I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"How dare you be so arrogant to the prime minister, you want to die!"

Even Guo Jia behind Cao Cao couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling that Wen Chou's words were a bit too much.

However, Cao Cao waved his hand and laughed loudly,

"General Wen Chou, you did a good job!"

Everyone was stunned, Cao Cao wasn't angry?
Wen Chou also raised his head and said with a blank expression,
"Don't the prime minister think my words are too offensive?"

"Of course I don't think so. This is your responsibility. It's too late for me to reward you, so how can I blame you?"

Cao Cao chuckled, a little regretfully,

"For a strong general like you, I really want you to come here. Forget it, you stay with Maoer and help him do things well. In time, my Cao family will never treat you badly!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Wen Chou's heart was shocked, and he was secretly excited.

He hastily cupped his hands,

"Thank you, Prime Minister, the general will naturally give up his heart and help the young master to do things!"

Seeing Cao Cao make Wen Chou die with a few words, Cao Mao couldn't help admiring him.

He is worthy of being a famous hero in history, and he really has a good method.

Cao Cao and Cao Mao lined up and headed towards the county government office.

The rest of the people followed behind them.

"Mao'er, you raided Yecheng, defeated Yuan Jun, and subdued Wen Chou. These deeds are really beautiful!"

"My father is proud of you!"

Cao Cao praised happily.

Cao Mao smiled lightly,
"It's what kids do."

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, and he had a high opinion of Cao Mao in his heart.

It's really rare to make such unworldly military exploits and still be so unhappy!

Everyone came to the county office.

Cao Mao called out Zhang Chunhua and Zhen Mi.

"Daughter-in-law pays respects to father."

The two women bowed to Cao Cao.

Rao Cao Cao was used to beauties, so he couldn't help being amazed by their beauty.

"Where did the two of them come from?"

Cao Cao asked.

"Reporting to my father, one is the Miss Zhen Family of Hebei, and the other is the daughter of Suyi County Magistrate Zhang Wang."

Cao Mao told the story of Zhang Chunhua and Zhen Mi.

When Cao Cao heard this, his face darkened immediately.

Why does my own son have the same stinking problem as himself, and he likes to steal other people's wives?

But what he likes is a married woman, so it's good for him to grab the big girl of Huang Hua directly!

Cao Cao coughed lightly,
"Mao'er, you just need to take care of these things yourself."

"The child obeys."

Cao Mao cupped his hands.

After greeting Cao Cao, Zhang Chunhua and Zhen Mi withdrew.

Cao Mao brought Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xu Chu and Dian Wei to the meeting hall.

It's a scorching summer day.

Everyone was sweating profusely and extremely thirsty.

When Cao Mao saw this, he ordered his servants,

"Go, get some drinks."

Cao Cao was taken aback,
"Drink? Maoer, what is that?"

"It's for quenching your thirst."

Cao Mao laughed.

After a while, the servant brought up a tray with five cups on it.

The liquid in the cup was dark red, and there were even ice cubes floating in it.

"Young master, there is an ice cellar in Hanoi County?"

Guo Jia couldn't help being surprised.

In order to preserve ice, the ancients built ice cellars.

Store ice cubes in it in the winter and enjoy it in the summer.

But this method consumes manpower and material resources, and only the royal family or princes and ministers can afford it.

Cao Cao had a similar idea before, but because it would cost a lot of money, he finally gave up the idea.

But now that they are here with Cao Mao, how can this not surprise them when they see ice cubes?

"This is ice cubes I make out of saltpeter."

Cao Mao explained with a smile.

"Can saltpeter also make ice?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

"of course."

In such a hot summer, if there is no iced drink, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult.

However, there is no ice cellar in Hanoi County. Even if it is dug now, it will have to wait until winter to store ice.

So he simply followed the method of making ice with saltpeter, and successfully made ice cubes.

Cao Mao explained in detail how to make ice with saltpeter.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he told Guo Jia beside him,
"Feng Xiao, please write down this method. When we return to Xudu, we must make a batch of ice cubes."

"As ordered."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were thirsty at the end of their conversation, couldn't bear it anymore.

The two raised their wine glasses and drank it down.

When the cold liquid in the cup flowed down their throats, they couldn't help shivering and screaming loudly.

"Cool!"

"It's so cool!"

Looking at the excited expressions of the two, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were a little suspicious.

Is it really that delicious?
The two of them slowly raised their glasses and took a sip.

It doesn't matter if you drink this, the two of them stared wide-eyed.

The sweet and sour taste, paired with the coolness of ice cubes, is simply the best drink for relieving summer heat!
Cao Cao quickly picked up the cup, drank it up in one gulp, and couldn't help asking,
"Maoer, how is this drink made?"

"This drink is called sour plum soup. It is a heat-relieving drink made of black plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, osmanthus, licorice, and rock sugar."

"It not only calms the liver fire, but also helps the spleen and stomach to digest and nourish the liver."

Cao Mao smiled and narrated the sour plum soup.

"I didn't expect there to be so many benefits."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"Hey, that, Mr. Su Lie, can you have another cup for me?"

Xu Chu said cheekily.

"Haha, don't worry, General Xu, I have a lot of sour plum soup here, and it will definitely be enough."

Cao Mao laughed loudly.

In order to relieve the heat, he made a big pot of sour plum soup.

In the past few days, the two daughters Zhang Chunhua and Zhen Mi have been drinking this basically every day.

"Then give us a drink too!"

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei said in unison.

Cao Mao: "..."

After a few cups of sour plum soup, everyone's sense of the scorching heat subsided a bit, and they began to chat about business.

Cao Cao said seriously,
"Mao'er, the purpose of coming to Hanoi this time for my father is to commend you for your outstanding military exploits."

"If you need help from your father, whether it's food or money, just ask."

Cao Mao laughed,
"Thank you father for your concern. I have enough supplies here."

"really?"

Cao Cao was a little suspicious.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Cao Mao briefly explained how he ransacked Sima's house and ransacked Zhen's house.

Then Yang Jun was called into the lobby.

"This is Yang Jun, the governor of the county."

Cao Mao introduced,
"Yang Jun, please tell the Prime Minister about the development of Hanoi in recent times."

Yang Jun saluted Cao Cao, neither humble nor overbearing,

"Returning to the Prime Minister, the county government office has vigorously implemented the new policy of the governor recently, and the barren land reclaimed is twice the size of the previous field!"

"double?!"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

Yang Jun took out a few account books and handed them over.
