraid of trouble. I will be satisfied with being a small shopkeeper and making some money. You must know that Cao Cao is suspicious by nature and likes other people's wife the most. I think it is a bit dangerous to be his adviser."

Ahem...

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned red, and he had already scolded Chen Yang over and over again in his heart.

Can you, you guy, give me some face? I only have that kind of hobby. If you don’t need to emphasize again, you should just give me a face in front of Xiao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that in your eyes, Chen Zi'an, I was so unbearable.

But he didn't point it out.

After hearing such a bold sentence, Cao Ang couldn't help but feel shocked, but strangely, his father was indifferent.

If someone else dared to expose Cao Cao's shortcomings like this, the people would have already fallen to the ground.

"Old Cao, why are you blushing? Could it be that your wife was also..." Chen Yang asked curiously.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, it's just a little hot!" Cao Cao immediately interrupted Chen Yang for fear that he would continue to talk nonsense.

Now it's just early February, and it's not hot at all, Chen Yang looked at Lao Cao curiously.

Cao Cao avoided his gaze and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really amazing. After I told the Prime Minister you said that, I rewarded me with a lot of things when I came back from Wancheng. Since you refused to be an official, I will treat this gold as my reward for you."

As he said that, Cao Cao took out three ingots of gold from his arms and placed it in front of Chen Yang.

"Old Cao, it's wrong for you to do this. You're actually polite to me. Am I the kind of person who loves money?"

Chen Yang pretended to be angry, but he said so, but his hands were honestly picking up the gold and putting it away with a smile.

Then, Chen Yang said, "Old Cao, you are so nice. I don't treat you badly. Today I will let you witness history. I have a bottle of good wine, which you must have never drunk before."

Cao Cao said in surprise: "Really? Try it!"

Chen Yang smiled and went back to the kitchen to get his wine.

At this moment, Cao Ang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Father, can this son really believe it? I see that he is a smiley person. He may have misunderstood the last time he said it."

Cao Cao also put away his smile and said, "I will test him later. If it can be used, it will be the best."

"If it cannot be used, there will be no other loss. At worst, let him continue to be the shopkeeper."

"But this person is not simple. I think I can trust him but not fully believe him."

If Cao Cao is suspicious, it is certain, and it is engraved into his bones.

Cao Ang nodded, just about to speak, but Chen Yang came out with a bottle of wine.

"I said to Manager Chen, what good wine can you have here?"

Cao Ang changed his words and said, "My father and I have been with the Prime Minister. We have all drunk the fine wine in the world. You are not fooling people, right?"

When Chen Yang heard that Xiao Cao dared to question himself, he immediately said, "You will know what good wine is later. After drinking my wine once, you will feel that other wines are not as good as slurry."

As he said that, he had already set up his wine glass and opened the bottle.
