"Good! That's great!"
Cao Cao was delighted that his doubts had been answered.
At the same time, he admired Xu Wen even more.
This Brother Xu not only knew astronomy and geography, he was also proficient in literature and martial arts, but he was also so familiar with human nature.
Truly a great talent!
Weirdo!
"Let's put this matter behind us. What happens to Zhao Zilong and Cao Cao has nothing to do with us.”
Xu Wen finished the last mouthful of tea in his teacup.
A trace of yearning appeared on his face.
"Now can we finally talk about business?"”
Hearing Xu Wen's words, Guo Jia's face was filled with confusion.
Business?
What business?
Why didn't he know?
But why did the Prime Minister across the table nod like a chicken pecking at rice?
Did he take the wrong medicine?
No!
Guo Jia was shocked.
He suddenly remembered the day he accompanied the Prime Minister to the tea stall.
The two of them had made a bet that day, and it seemed to be about some business.
Could it be…
The Prime Minister lost?
However, if the Prime Minister lost, did he call him 'second father'?
If he didn't hear it, it would be a great regret in his life!
And what was that business that could cover half of the world's wealth?
Guo Jia's heart was filled with doubt.
As he was thinking, a gentle breeze brushed his face, and a fragrance assailed his nose.
In the flowerbed, all kinds of flowers competed with each other.
However, Guo Jia also saw a kind of grass with a strange shape in the flowerbed.
The leaves were wide and long, tender green, but it was a grass he had never seen before.
Why was this grass planted in the flowerbed?
And that spot was the one with the most fertile soil. It was even more well-protected than those flowers!
With Brother Xu's personality, this must be some great secret.
Could it be related to the business that Brother Xu mentioned?
However, Guo Jia did not know that it was actually tobacco cultivated by Xu Wen.
And this batch of tobacco was finally about to mature!
"If we're talking about this business, we should leave.”
Xu Wen said as he pulled Brother Meng into the inner room.
The structure of the tea shed was simple.
There were only five places in total: the flower garden beside the tea stall, a large open space in the backyard, five tea tables under the tea shed, the inner room, and the latrine.
Xu Wen had decorated the inner room very warmly.
Even the tea set was made of mahogany according to modern standards.
It felt thick and solid.
After Brother Meng entered the room, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Brother Xu, your shabby house has a whole new world! Even Cao Cao would not be able to live in such a palace.”
Brother Meng sighed with emotion.
Although he was a formidable person, he was usually very simple, so even his bedroom was only simple furniture.
Compared to Xu Wen's inner room, it was like the stars compared to the bright moon!
"Brother Meng must be joking. It is rumored that Cao Cao is thrifty, but it is definitely a hundred times better than my shabby house.”
Xu Wen pretended to be humble.
However, he was secretly pleased with himself.
After all, they are ancient people. You have never seen modern furniture before, right?
After the two of them sat down, Xu Wen asked,""I wonder if Brother Hu is doing well? I saw that he didn't come with me today."
Brother Meng laughed." Thank you for your concern, Brother Xu. The tiger is fine. He left the city with the caravan this morning."”
Xu Wen nodded, brewed some tea, and took out a pack of compressed biscuits.
He saw the compressed biscuits on the table. Although they were rough and ugly, they were fragrant!
It was a hundred times more fragrant than gold and silver!
In that instant, Cao Cao couldn't take his eyes off him.
"As I said before, we'll split it 20:80. You'll pay, and I'll provide the technology. Brother Meng, you'll be in charge of the entire process.”
"Moreover, there's no need to worry about not being able to sell it. At the very least, those dukes are in urgent need of this item!”
Brother Meng nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Brother Xu is right!"
However, he muttered to himself.
Brother Xu, even though you are far-sighted and resourceful, you have underestimated the heroes of the world!
If I wasn't Cao Cao and was that traveling merchant, I'm afraid that once this item is discovered by the various vassals, my life would be in danger!
"However, if the various dukes discover this item's wondrous use, they might do something bad to Brother Meng.”
Xu Wen added.
Cao Cao was stunned.
Has Brother Xu already thought of this?
It seems that Brother Xu is not underestimating the heroes of the world, but I, Cao Cao, have underestimated Brother Xu!
"Then, Brother Xu, how can you sell these compressed biscuits while ensuring my safety?”
Cao Cao wanted to hear how Xu Wen would solve this problem.
Xu Wen secretly laughed in his heart. In the end, it was Brother Meng. His brain was not too bright!
Let me give you some pointers!
"Brother Meng, do you know that compressed biscuits look like divine items, but the process of making them is actually very simple?”
Hearing Xu Wen's words, Cao Cao was stunned.
Simple?
Such a divine item was actually easy to make? How was this possible?
"Seeing Brother Meng's confused expression, you must have thought that it was difficult to make compressed biscuits.”
"Then I'll make it clear today!”
Xu Wen said as he stared in the direction of Xuchang City.
"The first batch of compressed biscuits must be sold to Cao Cao!”
"Why?"
Although Cao Cao was secretly pleased, he was still puzzled.
Brother Xu and I, Cao Cao, shouldn't have any friendship, so why did you say that you can only sell it to me, Cao Cao?
"Because once the compressed biscuits are made, the production process will be deciphered. At that time, not to mention Cao Cao, even the princes of the world will know how to make compressed biscuits if they see it and study it a little!”
"So this is not a long-term business. It's just the capital for you and me to earn our first bucket of gold!”
"And what your Brother Meng needs to do is to make enough compressed biscuits for 100,000 people to eat for half a month, then sell them all to Cao Cao and earn his first bucket of gold!”
"Cao Cao will definitely buy this batch of compressed biscuits because he is a smart person.”
After Xu Wen finished speaking, he looked at Brother Meng.
He thought to himself, Brother Meng is a merchant, so he is naturally willing to do this.
It just so happened that he really needed to accumulate wealth now.
However, in this chaotic world, he did not have many connections. Why not let Brother Meng run errands? It was also mutually beneficial!
Cao Cao looked at Xu Wen and pondered.
"This person is really smart. Every step is calculated on the spot without the slightest mistake!”
"Next, two things! The first was to let Guo Jia be in charge of compressing the biscuits, and he would use Brother Xu's plan to persuade Zhao Zilong to surrender!”
