Cold Winter City, a border city with a population of hundreds of thousands, is not only the junction point between the sinful forest and the human empire, but also an important threshold to defend the orc empire.

Under the protection of the huge city wall that was 30 meters high, the citizens in the city should have lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But ever since the news of the Year of God's Retribution spread throughout the human empire, the whole city has fallen into panic.

Big people and wealthy families are fine, they can use their rights and money to make adequate preparations to allow themselves to successfully survive the coming long winter.

However, most of the civilians in the city were not so lucky. Under the panic, the price of goods rose. The original 1 copper coin for black bread now rose to 2 copper coins, and the 2 copper coin per catty of wheat also rose to 5 copper coins.

The charcoal that is indispensable in winter has not been found, and the vast majority of civilians know that they may not be able to survive this winter.

This made them very confused, why the so-called God's Punishment punished them, the low-level civilians who have been honest and responsible all their lives.

Bart didn't even look at the desperate-looking civilians on the street. He walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion, his heart full of anxiety.

As early as two days ago, he returned to Cold Winter City. However, he came to see the Lord Caton several times, but he never got the chance to meet him.

Bart didn't know when the baron who had a grudge against him would find out that he had returned to Winter City.

He now only hopes to see the city lord Caton as soon as possible.

Finally, today the city lord is willing to see him.

Excited and terrified, Bart followed the servants all the way into the City Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, Bart has already brought it."

"bring in"

As the door of the study was slowly opened, Bart finally met the owner of this Winter City - Lenny Carton.

Short silver hair, a majestic square face, and a pair of eyes piercing like sharp swords.

With just one glance, Bart couldn't help but kneel down at the feet of the man in front of him.

Caton seemed to be used to it, and he didn't tell Bart to stand up, and said casually: "I heard about Howard's death two days ago, but I asked people who came back from Sin Town, and even the mercenary guild didn't know. Know who the murderer is, and you say you know who the murderer is?"

"Yes, my lord, I just happened to know something," Bart said without any concealment, and said everything he knew.

Caton nodded, "It turned out to be a senior blacksmith. No wonder Howard would give up my test. I already know the general situation. I will help you complete your request, provided that what you said is true. Now Go down first."

With joy on his face, Bart hurriedly got up, saluted respectfully, and then left the study with the servants.

At this time, a man who was about eight points similar to Katon came from the other side of the study.

"Father, do you need me to take someone to kill that Li Fan immediately? By the way, bring that senior blacksmith dwarf back to you?"

Carton looked up at his son and shook his head, "Yurand, I have said many times, you have to think carefully before doing things, even the dead Howard did better than you, God's Punishment No one can tell when the snow will fall in the winter of 2019, and if you act at this time, you are betting on your own life and the lives of the knights, and it is not worth it."

Yolande Carton hammered down the sofa in front of him unwillingly, "Then Howard died in vain?"

"Of course not." Lenny Carton showed a sneer, "If Li Fan dares to come to Winter City, he won't be able to escape. If he doesn't come to Winter City, he won't be able to survive this winter, even if..."

Lenny Caton glanced at the mountains in the distance, and seemed to see the ferocious monsters in the mountains, "Even if he finds a refuge in the heavy snow in winter, he will not be able to escape the subsequent beast tide. Although it is a pity, the senior blacksmith, But we should be more prepared to deal with the beast tide that may appear at any time."

...

The house is finally completed, and the charcoal is constantly being transported back.

Just when Li Fan thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, Anna found him.

Anna came to find Li Fan naturally for a reason.

As I said before, in addition to keeping warm, there are two problems to be solved in order to survive the Year of God's Retribution.

One is residence.

The other is food.

Food is not less important than where you live.

How can a body survive winter without fat support?

When the house was finished, hunting and storing food became the first priority.

What Anna is worried about now is how to store the prey she hunted. Without a clue, she found Li Fan almost instinctively.

After all, no matter what problems the person in front of him encountered, he always seemed to be able to think of a way to solve them.

Anna herself didn't realize that she already had a strong sense of dependence on Li Fan without knowing it.

Li Fan listened to Anna's troubles quietly, and understood what was going on after listening.

The horror of God's Year of Retribution is not only the snowstorm and low temperature, but the suddenness is even more terrifying.

Perhaps yesterday was a clear sky, and the temperature was as high as a scorching summer. As long as the snow falls, the next day will be able to drip into ice.

In just a few hours, the temperature difference can reach tens of degrees.

This kind of thing can only appear in disaster movies on earth, but it really exists in the winter of the year of God's punishment.

Originally, the way for the orcs to store food for the winter was to make some dried meat on weekdays. When winter came, when the temperature was neither high nor low, they hunted a lot. It is not easy to rot, and when the winter officially comes, the heavy snow falls, and then the prey can be kept in the heavy snow for a whole winter.

But in the winter of God’s Retribution Year, there is no way to predict the time of snowfall. Premature hunting will cause the prey to rot, and hunting too late will lead to food shortage. Especially this winter is destined to be longer, and the food shortage will be even worse. serious.

After Li Fan heard this, he immediately thought of making jerky and salting meat. However, making jerky is cumbersome, and it can't be done with all the staff, which is not enough to last the whole winter.

It is even worse to pickle them with salt. After all, the orcs mainly eat meat. If the orcs eat bacon for four or five months in a row, the orcs will not be able to sustain it!

And meat can be pickled with salt, are wild vegetables and fruits also pickled with salt?

Humans are not like orcs and dwarves, humans cannot do without these two things.

In addition to these two methods of preserving food, Li Fan immediately thought of freezing preservation.

Freezing can not only preserve meat well, but also ensure that wild vegetables and fruits do not rot.

However, although freezing is good, it does not mean that it can be done.

Li Fan can change to the freezer, but unfortunately the freezer can't store much food, a freezer still needs dozens of bond points, and even electricity.

Li Fan can't exchange a few more generators for these freezers, right?

Thinking about it this way, making cold storage seems to be the best choice.

In the manufacture of cold storage, there is only one biggest problem, how to obtain ice cubes.
