The look of disappointment in the eyes of the lord of Liuzhai was fully seen by Qin Ze. I'm afraid that in the heart of the lord of Liuzhai, he still thinks that he will come up with something terrible, even if it is not as good as salt, at least it is about the same.

But now this black piece, what else would it be if it wasn't ordinary charcoal?

The profit of charcoal is very low, because it usually takes at least two or three days to make a kiln of charcoal, and it is necessary to build a special kiln. Moreover, if the heat is not grasped properly, it may also cause quality problems.

Therefore, it can't be calculated at all, and the finished product rate is also extremely low, so when he saw Qin Ze take out this thing, the owner of Liuzhai would be so disappointed.

His disappointment was naturally understandable, but Qin Ze was not in a hurry. Chong Liuzhai raised his hand and motioned for him to take a good look at the charcoal.

Seeing Qin Ze like this, Old Man Liu also frowned and picked up the charcoal. This one found an anomaly, and I only felt that this charcoal was more important than what I had seen before. At that moment, he was also interested, and Old Man Liu gently broke the charcoal from it, only to find that the center of the charcoal was black and shiny, and there was a faint metallic luster.

"This ......" Old man Liu held the charcoal, and the contempt on his face was also swept away. Looking at Qin Ze's eyes, he was also full of curiosity.

"Has the lord of Liuzhai ever seen Qin build this kiln?" Qin Ze asked Old Man Liu very confidently, from now on, the initiative is in his hands.

Old man Liu shook his head, it was only three days. No matter how fast Qin Ze and the others moved, it would be impossible to build a fire kiln. Thinking of this, Old Man Liu's face became more and more confused, thinking that he was touching a demon and a monster, and he would conjure salt and charcoal out of thin air.

"Qin doesn't know a new method of charcoal burning, and there is no need to build a special kiln. Even the most stupid person can learn it by watching it once. As for speed, it only takes about four hours for a kiln. Qin Ze said slowly.

When Qin Ze burned charcoal before, he was all carrying people from Liumu Village on his back. So although they saw Qin Ze piling up dirt bags, they only thought that this was some strange custom.

Now that Qin Ze mentioned this, Old Man Liu also immediately thought of those dirt bags. At the moment, he also understood a little, and looked at the charcoal in his hand again, and then Old Man Liu raised his head and looked at Qin Ze and asked, "Gongzi Qin is so painstaking, but what is the picture?" ”

Yes, I took out the things that made Old Man Liu tempting, and the next thing is to talk about the conditions. Qin Ze was still very satisfied with Old Man Liu's interesting approach.

Qin Ze smiled and said, "Qin Ze is unfamiliar with the place when he first arrives, so he naturally has to rely on the master of Liuzhai a lot. To be able to contribute his own strength to Liumuzhai, Qin is also not very honored. After all, Qin already regarded himself as a member of Liumu Village. ”

This is really a drop of water, and he believes that Old Man Liu knows what he means. Using charcoal in exchange for shelter was something that Qin Ze couldn't blame.

But Old Man Liu didn't think so, on the contrary, the more Qin Ze gave in like this, the more curious he was about Qin Ze's intentions.

"It seems that Qin Gongzi is planning to stay in my Liumu Village for a long time?" Old man Liu pretended to be confused, and went around in the hope of being able to get some more things out of Qin Ze.

It's like buying something and looking at something you like. In order to spend less money, it is natural to make some picking.

Old man Liu is picking on thorns now, the identity of the key person is here, no matter how he questions Qin Ze, it is a matter of course.

And all Qin Ze could do was to keep making tea for Old Man Liu, and every time he threw in it, there was more and more salt.

Don't you like to pick thorns?

I'll give you more salt water, and see if you can pick it out?

Throwing a handful of salt into Old Man Liu's tea again, Qin Ze replied with a slight expression: "Liumu Village is tantamount to a paradise for Qin Ze, hidden in the dense forest, and conceived in nature. The folk customs are simple and happy. Qin fled from the war-torn place, and when he saw such a good place, he naturally wanted to have a good life, so why did the lord of Liuzhai ask so much? What's more, Qin and the others are in Liumu Village, what can they do. The lord of Liuzhai thinks about the clansmen, Qin naturally understands, why not give Qin a chance? ”

"The folk customs are simple?" Old Man Liu's tone changed obviously, and a pair of eyes stared at Qin Ze and continued: "Liu Laosan is indeed honest, and the Liu family is also famous for his kindness. But if such a person is the case, Qin Gongzi also wants to use it, which really makes Xiao Lao'er feel uneasy. ”

Having said that, basically both of them have shown all their hole cards, and it is obviously not suitable to go on to support at this time.

So Qin Ze sighed directly, and his whole body loosened up and changed to a very relaxed posture.

