Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 87
It's not that Cao Cao is stingy.

In his previous life, he had two divine horses. The first one was called Jueying, which was a black horse. When Wancheng conquered Zhang Xiu, he rode away and was shot in the eye and died. Later, he rode a yellow and white horse with four hooves. It is like gold, and it runs as fast as lightning, so it is named Claw Yellow Feidian.

After having money in this life, I bought two famous northern horses, one yellow and one black, at a high price. One of them was given to Wu Song, and the other rode by himself. extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, she was ridden away by Fang Jinzhi, making Lao Cao dumbfounded, so he had no choice but to ride the old horse she left behind.

There was a general shortage of horses in the Song Dynasty. Because Shandong and Hebei were close to the North Kingdom, and horse administration was implemented, it was not obvious. After passing Xuzhou and going south, the value of horses suddenly increased.Deng Yuanjue and others are all well-known heroes in the south, they traveled thousands of miles to take revenge, and they could only walk on their legs. They snatched a few old horses from the army camp, and all of them were elated, which shows how rare a horse is.

But in Cao Cao's eyes, this old horse with high teeth is really tasteless.It doesn't run fast, and it doesn't take long to walk. If you don't ride it, it will be faster than your legs.

Cao Cao refused Luan Tingyu and Li Kui's request to change horses, and rode on the old horse by himself.In any case, one's own weight is always lighter, which is considered an act of respect for the elderly.

There is still a journey of more than five hundred miles to Yishui County, which could have been reached in three days, but now because the old horse can't run fast, it can only be endured slowly. After walking seventy or eighty miles a day, the old horse is full of mouthfuls. Caught white foam, wailing and refusing to go again, Cao Cao couldn't bear to be beaten and forced to drive, so he had to find a place to rest.

On the way, I passed through Yizhou city. I wanted to go in and sell the horse instead of buying a good one. Unexpectedly, the city was full of armored soldiers. People who entered and exited had to be carefully checked. Sighing: "Needless to say, it must be the Pengcheng incident. I don't need to make more troubles, and I will bypass this city and go straight to pick up Li Kui's mother and return home quickly."

The three of them didn't dare to walk on the main road, but walked slowly around the small road, so as not to eat and sleep in the open air, and eat some hard work of going out. They walked until the eighth day before they reached Yishui County.

At noon that day, when I passed a village, I saw a bamboo pole, and Li Kui lifted up a side of Li Kui. Suddenly, Li Kui felt the wine worms in his stomach come out of his throat, grabbed his tongue and went crazy, so he wiped the sweat from his face and screamed. Said: "Brother, the sun is so hot that the iron cow is almost cooked this way, it's good to buy a glass of water and wine to quench your thirst."

Cao Cao also felt thirsty, nodded and said: "If you don't say it, I have exactly the same intention."

The three of them got off their horses in front of the door, and a fat and white man from the hotel hurriedly came out to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Guests have traveled a long way, come in and rest quickly. If you want to drink, the shop has good old wine. If you want to eat, there are chicken, fish, soup cakes and rice."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and took the reins of the horses in the hands of the three of them, and went to the back of the house, and said incessantly, "Guest officer, please enter the store and sit down. The villain will fetch some clean water to drink the horses first, and then come to serve immediately."

Luan Tingyu shouted: "Feed the horse some fine ingredients, and I'll pay you once I send it." The fat man responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the villain will take care of himself."

The three of them entered the shop by themselves and sat down, and saw that although the shop was not big, there was no place in the corner of the floor that was untidy.The tables and chairs used are either bamboo or wood, although they are ordinary, they are all clean and bright.There was a row of small wine jars on the window sill, filled with flowers of various colors, which made the shop smell more fragrant, and the three of them praised: "What a restaurant, the servings are neat."

Luan Tingyu smiled and said, "Following my elder brother all this time, I have also seen many famous shops, and none of them have the care of his family."

Cao Cao looked around and nodded, "Although it's a village shop, it has a special flavor."

The three of them sat down at a table and opened their clothes to cool off. At this time, the fat boss came in with a smile on his face, holding a big bowl in both hands, which was full of colorful fruits. It is tender lotus root, the pink one is peach, and the green one is melon. The melon and root are all cut into large slices. What is especially rare is that there is a lotus flower with dew on the side of the bowl. The cold things, the guest officials use some indiscriminately, and it’s good to kill the heat.”

When the three of Cao Cao saw it, their mouths were full of body fluid, and they cheered in unison: "You boss, you are so meticulous."

