Chapter 171 (1/2)

Yes, the way Yan Liqiang said to sell soil as expensive as coal is honeycomb briquette.

When he came to the craftsman's camp and saw Qian Su talking about coal in the coal yard, he had thought of honeycomb briquette at that time.

In this era, people who have really burned coal stoves know that people who buy coal like to buy large pieces of coal, because fine coal is not easy to burn and burn in traditional stoves. Those fine coal, like sand, are put more in the stoves, and may even put out the firewood for fire, so it is difficult to sell fine coal. When everyone goes to buy coal, those fine coal, They are all sold together with the coal in the big head. Because the coal supply in Pingxi county is tight all of a sudden, the coal quality of the craftsman's equipment camp is not good, and the fine coal that is not easy to burn accounts for a considerable part.

These fine coals, which are not easy to burn, are troublesome to others. For Yan Liqiang, these fine coals are simply the best raw materials for making honeycomb briquette.

The most traditional formula of honeycomb briquette is 20% yellow soil, plus 80% pulverized coal, add a little lime, add some water, and an iron mold for honeycomb briquette.

Instead of coal, we should talk about loess, which is all over the mountains and fields. You don't need money at all. You can dig it at will. Lime is also very cheap. It's ready-made, and there's no problem with water. It's not difficult to make an iron mold for honeycomb briquette. It's simple to make an iron mold at Yan Liqiang's home or in the general's camp here.

The price of coal cinder and pulverized coal is lower than that of coal. After being mixed with loess to make honeycomb briquette, the honeycomb briquette of the same weight, even if it is only sold at the same price as ordinary coal, is also a business to turn loess into gold, with absolute huge profits. In fact, after it is really done, the honeycomb briquette should at least be sold a little more expensive than coal, and the profit is terrible.

Yan Liqiang asked Qian Su to find a carbon core and a board. On the board, while talking, he clearly drew the honeycomb briquette and the iron mold for manufacturing honeycomb briquette, so that the two people could see it more clearly at a glance.

For Qian Su and Yan Dechang, who saw honeycomb briquette for the first time, looking at the appearance of honeycomb briquette painted by Yan Liqiang on the drawing board, their mouths couldn't close after opening. They were both blacksmiths and it was common for them to burn a fire. They just saw the appearance of honeycomb briquette and knew the mystery.

Qian Su excitedly patted his thighs twice, ”wonderful, wonderful, it's really wonderful. The eyes on these coal balls can breathe naturally without being pulled out. The fire can burn up naturally. These air eyes are absolutely, absolutely...”

”Yes, yes, when burning charcoal or coal in the furnace, if the fire in the furnace is not prosperous, someone needs to take out the fire at any time, that is, leave an air hole on the fire pile, so as to help the fire and let the gas under the furnace come up. If there are these air holes on the coal ball, once the coal is burned, there is basically no need for people to take care of it!” Yan Dechang nodded and said. At the same time, he looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise. Even as Yan Liqiang's Lao Tzu, he felt that Yan Liqiang made him more and more invisible. Was it really given by Yan Liqiang when he met a god man in his dream?
