In the next two or three days, perhaps at the end of the year, Cao Cao will also have things that he can't deal with. Sometimes breakfast is canceled directly, afternoon tea ...... It was also reduced to about two quarters of an hour.

"You know what? In the past two days, Cao Sikong's attitude has improved a lot, and he will greet other courtiers and say a few polite words or something. Although the whole person is still cold, it is a little more agile in the end, and it is no longer the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away! Liu Xie still came to play, and at the same time told Wang Yong about the things above the court, speaking of which, today is indeed the day of the dynasty.

"But I can suddenly understand why she looks cold." Liu Xie immediately remembered something, "I just showed a certain amount of goodwill, and many ministers around her were close to her, Lu Zhi and Dong Cheng had to recommend some young heroes from major families to her, but it was strange that Wang Yun, who was also keen on this before, did not participate." ”

Of course not, after all, the person she recommended is right in front of you. Wang Yong couldn't help but wonder, what would Liu Xie think if he knew this? Directly turn against Cao Cao, or go directly to Wang Yun to settle accounts? Of course, most likely it is to settle accounts with yourself!

When it was time for afternoon tea, Cao Cao really didn't allow himself to go in, and Xu Chu helped bring things in.

"Should I complain?" When Wang Yong turned to leave, he couldn't help muttering that Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten to return the Seven Star Sword to him. I kept it like this.,It feels like a token of love.。

On the other side, Cao Cao was drinking tea and eating cookies while complaining: "Do you know? Today, Dong Cheng's old guy recommended to me a young man from Jizhou, a young man who was fifteen years old and had just reached the crown...... During this time, she has recommended almost all ages to come over, but fifteen years old is too much, right?! ”

It is said that there are some older people who will like this kind of young man who is like a child, and it is said that there will be a feeling of betrayal, but she obviously can't understand that feeling, after all, she has not given birth yet. There are indeed two children in the family, but they are not her own after all.

"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 married. The key is that her emotional intelligence is really not high.

"Speaking of Zhongkang, you seem to be like this these days...... Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, he would occasionally ask Xun Yu to come over before, or Wang Yong was by his side, the former could chat unscrupulously, and the latter would occasionally say something witty and humorous, and this Xu Chu ...... Really don't talk much.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates don't know how to talk......" Xu Chu admitted frankly, in fact, letting her come over to accompany her or something should be a mistake in itself, right?

"Okay......" Cao Cao didn't say anything, but he didn't speak at all, and the afternoon tea would be a little less pleasant.

"Speaking of which, there are seven days left until the New Year...... Time flies! Cao Cao looked at the ceiling and sighed.

Last year, Dongjun was suddenly attacked by Lu Bu, coupled with drought and locust plagues, and he was overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, in more than a year, not to mention the solution of the problem of military rations, there were several more industries, and at the same time, the sphere of influence expanded from Yanzhou to Yuzhou.

The two children also began to come out, Cao Ang went to Cao Ren's side, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for the New Year this year. Xiahoudun was guarding outside again, and Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan, Le Jin and Li Dian were not there.

"By the way, when the chef brought the food just now, he wanted me to pass on a word, saying that I hope to take a day off tomorrow!" Xu Chu suddenly remembered something, so he reported to Cao Cao.

"Oh, did you tell me why?" Cao Cao was curious, Wang Yong rarely asked for leave, so he asked rhetorically.

"It is said that tomorrow will be the New Year, prepare some ingredients and desserts for worshipping the god of the stove, and you need to take a day off." Xu Chu replied.

"What year is Xiao Nian? Is there such a custom? Cao Cao couldn't help but think about it, but he really couldn't think of where he would spend the New Year.

"This, my subordinates don't know, but it shouldn't be a formal custom......" Xu Chu tilted his head.

"In that case, let him be given a day off!" Cao Cao felt that it was really necessary for his subordinates to rest, so he couldn't help but approve it.

The next day, the whole yamen became a little deserted. Wang Yong was not there, of course Wen Ming was no longer there, and Liu Xie would not come, and after Wei Yan learned the pastry as agreed, he also went to serve in the army.

The lunch is in charge of the assistant chef, but fortunately, Wang Yong prepared the menu yesterday, and even the afternoon tea has been arranged.

"Culinary ...... It's just like ...... usual" Eating lunch, Cao Cao is not too much looking forward to afternoon tea, "Tonight, I won't let the back kitchen prepare, I'll cook some dishes and have a meal with Pi'er...... Send someone to inform her. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Xu Chu nodded, and then went down to arrange.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Chu came to Cao Cao regretfully and explained to her: "Young Master Pi said that now the seven issues of newspapers and periodicals will be published, and she still has to review the manuscript. It seems that there have been a lot of manuscripts in recent times, so I guess I will have to work hard in the newspaper office tonight. ”

With the completion of the construction of the newspaper, there is an office area, a rest area, and a small dining hall. However, Cao Pi and Zhang Song's lunch and afternoon tea were still provided by the back kitchen of Sikong Mansion.

"That's it......" Cao Cao suddenly felt a little bored. Because Cao Pi served as the president of the newspaper, he often came home late, and there was not much communication between mother and daughter. However, seeing that the newspaper is getting better and better, the quality of each issue is very good, and I feel a lot of relief when I am a mother.

It's just that I think I'm going back to that home, where I'm alone, and I always feel lonely and uncomfortable. And if she was the only one, there was no need to cook herself, although for a while, she came over like this.

"Forget it...... Occasionally, I have to take a little rest......" Cao Cao stopped the pen in his hand, and the whole person felt a little tired, more lonely and cold in his heart. simply put down all the work, left the yamen directly, and went home......

"yes, just pull the candy bar like that, I'll close it!" On Wang Yong's Zhuangzi, he is now closing the boiled maltose with the help of his subordinates. There are two methods of the so-called sugar melon, one is solid and the other is hollow, and what he wants to do is the kind of hollow sugar melon.

Stretch, fold, and stretch the strips four times, then fold them together with both hands to form a hollow column. Then take it out of the house and harden it with the help of cold air.

Before it is completely hardened, turn it a few times with hemp rope, cut off a piece, and then cut the next piece at an interval, so that the cut is a hollow spherical shape, plus the vertical lines, it looks like a small pumpkin.

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

"Wow, this is a sugar melon! Looks pretty good, isn't this just caramel candy? Xun Yu complained directly, because she also came back from work early, but the sugar melon was just like this.

"Don't worry, this is just for worshipping the god of the stove, and other desserts are indispensable!" Wang Yong laughed.

"Oh? What are the desserts? At this time, Cao Cao walked into the courtyard with a smile under the leadership of his subordinates.
