Chapter Seventy-Three: Qu Tuquan's Request
Li Fei found a new yard, and Niu Zhu soon heard about it.
When he came to Li Fei's house, he saw Li Fei tinkering with a wooden thing in the yard, but he didn't care, and asked:
"Brother Fei, our buddies heard that you bought a yard, it's quite big, and they all want to help clean it up, when do you think it will start?"
Li Fei didn't raise his head, and while fiddling with the things in his hand, he said:
"They don't need them, they just need to do their job well! Tidy up the yard and hire a few short-term workers - they have finally established themselves in the workshop, and someone is willing to hire them to deliver food, and if they give up halfway, won't all their previous efforts be in vain? ”
Niu Zhu actually knew this truth naturally, and when he heard Li Fei say this, he scratched his head with a smile and said:
"It's not that everyone thinks that you have given everyone a stable job, and this is not to repay you!"
Li Fei put down the mold in his hand, straightened his waist, and said to Niu Zhu with a straight face:
"Zhuzi, you have to make it clear to everyone, we are cooperating, understand? At best, you're my employees - you don't understand employees? It's for me to work, but this job is serious work. If I do my private work, I should pay them...... Not to mention so much? Well, normally speaking, now they deliver food well and build up their reputation, which is much better than helping me repair this yard! ”
Professional things need professional people to do, and Li Fei has always believed in this truth.
Therefore, for the newly bought yard, he had already contacted Carpenter Li to help repair the broken wood and other things inside.
Carpenter Li was very grateful to Li Fei, so he took the job very simply, and also put forward a lot of reasonable suggestions, which made Li Fei very satisfied, so Li Fei simply didn't go. Let's wait until the work is done over there!
Niu Zhu was a little embarrassed, but he actually wanted to help......
However, when he saw the mold that Li Fei had just put down, he immediately became interested again and asked:
"Phine, what is this?"
Li Fei picked up the mold again and said, "Mold." This is made of honeycomb coal. ”
Yes, Li Fei is ready to make honeycomb coal!
Of course, it is not to do it yourself, but to do it for the poor residents in Yongle Fang - of course, the premise is to promote the honeycomb coal stove.
Li Fei has already conducted market research and asked Qu Tuquan again, knowing that in this era, most of the heating is still used in charcoal basins.
Li Fei didn't know what coal was like in his original time and space. But now, at least in the era when he is now Li Fei, although coal is used, it is not used much in ordinary people's homes!
He went to the bazaar and found that there were sacks of coal for sale, but most of them were bought by blacksmiths for exercise.
Ordinary people, rarely come to use! And the crushed coal is directly treated as a consumable and thrown away!
This thing is a treasure!
Therefore, when Guo Qingshan mentioned that condition, he had actually thought of this!
Because making honeycomb coal is not a difficult technical job, it only needs to be unified in the mold, practice more, and ordinary people can quickly master it!
And the cost of this job is low, as long as it is promoted, the market is vast, although it is not said to make a huge fortune, but if you want to solve the problem of food and clothing, it is not a problem!
It just needs to be watched.
Li Fei looked up at Niu Zhu, Niu Zhu was furious by Li Fei, and asked a little unnaturally:
"Brother Fei'er, you...... What do you mean? ”
Li Fei shook his head regretfully and said:
"I originally wanted to leave this matter to you, but now you're busy with food delivery, and you can't be busy, it seems that you have to find someone else!"
Niu Zhu hurriedly waved his hand:
"Yes! Just this food delivery thing, I feel that I am too busy to turn around, this job, you better find someone else! ”
Li Fei was speechless, not knowing whether to say that Niu Zhu was self-aware, or whether to say that he had no enterprising spirit.
However, the matter of food delivery does need to be watched by one person, and Niu Zhu is not distracted.
"Brother Fei'er, what are you talking about?"
While Li Fei was thinking about it, Qu Tuquan walked in with his family.
Qu Tuquan has to come to Li Fei's house once a day, and to be honest, Li Fei is used to it.
Anyway, this top second generation doesn't have any shelf, just come here, and just help himself block a thunder - he often appears, and the He family, who Li Fei originally thought would inevitably retaliate, was directly silent over there.
"We're looking for someone to make honeycomb coal...... Brother Congregation, are you interested? Of course, it's not about you, there should be someone on your side, right? ”
Li Fei asked inexplicably, but Qu Tuquan understood, and immediately said with a smile:
"Someone! There is nothing else for the brothers, there are many people! ”
He walked over, took the mold next to Li Fei, and said while fiddling with it curiously:
"Actually, even if you don't ask, I'm ready to beg for my brother this time!"
Li Fei actually guessed what he wanted to ask for, but he still asked:
"What's the matter with Brother Qu Tu, just say it!"
As soon as Niu Zhu saw that the two people wanted to talk about something, he said:
"You two say, I'll go first, and I'll keep an eye on the food delivery side!"
Li Fei didn't leave him either, only told him a few words to pay attention to hygiene and other things, and let him leave.
After Niu Zhu left, Qu Tuquan put down the mold at hand and said:
"I'm not afraid of Brother Fei'er's jokes, you should also know that my ancestors are from the Xi clan, and there are still clansmen outside the gate. In fact, after my father voted for His Majesty, my people also moved here one after another, and now they have gathered into a Zhuangzi in Chang'an City.
However, Chang'an City is not easy to live in. Nearby Zhuangzi is also struggling to survive! My people used to hunt for a living, but now they can only farm. In the past two years, it has been difficult to feed the tribesmen in farming, and many children have died of illness after birth! Therefore, I want to beg Fei Ge'er to show my people a way to live! ”
Li Fei smiled, he pointed to the mold, and said:
"It's here!"
Qu Tuquan looked at the mold, but he still didn't understand what it was.
Li Fei knew that if he didn't let Qu Tuquan see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't understand.
The good thing is that the materials are ready.
A lot of coal has been brought back, piled up in the corner.
In fact, Li Fei has already done experiments. However, in Qu Tuquan's case, it is obvious that he has to do it again.
Li Fei went directly to the corner of the yard, mixed a bunch of coal noodles that had been added with water, pinched it with his hands, looked at the dryness and wetness, and then grabbed a large ball, stuffed it into the mold, and then squeezed it.
After isobaric forming, the mold is inverted and the primary honeycomb coal inside is gently poured out.
Luckily, it didn't crack!
Afterwards, Li Fei took out a stove from the house that was specially made to burn honeycomb coal, which was made by the blacksmith of Toma the first day. Now a piece of honeycomb coal inside is almost burned out.
Li Fei took a piece of honeycomb coal from the corner of the wall that had dried out, put it in, and after a while, it was ignited.
Then Li Fei closed the lid of the stove.
Qu Tuquan stretched out his hand and touched it, and said with some doubts:
"It's not very hot! Now there is a charcoal stove! ”
Li Fei asked rhetorically:
"How much is charcoal a pound?"
Qu Tuquan naturally didn't know, and Li Fei didn't expect him to answer, he said:
"It ranges from 10 to 50 wen per catty, and no matter how advanced it is, let's not mention it. But do you know how much this coal face costs a pound? ”
Qu Tuquan naturally didn't know, but he still tentatively guessed:
"Wuwen?"
"Wuwen?" Li Fei sneered: "Five Wen and ten catties!" ”
Qu Tuquan gasped, even if he is a fool, he knows the profits!
