Chapter 17 Making Honeycomb Coal
If he could, Pei Yun wanted to do all the safety measures well before letting people go down to the mine.
But time waits for no one, Nanshan Village can't wait that long, and when the safety measures are done, the villagers are starving to death.
In today's situation, it is necessary to seize the time to monetize the coal mine.
You can only take one step at a time, and things can only start from a simple one, such as digging a sink and ditch, building a windmill, etc., you can only go a little further and do a good job of things that can be effective immediately.
I hope that God will save face and let Nanshan Village survive the most difficult time.
After telling the matter, Pei Yun casually found a place to lean on and rested.
It's really nerve-wracking to think about things.
Qin Qi'er brought water, and at this time he had time to help him scrub the black paint on his body.
"It's hard work." Qin Qi'er said this not only for herself, but also for the villagers of Nanshan Village.
"Who doesn't work hard." Pei Yun said open-mindedly.
"But Childe shouldn't be like this."
"What's wrong with it, and no one is forcing me to do these things."
"Actually, the slave family has always wanted to ask what Childe's pursuit is." This is a cautious question.
"Pursuit? I think it's okay now, as for the future, the things I see in different stages of life are different, and I don't know what will happen in the future, so if you really want to say anything, can you not block me. ”
The last sentence sounds like a reproach, but in fact it is crying and laughing.
Qin Qi'er understood what Pei Yun was talking about, but why did she add to the blockage.
"The slave family is thinking about the son, the three wives and four concubines are the husbands, and the slave family just let them just covet the son, it depends on whether they have the ability."
On that day, Qin Qi'er's words spread all over Nanshan Village, and from that time, those unmarried women, when they saw Pei Yun, they all wanted to take a bite when they saw Tang monk's meat.
It can't be said that they are, this is determined by the current society.
There are many boys and girls in themselves, and this is especially true in Nanshan Village.
A capable man is even more admired by everyone.
The deep-rooted thinking of women in this era is that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
Capable men should have more women, because capable men can make more women live well.
There is no reason to say such a thing.
In fact, this is the requirement of reality, there are fewer men and more women, this is a fact, and it is unreasonable.
Again, labor is the primary productive force at the moment, plus perennial wars.
Men can do more than women, and men's roles are greater than women's.
Although the inferiority of men and women is a bad habit, it is also an inevitable result.
Qin Qi'er is alive at the moment, although she is special, many of her thoughts are the same as those of women today.
In her heart, Gongzi is a man, and he is so capable, there is nothing wrong with having three wives and four concubines, all she has to do is to look for a gatekeeper for Gongzi.
There's nothing wrong with thinking like this.
Because, if you can really become husband and wife with your son, then other women who are starting are concubines, and concubines are the property of their wives, even if they have more concubines, they are just more of their own property.
Pei Yun really couldn't cry or laugh, "You are really not afraid that I will fall in love with others, you must know that I am not a saint, but I am not able to stand the test." ”
"Will the son not want the slave family at that time, or does the son think that the slave family is a jealous woman, if the son can't stand the test, just marry into the door."
This is a serious statement.
Pei Yun was defeated, and could only say emphatically: "Remember, don't block me in the future." ”
Pei Yun stayed on the mountain for three days to ensure that the things that were arranged were implemented.
God still gives face, the wind and sun have been beautiful in the past three days, and according to the trend, the weather will not be too bad in the future.
If anything, the temperature is getting lower day by day, and winter is coming.
This is bad news and good news.
The bad news is that people will freeze to death in winter, and the good news is that as soon as winter arrives, the market for coal will come.
In three days, a lot of coal was dug up, and if this batch of coal could be sold, it would temporarily alleviate the urgent need of Nanshan Village.
Sitting on the raft, there was a basket of coal, and Pei Yun went down with the stream.
This is where the convenience of the stream is revealed, otherwise the coal would have to be carried down the mountain by manpower.
Half a day's journey, raft docking.
There are already villagers waiting, and the place where the shore is still some distance away from Nanshan Village, which requires manual transportation of the coal mine, among which there is also a cow dragging a wooden cart.
Oxen are precious, ploughing the ground in addition to pulling things.
The status of cattle is also not to be underestimated, Daqin has a law, and it is illegal to kill cattle.
In Nanshan Village, even if you are hungry, unless you are really desperate, otherwise this cow will live to die.
Pei Yun has special treatment, he can ride the ox cart back to the village.
Due to limited manpower, the coal would be transported back and forth many times until it was dark, and the coal was transported to Nanshan Village one after another.
After returning to Nanshan Village, Pei Yun went to see Sun Yaozu for the first time, and when he went to the mountains, he explained some things.
Although the rest of the village is old, weak, sick and disabled, the old, weak, sick and disabled do not mean that they cannot work.