Li Kui couldn't wait to stretch out his hand, first he grabbed a peach and offered it to his brother, then he grabbed a piece of melon and handed it to Luan Tingyu, then he grabbed the melon and fruit with all his hands, regardless of whether he was sweet, sour, soft or crunchy, he just stuffed it into his mouth, and he ate it like a mouthful. The water flowed all over his mouth and chest.

Luan Tingyu said disgustedly: "Tie Niu, eat such sloppy food, the sweet water will dry up later, it will be sticky and greasy, and it will attract flies."

The fat boss quickly laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I've asked everyone to cook hot soup. Everyone, eat the fruit first to whet your appetite. It's time to drink and eat. When you're full, the soup won't be hot anymore. Take a hot bath as soon as possible, and after washing, just go to sleep on the reclining chair under the big tree in the courtyard, and I will make a pot of hot tea for you to drink, so that the wind blows under the armpit, and the body is cool, and the sun will not be hot until evening Now, the guest officials have recovered enough, and it will not be too late to go on the road, five or seven miles to the east, and you will be the county seat, just in time for accommodation."

Cao Cao heard that his arrangement was proper, so he couldn't help boasting: "What a boss, how many famous shops have I passed by while traveling? I have never seen you so considerate of customers."

The fat boss laughed more happily when he heard this: "The only reason to open the door to do business is to earn money from the guests. If the customers who are not serving are satisfied, they will not feel at ease when they get the money. Therefore, the villain has nothing to do in his spare time. Think hard about how to teach guest officials to feel more at ease."

When Cao Cao heard this, he stood in awe, clasped his fists and said, "I've been disrespected. If I didn't understand the world and have a good heart, how could I have such knowledge? Everyone in the world can be like you, know their duty, and do their duty. Officials think about how to be happy with the people, and generals think about how to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the common people think about respecting the old, loving the young, and making a living. That is really the world of Datong, the kingdom of heaven on earth.”

After hearing this, the fat boss withdrew his smile and sighed, "Oh, I can't be a guest official. In fact, Xiao Ke also has selfish intentions in doing this. He wants to be kind to others and accumulate more merits, so as to clear up some karma for my brother."

Li Kui was very curious when he heard this, and said while chewing the peaches: "Oh? Did your elder brother do something evil? I want you to take this trouble for him."

The fat boss smiled wryly and said: "If it wasn't for seeing that everyone is armed with weapons and is also a hero in the world, how would the villain dare to tell the whole story? Speaking of my brother, he loved learning guns and sticks since he was a child, and he refused to stay at home. As long as you are wandering in the rivers and lakes. Now you have joined the gang in Liangshanbo and are in charge of the hotel at the foot of the mountain. If there are any heroes who come to Dazhai to join the gang, he has to check and verify that they are correct. .”

When he said this, Cao Cao suddenly thought of someone: "Ah, it turned out to be your brother of 'Dry Land Hulu' Zhu Gui. Didn't the flood flood the Dragon King Temple? We were in Jiangzhou to try Cai Jiu and the dog-killing officer together. , and saved Song Jiang, and did not part until Mount Mangdang.”

The fat boss opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty invited you to participate in that shocking event in Jiangzhou? My younger brother, Zhu Fu, was also taught some martial arts by his brother, and later he worshiped Li Yun, the head of the local capital, as his master." , because the master nicknamed 'Blue-eyed Tiger', the younger brother laughed when he saw people, and the locals also nicknamed the younger brother 'Smiling Tiger'. "

Cao Cao said: "These are my two brothers, 'Iron Stick' Luan Tingyu and 'Black Whirlwind' Li Kui. Li Kui is from your hometown and lives in Baizhang Village of this county. The three of us are here to pick up his mother. As for Next, it is Wu Zhi, the capital of Yanggu County."

Zhu Fu was already surprised when he heard the names of Luan Tingyu and Li Kui, but he was even more shocked when he heard Cao Cao's application.

Cao Cao quickly helped him up and said, "Since you are brother Zhu Gui, we are not outsiders, so there is no need to be polite."

Luan Tingyu smiled and said: "My brother is the most approachable and likes to make friends with heroes. Since you are also a famous hero, today's wine will inevitably cost you."

Zhu Fuyuan's face was almost full of smiles, and he said again and again: "What are these? There are many good men in the world who want to see the elder brother. How lucky is the younger brother? Wait a moment, brothers, there is still a 25-year-old altar buried in the courtyard of the younger brother." The aged wine is just right for the three elder brothers."

Li Kui jumped up when he heard this, wiped his hands full of juice on his clothes and said, "We are all from the same village, how can we see you busy? Tie Niu will go dig that jar of old wine with you."

There are different teachings: a beauty snatches my Ferrari, how can I repay it: old Xiali.Turned dizzy and drove home, and then discussed business with Zhu Fu.
