Lu Dynasty

Chapter 439

The shopkeeper didn't know what was unloaded from the car, so someone naturally knew.The accompanying craftsman explained to Cao: "This is a coal stove, like a stove! When I install it, you will know what it is. It was designed by our Prime Minister Lu and developed by Mr. Ma and Mr. Pu of the Ministry of Industry. Good stuff!" This craftsman is not from the Ministry of Industry, but a folk craftsman from Luoyang.I would be happy if Cao kept him!Because he can only make some simple farm tools, and then he can make coal stoves.

"Stove... Stove head? Is this thing going to be installed in the kitchen?" The gentleman left the kitchen and asked Cao to look at the things in the kitchen. He was a little annoyed at once. How could his subordinates even do what I brought in? Installation, I came here to report without knowing where it was installed.

"Of course not!" The craftsman smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, my lord has a letter for you! It was originally intended to be handed over by the shopkeeper, but since I saw you, I will give it to you directly!"

Cao took the letter very puzzled, and glanced at the shopkeeper and craftsmen.He opened the letter and wrote: "Brother Mengde, the weather has turned cold recently, and my younger brother endures the cold winter in Luoyang every day, feeling very uncomfortable. So I racked my brains to design a thing for heating. Good thing Naturally, I want to share it with my friends. After the installation is complete, I will ask the shopkeeper to invite Brother Meng De to a banquet, and I will also invite Brother Meng De to show you the honor! Of course, I will not be there. General. The Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers are naturally going to take them with them, and they have some friendship with me!" When Cao read the letter, the craftsmen had already entered the private room to load the coal stove.

Cao was even more confused after reading the letter, he didn't know what I wanted to do!Since the letter said that I wanted to invite him to dinner, Cao ordered his servants to say: "Go, call Wen Ruo, Zhong De, Gong Ren, Zi Tong, Miao Cai, Yuan Rang, Zi Xiao, Zi Lian, Zi He, and say Lu Ba first invite them to dinner, let them eat with open stomachs!" It seems that Cao wants to kill me, but how much can ten of them eat?

"Didn't my lord (big brother) say that Lu Feng was treating guests to dinner? Why are you standing at the door?" After Cao Ren and the others arrived, they saw Cao standing at the door of Jimin Restaurant without even drinking tea, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart!

Cao laughed and said, "Are you here? Lu Feng didn't know what else he made in Luoyang. The shopkeeper came to invite us after it was installed, but I was too lazy to wait. We just waited for him to install it, and we went in to have a look!" Cao said. He said that Cheng Yu and the others understood that the feeling was that Cao himself couldn't wait, so he insisted on standing at the entrance of the restaurant to drink the Northwest Wind.

Loading the coal stove is just a matter of a little effort. Cao's people are all there, and the coal stove is also installed.The reason why Cao Duo was made to wait for a while was because after the coal stove was lit, the room had to wait for a while to heat up.If you can't shock Cao, how can you earn his coal money?Cao stood trembling in the cold wind, and the craftsman came out and said, "Mr. Cao, the elegant room is ready. Please, Mr. Cao and everyone, go in and warm up!"

"Warm?" Xia Houyuan stared and said, "I'm about to freeze to death, how can I be warm? Do you want us to hold Lu Feng's fine nectar and jade liquid?" Xia Houyuan roared, and the craftsman was terrified.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Since the craftsman said it was warm, there must be a reason for it. Let's invite some of you into the private room! If you are not satisfied, then talk to the craftsman, how about it?"

"Miaocai, let's go in and see what Lu Feng is up to!" Cao led the way into the restaurant, Xia Houyuan naturally couldn't say anything more.

The craftsman led Cao to the elegant room where the coal stove was installed and said: "Mr. Cao, this is the room. The villain will not go in. Please, Mr. Cao, do what you want!" After finishing speaking, the craftsman took a look at Xia Houyuan. The craftsman hated his attitude just now, so he snorted coldly and said nothing.

Cao pushed open the door of the private room, and a wave of heat rushed towards him.In order to carry out my order, the craftsmen intentionally made the private room look like a steamer. Now the private room is at least [-] degrees Celsius!As soon as the door was opened, the temperature outside was close to zero, which happened to have convection with the private room, and the cold and warm confronted each other. It was Cao Cao's face if it didn't rain.

Cao and the people he brought were all dumbfounded. Xun Yu pointed at the room with his mouth open and could not speak, but Cheng Yu sighed, "It's a supernatural workmanship, it's really a supernatural workmanship. In the winter, you can actually make the private room look like early summer." , and there is no peculiar smell, what exactly does Lu Feng want to do?" It turned out that people in the Han Dynasty basically relied on bonfires to keep warm, even the aristocratic families were no exception.But the bonfire burns wood, some wood burns well, and some wood burns but has a very unpleasant pungent smell.

Cao pulled the collar and said, "Shopkeeper, don't you think it's a bit hot in the private room?" The shopkeeper had already found an excuse to take off his coat on the way to the private room. No wonder.

"Mr. Cao, it's because you are wearing too much!" The shopkeeper pointed at Cao, and Cao realized that he was wearing more than ten layers of clothes, but the shopkeeper was only wearing a single piece of clothing.Although there were no padded jackets, cotton trousers, or sweaters in the Han Dynasty, it was very warm to wrap more than a dozen layers of silk on the body, not to mention that Lao Cao was wearing a Shu brocade outside!
"Brother, here are all our own people, why don't we take off our clothes!" Xiahou Dun was already suffering from the heat, and he didn't want to suffer.Moreover, he is a general, and he often trains shirtless in the barracks on weekdays.

"What do you think, gentlemen?" Cao wanted to agree with Xiahou Dun's words, but literati are no match for generals, they have the reserve of literati.

Dong Zhao said with a smile: "It's rare to enjoy the warmth of winter, let's be free and easy!" Dong Zhao began to take off his clothes after speaking.Cheng Yu was originally a ruthless butcher, so he would do whatever Cao asked him to do, just take off his clothes, a trivial matter!Jiang Ji saw that both Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao were taking off. Wouldn't it be a shame for Cao if he didn't take off?Besides, Jiang Ji could tell that Cao really wanted to get rid of it!Now it can be seen that everyone in the private room is taking off their clothes, only Xun Yu is hesitating there.

Xiahou Dun and other generals wore less clothes and took them off quickly.After a while they took off only a pair of underpants.Like all the counselors, Cao only wore a single shirt.Cao laughed and said: "Brother Ba Xian is really not the kind who waits for nothing, so he just said that the people in this coal stove are really comfortable! Wen Ruo, aren't you hot?"

"My lord, I'm not hot!" Xun Yu didn't know what was going on, but he insisted on wrapping his clothes and refused to take them off, only to see that his head was already dripping with sweat.

Cao suddenly realized something and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please, take Wen Ruo to another room to change clothes!" Since Cao made a request, the shopkeeper naturally couldn't refuse, so he took Xun Yu to another room to undress.
