Chapter 68 Opening
Liaodong Junfang City.
The original small shop of Jinniu has changed its signboard, and his charcoal shop is also regarded as the industry of Kyushu Coal Industry, so it is also hung up with the brand of Kyushu Coal Industry.
At this time, there were a lot of people gathered in front of the Kyushu coal store, all of them watching the guys in the store sell new honeycomb coal to everyone.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, Kyushu Coal has launched the cheapest heating materials, this honeycomb coal, only two cents a piece, a family can cook, boil water, and heat as long as they spend less than 10 cents a day, which is much cheaper than using charcoal and firewood."
"Today's opening is an event, anyone who buys a honeycomb coal stove will send five honeycomb coal today, and these five honeycomb coal are ten cents, and if you miss today, this cheap will be gone."
The voice of the shopkeeper was very loud, and as soon as he shouted, there were more people around, almost surrounding the entire Kyushu coal store.
"Isn't this coal poisonous?"
"Coal kills."
As soon as someone heard about coal, he shook his head again and again.
"Of course, ordinary coal will be private, because coal contains sulfur, which will be toxic after combustion, but the honeycomb coal in our Kyushu coal industry is different, we have gone through a complex process to remove the sulfur in it, so we can use it with confidence."
When the shopkeeper heard it, he naturally explained again and again.
"Is this true?"
Someone said suspiciously.
"You don't believe me?"
"I'll show you what I've heard on the spot."
The shopkeeper hurriedly came to a reddish honeycomb coal stove that had been burned, took a deep breath into the air, and then said, "Look, am I poisoned?" I'm not a living tiger. ”
"The honeycomb coal in our Kyushu coal industry is different, we use it every day, there is nothing, you also come to smell it, there is no smell at all, if it is coal containing sulfur, it has a peculiar smell, you will know it when you smell it."
"That's true, I've burned some coal before, and it does smell like it, and it makes me dizzy when I smell it, but this one doesn't."
"It doesn't taste at all, this fire is quite strong, and it seems to be quite resistant to burning."
When the people around heard this, they all hurriedly went over to smell it, and then nodded and said one by one.
"Of course the things in our Kyushu coal industry are good things, I tell you, as long as a few pieces of this honeycomb coal, it is enough to use for a day, which can be used for cooking, can also be used to boil water, can also be used for heating, very convenient, practical, and very durable."
"This calorie is also very high, you see, it's just three pieces of honeycomb coal, only six cents, this calorie is okay~"
"Today, because it is the first day we have launched honeycomb coal, we have an activity, and we will give five honeycomb coals when we buy a honeycomb coal stove, which is worth ten cents."
"Now the charcoal has risen to nearly 600 wen a load, and this load of charcoal can't be burned for a few days, and this charcoal is only used for heating, it can't be used to boil water or cook at all."
"The honeycomb coal of our Kyushu coal industry can also be used for cooking and boiling water, with more uses, greater effects, and the price is also very cheap, two cents a briquette, and the big honeycomb coal stove is only 100 wen, and the small one is only 50 wen."
The eloquence of the shopkeeper is very good, and it is difficult to capture the hearts of consumers when selling things, so that the people around him who are watching the excitement are also very excited.
Everyone will calculate this accounting, especially the people at the bottom, this money is eager to be used as two pennies, and the economic account does not need to be calculated by the shopkeeper at all, everyone knows it, and it is also calculated clearly.
At the entrance of the Kyushu coal store, more and more people gathered, and Zhang Shijie and Su Shuang also happened to come over, standing quietly aside, watching silently.
"Is this coal stove durable?"
Someone picked up a honeycomb coal stove and looked at it carefully, and seemed to be quite excited.
"Why isn't it durable, don't you see that this outside is all wrapped in iron sheets?"
"There is no problem in keeping it for you to buy one for ten or eight years, and it occupies a small area, and you can save money on the stove; In terms of movement, you can put it down anywhere. ”
"To be honest, we didn't make a penny from this coal stove."
The shopkeeper was not happy when he heard this, so he quickly picked up a coal stove and knocked the iron sheet on it hard.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded one after another, in the era of salt and iron monopoly, the price of this iron has always been not cheap, and the coal stove made of iron sheets, can the quality be poor?
"It's cheap, it's cheap, is this honeycomb coal really as good as you say?"
Someone spoke up again.
"Of course it's easy to use, it's very convenient, come, I'll show you in person, you can understand it at a glance."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded again and again, and then began to demonstrate in person as Su Yu had taught them when he first taught them.
"For the first time, we need to burn this honeycomb coal red, and burn one or two pieces."
"Then put this red-hot honeycomb coal at the bottom, and then add the coal lump on top."
"When we want to use fire, we open the lid of this small opening, and we can fan the air inside, so that the honeycomb coal in the stove can be burned quickly."
"This honeycomb coal, very resistant to burning, after it burns white, this means that the honeycomb coal inside will be burned clean, we will take out the bottom honeycomb coal, and then put it back layer by layer, and add new honeycomb coal on the top."
There is a similar scholar Su Yu in the shop, and he explains while demonstrating, which is very simple, and the people around him will naturally see it at a glance, and there is no difficulty at all.
"Another advantage of the honeycomb coal furnace in our Kyushu coal industry is that if we don't need to use fire, we can cover the small opening here, so that the honeycomb coal inside will soon be slowly extinguished, and only a little bit is burning."
"When we need it, we open the lid and fan the wind, and soon it burns again, so that we don't have to relight the fire every time we use it, which is very convenient."
The shopkeeper is also demonstrating while not forgetting to constantly sell and boast.
"It's really good, if nothing else, it's rare to be able to catch fire quickly."
Some people can't help but nod their heads after reading it, making a fire is very simple in later generations, but in ancient times, it was definitely not an easy thing.
If there is no fire fold, it will be difficult to make a fire, especially in rainy days, when the purchased firewood is wet and damp, it is even more difficult to make a fire.
The price of this fire fold is not cheap, and many times ordinary people are reluctant to buy fire folds, so cooking, boiling water, and heating have not been very convenient.
"It's really not bad, Xiao Er, do you really get five honeycomb coals when you buy a coal stove today?"
Someone nodded and began to discuss with the shopkeeper.
"Of course, this activity of buying coal stoves and sending honeycomb coal is only available today, so we need to hurry up."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"Boss, bring me a single-core coal stove and 5 honeycomb coals."
Someone immediately started to pay for it, ready to buy it back and give it a try.
"Okay~"
Finally opened the account, and the shopkeeper also shouted happily: "One single-core coal stove, 5 honeycomb coal, counting the 5 gifts, a total of 10 honeycomb coal, always 60 Wen~"
