Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 213 Fengwo Coal ([-])

Guanshi Liu looked at his bulging purse, which must have at least 50 taels.

Then Xie Xian took out another 50 taels from his bag, and pushed them to Guanshi Liu together: "These 50 taels are my shock fee for you, I forgot to say hello when there were too many things..." Seeing that Guanshi Liu wanted to refuse , Xie Xian immediately said: "Don't refuse, the money is considered as a reward for drinking. I'll take the coal. If anyone asks in the future, you can ask him to come to me directly. You also know that I will follow you this time. The second elder brother came out on the orders of the old man, and it would be the best if he could find more ways to get rich for the Xie family, I believe this, the old man won't care."

Xie Xian was loved by Mr. Xie at Xie's house, everyone knew this, and seeing that he took everything on himself, Liu Guanshi did not doubt that he had him, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He was afraid that Xie Yi would come back to find him in the future. He settles accounts, and now that someone has taken over, he has nothing to do.As for the money, Manager Liu didn't want it at all, but after hearing Xie Xian's words, he felt that it made sense, since Xie Xian tipped him, why not?Besides, it's time for the kid at home to spend money.

So Guanshi Liu accepted the silver and respectfully saluted Xie Xian: "I was too reckless, please forgive me, Third Young Master."

"Hey, I was wrong. You are right to do this. Our Xie family wants this kind of person." Xie Xian waved his hand at him, motioning him to get up, admiring his behavior today.

Manager Liu felt completely relaxed, said a few more words to Xie Xian, and then went back to the mine.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Wanwan took out the crushed coal that he picked up on the road these days. On that day, Baishou cut a very large old bamboo on the mountain, truncated both ends, cut it into a bamboo tube the length of a palm, and took it again. Take a piece of wood to the market, ask a carpenter to plan it into a log about the size of a bamboo tube, insert a stick in the middle of the back end as a handle, nail four slender sticks evenly on the log block on the front, and cut the top of the stick. tip.

She wanted to see if she could use this tool to make briquettes, and found some yellow mud, crushed the coal and mixed the yellow mud together, then poured it into the bamboo tube, and then inserted the log into it. Insert enough, tightly pressed, then gently pull out the log block, and finally take out the bamboo tube, and a formed peak nest coal is formed.

This is what Wan Wan saw the elders do in his previous life.Originally, an iron ring should be made, and then an iron handle cover should be welded on it with a few pieces of iron nails at the same height as the iron circle.

The shape of Fengwo coal is made out of bamboo tube, but the coal is a little loose.

After several trials and continuous improvements, Fengwo Coal was finally mined.

The tools are limited, and only four holes were drilled. Fengwo coal is available, and the next step is the stove. After thinking about it, let him use yellow mud and gravel to make a simple stove.The shape of the stove is easy to make, but there is a coal holder in the middle, which was originally inserted in the middle of the stove with two iron rods. After thinking about it for a while, it is too late to buy iron now, and if she really wants to use iron, her coal-burning tools are useless. It's better to replace it with iron.

Then the two of them were by the river, from the upper reaches to the lower reaches, finally found two long strips of stones, put them in the stove, and put the Fengwo coal on them, it looked okay.

Looking at the Fengwo coal stove designed by themselves, the three of them had strange expressions on their faces.

Wanwan doubts how many times this thing can be used?

But Baishou and Laisheng suspect that this thing can't be used at all?

I took the stored charcoal and lit it on the stone shelf in the stove, and then put the fengwo coal on it. After a while, a thick smoke billowed out, and the whole yard smelled of coal. Fortunately, the stove is designed outside the kitchen door. If it was inside the house, the three of them might as well not go into the kitchen to cook tonight.

The next life looked at Wanwan speechlessly: "Sister-in-law, this thing is so smoky and choking, can it be used?"

Wanwan nodded: "Of course it can be used, this is just the beginning, when the coal is really ignited, there will be no smoke." He gave the two of them a reassuring look: "Don't worry, we will use this thing to make soup tomorrow !"

Of course the things can be used, but they are not as easy to use as imagined. One is that the coal is not well lit, and the other is that the stove is not well done.But this stove is really convenient. With enough fengwo coal, there will be hot water at any time, especially in winter, which is very convenient.

Without suitable tools, he could only use them temporarily. Wanwan decided to go to the blacksmith shop in the market to see if he could make what he wanted. If there were none in the small town, he had to go to the county to see.

Baishou and Laisheng feel that they can make do with it, and they will improve slowly if they have the opportunity.

Later, one day, Shitou Niang came to see her and pulled Wan Wan to ask her what it was, and Wan Wan had to tell her the truth.Shitou Niang was amazed, and lifted the kettle away. The coal in the stove was almost exhausted. She tried it with her hand, and when it was hot, she was surprised: "This thing can be used for heating in winter!"

Wan Wan smiled and said: "It's fine to roast when the coal is burning to the end. If it is burning hot, although the roaster is hot, there is a smell, which is smoky."

Shitou Niang stretched her neck and sniffed: "It does have a smell, but it's not as smelly as you said?"

"That's because the coal is almost burned out, and the smell has almost faded away. If it is booming, the smell is not ordinary, and it will make people dizzy after smelling it for a long time."

