Chapter 500 501 Success

After noon, Uncle Zhou returned to the mansion and reported like Li Yuqi: "Madam, after Boss Su bought the Zhuangzi, he repaired the Zhuangzi again, but he didn't move the original furniture. He did it later, and he also introduced the hot spring water into the bath room. Only the bed in the main room has to be remade."

Li Yu sighed in his heart after hearing this, the whole set of sandalwood tables and chairs plus the hot spring house, Mrs. Zhou sold it for less than 6,000 taels of silver.

"Okay, you can take someone to measure it. The bed will be the style of a home in Fengming Village. We will spend time there for a few days."

Zhou Bo smiled wrinkled, "Hey! You will like it when you go to live there."

Li Yu looked at Zhou Bo's happy look and thought: I haven't asked for so many years, why did he and Aunt He have a family? The two kept Xiaoxi in the Zhou family for a lifetime, and worked hard for the Zhou family.

Jixiang came back from Wangjia'ao in the evening, and Han San and two drove a carriage, pulled ten baskets of coal and a few baskets of clay, and the coal stove was fired. thick.

"Madam, is it like this?" Jixiang asked.

"Yes, that's what it looks like. Pull the charcoal and clay to the backyard and find a spacious place to put it away."

Jixiang and Han San carried coal and clay to the back garden. Li Yu went to the woodshed to find a hoe, a hammer, and a shovel, and went to the back garden.

and other coals were all carried into the back garden, Li Yu said to Jixiang: "You guys smash all these coals into pieces, the finer the better."

Jixiang nodded in response, and everyone was busy.

Li Yu looked at their busy figures and remembered the scene when his father was selling briquettes when he was a child. He only made a few yuan after a long day of exhaustion. Later, when he had a briquettes factory, he didn't even have the chance to make those few yuan.

Mother Chen and Xinghua came to the backyard to find Li Yu with Yueyue and Xingxing in their arms. The two little villains didn't want to stay in the house when they opened their eyes. .

Mother Chen smiled and said to Li Yu: "Madam, the third young master has begun to recognize people, and he will look for you everywhere when he opens his eyes."

Li Yu took Xingxing and kissed him with a smile, "Is Xing'er looking for a mother?"

Xingxing looked at Li Yu with his black eyes and pouted, Li Yu also pouted at him, and Xingxing giggled.

Xinghua looked at the way Xingxing smiled, with a helpless look, "The third young master knows people the most, we tease him a few times before he laughs lazily, the second young master loves to laugh, poking him like a lotus root. With little hands, he'll giggle with laughter."

Li Yu looked at him and looked up at the little loach and the others, and said with a smile, "Yeah! Put less sugar in the goat milk in the future, you see he likes to play with the little loach and the others."

"Yes! Children rarely play with older children," Xinghua glanced at the little loaches who were helping out there, "Maizi and the others haven't got their names yet!"

Li Yu nodded, "Yeah! If they want to follow Yang'er in the future, they should wait for your eldest young master to pick them up."

The two children fell asleep after playing for a while, and Chen Mama and Xinghua took them back to the house.

Half an hour later, Jixiang and the others pounded the coals into a few baskets, and Li Yu asked them to sieve the coal with a rice sieve.

Two baskets of coal and half a basket of clay are poured together and mixed well, put together into a pile, dig a hole in the middle, slowly add water to the hole, and stir the slime over and over until the slime is evenly fused together. It is suitable for not dry or wet in the hand.

Li Yuti had a briquettes machine that weighed about ten kilograms. He walked to the reconciled slime, grabbed the handle of the briquettes machine with both hands and smashed it on the slime, smashed it twice, and then rotated it left and right and rolled it a few times. Continue to smash, repeat this several times,

Until the inside of the briquettes machine is filled, carry the briquettes machine to the flat ground next to it, push the iron rod down, and a round briquettes will fall to the ground.

Jixiang and Han San looked at the briquettes on the ground with wide eyes, and Edamame shouted, "Madam, it's like you're doing a trick."

Jixiang looked eager to try, and walked forward with a smile, "Madam, give me a try."

Li Yu handed it to him, Jixiang recalled Li Yu's actions just now, hit one, pushed it out and scattered, the little loach laughed, "Uncle Xiang, smash a few more, we can't do it."

Jixiang smiled: "Stinky boy, you all wait in line."

Li Yu said with a smile: "You have to smash it twice and spin the coal machine on the ground a few times, so that the slime will be filled and the pushed briquettes will not be scattered."

Jixiang nodded and played again according to Li Yu's method. This time the briquettes were the right one.

Li Yu saw that the briquettes machine was easy to use, and said to Jixiang: "When these briquettes are ready, go to the blacksmith and ask him to make a few more."

"Madam, are you trying to sell this thing?" Jixiang asked.

"Make a batch first, and send a coal stove and briquettes to the family. Today's work will be sent to the pharmacy first, and it will be placed outside, and someone will come to ask."

"Okay, I'll go after I finish this."

Li Yu looked at Han San, "Go back and hire a few day laborers in Linxian County, and go to the back mountain to mine coal." Li Yu said here, and suddenly thought that there should be gas under the deep coal. He ordered, "Hire five day laborers to dig shallow coal. If you find any odor, take someone to leave as soon as possible, remember?"

"Yes, ma'am, are the coals dug up in the village?"

"Pile it up on the Zhuangzi first, and then dig it out, then buy a few bullock carts to go back, and then use bullock carts to pull them."

Han San responded and left. Li Yu went back to the house and thought about it, and said to Yang Mama, "Mamma, you go to the Four Seas Bank and ask Chu Qing to come to the house. I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes, ma'am." Chu mama stepped back.

Li Yu was leaning on the reclining chair, thinking about how to solve the gas emission problem in the deep coal mine.

After thinking about it for a long time, it suddenly occurred to me that the gas can be discharged by punching the bamboo pipe in!

Li Yu hurriedly went to the back garden and said to the little loach: "You and Xiaojieba go to Zhuangzi and tell Han San, let him go to the blacksmith shop to buy an iron drill, and then go to the bamboo forest to chop a few bamboos to get through. For the bamboo joints inside, cut the bamboo pole into a knife edge, use an iron drill to dig a hole deep in the coal mine, insert the bamboo pole into it, and after a while, you can dig deep coal."

Little Loach scratched his head and looked at Li Yu, "Madam, you wrote it on the paper, I'm afraid I'll forget it."

Little stammered, Little Loach nodded at Li Yu, "Madam, I...I remember."

Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Okay, remember, let's go! Come back with Han San tomorrow."

Chu Qing followed Mama Yang to Zhou's house. Li Yu took him to the back garden, pointed to the coal in the basket, and said to Chu Qing, "Treasurer Chu, do you know what this is called?"

Chu Qing picked up a piece and looked at it. Isn't this coal? No one has ever used it before. How did Mrs. Li know about this?
