After Cheng Yu left, Cao Cao followed Xu Chu to the Guo family's kitchen.
"Why are you eating here?"
"My lord, you'll know when you go in.”
As Xu Chu spoke, he pushed open the door of the kitchen. A comfortable warm wind blew in his face, mixed with the thick fragrance of pepper, making him feel relaxed and happy.
"I see!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up the moment he entered.
He saw a large iron pot in the middle of the fire. The flames burned, causing the temperature of the entire kitchen to rise. He exclaimed,"Not only does this way of eating not make the food cold, but it also makes people feel warm…It's really amazing!”
Isn't that so?
This was a popular way of eating two thousand years later. How could it be bad?
Guo Yun smiled. The butcher knife in her hand was extremely skilled. She quickly sliced up the meat and handed it over." My lord, Old Xu, you guys eat first. I'll slice two more plates…"
"What is this?"
Cao Cao didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down cross-legged on the stage and looked at the exquisite white grain beside him.
"This, my lord, this is refined salt.”
Xu Chu was a regular customer, so he explained casually," This is called, um, soy sauce…This is called vinegar. Anyway, they can all be eaten. It tastes better when mixed together…"
"This is salt?"
Cao Cao was dumbfounded. He stretched out his hand and licked his tongue.
Salty!
It was indeed the taste of salt.
However, it melted in his mouth without a trace of sand. Compared to salt, it was the difference between a Diao Chan and a flower!
Cao Cao couldn't believe it and dipped his hand in the water again.
He licked it.
It repeated three to four times, making Xu Chu feel disgusted."My lord, what are you doing? That's for mixing sauces."
"You know nothing about hammers!"
Cao Cao jumped up excitedly.
"Aiya!"
His head hit the beam.
Xu Chu was speechless.
Guo Yun was speechless.
Guo Yun was wearing a linen apron and holding a meat plate in both hands. She looked at Cao Cao, who was covering his head and winking, and asked in confusion,"My lord, is this…spicy?”
"It's salty."
Xu Chu added.
"Uh, my lord, that's salt, not white sugar. You can't eat it directly.”
Guo Yun didn't think too much about it. She put down the last two plates of meat and beckoned Cao Cao to sit down." This is a specialty of the Xiongnu, fat beef…This cow isn't like the cows here. They can't be used for farming. My lord, you know about this. This is corn…This is potato, also from the Xiongnu. Yes, this lotus root, from the Xiongnu, this…"
"O__O…"
Were the Xiongnu's resources so abundant?
One had to know that the Han Dynasty prohibited the killing of cattle.
Pork was not popular either. The pigs of this era were not castrated pigs. They had an extremely pungent smell and were difficult to eat.
"Are they all from the Xiongnu?"
Cao Cao rolled his eyes at him and asked,""Alright, don't be so stingy. You've already saved the Great Han people thousands of heads and eaten hundreds of heads, so I won't punish you…To be honest, where did this salt come from?”
" Are they really from the Xiongnu?!"
"Definitely."
Cao Cao glanced at Xu Chu and instantly felt as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Guo Yun was speechless.
"I extracted this from coarse salt.”
Guo Yun looked at Cao Cao's expression and explained,"" I know salt is expensive, but it's mixed with gravel. It'll affect the taste of the sauce…"
Cao Cao's eyes widened.
This was too unbelievable!
What kind of genius was he?
It's fine if you're good at strategy and agriculture, but you're the younger brother of the genius Guo Jia.
However, this kitchen was usually a private place for women and children. It was fine that they had come up with a way of eating that had never been seen before.
Now, even salt was being refined?
Could it be that he really is the reincarnation of an immortal from the heavens and descended to this chaotic world to help me complete my great cause?
"Cough, cough."
Cao Cao felt that he had lost his composure. He coughed a few times to resolve the awkwardness and asked,"Mystic Immortal, did you really refine this salt?”
Guo Yun nodded naturally."
"Yes, I am."
"Putting aside the fact that salt is mixed with gravel, if I'm not careful, it will cause the dishes to be salty to death. Therefore, when I have nothing to do in the kitchen, I think about how to refine salt, and then I have this salt, yes, refined salt.”
Guo Yun replied with a serious expression, her eyes sneakily looking at Cao Cao."My lord, although the abstruse immortal was demoted to the kitchen, he didn't slack off!”
Cao Cao:||| )︴”
After hearing this, Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded.
This Guo Xuanxian was only eighteen years old, about the same age as his two sons. They were both humans, but why was there such a huge gap between them?
Cao Pi was not outstanding, but he was talented.
But compared to Guo Yunyi…
As expected, other people's children were outstanding!
No, how could this be called outstanding? It was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
"I really didn't think that abstruse immortals would have studied this dao.”
Cao Cao's emotions were genuine.
Wasn't this nonsense?
If I hadn't transmigrated, I would have graduated from New Oriental, a famous university!
It was awesome.
Guo Yun adjusted her voice and started spouting nonsense,""Actually, my dream is to be a chef!”
What?
"Why?"
"I'm full!"
Cao Cao was stunned. Then, he heard Xu Chu, who was gorging himself, stammer,""My lord, then don't reward Dr. Mystic Immortal's subordinate. Isn't the food supervisor good?”
Cao Cao: "w(Д)w"
Guo Yun was speechless.
Guo Yun's face darkened. The Food Supervisor was the chief food officer. He was probably there to serve the royal family's meals. How could Xu Chu think of that?
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Go out and wait!”
"Here."
Xu Chu looked unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's solemn expression.
Guo Yun was startled, not knowing why Cao Cao was so serious.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice,"
"Mystic Immortal, is it difficult to implement your extraction method?”
