Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

"Salt grains?"

"Candy?"

"That drink from earlier?"

Seeing the objects displayed in front of you.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but stand up abruptly.

His eyes were filled with shock!

Who doesn't know that sugar and salt are scarce commodities?!

As for the wine, it is an exceptionally fine brew.

The worst part is that this salt isn't in blocks, it's in small grains!

"I, Mi Zhu, have been a merchant for many years, and I have never seen... such fine salt!"

Mi Zhu stared intently at the grains of salt in front of him, his face filled with disbelief.

He initially thought Su Chen was joking.

But he had already tasted it.

This is salt!

Moreover, it's salt without any impurities whatsoever!

Not to mention how finely he had made it, he had never even seen such pure white salt grains before!

Not to mention, there was candy right next to it!

Sugar cubes...

This is something you might not even see in the palace!

But now Su Chen is actually saying he wants to use these things to do business?!

"But salt and sugar are so scarce."

"These were originally provided by the government; how can they be used for private commerce?"

"Even if I, Mi Zhu, had the greatest courage in the world, I would absolutely not dare to do such a thing!"

Although Mi Zhu was very tempted, he still cupped his hands and spoke without hesitation.

It's not surprising that this thing is now in Cao Cao's hands.

However, if they are sold directly to the public, there will be many problems later!

Let alone Mi Zhu, who had a head.

Even if someone had a brain, they wouldn't dare to make money in such a dangerous way!

Mi Zhu was well aware that Cao Cao was short of money.

Therefore, Cao Cao would definitely stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

In the future, they might just shift all the blame onto Mi Zhu!

On the surface, this is a business negotiation, but in reality, it's a plot to kill Mi Zhu!

"Zizhong, don't worry too much."

Salt and sugar were originally quite scarce.

"But our army has mastered the method of making salt and sugar, making them is a piece of cake."

"Right now, our troops throughout Yanzhou carry salt and sugar with them with every meal."

"Such a fortunate event, how can it not be bestowed upon the whole world?"

"That's why I need your help, Zizhong."

At this moment, Cao Cao slowly stood up and spoke calmly.

Mi Zhu simply chuckled and agreed.

Have you mastered the methods of salt and sugar production?

Ghost letter!

Mi Zhu had never seen such high-quality salt grains in his entire life.

If it's not a royal special supply, what else could it be?

"This matter is far too difficult; I am merely an ordinary merchant."

"I absolutely cannot accept it!"

Mi Zhu felt utterly helpless, and even felt like crying.

It would be better to tell him and let him express his opinion on Cao Cao's army entering Xuzhou.

"How about this..."

"I am truly incapable of handling salt and sugar."

"But if you, Master Sikong, have any of this fine wine, I can help you sell it for a good price."

"I am not very talented, but I do know that some wealthy merchants and noble families enjoy fine wines."

"Such fine wine, they will surely pay a high price for it!"

Having no other choice, Mi Zhu had to resort to using this wine.

In any case, with such fine wine, Cao Cao probably only had four or five jars at most.

Two jars were taken out today, and there won't be many left.

If all else fails, he will accept his bad luck and pay Cao Cao for the wine out of his own pocket according to the price.

It's much better than doing something that could cost you your head.

"It seems that Mr. Mi does not believe it."

"Since that's the case..."

Su Chen slowly stood up and said:

"Gongming, give them a performance!"

"Take them to see!"

Having said that, Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward:

"Please."

Although Mi Zhu was somewhat confused, he still strode out the door.

Chen Deng was clearly also shocked.

He followed closely behind.

He wanted to see what Su Chen was up to.

However, after the two followed Xu Huang into a spacious room...

I was totally dumbfounded!

The room is divided into two parts!

One section consisted entirely of burlap sacks in two colors.

One of the burlap sacks, in one of the colors, was completely filled with the fine salt from earlier!

The other burlap sack was filled entirely with white sugar cubes!

The other part of the room was filled with black jars.

A strong aroma of alcohol wafted through the air.

It smells exactly like the wine we just drank!

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng were completely dumbfounded.

The bottles of wine on the far right are all stockpiled wines that Su Chen had previously brewed.

The jars inside were all empty.

As for the salt and sugar, they were made by Cao Cao's army in a rush during this period.

Both of them were people of status.

But I've never seen such a grand scene before!

This isn't a room at all!

This is practically a gold mine!

"Can we sell these quantities?"

Just then, Su Chen's voice drifted over.

Mi Zhu stared in disbelief, frozen in place for a long time.

He even thought he was dreaming.

What he saw before him made Mi Zhu immediately deny his previous thoughts.

This salt and sugar is definitely not from royalty!

Even if you put all the salt and sugar in the entire world together, it probably wouldn't be this much!

How did Cao Cao manage to do it?

Could it be that he really has the method to make salt and sugar?!

If that's the case, then we should start selling these three items all over the world.

The amount of money they could earn was simply countless!

"Mr. Ruomi is confident that he can begin selling these three items."

"These can be given to you directly."

"The estimated price will be given to you separately by Xun Lingjun later."

"As for the price you sell it at, that's up to you to decide."

Su Chen threw out another sentence.

Now they were waiting for Mi Zhu to speak again.

If Mi Zhu hesitates again this time, it might not just be a matter of salt and sugar.

Instead, he was determined to side with Liu Bei and rebel against Cao Cao.

Since that's the case, there's no need to keep him around.

Other merchants may not be as good at business as him, but they are not unusable.

"well!"

"The Minister of Works serves the Han Dynasty, the nation, and its people!"

"To have resolved such a momentous matter for the world!"

"On behalf of all the people, I thank you, Minister!"

After saying this, Mi Zhu immediately bowed in the direction of Cao Cao.

"Why thank me?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and pointed at Su Chen, saying:

"These are the methods for making salt and sugar, and also the methods for making fine wine."

"They were all made by Jingming."

"Without Jingming, how could I have such fine salt and sugar?"

Jingming? Su Chen?!

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng looked at Su Chen with surprise.

These incredible techniques actually came from the hands of this little boy who has just turned twenty?

But this was the second time Cao Cao had emphasized it, and it certainly didn't seem like he was joking.

"this……"

"Mr. Jingming possesses such extraordinary skills!"

"Leave this to me!"

Mi Zhu gasped and hurriedly said:

"Please rest assured, Master Sikong, I will certainly not let you down!"

Even Chen Deng's gaze towards Su Chen became extremely strange.

Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and the others, who were not far away, secretly sneered.

Look at Chen Deng's appearance.

Almost exactly the same as they were back then!

"Speaking of which..."

"Lord Sikong, you've summoned me here today, it seems, to discuss my younger sister's marriage to Jingming?"
