Chapter 259: Another New Year
"Salt?"
This makes Cao Cao and them not very understanding.
The salt that everyone eats is actually about the same, so where does this come from?
Chen Zhou knew their doubts and clapped his hands.
Immediately, someone sent a bowl of salt to Cao Cao's table.
"That's the salt I use."
Chen Zhou said again.
Cao Cao picked it up and looked at it, stood up in shock and asked, "How can there be such a beautiful salt in the world?" ”
He also tasted it, and these salts are only plain salty, and they taste very good, and the key is that they are still very good.
The others looked at the bowl in Cao Cao's hand at the same time, and finally saw what the salt looked like, and they had just finished subverting their cognition of pork, and they were about to subvert their cognition of salt again.
"Wataratina's salt, it's so beautiful?"
Cheng Yu was surprised.
Chen Zhou said: "This is a salt-making method that I have improved, the salt I make is very good-looking, the cost is still very low, I will give the specific method to Wen Cheng and Wen Tai, if the lord needs it, you can find them." ”
Salt was an important strategic material in ancient times.
It is also one of the essential elements of the human body.
Without salt, there is no taste in anything you eat, and at the same time, salt is super expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.
Chen Zhou didn't plan to sell salt himself, and handed this over to Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao's strategic vision was not narrow, he knew how to use this salt to create all possibilities for himself.
When Cao Hong and the others heard this, they called Chen Zhou in their hearts, he can handle it!
Such a big credit, if you say it to them, you can give it to them, without hesitation at all, and give it so simply.
If it weren't for Sikong Mansion, they couldn't help it, and they wanted to take Chen Zhou out to worship, and they would share blessings and hardships in the future.
"Really?"
Cao Cao asked in surprise.
Chen Zhou nodded affirmatively: "It's naturally true, the lord has needs, he can take it himself, and the effect of salt can be very great." ”
"Thank you Wataryuki for your generosity!"
Cao said.
He could see the intention of Chen Zhou's banquet today.
One is to raise pigs, wanting to bring them cheaper and delicious meat.
The second is salt, an important strategic material.
At this time, most of the salt was under the control of the family, and the salt they could buy came from the family, and only the family could have the ability and heritage to monopolize.
Cao Cao tried to take back the salt franchise many times, but was unsuccessful.
Because the interests behind the salt are too great, the family and scholars are not allowed to use this interest.
With Chen Zhou's salt, those families can basically stand aside, and in the next salt market, Cao Cao can guarantee that no one will win for themselves!
He can even, ahead of all the Maisons.
"It's too much to do for me."
This emotion, Cao Cao is not the first time to send out.
Whenever he sighed like this, he felt that he had treated Chen Zhou badly and couldn't give Chen Zhou enough in return.
Chen Zhou replied: "The lord is polite! ”
Everyone else looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
They were amazed and surprised, but no one dared to be jealous.
Because Chen Zhou's abilities are real, they can't be jealous, unless they can be as powerful as Chen Zhou.
"Congratulations to my lord, I can get the assistance of Watari."
Guo Jia got up and shouted just right.
"Congratulations, my lord!"
Others then congratulated with joy.
The stronger Chen Zhou's ability, the greater Cao Cao's chances of pacifying the world.
The world is calm, and all of you here are all founding heroes, although the credit is not as big as Chen Zhou's, but it will definitely not be small.
Today's feast ended with their congratulatory voices.
Cao Cao found that today's harvest is great!
The surprise that Chen Zhou brought him was too great!
It's just that Chen Zhou didn't stay at Cao's house for too long.
After leaving all the things that should have been given to Cao Cao, he went home and brought the pork back to his family to taste, although it was not as delicious as the cattle and sheep, but the first time he tried it, it felt very good.
Meal.
"Husband, your math book is already on sale in the bookstore."
Cao Shan brought a copy of the book that she bought in the bookstore today, and said with a smile: "It's just that the content on it is too profound, can other people understand it?" ”
"If you don't understand, you can learn in Taixue when the time comes."
Chen Zhou said with a smile: "Make the book first, and someone will understand it in the future." ”
Qiao Ying agreed: "My husband is right, our husband has this ability, so we should show it to everyone." ”
They chatted for a while about math books, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
——
Time is fast, it's New Year's time.
After this year, when the ice and snow melt, the battle of Guandu will soon be fought.
It's just that, according to Chen Zhou's understanding of Yuan Shao, this battle will not start immediately, and the preparatory work will have to be done for at least a month or two, unless Yuan Shao is so impatient that he will fight directly.
In addition, before the official confrontation with Guandu.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there are also some small frictions.
and Yuan Shaohui used Liu Bei to open up a second battlefield in Runan, etc., which were all calculated by Chen Zhou.
However, now that there is still enough time to prepare, Chen Zhou is not in a hurry.
"Husband, this is the new clothes we have sewn for you."
Lu Lingqi took a piece of clothing, handed it to Chen Zhou, and said with a smile: "It's what my husband said, the new year has a new look, and the clothes should be new, so as to give people a feeling of refreshment." ”
Chen Zhou put on the new clothes they had prepared for himself and asked, "What about you?" ”
"Of course we have new ones."
Liu Ling said happily: "What do we need to do next?" ”
After the edict incident, Liu Ling decided to completely let go of her identity and leave everything else behind, from now on, she is just one of Chen Zhou's wives.
Except for this identity, there is nothing else, and no other things are considered.
Chen Zhou said: "I haven't thought of it for the time being, what can be done, do you have any ideas?" ”
They all shook their heads.
"Why don't we still barbecue?"
Cao Shan proposed: "Last year, my husband and I had a barbecue, and now the weather is cold, while roasting the fire, while warming the wine, it is easy to sweat at the end of the meal, which is the most suitable." ”
Chen Zhou thought this proposal was good, and agreed: "That's it, I'll arrange for someone to prepare." ”
When there are more people in the family, it can be more lively when eating barbecue.
It's just that Chen Zhou considered that Er Qiao and Lu Lingqi, although they lived with him, they hadn't married him yet, and he seemed to be a little sorry for them.
"Shan'er, you recently got married, can you?"
Chen Zhou thought for a while and asked, "Will we get married one day?" ”
Marriage needs to choose an auspicious day, which is not only a common thing for modern people, but also no exception in ancient times, and ancient people attached more importance to auspicious days and were more superstitious.
When Qiao Shuang and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
It's finally time to get married.
"It should work."
Cao Shan said: "I'll find someone to check, if the auspicious day is suitable, you will get married immediately, and get married together, okay?" ”
"Good!"
Er Qiao and Lu Lingqi, the three of them said in unison.
I have been longing for marriage for a long time.