Live in the moment, as long as you have the ability to act, you have to work.
The cruelty of reality will not be extra kind to you just because you are old, weak, sick and disabled.
To live, you have to do things until you die.
What Pei Yun explained was not difficult, so even the old, weak, sick and disabled could do it.
In addition to coal, the material for making honeycomb coal must also have yellow mud, and the thing Pei Yun explained was to find yellow mud.
In fact, selling coal is also profitable, so why make honeycomb coal.
The reason is.
Honeycomb coal costs less and works better.
Moreover, unique things can better open up the market.
If it's coal, you have it, someone else has it,
So why let people buy yours and not buy someone else's, unless it's a price war.
Pei Yun's requirements are not too high, as long as the price of honeycomb coal is the same as coal, there is no worry that no one will buy it.
The most lacking thing in Nanshan Village today is money, only when you earn money, you can buy food, and only when you have food, you will not starve to death.
To make honeycomb coal, a mold is also needed, and the mold failed to stump Pei Yun, so it was built early in the morning.
On the fifth day, Nanshan Village began to make honeycomb coal.
Honeycomb coal is not difficult to make, and the method is simple, as long as the coal and yellow mud are mixed with water and in a certain proportion.
The trick is in proportion.
Honeycomb coal, it is not difficult to imitate such a thing, as long as you know the proportion.
Pei Yun is not afraid of someone copying it, even if someone really imitates it, he will make money by then.
His purpose is only to help Nanshan Village survive the current level, as long as people live, there will be more opportunities in the future.
When making honeycomb coal, Niu Lili was the main person, and his great strength came in handy.
The lumpy coal is hammered into powder, and then mixed with yellow mud and water, while others take abrasives to make honeycomb coal.
The honeycomb coals are neatly arranged in the open space, and they are not slippery in the dark, but they make people happy to watch.
You know, this is something to be sold for money, and you are naturally happy to see it.
"Childe, just like that, you added yellow mud, and the things you make are really so good, even better than the original coal?" Qin Qi'er said.
Sometimes, women should ask more, so that they can show that men are useful and make men grow faces in disguise.
Of course, in fact, Qin Qi'er also doesn't understand, it's better to add yellow mud to coal, and this is the truth?
"The reason is that there are many holes in the middle of honeycomb coal, and with holes, the area of contact with air is larger, and it burns faster and more thoroughly."
Also, the hole is upward, which allows the flame to burn upwards faster, instead of spreading outward, if it is an ordinary coal block, not only does the temperature rise slowly, but it cannot be fully burned, and it is wasted. ”
Pei Yun had explained in as much detail as possible, but Qin Qi'er still heard it in a fog, she didn't understand the relationship between combustion and air contact area.
But the more she didn't understand, the more she felt profound, the more she felt that Childe was amazing, and the more she admired Childe's gaze.
There is a woman next to you, looking at you with adoring eyes, as a man, what should you do to react, naturally is to know everything, say everything, and behave yourself.
Pei Yun cleared his throat and continued: "The burned honeycomb coal is actually very useful, and it can be used to raise flowers. ”
"Crushing the burned honeycomb coal may be used as soil, which is light, breathable and drainable."
"There are also some minerals and trace elements on the burned honeycomb coal, which has a certain effect on promoting the growth of various flowers and plants."
"Honeycomb cinders are granular, and if they are used as soil, they have their own stomata, which can allow the plant roots to breathe better, which also strengthens the plant's ability to resist pests and diseases."
"Honeycomb cinder is also porous, with adsorption and drying, which can form a rapid dry-wet cycle."
As soon as Pei Yun spoke, he couldn't stop.
And Qin Qi'er on the side was like listening to the book of heaven, with a blank face from beginning to end.
Then I couldn't help but feel an emotion: "The slave family is really useless, I didn't understand a word of what the son said, and the son also thinks so, talking to the slave family must be hard, and you need to take care of the slave family to understand it." ”
This reaction is inferiority.
Yes, when exposed to things beyond one's own cognition, people always have low self-esteem.
Pei Yun found that things seemed to be self-defeating.
Actually, this is really not Qin Qi'er's stupidity, even if it is replaced by another knowledgeable person, when he hears what Pei Yun said, he is incomprehensible.
Although it is talking about simple honeycomb coal, it is all cross-generational content.
Pei Yun didn't want to see Qin Qi'er have low self-esteem, but if he just comforted her, would it make her feel that this was just a kind of pity.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly came to my head: "When I have time in the future, I will teach you to read and write." ”
Qin Qi'er was stunned: "What did the son say he wanted to teach the slave family?" ”
Pei Yun: "Reading and literacy, in this way, as long as you don't understand, I will teach you."
