Early the next morning.

Chen Zhou was rich, and he couldn't help but go out shopping and buy something by the way.

It's the end of December now, and the New Year will be coming soon, and he doesn't know very well whether the New Year of the Three Kingdoms is hot or not, but he still has a sense of ritual for his own New Year, so he bought a lot of things and went back.

Thinking that it is still winter, the weather is still cold.

Chen Zhou also wants to buy some carbon back to keep warm, if he has time, he can also use it for barbecue and warm wine on the New Year's Day, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, which is very beautiful.

In ancient times, farmers would cut down trees to burn charcoal and sell it in the city, which was also a way for farmers to make a living.

However, winter is coming to an end, and spring will begin in a while.

Now there are not many people selling carbon in Puyang City, and some large households have already accumulated enough carbon to burn through the winter, and the market has become smaller, and the number of people selling charcoal has decreased.

Chen Zhou walked around the city and bought a little, as if it was not enough.

"This son, do you still want carbon?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came over with a cart of carbon and said with a smile: "I still have carbon here, I can sell it to you, it is all very good carbon." ”

"I'll see."

Before Chen Zhou crossed, he grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and he was very familiar with carbon, so he looked at it briefly for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Are you sure these are really carbon?" Didn't lie to me? ”

Faced with such a questioning tone, the middle-aged man was obviously a little weak-hearted, and said reluctantly: "Of course it's carbon, how dare I lie to my son?" ”

"I think you really dare to lie to me, don't think I don't know carbon."

Chen Zhou snorted lightly: "If you continue to quibble, I can only take you to see the official and find Puyang Ling to comment." ”

"I ...... This ......"

The middle-aged man was anxious, struggled to the end, and apologized: "Childe is sorry, I ...... too"

Chen Zhou interrupted: "Okay, I bought all your carbon, but the price is lower." ”

"Really? Good, good......"

Seeing that there were still unexpected surprises, the middle-aged man no longer dared to ask for a high price, so he gave Chen Zhou a low price and was responsible for home delivery.

Chen Zhou also bought his board car.

Back at home, Chen Zhou asked Cao Cao to arrange for his soldiers, pulled these things away, went to the military camp outside the city, and found Cao Ang.

To build things such as the King Kong umbrella and the flying tiger claw, you have to forge iron.

People in this era do not know how to forge too hard steel, even if it can be forged, it also needs to invest a lot of money, even if there are not many weapons in the army, the cost is too high, although it is sharp and hard, it can improve combat effectiveness, but it is not used, and it is reluctant to invest so much.

After all, after a battle, you will lose a lot of weapons.

Therefore, most of the weapons of soldiers in the army are still ordinary iron tools.

The tools that Chen Zhou needed for tomb robbery, the strength of ordinary iron tools was not enough, and iron must be used.

"Sir!"

Cao Ang was nearby, and rushed over and asked, "What are your orders?" ”

Chen Zhou said: "I brought a truckload of coal, which is something that is hotter than carbon, and I want you to help me create a few special little things." ”

The middle-aged man just now sold not carbon, but coal, but I don't know where he got so much coal.

Coal and carbon are both black, the man wants to get by, he thinks that Chen Zhou is brightly dressed, and he shouldn't know how to tell if it's coal, but Chen Zhou knows how to tell the difference.

Immediately recognizable as coal.

However, Chen Zhou still accepted it.

Prepare to build a self-defense paraphernalia, just in case.

After all, this is a troubled time, and he is not as good as Dian Wei, so he has to toss a few small things to defend himself.

Safety is very important to him.

Chen Zhou told them all the things that needed to be built, and then told them the use of coal, and also told those skilled craftsmen, and the next thing was to wait.

As long as there is technology, I believe they will not disappoint Chen Zhou.

"Don't worry, sir, we know how to do it."

Cao Ang agreed.

Chen Zhou left the camp and went home to sort out the things he bought today.

Time flies.

Before you know it, it's the day before the New Year.

Chen Zhou went out to buy some mutton and some dog meat, and bought honey and pepper at a high price, made a dipping sauce, and made a barbecue grill.

Of course, there is no shortage of such things as wine.

Although Cao Cao had already ordered that no more wine was allowed, the inventory of those merchants had not yet been cleared.

As long as you have money, you can still buy it.

It's not snowing anymore, and the snow is still there.

It's still cold.

At this time, it is more appropriate to play hot pot or barbecue.

Chen Zhou didn't make a hot pot, so he asked people to clean the snow on the ground, set up a barbecue grill, and prepared to roast it for the first time in the Three Kingdoms period, and invited Lao Dian over.

Dian Wei understands that there is wine to drink, and it is impossible not to come.

After Cao Cao banned alcohol, he was very greedy.

When I first arrived, I drank almost a jar of wine, and I drank it very refreshingly.

"Wataratina, it's so fragrant!"

Cao Cao came in at this time and said with a smile: "I wanted to come and see what was missing in the Watari family, but I didn't expect Mr. to be so comfortable tonight, it turns out that Lao Dian is also there!" ”

"Lord!"

They got up and said.

"Sit, no need to be polite!"

Cao Cao smiled politely.

Chen Zhou warmed a glass of wine for Cao Cao, handed over the roasted mutton, and said with a smile: "My lord, this is called barbecue, I eat it with those dipping sauces, and with some wine, it is very comfortable." ”

"It's really comfortable, and it tastes good."

Cao Cao tasted it and laughed: "I'm not invited, everything is enough to eat, right?" ”

Chen Zhou said: "If it's enough, the lord can let it go and eat!" ”

Dian Wei looked at the wine jars with a blank eye and asked, "Lord, can I drink some more wine?" ”

"Haha...... All-you-can-drink! ”

Cao Cao agreed, "Tonight is the exception. ”

Dian Wei said happily: "Thank you, lord!" ”

In that case, he's not welcome.

Drinking wine is the same as drinking water, and after three or two times, I finish a jar, and then eat some barbecue, and I don't feel my stomach swell at all.

"The lord came to me, it shouldn't be as simple as wanting to have a barbecue with me, right?"

Chen Zhou saw Cao Cao's thoughts, and when he came to find it at this time, there must be other requests.

Cao Cao smiled: "Those who know me, cross it!" I did have something to do, and we didn't have enough food. ”

"Running out so quickly?"

Chen Zhou asked in surprise.

"The grain bought back needs to be distributed to the people who are short of food in the entire Yanzhou, and the amount of distribution is huge."

"Those grain merchants know that I have money, and they took the opportunity to raise the price of grain, and the money that Watashi dug back, there is not much grain that can be bought, and now that it is distributed, I find that it will not take long, I want to ask Watachi to dig again."

Cao Cao said embarrassedly.

After all, for the Chinese New Year, it is not appropriate to invite Chen Zhou to rob the tomb.

Chen Zhou thought for a while and asked, "How long can the grain that the lord has on hand last at present?" ”

"Everyone in Yanzhou eats it, about a month."

Cao Cao said: "It sounds like a lot, but after a month I have to starve again, but this snow is good, the weather should be good next year, and when the spring ploughing can be smoothly cleared, there will be no shortage of food this year." ”

"The lord asked someone to send some classics over, and I will see which royal tombs are nearby."

Chen Zhou agreed, and continued: "But I still have an idea, the lord will raise the price of grain regardless of this month, the higher the better." ”