Seeing Qin Ze like this, Old Man Liu was also a little puzzled, and was about to ask. Qin Ze said directly: "Okay, you and me, Lord Liuzhai, don't say more." You know what Qin Ze wants now, and Qin also knows what Liu Muzhai needs now. As for Liu Laosan, Qin Mou deceived him, let alone took advantage of it. Didn't the lord of Liuzhai see how happy we are now? ”

"Hmph, since Qin Gongzi doesn't want to go around the bend, then the little old man will say it directly. It is not impossible for Qin Gongzi to stay in Liumu Village, but he must have three chapters of the law. First, Qin Gongzi must let those who are watching us withdraw, and must not interfere in the affairs of Liumu Village. And in return, Xiao Lao'er can promise Qin Gongzi that he will never tell others about you and others. Old man Liu finally didn't drink the tea handed over by Qin Ze again, his mouth was really dry, and if he drank it again, he would probably be really speechless.

Hearing Old Man Liu say this, Qin Ze also nodded and signaled that he agreed. As long as the other party can really keep its promise, there is really no need for Zhou Cheng to continue to monitor them.

"Second, Qin Gongzi must teach us the method of charcoal, and as for the proceeds, you can share one percent."

"Very good!"

Seeing that Qin Ze was so refreshing, Old Man Liu also nodded and continued: "Third, the salt made by Qin Gongzi must be bought at a low price for me and others. ”

Speaking of which, it is still impossible to bypass a table of salt, and the people of Liumu Village can not eat enough for a month, but they cannot go without salt for a week. And in this era of backward preservation technology, table salt can be said to be a good preservative. The prey that you can't eat on weekdays can be pickled completely.

Qin Ze originally didn't plan to make money from the people of Liumuzhai, and some people didn't have money at all, so these three also readily agreed.

"Qin still says the same thing, Qin can still afford the salt for the lord of Liuzhai to drink tea, as for wanting to use salt to do business, Qin categorically disagrees."

"Naturally, the little old man would not be so stupid." The lord of the willow village glanced at Qin Ze with great disdain and said.

Qin Ze shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

This time, the conversation with Old Man Liu was unexpectedly smooth for Qin Ze, of course, this was also because the other party was also a smart person who knew how to square inches.

The day after agreeing to Old Man Liu, Qin Ze began to teach the people of Liumu Village how to make carbon.

The method is also very simple, but the stacking of wood is a problem. Because if the wood is stacked too loosely, a large amount of wood will be burned in vain. If the pile is too tight, it will cause the charcoal to burn inadequately.

Fortunately, there is wood in this willow village, and there is no problem if you fail once or twice. When Qin Ze was teaching these people, Old Man Liu was also following aside. It's like an overseer, for fear that Qin Ze will hide it.

In this regard, Qin Ze could only scold him a few words in his heart, and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

In this way, under Qin Ze's careful teaching, the charcoal that passed the first kiln was finally burned out two days later. The kiln opened by Old Man Liu himself excitedly took out the charcoal one by one and looked at them one by one.

Each root should be broken open from the middle to see the color inside. Then he put it to his ear and tapped it, as if he were a miser, listening to the sound of a silver dollar.

After burning the charcoal from the first kiln, Qin Ze's status in the mind of Liumu Village. It has risen a lot again, and has changed from the image of a fool to an image of generosity.

These simple people expressed their gratitude very simply, and they kept taking out some air-dried dried meat from home and giving them to Qin Ze. There were also people who volunteered to mention Qin Ze and they cut down trees to build houses, and at this time, almost the entire Liumu Village was mobilized by Qin Ze and them.

With so many helpers, Qin Ze's house was built extremely quickly. Originally, with Zhou Cheng's speed, it would take at least a month. But now, with the help of everyone, it took less than half a month to build a total of four three-in, three-out courtyards.

If you look at the scale, it faintly surpasses Old Man Liu. It's just that one person lives in such a big house, but Qin Ze and several of them live together.

But the speed is so fast, even Old Man Liu sighed for a while. It is estimated that if Qin Ze didn't have the intention of usurping the throne, he would have started to worry about his position.

Half a month is enough time for Qin Ze and the people of Liumu Village to mingle. Since Qin Ze appeared, the people of the entire Liumu Village have never worried about salt again.

Qin Ze is also willing to suffer, whether you bring a few pieces of broken iron or some old grain, even if you can't take out anything, as long as you say that it will not be a problem to borrow you first.

Suffering is a blessing, this is Qin Ze's strategy.

And it turns out that his strategy is also very good, today is the day when Liumu Village goes to sell charcoal. Early in the morning, in the open space in front of Old Man Liu's door, five or six ox carts were parked. They are all good helpers for farming on weekdays, but they are also much more obedient than horses.

Old man Liu personally led the team, and the ninth brother Lingna and they pressed the team on the side. Although Qin Ze wanted to know how the other party got out of Liumu Village, he still suppressed this curiosity.

Now is not the time, especially for the people of Liumu Village, if they really know how to get out of here, they will know how many of them are Old Man Liu. So Qin Ze naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to touch the mold.

He didn't even have the idea of letting impermanence follow, trusting this thing was extremely fragile, he had time anyway.

For example, he is now sitting in the only carpenter's house in Liumu Village, and he is very careful to teach him how to make a chair.
