Chapter 36 Storing charcoal fire



It will snow heavily in February, the really heavy kind, and it will snow for more than half a month.

Adding to the cold snap, with old snow falling before new snow melted, the capital city was as cold as an ice cave throughout February, and the prices of charcoal and firewood skyrocketed.

She now frequently gives tips to people, spending quite a bit. Since the noble families in the capital are so wealthy, she has to earn some money to supplement her own savings.
