Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 187 Promotion of Coal Stoves and Kang Kang

"Brother Yin, what are you looking for?" Cheng Lingxue asked cutely seeing him like this.

"Okay, that's it." Wang Yin didn't answer her, but walked towards an open space.

Seeing Wang Yin move, curious people immediately surrounded him.

"Go get some water, it doesn't need much, half a bucket is enough." Wang Yin took out a bucket and gestured with his hand before handing it to a villager next to him.

"Okay!" The villagers rushed to the river to fetch water with buckets.

"Everyone, please give way and make some room." Wang Yin ordered when he saw that the villagers were gathering too close.

Seeing that the villagers had vacated enough land, Wang Yin took the cinders out of the system space and put them on the ground.

"Is there any clay nearby?" Wang Yin looked at the villagers and asked.

"Yes!" A thin villager replied, "How much does the Duke want?"

"About one-fifth of this pile." Wang Yin pointed to the pile of cinders on the ground.

"One-fifth?" The villagers were stunned upon hearing this.

"It's [-]%." Cheng Lingxue quickly explained upon seeing this.

After all, I have been with Wang Yin for a long time, and I know these things more or less.

"Okay!" Several villagers immediately ran over to dig the soil.

Immediately, Cheng Lingxue stared at Wang Yin with an expression of 'quickly praise me'. Seeing this, Wang Yin smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.

Cao Wenxi looked at the cinders on the ground for a while, and then looked at Wang Yin, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and his face looked suffocated as if he was constipated. . .

After a while, a villager came over carrying the dug soil with a pole and a basket, and dumped it on the ground next to the cinder pile. After going back and forth several times, they finally got enough for Wang Yin's needs.

"Master Jun, what should I do next?" After finishing the soil, the people looked at Wang Yin, waiting for the next order.

"Crush the clay and mix it into the cinders. Remember to mix it evenly." Wang Yin told everyone: "Add a little water while stirring."

Although there are a lot of cinders, there are more villagers who can't stand it. It didn't take long to finish mixing. Wang Yin grabbed a handful and tried it, and found that it was a bit dry and couldn't be formed well, so he asked the villagers to add some water. Keep stirring it up.

After tossing around a few times and feeling that it was almost done, Wang Yin bought some briquette molds from the system and distributed them to everyone.

"It's very simple to use, just soak the mold in water for a while, so that it doesn't go over the mold." Wang Yin demonstrated to everyone while talking: "Then press it hard like this, and it will be folded firmly."

Immediately, Wang Yin took the mold and left the coal pile, walked to the open space next to him and put the honeycomb briquettes formed inside on the ground: "This way the work is done, let it dry out for a day or two depending on the weather, and it can be used after it dries completely. "

Although they didn't know what was the use of Wang Yin asking them to make this thing, but out of blind trust in Wang Yin, everyone started to work happily. Without much effort, the briquettes were all finished.

Originally, Wang Yin planned to get an electric machine, but he gave up because he was afraid of electrocution.

"Young Master, how do you use this thing?" Cao Wenxi, who was about to suffer internal injuries, finally couldn't help asking.

"Go and get some flammable dry firewood." Wang Yin saw that Cao Wenxi was really suffocated, so he stopped teasing him.

Dry firewood and the like belong to the necessities of life, and the villagers quickly got a bunch of them.

The honeycomb briquettes that had just been made were still too damp to use, so Wang Yin could only buy three more pieces of briquette from the mall, and repeated the steps he had demonstrated to Li Shimin before, and after a while, black smoke billowed down the chimney. come out.

"Hey, it's so warm." The villagers who were closer felt the heat from the stove after a while.

"Have you seen this?" Wang Yin pointed to the chimney next to him: "This one is short now, and when it is used, it will be replaced with a long one, and it will go outside the house, so that people will not be smoked by the poisonous smoke."

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the poison of the charcoal is contained in the smoke?" Cao Wenxi seemed to understand: "Just let the poisonous smoke out of the house?"

"That's right, it contains a substance that is harmful to people. If it is inhaled into the body in a closed environment like a house, it will poison people to death. If it is in an open environment like the outside, as long as it is not for death It's okay to lie down and inhale hard into the nose." Wang Yin explained.

"So that's how it is!" Cao Wenxi understood, and the breath he had held all afternoon was finally smooth.

"Tell the brats at home when you turn around, don't damage the briquettes on the ground," Wang Yin told the villagers.

"Please don't worry, Mr. County, we will take good care of the cub at home!" The villagers immediately promised.

"This stove is three hundred yuan each, and honeycomb briquettes are free, so everyone can do it by themselves." Then Wang Yin took out the first batch of stoves: "Of course, it is not mandatory for everyone to buy. First, the family will get one and go back and try it out for two years." God, buy it if it feels right, and don’t force it if it doesn’t.”

After hearing the price of the stove, the villagers couldn't help but frowned, but after hearing that they could try it out first, they no longer cared about it: it doesn't cost anything to try it out, and if you don't feel good about it then just don't buy it.

"Okay, I'll leave the next one to you." Wang Yin patted Cao Wenxi on the shoulder: "Those who are not here, you can share with them when they come back. If the stove is not enough or there are too many, let me know."

"Here!" Cao Wenxi responded quickly.

"Are there any masons among you?" Wang Yin looked at the villagers present and asked.

"Young Lord, I am." A short black-faced man came out and said.

"Are there any bricks in the village?" Wang Yin asked after thinking about it.

"Uncle was joking, blue bricks are something only rich people can afford, we poor people can't afford them."

"Okay, then get some clay and stones." Wang Yin thought for a while and said, "Try to find some neat stones."

Immediately, Wang Yin directed the masons to his house to build a kang. Although there were still many limitations and shortcomings in the materials, it was barely usable.

"Get some firewood and burn it for a few days to get rid of the moisture, and then you can use it when it's completely dry." Wang Yin ordered after reading it.

"Young Master, can this thing really keep you warm all night?" The villagers asked incredulously after hearing Wang Yin's explanation of the purpose of the kang.

"If there are no bricks, the seal won't work. It must be close, but most of the night will be fine." Wang Yin looked at the crowd and said, "Try it then and you'll know."

"Let's go." Wang Yin waved to Cheng Lingxue, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Brother Yin, you are so awesome!" On the way back, Cheng Lingxue looked at Wang Yin with twinkling eyes and said.

"Girl, you have said this dozens of times." Wang Yin said helplessly, "Can't you change the word?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Lingxue tilted her head and thought for a while: "Brother Yin, you are so amazing!"

Wang Yin: "..."
