In the next two or three days, perhaps at the end of the year, Cao Cao would have endless things to deal with. Sometimes breakfast was cancelled directly, afternoon tea... it was reduced to about two quarters of an hour.

"Do you know? Cao Sikong's attitude has improved a lot in the past two days. He would greet other ministers and say politely. Although he was still cold, he was a little more agile. He was no longer the feeling of keeping people thousands of miles away!" Liu Xie still came over to play, and at the same time told Wang Yong about the matter in the court. Speaking of which, today is indeed a day for the great dynasty.

"But I suddenly understood why she looked cold." Liu Xie immediately remembered something, "I just showed a certain kindness, and many ministers around me were approaching her. Lu Zhi and Dong Cheng and others were also required to recommend some young heroes from various major families to her. But it is strange that Wang Yun, who was also keen on this before, did not participate."

Of course I won’t participate, after all, the person she recommends is in front of you. Wang Yong couldn’t help but wonder, what would Liu Xie think if he knew this? He turned against Cao Cao directly, or went to settle the score with Wang Yun directly? Of course, the most likely he was to settle the score with himself!

When it was afternoon tea, Cao Cao was indeed not allowed to go in by himself, so Xu Chu helped him take the things in.

"Do I complain?" Wang Yong turned around and left, he couldn't help but mutter. Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten to return the Seven-Star Sword to him. He just kept it like this, and it felt like a token of love.

On the other hand, Cao Cao was drinking tea and eating cookies while complaining, "Do you know? Today, the old guy Dong Cheng recommended me a young man from Jizhou, a young man who had just reached the championship... During this period, she recommended almost all ages, but it is too much to say that fifteen years old?!"

It is said that there are also some older men who like children who like young men. They are said to have a feeling of being ruthless, but she obviously cannot understand that feeling. After all, she has not given birth to a child. There are indeed two children in the family, but after all, they are not her biological children.

"Well, it's really bad..." Xu Chu replied expressionlessly. She didn't know how to answer such a topic. After all, she was also a girl who had not gotten married. The key is that her emotional intelligence is really not high.

"By the way Zhongkang, you seem to be like this these days..." Cao Cao couldn't help but frown. He would occasionally let Xun Yu come over, or Wang Yong beside him. The former could chat unscrupulously, and the latter would occasionally say some humorous words, but Xu Chu... really doesn't know how to speak.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates are not very good at speaking..." Xu Chu admitted frankly that actually asking her to come here to accompany her is a mistake, right?

"Okay..." Cao Cao couldn't say anything, but he just didn't speak, and afternoon tea would be a little less comfortable.

"Speaking of this, the New Year is coming in seven days... Time flies so fast!" Cao Cao sighed at the ceiling.

Last year, Dongjun was suddenly attacked by Lu Bu, and coupled with drought and locust plague, he was overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, in addition to solving the problem of military rations in more than a year, there were also several industries. At the same time, the sphere of influence expanded from Yanzhou to Yuzhou.

The two children also started to become officials. Cao Ang went to Cao Ren's side, and he probably couldn't come back to celebrate the New Year this year. Xiahou Dun was guarding outside again, and Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and Li Dian were not there.

"By the way, when the chef came to deliver the meal just now, I hope I will pass on a sentence on my behalf, indicating that I hope I can take a day off!" Xu Chu suddenly remembered something, so he reported to Cao Cao.

"Oh, did you say why?" Cao Cao was curious. Wang Yong rarely asked for leave, so he asked back.

"It is said that it is the New Year tomorrow, and I will prepare some ingredients and desserts for worshiping the Kitchen God. I need to take a day off." Xu Chu replied.

"What is the New Year of the Little New Year? Is there such a custom?" Cao Cao couldn't help but think about it, and he really couldn't think of where the New Year would be celebrated.

"I don't know about this, but it shouldn't be a regular custom..." Xu Chu tilted his head.

"In this case, let's give him a day off!" Cao Cao felt that his subordinates really needed to rest, so he had to approve it.

The next day, the entire yamen became a little deserted. Wang Yong was not there, Wenming was certainly no longer there, and Liu Xie would not come. After Wei Yan learned how to order noodles as agreed, he also went to the army to serve.

The lunch is the chef. Fortunately, Wang Yong prepared the menu yesterday and even the afternoon tea has been arranged.

"The cooking skills... are just average..." After lunch, Cao Cao was not very excited about afternoon tea. "Why don't you let the kitchen prepare tonight. I cook and prepare some dishes, have a meal with Pier... I send someone to inform her."

"Subordinate to obey the order!" Xu Chu nodded and then went down to make arrangements.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Chu came to Cao Cao with regret and explained to her, "Young Master Pi said that now the seventh issue of newspapers will be published, and she will also have to review the manuscripts. It seems that there are a lot of manuscripts recently, so I guess I will have to work hard in the newspaper tonight for one night."

With the completion of the newspaper construction, there is an office area and a seating area, and a small canteen. However, the lunch and afternoon tea for Cao Pi and Zhang Song are still provided by the kitchen of Sikong Mansion.

"That's how..." Cao Cao suddenly felt a little bored. Since Cao Pi was the president of the newspaper, he often went home very late, and there was not much communication between mother and daughter. However, seeing the newspaper getting better and better, the quality of each issue was very good, and those who were mothers were also very relieved.

I just thought of going back to the home where I was the only one, and I always felt deserted and uncomfortable. And if she was the only one, there was no need to cook in person. Although this was how she came here for a while.

"Forget it... I have to take a little rest occasionally..." Cao Cao stopped the pen in his hand, feeling a little tired, more of the loneliness and coldness in his heart. He simply put down his work, left the yamen and went home...

"Yes, just pull the candy strips like this, I'll close it!" At Wang Yong's farm, he was now holding the malt sugar with the help of his servants. There are two ways to make sugar melons, one is solid and the other is hollow. What he wants to make is the hollow sugar melon.

Extend, fold, and then lengthen the candy strips. After four times, use both hands to close the candy strips into a hollow cylindrical structure. Then take them out of the house and use the help of cold air to harden them.

Before completely hardening, turn it with a hemp rope a few times, cut one piece, then cut one piece at a distance, and then cut one piece. This way, the hollow spherical shape and vertical lines look like small pumpkins.

Put the cut sugar melon on top of the fried sesame seeds and roll it a few times, and what comes out is the final shape of the sugar melon.

"Wow, this is the candy melon! It looks pretty good. By the way, isn't this just malt sugar?" Xun Yu complained directly, but she even finished her work early, but the candy melon was just like this.

"Don't worry, this is just a worshiper of the Kitchen God, and other desserts are indispensable!" Wang Yong laughed.

"Oh? What desserts are there?" At this time, Cao Cao walked into the yard with a smile under the guidance of his servant.
