"Mr. Liu, it's already three o'clock in the morning, it's time for you to get up."
Qian Youcai came to the door of Liu Jin's room and said helplessly when he saw that Liu Jin hadn't gotten up yet.
The ancients usually went to bed very early and got up very early. Liu Jin traveled through time in later generations and still retains the living habits of later generations. He would never get up before seven or eight o'clock.
What's more, the weather is cold now, the cold wind is howling outside, and Liu Jin is habitually staying in bed. If there is nothing wrong, Liu Jin can sleep until noon.
Regarding this point, Qian Youcai shook his head more than once and twice. In his opinion, Liu Jin was good at everything, very talented and modest, whether it was good for himself or the villagers of Xishan Village.
, he is always pleasant-looking and very polite, and everyone likes him very much.
However, this habit of sleeping in has never been changed, which made Qian Youcai, who was eager to bring briquettes to the market as soon as possible, shake his head.
"Okay~ okay, I'll get up right away."
Liu Jin's lazy voice came from the room.
Qian Youcai didn't wait long. After a few minutes, Liu Jin had already put on his clothes and walked out. When the cold wind blew, Liu Jin couldn't help shrinking his body and said: "Old Qian, can you do it in the future?"
Don't wake people up so early in the morning. In this weather, if you don't get more sleep, you're really wasting this rare good weather."
"My Mr. Liu, it's already Chenshi, and you haven't married a wife yet. What are you doing sitting in bed? It's better to get up early and go to bed early."
Qian Youcai looked at Liu Jin and shook his head again.
"I also know that going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health, but I can't change it."
"If you don't talk about this anymore, why did you wake me up so early? What's the matter?"
Liu Jin yawned, looking like he hadn't had enough sleep.
"The first batch of briquettes we made has been dried and cleaned. Now you should teach me how to use this briquettes."
"I learned it here so that people can sell it in the capital as soon as possible. This free money is spent every day like water. You don't know this feeling."
Qian Youcai said as he led Liu Jin to the briquette production workshop.
Qian Youcai has been thinking about how to use this briquette for a long time, but it still feels wrong, especially when combined with the briquette stove, it feels wrong no matter how you use it.
"This is easy~ I thought you should be able to figure it out yourself."
Liu Jin was slightly startled, he didn't expect this to be the case.
Soon, the two arrived at the briquette production workshop. Many of Qian Youcai's men were already waiting. At the same time, some people were constantly thinking carefully about how to use briquettes.
"Master Liu is here. You all have to watch and study carefully later. Did you hear that?"
Qian Youcai looked at his men and said sternly.
When the guys heard this, they all cheered up and said, "I heard that~"
Liu Jin looked at everyone, took two briquette stoves and started teaching.
"Let's take a look. There are two types of briquette stoves. We call this type a single-core coal stove, which means that only one briquette can be put in at a time."
"We call this kind of three-core coal stove that can put three briquettes in at the same time. Except for the number of briquettes in this one-time installation, the two types of coal stoves have the same structure."
"This single-core coal stove can only hold a stack of honeycomb briquettes, so the heat it generates when burning is limited, and the stove is not large. It is generally suitable for boiling water and heating."
"This three-core coal stove can hold three stacks of briquettes at the same time. It generates high heat and the stove is large. It can be used for cooking, boiling water, heating, etc."
Liu Jin took two briquette stoves and began to explain to these guys.
"So when we promote briquettes, we need to be more flexible, carefully ask customers' needs, and then recommend suitable coal stoves."
"There is a small opening under the coal stove. This opening can be closed and opened. When we need to use fire, we will open this small opening. When we do not need to use fire, we will cover it.
It can save coal.”
"To use this briquette, when you first start using it, you need to burn a piece of briquette red, then put the piece of briquette at the bottom of the coal stove, and then add other briquettes on top."
While Liu Jin was talking, he also started to operate. In order to study how to use briquettes, these guys with money and wealth had already prepared all the tools, and there were already burning charcoal beside them.
Liu Jin put a few pieces of briquettes into the charcoal and slowly burned them red, then placed the briquettes at the bottom of the coal stove, and then continued to add briquettes on top.
"If we feel that the fire is burning too slowly or is not big enough, we can also use a fan to continuously fan the opening. This will speed up its burning and make it burn completely quickly."
Following Liu Jin's operation, the briquettes in the coal stove quickly burned red and began to emit billowing heat, making the eyes of all the workers around him brighten.
"So it's so, it's so simple. Fortunately, we thought about it for a long time, but we didn't even figure it out."
Someone said as if suddenly enlightened.
"I have never understood the function of this small opening. It turns out that it has the same function as a blower. It can be used to blow air and increase firepower."
"Tsk tsk, this one is full of firepower and the heat wave is scorching, and the size is just right, just about the same size as a pot. It can be used for cooking and boiling water. It is really convenient."
"No, if we really use this, it will be much more convenient for us to cook and boil water in the future."
The guys were talking to each other, and everyone quickly realized the benefits of this briquette stove. It is very convenient to use. The key is that it is long-lasting and has high heat, which is much better than burning firewood.
"When the briquettes are used up, that is, the coal in them is burned out, I can take out the burned briquettes at the bottom, put them back layer by layer, and add new briquettes on top."
"Of course, I'm just demonstrating here. This piece of briquettes can't be burned out so easily. Only when its color turns white will it really be completely burned out."
"In addition, if we don't need to use it, we can cover this small opening. After covering this small opening, the briquettes inside will burn very slowly, and there will be no waste of briquettes."
Liu Jin looked at everyone, smiled and continued to demonstrate in person.
As Liu Jin covered the small opening of the briquette stove, the originally burning red coal stove quickly and slowly extinguished, with only a handful of briquettes at the bottom still burning very slowly.
People of later generations must have known that this was because there was insufficient oxygen, so it could not burn. As for the ancient people, they only needed to tell them to do this. As for the reason, there is naturally no need to explain it.
"If we need to use it, we can open the lid of the small opening and fan it from here, and it will soon be burning again."
