The clerk politely replied: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will explain it to you right away." After speaking, he glanced at the people around him and said loudly: "I'm afraid you all have such questions. Don't worry.
The little one will answer your questions right away. Take your time, don’t rush."
After saying that, the man raised a piece of briquettes and said, "This is called briquettes. You guys may have questions, what is this used for? I'll tell you here, this is used as charcoal for burning."
When the people heard that these black things were used for burning, there were boos in the crowd. After all, everyone has seen a lot of burning things. Charcoal can be burned, and pebbles can also be burned. One more thing like this will not help.
Not surprising.
Seeing that the appeal of honeycomb briquettes to everyone suddenly dropped, the clerk was not in a hurry and continued confidently: "You know, the thing to burn here is firewood, charcoal, and charcoal. In everyone's opinion, Xiao
This thing in my hand may be really tight. But today I want to tell you that this briquette must be better than everyone thinks."
Seeing all the people's eyes focused on him, the clerk suddenly felt his blood boiling in his heart. He struck while the iron was hot and shouted: "Everyone knows that charcoal is easy to ignite, but it is not resistant to burning; while pebbles are resistant to burning, but not resistant to burning."
Easy to ignite."
When the clerk said this, he paused and raised the briquettes in his hands again, "And the briquettes in the young man's hands are as easy to ignite as charcoal and as resistant to burning as coal!"
After the guy finished speaking, there was an uproar among the crowd.
The bold person immediately asked: "Are you lying to everyone? Are there such things in the world that have the best of both worlds? This old man has lived for so many years, how come he has never heard of it?"
The others also had doubtful expressions, staring closely at the waiter, as if they wanted to see the truth or falsehood of what he said from the expression on his face.
The clerk held up the briquettes, smiled slightly, and said: "Hearing with the ears is false, seeing with the eyes is believing. We will know if it is true or false after a try."
After saying that, he waved to others on the side to bring the prepared brazier over.
The clerk used pliers to put the briquettes on the brazier in full view of everyone.
The clerk put down the briquettes, turned around and asked the people watching, "Guess, how long does it take to ignite this briquettes?"
The few people standing at the front looked at each other and looked at each other in confusion. They did not speak rashly. They just stared at the briquettes in the brazier, as if they wanted to see how the briquettes were lit with their own eyes.
The waiter didn't keep everyone waiting for too long. It was just a matter of chatting for a few words. The waiter picked up the briquettes with pliers and showed them to everyone with the bottom facing them.
Now, the waiter didn't need to say anything more, the people started talking about it one after another.
"In such a short period of time, the briquettes were actually ignited. Calculating it this way, it is actually not much worse than charcoal."
"Yes, yes. In the old man's opinion, this is almost the same as charcoal..."
Seeing that everyone believed what he just said, the guy smiled and said, "You didn't lie to everyone. I said this is as easy to ignite as charcoal, is that true?"
"Really, truly, truer than gold."
"Yes, I am an honest person." Someone gave the clerk a thumbs up.
"Okay, now that everyone believes it, let me tell you how to use this briquette." The guy pointed to the coal stove and continued: "Did you see it? This is the coal specially used to burn briquettes.
stove."
With that said, the waiter put the briquettes into the coal stove, added two more briquettes, and aligned the holes according to Han Du's instructions.
After doing all this, the man put down the pliers in his hand and explained: "Perhaps everyone is wondering why we don't use the stove to burn the honeycomb briquettes, but use this coal stove?"
The people around him burst into laughter after hearing this. They indeed had this question. Since this briquette is used as charcoal for burning, why not just burn it directly instead of using such a weird-looking thing?
He waved to a guest officer in front of him and said, "This guest officer, please come forward."
The person who was called by the waiter flinched when he heard the words and was about to retreat. But behind him, there was a crowd of people. Where could he retreat to?
Not only did he not retreat to the back, but he was forced to retreat in front of the waiter by the busybody behind him.
When the waiter saw this, he immediately took the man's arm and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Sir. I came to you just to invite you to experience it with your own hands. There is no other meaning."
Hearing what the waiter said, it was hard for this person to retreat. If he insisted on retreating now, wouldn't it mean that he was afraid?
Seeing that the man did not retreat, the waiter stretched out his hand and signaled, "Sir, please reach over here and try."
The man put his hand over the coal stove as instructed, and immediately felt a heat wave rushing over his hand. He said truthfully: "There is a heat wave, it's a little hot."
The waiter straightened up and explained with a smile: "That's why the fire has just been raised, and the flames haven't come out yet. Once the flames burn up, it will be effective."
After a while, blue flames burst out from the coal stove.
The onlookers all widened their eyes and were surprised. The waiter really didn't lie to them.
When the waiter saw the flames appear, he waved someone to bring an iron pot over and put it on the coal stove. Suddenly, a burst of oily smoke came out quickly from small to large.
Someone who was cooking at home suddenly exclaimed, "This, this fire is so powerful, the oil heats up so quickly..."
Seeing that everyone had finished watching, the waiter quickly removed the iron pot and placed a copper basin filled with water.
"At home, you have to wash up in the morning, right? It's inconvenient to boil hot water in a pot, right? But using a coal stove will be extremely convenient."
Within a few words, the water in the copper basin began to emit slight steam.
The waiter motioned to the guest next to him and said, "This guest can try the water to see if it's hot?"
The man followed the instructions and put his hand into the water to try it. His expression suddenly changed, he nodded and said truthfully: "It is indeed hot water."
Seeing that the guest officer had been allowed to try everything, the waiter held his hand and said, "Thank you, guest officer, you can go back."
This man's face turned red, as if he was congested. Different from the timidity at the beginning, now his blood was boiling, and he seemed to be a little energetic. When he heard the waiter asked him to go back to his original position, he was still a little unfinished.
