With sufficient funds and the help of Cao Cao, the biggest local snake, Mu Shan's restaurant was quickly selected in Xuchang. It is adjacent to the mansions of high-ranking officials in the north, the mansions of wealthy businessmen in the south, the most prosperous street market in Xuchang to the east, and the most prosperous street in Xuchang to the west. The bustling and crowded civilian area can be said to be a prime location that many businesses are trying to get. "Pingsheng Restaurant." Cao Cao stood in front of Mu Shan's restaurant, stopped to watch, and said: "I am a guest of Qingyun Tower, and I live a healthy life. Guests from all over the world. Mu Shan, this couplet was not written by you, was it? Why didn't I know you were still here?" "Hehe, it's funny, it's funny." Mu Shan looked at the group of civil and military ministers behind Cao Cao, grinning from ear to ear, and said, "It's not like dancing, it's just for luck, isn't it?" Come, come in and do it, it just opened today, everything is 50% off!¡± ¡°Hehe, Brother Mu, okay, you changed your identity very quickly¡± Guo Jia smiled and walked past Mu Shan and said: "I just became a shopkeeper, and I immediately started talking about businessmen's polite words. With this understanding, it seems that I won't be hungry for the rest of my life." "Brother Mu, I wish you good luck in your business and a lot of money. " I am lonely and dangerous, and I don¡¯t know what will happen tomorrow, and I am always worried about my future. It is a blessing to be able to live a stable life like you." Zhang Liao patted Mu Shan with pity and regret. Looking over his shoulder, he seemed to be looking at a promising young man who had gone astray, and sighed: "Mu Shan, others have tried their best to find an official position, but you are different. You are not a good general, and you just I like to stay here as a small vendor. I really don¡¯t know whether I should say that you are indifferent to fame and wealth, or that you have no ambitions. "It was just the time when the opening ceremony had the most customers. Although the arrival of Cao Cao and others immediately made the place noisy and lively. The first floor became silent, but Mu Shan was still very happy. After all, as long as Cao Cao's identity was revealed here, the gangsters in the future would not dare to cause trouble in the restaurant even if they were given three courages. They were all acquaintances, and Mu Shan would not be polite to them. He took them directly to the second floor, pulled a few tables and pieces together, and greeted warmly: "Sit down, the food will be served soon." Cao Cao Looking at the long and wide table in front of him, he wondered: "Mu Shan, what are you doing?" "My lord, in business, Brother Mu now regards himself as a very stingy and profiteer. Let's take a look at it." Guo Jia glanced at Mu Shan and said, "One person will have one meal per person. It's expensive and troublesome. Instead, it's like putting it together like this. We only need a few meals. Being able to fool him has saved him a lot of money, but that's good, this way, we don't have to worry about food and drinks anymore, we can just treat this meal as Brother Mu's warm invitation." "Okay. , that¡¯s it!¡± When Cao Cao heard that it made sense, he quickly made the final decision and said, ¡°It¡¯s hard to deny kindness, but it would be disrespectful to refuse it. Mu Shan, hurry up and serve us some good wine and food. In order to come over and congratulate you, I'm still on an empty stomach." "I" Mu Shan felt dumb and looked at Guo Jia gloomily, saying, "Fengxiao, if you really are yours, give me a sap as soon as you come up. Okay, come on. I'll take it back from your food and drinks again." "Haha, that's fine, everyone sits in their own room. Although it feels like we're close to each other, there's also a sense of alienation." Sitting with the table makes us feel a little more intimate. From now on, when we come here to have a meal, we will only use this kind of big table. It can also save Brother Mu a lot of money." "Yes, that's what I said. , I guess the restaurant will have to feed you." Mu Shan quickly stood up and said, "You guys sit down first, I will bring you some food and drinks." Mu Shan happily greeted Xu Chu who was guarding the door. Listening to a little tune, the soles of his feet felt like stepping on cotton, and he walked down the stairs lightly. Seeing the noisy and prosperous scene on the first floor once again, and listening to them talking endlessly about the relationship between him and Ah Ma, Mu Shan was even more happy. Happy and happy to finally have a family business of my own. Walking into the kitchen on the first floor, Mu Shan didn't mind the chef's sneaking. He joked with him enthusiastically, then quickly walked back to the private room on the second floor with a large plate in one hand. "Yuan Shu has no outstanding merits and no good deeds, but he is so rampant in his time and arrogant. He is actually a dry bone in the grave and is nothing to worry about." Mu Shan stood at the door and already heard Xun Yu's gentle and jade-like voice. , hurriedly pushed the door open and said: "Hey, Mr. Xun, why are you discussing national affairs in my restaurant? I'm not afraid of people talking too much and leaking the news." "Haha, don't worry, Brother Mu."