Chapter 316
Cao Cao looked past Liu Yu and tiptoed towards the charcoal fire. "If I knew that Tanghai had such delicious food, I would have grown two wings and flown thousands of miles to come and disturb you!"
"Haha!"
"It's better to come at the right time than to come in a hurry. I, Cao Mengde, will eat this roasted lamb today!"
Liu Yu's eyes also passed Cao Cao and fell on the four cousins behind him.
Those people stared at the roasted whole lamb with the same eager eyes.
"Today, eating meat and drinking wine will definitely let Mengde feel what a magnificent place Tanghai is."
Liu Yu arranged for Cao Cao and several cousins to meet one by one, and then learned their names.
The other party's humble attitude made him feel no surprise.
After all, Liu Yu knew very well how vulnerable a general was to Tanghai's weapons.
Even the Five Tiger Generals could not escape, let alone Cao Cao's cousin.
In the wilderness, Cao Cao and several of his brothers, along with the leaders of the Tanghai New District, sat around a small bonfire.
Xiahou Dun and the other four looked at the Tanghai leader and found that he was also looking at them.
From their strong bodies, they could feel that they had common characteristics.
As men, they could not help but compare.
Cao Cao saw the expressions of his brothers and quickly changed the subject: "Chengzhi, what festival is today? Why are you holding such a grand event?"
"It's not a festival." Liu Yu, who was also sitting around the bonfire, smiled and said, "It's just that Tanghai harvested a few hundred million grains."
"Let the leaders and people who work hard every day relax."
"Oh, a little grain." Cao Cao didn't think much about it.
The Tanghai leaders around him smacked their lips. The little bit of food from Lord Qu Mu was really "little".
I'm afraid that the Minister of Agriculture in the court would be scared to burp on the spot when he heard this.
Liu Yu ordered the soldiers to bring over a few roasted whole lambs. The roasted lambs were golden on the surface and exuded a unique and tempting smell.
With a knife, a layer of lamb was cut off, revealing the inner layer that was not yet roasted to be very tender.
Liu Yu ordered the soldiers to distribute it to a few guests first, "Eat it first, this roasted lamb needs to be eaten while roasting."
"Meng De taste it and see how our Tanghai people live?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Just this scene..."
He turned around and pointed at a circle.
In front of the bonfires that were rubbing around, there were dense crowds of people.
Singing and dancing, it was so lively.
"You don't need to eat to know how happy it is!" Cao Cao sighed: "I also traveled to many places when I was young, but have you ever seen such a scene?"
Xiahou Dun and the other four nodded.
As the soldiers distributed the barbecue, Cao Cao and his cousin ate it fiercely.
Other Tanghai commanders couldn't wait to eat it.
Although there was not much meat, it tasted very fragrant.
The rich meaty smell, accompanied by the unique aroma of charcoal fire, permeates the taste buds.
The golden sheep fat on the grilled meat makes people salivate.
In this era of oil as gold, it is extremely comfortable to eat such fatty lamb.
"Alas!" Cao Cao swallowed the grilled meat in his mouth and sighed to the sky.
"Life in Tanghai is so comfortable!"
"It makes me want to stay."
Liu Yu put down his chopsticks and smiled: "It's not like this every day."
"If you eat like this every day, even gods can't afford it."
"It's okay to be happy occasionally."
Cao Cao shook his head: "Chengzhi, what you said is wrong."
"In other places, big landlords can't be so happy occasionally."
"Not to mention, it's not just you who are happy, but you are happy with so many commanders and soldiers."
"Is this something that ordinary people can do?"
His words were nodded in agreement by the four cousins.
They were also from a rich family. Although they couldn't compare with the top families in the world, their backgrounds were much better than most people.
But they had never seen such a happy scene.
Tanghai, so happy.
Xiahou Dun stuffed the mutton in the pottery plate into his mouth and said in his heart.
The occasional thing from Liu Yu's mouth made him want to know how long it was considered an occasional thing.
"Lord Qu Mu!" After wiping off the grease from the corners of his mouth, Xiahou Dun took the initiative to stand up and said respectfully.
"We are new here and want to seek a military officer position in Tanghai."
"It seems that Tanghai is full of talents now."
"All the military officers are majestic."
"But I think that there is no second to martial arts, and we should take this opportunity to compete, so that Lord Qu Mu can have the most intuitive feeling about my brothers."
Although they said it politely, Xiahou Dun and his brothers had long been ready to find opportunities to show their martial arts in specific scenes.
They firmly believed that with their strongWith his skills, he will definitely be able to suppress those local military officers in Tanghai.
Strive to gain the attention of Lord Qu Mu.
Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak when Liu Yu took the lead.
"Good!" Liu Yu smiled and said, "There is no second in martial arts, that's a good saying."
"We are all young and energetic, and a competition can just promote mutual feelings."
"Come on, serve the wine!"
Liu Yu waved his hand, "Those who want to compete can enter the venue, the loser will toast, and the winner will drink."
"Today, let's make friends with martial arts!"
A few simple words mobilized the emotions of all military officers.
There are more and more military officers in Tanghai, making everyone unwilling to be inferior to others.
A competition is the best way.
They are all young and energetic, who is afraid of whom?
Cao Cao scratched his head secretly, secretly worried about his younger brothers who were not afraid of tigers.
He knew very well how powerful the commander of Tanghai was.
Cao Cao said quickly with his eyes rolling: "On such a happy day, let's not compete with weapons, but wrestle to avoid hurting people and ruining the harmony."
Liu Yu laughed secretly, Cao Cao's mind was really quick.
A word for everyone's sake completely offset the weapon advantage of the Tanghai commanders.
"Okay, let's do as Meng De said." Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
Only without weapons can the competition be more exciting.
Otherwise, there is a risk of injury after one round, which is not worth the loss.
Xiahou Dun was eager to try, and he took the initiative to say in the circle: "I wonder which Tanghai commander is willing to teach me?"
He clasped his fists and saluted, looking around, looking forward to it.
This is his first battle after arriving in Tanghai, and he must fight to make a name for himself!
Ma Chao jumped up first, "I'll do it!"
The young man entered the circle in three or two steps, stood opposite Xiahou Dun, and saluted as well.
"Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi from Xiliang."
"He has just joined Tanghai."
"Go ask Brother Xiahou for advice."
Cao Cao saw a young man coming out and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily it was not one of the old commanders of Tanghai, otherwise, he felt that although Xiahou Dun was powerful, he would not be a match for them.
Liu Yu explained the rules, "In a wrestling match, the one who is pressed to the ground and lands on his back first loses."
