Chapter 189: The Promotion of Coal Stoves and Ondols
"Brother Yin, what are you looking for?" Cheng Lingxue asked playfully when she saw him like this.
"Alright, that's it." Wang Yin didn't answer her, but walked towards an open space.
Seeing that Wang Yin moved, curious people immediately followed and surrounded him.
"Go get some water, you don't need too much, just half a bucket." Wang Yin took out a bucket and gestured with his hand, then handed it to a villager next to him.
"Okay!" As a result, the villagers ran to the river to fetch water.
"Let's all give way, make some room." Wang Yin saw that the villagers were too close, so he gave an order.
After 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 clay nearby?" Wang Yin looked at the villagers and asked.
"Yes!" A thin villager replied: "How much does the county grandfather want?" ”
"About a fifth of this pile." Wang Yin pointed to the cinder pile on the ground.
"A fifth?" The villagers were stunned when they heard this.
"It's twenty percent." Seeing this, Cheng Lingxue hurriedly explained.
After all, I've been with Wang Yin for a long time, and I know more or less about these things.
"Okay!" Several villagers immediately ran over to dig the soil.
Immediately, Cheng Lingxue stared at Wang Yin, with a 'praise me' expression, Wang Yin smiled at her when he saw this, and gave her a thumbs up.
Cao Wenxi looked at the cinders on the ground for a while, and looked at Wang Yin for a while, looking like he didn't dare to ask, and his face was as if he was constipated...
After a while, a villager came over with a flat pole and a basket carrying the excavated soil, poured it on the ground next to the cinder pile, and after going back and forth several times, finally got enough of the amount Wang Yin needed.
"Grandpa Jun, how do you get it down there?" After finishing the soil, the people looked at Wang Yin, waiting for the next command.
"Break up the clay and mix it into the cinders, make sure you mix it evenly." Wang Yin instructed everyone: "Add a little water when stirring." ”
Although there are a lot of cinders, but it can't stand the villagers more, it didn't take long to finish stirring, Wang Yin grabbed a handful and tried it and found that it was slightly dry and could not be formed well, so he asked the villagers to add some water and continue to stir.
After tossing a few times, Wang Yin felt that it was almost over, so Wang Yin bought some honeycomb coal molds from the system and distributed them to everyone.
"This is very simple to use, first soak this mold in water, and you can pass the mold." Wang Yin said while demonstrating to everyone: "Then press it hard like this, and just press it to fold it." ”
Immediately, Wang Yin left the coal pile with the mold, walked to the open space next to him and put the honeycomb coal formed inside on the ground: "That's it, it's over, watch the weather outside for a day or two, and you can use it after it's dry." ”
Although I don't know what the use of Wang Yin letting them get this thing is, but out of blind trust in Wang Yin, everyone still started to work happily, and it didn't take much effort, and a full field of honeycomb coal was ready.
Originally, Wang Yin planned to get an electric machine, but later gave up for fear of electrocution.
"Grandpa Jun, how do you use this thing?" Cao Wenxi, who was about to suffocate his internal injuries, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Go get some flammable dry wood or something." Wang Yin saw that Cao Wenxi was really suffocated, so he stopped teasing him.
Dry firewood and the like are essential items for daily life, and the villagers quickly got a bunch of them.
The honeycomb coal that had just been made was too wet to use, so Wang Yin could only buy three more pieces of honeycomb coal from the mall, and repeated the steps he had taken when he demonstrated it to Li Shimin before, and after a while, billowing black smoke came out down the chimney.
"Hey, it's warm." After a while, the villagers who were closer felt the heat emanating from the stove.
"See that?" Wang Yin pointed to the chimney next to him: "Now this one is short, and when it is used, it will be replaced with a long one, and it will lead to the outside of the house, so that people will not be smoked by poisonous smoke." ”
"Grandpa Jun means that the poison of this charcoal is in this smoke?" Cao Wenxi seemed to understand: "Just discharge these poisonous fumes outside the house?" ”
"That's right, it contains a substance that is harmful to people, if it is sucked into the body in a closed environment like a house, it will poison people, if it is in an open environment like outside, as long as you don't lie down and suck it into your nose hard, it's fine." Wang Yin explained.
"I see!" Cao Wenxi understood, and the breath he had held all afternoon was finally smooth.
"When I go back, tell the bear children at home, don't break the honeycomb coal on the ground," Wang Yin instructed the villagers.
"Grandpa Jun, please rest assured, we will take care of the cubs in the family!" The villagers immediately assured that they would arrive.
"This stove is 300 wen apiece, and honeycomb coal doesn't cost money, so everyone can do it themselves." Immediately, Wang Yin took out the first batch of stoves: "Of course, it is not mandatory for everyone to buy it, first get one and go back to try it for two days, and buy it if it feels suitable, and if it is not suitable, it is not forced." ”
After hearing the price of the stove, the villagers couldn't help frowning, but after hearing that they could try it first, they didn't care anymore: anyway, the trial didn't cost money, and when the time came, they didn't buy it if they didn't feel good.
"Alright, I'll take care of the rest of it." Wang Yin patted Cao Wenxi on the shoulder: "Those who are not there, when they come back, you can divide them for them, and if the stove is not enough or too much, tell me." ”
"Whoa!" Cao Wenxi hurriedly responded.
"Do you have any masons among you?" Wang Yin looked at the villagers present and asked.
"Grandpa Jun, I am." A black-faced man with a small height walked out and said.
"Are there bricks in the village?" Wang Yin thought about it and asked again.
"Uncle said with a smile, green bricks are something that only rich families can afford, where can we poor people afford to use 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 commanded the mason to go to his house to get a fire kang, although there are still many shortcomings in material limitations, but it can barely be used.
"Get some firewood for a few days to get rid of the moisture, and then when it's completely dry, you're ready to use." After reading it, Wang Yin commanded.
"Grandpa Jun, can this thing really warm up the night?" After listening to Wang Yin's description of the purpose of the kang kang, the villagers asked unconvinced.
"If you don't have bricks, the seal won't work, it's definitely a little worse, but it's still okay for most of the night." Wang Yin looked at everyone and said, "You'll know when you try it." ”
"Gone." Wang Yin beckoned to Cheng Lingxue and walked towards the entrance of the village.
"Brother Yin, you are amazing!" On the way back, Cheng Lingxue looked at Wang Yin with little stars in her eyes and said.
"Girl, you've 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: "。。。。。。 ”
