Chapter 132 briquettes, stove
The next day, when Zhang Junping came back from Qingning Palace, the blacksmith had already brought over the built stove and the tools for processing coal balls.
Zhang Junping checked it and said with a smile: "Liu Dajiang's craftsmanship is indeed superb! This stove is very good! I am also very satisfied with this tool! Uncle Fu gave Liu Dajiang a reward of 100 stale money!"
"I dare not, I dare not! The old man delayed Zhang Guanren's affairs, how could he ask for a reward again!" Liu Blacksmith quickly refused.
According to Zhang Junping's request, samples were taken out yesterday, but this chimney was too labor-intensive. There was no finished iron sheet in this era. It had to be hit by blacksmiths and all of them were hit by hammers, which took half a day.
Zhang Junping didn't care about the time wasted, and it was not easy to build it.
"Haha! Liu Dajiang, no need to refuse. I am very satisfied with the stove you made, especially this chimney, which took a lot of effort!
This reward is what you deserve, just take it with peace of mind!
There are also benefits for you when you look back!" Zhang Junping laughed.
"Thank you, Guanren Zhang, for the reward! The old man is ashamed of receiving it!"
"This is an appreciation for your craftsmanship! It is an appreciation for the spirit of craftsmanship that strives for excellence! You don't need to thank you or panic!
I will take it with peace of mind and give you this money. I hope you can put more energy into improving your skills and not be distracted by your livelihood!" Zhang Junping walked to Liu Blacksmith and patted his shoulder hard.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I will do my best to improve my skills..." After Zhang Junping's pat, the excitement of the blacksmith Liu was crying and choked and couldn't speak.
After sending Liu Blacksmith away, Zhang Junping came to the side yard and ordered a man from his hometown, "Dong Bo, collect the powder of the carbonite and then make some yellow mud!"
"Here!" Zhang Dong agreed and ran to collect the carbonite powder and yellow mud.
The Zhang family originally had ready-made charcoal, and the powder was easy to collect. There were a lot of charcoal piles, and a large amount was collected in a short while.
"According to 20% yellow mud and 80% carbohydrate powder, add water and mix together!
There is no need to be a lot of water, add water slowly..." Zhang Junping directed Zhang Dong to put together the carbonite powder and yellow mud, and make a pile of coal slime out.
"Brother Dong, look at me, I'll do it again, this is very simple!"
Zhang Junping picked up the tool for making coal balls and poked the coal slime. The coal ball machine was stuffed with coal slime. Then he gently stepped on the push plate on the flat ground, and a honeycomb coal ball fell out of the coal ball machine.
"Did you see it? It's very simple. First, stuff it with coal slime. You can step on it and step hard, so that the coal slime inside is more solid!
Then gently step on the push plate and the coal balls came out!” Zhang Junping explained to Zhang Dong again before handing him the coal ball machine and asked him to start making coal balls.
The production of honeycomb coal is very simple. Zhang Dong learned it after reading it. Soon more than a dozen honeycomb coals appeared on the ground.
Zhang Junping and others were drying a little before they were moved to the living room in the front yard.
He assembled the stove and chimney by himself, and the chimney directly pierced the window paper and stretched out from the window!
Then someone finds some wood charcoal, puts it in the stove and ignites it. When the wood charcoal starts to burn, then puts the honeycomb coal in and makes the same newly created water bottle on top.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the temperature rose significantly in the room.
"Uncle Fu, what about this thing?"
"Magic, it's so amazing! It's burning charcoal, and there is no odor in the room!
Moreover, it is warmer than the brazier you burn on weekdays!" Zhang Fu shouted in surprise.
"The most amazing thing is that what Langjun burns is to make this with charcoal powder and mud..."
"This is called honeycomb coal!"
"Yes, honeycomb coal! The carbonite powder is not valuable at all. No one wants anything. Langjun plus yellow mud and water, it turns into honeycomb coal!
It's so amazing!" Zhang Fu was surprised repeatedly.
"Haha! Uncle Fu, urge Blacksmith Liu to make all his efforts to build this stove and provide such a stove to every room in the mansion as soon as possible!" Zhang Junping chuckled, very satisfied with Zhang Fu's surprised expression.
"Here!" Zhang Fu quickly agreed.
"Uncle Fu, you arrange someone to invite the four major grain merchants to the palace for a lecture." Zhang Junping then ordered.
"Here!" Zhang Fu turned around and arranged someone.
Although the Four Major Foods did not know what Zhang Junping had to ask them for, they had already lost hundreds of thousands of yuan because of Zhang Junping. Thinking of Zhang Junping's fierceness and not wanting to offend him for this little thing, they rushed to the Zhang Mansion one after another.
"Hahaha! Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhou, the four foreigners are here, and they are in a bad mood to welcome you. Hum, Hum!" Zhang Junping stood in the main hall, clasped his fists at the four foreigners, and said polite words.
The four men rolled their eyes secretly, saying that they were pretty, but we all went into the yard and didn't see you going out to meet you.
Thinking of this in my heart, I was still busy and polite, "I dare not, I dare not, how dare I ask Guanren Zhang to greet him. It's really a slap in us!"
"Four outsiders, please come in, and have tea in the house!"
"Nonsense, don't let us enter the house, and are you planning to let us stand in the yard and listen to you?" The four officials walked into the living room with their hearts in their hearts.
"Uncle Fu, serve tea!
The four foreigners were compassionate and stable in grain prices, which did a great deed of great merit for the people of Kaifeng Prefecture!
Good tea!" Zhang Junping ordered Zhang Fu who followed in.
"Your surnamed Zhang asked us to come because you were mocking us?
Who doesn’t know that you are forcing us to sell food at a low price!” Mr. Ma felt uncomfortable and secretly complained.
Mr. Li's face was also astonished, and his heart was so painful. My money!
He cursed in his heart: "Oh, your surname is Zhang. Your grandfather has lost more than 100,000 yuan. He is still ridiculed by his grandfather. He is really not a son!"
"Haha! What different can the four members of the staff enter my room?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile without caring about the unsightly looks of the four members of the staff.
"The room of Zhang Guanren is naturally different from that of our humble houses. As soon as the young man came in, he felt a sense of wealth coming to his face!" Zhou Yuanwai said flatteringly with a wry smile.
"Haha! The spirit of wealth?
The living room of the four members of the staff is truly wealthy and powerful. Compared with the living room of the four members of the staff, I can only be considered a humble room!" Zhang Junping smiled.
"Different, different. I am poor and not as good as Zhang Guanren's family. Zhang Guanren's family is truly unparalleled.
In this room, the cold air was much more repelled by Zhang Guanren's wealth. Although there was no brazier in the room, it was much warmer than the brazier I had at home!" Zhou Yuanwai continued to flatter.