? With Zhong Kang guarding outside, who can eavesdrop on the news from us? "Guo Jia stood up and took the plate from Mu Shan's hand and said, "We are discussing when Yuan Shu will be defeated. When he met such a capable subordinate as Sun Ce, he deserved to be tricked to death. " Mu Shan arranged the food and wine on the plate one by one, knelt down next to Cao Cao, and asked with interest: "Oh, what's the matter with Guan Bofu again? " "Have you ever heard of the prophecy that those who came to Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao? "Guo Jia poured wine for everyone one by one, then he picked up the wine bottle and drank heavily. After a while, he burped with satisfaction and said: "As far as I know, there are such things scattered on Yuan Shu's territory. The person who made the prophecy came from Sun Ce's subordinates. Originally, I heard that Sun Ce used his father's jade seal in exchange for three thousand elites to go to Jiangdong to conquer the world. I just thought that his magnanimity was far beyond ordinary people. However, based on the analysis of his actions, it was just a killing move that he had planted in advance. " "After getting the jade seal, Yuan Shu's ambitions naturally expanded. Coupled with Sun Ce's deliberate provocation, he actually lost his mind, proclaimed himself emperor, and became the common enemy of the world. At this time, Sun Ce did not hesitate to declare independence from Yuan Shu, and expelled Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang appointed by Yuan Shu. He wrote a letter to instigate Yuan Shu's Guangling prefect Wu Jing and general Sun Bi to rebel, and seized Yuan Shu's Guangling, Jiangdong, etc. A large area of ??land" "He clearly betrayed Yuan Shu and robbed him of a large area of ??territory, but he was still praised for his integrity and loyalty, and for breaking off personal relations for the sake of justice. He is actually a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty" Guo Jia put down the wine bottle and was slightly worried. He said: "Sun Ce has capable people under his command! And it¡¯s not that deep. At least until now, I haven¡¯t been able to find out who is planning strategies for Sun Ce behind the scenes. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. It¡¯s this kind of enemy lurking under the water. If you don¡¯t kill him If you find out, this person will definitely become the Lord's biggest enemy in the future! "The capable person behind Sun Ce" Zhou Yu's elegant and quiet figure could not help but appear in Mu Shan's mind, and he was already 70% certain in his heart. "Brother Mu has a close personal relationship with Sun Ce. Do you know who Sun Ce associates with?" " "Fengxiao, please don't embarrass me! "Mu Shan put down the wine cup and said with a wry smile: "My personal relationship with Sun Ce happened ** years ago. Now I can only hear about him from your mouths. How can I know him better than you? subordinates. " "Forget it, we won't talk about these military and state affairs today. In response to what Mu Shan said, we will only talk about romance here, not about the major affairs of the country. "Cao Cao raised the wine prince and said: "Do it! " "Dry! "Everyone responded enthusiastically. Unexpectedly, as soon as the wine baron was put down, Cao Cao immediately became unserious: "Mu Shan, when are you planning to get married? Everyone here has a family. Even those who are younger than you will be filial piety earlier. Now that we are married, we are all waiting to drink your wedding wine. "Uh" Cao Cao asked too suddenly. Mu Shan didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only smile awkwardly and said: "It's coming, it's coming." " Cao Cao suddenly became very gossipy. With a spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, he pursued: "Is there someone you like? " Mu Shan put down the wine baron and said: "Amao, what do you want to say? " "My aunt asked me to be a matchmaker for you. If you don't have someone you like, I will tell you one from those wealthy families. Cao Cao blinked and said, "How?" Which eldest lady have you fallen in love with? " "I" "Don't say anything about it being soon. Auntie has been looking forward to this day for a long time. I see that you and Sima Yuchen are also in love with each other. If you don't object, I will go and tell her later that it will be a good marriage for you two and it will also make my aunt happy. " Seeing that the layer of veil that had always been separated by Cao Cao was torn through, Mu Shan's face suddenly turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he said coyly: "Can you do it? Please speak politely, otherwise Yuchen will not be able to do it. If you agree, it will not be easy to get along with you in the future! " "Oh, Mushan is still shy! "Cao Cao patted Mu Shan's shoulder proudly and laughed along with everyone: "Don't worry, being a matchmaker is not a piece of cake for me, Ah Man! You all have to think about what gifts to prepare when you get home. This is a big event for Mushan, so don¡¯t be careless! Come on, come on, have a drink, and make sure you don¡¯t get drunk today! "
