The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

It was a group of people who came out for autumn hunting, and naturally they were also a group when they returned, plus some wild animals they hunted, and a bag of coal specially dug by someone.

When Tao Anran went back, he drew the mold and coal stove for making briquettes according to his memory.

The shape of the mold is a rod in the middle with a handle on the top and a cylindrical bottom, which is hollow but has about a dozen short sticks in the middle.The short stick is to poke holes in the briquettes to turn them into briquettes.

Coal stoves are usually made of iron cylinders, with a hollow center for briquettes. There is a damper switch on the front to keep the coal fire alive, and the connecting pipes on the back are outward.

After drawing the pictures of the two things, Tao Anran asked someone to bring the pictures to the blacksmith, and make sure to create the things in his memory.Although there were some mistakes in the middle and it took some time, he finally got what he wanted.

With the mold for making briquettes, you can start making briquettes.Honeycomb coal is composed of coal and yellow mud, but the specific ratio needs to be verified.Sometimes if the ratio is wrong, the formed briquette cannot be made, or the briquette can be made but the combustion will not be complete.

In the yard there is a pile of coal, a pile of loess, and a bucket of water on the side.Tao Anran was a little worried looking at these things. He is an inexperienced person who only knows the result but not the process.Now he still has some troubles trying to blend the materials into briquettes.

Seeing that the princess was worried, Bai Lu suggested, "Princess, do you want to mix these things thoroughly? This servant remembers Master Liu who was hired to repair the kang, so he should be familiar with these. He used to be a mason who repaired houses, and he often dealt with these loess. Why don't you invite him to take a look?"

Tao Anran's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "Then go and see him again. By the way, he should still be repairing the kang right now, do you have time to come over?"

Bai Lu hurriedly replied, "Maidservant let someone go and see first?"

Tao Anran nodded.

The mansion sent people to look at it, and soon someone brought Master Liu over.

When Liu Laosi saw the princess, he immediately greeted him with a big gift, "I have seen the princess!"

At the beginning, Liu Laosi was just an ordinary craftsman, and he made a living by repairing houses for others.Although life is not sad, it can only be regarded as passable.But since he was recruited into the palace last year and learned the skill of repairing the kang, his life has become more and more prosperous.

Now everyone in Yunzhou City doesn't know him, Liu Laosi, and he has taught many apprentices who repair the kang.Walking on the road, everyone politely called him "Master Liu".Not only is he earning more and more money, but his life is getting better and better, and he feels extremely comfortable in his heart.

And all of this was given to him by the palace.Even though he was warned not to spread the word about who taught the technology of repairing the kang, Liu Laosi knew it in his heart.The princess was the one who brought it all together.His good life now is bestowed by the princess.

So when he heard the summons from the palace again, Liu Laosi immediately put down the work at hand and hurriedly followed them into the palace.After coming in and seeing the princess, he immediately understood that something good might come to him again.

Tao Anran was also very happy to see Liu Laosi, he was finally an experienced person.

He quickly said: "Excuse me. How is Master Liu doing now? Are you still busy?"

Liu Lao Si hurriedly replied: "Thanks to the princess, the villain's life is not bad. The villain is repairing the kang in the city recently, but the people under him can also become teachers, so just watch from the sidelines." .And the kangs in the city are almost repaired, and the villain is considered idle."

Tao Anran smiled and said, "Since you're idle now, I happen to have something to ask you for."

Liu Laosi replied: "Don't dare, the princess has something to tell me."

Tao Anran said: "You used to be a mason who built houses, so you should know the proportion of some soil. I have a pile of charcoal, a pile of loess and water here, and I just want to mix them."

After he finished speaking, he motioned Liu Laosi to look at the things on the ground beside him.

Liu Laosi looked at the carboniferous loess and water on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "This is to be mixed together? What kind of concrete is it? Dryer or thinner?"

Tao Anran explained: "It should be neither dry nor thin. You can see if there is a mold next to it, it is the kind that can be buckled in the mold, poured out in a complete shape, and then ventilated to dry, and then it can be burned. ."

Liu Laosi half understood what he heard, but he still dared to try.So he took the initiative to say: "Princess, although I don't understand it very well, I am willing to try it first."

Tao Anran responded immediately, "Okay, it would be great if you are willing to try. I am afraid that the ratio of these things will need to be tested several times to determine it. You try it according to experience first, and I will tell you some of the things I know. Let's work together, just like repairing the kang before, this time we will be able to succeed."

Liu Lao Si replied with a blushing face, "The concubine is a villain. The villain is just trying my best."

Having said that, Liu Lao Si is obviously more concerned.Although he still doesn't know what he is going to make this time, he has a hunch that this time it might be as magical as a kang.

The next thing, Tao Anran mainly handed over to Liu Laosi.In fact, it is not difficult to make a shape of honeycomb coal, but the difficulty is whether the ratio of carbon to mud in it can make the honeycomb coal burn completely.

