As the weather gets cooler, Zhuge Tian’s cotton-padded clothes and quilt business is getting better and better.

Even cotton has reached its purchase limit in the system.

Leading to a shortage of supply.

Zhuge Tian had no way to deal with this.

The core of this thing is the cotton inside. Without cotton, there would be no quilts or cotton clothes.

No one else can snatch this business.

But without cotton, he would have to wait until next month to buy it from the system.

It might be better to give the sewing machine that is about to smoke a rest these few days.

"Heavenly boy, I have good news for you again."

Huang Zhong came to Wolong Village wearing a cotton coat like a local rich man.

He sat down next to Zhuge Tian and took a roasted potato from the small charcoal stove in front of him.

"Whoa! It's so hot!"

"You're having a good life!"

Now that it is the slack season for farming, the expanded houses in Wolong Village have been completed.

So when everyone had nothing to do every day, they would just sit outside by the fire and compete in martial arts.

A small charcoal stove covered with a wire mesh, put potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other things on it, and then put a pot of tea to warm it up, it is really comfortable.

"What good news?" Zhuge Tian handed a plate of dry dipping sauce to Huang Zhong from his side.

Huang Zhong broke a potato in half, dipped it in the soup twice, and ate it in one bite.

"HO, HO, this is the smell, so comfortable!"

Huang Zhong pointed at the villagers of Wolong Village who were competing in the martial arts competition and said, "You are all young and strong. How about I find some wives for you?"

"Looking for some... wives?"

Zhuge Tian stared at Huang Zhong blankly, what a niche statement.

"Yes, the battles in Wuyin and Huyang were going badly, and Yuan Shu was also fighting, so many people escaped."

"These people don't have any land or anything. The men are easy to deal with, just send them directly to the army."

"But there are also many families whose men died in the war, leaving behind orphans and widows who have fled. These people are difficult to deal with."

"But then I thought, you guys don't lack food here, but many people don't have wives, so I wanted to ask if you want this?"

Zhuge Tian thought that Old Man Huang was trafficking in human beings, but when he heard this, he realized that this was the case.

Yes, these people who escaped have no land. Even if Jingzhou distributed land to them now, the severe winter is coming soon, so where can they produce?

How much money could those who escaped take with them? Without money and food, this winter would be difficult.

Or Jingzhou could come forward to provide relief. After all, Liu Biao couldn't just watch so many refugees die in his own territory.

But he only wanted young and strong men to be put into the army so that they could both fight and farm.

Some of these women brought children with them, which was a big problem.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang on Zhuge Tianwen's side.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "I think so."

Zhuge Tian hesitated for a moment before saying to Huang Zhong, "Alright then. Bring them here and tell them that even if they don't want to live with us, they can find work in Wolong Village and support themselves."

"Okay!" Huang Zhong picked up a few potatoes, corns and other things and put them in his bag, then rode away on his horse.

As soon as Huang Zhong left, people surrounded him.

"Brother Tian, ​​are you going to get a wife?"

"Bullshit!" Zhuge Tian glared at them angrily. "If you're interested in each other, you can live together. If someone doesn't like you, you can't force them, understand?"

"Hey, don't worry, we are all grown men and can't do such dirty things." Hearing that the story was true, many people smiled.

"Oh, my clothes got greasy the other day, I have to wash them!"

"And my hair, let's help each other wash it."

"Brother Tian, ​​I want to buy some bacon to hang in front of the door!"

Wolong Village, which had become a little lonely due to the cold, suddenly seemed to be injected with vitality.

Zhuge Tian shook his head helplessly. This was human nature, so he ignored them.

A day later, Huang Zhong and the soldiers from Deng County sent a lot of people over.

There really aren't many elderly people there. In that era, few ordinary people could live to that age.

Some came with children, some were alone.

But most of them were pale and thin, dressed in rags, and looked at the people from Wolong Village timidly.

"Old Huang, the ingredients are ready. Ask them to come over and help. This is a welcome banquet organized by our Wolong Village."

Many temporary stoves were set up in Wolong Village, and all kinds of vegetables and meat were placed on them.

This was Zhuge Tian’s idea.

After all, it can't be like choosing livestock where both sides line up and choose each other, right?

Let the women who come cook together, eat together, and interact with each other so that they can at least have a basic understanding of each other.

It can also demonstrate Wolong's financial resources, prove that there is no problem in supporting them, and allow them to stay with peace of mind.

The women and children stared at the meat, eggs, and various vegetables and food on the stove with their eyes wide open.

At first, they were told that they were being sent to a village, and they thought it was the same village where they had lived before.

As a result, everyone was dumbfounded when they arrived.

Who in the village doesn't eat so much meat and fish during the New Year or other festivals...

No, in the past, even during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, there wasn’t so much fish and meat.

They walked over cautiously with their children. Some of the children were not very sensible and pointed at the meat and said they wanted to eat it, which scared the women so much that they quickly covered their mouths.

"This is meant to be eaten, but these guys are clumsy, so they make it slowly and it doesn't taste good. If you can make it, please lend a hand so we can have a meal once it's done." Zhuge Tian tied an apron around himself and cooked beside a pot.

Liao Hua, Gan Ning, Xu Chu and others gathered around him to help him, because everyone knew that Zhuge Tian made the best food.

Looking at the vegetables and meat being handed over, the women gritted their teeth, took them, and began to wash and cut them.

Now that we are here, no matter what the outcome is, let’s take our children to have a full meal first!

Everyone started to get busy.

"This meat is from our family... No, I bought it. Don't be afraid, just cut it into big pieces and cook it."

"This is potato, it's best to cook with meat, just use the sauce next to you."

"Here, kid, this corn has been roasted in advance, take it and eat it!"

"Um... I hear you're from Wuyin? I used to be from Wuyin too, right there in Liangjiaao, you know that?"

"When cooking rice, measure it with your finger. The water should just cover the first joint of your finger. Porridge? We don't usually eat porridge. It doesn't give you as much energy as rice!"

Huang Zhong also came to Zhuge Tian and started helping to cut the potatoes into shreds.

Looking at this scene, he sighed and said, "It would be wonderful if there were no wars in the world and the people could live in peace and stability."
