Sometimes, a gentleman is bothered by such a small problem.

Replaced by a despicable villain known to the world, if he is incapable, he will not save if he does not send troops to save him, for himself, it is not a big deal, and others will not pick on him.

Because he is a villain known to the world.

However, for the prestige of the potter, who is praised as a gentleman by the government and the public and the people, it is natural to achieve "the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring".

It's not because the potters want it to be so, and the potters don't commit cheapness, but because they sometimes have to do it for the sake of this reputation.

Ordinary people make mistakes or have life style problems, which is not a big problem for the whole world, and no one wants to pay attention to him, and he can't make any waves in the long river of history.

But if the potter is guilty of style or principle, then the matter is a big deal.

"Tao Taifu's character is faulty", "Tao Taifu is a wolf in sheep's clothing", "Tao Taifu is not as good as pigs and dogs", "Tao Taifu turned out to be such a person"......

All kinds of remarks and accusations will be like a monstrous wave in the people, and the slag of the potters will not be found.

Therefore, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

It's not a good thing that your reputation is too high, and everyone is staring at you.

Guo Jia also understood the pros and cons of this matter, so he also began to ponder.

This matter can be big or small, anyway, it is definitely not possible to send troops, and in the end, it depends on how to solve the satisfaction of Daotian Kai and Kong Rong.

But after pondering for a long time, Guo Jia was stunned that there was no good way.

Just reject them, it's not like that.

But if you don't refuse others, it's not that you don't want to save it, but in the current situation, Xuzhou is handing over the old and the new, and Tao Ying and Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others in the southeast also need their own supplies, and it is indeed a little difficult to send troops to the north.

Although the landlord's family was wealthy, they did not have surplus food to support so many tenants.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally they both sighed.

"That's it, Brother Fengxiao, you go back first. Let's discuss this matter in the future, some things are unsolvable after all, and it really can't be done, so let's tell the truth to Tian Kai's messenger. ”

"No."

……

After sending Guo Jia away, the potter turned back to the main hall, only to find that Shicai was still Mi Zhen with a little woman's face, sitting there at the moment, secretly wiping her tears.

Good manner, why is this woman crying?

Tao Shangqi said: "Miss Mi, what are you doing?" Good and decent, what tears to wipe? …… Isn't this house haunted? ”

Mi Zhen looked up at the potter with red eyes, and complained: "Taifu, why don't you tell the little girl?" ”

"I won't tell you?" The potter's face was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

"This soup is so bad, why do you drink so much?"

When the potter heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that this girl was talking to Guo Jia outside when she was just right, and secretly tasted the soup.

But there was only one spoon on the table that she had used, what did she drink it with?

Isn't she secretly using me......

The potter smiled and said heartily: "Is it unpleasant?" Why didn't I feel it, it was the girl herself who was too careful. ”

Mi Zhen shook her head vigorously and said, "Taifu doesn't need to comfort me, such a bad soup, the little woman has never tasted it in her life, it's just that I have little cooking experience, and I didn't try it myself when I came, so I really wronged Taifu...... The little woman really can't stand Sister Diao Chan. ”

Seeing Mi Zhen crying, the potter couldn't help but sigh secretly, and a little softness rose in his heart.

What a silly girl with a heavy heart, this little thing, even crying?

However, this girl was born in a wealthy Mi family in Xuzhou, and she can't cook, which is reasonable, but it is not something worth crying about.

If you haven't made soup, you won't let your family make it and then you will bring it to me? Can I really know if it's okay?

This kid is too realistic.

After listening to Guo Jia's report, the potter felt quite sorry for Tian Kai and Kong Rong, and now he was a little depressed in his heart, watching Mi Zhen blame herself for a little cooking, and the potter was quite pitiful.

"Miss Mi, the taste of the soup is not important, I drink the soup, what I drink is the human touch in the soup, the craft is not good can be learned, but the life is not fine, but it is not practiced, and I can't learn."

Hearing this, Mi Zhen raised her head in surprise, looked at the potter's warm smile, her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head in shame.

"Let's go, I'm a little anxious tonight, I might as well show you your hands, let's relax." The potter beckoned to Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen was stunned when she heard this?

Show both hands? What a trick!

In the middle of the night, a unique ...... between a man and a woman Still relaxing?

Mi Zhen's heart suddenly sped up a lot!

How could it be so sudden? This...... This、Will you be sorry for Sister Diao Chan by doing this? How do I explain this to her when I turn around?

Should you say yes or no?

Although she was shy in her heart, Mi Zhen still stood up and followed the potter out of the hall.

……

When he was young, the potter led Mi Zhen to the back kitchen of the mansion.

Mi Zhen was dumbfounded.

It's a little different from what I imagined.

Tao Shang showed his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and smiled at Mi Zhen: "I haven't cooked in person for a long time, I'll teach you how to make chicken soup today, and the girl will give Tao a start." ”

Mi Zhen suddenly realized that she was thinking crookedly.

She let out a sigh of relief.

