Chapter 32: The Coal Boss
Chapter 32 Coal Boss
Out of the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Shen stretched out his hand and slapped his face fiercely, he really had nothing to do, what was he talking about, it seemed that his mouth was really well disciplined, don't spit out ivory in the dog's mouth all day long, looked at the eyes of the guards around him, and glared at them fiercely.
Seeing that all of them lowered their heads with aggrieved faces, Li Shen snorted coldly and ran down the steps quickly, embarrassed~~
The coal mine is not very far from Chang'an, it takes more than two hours from the palace, and it is still a little far from the Weishui River.
Li Shen looked at the exposed coal mine, with a slight smile on his face, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance, so he didn't know how much coal was buried underground.
"Your Highness, what are you doing looking at the black stuff? It's not easy to wash on top of clothes. Da Xiong looked at Li Shen who was squatting on the ground and asked.
Li Shen glanced at Da Xiong and said, "You know something, this thing is good, even gold can't be exchanged." ”
The surface of the ground has been burned, leaving traces of then passing, which should be the place where His Majesty Li Er said that the battlefield burned back then, after so many years, the wind and sun, and the rain washed away a layer of burning dust on the surface.
"Go and ask them to dig up a few baskets and bring them back." Li Shen stood up, clapped his hands and said lightly.
Big Bear nodded.
How to make briquettes is not a difficult thing for Li Shen at all, including the tools for making briquettes, it is so simple, even the stove is a piece of cake for him, who has not used this thing, it is the insulation material in the stove, there is really no way.
At noon the next day, more than a dozen briquettes were placed on the ground, and a brand-new stove also appeared in front of Li Shen.
Hou Peipei opened the dirty Li Shen, pouted, and said, "Can you say it now?" ”
Li Shen turned around and glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Go and get a fire fold and get a little more oil." ”
The oil dripped on the firewood that was split into a small section, grabbed some weeds and lit it in the stove, put the small firewood in, looked at the burning firewood, picked up the tongs and clamped a briquette and put it in, turned around, looked at the beauties around him, and said: "The stove is specially used for cooking and boiling water, suitable for small families, even if it is at night, you can drink hot water, it is also convenient to use, and you can continue to use the fire fold." How's that a good thing, right? ”
"Is it as magically convenient as you say? Can such a big fire make a good meal? Hou Peipei said a little unapologetically.
"I can't tell you idiot, you'll find out later." Li Shen glared at Hou Peipei and said to He Yuan: "Go and bring all the dishes, and cook a delicious meal for your husband today." ”
The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the refined lard in the pot also makes a "stinging" sound.
Li Shen glanced at the people around him who were a little shocked, and smiled proudly, in fact, sometimes he was really proud, and many things were turned into products of reality from his hands one by one, and said, "How is it?" Isn't it very convenient to use, it's much better than using firewood, and it can also adjust the size of the fire, even if the ventilation port below is sealed, it will not only not extinguish, but also ......"
"Xianggong, how long will this seal not go out?" Su Haitang asked.
"Well, I guess it won't go out in five or six hours." Li Shen said with some uncertainty, who stared at this calculation time, in the past, it was to change a briquette and put it in at night, and then return a piece when he got up the next morning, as for whether the burning was not finished, and what the burning would be, who could know, and then said: "This thing is a good thing, put a household of hot water, you don't need to boil hot water in the morning, you can directly use it to wash your face and drink water." ”
"According to what His Highness said, this thing is really convenient, especially in the homes of ordinary people." He Yuan said with a smile.
Li Shen nodded and said: "Yes, for the people's families, it is indeed very convenient to have this, at least it can save a lot of things, the most important thing is that this thing burns without smoke, it is much better than firewood, you all know that when it comes to cooking in Chang'an City, this smoke smell can be smelled even if you stay in the palace." ”
"Xianggong, do you mean to promote this thing and let the people use it?" Su Haitang asked, and then said: "You can consider this price, don't make it unaffordable for the people." ”
"Of course I can, otherwise I'll do something with this thing, but it should be a little more expensive than firewood, but it's not much." Li Shen replied.
"I'm afraid this people can't afford to pay such a price." Su Haitang shook his head and said.
"How do you know you can't take it? What if the court decrees it? The key depends on how to publicize, if the publicity is good, the awareness of the people will not dislike its slightly more expensive price, and you have to remember that this thing is more convenient to use than firewood, and it is not easy to cause fires, and besides, I did not force the people to use it, that is, the people in the city must use it. Li Shen explained slowly.
"Brother, what are you doing? Why is it so fragrant? Li Chongyi took Li Xiang's little hand, slowly swayed over, stretched out his hand to follow Li Jingheng, the kid, looked at Li Shen with a strange thing in front of him, and a pot on it, and then asked, "What is this?" ”
"Daddy, what are you doing?" Li Xiang asked.
"Cook." Li Shen replied, facing Li Chongyi, and said, "What are you kid doing here?" ”
"Hehe, mix some food, these days I'm a little hungry, and the food in the canteen is getting worse and worse day by day, and it's hard to eat." Li Chongyi replied with a smile.
Li Shen smiled and asked, "It's better than the food you ate before, your mouth is really getting bigger and bigger now." ”
"It was before, it is now, how can it be compared with before?" Li Chongyi said with a shameless smile, and said to Su Haitang who was standing behind Li Shen: "I've seen all sisters-in-law." ”
"Jing Heng has seen all sisters-in-law."
Su Haitang said with a smile: "Come in, the meals are almost ready." ”
Seeing Li Shen put the food up, Li Chongyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the plate and said, "I'll come, I'll come." Before leaving, he glanced at the stove slightly, and a glimmer of light crossed his eyes.