Based on his experience, Liu Laosi used a few molds to produce a few decent honeycomb briquettes.After the honeycomb briquettes are ventilated and dried, they are taken to test the combustion situation.It's a pity that some briquettes can't burn, and some can burn but always emit a puff of black smoke.The closest briquette is burned out, but in fact, half of it has not been fully utilized.

But fortunately, after several trials, Tao Anran became more and more confident.He believes that after a few more tries, he should be able to make real briquettes.

Sure enough, not long after that, Liu Laosi came up with the perfect formula for briquettes.There is no problem with the newly made honeycomb burning, and what is left after burning is only some loess residues.It is also convenient and simple to use on a coal stove.

With briquettes and coal stoves, this is a huge convenience for life.So, now that we have this business opportunity, if we want to realize it, we have to go to Qian Mancang.

When the money filled the warehouse, he looked excited.He has figured out the pattern, as long as the princess summons him, there must be a new money-making project.

Although I don't know how the princess came up with so many ways to make money, but the fact that the princess can make money means that she can also make more money.As long as he is in Yunzhou City, he can come immediately with a word from the princess.

The way to make money this time is briquettes and coal stoves.Qian Mancang was no longer surprised to see the princess turning poisonous coal into flammable briquettes.For him, he was used to the princess' ability to turn waste into treasure.

Honeycomb briquettes are simple in materials and extremely low in cost.The periphery of the coal stove is made of iron, but the material is not much, and the cost is not high.But with a coal stove, not only can you cook and boil water, but you can also keep warm in winter, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Qian Mancang immediately realized that this was a huge business opportunity.He was also not polite to the princess, and immediately made a sharing agreement according to the old rules.However, when he was about to leave with the sample, the princess called to stop him, and recommended Liu Laosi to him.

Although the ratio of briquettes has been tested, as long as it is done according to the ratio, briquettes can be obtained.But Liu Lao Si made great efforts after all, so Tao Anran recommended him to Qian Mancang as a foreman to guide others to make briquettes.

Qian Mancang heard that it was Liu Laosi who experimented with the ratio of briquettes, and immediately accepted Wang Hao's recommendation.He has too many businesses under his hands now, and the manpower is tight when they are scattered.This time there is a new business.When making briquettes, there is an experienced person present to save you from fumbling.

Qian Mancang immediately smiled friendlyly at the restless Liu Laosi beside him: "Master Liu, I have the audacity to call you Brother Liu. I just didn't know Taishan, so I didn't notice Brother Liu. I didn't expect this briquette Brother Liu worked hard to make it. You should have heard that the younger brother is going to set up a workshop this time to recruit people to make briquettes for sale. The workshop is short of a manager. I don’t know if Brother Liu is interested in coming When this is in charge?"

Liu Lao Si hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare to do it, it's all the idea of ​​the princess, the villain just put in some effort. But since it's the princess's order, the villain should obey. But the villain can't be in charge, as long as he and others It’s good to make briquettes together.”

Qian Mancang immediately said: "Brother Liu, don't be modest. Now you are the only one who can make briquettes, and you will be required to teach the next recruits. If you are not in charge, who will be in charge? And you don't have to worry about other things, you just need to be responsible for teaching new people. Those who come here are good. And the salary, I will give you this amount first, and then if the briquette sells well, I will increase it as appropriate. What do you think?"

Seeing the gesture made by Qian Mancang, Liu Laosi swallowed.If this can really earn so much, it will be more than he is currently repairing the heated kang.

He no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded and replied: "Thanks to the villain. The villain will definitely work hard from now on."

After putting aside the briquette matter, Tao Anran couldn't be idle either.Because there is a word from Zhuangzi that it is cotton that blooms white flowers.

It was only then that Tao Anran remembered this crop, the cotton he planted in spring should be harvested.Because he had been busy with other things before, he forgot that there was still cotton in the field.

Since the cotton is spit out the tidbits, it means that it is time to pick.Fearing that others would not know the importance of cotton, Tao Anran took a car to the field to have a look.

When he arrived in the field, he saw that the husks of the cotton were almost all cracked and spit out white flocs, so he immediately ordered people to pick the white fluffs inside.At the beginning, there were not many cotton seeds. Even if they were all planted, only four to five catties of cotton were harvested in the end.

This bit of cotton is not enough to make a thick quilt.But it is enough to make two quilted jackets, and there are still some remaining cotton that can be used to make several inner clothes, which absorb sweat and keep warmer than the current clothes.

Take out the cotton seeds again this time.The remaining cotton is handed over to the embroidery room.When the cotton seeds were first planted, the remaining cotton was handed over to the embroidery workshop to be spun into cloth.The people in the embroidery room have long tried to weave cotton into cloth, but there is a shortage of cotton.This time, except for a catty and a half of cotton that was used to make padded jackets, the rest was spun into cloth and made into clothes.

Tao Anran was busy all the time and didn't pay attention to the time until people around him reminded him that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming.
