My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

The next day.

The verdict came out, and it was quite unexpected.

First, Du Liniang, the sufferer, did not pursue the case, and then there were several young masters who were beaten.

Perhaps because of Zhang Fei's relationship, they learned that Guan Yu was Zhang Fei's adopted brother, so they turned the big thing into a small one, and they just asked Guan Yu to pay for the soup and medicine, so they didn't file a case.

Guan Yu only stayed in the guard for two days before being released.

At this time, he was sober, but his whole state was still muddled.

The gate of Anyi City.

Guan Yu was riding a Dawan horse, and looked haggardly at the city gate.

He couldn't help sighing because he didn't see the beautiful figure who was thinking about it day and night.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Second brother, there is only so much I can help you. This time, for you, not only was I punished by the young master, but I also owed favors from several aristocratic families. Sister Du is a good girl." , but you are not suitable, a twisted melon is not sweet."

Guan Yu couldn't listen at all, glanced at Zhang Fei, clasped his fists and said, "Third Brother, Second Brother owes you a lot this time, and I will definitely pay you back when I get a chance. As for Liniang, please help Second Brother take care of it first."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Fei's big eyes are full of doubts, after a long time, you still don't give up?
A gleam of light flashed in Guan Yu's long and narrow eyes, and he said in a somewhat grim tone: "I'm going to look for that Qin Yilu, as long as he writes a letter of divorce, Liniang will..."

Zhang Fei suddenly became angry, and angrily scolded: "Second brother, why can't you forget her, a mere woman, why are you doing this, even if you force her divorce letter, she won't Will appreciate it."

Guan Yu was startled when he heard the words, opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "Third brother, you won't understand, if I don't get her, there will be a hurdle in my heart that I can't overcome, and my mood will never be complete. "

Zhang Fei was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

Zhang Fei also encountered that kind of situation where he couldn't be satisfied, but he was not because of a woman, but because he couldn't beat it.

Because I can't beat him, I work harder to improve myself. When I beat him one day, my state of mind will be complete, and my strength will also be improved... I think this is what the second brother said about the state of mind!

Zhang Fei looked helplessly at Guan Yu in front of him. He still couldn't understand why the second brother suddenly became so persistent and paranoid because of a woman.

"Okay, third brother, you can send it here. On the day you pick up the bride, the second brother will definitely come to Hedong again. At that time, you and I will have a happy chat again. We must have a good drink."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei waved their hands. The two of them tacitly did not mention Liu Bei. They probably knew that Liu Bei would not leave the territory he had won so hard to go north, and mentioning him would only embarrass each other.

···
modern time.

Wei Cheng didn't have the time to take care of an 'idleman' whose ambition was affected by beauty.

Longcheng, an industrial park.

Wei Cheng stacked all the herbs exchanged for the grain in the container in order to prepare for the normal transaction next month.

Just as he was about to close the door and leave, he suddenly discovered an incredible scene.

"Strange, how come the leaves of this forsythia are still so green?"

Because they are not exchanged on the same day, some herbs are dried and some are freshly picked by mountain people.

Wei Cheng originally thought that these herbs would wither after being left in the space for a few days, but unexpectedly, he discovered such an incredible scene.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

He has been ignoring a problem before, that is, time in the space is static, but why can he breathe and walk normally in it, shouldn't time and space be static together?

Looking at these emerald green herbs at this time, a bold idea emerged in his mind.

Wei Cheng closed the door, took a Didi car directly, and arrived at the largest seafood market in Longcheng.

After making a lot of purchases, he rushed back to his home in the community without stopping, and he didn't bother to say hello to Mu Mu, and went straight back to the Time and Space of the Three Kingdoms.

At this time, it was almost noon.

Wei Cheng walked out of the quiet room, and several women in the yard were preparing lunch. Seeing that Wei Cheng had finished his short "retreat", Cai Yan looked at his expression curiously.

"What's wrong?" Wei Cheng asked guiltily.

Cai Yan shook his head, and said strangely: "Every time my husband came out of retreat before, his face was not very good-looking. Why does it seem that there is nothing wrong this time? Did we bother you?"

Wei Cheng froze for a moment, remembering that every so-called retreat before was done with Mu Mu, and the intensity was unusual, so naturally he looked ugly when he came back, because he was hollowed out after all.

This time it was to go shopping, and he didn't go to see Mu Mu at all.

Of course, this secret, Wei Cheng, couldn’t be self-inflicted, so he hurriedly said haha, changed the subject and said, “It’s a bit noisy, I was just thinking about difficult problems in the quiet room, and I didn’t hear what you guys said clearly.”

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Chan, who was distributing the bowls and chopsticks, raised her head and said, "Brother Wei, it's Sister Yu'er. We haven't seen her for a long time. Today is her birthday. We want to help her, but we are afraid that she won't come." .”

