Chapter 1150: Fully Burning the Grave Spirit

When it rains heavily, the humidity in the air increases and the oxygen content decreases, so many people are willing to open their windows or even go outside with umbrellas at this time to use the coldness and humidity to stimulate their breathing.

Most people don't do this consciously, they just find it so comfortable, including breathing into the fan when someone blows it on.

Today's heavy rain has obviously reduced the oxygen content in the air. When the raindrops hit the ground, they formed a mist.

"It's good to get used to it. We still have to live when there is no oxygen. We can also attack the plateau in the west. At that time, the Tang Dynasty used a large number of local people to attack. Here..."

The director didn't talk about the human problem. Speaking of the environment, the environment in the Northeast is usually the same as other places. When it's hot, it can reach more than 30 degrees above zero.

When it's cold, it's minus 30 degrees Celsius. When it's hot, it's easy. But when it's cold, it's unbearable because there's no heating.

The fire kang is also difficult to use. The big earth stove can only burn firewood, not coal. The stove is close to the floor, so the coal can keep the temperature constant.

Generally speaking, it depends on the wind. If the air pressure is low, then the furnace cannot be pressed. The furnace must be pressed with coal made from coal slime.

A large piece of coal is placed on top of the burning coal, and then the surrounding areas and top are covered with slag, so that the coal burns slowly.

When they are burning it at home, they will see which one is the gangue, pick it out and throw it aside.

The next morning, some of the briquettes could still penetrate the stove and then burn again. This was because the stove had done a good job.

The earthen stove does not burn coal, because there is no grate, and the firewood is put in directly, and it is put together while burning. It requires a tool, a fire stick.

This kind of earth stove must not be burned with coal. The burning of coal requires a lot of air. If it is not set up, there will be a lot of carbon monoxide!

There was a time when coal from Fushun open-pit coal mines, including Shengli Mine, Longfeng Mine, Laohutai Mine, etc., was exclusively supplied to government departments and schools.

In fact, really good coal does not need this. Coal blocks from open-pit mines do not need to be washed. They can be directly loaded into trucks and taken to various houses. The coal is as good as this.

You can't burn firewood on the stove, you can only burn it once for the last time at night, and then stop when the kang is hot. No one dares to let the firewood continue to burn.

The briquettes have gaps next to each other, which increases the area exposed to the air, making it less likely to cause carbon poisoning. At the same time, the briquettes burn quickly and provide heat quickly.

Therefore, there was a profession in old Beijing when Zhu Wentian was still alive, which was to shake coal briquettes. Add water to cheap coal slime and shake it in a hanging dustpan, and the coal would be shaken into small balls.

To burn coal, you need an iron grate. The coal is burned on this grate, and the ventilation below allows the coal to burn as fully as possible.

Why shake it into a ball? Isn't it okay to make a coal block normally? It is actually possible to make large pieces of briquettes that look like bricks, but there is a problem: the combustion is not complete.

Fire sticks are only used for a short time. If you stuff firewood into it, it will burn itself. A fire stick will basically burn out in a few days.

At that time, Beijing's population was relatively dense, and they were all people of higher status. They first had to ensure that their probability of being exposed to carbon monoxide was low.

When the air pressure is low, if the coal is still pressed like this, the soot cannot be quickly discharged by the chimney, and it will emerge on the fire bed, which is carbon monoxide.

At that time, school teachers used wax paper to write papers and then printed them out for students to take exams. That’s why there was that song: Whenever I walk gently by your window...

Later, no one sang because the teacher did not allow it and they knew they would not accompany the song.

No one is singing this song now. After everyone has finished eating, they are sitting there waiting for the rain to stop so they can go out. Today, according to the arrangement, I have to go to some people's homes to see their stoves. It's not just whether the stoves are repaired well, but I also have to ask about the stoves or help them run them.

If you burn firewood for a long time, the firewood ash will hang on the wall of the fire tunnel under the maze-like fire kang. Over time, if it hangs too much, it will affect the ventilation.

At this time, a strong burning object should be used to burn it in the earthen stove. At the same time, if the weather is good, it can be smoked quickly.

What is usually used as this fierce burning object? It's just linoleum paper. This is good. When you light a roll and put it in the stove, you can hear a whirring sound, the fire rushes, and then you hear a bang.

The sound is coming from inside the house, go and see it! The bricks of the heated kang are pushed up by the firepower of the linoleum paper. Repair them! It will take several days to repair.

Basically, it is the head of the kang, not the kangshao, and the kangshao will never cause erection.

What is the firepower of the kangtou? Put a whip there and it will crackle.

Someone tried this, and the person who tried it was... I wanted to heat up firecrackers when I was a kid, but...

……

"How many people buy grates?" Zhu Ping didn't read the account. He asked directly. Coal-burning grates are only sold in department stores.

There are large, medium and small types of grates. If you have a grate, you need a stove ring. The rings are put together, and finally a round iron piece with holes is placed in the middle.

If you sweep it and wipe it with water, you can bake things directly on it. If you don't want to bake it, put a pot of water on it.

When Liu Sheng heard this, he understood and responded: "The people here now have grates in every household, and they are all specially built stoves. This kind of stove is... from Xiaqiu Village, right? It's very easy to use, especially Even the stove can be blocked in the middle.”

As Liu Sheng said that, he suddenly remembered that the people from Xiaqiu Village were around. The continuous stove was the drawing given by Xiaqiu Village. It was usually a double stove. If the stove was larger, it would be a triple stove.

No matter how many stoves there are, each one needs a grate, ventilation, and ashes blown through.

The grate is metal. In the past, the Yuan Dynasty did not allow too much metal here. Mining and smelting were not allowed, and farming was also restricted.

Nowadays, people here have coal in their homes, which proves that coal can be better utilized. In summer, that is, now, people will not go inside to burn large stoves to make it hot.

So I built an earthen stove outside to burn firewood. This was not to save coal, but simply because I couldn’t keep buying grates, which were quite expensive!
"Do you buy a lot from the Jurchens?" Zhu Ping asked. He approved the Zhazi matter at Yingtian Mansion at the time. Of course, the decision was made in Xiaqiu Village.

At that time, Xiaqiu Village said that if the cast iron was not good, just make a grate and transport it here. It doesn't matter the size, even if it is deformed during casting, it will be used here.

The function of the grate is to lift the coal up, where there is wind below, making it easier to burn. Then the furnace hook is used to penetrate the furnace.

Looking at the data, we can analyze how many stable residents there are in the Jurchens. We can't just repair a stove and install it, and then dismantle the stove and take out the grate when we need to go to the pasture, right?

"There were few before, but now there are more, but they don't use coal slime, they buy coal blocks. They arranged some slaves to work here."

Liu Sheng answered fluently at this time. He knew the direction. After recalling it, he understood what data His Highnesses needed.
