Chapter 0004: Briquettes

"Your Highness, the meal is ready, do you want to drink something to warm up first. "Seeing Zhao Shuo coming back, Yan Wu brought a bowl www.biquge.info of hot soup over.

Seeing the so-called hot soup with a few vegetable leaves floating in the bowl of clear water, Zhao Shuo stretched out his hands and took it.

After taking a sip, the soup poured into his throat after turning around the tip of his tongue. There is no taste of salt, no taste of MSG, and some are just an indescribable bitterness. Zhao Shuo frowned, suppressing the urge to vomit.

"Your Highness, if you can't drink it, put it down. The old slave is trying to figure out a way. Looking at Zhao Shuo's frowning expression, Gonggong Feng said in a low voice.

Knock knock knock......

On the morning of February, the hot soup quickly cooled down, Zhao Shuo raised his head and drank a bowl of soup. He told himself in his heart that from now on, he would never drink this kind of soup again.

"What about Wang Long and Li Zhong?"

These two were Zhao Shuo's two thin guards, the last two of the five people Zhao Shuo saw when he woke up yesterday.

In the early morning, there was a quarrel outside the door, and it stands to reason that people who slept to death should also wake up. But now the two guards are nowhere to be seen. Zhao Shuo couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Yesterday, when His Highness woke up, they were happy, saying that they wanted to get His Highness some delicious supplements, and they went out at night, and they haven't come back until now." Fluttershy pulls the broken quilt off Zhao Shuo's shoulder and speaks.

"Your Highness, don't worry, they will be fine, and they should come back later." Grandpa Feng glared at Fluttershy, then said to Zhao Shuo.

"Father-in-law Feng, go and get them back, I have something to say." Father-in-law Feng's small movements naturally failed to escape Zhao Shuo's eyes.

Now Zhao Shuo is in a hurry to realize his plan, and he needs manpower very much, how can he let his two guards 'shake around' outside.

"Yes, the old slave will go to them." Gonggong Feng bowed, and then trotted out of the gate.

From Zhao Shuo's promise to Zhang Laohan to hand over five coins of silver three days later, to Zhao Shuo's talking to him in such an ordered tone, all of this shocked his father-in-law, who had been with Zhao Shuo for more than ten years.

In the past, Zhao Shuo was cowardly, he didn't take an idea, he didn't have a fiery nature, and he didn't have a temper. It's exactly that kind of soft persimmon. Plus it's an illegitimate child and has no status. In the palace, although everyone is quite respectful on the surface, in private, no one really regards him as a prince, and even some subordinates will arrange some sarcastic words about him in private.

These words will naturally reach Zhao Shuo's ears, and the ordinary prince, of course, is furious, and then clean up these subordinates. But Zhao Shuo was like no one, as if these words had nothing to do with him at all.

To be a prince to be able to do this, it is really unprecedented and unprecedented.

However, today's Zhao Shuo impressed Gonggong Feng. Although I don't know why Zhao Shuo said those words, Gonggong Feng is a lot more down-to-earth in his heart.

He was even secretly glad in his heart, constantly thanking those hateful gold thieves. He felt that without them, Zhao Shuo would not have left Tokyo Bianliang, and without them, Zhao Shuo would not have been injured, and if he would not have been injured, there would be no current Zhao Shuo.

I don't know why, the current Gonggong Feng feels that Zhao Shuo is finally like a prince.

"Where's the shovel at home?" After Grandpa Feng leaves, Zhao Shuo asks as he hands the soup bowl to Fluttershy.

"Your Highness, what are you looking for a shovel for? Even if there is anything, you have to finish your meal first. Yan Wu said a little anxiously.

"No, I'm full." Glancing at the soup, Zhao Shuo hurriedly turned his head to avoid any further reaction in his stomach.

"Your Highness, what are you looking for this thing for?" After putting down the soup bowl, Fluttershy walks over with a shovel out of nowhere, looking at Zhao Shuo with a puzzled expression. Xindao, what's wrong with our Highness, how can I feel different from before after waking up.

took the shovel and paddled it, his arm immediately became sore, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but shake his head again and again, this is the body of His Royal Highness the Prince, why did it become like this.

