After saying this, Du He turned around and walked out.
Li Er and others were left looking at each other in the living room.
Chen Shuda stared for a long time and then said: "Did Du He run away?"
Everyone listened.
Probably!
Everyone got up and prepared to go outside to see if Du He had run away.
At this moment, the door opened and Du He walked in despite the cold wind.
"Well, Du He, you are finally back. Didn't you say the warmth will be here soon? Why is it still so cold now?" Chen Shuda stepped forward and pointed at Du He and asked.
Du He looked at Chen Shuda and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you are so anxious, you must have been impatient when you were young. I actually remembered a story, saying that there used to be a rich man named Chen Dafa.
Huang Dafa was notoriously impatient. When he was thirty years old, he suddenly wanted to have a son, so he took a bride. On the day of the wedding banquet, everyone urged Huang Dafa to quickly enter the bridal chamber with his bride. Who knew that Huang Dafa was anxious and shouted
,What kind of hole is the hole? Why don’t you just give birth to a son..."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone understood and burst into laughter.
At this time, Hou Junji suddenly said curiously: "Hey, why do I feel a heat coming from behind me?"
Everyone also felt that the room seemed much warmer than before.
Everyone came behind Hou Junji one after another and stretched out their hands to touch the wall. It was hot.
Then I looked at the surrounding walls. Even at half a person's height, they were all very warm.
Everyone was amazed.
It didn't take long for the temperature in the living room to gradually rise, and the severe cold was no longer there.
The people who used to rely on shivering to stay warm no longer shivered.
Changsun Wuji also threw aside the quilt on his body.
Hou Junji suddenly said: "I want to see my bed!"
When everyone heard this, they followed him one after another.
Everyone came to a room on the first floor and saw Hou Junji lying on the bed, laughing and saying: "The bed is warm... If you don't believe it, just touch it."
As expected, a few people who were close to Lao Hou went up and touched him.
"hot!"
“Warm, exactly the same as when we stayed that night!”
Everyone said excitedly.
Then, everyone turned their heads and stared at Du He.
Hou Junji asked curiously: "Du He, tell me honestly, when will this brick become hot?"
Du He was overjoyed and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Actually, bricks don't generate heat at all."
"It doesn't generate heat? Then why is the bed hot and the wall below it too?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Du He waved his hand: "Everyone, please follow me!"
Du He led a group of people out of the house, left the living room, came outside, pointed to a corner of the yard, and said, "The secret is there!"
Take a look, isn't this the kitchen?
When everyone walked in, they discovered that in the kitchen, in addition to the two stoves, there was a hole in the wall near the living room. Above the hole, a wooden stick supported a piece of iron sheet. Take a closer look.
, inside was a blazing charcoal fire, and two Taoyuanju guards were fanning it fiercely with huge fans. The charcoal fire was burning very brightly.
Everyone was immediately confused.
Hou Junji pulled Du He over and said angrily: "Du He, what do you mean, you dug a hole in the wall of our house and lit a fire here. Do you want to burn my villa?"
Du He said with a smile: "Don't be excited, Mr. Hou, listen to me. This is called a fireplace. It is my original creation. As the name suggests, it is a stove hanging on the wall. It is specially used for heating. Just add charcoal or even firewood to it.
, In a short time, the entire villa will become very warm. If there is no fire here, the walls and beds in the villa will not heat up. The reason is that simple!"
It turns out that this is the reason why bricks get hot?
How is this different from roasting over a fire?
Someone asked: "Marquis of Huyi County, what's the difference between this and charcoal heating? Isn't this a lie for you to sell this villa for 10,000 guan?"
Du He was not angry and said with a smile: "Of course there is a difference. First, as long as my fireplace is on, the whole villa will be hot. Second, charcoal fires not only produce smoke and dust, but also easily catch fire. You don't know that every winter in Chang'an
Fires broke out in the city, and it was caused by the people warming up the fire accidentally, but my fireplace is very clean, safe, and very comfortable..."
Everyone nodded.
Li Er asked curiously: "Du He, your fireplace is in the kitchen, why can the whole villa feel warm?"
Du He glanced at the crowd and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple. When the villa was first built, several empty passages were left in the walls of the villa. The wall of the living room is about half a person's height, and there is a half circle.
These passages lead under the beds in each room at the same time, so once you live here, the heat will flow along the passages and connect throughout the villa."
Listen to it, everyone.
It turns out that the truth is so simple?
At the beginning, everyone spent a high price to buy the villa in Duhe. Among other things, they were interested in the bricks that would heat themselves.
Who knows, as Du He said, bricks don't generate heat at all.
Although everyone could accept Du He's explanation, they felt that their intelligence had been insulted.
"Du He, aren't you lying? How can this villa be sold at such an expensive price?" Someone said, not happy.
Du He pointed at the man and asked: "Have you thought of such a clever method before?"
The man shook his head.
Du He asked again: "Is there anyone else who can build such a villa that day?"
"without……"
Du He spread his hands: "That's it, I thought of what you can't think of and what no one else can think of. That's why I can sell it so expensively!"
"Knowledge is money!"
"I rely on knowledge to make money, what's wrong with it? How can I call it a lie?"
"When I bought the house, I not only had a contract to buy the house, but also a life guide, which clearly stated it. How can you slander me now?"
What Du He said was righteous and heartbreaking.
When everyone saw it, they had nothing to say.
If you reason with Du He, won't you make yourself uncomfortable?
Du He waved his hand: "It's over, let's go back and light a fire, otherwise we will catch the cold again tonight..."
Everyone left one after another.
Du He also hummed a little tune and left.
He thought about this problem before he sold the house. He thought these guys would bring it up when he bought the house, but unexpectedly, they ignored it one by one and didn't realize it until he actually moved in.
Poor Changsun Wuji actually caught a cold!
Thinking of Changsun Wuji wrapped in a thick quilt and sniffing, Du He felt very good.
After walking out of Taoyuanju, Du He turned around and saw white swallows rising from the chimneys of every villa. The smoke was rising across the river for several miles, like an ink painting.
Du He scratched his head and smiled mischievously: "Do you want to tell them that there is actually a more economical and cost-effective way... Hehe..."
