Winter and summer reincarnate in the mortal world, and the first snow falls into the dust. Tightly wrapped in clothes and not feeling warm, the running water is cold.

The four of them had a simple breakfast, and the queen drank milk, eggs, and a piece of lean meat with soy sauce.

When she was in the palace, she asked people to go to heaven and earth to get food according to the nutritional combination written by Li Yi.

When she arrived in Zhuangzi, she didn't have to care at all, she ate whatever her uncle arranged.

By the time we finished eating, the sky changed, and there was a light snowfall.

Song De came over: "Proprietor, do you want to start burning the heat?" ”

"It's still early, in a few days, there are enough coal reserves?" Li Yi looked at the sky, he didn't want to use the heating now, the house was too hot, and it was on fire.

"Enough to burn until this time next year, together with the kiln." When Song De talked about it, he felt that he had done a good job.

Charcoal is cheap, ordinary people don't use it, they all burn firewood.

Zhuangzi hired people to dig and transport, but only to pay for labor, and did not need money for charcoal.

"Brother Yi, it's better to bring more of them, after this winter, there will be more coal." Li Chengqi thought of something and said to Li Yi.

"Not bad." Li Longji smiled: "I heard that the young eunuch has made many stoves according to the drawings you drew for Brother Yi, and now there is snow here, it is a good time to promote the Fire Wall Dao." ”

Li Yi understood, and the pictures he gave to his two brothers actually entered the palace.

He also thought of something: "Wouldn't that all use lump coal?" What to do with pulverized coal? ”

"Uncle mean the coalcoal? Since you have to use blocks, you can't burn the powder. ”

There was already a burning in the queen's harem, and she was afraid that she would freeze the child.

"Oh my God!" Li Yi patted his head.

Greeted Song De: "Quick, bring the coal dust from the place where the coal is piled up, I'm looking for a craftsman, the carpenter is good, bring a few planks, and send me here." ”

After a while, a basket of coal dust was brought over from the place where the coal was put off.

The craftsman made a rectangular frame according to Li Yi's words.

Pulverized coal is poured with water and turned into slime.

Li Yi rolled up his sleeves, put the wooden frame on the ground, hugged the slime and threw it into the frame, and slapped it with both hands.

I kept flattening, grabbing both sides of the frame and trying to lift it up, and a coal billet like a brick came out.

"Big brother, third brother, sister-in-law, look at this, if it's dried, you can also burn it, or use a dumpling cake directly, or shake the briquettes with a dustpan."

Li Yi introduced that he didn't want everyone to grab lumps of coal with him, for his own home, why use bright lumps of coal, how good it would be for us to make coal billets.

The palace maid next to him brought water to Li Yi to wash his hands, and Li Longji and the three of them looked at Li Yi and wanted to laugh.

They guessed what Li Yi meant, and at the critical moment, there was a way immediately.

The question is, why do others have to make their own blanks? It doesn't cost money to dig coal.

"It costs money to burn firewood, there are many people and few mines, and the charcoal powder is piled up, so it must always be used." Li Yi said to the three people, looking at Song De with his eyes.

Song De nodded, indicating that he understood, ran away, and went to find someone to transport a large amount of coal back.

Li Longji pondered: "I'll see it later." ”

He wanted to consult with the minister to see if he wanted to collect money for quarrying coal.

"Big brother, after the charcoal is burned, it can be used to make bricks, burn cement, and pave roads, it is to use charcoal slag to pave a good road."

Li Yi came up with another idea, hoping that the eldest brother would continue to use his identity to persuade the imperial court.

"Is that so?" Li Chengji said to write it down.

The four of them walked in the light snow again, and the village was still busy, and there was always something to do.

The rice has not yet been cut, and the crab continues to catch it, and the ingredients for making the drunken crab are purchased and made.

Walking to the edge of Ba Shui, a group of people from Zhangjia Village went out from the shallow water to fish for hemp.

The hemp planted is soaked in water after harvesting, and when it is almost done, it is just taken out.

