At the entrance of the Xishan Coal Store, more and more people gathered, and Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang also happened to come over, standing quietly aside, watching silently.

"Is this coal stove durable?"

Someone picked up a honeycomb coal stove and looked at it carefully, and seemed to be quite excited.

"Why isn't it durable, don't you see that this outside is all wrapped in iron sheets?"

"There is no problem in keeping it for you to buy one for ten or eight years, and it occupies a small area, and you can save money on the stove; In terms of movement, you can put it down anywhere. ”

"To be honest, we didn't make a penny from this coal stove."

The shopkeeper was not happy when he heard this, so he quickly picked up a coal stove and knocked the iron sheet on it hard.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded one after another, in the era of salt and iron monopoly, the price of this iron has always been not cheap, and the coal stove made of iron sheets, can the quality be poor?

"It's cheap, it's cheap, is this honeycomb coal really as good as you say?"

Someone spoke up again.

"Of course it's easy to use, it's very convenient, come, I'll show you in person, you can understand it at a glance."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded again and again, and then began to demonstrate in person as Liu Jin had taught them when he first taught them.

"For the first time, we need to burn this honeycomb coal red, and burn one or two pieces."

"Then put this red-hot honeycomb coal at the bottom, and then add the coal lump on top."

"When we want to use fire, we open the lid of this small opening, and we can fan the air inside, so that the honeycomb coal in the stove can be burned quickly."

"This honeycomb coal, very resistant to burning, after it burns white, this means that the honeycomb coal inside will be burned clean, we will take out the bottom honeycomb coal, and then put it back layer by layer, and add new honeycomb coal on the top."

There is a well-looking scholar Liu Jin in the shop, and he is explaining while demonstrating, which is very simple, and the people around him will naturally see it at a glance, and there is no difficulty at all.

"Another advantage of the honeycomb coal furnace in our Xishan Coal Industry is that if we don't need to use fire, we can cover the small opening here, so that the honeycomb coal inside will soon be slowly extinguished, and only a little bit is burning."

"When we need it, we open the lid and fan the wind, and soon it burns again, so that we don't have to relight the fire every time we use it, which is very convenient."

The shopkeeper is also demonstrating while not forgetting to constantly sell and boast.

"It's really good, if nothing else, it's rare to be able to catch fire quickly."

Some people can't help but nod their heads after reading it, making a fire is very simple in later generations, but in ancient times, it was definitely not an easy thing.

If there is no fire fold, it will be difficult to make a fire, especially in rainy days, when the purchased firewood is wet and damp, it is even more difficult to make a fire.

The price of this fire fold is not cheap, and many times ordinary people are reluctant to buy fire folds, so cooking, boiling water, and heating have not been very convenient.

"It's really not bad, Xiao Er, do you really get five honeycomb coals when you buy a coal stove today?"

Someone nodded and began to discuss with the shopkeeper.

"Of course, this activity of buying coal stoves and sending honeycomb coal is only available today, so we need to hurry up."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

"Boss, bring me a single-core coal stove and 5 honeycomb coals."

Someone immediately started to pay for it, ready to buy it back and give it a try.

"Okay~"

Finally opened the account, and the shopkeeper also shouted happily: "One single-core coal stove, 5 honeycomb coal, counting the 5 gifts, a total of 10 honeycomb coal, always 60 Wen~"

"Give me a three-core coal stove and 20 honeycomb coals, so that you don't need to buy firewood in the future, and you can also save a lot of expenses."

Someone started, and someone immediately spoke.

"I'll also have a three-core coal stove, 20 honeycomb coal~"

"I also want a single-core coal stove and 5 honeycomb coal~"

When the others saw it, they immediately began to shout one by one, scrambling for fear that if they missed it, they would not be able to take advantage.

"Don't worry, don't worry, our store has sufficient supply, everyone line up, everyone has ~"

When the shopkeeper saw this posture, he also hurriedly said.

As the words of the shopkeeper fell, the people around slowly lined up, and at the same time, more people came to consult, and after the consultation, there were more people in line, and a long queue was soon formed.

"You find someone to buy some back, I want to see if it really works."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at this scene, thought for a while, and commanded Xiao Jing beside him.

"Yes~"

Xiao Jing replied respectfully, and then gave an order to one of the guards beside him, and soon the guards also went to line up.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Here, Emperor Hongzhi also came to Changlong's side, and when he saw an old man with gray hair, he also asked gently.

The old man looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and then looked at the few people around Emperor Hongzhi, knowing that the person in front of him was either rich or expensive, and he didn't dare to slack off, and said respectfully: "If you go back to your nobles, we are buying honeycomb coal." ”

"What's so special about this honeycomb coal that it's worth waiting in a long queue?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and asked again.

"What's special, I don't know very well, I just know, this honeycomb coal is cheap, the nobles may not know, this charcoal, it has risen to almost 600 Wen, even with this firewood is also rising in price, we little people really can't bear it."

The old man said very sincerely, for them, the people at the bottom, cheap and practical are the best.

"If this honeycomb coal is really good, we will have a better winter, otherwise we don't know how many people will freeze to death."

"Uncle, someone around you is freezing to death?"

Although Emperor Hongzhi already knew that there were freezing to death every day in the capital, he still pretended to be surprised and said.

"How can there be no one who does not freeze to death in this winter, some people inevitably freeze to death every year, just yesterday, my next-door neighbor and my one-year-old Li Tou froze to death. This firewood and charcoal are too expensive, the colder the weather, the more expensive it is, we little people's, winter is the hardest, buy firewood for heating and have no money to buy food, buy grain and have no money to buy firewood and charcoal for heating. ”

"It's hard these days~"

"I hope that if the honeycomb coal from Xishan Coal Industry is really as good as they say, this winter will be better."

The old man saw that Emperor Hongzhi, a nobleman, was willing to listen to himself, and he was also very talkative, and he talked about it, and the hardships of the life of the people at the bottom were also shown in front of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others.
