Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 379 The Uninvited Cao Cao

In the next two or three days, maybe the relationship at the end of the year, Cao Cao also has things that he can't finish.Sometimes breakfast is canceled directly, and afternoon tea... is also reduced to about two quarters of an hour.

"You know? Cao Sikong's attitude has improved a lot in the past two days, and he will greet other courtiers and say a few polite words. Although the whole person is still cold, but after all, he is a little more agile, and he is no longer the kind of rejection. The feeling of being thousands of miles away!" Liu Xie still came to play, and at the same time talked to Wang Yong about the affairs of the court, and speaking of it, today is indeed the day of the court.

"But suddenly I can understand her, why she has a cold look." Liu Xie immediately remembered something, "Just now she showed a certain kind of goodwill, and many ministers around her approached her, including Lu Zhi and Dong Cheng. Recommend some young heroes from major families to her, but what is strange is that Wang Yun, who was also keen on this way before, did not participate."

Of course you won't participate, after all, the person she recommends is right in front of you.Wang Yong couldn't help wondering, what would Liu Xie think if he knew this?Go against Cao Cao directly, or go directly to Wang Yun to settle accounts?Of course, the most likely thing is to settle accounts with yourself!
When it was time for afternoon tea, Cao Cao still didn't allow himself to go in, so Xu Chu helped him take things in.

"Should I complain?" Wang Yong couldn't help muttering when he turned to leave. Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten to return the Seven Star Knife to him.Keeping it like this feels like a token of love.

On the other side, Cao Cao was drinking tea and eating cookies while complaining: "You know? Today, that old fellow Dong Cheng recommended a young man from Jizhou to me, a 15-year-old who just reached the crown During this period of time, she has recommended people of all age groups, but 15 years old is too much, right?!"

It is said that some older people would like this kind of young man who is like a child. It is said that there will be a feeling of immorality, but she obviously cannot understand that feeling, after all, she has not given birth yet.There are indeed two children in the family, but they are not her own after all.

"Well, it's really bad..." Xu Chu replied blankly, she didn't know how to answer such a topic, after all, she was also an unmarried girl.The key is that her EQ is really not high.

"Speaking of Zhongkang, you seem to be talking like this these days..." Cao Cao couldn't help but frowned. Before, he would occasionally let Xun Yu come over, or Wang Yong was by his side. The former could chat unscrupulously, and the latter occasionally He can say some humorous things, but this Xu Chu... really doesn't know how to speak.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates are not very good at talking..." Xu Chu admitted frankly, in fact, asking her to come over as a company should be a mistake in itself, right?

"Okay..." Cao Cao couldn't say anything, but if he didn't speak at all, the afternoon tea would be a little less pleasant.

"Speaking of which, the Chinese New Year is only seven days away... Time flies so fast!" Cao Cao looked at the ceiling and sighed.

Last year, Dongjun was suddenly attacked by Lu Bu, coupled with drought and locust plagues, he was overwhelmed.Unexpectedly, after more than a year, not only the military ration problem was solved, but also several industries were added, and the sphere of influence expanded from Yanzhou to Yuzhou.

The two children also started to become officials, and Cao Ang went to Cao Ren's side. It is estimated that they will not be able to come back to celebrate the New Year this year.Xiahou Dun was guarding outside again, while Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan, Le Jin and Li Dian were not there.

"By the way, when the chef delivered the meal just now, I hope I can pass on a message saying that I hope to take a day off tomorrow!" Xu Chu suddenly remembered something, so he reported to Cao Caohui.

"Oh, did you tell me what the reason is?" Cao Cao was curious. Wang Yong rarely asked for leave, so he asked back.

"It is said that tomorrow is the new year, and I need to take a day off to prepare some ingredients and desserts for worshiping the Kitchen God." Xu Chu replied.

"What year is Xiaonian? Is there such a custom?" Cao Cao couldn't help but think about it, but he really couldn't think of where to celebrate Xiaonian.

"This, the subordinates don't know, but it shouldn't be a formal custom..." Xu Chu tilted his head.

"In that case, let him take a day off!" Cao Cao felt that if his subordinates really needed to rest, he had to approve it.

The next day, the entire yamen became a little deserted.Wang Yong is not here, Wen Ming is no longer there, and Liu Xie will not come. After Wei Yan learned pastry according to the agreement, he also went to serve in the army.

The helper is in charge of the lunch. Fortunately, Wang Yong prepared the menu yesterday, and even the afternoon tea has been arranged.

"Culinary skills... are so-so..." After lunch, Cao Cao didn't look forward to the afternoon tea any more, "Why don't the back kitchen prepare it tonight, I'll cook some dishes and eat with Pi'er Meal...send someone to tell her."

"I obey!" Xu Chu nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Chu came to Cao Cao regretfully, and explained to her: "Young Master Pi said that seven issues of the newspaper are about to be published, and she has to review the manuscripts. It seems that there have been a lot of manuscripts recently. look, so tonight I guess I will have to fight in the newspaper office all night."

With the completion of the construction of the newspaper office, there are office areas and rest areas, as well as a small dining hall.However, Cao Pi and Zhang Song's lunch and afternoon tea were still provided by the back kitchen of Sikong Mansion.

"That's it..." Cao Cao suddenly felt a little bored.Since Cao Pi served as the president of the newspaper, he often came home very late, and there was not much communication between mother and daughter.However, seeing that the newspaper is getting better and better, and the quality of each issue is very good, the mother is also very relieved.

It's just that when I think about going back to that home where I'm alone, I always feel deserted and uncomfortable.And if it's just her alone, there's no need to cook the dishes herself, although for a while, that's how she came here.

"Forget it... Occasionally, I need to take a break..." Cao Cao stopped the pen in his hand, feeling a little tired, more because of the loneliness and coldness in his heart.He simply put down his work, left the yamen directly, and went home...

"Yes, just pull the candy bar like this, and I will close it!" On Wang Yong's Zhuangzi, he is closing the boiled malt candy with the help of his servants.The so-called candied melon can be made in two ways, one is solid and the other is hollow. What he wants to do is the hollow candied melon.

Stretch the candy bar, fold it, and stretch it again. After doing this four times, use both hands to close the candy bar into a hollow cylindrical structure.Then take it outside and harden with the help of cold air.

Before it is completely hardened, use the hemp rope to turn a few times, cut a piece, and then cut another piece at a distance, so that the cut is a hollow spherical shape, plus vertical lines, which looks like It's a small pumpkin.

Put the cut candied melon on the fried sesame seeds and roll it a few times, and the final shape of the candied melon will come out.

"Wow, this is Tanggua! It looks pretty good, but isn't it just caramel?" Xun Yu complained directly. Fortunately, she came back from work early, but Tanggua turned out to be nothing more than that.

"Don't worry, this is just worshiping the Kitchen God, other desserts are indispensable!" Wang Yong laughed.

"Oh? What desserts do you have?" At this time, Cao Cao walked into the courtyard with a smile under the leadership of his servants.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!Okay, let’s not talk about it, there are two chapters in the live broadcast room to be coded...
