Chapter 133: Coal
Chen Fei and Li Jing's solidity was completely taken from a beautiful misunderstanding, if you have to talk about it in detail, you should start with the lie that Gao Yang and Linchuan said in the forest garden of Yongle Village a few months ago.
Cheng Yanjin wanted to gossip about the bad relationship between Chen Fei and Li Jing, so Chen Fei naturally started from scratch again, and seemed to have to talk to Cheng Yanjin about the story.
Compared with what he said before, Chen Fei said the details more perfectly, and added some content, such as Chen Fei did not recognize Li Jing as an uncle, Li Jing was going to send someone to whip him, and so on.
said that he was a loyal cadre who was completely threatened, and he was forced to make a choice, and his expression was extremely miserable.
After finishing speaking, Chen Fei licked his dry lips and looked at Cheng Biting Jin with blank eyes, but he didn't react at all, and calmly drank and ate.
Chen Fei complained in his heart, did not speak, and the atmosphere gradually fell silent
Cheng bites the gold tube and drinks by himself, and Cheng Chumo is like a quail in front of his father, only responsible for honestly bowing his head and eating food without saying a word.
Chen Fei seemed to be able to adapt to the Cheng family's meals, picking up chopsticks and taking small bites to eat the dishes.
Compared with the two fathers and sons of the Cheng family, he simply didn't want it.
After eating for a while, Chen Fei finally couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and broke the silence.
He came to Cheng's Mansion today, and he had other things to talk about besides introducing products to Cheng Yanjin, and it was a waste of his money to just eat and not talk about it.
"Uncle Cheng, there are a few things that came to me today......"
"Hmm." Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture to interrupt Chen Fei's words.
"Let the old man think about it, it's probably for papermaking, right? You can rest assured, the old man has already looked for you, there is a paper mill in the east of the city, but the quality of the paper is not very good, and it is about to be unable to open, and the old man will send someone to bring the paper mill over. ”
Chen Fei was overjoyed in his heart and thanked Cheng Yanjin.
"In this way, thank you Uncle Cheng, the money from the paper mill will be deducted from the money stored in the house."
"Money in the house? Yes? Cheng bit the gold buckle and buckle the ear, pretending to be deaf and stupid.
Chen Fei's face turned green as soon as he "brushed", and even his tone became trembling.
"Cheng... Uncle Cheng is making trouble, and there are more than 6,000 taels of silver cakes in the kid......"
Cheng Yanjin couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Fei's deflated appearance.
"The old man is joking with you, the kid is actually serious, tsk, I really can't stand the joke."
Cheng Yanjin had a "you are very fragile" expression.
Chen Fei......
Bastard, can you make this kind of joke casually? Do you know it's going to scare people to death?
"Actually, the kid came here today for more than one thing, and the kid also wanted to ask Uncle Cheng to inquire about where there is a kiln."
"Kiln? What do you want to know about this? ”
Alas, telling Cheng Biting Jin is equivalent to giving away half of the profits!
Chen Fei struggled for a moment, but still planned to make everything clear.
After all, with Cheng Bitingjin's signboard, others don't dare to think anything wrong about him even if they are red-eyed.
Although the profit is small, the trouble is relatively gone!
In contrast, Chen Fei prefers less trouble, he has no background, and can only rely on the big tree of Cheng Biting Jin, so it is still a very cost-effective thing to resist all the troubles with half of the profits.
"The kid has a lot of plans recently, Uncle Cheng might as well listen to me?"
Cheng Yanjin pointed at Chen Fei and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really a slippery head, there are a lot of flowers and intestines in your stomach, and now I am more and more curious about whether you came up with that military exercise!" ”
"No, it has nothing to do with me!" Chen Fei shook his head into a rattle and hurriedly cleared up the relationship.
"Uncle Cheng, actually, I want to burn the kiln because I want to make glass... It's Liuli, and ah, we should set up a team to dig coal, and the kid knows that there are several places where coal mines are abundant......"
"Wait!" Cheng Biting Jin shouted, so frightened that the chicken leg in Cheng Chumo's mouth fell to the ground with a "snap".
"What do you say? Making glass? Boy, this thing isn't that easy to do, can you really do it? ”
Chen Fei nodded firmly: "It can be done, and the output is quite high!" ”
Cheng bit Jin "poof" and stood up from his position, standing in place and pacing around excitedly, feeling like being hit by a windfall falling from the sky, and it took a while to calm down.
"The old man asks you again, can you really have a way to forge glass?"
Chen Fei smiled bitterly, they have cooperated so many times, why does Cheng Yanjin still refuse to believe him?
"Yes, boy confirmed. Since Uncle Cheng doesn't believe it very much, it is better to give me a kiln, so that I can make a finished product and say that it is not too late, but there is one item needed to make glass, that is, coal mine, if there is coal, the calcination temperature will be much higher, which is convenient for making more exquisite glass. ”
"Coal? What is this? The old man didn't seem to have heard of it. Cheng Bites Jin scratches his head, as if he is thinking about whether there is such an item as 'coal' in his world.
Chen Fei was stunned: Isn't it? Coal mining has been around for a long time, why hasn't Cheng Yanjin heard of it? It's not scientific.
"Coal is the kind of black, piece by piece, not as hard as stone, but it can be lit with fire and burn for a long time, which kind of Uncle Cheng has not heard of?"
Cheng Yanjin scratched his head and recalled for a while, and said uncertainly: "Boy, the thing you said can't be charcoal, right?" ”
Carboniferous? Chen Fei quickly recalled it in his mind.
The term coal seems to have been put forward by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, and before that, coal seems to have been called coal......
"Yes, yes, yes! It's the coals! Does Uncle Cheng have the manpower to mine coal? That's a good thing! ”
Cheng Yanjin shook his head: "My old Cheng family doesn't mine coal, this thing is not easy to find, and it doesn't seem to be very useful, what should I do with that effort?" ”
it! Not much of a role? Are you kidding? Coal is an important energy resource! Especially in the early stage of industrial society, when electricity was not invented, it was almost coal that held up the sky!
So there is a generation gap with people of this generation!
Chen Fei couldn't wait to go up and pinch Cheng Biting Jin's neck at this moment, and give him a good lesson in coal cognition.
"Uncle Cheng, please also quickly form a coal mining team, the kid can guarantee that coal is a very important thing, with this thing, we will definitely make a fortune!"
"Is what the kid said true? Is coal really that valuable? ”
Chen Fei nodded firmly: "Yes, it's very valuable!" Iron smelting, kiln firing, almost all use coal. ”
"You say you can also use coal for iron smelting?" Cheng Yanjin's eyes brightened instantly, the iron production in this era is not high, the most important reason is that the iron smelting is burned with tree branches, the temperature is not high, and the cloth forged by iron is pure, if the coal is really as good as Chen Fei said......
Cheng Biting Jin's heart twitched fiercely, if it was true, he was going to make a fortune!
Chen Fei immediately understood that everyone's cognition of coal was still in a hazy stage at this time, and they didn't know the importance of this thing.
As the first person to eat crabs, God really gave him a chance to make a fortune!
"Yes! Coal is a very important raw material for iron smelting and heating, and the boy dares to guarantee that if coal is used in iron smelting, my Datang's iron tools will make qualitative progress! ”
Cheng Biting Jin was like being given a heart booster, and even Cheng Chumo's eyes burst into a ball of essence.
"In this case, leave this matter to the old man, and the old man will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible."
Cheng Yanjin patted his chest and agreed. Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin remembered a very crucial thing.
"No, we don't know where the coal is!"
