Chapter 133: Honeycomb Coal
Looking at the expectant eyes of the workers, Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, today I will teach you to make a new thing." ”
"It's called honeycomb coal, and it can replace charcoal as a new heating tool."
What?
Replacing charcoal?
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic.
Young Master Hu's tone is really big.
You must know that charcoal is a heating tool that they have used since childhood, how can this charcoal become something that is replaced by saying that in the mouth of Young Master Hu?
Although there were doubts in the hearts of the people, there were not many.
After all, this is what Young Master Hu said!
After several times before, these workers have long admired Hu Chang'an.
In the eyes of these workers, if Young Master Hu said that it was possible, it must be possible.
No matter how outrageous things are, they can become reality!
Hu Changan looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
I saw Hu Changan suddenly take out a strange-shaped tool with a long pole from behind him.
Hu Changan walked slowly to the pile of freshly washed wet coal, and manipulated the mold to press hard.
After a period of squeezing, the wet coal was shaped and became the honeycomb coal that Hu Changan was very familiar with in his previous life.
The reason why Hu Changan chose to make honeycomb coal in the coal workshop is also because wet coal is needed to make honeycomb coal.
Only wet coal can be effectively shaped.
If it is transported to the city before it is operated, it is necessary to remix the coal and water.
And here, ready-made, freshly washed coal piles up.
In this way, the operation of adding water is omitted.
Seeing that the honeycomb coal had been formed, Hu Changan used special tweezers to put the newly made honeycomb coal on the square on the side, and said to everyone: "Everyone, this newly made honeycomb coal still needs to be dried in the sun. ”
"As long as it is dried for another two or three days, this honeycomb coal can be made."
Everyone looked at Hu Changan's operation and felt very novel.
One of them rubbed his hands, as if he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart: "Young Master Hu, can you let me try this thing too?" ”
"Absolutely." Hu Changan generously handed over the tools in his hand.
The man hurriedly followed Hu Changan's example and pressed the wet coal on the side.
Looking at his appearance, he is simply busy.
Hu Changan smiled slightly and waved his hand at the little guy behind him.
The little guy understood, and immediately took a handful of tools from the carriage behind him and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Hu Changan looked at everyone, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, in the future, all of you will be divided into two groups." ”
"One wave washes coal, and one wave is responsible for making this honeycomb coal."
"You only need to leave half of the washed coal to dry and transport to the city."
"You can keep the other wet coal as honeycomb coal."
Hu Changan looked at a few people who had already started working, and added: "When you are drying honeycomb coal, remember to leave only a few gaps in each piece of coal, so that it is convenient for ventilation." ”
When everyone heard this, they also nodded again and again, and took their tools to prepare for work.
However, just as the crowd was about to disperse, a weak voice interrupted everyone's movements.
It was a slightly thin craftsman who spoke up.
"Young Master Hu, I don't know what the holes in this honeycomb coal are kept for?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then burst into laughter
"What kind of person is the young master, he said that he wanted to leave holes, so there is a reason for leaving holes. You stunned young man, why are you asking so much, can't you just do it? ”
"What else do you ask, it's like the moon in the sky is bent, what else can there be?"
However, when Hu Changan heard these compliments, he did not feel happy, but frowned.
Although he hopes that these craftsmen will listen to him, he does not want them to lose their ability to think independently.
After all, there is a limit to what he can do alone.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
It's not uncommon to know how to do it, the key is to know why you want to do it.
Only in this way can we continue to grow and improve in our work.
In the face of everyone's ridicule, the thin craftsman was also a little embarrassed.
However, just as he was about to turn his head to work, he was stopped by Hu Changan: "What is your name of the person who asked the question just now?" ”
"Back to Young Master Hu, the villain's name is Li Xiaoer."
Li Xiaoer turned around uneasily and looked at Hu Changan nervously.
Li Xiaoer's heart was very worried.
Could it be that his unintentional words just now offended Young Master Hu?
He didn't want to lose his hard-earned job!
However, Hu Changan smiled at him.
Hu Changan patted Li Xiaoer's shoulder and affirmed the question he just asked: "Li Xiaoer, you are very good like this." ”
"We can only progress if we are good at asking why!"
After that, Hu Changan turned to the other workers and said earnestly: "Everyone, although I know more than you, I am not omnipotent. ”
"As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual."
"All I can do is lead you through the door. What is more important is what you will learn in your future work. ”
"Only by learning to ask why can you draw inferences and come up with innovations in your work that will improve your workflow and be more productive."
"In the future, if you have any questions in your work, you must ask me in time, as long as I am free, I will definitely answer your questions!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
Indeed, Hu Changan is so powerful that they have subconsciously deified Hu Changan and given up their own thinking.
This is a very bad phenomenon.
Everyone knows that in the work, we must draw inferences and think carefully.
But after having Hu Changan, they seem to be used to relying on Hu Changan and forgetting to think about it themselves.
Looking at everyone's pensive looks, Hu Changan also smiled slightly.
It seems that what he said just now had an effect.
Hu Changan didn't want his craftsmen to be a bunch of obedient puppets.
At this time, Li Xiaoer was also radiant.
He never expected that the high-ranking young master would praise him in front of everyone!
In the future, he must work more seriously and think, so that Young Master Hu will be impressed.
Looking at the energetic Li Xiaoer, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and answered his doubts.
"The reason why I want you to leave holes between these honeycomb coals is because it will facilitate the entry of air during combustion, and it will make the coal burn more fully."
"This way, the coal can release more heat."
"At the same time, it also reduces the inadequate burning of coal."
