"Salt?"
This makes Cao Cao and the others not very understanding.
In fact, everyone eats the same amount of salt, so where is the difference?
Chen Zhou knew their doubts and clapped his hands.
Immediately, a servant brought 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. He stood up in shock and asked, "How can there be such beautiful salt in the world?"
He also tasted it and found that the salt was simply salty and tasted particularly good. The most important thing was that it looked good.
Others looked at the bowl in Cao Cao's hand at the same time, and finally saw what salt looked like. They had just overturned their understanding of pork, and were about to overturn their understanding of salt.
"The salt from Tozhi is so beautiful?"
Cheng Yu said in surprise.
Chen Zhou said: "This is a method of making salt that I have improved. The salt produced is very beautiful and the cost is still very low. I will leave the specific method to Wen Cheng and Wen Tai. If the lord needs it, you can contact them."
Salt was an important strategic material in ancient times.
It is also one of the essential elements for the human body.
Without salt, everything you eat has no taste. At the same time, salt is super expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Chen Zhou did not intend to sell the salt himself and leave it to Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao's strategic vision was not narrow, he would know how to use the salt to create all possibilities for himself.
After hearing this, Cao Hong and the other two said in their hearts that Chen Zhou is a capable person!
Such a big credit can be given to them without any hesitation at all, so simply.
If they weren't in Sikong Mansion, they wouldn't be able to help themselves and would drag Chen Zhou out to sworn sworn friends, so that they could share blessings and share hardships in the future.
"real?"
Cao Cao asked in surprise.
Chen Zhou nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course it is true. If the master needs it, he can get it himself. Salt can be very useful."
"Thank you for your generosity!"
Cao Cao bowed his head and said.
He could finally see what Chen Zhou's intention was for today's banquet.
Firstly, I want to raise pigs and 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 aristocratic families. The salt they could buy came from aristocratic families, and only aristocratic families could have the ability and foundation to monopolize it.
Cao Cao tried many times to take back the salt monopoly, but failed.
Because the interests behind the salt were too great, the noble families did not allow him to touch this interest.
With Chen Zhou's salt, those aristocratic families can basically stand aside. In the next salt market, Cao Cao can guarantee that no one can compete with him!
He can even be ahead of all the aristocratic families.
"Watari has done too much for me."
This is not the first time Cao Cao has expressed this emotion.
Whenever he feels this way, he feels that he has treated Chen Zhou badly and cannot give Chen Zhou enough in return.
Chen Zhou replied: "My lord, you're welcome!"
Everyone else looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
They were surprised, but no one dared to feel jealous.
Because Chen Zhou has real abilities, they won't be jealous unless he can be as powerful as Chen Zhou.
"Congratulations, lord, for being able to get assistance from Du."
Just in time, Guo Jia stood up and shouted loudly.
"Congratulations, lord!"
Others then joyfully congratulated.
The stronger Chen Zhou's ability, the greater the chance that Cao Cao will conquer the world.
The world is at peace. Everyone here is a founding hero. Although the contribution is not as great as that of Chen Zhou, it is definitely not small.
Today's banquet ended with their congratulatory voices.
Cao Cao discovered that today's harvest was huge!
The surprise that Chen Zhou brought to him was too great!
However, Chen Zhou did not stay at Cao's house for too long.
He kept all the pork that should be given to Cao Cao, and he went home and took the pork back to his family for a taste. Although it was not as delicious as beef and sheep, it felt pretty good to try it for the first time.
After meal.
"Husband, your math book has been sold in the bookstore."
Cao Shan took a book that she bought from the bookstore today and said with a smile: "It's just that the content is too profound. Can others understand it?"
"If you don't understand, you can study at Taixue when the time comes."
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "Make the book first, and someone will understand it in the future."
Qiao Ying agreed: "My husband is right. If our husband has this ability, he should show it to everyone."
They chatted lively about the math book for a long time, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
——
Time flies so fast, it’s New Year’s time.
After this new year, when the ice and snow melt, the Battle of Guandu will soon be fought.
However, according to Chen Zhou's understanding of Yuan Shao, this battle will not start immediately, and the preliminary preparations will take at least a month or two, unless Yuan Shao is so impatient that he will fight directly.
In addition, before the official confrontation in Guandu.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also had some minor frictions.
As well as Yuan Shaohui using Liu Bei to open a second battlefield in Runan, these were all calculated by Chen Zhou.
However, there was still enough time to prepare before the fight started, so Chen Zhou was not in a hurry.
"Husband, these are the new clothes we sewed for you."
Lu Lingqi took a piece of clothing, handed it to Chen Zhou, and said with a smile: "My husband said that for a new year and a new look, it is best for the clothes to be new, so as to give people a brand new feeling."
Chen Zhou put on the new clothes they prepared for him and asked, "What about you?"
"Of course we have new ones too."
Liu Ling said happily: "What do we need to do next?"
After the Yidaizhao incident, Liu Ling decided to completely put aside her identity and ignore all other things. From now on, she was just one of Chen Zhou's wives.
Apart from this identity, there is nothing else, and I no longer consider anything else.
Chen Zhou said: "I haven't thought of anything yet. What can be done? Do you have any ideas?"
They all shook their heads.
"How about we have a barbecue?"
Cao Shan suggested: "Last year, my husband and I had a barbecue. Now that the weather is cold, it is best to warm the wine while warming the fire. It is easy to sweat at the end of the meal. It is most suitable."
Chen Zhou thought this proposal was good and agreed: "That's it, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it."
With more people at home, barbecue can become more lively.
However, Chen Zhou considered that although Er Qiao and Lu Lingqi lived with him, they had not yet married him, and he seemed a little sorry for them.
"Shan'er, I got married recently, is it okay?"
Chen Zhou thought for a while and asked, "Will we get married someday?"
Getting married requires choosing an auspicious day. This is not only a common thing for modern people, but also in ancient times. People in ancient times paid more attention to auspicious days and were more superstitious.
After Qiao Shuang and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
We can finally get married.
"it should be OK."
Cao Shan said: "I will find someone to check it later. If the auspicious date 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.