However, in his heart, there is still a faint sense of loneliness.

Watching the potter clean up in the kitchen, Mi Zhen said strangely: "With the identity of Taifu, how can he know how to cook soup, doesn't it say that the gentleman is far away from cooking?" ”

While packing up his things, the potter said: "The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen, not that the gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, Mencius is willing to be a gentleman to beasts, see his life, can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, he couldn't bear to eat his meat, and he was a gentleman who was far away from cooking. This is his evaluation of King Qi Xuan's unbearable killing, but it is a praise for King Xuan's mercy. ”

After finishing speaking, the potter straightened up, shook his head and laughed at himself: "As for the gentleman's distant kitchen, it is far away from the place of slaughter...... Hehe, in the past five or six years, have there been fewer people who have died in Tao's hands? Do you care more about these chickens and ducks? ”

Mi Zhen basically didn't listen to the potter's words, she just watched the potter wield the kitchen knife and skillfully show her knife skills on the board.

Who would have thought that the famous Prince of the Peace, who is Megatron and famous, would have such an ordinary and down-to-earth side?

"Red dates, earth bones, tortoise shells, gourds, purple ginger...... It's a pity that there are no shiitake mushrooms. The potter counted the same, as if he was reading it to himself, but it was really for Mi Zhen to hear.

Mi Zhen watched quietly, watching the potter throw the cut chicken and condiments into the casserole to cook, and secretly remembered it in her heart.

Next time, you can't say anything to make this man look down on you.

While explaining the warmth and principle of various condiments to Mi Zhen, the potter adjusted the heat.

After about an hour, Dow's Chicken Soup was finally finished.

After Mi Zhen took a sip, Shi Cai's slightly swollen eyes suddenly lit up.

"Taifu...... There is such craftsmanship! ”

The potter laughed, filled a bowl himself, and said, "It's delicious, right?" ”

Mi Zhen nodded vigorously.

After a pot of chicken soup, the sky has begun to turn a little white.

The potter looked at the sun that had begun to rise in the east, and said to Mi Zhen: "Miss Mi, the hour is almost up, you should go back." ”

After finishing speaking, the potter himself muttered a little in his heart.

How is it the same as the scholar in the chat to send away the vixen who met with him in the middle of the night? Isn't it a bit too much!

Mi Zhen blushed, leaned over to the pottery merchant Yingying, and said, "Thank you Taifu for the soup, it was originally the little woman who came to visit the son for Sister Diao Chan, but the son was so tired that the son worked for the little girl." ”

The potter touched his nose and said with a smile: "Don't work, don't work, I'll ask Xu Chu to send someone to send the girl back later." ”

Mi Zhen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Taifu, the little girl has something to ask for." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Taifu's cooking skills are so exquisite...... Zhen'er wonders if she is lucky enough to come to learn the way of cooking from Taifu every night? ”

The potter was stunned when he heard this.

Why come at night to learn how to cook?

Also every night!

Why does it sound so awkward!

Isn't this girl really the same as written in the chat, a fox spirit who sucks yang qi in the middle of the night?

But these days, the vixen of the D cup is not easy to touch, so if you are sucked, you will be sucked.

"If the girl wants, she can come at any time." The potter smiled warmly.

Mi Zhen reciprocated him with a red-faced smile.

……

A few days later, Tian Kai's envoy Wang Xiu came to Pengcheng, Xuzhou, according to Guo Jia's investigation.

As soon as Wang Xiu saw the pottery merchant, he relayed to him the urgency of the counties in Qingzhou and asked Tao Taifu to send troops to help.

The potter was silent.

After a long time, I saw Tao Shang sigh for a long time, and said helplessly: "Wang Gongcao, it's not that Tao is cowardly and afraid, but now I do have a hard time, Huainan side, Sun Ce and Lu Bu are very anxious to attack Lujiang, I want to provide them with grain support, it is inevitable that the Jinling soldiers can not move lightly for the time being, and if Yuan Yao leads the troops north to Yuan Shao, Xuzhou will have to send soldiers and horses to hijack it, Langya State, Chang Feng replaced Zang Ba and united the Taishan tribes, and I Xuzhou is the enemy, Xuzhou and my side have just taken over, I'm afraid that I won't be able to divide the troops and horses to save Qingzhou...... It's not that Tao doesn't want to, it's true that I'm also surrounded by enemies now. ”

When Wang Xiu heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Taifu can't see it, he can't be saved! Back then, Tian Tingshi and Kong Beihai also sent troops to support Xuzhou, although they didn't come in handy in the end, but after all, they were also people who were kind to Taifu. ”

The potter felt a headache when he heard this.

"Wang Gongcao, I bother you to go back to Zicheng and tell Tian Tingshi, now that he has entered Qingzhou to confront Yuan Shao head-on, Tao is indeed not prepared for this, nor does he have the ability...... If you can, Tao is willing to send soldiers and horses to open up the retreat route from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, and welcome Tian Tingshi and Kong Beihai to Xuzhou. ”
