Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

A large amount of Digum cane was accumulated in Yizhou, and the craft of making sugar was originally owned by the Dahan.

If there is a difference in today's sugar making, one is that some seasonings are added to make the sugar not only sweet, but also more flavorful.

Another, that is, sugar making is included in the Yizhou prefecture's own work, the master in charge of sugar making is awarded the seventh-rank officials, and a group of sugar-making helpers under his command are all judged according to their technical skills. No, graded.

Nowadays, in Yizhou, there are several sets of sugar-making processes, and several middle-aged experts have built carts for pressing out sugar juice, large tanks for rinsing raw sugar, and large stoves for boiling sugar.

Each of these people will have a basic production requirement. If the quality exceeds this requirement, they will receive additional rewards. Whether their grade can be improved or not is directly related to this.

And the master of the seventh-grade official has become the quality supervisor of all sugars, overseeing both the quantity and the quality.

It is about everyone's status and wages, and almost everyone works hard!

Soon, bags of white sugar were made.

More than half of these sugars were sent to the army of the Kushan Empire, and a small half was taken back to the court, distributed to officials, and even, as a reward, to the Xianbei and Huns who contributed countless cattle, sheep and horses to the Great Wei.

In the court hall, Cao Yang specially feasted the ministers in order to show the breakthrough in the quantity of the sugar industry in Dawei!

Everyone was delighted about this feast, but they didn't feel anything special. After all, everyone had seen a lot of things in the past when the Son of Heaven had invited ministers. It was all those things, nothing new.

After everyone was seated, after chatting with Cao Yang and bragging for a while, the atmosphere was a little warmer.

Above the feast, eating is always secondary, mainly drinking, and boasting.

Once the wine is finished, everyone will be able to take advantage of the wine and come out to brag, and the atmosphere will rise after this brag.

Let some beauties dance, and the atmosphere will go to the extreme.

However, something is clearly not right today.

After everyone chatted awkwardly for a while, Ju Shou couldn't hold back: "Your Majesty, is there any alcohol? Smoke is coming out of your throat...

Cao Yang smiled slightly: "Come on, give you sugar water!

"Sugar water?" Ju Shou was immediately sluggish, "Your Majesty, when you entertain the ministers, you won't fool everyone with sugar water, right?"

Cao Yang laughed: "There is wine, but it's not yet time to serve it! Today I'm not listening to you talking about bullshit, but, let you eat and drink!"

Everyone immediately whispered.

Jia Xu stared blankly at Lu Su next to him: "Zijing, would it be interesting to eat and drink without chatting and bragging about a banquet? Can we still call a banquet?

Lu Su smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's banquet is clearly something, just wait and see the show.

However, after everyone took a sip of sugar water, the unwillingness just now disappeared!

"It's so sweet!

"Sweet and fragrant! It seems that there is a milk flavor in the sugar!

"Mellow fragrance! Your Majesty, this is the top grade!"

"Wrong! It's time to go to the top! That is, the best! 35

Cao Yang then laughed: "Wine is better, or sugar water? 35

Ju Shou rolled his eyes and said, "Each has its own merits, Your Majesty, all are good, all are good!

Cao Yang nodded in satisfaction, seeing everyone chatting below, he immediately waved his hand: "Come on, serve! Come one by one! 35

Soon, a pot of big bones was brought out first.

"Ribs!"

Many ministers drooled.

Although the people sitting are all high-ranking officials in the court, except for the third rank and above, almost all of them are poor ghosts.

Although the salaries of the imperial court are quite high, the current official system, although some changes have been made, the subordinate officials are still recruited out of their own pockets, perfectly inheriting the habits of the great Han.

Many officials' pockets were taken away by their subordinate officials.

In addition, except for those who were gifted with houses by Cao Yang, everyone else had to buy their own residences in Xudu.

The west is the place where the poor live, everyone is decent, and the officials usually go back and forth, so the officials live in the east.

In addition to the high officials of the DPRK, there are also members of the royal family, as well as local prominent families in Luoyang, as well as big businessmen who are famous all over the country.

Although Luoyang is big, it can't help so many people live in it!

As a result, the house prices in the east are higher than a year, especially after the people and officials have greatly improved their sense of belonging to the Great Wei, everyone worships the emperor Cao Yang even more, and they all want to live in Luoyang. This further led to an increase in housing prices in Luoyang, and as a result, many officials' income was spent on buying houses.

Many officials, relying on their official positions, negotiated with the seller of the house, signed a contract, and sent out a large amount of salary every month to repay the money.

For the sake of face, these officials married many wives and concubines, had many children, and even called their parents and clansmen to live with them, so that everyone could live a prosperous life. difficult.

As a result, many people cannot afford to eat meat at ordinary times.

Of course, pork can be eaten, but who lives in the wealthy area in the east and is embarrassed to buy pork to eat?

Just buy it back, who will eat it?

So, this big bone immediately aroused great interest from everyone!

66`It smells so good!”

Jia Xu was the first to exclaim.

He grabbed a bone with delight, eating it with relish, and flicking his fingers from time to time.

Ju Shou even devoured it, unable to speak, and only waited until he choked on food, and then desperately gestured towards Cao Yang: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Wine! Chen, Chen choked!

However, another bowl of sugar water.

After drinking it, Ju Shou showed a look of enjoyment on his face: "Uh...sugar water with big meat, the taste is not bad! It's actually quite suitable for an elderly person like me!"

However, Lu Su, who was next to him, looked at the big bone in the basin doubtfully. After hesitantly took a bite, he put it down immediately, and then started to retching. Although he tried hard to hide it, he was still seen.

Ju Shou immediately blamed (Wang De's) and said, "Zijing, why are you swollen? Did you vomit after eating the delicious food that the Son of Heaven gave you?"

Lu Su quickly covered his mouth with a bone: "Eat you! Don't talk nonsense! You are drinking too much, your eyes are dazzled!"

Ju Shou immediately laughed: "Zijing is teasing me again! What I drink is sugar water! Drinking sugar water can still make your eyes dizzy? Tell me, why are you doing this? I remember that you like meat the most!

Xu You next to him also stared at him with a suspicious look on his face.

Lu Su felt bitter in his heart.

He came here from Jiangdong, his family business is gone, and now he has not eaten meat for a long time in order to buy a house in Luoyang.

He still remembers the scene when he was greedy and secretly bought a pound of pork.

However, the moment he chewed the pork, he always thought of the unpleasant smell of pig urine, and immediately retched in a conditioned reflex!

So far, the memory is still fresh!

And the bones, texture, and taste in front of me are clearly pork!
