"Wife, it's getting colder and colder now, is the firewood ready?" Liu Gou'er shouted to his wife.

"I've been ready for a long time, you already have a lot of wood, and not long ago, I bought a lot from the woodcutter, enough for the winter!" Liu Gou'er's wife said.

But at this time, a person came over and shouted, "Liu Gou'er, you come with me." ”

"Chief? Is there something wrong? Liu Gou'er asked.

Liu Gou'er was dragged to the center of the township by the security chief, and then saw that some people here were handing out some black things. And these black things are in the shape of a cylinder, and there are small holes in the middle, and no one knows what this thing is.

"Folks, the new Chen County Commander has come to distribute special charcoal to everyone this time, which can be used for roasting fires and can also be used as fuel for cooking, so you can use it. Each household receives three pieces of this coal, which is called honeycomb coal. This is distributed by Chen County's order to everyone, in order to make everyone's cold winter feel warm. Xiang Zheng said.

And these people who came to receive this honeycomb coal were also excited, because the official mansion represented by Chen Fei was really a charcoal in the snow! Although three pieces of honeycomb coal is not too much, it is also a piece of the government's heart. Since ancient times, how many people have been able to distribute charcoal to the people in winter? In most dynasties, the emperor also gave some charcoal to those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, representing the emperor's concern for his courtiers. Although there is no shortage of these charcoal dignitaries and dignitaries, the symbolic meaning is far greater than the practical meaning, but they also show concern. However, ordinary people, the government almost did not distribute charcoal. Because although it does not cost much to distribute charcoal to a single household, once charcoal is distributed to the whole country, the cost is unparalleled. Therefore, this kind of thing of giving charcoal to ordinary people can only be enjoyed in a very few dynasties, or only in the capital, as for those other people. It's hard to enjoy it.

Now Chen Fei is giving everyone the so-called charcoal in the snow, which makes the people feel very good about Chen Fei. Many times the people do not care about how good the government is, and it is often seen from those things in daily life. Although the value of sending charcoal in the snow is not high, it also means that the government cares about the people, which makes their hearts warm. As for some people who say that this is a "small favor and a small favor", then this is also a matter of the benevolent and the wise and the wise. Anyway, the vast majority of the people will be bought by this kind of "small favor", after all, there will always be a minority of wise people in this world.

"Daddy, what is this?" Liu Gou'er's wife asked.

"Everyone, come here, this is the county's distribution of honeycomb coal. It's for us to cook and keep warm. And there is also a coal stove sent above, which is dedicated to burning this honeycomb coal! Let's try it later, and use this honeycomb coal to cook! Liu Gou'er said.

Liu Gouer put three pieces of honeycomb coal in the coal stove, then used a piece of wood to start a fire, and then slowly ignited the honeycomb coal. He then put the steamer on top of the coal stove and began to cook. In this era, there was no art of stir-frying, and the vast majority of ordinary people also put some vegetables in water, put salt and stewed them indiscriminately. A steamer is placed on the pot, and when it is simmering, it is just the hot steam that steames the steamed bread on top of it, which is called "steamed cake". In this way, after the vegetables are stewed, the steamed buns are basically cooked. This is a common tool used by ordinary people, and it can save fuel through the experience learned in daily life.

"It's so warm!" Liu Gou'er's wife said.

"Yes! It's really warm, and I'm still cooking food. And these calories are enough for us to keep warm, and honeycomb coal is really a good thing! Liu Gou'er also said.

Liu Gou'er finally knew that this honeycomb coal was a good thing, and the boiling water boiled at once, which took more than half of the time compared to firewood. This is because honeycomb coal stoves can better concentrate the heat to the bottom of the pot. Don't let the excess heat spread out too much. And it is obviously difficult to do this with a wood stove, and a lot of heat is wasted. In addition, the calorific value of honeycomb coal is much higher than that of firewood, so it feels very warm while cooking on one side.

"Wife. You remember, the people in the county said that this honeycomb coal is a little poisonous, and we can't seal the room every time we heat and cook, and we must leave some empty space. If these small poisons are allowed to accumulate in the room, it will also be very dangerous. Liu Gou'er said immediately.

"Okay! Aren't we always leaving the windows open now? In the past, the smoke from the firewood was very large, and we had to open the windows, so it didn't matter. Liu Gou'er's wife said.

Chen Fei is also worried that the use of honeycomb coal will cause carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide poisoning, so he told these people that it is a little poisonous. Chen Fei is not easy to explain the statement of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, so since the explanation is not clear, it means that there are small poisons, so that they can avoid letting these small poisons accumulate in the room. However, Chen Fei's worry is not very important, because when people burned firewood, there was often a lot of smoke and dust, so they would also open the windows to avoid choking on the smoke.

"Ah, this honeycomb coal is so good! The meal is all done, and it hasn't burned yet? Liu Gou'er's wife asked.

These honeycomb coals can generally be burned for an hour, that is, about two hours. So you can finish cooking without burning it, and then you can continue to keep warm.

"And the honeycomb coal is also very useful, and the residue is a whole piece after burning, and the wind can't blow away. It's not like the firewood, once it's burned it turns to dust, and when the wind blows, it disperses, and then the whole house is dirty. This honeycomb coal is much better than firewood, how much does this government cost? Liu Gou'er's wife asked.

"I also heard from the township that if you still want to use this honeycomb coal in the future, you can buy it from the coal yard at the price of every penny." Liu Gou'er said.

"It's not expensive for a penny!" Liu Gou'er's wife said.

"Daddy, you said we should sell all this firewood, and then use the money to buy this honeycomb coal! Since this firewood is so bad compared to this honeycomb coal, then of course we have to change the honeycomb coal! Liu Gou'er's wife said.

"Well, then I'll sell this firewood tomorrow!" Liu Gou'er replied. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