Next, the hemp should be scraped and the shell should be removed, and the hemp is not twine.

In the process of harvesting hemp before, the hand is easy to be injured, that is, the position of the hemp rod is broken, make a hole, and the hand is drawn up and down along the mouth, and the hemp skin will come down.

In this process, it is like a hand scratching on a piece of paper, and an accident is a cut.

Fortunately, the person who splits the hemp will wrap a cloth around his fingers.

Problems were avoided.

After soaking the hemp, you should continue to scrape it when it is wet.

Hold the knife in one hand, the blade is upward, the thumb is wrapped around the cloth to press the blade, and the tweed is pulled out between the blade and the thumb.

The people of Zhangjia Village stood on the shore to scrape the hemp while fishing for hemp from the water, and the children also helped.

"Yikes!" A twelve- or thirteen-year-old child screamed and shoved his thumb into his mouth.

"Uncle, he has a hand injury." Queen Wang hurriedly said.

Without Li Yi making a sound, the palace maid Cuiliu ran over and brought the child over, and Qingsong unloaded the medical box on his back.

Li Yi raised the child's right hand to look, wiped it with alcohol cotton, and the child grinned.

"It's okay, the wound is less than a centimeter, it's not deep, and it doesn't need to be stitched." Li Yi said and wrapped gauze.

"Don't touch the water recently, take it down in two days to see the situation, remember to look for me." Li Yi said softly to the child.

The child looked him in the eye as if he was making a decision.

After a few breaths, the child clenched his fist with his left hand and took a deep breath: "Proprietor Li, they all say that you are the most powerful and can do anything, right?" ”

Li Yi shook his head: "No, the more you will get, the more ignorant you will find yourself." ”

"Then can you think of a way to make us shave faster? Every year, people hurt their fingers, some get feverish, and then die. The child's face was pleading and expectant.

Li Longji looked at Li Yi, waiting for this omnipotent Yi brother to say, 'Yes'.

"Yes." Li Yi really said the words that Li Longji was looking forward to.

Turning his head, he instructed Brown Rock: "Find a craftsman, ask for a long stool, a few pieces of wood, two scraping blades, and two pieces of light leather." ”

Li Yi said to the child again: "At the moment, I can only make a simple one, and it is troublesome to make it better, and it is too late." ”

The child smiled: "I knew that Li Dongzhu could." ”

After speaking, he turned around and ran over there, shouting as he ran: "Proprietor Li has a good thing, a good thing to scrape hemp." ”

Li Longji and the three of them also smiled.

Li Chengqi patted Li Yi's shoulder, and Queen Wang's hand naturally put it on Li Yi's head and rubbed it.

"Brother Yi, you really never disappoint." Li Longji sighed.

"One day it may not be possible." Li Yi retied his hair.

"It must be God who doesn't allow it, it's against the sky." Li Longji is positioned like this.

As long as it doesn't offend Tianwei, Brother Yi can do it, if Brother Yi can't do it, then he can't do anything, and when manpower is poor.

It didn't take long for the craftsmen and things to be brought over by the brownstone.

Li Yi began to command.

A wooden stick is erected on each side of the bench, and the middle of the stick is cut into the mouth, and the blade is placed on one side of the opening, and the other side is covered with smooth skin.

The sticks are connected at right angles to the two sides of the wood chips, and the outside of the wood chips has a large opening that goes into the gap.

A wisp of wet linen was taken, one end of the hemp was grasped with his hand, and the other end was easily put into it from the big opening, and then he pulled it.

The hemp enters from the large mouth to the small mouth through the blade and the smooth skin, which is elastic and tightly pressed against the blade.

As soon as the hemp was pulled out, the hard shell was stuck.

With the other hand, he took a piece of the hemp off his shell, put it in the opening on the other side, and pulled it again, and the whole piece was drawn.

"This can be faster, the main thing is that it doesn't hurt your hands, let's try it." Li Yi said to a group of people who came up to watch.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and it was easier than scraping there with one hand, the main thing was that the knife did not hurt the hand.
