In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"Let's go, since they've gone to deliver the wooden plaque."

"It's time we did something big."

"Go and promote Shenwei Lao."

"Big brother!"

"Where should we go to promote it? I can't wait to show off my eloquence!"

"I'm going to the teahouse! I'm going to the Imperial Academy! I'm going to tell them how amazing our hot pot is!"

This kind of thing is quite private.

Ding Yi was dressed in a scholar's robe.

Most importantly, he was too obvious.

Walking down the street, you'll get 100% attention.

As soon as he opens his mouth

Everyone knows this is "that one-eyed genius Ding Yi".

"That's proper etiquette."

Zhao Yu patted Ding Yi on the shoulder.

"Don't go yet."

"Why? Didn't my older brother say I did a pretty good job?"

"Yes, precisely because you're doing so well, you don't need to go out and create hype."

"What's the key to creating momentum? It's about doing it subtly and quietly."

"You're like a lighthouse, too ostentatious."

Ding Yi said, feeling wronged, "Then... what am I supposed to do?"

"go home."

"You have a more challenging task ahead of you."

"Go back and practice your calligraphy."

"Make all the dish names in this restaurant more elegant, instead of vulgar."

"For example, mutton shouldn't be called mutton, it should be called 'Grassland Snow'."

"Pig brains shouldn't be called pig brains; they should be called 'top scholar brains.'"

"And those ten [Hero Tokens], you'd better write them in a very creative way."

"This job is perfect for you."

Upon hearing "It has to be you," Ding Yi immediately thought...

My back straightened immediately.

"Yes, brother!"

"I'll head back right now! I promise I'll write the recipe in a way that's even harder to understand than the 'Li Sao' (a famous classical Chinese poem)!"

Zhao Yu turned around.

He looked at Cao Jie and gave a wicked smile.

"Alright, the Kongming lantern is gone."

"Second Miss, now it's just the two of us."

"Walk."

"Let's go and teach the people of Xudu a good lesson."

……

First stop, teahouse

This is the place where you're most well-informed.

After changing their clothes, Zhao Yu and Cao Jie found a corner to sit down.

I ordered the cheapest tea.

Zhao Yu lowered the brim of his hat.

They deliberately kept the volume so that it could be heard by the two tables on either side.

"Hey, Brother Jie!"

"Have you heard? The day after tomorrow, that shop in the West Market that's been covered in black cloth is finally opening."

Cao Jie (His acting is on point, he looks shocked):

"real?"

"That shop is so mysterious, what exactly does it do?"

Zhao Yu leaned closer mysteriously:

"That belongs to the Prime Minister's residence."

"I have a relative who works in the imperial kitchen, and he told me this secretly."

"The soup base in that shop...tsk tsk tsk."

What's wrong with the soup base?

A fat old man at the next table couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Zhao Yu pretended not to see it.

"That's a top-secret formula left behind by the legendary physician Bian Que!"

"It was originally for that person in the palace... cough cough, to nourish her body."

"A cure for men's 'unspeakable problems'!"

Cao Jie inhaled sharply, as if to cooperate:

"Hiss—a secret recipe? Bian Que? Really?"

"nonsense!"

Zhao Yu slapped his thigh.

"Think about it, at Changban Slope, why was that fierce general carrying a child able to charge in and out seven times?"

"It was this soup that I drank!"

"Otherwise, with that build, he would have collapsed long ago!"

"besides!"

Zhao Yu pointed to the west.

"You know General Ma Teng, right? He's over sixty."

"I heard that in Xiliang, that's Ye Yu... cough cough, that's full of life!"

"It's because I drank this soup!"

"I heard that after drinking it, you'll have an incredible... irresistible erection!"

The fat old man at the next table trembled.

Is this exciting?

Bian Que? Kidney tonic? Ma Teng?

These three keywords together,

For middle-aged men, it's an irresistible curse.

The old man threw down two copper coins and ran away as if his pants were on fire.

It seems he's preparing to go and talk to his fellow sufferers.

……

The second stop.

High-end teahouses near Jinxiuzhuang.

(Targeting scions of wealthy families who want to marry into higher social classes)

If the first stop was a gathering place for the poor, then this place is where many celebrities and young masters gather.

Zhao Yu was waving a silk book with a sketch on it in his hand.

She deliberately "accidentally" dropped it at the feet of a wealthy young man who was bragging to his friends.

"Oh dear, my admission ticket!"

Zhao Yu looked panicked and quickly went to pick it up.

That young master was quick-witted and agile.

He grabbed her hand and said, "Wait!"

"What does it say on this... 'To the Chief Steward of the Prime Minister's Residence'?"

"Is this for Miss Cao?"

Upon hearing the words "Young Miss," the surrounding young men...

They couldn't hold back any longer.

The eldest daughter of the Cao family.

Cao Qing.

That's a legendary figure.

She was the head of the Prime Minister's household, in charge of Cao Cao's finances.

He married her.

It's equivalent to marrying half of the Prime Minister's family's financial power.

Many people dream of marrying into the family, but the young lady has extremely high standards and looks down on everyone.

Zhao Yu snatched the blueprints back and stuffed them into his pocket:

I'm extremely annoyed.

"How did it get retrieved here?!"

"Oh well, now that you've seen us..."

To be honest...

"The young lady is hiring recently."

"What kind of people are you hiring?"

"Hurry up and tell me, I'm so impatient!"

"Looking for a 'perfect husband' who can help her manage her finances!'"

"real?"

"Is that even possible?"

Zhao Yu lowered his voice,

"The young lady said she's tired of those good-for-nothings who only know how to write sentimental poems."

"She wants to see financial resources and decisiveness!"

"So, she's going to hold an 'interview' at Shenweilao."

Zhao Yu pointed to his chest.

"Did you see this hero's token?"

"Only ten copies available in total!"

"Whoever manages to snag this card will have their name engraved on the store's list, right below the Prime Minister's name!"

"Who will be the first person the young lady sees when she checks the accounts next time?"

"Imagine what that scene would look like?"

"This is our opportunity!"

Zhao Yu continued to increase his bets.

"This is the ticket to the inner circle of the Prime Minister's residence, to the pinnacle of life!"

"Just imagine, if you could have a meal with the young lady and help her with her accounts..."

"From now on, won't Xu Du be able to do whatever he wants?"

All around me were gasps of surprise.

The young masters' eyes turned red.

It wasn't just for love, but also for power and wealth.

"One hundred thousand coins?"

"Don't even mention 100,000; I'd sell my house to buy this card!"

"This is an investment! Don't you understand?!"

"Quick! Go home and get the money!"

……

The third stop was at the entrance of the Imperial Academy.

The fourth stop, ...

Zhao Yu and Cao Jie's throats were practically burning.

But the effect is significant.

The entire city of Xudu was already in an uproar.

"Zhao Yu".

As Cao Jie walked, he rubbed his face, which had stiffened from smiling.

"Weren't we... being too mean?"

"Using my older sister's name to swindle people..." "What if my older sister finds out..."

Stay calm, everything else is just passing clouds.

"rest assured."

"My eldest sister is busy checking the accounts of the estates below and doesn't have time to deal with this matter."

"We'll see."

"We're doing this to recruit talent (exploit her) for her."

"When we open and start counting the money, she'll be thanking me profusely."
