People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 83 083: Red Winter

The days are slowly advancing, the weather is getting colder day by day, and there are cold knives hidden in the air.Every breath, these knives have to stab several times in the lungs.

"The weather is too cold!" Cai Xiaolan breathed into her hands. Behind her was the tofu shop, which was carrying out steaming boxes of tofu.

In the cold winter, no one can resist such a piece of smooth and tender tofu.There are still a lot of people queuing up.Although nine tofu shops have opened in the city, people are still willing to go to the west of the city to buy.

It has nothing to do with the nine little girls in uniform.No one in the Tang Dynasty understood the temptation of uniforms.

"Who says it's not the case!" Xu Yinlian ran out of the shop wearing a thick coat. She happened to hear Cai Xiaolan's sigh and couldn't help but agree.

"Sister Xu, what are you busy with in such a hurry?" Cai Xiaolan was curious. Xu Yinlian was usually happy to stay busy in the backyard and didn't want to show off.

"Yesterday, eight people ordered a box of tofu to sell in the countryside. The pressure on the tofu in the store is great! I will go to the warehouse to get two sets of tools!"

Cai Xiaolan nodded, after selling every day, everyone can basically perform their duties.

"It's almost three months, and the red task can be done again!" Cai Xiaolan turned on the light curtain, and the thick red line above the daily task was particularly obvious.

"Come on!" Cai Xiaolan always remembered the fate of not completing the red mission.

The frost was brutal and the wind was cold.This year's winter is extremely cold, the price of charcoal fire, firewood, silk, and furs has risen... The rich and powerful are still deliberately raising the prices of cold-resistant items even though they are wearing warm clothes.

Unfortunate!The charcoal fire was dug by the slaves, the firewood was cut down by the mountain people, the silk floss was woven by the weavers, and the furs were hunted by the hunters...Why should they freeze to death?Let the poor people in Yangzhou City and nearby villages freeze to death no more than a hundred people.

Reward: Cotton Weaving Method 72

Although Cai Xiaolan can't know the contents in advance, if she gets the 72 methods, only cotton will be left after the appearance of cotton cloth.

"What an injustice! Why are you always one step behind? If you come out on this mission early, can people still freeze to death in the winter?" Cai Xiaolan mentally scolded the system.Other people's systems are just a matter of time, but her system is always an afterthought.

Cai Xiaolan understands the current situation very well.Of the nine apprentices in my family, only one has good conditions and can wear warm clothes, while the rest of the families cannot wear warm clothes.

The uniforms Cai Xiaolan provided for them were all autumn clothes. After leaving the tofu shop, they couldn't suppress the cold wind outside at all, but only one of them had thick clothes lined inside.

She visited 19 cloth shops in the city to find out the price of silk floss, and found that it was not possible for anyone to have clothes for everyone.Unless she could find warm cotton in bulk right now.

Picking small orchids bought winter clothes for the nine little cooks at a high price, and then returned to Tianfu Jucai Residence without stopping.She plans to undergo a wave of transformation.

"Auntie, I can't stand this winter." Cai Xiaolan kept stamping her feet. After only staying in the house for a short while, her hands and feet became cold from the cold.

"Who says it isn't? I stay in the kitchen all the time. It's warm over there."

"No, we have to add something!" Cai Xiaolan was already confused.

She circled the house three or four times, and drew two curved lines on the ground, "Haha, that's a good idea!"

Cui Lushi has long been familiar with the strangeness.

After drawing the lines, Cai Xiaolan thought about what to use to build the passage, and her thoughtful eyes couldn't help but stare at the black bricks in the yard.

This thing was made during the floods when I had nothing to do.It is resistant to high temperatures, but not strong enough to build a house. It is just suitable for paving pathways.

The powerful Cai Xiaolan immediately began to dig the ground.Along the lines drawn earlier, two front and back through passages were dug on the ground. The combination of the two basically circled the house.There are two more exits.

The fire-burning stoves are embedded on both sides of the house. In order to ensure heating, she got two stoves for heating at once.

With the black bricks in the house, it is more than enough to build these things.The mud was mixed, the joints were filled, and the original stone slabs were laid on top.

That is to say, I worked until night.

The others couldn't bear it anymore and went back to Liujiazhuang to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, Cui Lu went to Tianfu Jucai Residence in a donkey cart.Cai Xiaolan didn't go back all night last night, she was very worried.

"Xiaolan!" she shouted throughout the yard.

Something is wrong!Cui Lushi couldn't find anyone in the kitchen, so she panicked.It's cold at night, so the kitchen can accommodate people.Everywhere else is too cold.

She pushed open the door of the lobby, only to feel a gust of heat rushing towards her face.Cai Xiaolan is sitting on a table against the wall.

"Xiaolan, why didn't you go home last night?" Cui Lu was angry.

"Ah?" Cai Xiaolan was startled, turned around and saw that it was Auntie, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Auntie, it was too late last night, so I didn't go back."

"What do you think of the temperature here?" Cai Xiaolan pointed to the invisible but clearly felt heat like offering a treasure, full of joy.

"Is this an earth dragon?" As expected of the Cui Lu family who had once been rich, he was well-informed.

Cai Xiaolan nodded repeatedly.

"Then why don't you set up a fire in the house?"

"The furnace can only be connected to one family, and the earth dragon can connect many families at once, such as the gathering place outside the west gate, the people there can't afford it!" Cai Xiaolan told Cui Lushi her consideration.

"What? Do you want to help those people again?"

"Hey, if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, but if you are rich, you can help the world!"

Having nothing to say, Cui Lu could only give a thumbs up.

……

Cai Xiaolan used the same reason to persuade Li Yunguang to agree to build the earth dragon at the gathering place outside the west gate and supply charcoal, while she herself provided the black bricks needed to build the earth dragon.

"If you are poor, you will benefit yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world!" Li Yunguang repeated what Cai Xiaolan said casually just now, "This sentence is so reasonable! Next time I write a memorial to the saint, I must use this sentence!"

Cai Xiaolan's image has grown a lot.

In order to speed up the construction of Dilong, Cai Xiaolan went to Liujiazhuang and hired a dozen people to bake black bricks in the open air, and did not let them keep the black brick firing method secret.

It’s so simple after all!It's as simple as having a hand, and there's no chance of failure.

Truckloads of black bricks were being transported outside the west gate, and people with troubles asked about it one after another.When they learned that the government was going to install earth dragons for central heating in the gathering place, the people went crazy.

"Quick, go to your house and ask people to take up space!"

"Call Xiaoliu's family!"

"Come on!"

Cai Xiaolan was at the scene. Looking at this scene, she was happy and a little sad. Most of the people who came to grab the position now were normal people with hands and feet.Otherwise, I don't have time to come here to watch the excitement.

"Hey, who froze to death in the winter, where are these people?"

　Thank you book friend Xiaobai for your recommendation vote!
