Chapter 172: Conspiracy

"Not only that, but the heat that can be released by this honeycomb coal is higher than that of charcoal."

"With the same amount of honeycomb coal and charcoal, honeycomb coal burns warmer than charcoal."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it for yourself."

As she spoke, the maid brought a delicate little stove directly from the corner of the room.

When I opened it, it turned out to be not traditional charcoal, but pieces of black paint.

It seems that this is the honeycomb coal.

When everyone saw this, the second monk was puzzled.

They can still intuitively feel the two things before, but what is this?

Can this black really be burned as charcoal?

Seeing the confused appearance of everyone, the maid also smiled slightly, and ordered someone to fetch another small stove from outside, and said, "Everyone, there is no basis for what you say, you can feel it and know." ”

As she spoke, the maid opened the small new stove.

In the new furnace is the familiar charcoal.

Both stoves are of the same shape and size, and the number of charcoal fires stored is also about the same.

The maid placed the two stoves on the table, put her hands on the two stoves at the same time, and then motioned to the people, "Come, you can also come and experience which one is hotter." ”

Everyone stood still for a while.

Without him, it's just that this black thing looks too ugly.

They are afraid of getting their hands dirty.

However, Du Yan, who was standing in the crowd, was not afraid.

He was originally from a poor family, and he didn't care if it was dirty or not.

So when everyone was stunned, Du Yan took the lead in standing up, following the example of a maid, and put his hands on the stove.

Suddenly, Du Yan felt the difference.

The charcoal-burning stove was also quite warm, but it didn't feel as hot as the honeycomb coal-burning stove.

If a charcoal-burning stove is spring, then a honeycomb coal-burning stove is summer.

Du Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

No wonder when he came in from outside, he always felt that the room was unusually hot.

Du Yan directly announced the results of the experiment to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think it seems that the stove that burns honeycomb coal is warmer. ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't believe it.

Why is it that honeycomb coal that came out of nowhere is warmer than charcoal?

It's impossible!

A colleague who was anxious was the first to reach out.

After a moment, he exclaimed and came to the same conclusion as Du Yan: "Everyone, I also think that honeycomb coal stove is hotter. ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised, and hurriedly tried to surround the two stoves one by one.

After some temptation, everyone came to the same conclusion as Du Yan.

At this time, the maid also said in a timely manner: "My lords, this honeycomb coal is much better than charcoal. ”

"Although the price of honeycomb coal is indeed slightly more expensive than charcoal, I think it is still very cost-effective."

"This piece of honeycomb coal only costs 30 copper coins, if you want to maintain such a temperature at home, you only need to burn 5 pieces of honeycomb coal in one night."

At this time, Du Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the price of honeycomb coal is indeed more expensive than charcoal, the amount of honeycomb coal needed for a night is less than that of coal!

150 yuan a night, which is not much worse than burning charcoal.

Those ministers who were as shy as Du Yan also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Finally there was one thing they could afford!

Everyone hurriedly gathered around the maid and discussed the matter of buying honeycomb coal.

Du Yan is naturally not left behind.

This time, Du Yan directly bought a month's amount of money.

With the previous glass windows and faucets, Du Yan has great trust in the things sold in this Hu's hot pot restaurant.

With Jewel in front, how could this last thing be so bad?

Soon, seeing that everyone had ordered their things, the maid also smiled and led everyone out, and only Du Yan and his colleagues were left in the hall.

Within a few minutes, the hot pot was also presented.

Everyone looked at this fragrant hot pot, and their index fingers moved, and they let go of their bellies and ate it.

Anyway, this time it's their top boss Xu Duo who has a treat, and they must eat it back!

However, at this time, there was a discordant figure.

Unlike other people's lavish feasts regardless of their image, Xu Duo's right-hand man Ding Peng is obviously much more restrained.

Looking at everyone's disregard for the image, Ding Peng's smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Oh, they're all shallow little officials.

If you follow Lord Xu, what are the benefits?

This Hu's hot pot restaurant, Ding Peng has been here at least five times.

And this time, Ding Peng still has the task given to him by Xu Duo!

Ding Peng smiled and pretended to be enthusiastic and threw himself into the crowd.

However, compared with everyone eating food, Ding Peng is obviously much more enthusiastic about drinking.

Under Ding Peng's vigorous drinking, after a while, everyone in the banquet was drunk.

After all, this Ding Peng is the highest status among the people at this table!

Although everyone didn't want to drink too much, but Ding Peng toasted, they still had to give Ding Peng a face.

So soon, most people were drunk.

Seeing that everyone at the banquet was already drunk, Ding Peng also got up.

At this time, Ding Peng's eyes were clear, how could he still be a little drunk?

Ding Peng quickly arranged everything quietly, and then quietly walked out of the door of the private room and went to Xu Duo's table......

......

Today's Hu Chang'an, it is difficult to come out to go shopping.

Finally, everything is almost busy now, and Hu Changan can finally steal half a day of leisure and go shopping.

The first stop, naturally, is the familiar Qinhuai River.

This time, Hu Changan was just a tourist, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River.

Although there were not as many entertainment facilities as in ancient times, the various buildings in ancient times were absolutely antique.

Authentic, definitely not a counterfeit of later generations.

In ancient times, there were no electric lights, but lanterns of various colors and shapes were dizzying, and the night was decorated as if it were daytime.

Walking on this gorgeous street, Hu Changan suddenly felt comfortable, and it seemed that the troubles of these days had disappeared at this moment.

Hu Changan was walking and suddenly passed by a familiar place.

Hu's hot pot restaurant!

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Changan still decided to go to the store to have a look.

According to the little guy in the store, Xu Duo, the head of the household, has directly chartered the venue with him today!

It is said that all the bureaucrats of the household department, large and small, will be present.

With so many officials here, Hu Changan also plans to go in and join in the fun, and by the way, Xu Duo will be exempted from some meal money and sell personal favors.
