Chapter 14 The Magical Coal Stove
Two quarters of an hour later, Geril walked home with a honeycomb coal stove and a small beard in a cotton jacket.
He also carried a bag of ten honeycomb coals specially given by the store.
Until now, Geril couldn't believe what he had just experienced, and under the promotion of that guy, he had replaced the three sheep he had brought with these things in his hand now, but at the moment his heart was still a little uneasy.
Not to mention cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton jackets, a set of sheep is worth it.
It's debatable whether this honeycomb coal stove and honeycomb coal are as good as the guy said, so I can only wait until I get home and try it.
Gerille hastened to return home, and the snow was heavy, and the traces of his walk were soon covered by the falling snow......
In the evening, Kohl's Department.
Inside the yurt of the GΕilΔ« family.
Geril, his wife, and daughter, Little Sanchi, and a family of three sat around a honeycomb coal stove and looked at each other.
"It's too hot (husband), how do you use this thing?"
Hearing his wife's inquiry, Geril carefully recalled what the man had said during the day, tentatively picked up a piece of honeycomb coal and put it into the honeycomb coal stove, then lit a handful of hay in the opening under the stove and threw it in, and then waited quietly.
"Listen to that guy and that's it, just a dozen of these coals can burn for a day and a night."
"Is it true?"
Such doubts were buried in the minds of the three of them, but everyone did not speak and waited quietly.
Soon, the hay burning under the stove ignited the honeycomb coal at the bottom of the stove, and the honeycomb coal began to burn red.
The small honeycomb coal soon showed its great energy, and the rising temperature in the yurt quickly drove the cold away, and the family around the honeycomb coal stove felt warm all over.
The faces of the family in the photo were all red, like apples.
Little Sanji couldn't hold his breath the most, and couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering.
"Oh! That's great! This little black ball is really useful, Abu, this little black ball can really bring warmth! That's great! β
Geril, who had been holding his heart with a straight face, finally smiled.
Great, this thing called honeycomb coal is really useful, as long as you can determine that a dozen pieces can burn for a day and a night, then you don't have to buy the Li family's high-priced firewood, then you can leave more sheep in your family this winter.
Geril's wife was also very happy, and even excitedly couldn't help but close her hands and began to pray to the immortal heaven.
The effect of honeycomb coal has been unanimously affirmed by the Gerille family.
Soon all three pieces of coal in a furnace were filled, and according to the fellow, as long as he got up at night to change the burned coal, he could keep warm all night.
Moreover, when preparing dinner, Gerile's wife, who was originally going to roast meat with the flame burning on the honeycomb coal stove, suddenly had a whim, and put the only iron pot in the family on the honeycomb coal stove, which happened to be tightly covered on it.
Then fill in the snow water from outside, put down the mutton and salt, and in a short time, a pot of hot mutton soup is baked.
The discovery that this stove can also be used to cook soup made the family even more excited, and they said that this stove was worth buying.
You must know that in the past, only in the weather when there was no snow could they pick up an iron pot outside the yurt and cook a bowl of hot mutton soup to drink.
Now with this stove, they can cook soup and drink in the yurt without worrying about a fire burning the yurt.
Of course, in order to prevent poisoning like the charcoal in the past, Geril deliberately made a small hole in the top of the yurt, and made a thing resembling a curved chimney on top of the small hole with cloth and wood, so that rain and snow would not fall from the hole and the smoke could be discharged.
Just as the family was happily drinking hot mutton soup and enjoying the rare comfort in winter, with a shout, the door curtain of the yurt was lifted from the outside.
"Geril!"
A rough man with a full beard lifted the curtain of the door and walked in, and as soon as he came in, he saw the Gerile family drinking soup, and the whole person froze in place.
Geril raised his eyes when he heard the sound, oh~ This person knows, it is his good friend Buck, a famous sheep breeder in the tribe, his sheep can be raised better than other people's families every year, it can be said that he is a wealthy family in the tribe.
"It's Buck, why are you here, come on, come on, we happen to be having dinner, have you eaten, come and drink a bowl of soup to warm up!"
Seeing the arrival of his friend, Geriledang greeted him warmly.
Buck was stunned and was taken to the coal stove by Gerile, and then Geril's wife served him a steaming bowl of mutton soup and brought it to him.
Feeling the cold around his body gradually fading away, and then looking at the hot soup in his hand, the cauldron in front of him that was constantly tumbling and bubbling, Buck didn't know how to say the shock in his heart.
It took him a long time before he came back to his senses, hurriedly put the bowl in his hand on the ground, pointed to the coal stove and asked Gerile in shock: "Brother Gerile, this is ...... This...... What kind of thing is this? Why is it so warm that it can be used to make soup? β
He was not stupid, and he could naturally see that what could cause this scene must be caused by the thing in front of him that was wrapped in the appearance of a silver-white iron mound.
Seeing him like this, Geril immediately laughed and said:
"Hahahaha, how's Buck, amazing?
This thing is called a coal stove, as long as three pieces of coal are put in it, it can burn for half a night to provide warmth, as long as a dozen pieces of coal can make the yurt room in a warm state for a day and a night, and it can just be used to cook soup, which is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! β
Buck nodded his head again and again, and couldn't help but respond: "Amazing! Magical! It's amazing, it's a treasure! My dear Geril, where did you get this treasure? If only I could have one in my family.
It's much better than firewood, and every time I use it, I'm afraid it will burn my yurt, but I can't bear the cold winter.
But I'm really worried to death, don't you know, this year, the hateful Li family firm has increased in price, and I used twenty-four sheep to exchange it for enough for our family for a week. β
At the mention of this, Gerille immediately agreed with empathy:
"Buck, you're right, that Li family firm is really a greedy place, I also went today, but my sheep were not enough so I didn't change it, and when I came back, I met a shop that sold this coal stove, so I replaced the sheep I brought with this one, it's really blessed by Immortal God!"
"What? Is this PokΓ©mon sold in town? How many sheep are needed? β
Buck was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately hurriedly asked for the price.
Geril held out two fingers.
Buck then said, "Twenty sheep? β
Then he pondered and muttered, "If the so-called coal is not expensive, the price of twenty sheep is not expensive for this thing." β
After hearing this, Grile laughed, approached Buck's side and said slowly: "Buck, not twenty sheep, but two sheep can be exchanged for this coal stove, and the price of one sheep can be exchanged for two hundred pieces of coal, which is enough for a family to use for seven or eight days!" β
"What! So cheap! β
Buck was speechless at the bargain price.