Walking in front of the pile of coal-soil mixture on the edge of the kitchen, Zhao Shuo shoveled a few times with a shovel, but as a result, relying on his strength, he couldn't shovel at all.

"Your Highness, these things are useless anymore, and they can't be lit." Fluttershy runs over and snatches the shovel from Zhao Shuo's hand.

Fluttershy still remembers the events of the night, and she thinks that Zhao Shuo is afraid of freezing and wants to rely on the coal-soil mixture for warmth. I have to say that the little girl is still very smart.

"Huhu......" Zhao Shuo took a few breaths and pointed to the coal-soil mixture on the ground. Fluttershy, I have a way to make them burn. ”

When Yan Wu and Fluttershy were stunned, not knowing what Zhao Shuo was going to do, Grandpa Feng pulled Wang Long and Li Zhong and ran back breathlessly.

"Your Highness, the old slave, the old slave has found them all, if you have anything to say, just say it." After Gonggong Feng entered the door, he no longer cared about etiquette and sat on the ground.

Zhao Shuo rubbed his hands and looked at Wang Long and Li Zhong. "Well, I want you to do something for me, do you still have the strength?"

Although Wang Long and Li Zhong didn't know what Zhao Shuo was going to arrange for them to do, they immediately knelt on the ground and saluted. "But according to His Royal Highness's orders, I will go to Tang Taohuo, and I will not give up."

"Hurry up, it's not that serious." Zhao Shuo waved his hand and led them to the pile of coal-soil mixture, then handed Fluttershy's shovel to Wang Lung. "I said you do."

According to Zhao Shuo's request, Zhang Long and Li Zhong alternately shoveled the coal-soil mixture to the middle of the courtyard. The coal-clay forms the shape of a volcanic crater, towering on all sides and concave in the middle. Yan Wu poured the prepared warm water on the hollow, while Wang Long and Li Zhong kept stirring.

When Zhao Shuo saw that he was almost done, he walked to Gonggong Feng, who looked curious next to him. "Father-in-law Feng, I want to create two objects......"

Then Zhao Shuo drew the drawings of the simple stove and the simple handmade honeycomb coal tools he knew on the palm of Feng Gonggong's hand. Then, Zhao Shuo asked. "How's that, can you make it?"

Feng Gonggong thought about it for a while, racked his brains, and found that he had lived for so long, and he didn't know what it was.

"These two things, I need them urgently." Zhao Shuo spoke again.

"Okay, since His Highness has an urgent need, the old slave will definitely do it." Gonggong Feng seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then got up and left the courtyard.

Zhao Shuo knew that Gonggong Feng's trip was not easy, because they had no money.

The slime (coal-soil mixture) in the middle of the yard has been turned over and over again by Wang Long and Li Zhong. When the sun was already a little westward, the gate of the courtyard was finally pushed open, and Gonggong Feng walked in with two strange things on his face.

"Your Highness, the old slave is back, take a look, these two objects are right."

Zhao Shuo nodded, his eyes were a little moist, although he didn't see it, he could also think of what the Feng Gong Guild had experienced in this day.

"Gonggong Feng, what you were tortured today will be able to vent tomorrow." Zhao Shuo patted Gonggong Feng's shoulder, and then took the object in his hand.

Putting the stove aside, he walked to the pile of slime in the middle of the yard with the improvised tools for making honeycomb coal.

Under the gaze of all the people, Zhao Shuo made the first piece of honeycomb coal of the Great Song Dynasty.

When this black thing appeared in front of everyone, everyone couldn't understand what Zhao Shuo was doing with this thing.

"Your Highness, what's the use of this thing?" Fluttershy asks.

All the eyes of people gathered, and they all wanted to know, what can Zhao Shuo do with this thing?

Zhao Shuo said with a smile. "It's called a briquette, and it can be lit."

Then Zhao Shuo told everyone how to use the stove, and then returned to the house, waited for the briquettes to dry, and then warmed up.

"Your Highness, you are really a god, that briquette can really ignite."

In his daze, Zhao Shuo hears Fluttershy's exclamation, and when he looks up, the room is already dark.

"It seems that although I am still starving today, I don't have to freeze anymore."

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Shuo's mouth, and then he covered the quilt without cotton wool on his body, and fell asleep beautifully.
