Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Jia Xu's face was sincere: "This is a member of the craftsman Pu's family."

When Han Ze heard that he was from the Pu family, he immediately became interested.

He opened the door and walked out, and asked the craftsman, "What's the master's name?"

The craftsman bowed to Han Ze and waved his hands again and again: "I don't dare to pretend to be a master, you are too polite, my little one's surname is Pu Dan, and my name is one yuan."

Hearing the name, Han Ze immediately became interested: "Pu Yuan, what a good name. Are you good at making swords?"

The craftsman was stunned: "How does the master know? I dare not say that I am good at it, but I just like it."

Of course Han Ze knew about Pu Yuan, who was a famous sword god in Shu Han.

Jiang Wei is a master builder who has written his autobiography for him.

It is said that the biggest feature of the knife made by Pu Yuan is its moderate hardness, and the core technology is the exquisite steel quenching technology.

Han Ze laughed, but did not answer Pu Yuan's question, and just said a few words perfunctorily.

Then he took Xiahouen and Gao Shun to the camp.

When they arrived at the camp, Han Ze called Pu Yuan over, showed the blueprint of the copper hot pot and explained it, and asked Pu Yuan to figure it out by himself.

As someone from a family of craftsmen, of course he is more clear about the details of various utensils than Han Ze.Therefore, Han Ze only gave the shape and basic parameters, and left the rest to Pu Yuan.

Jia Xu and Yu Jin, who had been watching from the sidelines, were a little puzzled, why make a copper stove?
"Taining, your... hot pot is for cooking?"

Han Ze replied as he walked towards Yu Jin's big tent, "Of course, don't look at it as inconspicuous, I'm afraid you will be fascinated by it in the future."

Yu Jin was even more confused: "Taining, we entered this camp for the reason of transforming ordnance, now you..."

Han Ze walked into the tent with a careless heart, comforted Yu Jin and said, "General, how about giving you some credit for your achievements?"

Yu Jin's eyes lit up immediately. Although Jia Xu's words were not as exaggerated as Yu Jin's, there was also longing in his eyes.

"Taining, me! Don't forget me."

Han Ze laughed loudly: "Don't worry, everyone has a share."

Then Han Ze settled down in the forbidden camp. Two days later, Pu Yuan finally finished Han Ze's hot pot. Looking at the familiar copper hot pot, Han Ze felt very cordial.

Jia Xu still didn't understand the purpose of this thing: "It is said to be a pot, but it looks like a tripod. It is said to be a tripod, but there is a chimney in the middle. Taining, how can this be used?"

Han Ze didn't answer, but smiled and ordered everyone to pour the prepared bone soup into the hot pot, and then put the charcoal into the chimney in the middle of the hot pot.

After a while, the already warm bone broth was gurgling to a boil. Han Ze called everyone to sit down, and put pieces of vegetable leaves and slices of meat into the pot.

After a short time, the meat dish changed color. Pick up a piece of meat, dip it in the prepared sauce, and put it in your mouth.

"Well~ appropriate.".
Seeing Han Ze enjoying himself, other people moved their chopsticks one after another, and soon everyone felt the charm of hot pot.

At this time, September is approaching, the weather is gradually passing, and it is the best time to eat hot pot.

Since then, it has been out of control, every three to five days, either Jia Xu, Gao Shun, or Yu Jin, there must be someone clamoring for a hot pot meal.

While they were feasting, Cao Cao in Sikong's mansion was also thinking about Han Ze.

I haven't seen Taining for [-] days, I miss him.

It has been nineteen days since I heard Taining's heartfelt thoughts, and I miss him.

It has been more than [-] days since I received any advice from Taining, I miss him...

Cao Cao's mind is full of Han Ze, and his efficiency in handling government affairs is greatly reduced.

Raising his hand and rubbing his temples, he asked Xun You beside him, "Gongda, I heard that Taining is developing improved ordnance recently, is there any progress?"

Xun You was stunned, of course he knew about this, but it is so difficult to improve ordnance.I don't know why Taining chose such a reason to fish.

Dian Wei, who was standing by the side, swallowed a few times for some reason after hearing the keywords of Han Ze and improved ordnance.

While perfunctory, Xun You helped Han Ze find a reason: "This subordinate doesn't know the specific progress, but just heard about it."

"Ah."

Cao Cao thought for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Dian Wei.

"I remember that Dian Wei went to the forbidden camp a few days ago, did you hear a thing or two?"

Dian Wei swallowed again, shook his head and said nothing.

Cao Cao seemed to feel something different, but he didn't have a specific direction, so Youzi scratched his head.

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed suspicious, Xun You said again: "My lord, as far as I know, the improvement of ordnance is a big project, and it can't be completed overnight."

Cao Cao nodded: "Of course I know this, it's just a momentary feeling."

"At present, our biggest enemy is Yuan Shao in the north. I thought he had fought with him back then, but I don't want to become a rival now."

"I remember that we had agreed with each other at that time that we must work together to help the Han Dynasty and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. But I didn't expect it to look like this now."

The counselors below looked at each other, what happened, my lord?Why did he suddenly talk about the past with Yuan Shao?

After looking at each other, Xun Yu questioned: "My lord, why did you suddenly mention Yuan Shao?"

Cao Cao glanced at everyone: "Isn't Taining improving weapons? They can be used to deal with Yuan Shao. He has millions of soldiers, but I have less than 30. How to fight depends on Taining's improved weapons. "

Xun Yu: "Ah... the lord just said that it takes a long time to improve weapons."

Cao Cao also said with a smile: "Fighting Yuan Shao is of course a protracted war, it doesn't matter, I believe that Taining will definitely increase the power for me to change the situation of the battle at the critical moment."

The counselors looked at each other again, feeling the helplessness in their eyes.

And Dian Wei swallowed the oral test again, not because he was greedy, but because the hot pot was too delicious.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the lord valued Taining's improved weapons so much, but it was impossible to place all hope on the new weapons when confronting Yuan Shao.

Xun You said again: "My lord, this weapon may not be the only hope to change the situation of the battle. We still need to carefully designate our strategy."

Cao Cao looked at Xun You confidently: "Gongda, I know this. But Taining has found many types of craftsmen, so it's impossible to just make things for eating, drinking and having fun."

Dian Wei looked at Cao Cao in surprise, how did the lord know that Taining only made eating and drinking utensils...

At this time, in the Yujin camp, several people were sitting around the table eating hot pot.

Yu Jin asked with some concern: "Taining, Dian Wei has come to check a few days ago, will more people come to check in the camp in the future, are they all sealed with hot pot?"

Han Ze was about to answer when a guard suddenly came in and reported: "My lords, Pu Yuan's work has been completed, please go and check it."

Han Ze patted Yu Jin's thigh: "Hahaha, here comes the credit."
