Chapter 12 6. One bite per person

"Oh! Oh!" Ma Teng, who was sitting opposite Xun Yu, suddenly stretched out his palm and slapped his right knee, and shouted loudly, "Ma Mou only cared about drinking for fun, but forgot one important thing!" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and said with a faint smile, "What's the matter, General Ma?" "My lord, please allow Ma to tell me later." Ma Teng clasped his fists at Cao Cao and shouted to his servants standing outside the shed, "Wait, bring in that silver box!" There was a sound of footsteps, and the servant of Ma's mansion put a silver box on the table in front of Ma Teng.He held up the silver box with both hands respectfully, and presented it to Cao Cao: "This is a mere gift from Ma to the prime minister, and I hope you can accept it!"

Cao Cao gave a slight signal, and Simpi took the silver box from the side, and opened it in front of him, only to see that it was filled with a box of thick crystal liquid that looked like milk, not milk, or pulp, and it was completely white. , Sweet and fragrant, it is really attractive. "This is..." Cao Cao couldn't help being startled. "Prime Minister, this is a delicious delicacy unique to our frontier - fresh milk crisp!" Ma Teng smiled and introduced to him carefully, "This milk crisp is produced by Saibei Huaniu. It tastes sweet and delicious. , Fragrant and pleasant, it is the most precious treasure for cultivating vitality and nourishing the body. Your Excellency, you will know after a taste."

"Oh! Fresh milk shortbread? Can something like this be squeezed out of the cow?" Cao Cao looked at the box of fresh milk shortbread carefully for a while, wanting to eat it with a spoon, but he was afraid that there might be poison in the fresh milk shortbread. ; Want to put it down and not eat, but also afraid of being looked down upon by others and ridiculed for being timid.After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote the three small characters "Yihe Crisp" on the side of the silver box, and then told Simpi, "Send it to all the gentlemen here to have a look."

Everyone looked at the fresh milk crisps in the silver box one by one, and they all sighed unceasingly, passed them all the way down, and finally arrived at the table of Yang Xiu and Sima Yi. Sima Yi was looking at it secretly, but he saw Yang Xiu glanced at the three small words "Yihe Crisp" on the side of the silver box, and without saying anything, he picked up the silver spoon and scooped up a spoonful of milk into the box The crisp was sent into his own mouth and ate. "Yang Xiu! You are so bold!" Simpi couldn't help scolding when he saw it, "This is a gift from General Ma Teng to Prime Minister Cao—how dare you enjoy it without authorization..."

However, Yang Xiu smiled indifferently. Under the surprised and suspicious eyes of everyone, he bowed respectfully to Cao Cao and said, "Here, Mr. Yang, thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for giving me the milk cake!" Cao Cao's eyes were full of admiration, he laughed, stroked his beard and praised: "Mr. Yang is extremely intelligent, and the wisdom pearl is in his hands-the truth is that Taiwei Yang is very happy to have a Lin'er like you! By the way , you just solve that riddle for the gentlemen..." Yang Xiu nodded before turning around and explaining to the four people: "My lords, the three words 'Yihecri' written on the side of this silver box by the Prime Minister are actually an anagram: 'Yihecri', That is to say, 'one bite per person'. Therefore, I took the liberty to try this milk pastry first... To tell my lords, this milk pastry is really sweet, delicious and extremely delicious!"

When he said this, everyone suddenly realized and clapped their hands in praise.Sima Yi sat aside and looked at Yang Xiu, secretly admiring him.This Yang Xiu has a quick mind and a natural intelligence, he really deserves to be called a generation of geniuses! When Xin Pi heard this, he suppressed his anger, and hurriedly apologized to Yang Xiu, holding the silver box and passing the food all the way along the seats. After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao sighed deeply: "Heroes in the world, those who cherish their hearts, can only find virtuous sons behind them. The sons of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are like pigs and dogs! Like Yang Taiwei The son is like Yang Xiujun, the son of Sima Gong is like the brother of Sima Zhubu, and the son of General Ma is like the brother of Ma Chao, this can be regarded as a father, son, virtuous, and a good talk in the world! There are also several sons in the truth. Today, I would like to ask you to comment and give advice. ?” As he spoke, he cast his eyes on Ma Teng, Han Song, and Lu Su in the long seat on the right.

"Although I'm far away in the frontier state, I have heard that the prime minister is good at teaching his sons. These young masters are both civil and military, talented and virtuous. If I can meet you today, it is really a great fortune." Ma Teng, Han Song, Lu Su and others respectfully replied. "Hahahaha!" Cao Cao laughed triumphantly, stood up while laughing, and walked out of the shed. All the senior officials, officials of the Prime Minister's House, etc. stood up one after another, followed Cao Cao and filed out.
