Chapter 367: Charcoal

"Hangai, what's wrong?"

Su Yang was also a little speechless, Hang Gai, as the first warrior of Sanmiao, is tall and big, nearly two meters tall, and he is also the first height he has seen so far. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's because he lacks so much talent, so he wasn't chosen as a wizard, and in the end he was cheaper.

"Stones, a lot of stones you want."

"Where?" Su Yang was immediately overjoyed, and he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and ran towards the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Hang Gai led people to find a hidden hole, equivalent to a cellar, which can only be drilled down by one person, and the space inside is not large, but it can't cover more stones, and there are three kinds of ores he wants, and at a cursory glance, it can fill seven or eight baskets, and it is developed.

There are also some gemstones, or copper ore from this mountain.

If unexpectedly, this should be the place where the Xiyi people stored their gems, but I didn't expect that there were still fish that slipped through the net.

But if you think about it carefully, when he robbed and killed the Xiyi people, he found the red copper ore, and when he destroyed the Xiyi, he didn't find any ore from the materials, so he was unstable and didn't think about it so much.

"Well done." He praised Hang Gai fiercely, it is really easy to gain from another kind of thinking, so many people have not found out, Hang Gai found it so quickly, which is directly related to the living environment.

The discovery of so many ores at one time, many of which are natural copper, can hold at least half of the basket, I don't know how many years of inventory, it seems that the Xiyi people have exhausted their character.

Suddenly thought of the Xia tribe, that is, the savage tribe, where there is a lot of dogs' heads and gold, could it be that because of the exhaustion of character, the inheritance of the old witch was broken?

After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that I am afraid that only the fate of the Son of Heaven can withstand the continuous consumption of good luck.

For example, the harvest of both tribes finally reached him, and God helped me.

Since there was such a big harvest, it was not difficult to immediately change the strategy and let the clansmen find all the colored stones and stack them separately.

With so many raw materials, he decided to go on a wave and get the first batch of bronzes early to gain experience.

Immediately sent out Chun with fifty people, to the place where the Xiong clan was mobilizing a hundred people to find limestone, and brought a batch of stones back, which was a bit of a labor and money, but there was no way, limestone is a solvent, and it is necessary to smelt malachite, red copper, and brass stone.

By the way, he also brought the dog's head Jin Quan who was placed in Youxiong's family, and he wanted to make some gold objects.

And he also set out to build a stove, because of the weather and the demand for clay pots, it is better to build a pottery kiln first, and make a small one.

Clay has become a good binder, and it is the third time that I have built up a stone to make this kind of kiln, and I have experience and know how to discharge the flue. In addition, he learned from the experience of the previous two times, and this time simplified the fire vent to the entrance.

That is, after putting the clay pot inside, seal the door with stones, and build a fire passage. Solving the problem of high and low in this way looks more like a bunker.

When the limestone is brought back, he also wants to burn a batch of lime first, because lime mixed with sand is the best binder, which is used to build a furnace for smelting copper ore, which can better isolate the temperature, is more stable, and also accumulates experience.

Lime can be used for many purposes, and sometimes it can also be used as a medicine.

And so the plan went on, going hand in hand, while he tried to burn a lot of charcoal. The charcoal used in the past is basically left over from the usual time, such as after cooking, there is no need to catch fire for the time being, but the fire is still burning, so it can't be wasted, after all, it is not easy to find firewood.

At this time, the flaming charcoal can be dug out, buried in soil, or doused with water. Later, it was simpler, and it was put directly into a broken clay pot to turn off the fire.

It's just that now it needs to be used in large quantities, which is obviously not enough, and he is trying to find a way to burn charcoal. When I first read a book, there was a text about how hard it was for a charcoal seller, but now he is worried about burning charcoal, and he can't burn it, so how to sell it.

Fortunately, the principle is simple, first of all, the wood is not easy to ignite, you need to use flammable materials such as hay to ignite the fire, and when the wooden stick is burned and carbonized, the flame will gradually become smaller, and then it will continue to maintain fire until it turns into ashes.

To get charcoal, it is necessary to extinguish the fire when the fire becomes smaller, and it is charcoal after cooling, and it is best not to use foreign objects to extinguish it, such as pouring it with water, which is not good to control the fire, it is likely that the charcoal has not been carbonized in the middle, and then there is a process of drying, which is too troublesome.

The simplest is the lack of oxygen, and the burning wooden sticks will naturally go out if they can't come into contact with new air, and will be accompanied by the carbonization of waste heat.

Anyone who has ever burned firewood knows that if it is a stir-fry, it is best not to use a big wooden stick, it will make people crazy, the waiting time is long, and the fire is not dripping. However, if it is a stew or a roast, and you need continuous firepower, a wooden stick is an excellent choice, without it, saving time and effort, and also saving firewood.

As for the choice of charcoal for barbecue, it is because there is no open flame, and it can continue to fire, and at the same time, there is not so much smoke, flammability, and less toxicity.

Charcoal is used for smelting, which is equivalent to anthracite. After thinking about this, his plan to burn charcoal was implemented, but he still needed to experiment before that.

For this reason, he was delayed for a long time, and in the evening he came back from the pheasant hunting, and asked what the pheasant had to do with charcoal, but in fact there was.

How did the famous dish called flower chicken come about, charcoal can be burned like that.

An hour later, with a snap, an oval-shaped crust was smashed open, and the smell of chicken suddenly penetrated into the nostrils, which would have been better if it had not been accompanied by a faint smell of.

This is a failed product, I didn't get it right, he still pulled a chicken leg and tried it, it's okay, isn't it an original ecology to eat in the primitive period.

But judging from the fact that he took two bites and let the rest of the people share the food, it seems that he is still a picky eater, the chicken is indeed beautiful, and the is really super smelly, the combination of the two is called flower chicken.

There must have been something wrong in the process, he obviously removed the internal organs, but he didn't pluck the feathers, could it be that the chicken feathers were stained with some on it?

No matter what, this famous dish should be left to the beggars to study, he can't challenge it.

Collect some sticks of wood with a little extra weight, pile them up according to the triangular principle, put some igniters inside, and then smear the thin mud diluted with water on the outside, making a super large nest head shape.

Then a few small holes were dug out at the bottom to serve as stoves, and a hole was left at the top for use as a chimney.

In this way, an air circulation was formed, and he asked people to light a fire in the small hole below, and when it was ignited, he quickly added some thin mud when he saw smoke in other places.

"Whoa!" The large mud dimples burn up from the inside, and it will be a long process.

He judged the time by the open flame and the smoke, and when the open flame began to get smaller and the smoke on the top became lighter and less colored, he began to gradually seal the hole, and finally sealed all the underneath, even the top of it.

If nothing else, after cooling, knock it out is called flower chicken, no, it's good charcoal! (To be continued.) )
