After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 147 Honeycomb Coal

Seeing the teacher leaving, Mr. Fei was silent for a long time in the study.

"boy"

Ah Li walked in cautiously, "My son-in-law."

"No problem." Mr. Fei waved his hand.

The teacher used to be a son-in-law, so it must be the eldest princess who sent a letter to tell the news about Yuandu. The teacher was worried about the eldest princess, so he said these important words in a hurry.

In a fight that year, the teacher was seized by the regent and dismissed from office. The eldest princess didn't want the teacher to stay in Yuandu to be unhappy, so she let the teacher go to Raozhou thousands of miles away to do what she liked, which was also a deep friendship.

When the two armies confront each other, the position often determines the attitude, and the teacher is also in it without knowing it.

Mr. Fei sighed softly, picked up a letter and read it.

Knowing that Young Master didn't want to mention Master Qin's matter again, Ah Li handed over another letter and said:

"The old lady has already set off, and it is estimated that she will arrive in Raozhou in half a month. Yuan Bao who delivered the letter said." A Li paused before saying:
"This time, not only the old lady came alone."

Mr. Fei was not surprised, and hummed lightly.

The last time he took Xiaosi back, in just a few dozen days, there would always be a new girl's face in front of him. He knew that his mother had never stopped thinking about continuing the string for him.

If it wasn't for him and Xiao Si's firm attitude, the mother would be afraid that her son and grandson would leave her heart, and she would be more blatant and brazen.

Coming to Raozhou this time, he will definitely not live in peace.

"My lord, the young lady was young and ignorant before, and she never cared about wearing men's and women's clothing in front of the old lady. Now that the young lady is grown up, she has a sense of gender. This time the old lady comes"

Ali really didn't know what to say.

The old lady still doesn't know that the grandson she is thinking of is a daughter, and the little lady doesn't know that the old lady loves her as a man.

Previously, the young lady was still young, and the first wife hid it well. Later, when the young master found out and took the young lady away, he had concealed it, but there are some things that cannot be hidden forever.

Now that the young lady is grown up, it may be difficult to keep her secret.

In the past few years, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion for the little lady, the young master subtly instilled in the little lady the concept that she is a woman.

At the same time, he took her all over the mountains and rivers of Daye Kingdom, and saw all kinds of things in the market, just to tell her that there is no fundamental difference between women and men.

The young master is a good teacher who is good at teaching people to be invisible. The young lady trusts the young master very much and accepts the change of gender well.

Only occasionally confused, why did the mother pretend to be a man?
The boy couldn't answer.

The truth is naturally because the first wife knew that her despicable means had been exposed, she knew that she could no longer get close to the young master, she needed a son to please the old lady, and she also gave up the idea of ​​the old lady taking concubines for the young master.

Sigh, I don't know what Madam Xian's plan was before. If it wasn't for that sudden illness, might she still have some tricks to hide for the rest of her life?

Thinking of this, Ali could not help but sigh.

"No rush"

Mr. Fei waved his hands and rubbed his temples, "Let Xiaosi and I discuss it before making a decision."

In order to prevent water pollution, the coal workshop was built in a remote corner.

It is a simple modern warehouse structure, with three large row houses, the raw coal warehouse in the back, the workshop in the middle, and the finished product warehouse in the front.

Each big house has a separate entrance and exit door and the doorman is in charge. The door is paved with cement and leads directly to the nearest avenue, which is convenient for coal cars to enter and exit.

These are the fruits of the two months' labor of Old Carpenter Li and Little Si'er.

I heard that Old Carpenter Li recruited many disciples in order to catch up with the work. With a group of disciples, he wished he could stay in Xiaoxi Village day and night.

In order to save travel time, Old Carpenter Li simply rented a few houses in Xiaoxi Village, and invited his sisters-in-law in the village to help with washing and cooking. Xiaoxi Village is now full of busy scenes.

Bai Fu looked at the piles of black guys in the warehouse, as if seeing gleaming silver, grinning to the ears.

"The strength of the Tiger Roaring Escort is really not covered."

From Anzhou to Raozhou, riding a horse is fast, but transporting goods is much slower. It takes half a month for other escorts, but the Tiger Roaring Escort can arrive within ten days, which is very impressive.

In the areas that Bai Fu visited on his way back, the closer to Anzhou, the more common coal was used in daily life, and the farther away from Anzhou, the more firewood was used.

Raozhou to Anzhou is a relatively long distance for the ancients with inconvenient transportation, so coal is not commonly used by Raozhou residents, and the few coal shops supply the large and small kilns in Raozhou.

Coal itself is not expensive, and logistics is the key, which is why Bai Fu only dared to operate it after he got online with the Tiger Roaring Escort.

In order to save logistics costs, Mr. Sun also carried out a series of operations.

For example, recruiting a large number of trainees to run this special line, and passing letters along the way, plus the Tiger Roaring Escort has branches in various places, so it is convenient to eat and live along the way, which greatly reduces logistics costs.

After Bai Fu's calculations, they are one-third cheaper than other coal shops in terms of logistics alone, and with the first-hand source of goods, the price of coal after it is transported to Raozhou is very competitive.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Now it's up to her to successfully market briquettes to the general public.

Like Bai Fu, Yun Qi wore a white veil and a fisherman's hat made of cloth. After listening to the report from the people below, he turned his head and heard Bai Fu's generous praise, and said with a smile:

"That's thanks to the fact that these things are not treasures and don't need to be hidden. The journey is naturally peaceful."

Having said that, Bai Fu recalled the look of distaste on the faces of the villagers when they saw the coal, and curled the corners of their lips, "That's because people in the world don't know what to buy, we are different."

