Chapter 18 Father and Son Banquet!
The reason why this is a reversal is naturally that the official position of these three Gongs and Caos is extraordinary because they have great power in charge, or their position is very important.
The Sangong Cao was an official of Shangshutai, who was in charge of the county affairs of the year-end examination. He was an official of two thousand stones and his official position was quite large.
The so-called "The End of the Year of the Master's Examination for Prefectures and County Affairs" is to examine the political achievements of officials in various places. The political achievements assessed by the Three Dukes are the basis for promotion or demotion of officials.
If Cao Chong held this official position in his hand, it would be too easy for Cao Chong to form his own group.
On the other hand, if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi want to make a comeback, the difficulty coefficient will be much greater.
Knowing that Cao Chong got this official, how could Cao Pi's face not turn bad?
In this special period, Jiuzhou of Xia had two administrative teams, one of which was from the Han Dynasty and served Emperor Xian of Han. Of course, this so-called service to Emperor Xian of Han was just a superficial service. In fact, both official systems served Cao Cao.
The politics of Cao Wei was different from the official system of the Han Dynasty. In the official system of the Han Dynasty, the three dukes and nine ministers were the highest administrative team of the Han Dynasty, while in Cao Wei, the Shangshutai.
The Shangshutai is in charge of national affairs, and the Shangshuling is equivalent to the prime minister. Of course, compared with the Prime Minister of the Western Han Dynasty, the Shangshuling still has many shortcomings.
The current helmsman of Shangshutai is Xun. Xun is not only the Shangshuling of Emperor Xian of Han, but also Cao Cao's Shangshuling. In other words, although there are two administrative teams, there is only one Shangshutai.
And Cao Chong's three ministers and ministers are naturally in charge of the final exam of Jiuzhou.
This is a huge power.
Cao Pi looked at Cao Chong with some jealousy, and there were many emotions in his eyes: unwillingness, extreme, worried...
Of course, these complex emotions were quickly hidden by Cao Pi.
Although Cao Chong got the third prince Cao, he was not unhelpful. At least, half of the credit for recruiting Ma Chao was still in his hands.
Cao Pi comforted himself so much, but the next second I thought of Sima Yi having drunk with Zhuge Liang yesterday, and the so-called half of the credit he earned for him suddenly became a little boring.
Alas ~
Cao Pi sighed in his heart, but Cao Chong's face was not very excited, but a few ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
Huh ~
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and after he got his two sons done, Cao Cao had no worries. He said to Cao to Cao Pi: "First drink with me here before leaving. Zihuan, don't you like eating grapes? I have paid a lot of grapes to pay tribute to the Western Regions before, so you can take some out."
When Cao Pi heard the word "grape", his face finally improved.
Cao Chong and Cao Pi sat cross-legged for a moment. After a while, Liu Yong, who was wearing an official robe, brought a few small yellow doors to carry a food collapse.
The food is quaint, but not simple. Because of the reason for overflowing gold, I feel a bit extravagant.
Although the bowl on the table is not a jade bowl, the paint bowl has been designed and shows the temperament of the Wei Palace.
When the food collapsed, Liu Yong took out three black painted wine bottles, picked up the wine jar, pulled out the wine plug, and poured the wine into the three wine bottles.
The wine has a mellow taste, and is not irritating. It is also quiet in color, but it has a unique scenery. It is the wine brewed by Cao Chong before. It is now a tribute wine from the Palace of Wei. Cao Cao also likes this wine quite much.
After the wine came, the food came up quickly.
The first one to come up was the braised lion head, which was also the dish reported by Cao Chong. Later, it was gradually adopted by the Wei Palace. The reason for this was naturally that Boss Cao liked to eat this braised lion head.
Braised lion head, a special dish of Han nationality. It is a dish that is often eaten during festivals in China. It is also called Sixi Meatballs. It has fat and lean meat, rosy and shiny, and is covered with green vegetables. The bright colors and fragrant aroma can arouse appetite just by looking at it. The mellow and fragrant meat pieces and juice are irresistible top delicacies.
When Cao Chong was cooking this dish before, he naturally couldn't make such a dish, but after the chefs knew how to cook the braised lion head, they quickly became a fancy.
"Come on, try it. This is a new dish. Please keep it safe and you want to eat it again."
Cao Pi's face was a little strange. He picked up a braised lion's head and put it on his mouth, and his eyes lit up.
"Okay, this is the first time I have eaten this dish."
Seeing Cao Pi flatteringly, Cao Chong rolled his eyes. He was really embarrassed to say to Cao Cao like this:
Dad, this is made by your son at home, and your son is almost tired of eating it.
He thought this in his heart, but naturally he couldn't say that. Cao Chong put a braised lion's head on his mouth, and he said some praise.
Hearing the praises of his two sons, Cao Cao also smiled and picked up the wine bottle and poured a sip of wine.
Soon, the second dish was served.
The second dish is tofu, and this tofu is not like the tofu of this era. The tofu of this era is still a bit thick and not as delicate as later generations. Now, in addition to a layer of chili peppers outside, you can still see its smooth and tender side from the gaps between the chili.
Su Shi wrote a poem, and one sentence said: Steamed goose and ducks are gourd pots, and boiled beans to make milk fat to make crispy, and the crispy inside means tofu.
The famous poet Lu You, who had an unfulfilled ambition, also wrote the poem Tofu.
The turbid wine gathers in the corner of the corner, and occasionally comes to the last period. Wipe the plates and piles and spread them, wash the pot and cook Li Qi.
Wu Chan will bring new calf, green mulberry grows tender branches, and there will be many joys in the good times, so I will advise you to stretch your eyebrows.
The consumption of tofu has a long history in China, but the dish in front of me is different.
Because he is Sichuan spicy tofu.
Unfortunately, it was also a dish that Cao Chong created not long ago.
Looking at Cao Cao's arrogant expression, Cao Chong really didn't want to hit Boss Cao, so he silently picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of Mapo tofu, chewed it in his mouth, and swallowed it directly.
The characteristics of Mapo tofu are mahjong and spicy. After eating Mapo tofu in one bite, Cao Chong felt his tongue a little spicy, but in order to give Boss Cao a face, Cao Chong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "So **, my son thinks it is really the best in the world!"
Cao Chong had eaten Mapo tofu and was quite familiar with the taste, but after Cao Pi ate it, his face became a little strange.
What is this?
Why does this taste?
Cao Pi had a hundred thousand whys in his heart. His face was weird, but he still held up his weird expression and praised him against his conscience.
"This dish is delicious, and I'm not a good meal... I'll see it in my flat body..."
Cao Pi, who looked like this, almost made Cao Chong laugh out loud.
In this way, a few more dishes were served later, and most of them were dishes brought by Cao Chong from later generations.
Looking at Cao Cao's complacent expression, Cao Chong almost thought that Cao Cao wanted to come by himself just to let him show off the cuisine in the palace!
