Chapter 272 How to make a coal stove with coal balls, go back first
Yuyu's eyes sparkled as she walked over and said, "System, please write down the method for making coal briquettes and coal stoves on a piece of paper for me. Once the coal is dug out, we can use it. This way, it will be more convenient for everyone to use the coal."
The system's voice rang directly in Yuyu's mind: "Okay, Yuyu, I'll sort it out for you right away."
After a while, a piece of paper appeared out of thin air in Yu Yu's little hand.
Yuyu excitedly read the contents of the paper, which detailed the method for making coal briquettes: "First, finely crush the excavated coal. Then, mix it with an appropriate amount of loess and water in a certain proportion. Stir thoroughly until it forms wet coal mud that can be shaped. Then, use your hands or a special mold to roll the coal mud into balls. Place them in a well-ventilated place to dry. The coal briquettes made in this way will burn longer and are also convenient for storage and use."
Scrolling down, the recipe for a coal stove is: "Choose thick clay or iron sheet. If using clay, knead it first. Then, slowly shape it according to the desired shape of the stove, leaving out key areas like the stove mouth, vents, and the hearth for the charcoal fire. Use tools to carefully polish it until it's smooth, then place it in the kiln and fire it."
"If it's made of sheet iron, cut the corresponding plates to size and assemble them through welding or other methods. Also, leave out the key parts. Once that's done, give the surface of the furnace some rust-proofing, and you're done. The coal stove can be used for heating and cooking."
Yuyu was watching it very seriously, muttering to himself: "Wow, it's so interesting. Once I learn it, I can teach everyone."
She carefully folded the paper, put it in her arms, and ran to Cheng Chumo again, ready to tell him the good news.
After Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao had arranged everything properly, Cheng Chumo waved his hand and shouted with full energy: "Alright, alright, let's get started!"
The voice echoed over the mine, full of energy and expectation.
Qin Huaidao also echoed loudly from the side: "Everyone, cheer up. With the start of work today, we are looking forward to our coal mine becoming more and more prosperous in the future. Let's work with all our strength!"
Following this order, the recruited workers picked up their tools, carried pickaxes, pushed carts, and walked towards the entrance of the mine in an orderly manner.
Shi Wu was the first to take the lead, shouting, "Let's go, brothers, we have to work hard and show Master Cheng and Master Qin how powerful we are!"
For a moment, the mine was bustling with activity, with the clang of pickaxes digging the ground, the creaking of wheelbarrows, and the shouts of workers encouraging each other intertwined together.
Yuyu stood not far away, watching the bustling scene of the start of work, her face flushed with excitement. She cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng, Brother Qin, come on, everyone, come on!"
The dog also barked a few times, as if to cheer everyone on.
Yuyu trotted over to Cheng Chumo, raised the piece of paper in her hand, and said crisply, "By the way, Brother Cheng, this is the method for making coal briquettes and a coal stove. I just got it from... uh, from someone else. It's very detailed. When we dig out the coal, we can make it according to this. It will be more convenient for everyone to use it then."
Cheng Chumo was pleasantly surprised. He took the paper and read it carefully. He nodded constantly as he read and said with a smile, "Yuyu, you've been a real help. I was just worried about how to make better use of the coal we dig out in the future. With this method, we can not only make coal into briquettes for easy storage and use, but also make a suitable coal stove. That's great."
Qin Huaidao also came over and took a curious look at the contents on the paper: "Yuyu, you are quite capable. Where did you get such a useful thing? This can save us a lot of trouble. When the coal is mined, we can try to operate according to the method on it."
Yuyu scratched his head and chuckled, "It was just a coincidence. As long as it's useful to us, it's fine. I hope our coal mine will become more and more prosperous."
When the workers around heard about it, they all gathered around and talked about it, and were very curious about the production methods of coal balls and coal stoves.
Everyone felt that the future of the coal mine seemed brighter, and they were more motivated. The scene of the start of work became more lively and orderly.
Cheng Chumo finished reading the contents of the paper and carefully put it away. Then he looked up at the sky and said to everyone, "Today's work has gone smoothly. Everything is on track. We have been here for quite a while. Why don't we go back?"
Qin Huaidao nodded and replied, "Alright, after all the hard work today, I have to go back and have a good rest. Besides, there are still many things to plan later. Let's go back to Zuixianlou and discuss it in detail."
When Yuyu heard that they were going back to Zuixianlou, she jumped up happily, grabbed Cheng Chumo's clothes and said, "Okay, let's go back. I'm a little hungry. Let's go back and ask Chef Mi to make me something delicious."
The workers around them smiled and responded, "Master Cheng, Master Qin, you can go back now. We're keeping an eye on things here, so nothing will go wrong. Don't worry."
Cheng Chumo smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work. Everyone has worked hard. If anything happens, please send someone to Zuixianlou to inform us in time."
After saying that, Cheng Chumo turned around and walked back with Qin Huaidao and Yu Yu, and the dog followed them happily.
The group walked further and further away, leaving behind only the still bustling sounds of work in the mine.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were walking on the way back to Zuixianlou, still thinking about the piece of paper that Yuyu brought with the method of making coal balls and coal stoves.
Cheng Chumo took out the paper from his arms again, and looked at it carefully again with Qin Huaidao as they walked.
Cheng Chumo watched and muttered, "Look at what they say about making coal briquettes. The ratio of crushed coal to loess and water has to be just right. Otherwise, the briquettes will either be too loose and difficult to shape, or won't burn smoothly."
Qin Huaidao leaned closer and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Brother Cheng, and the production of this coal stove, whether it is made of clay or iron, the size and structure of each part are very important. It is related to the ventilation and combustion effect. Let's go back and find some skilled craftsmen to try to make a few according to the method above."
Cheng Chumo folded the paper and carefully put it back into his robe. He said, "That's right, Huai Dao. Once the coal mine produces coal, we will immediately start preparing these things. If these coal briquettes and coal stoves are ready, the use of this coal will be even greater. By then, it will be convenient for the people in Chang'an to use it, and the income of our coal mine will probably be even higher."
Qin Huaidao responded with a smile: "Of course, our plan will definitely make this go smoothly. In the future, the coal mining industry will be in our hands and will become more and more prosperous."
As they talked, they quickened their pace, thinking of returning to Zuixianlou as soon as possible to think about the many subsequent matters. Their faces were full of anticipation.