Yun Qi nodded, showing no disgust on his face, but he was not like Bai Fu either, either stepping on his feet or touching his hands, he just stood not far or near to watch Bai Fu inspect the goods.

"So what should we do next?" After Bai Fu finished inspecting the goods, she asked curiously.

Bai Fu didn't answer, but called Xiao Si'er, and upon hearing the call, Xiao Si'er immediately ran over with a "shovel" with a cylindrical iron head.

"Young master, the blacksmith uncle said that this thing is not easy to make, and it takes more effort than an iron pot. They have been working overtime these days, and they have scrapped a lot before making a few. Let's use it first, and wait for the rest. day."

Bai Fu took the "shovel" with a nod, and without a word, chopped the coal pile more than ten times vigorously.

After confirming that the coal loaded in was compacted, lightly press the handle on the top of the shovel, and soon a black thing in the shape of honeycomb coal appeared in front of several people.

Xiao Si'er and Yun Qi stared wide-eyed at the same time.

Especially the little four.

He squatted down and looked at the shape of the briquette with great interest. It was exactly the same as the sample made with a simple mold before, but this new tool obviously looked easier and faster.

"This tool is really much easier to use!"

He was as excited as if he had guessed a puzzle, and asked again, "But why did you make it look like this?"

Xiao Si'er has seen coal in other people's shops, they are all briquettes, and none of them have such a strange shape, like a honeycomb.

When he was making samples before, he was curious, but it was a pity that the young master told him to use his own brain to think about it. He thought about it, and there were some specious thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't tell the reason.

"Is it to burn more?"

Bai Fuhao explained while moving:
"Yes, these holes are for the convenience of coal burning, so that the coal will not be wasted completely, and the fire will be more powerful. Then, after burning in this shape, the coal is not easy to disperse. Use this clip to come out, and it is more convenient to clean up."

Xiao Si'er suddenly nodded, silently remembering these words in his heart.

"I didn't expect that little coal has such mysteries." Yun Qi was also impressed by Bai Fu's explanation, pondered for a while and asked:

"Can our briquettes be sold under such pressure?"

If this is the case, I am afraid that it will soon be imitated by interested people, and apart from having some advantages and opportunities in transportation, they cannot guarantee long-term business stability.

Naturally, Bai Fu knew her worry, so he put it off with a smile, "If it's so easy, why should I bother?"

Just now, it was just to test whether the tools were successful. Now it seems that the blacksmith's craftsmanship is not bad, but the efficiency is a bit low, but he can't be blamed. Now the blacksmith shop is too busy to make iron pots.

Putting aside the money and not earning money, it is also intentional to work hard to develop new things for her.

Bai Fu tried to make another one.

very successful.

It is presumed that after the workers master the skills, the efficiency can be greatly improved. "Of course, other formulas must be added, so that the coal is easy to use and the smoke is small and tasteless."

In addition to raw coal, there are many other ingredients used in honeycomb coal--
Sawdust, lime, red mud, charcoal powder are the basics.

Safe and reliable flammable combustion accelerants that can be obtained in this era have to be tested repeatedly. These are all related to user experience, and they cannot be sold just by showing off.

By solving the two major problems of burning and odor, the gap between coal and carbon can be greatly reduced, and it will be easier for ordinary people to accept.

Hearing this, Yunqi felt relieved, "Young Master Bai really has a bright heart."

"It's easy to talk about it," Bai Fu laughed, and pointed to a corner, "Not only sell coal, but also sell those coal stoves."

Xiao Si'er brought a small coal stove here.

"This is a single-hole coal stove, which can only make tea," she said, pointing to a little distance, "there is a three-hole coal stove, which can burn nine coals at a time. can handle it.”

Yunqi's eyes were attracted by another big guy in the corner.

"That big one is also a coal stove?"

"Yes, but it's made of brick and stone, suitable for a large kitchen." Bai Fu walked over and knocked on a large pillar connected to the outside of the house, "This is a chimney, which can directly discharge the soot to the outside."

"Can this also be sold?"

"Yes!" Xiao Si'er rushed to reply this time, "We signed a cooperation document with Old Carpenter Li. If someone needs such a large coal stove in the future, Old Carpenter Li can take over the job. Detian Pavilion has ready-made samples. You can watch it if you want."

Yunqi's eyes lit up, "Then give Yunqi Sheng a try first."

"okay."

Yun Qi still has something to do, so he left first, while Bai Fu and Xiao Si'er stayed and checked around the warehouse.

She made arrangements before leaving for Anzhou, and Bagh's little four built a warehouse and workshop before he came back.

After knocking on the impenetrable "concrete wall", Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction, "Unexpectedly, it was really figured out by you."

At first, she only poured out glutinous rice mortar, and didn't think about cement.

It was later that Mathematics complained that the bricks and stones used for laying the floor were too expensive. At that time, she did not have a lot of money. For the purpose of saving money, she gave a rough formula of the cement she saw in modern times before she left.

She is not an expert in this field, she just remembers a rough idea, and she didn't have much hope when explaining to Xiao Si'er.

Fearing that he and Old Carpenter Li would be under pressure, he also specially emphasized that it is just a try, and it’s okay if it can’t be done.

What surprised her was that Xiao Si'er was waiting for her at the entrance of the village with a concrete block twisted that day, which surprised her quite a bit.

Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. In many cases, what they lack is not technology, but ideas.

It just so happened that although she was not technically skilled, she had a lot of ideas.

It seems that the time-traveling god treated her very kindly, allowing her to live in a fictional era where there was no shortage of smart people.
