After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 113: The Accident of Honeycomb Briquettes

Something beyond Bai Qingyun's expectations.

When the coal excavated in the morning was transported down, the whole village watched it together under the command of Bai Qingyun.

In the afternoon, Bai Qingyun went up the mountain with the coal-digging team. The idle woman used the stove fire that had not yet been extinguished to dry the freshly made honeycomb coals.

Because of some improper use during the drying process, the honeycomb coal fell directly into the stove fire.

Several women were frightened by the unexpected scene and without giving it much thought, they all prepared to salvage it with their bare hands.

But he didn't expect that the bottom of the honeycomb coal had been ignited by the stove fire.

Until the coal miners returned in the afternoon, the honeycomb coal was still burning.

"Bai girl, I didn't expect this coal to last much longer than ordinary firewood. With this, we won't be afraid of freezing in winter!"

"Yeah, you have an idea. If you hadn't led us, we wouldn't have known that this black stuff is so easy to burn!"

Father Bai led the coal miners to wash up. After a day of hard work, everyone had some coal dust on their face, which was okay if it only got on their clothes.

Once it gets on your face, with today's cleaning products, it will take longer to clean because it's not strong enough.

There was no ready-made bathhouse in the village, so a temporary one could only be built in a side room in the backyard of the village chief's house.

Coal ash is excavated by manual tools, and the dust it raises can penetrate into every pore. It is common for it to get into the nostrils or mouth. Although people are protected by clothes, some of the dust will still be contaminated on the body.

At first, the villagers wanted to go back to their own homes to wash and brush their teeth, instead of crowding together. However, Father Bai stopped them and said, "This coal dust is hard to wash. It will be cleaner if you wash together and rub each other's backs. Otherwise, you will have to wait until you get home in the evening and ask your wife to rub your back for you!"

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

The Bai family was the wealthiest family in the village in the past. After retirement, Grandpa Bai used his skills to build a large brick and tile house for his family. Because he had difficulty in having children and only had one son, Father Bai, the house they built was not big, but it was much more exquisite than most families in the village.

The second one is the family of Village Chief Yang.

Village chief Yang is the head of the village. His eldest son is capable and his second son works in the county government office. After his two sons got married, they had many children. Although they have started their own families, they have not separated.

A few years ago, the two brothers decided to expand the current house based on the old house. Although it is not as exquisite as the Bai family’s, it can meet the basic living needs of the family.

The women in the village are now busy in the ancestral hall. After finishing their work, they gather around the honeycomb coal production site. Even the children gather around to watch the fun. The only ones left at home now are the elderly who cannot stand the cold and newborn babies who cannot walk yet.

The oldest woman in the village chief's family is the village chief's wife. Now she is leading everyone to work in the kitchen.

Therefore, the village chief's house is the most suitable choice in terms of location and environment.

After hearing what Mr. Bai said, Village Chief Yang asked Yang Dashan to take everyone home to wash up.

Bai Qingyun had specifically reminded Bai's father of his suggestion when they were going down the mountain. After watching everyone for a whole day, Bai Qingyun saw the dust on everyone's bodies and remembered that in the development history of the modern plane, the country's development in the early days of its founding was driven by these heavy industries.

At that time, supporting living facilities would be built next to a large coal mine to facilitate all aspects of the lives of the coal miners.

The mining of a large coal mine takes a long time, until their children are born and go to school, until they are admitted to schools outside and go out to see the world. The older generation of coal miners are also old. After retirement, some of them live with their children, while others continue to live there.

But Bai Qingyun no longer has time to build and improve these things, so he can only pass on the life details he can think of, in the hope of helping everyone to the greatest extent possible.

The cleanest people in this team are Village Chief Yang and Bai Qingyun.

Village chief Yang is old, and he couldn’t stand such a long climb up the mountain on the first day, so he went in to rest early.

Bai Qingyun officially started his busy work after coming down the mountain. Although the ingredients of honeycomb coal are simple, the ratio needs to be accurately grasped.

If there is too little water, the dried body will crack easily, and if there is too much water, it will be difficult to shape it using tools...

Bai Qingyun had only seen this production process in videos before, and this was the first time he tried to make it himself.

After coming down the mountain at noon, Bai Qingyun has been studying the ratio. When there is too much water, he adds coal and soil. When the coal and mud are dry, he adds water. He repeats this process until he finally finds the right ratio.

The efficiency on the first day was not ideal. We were busy for a long time in the morning, and most of the work was done to dig the entrance to the mine. Only the shallow surface of the coal could be mined.

In addition, Bai Qingyun's research progress was not very fast, and he only made a dozen honeycomb coals in the morning.

If these dozen or so were used only by the Bai family, they could last for a few days, but looking at the entire village, the supply would not even be enough for a day.

Bai Qingyun is much more motivated at night than during the day. He has found his own rhythm and can teach others better how to make things.

Fortunately, thanks to that mistake, everyone knows the benefits of honeycomb briquettes, which also stimulates everyone's enthusiasm for learning.

In addition, Grandma Bai and Mother Bai took some more molds in the afternoon, so there were more people and the production efficiency was much higher.

Today, the dinner in Dayang Village was not served early. It was already dark when the table was served, but this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.

Holding his own bowl, he put some dishes on it, and ate the big steamed buns that were just out of the pot, then squatted in the area where the honeycomb coal was drying, watching and eating.

"Aunt Niu, aren't you tired of squatting like this?"

Bai Qingyun didn't eat much for dinner. He quickly filled his stomach and prepared to go home. There was no one to take care of the two little guys at home today. Normally, if he wanted to see them, he could just enter the space with his consciousness and see them. Now, he suddenly hadn't seen them for a whole day, and he didn't know if the two little guys would miss him.

On the way home, he happened to pass by the place where honeycomb coal was drying, and saw a crowd of people watching. Bai Qingyun couldn't help but step forward and tease the familiar people he saw.

Aunt Bai was holding the bowl in her hand, which was empty. She had finished eating long ago, but she couldn't bear to look away when she saw the scene in front of her. It was Bai Qingyun's voice that brought her back to her senses.

"Bai girl, you don't know that I, your aunt, can't move my feet after seeing this!"

Then he stood up, pulled Bai Qingyun to his side, and asked, "Tell Aunt Niu how much coal is left on the mountain. If it doesn't work, let's go up the mountain together tomorrow!"

A lot of honeycomb coal is produced in a day, but everyone knows that it has to be shared among all the villagers, so how much will be left in the hands of each family?

But everyone knows that if only their family members go up the mountain to mine, even these few pieces may be difficult to find, and there is always the possibility of accidents.

So when the allocation is small, no one chooses to work alone, but instead wants to put in more effort to increase the amount that can be allocated as much as possible!