"Ah, so serious?"

"Of course. And the stove is not well made, and the ventilation effect is not good, especially when using coal, the smell of soot in the yard is very heavy!"

Shitou Niang sat by the side and studied for a long time, and finally she took a fancy to the fengwo coal that Wanwan made, and she pulled Wanwan to insist on her teaching her.

Wanwan couldn’t, after all, this method is special, and if you want to mine coal, you have to go to the road to pick up cinders. After telling her the method, he told her: “Don’t tell other people, if everyone comes to mine this, there won’t be enough cinders on the road.” If you can’t pick up coal, someone will definitely make a bad idea, and then something will happen and trouble will arise.”

Shitou Niang understood and assured her: "Don't worry, if I make this, I will use it at home."

Later, Shitou Niang really followed the method Wan Wan said to mine coal at home, but she did not do well, and it was easy to disperse. Another day, Bao Niang went to the house and found out this method, and the two families began to collect coal slag on the road.

Originally, only two or three families knew about the coal in the peak nest, but Yang Fengzi lived at home after working on the mountain, and happened to find out that Mrs. Shitou had packed the coal, and later asked her about it.Grandma Shitou only knew that Yang Feng was working in the mine now, and living at home treated her elders better than before. Yang Feng was angry with Baishouwan because of what happened last time, but she didn't know that Yang Feng had already held grudges against the two of them in his heart. .So he told Yang Feng about Fengwo Coal, and later, for some reason, many people knew about it.

Some people know that they just listen to it out of curiosity, and some people learn to do it by themselves, and Jun Qi Niang is one of them.

After learning about the method, she ran up with her back on her back every day, and occasionally asked Junqi's father to get some coal back. When Junqi's father heard this, he got angry and told her: "Let me do this!" Thanks to you for thinking about petty theft!"

Jun Qiniang refused: "This is not a scandal, I just asked you to shovel some coal that fell on the surrounding ground, and I didn't ask you to shovel on the coal pile."

"I don't care where you are. Anyway, you can't shovel there. If you want to shovel, you can go farther away, on the mountain road, outside the village, whatever you want. Anyway, you don't make trouble for me in the place where I work. "

Junqi's father disagreed, so Junqi's mother had no choice but to run up the mountain. She wandered around the coal road all day long when she was free. There were more cinders falling down in the place, so luck didn't last long, that day when she was shoveling coal by the side of the road, she met Xie Xian.

Jun Qiniang didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, so she greeted Xie Xian with a smile when she saw her.

Xie Xian frowned when he saw the fine cinders in her betel.Xie San's sharp eyes saw Xie Xian's displeasure, and immediately asked Jun Qiniang: "What are you doing here? Where did the coal come from? Don't you know that stealing coal from the mountain will result in you being sent to the government?"

Hearing this, Jun Qiniang was so frightened that she arched her hands and worshiped Xie Xian: "Ah, third young master, don't get me wrong, I didn't steal coal from the mountain, I just saw some cinders dropped by the side of the road. , I swept it up, and it was all left behind, I picked it up, I didn’t steal it.”

Xie San glanced at Jun Qiniang's betel, there was as much coal as a big shovel: "You picked it all up on the mountain?"

"No, I came all the way down the mountain." Jun Qi Niang looked carefully at Xie Xian and replied, she didn't want to lose the child's father's job because of picking up these cinders.

Xie Xian glanced at her expressionlessly, and asked, "Are people in the village picking up coal on the road every day like you?"

Jun Qiniang rolled her eyes, and immediately replied: "There are only a few people. However, I came early today, so I picked up almost all the ones on the side of the road. It's also my first time here today. Unlike some of them, Pick it up on the side of the road every day."

Hearing this, Xie Xian's expression turned a little ugly, if everyone was looking to pick up coal cinders by the side of the road every day, that would be fine, but those with bad intentions might go up the mountain to steal coal one day.

Xie Sanneng followed Xie Xian every day, and his thoughts naturally turned quickly. Seeing this, he immediately reprimanded Jun Qiniang: "Don't think that your family can have no rules when working in the mine. If you dare to go to the mountain to steal coal, you will be punished severely." , Serious cases will be sent to officials.”

Jun Qiniang hurriedly said that she didn't dare.

"What did you use the coal for when you picked it up?"

"I heard that this cinder can be turned into coal, which can be burned in the stove. It can be used for cooking, boiling water, and stewing vegetables. It is still warm and can be used to roast hands..." Jun Qi said everything he heard. come out.

The other two were taken aback.

Xie Xian hurriedly asked: "What is Fengwo Coal?"

"Oh, this, I don't know. I heard people say that you can put these cinders together and make a circle, and then insert four holes in the middle, and it will work. However, this thing burns It smells really bad, every time the smoke reaches our house, it really chokes us to death! Fortunately, my son is not at home, otherwise..." Jun Qiniang began to complain as she spoke.

How could Xie Xian have the heart to listen to this, and interrupted her with a frown: "Who made this thing?"

　Thank you, Prince Charming, as long as the virgin's safety charm is cold!Everyone pay attention to adding clothes, especially those who have children!