Wei Cheng looked at Cai Yan, who nodded and said meaningfully: "Today is indeed Yu'er's birthday, and it's still her birthday!" After speaking, he blinked at Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, then looked at Zhong Chan, and said, "Since it's Yu'er's birthday, it's also celebrated at Xie's Mansion. Why did she come here?"

Zhong Chan pouted when she heard the words, and said disappointedly: "Then you didn't send us an invitation card."

Right now.

The housekeeper, Wei Mu, came quickly from the courtyard gate holding an invitation in both hands.

"Second Master, this is an invitation from someone sent by the Xie Mansion."

Zhong Chan and the others were overjoyed when they heard the words, "Is it sister Yu'er's?"

The housekeeper Wei Mu was startled for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "It was written by Mr. Xie himself, saying that the Xuzhou governor came to Hedong County, and Mrs. Xie held a big banquet tonight, and invited the second master and his wife to go with him."

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, "Tao Qian is here too?"

He had already learned about Chen Deng's Buddhist scriptures in Anyi through the intelligence of Wei Gong's hidden guards. Although Wei Cheng valued Chen Deng, we are not greedy people. Now there are Tian Feng, Xun Yu, Sima Yi, Xu Shu, etc. As a strategist, Chen Deng will be like that.

However, I didn't expect that even Tao Qian came to Hedong from Xuzhou all the way. Could it be that Xuzhou encountered some troubles?
Wei Cheng immediately thought of Cao Cao, because Cao Cao had made plans for Xuzhou more than once in history.

When Tao Qian served as governor of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou yellow scarves in the north came and went one after another, but Xuzhou was relatively peaceful, the people were rich, grains were full of granaries, and celebrities from Qingzhou, Yuzhou and other places (such as Zheng Xuan, Xu Shao, etc.) also flocked to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao couldn't beat Wei Cheng, but it didn't mean he didn't dare to fight Tao Qian.

Thinking of this, Wei Cheng felt that he had already made a good guess. This time Tao Qian came to Hedong, maybe he came to ask him to borrow soldiers, and no matter how bad it was, he also came to ask for help to purchase Longshan weapons.

And the fact is just as Wei Cheng guessed, Tao Qian went west this time for two purposes.

One is to ask Wei Cheng for help, the second is to ask Dong Lianmeng for help, and Hedong is the first stop.

···
Xie's mansion.

Originally, the Xie family was the same as the Wei family, they were both famous and famous families in Anyi.

Similar to the Wei Mansion in the north of the city, this large Xie family mansion, which has been built for more than [-] years, is located in the east of the city, covering an extremely large area.

There are not only small bridges and flowing water inside, but also a small lake that belongs to Xie's family alone, with an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. Without Xie's consent, no one is allowed to wash clothes by the lake, or go fishing and boating.

At this time, on the green grassland to the west of the lake, the servants were preparing for tonight's banquet.

Ten wooden pillars carved with blessing totems stood among them. Some kind of resin fuel was lit on the top of the wooden pillars. There was a faint scent of grass and trees in the air, and not a single mosquito could be seen around.

The pillars are connected with thin Luo Qi, and a thick hemp rope is hidden in the Luo Qi, which is just used to hang the lanterns.

While a few maids were fiddling with candles, the butler hurried over with a few cooks.

"Quick, take a look at it too, have you seen this ingredient before, can you cook it?"

"Hey, what is this, it's scary."

"Are you dead? Why can't you move?"

When the butler saw this, he knew it was a dead end, and these cooks didn't recognize the ingredients covered in armor.

Now he can only ask the person who delivered the ingredients for advice, but how can he have the nerve to ask?

If people know that the dignified Hedong Xie family can't even distinguish the ingredients, let alone how to cook, wouldn't they be ridiculed?

The housekeeper felt very helpless, but after asking many cooks, they didn't know each other, and many of them were even frightened by the appearance of the ingredients.

At this time, a cook suddenly said: "Uncle Qi, maybe the chef lady from Hao Kelai Restaurant knows how to cook."

When the butler heard this, his eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's right, that cook was trained by Mr. Wei. Others don't recognize this thing, but Mr. Wei must recognize it. Mr. Wei recognizes it. There is no reason for the cook not to know."

"Then I'll go and ask?" The cook stepped forward to recommend herself.

The housekeeper's expression changed, and he felt that it was best to ask the eldest lady Xie Yu about this matter. After all, she was Wei Cheng's cook.

Glancing at the ingredients in the wooden barrel, the butler thought for a while, and said to the cook beside him, "There are too many ingredients to eat, just pick out one, and I'll send it to the Wei Mansion in person, and ask for more advice." The way of cooking."

When the cooks heard that they were going to the Wei Mansion to ask for cooking skills, they all raised their hands to show their companionship.

The butler looked at the cook who first proposed to ask for advice, "You can go to the old man for a while."

Weifu.

After accepting the banquet tonight, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan went to take a shower and change clothes, ready to go.

At this time, there was still some time before the banquet, so the couple took Liu He to a teahouse not far from Xie's mansion to wait.

Liu He also got the invitation. What Wei Cheng didn't expect was that she wore the [Zixia] Hanfu given to her earlier today.

In the teahouse, Xie Yu had been waiting for a long time.

Knowing that Wei Cheng and Cai Yan were coming to the banquet tonight, she asked someone to prepare some cakes and tea in the restaurant.

When the aristocratic family treats guests to dinner, where there is real food, they usually drink and talk about things, so it is necessary to pad their stomachs.

The appearance of Liu He made Xie Yu a little stunned, especially the Hanfu on Liu He, which was Wei Cheng's craftsmanship at first glance. It was made of the same material as the Hanfu sold by Xiuhefang, but its shape was unique.

Xie Yu also wore a set of Hanfu today, and of course it was a gift from Wei Cheng. It was similar in style to Liu He's Hanfu, with one purple and one red. Just when she appeared at the entrance of the teahouse, it attracted the attention of many people.

Fortunately, Liu He wore a gold tassel mask on her face, otherwise, with her appearance, there would definitely be some commotion.

On the second floor, the four of them sat in separate seats, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan stood shoulder to shoulder, and Liu He sat opposite Wei Cheng.

Sitting next to Liu He, Xie Yu always felt that Liu He was weird and spent more time watching Wei Cheng than himself.

The four of them cooked tea and chatted, and the time passed quickly.

Seeing that the banquet was approaching, Xie Yu was about to stand up and greet everyone to go there together, when he saw the butler Qi Bo winking at him at the stairs.

Xie Yuxiu frowned, first nodded with Wei Cheng and the others, then walked towards Qi Bo, worried: "But what happened in the mansion?"

The housekeeper, Qi Bo, bowed his hands respectfully to Xie Yu, and then said awkwardly: "Back to Miss, everything is fine in the house, but..."

"Just what?" Xie Yu asked impatiently.

The butler Qi Bo looked at Wei Cheng and said, "It's just the ingredients sent by the distinguished guests. We don't know how to deal with them. It's nothing to do with it, but Tao Shijun specially ordered someone to invite everyone to eat that strange food tonight." Things, if you don’t submit them, I’m afraid it will be…”

Xie Yu didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, but it's not a small matter when you think about it. After all, it is related to the family's face. It's just that she didn't expect that the ingredients are so rare that the cook at home doesn't recognize them.

"Then why are you here?"

The housekeeper Qi Bo bowed his hands to Xie Yu, then looked at Wei Cheng, who had his back to them, and whispered, "Everyone knows that Mr. Wei is well-informed, and there is nothing Wei's cook can't cook, so I want to ask for advice. As for the guard envoy, I don't know what the lady wants?"

When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately nodded and replied, "That's fine, if he doesn't even know, I'm afraid I can only ask Tao Weng."

"..."

"The ingredient you mentioned should be called lobster."

After listening to the butler's description, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "The cooking method is also simple. It can be steamed, boiled, or sliced ​​and eaten raw in the same way as eating fish sticks. However, my favorite is charcoal grilling. Add some Garlic, tsk tsk."

None of the people present had ever eaten lobster, so they couldn't imagine what kind of delicacy steamed lobster with garlic vermicelli was.

However, the housekeeper and Xie Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Wei Cheng knew that kind of ingredients.

At this moment, Wei Cheng suddenly remembered something, looked at Cai Yan and said, "Yan'er, do you want to try something new?"

Wei Cheng suddenly remembered that he went to the seafood market in the morning to buy a batch of fresh ingredients, and they were storing them in the space right now.

Hearing what Wei Cheng said, several people were surprised.

The butler asked excitedly, "Your envoy also has the lobster ingredients here?"

Wei Cheng chuckled, waved his hands and said, "It's just lobsters. I have not only lobsters, but also abalones, sea cucumbers, blue crabs... as long as Xuzhou has them, I have them. It's so strange."

Hearing this, the butler suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He hastily explained: "I don't know, the scribes from Xuzhou said that the sea goods were not easy to transport, and many died along the way. Only a few lobsters survived when they arrived in the east of the river, and the rest were rotten and spoiled, making them inedible. .”

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, "That's true. There is no specific delivery device for seafood, and there is really no way to send it to the east of the river. It is already amazing to survive a few lobsters."

"Yes, yes, I just don't know the seafood here, but?" the housekeeper Qi Bo laughed.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng didn't know what he was thinking.

No matter what Tao Qian thought, using ingredients that Hedong did not have to make things difficult for Mrs. Xie, without telling him how to cook, was a kind of prestige, and others would take the initiative, and Mrs. Xie had no reason not to return it.

Looking at Xie Yu expectantly, Wei Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "That's fine, I'll play a play with you guys."
