    More and more people gathered at the entrance of Xishan Coal Store. Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang also just came over and stood aside quietly, watching silently.

    "Is this coal stove durable?"

    Someone picked up a briquette stove and looked at it carefully, and seemed to be quite moved.

    "Why isn't it durable? Didn't you see that it's all wrapped in iron sheets?"

    ¡°You can buy one and use it for ten to eight years without any problems. Moreover, it occupies a small area and can save money on starting a stove. In terms of mobility, you can put it down anywhere you want.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not a waste of materials. To be honest, we didn¡¯t make a penny from this coal stove.¡±

    The waiter in the shop was not happy when he heard this. He quickly picked up a coal stove and banged the iron sheet on it hard.

    When everyone heard this, they all nodded. In the era of salt and iron franchise, the price of iron was never cheap. How could a coal stove made of iron sheets be of such poor quality?

    "It's quite cheap. Is this briquette really as useful as you say?"

    Someone else spoke up.

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s easy to use and very convenient. Come on, I¡¯ll demonstrate it to you personally. You¡¯ll understand it at a glance.¡±

    When the waiter heard this, he nodded repeatedly, and then began to demonstrate it himself just like when Liu Jin taught it to them.

    "For the first time, we need to burn the briquettes red. Just burn one or two pieces."

    "Then put the red-hot briquettes at the bottom, and then add coals on top."

    "When we need to use the fire, we open the lid of this small opening and fan it inside, so that the briquettes in the stove can be burned quickly."

    "This briquette is very resistant to burning. After it burns white, it means that the briquettes inside have been burned out. We will take out the bottom briquettes and put them back layer by layer, adding new briquettes on top.  That¡¯s it.¡±

    The waiter Liu Jin, a well-rounded scholar, demonstrates and explains at the same time. It is very simple, and people around him can understand it at a glance, and there is no difficulty at all.

    ¡°Another advantage of our Xishan Coal Industry¡¯s briquette stove is that if we don¡¯t need to use the fire, we can cover the small opening here, so that the briquettes inside will quickly and slowly extinguish.  , just a little bit burning.¡±

    "When we need it, we open the lid and fan it, and it will start burning again soon, so that we don't have to re-light the fire every time we use it. It's very convenient."

    While the waiter was demonstrating, he also kept boasting about himself.

    "It's really good. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that it can catch fire quickly is very rare."

    Some people couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads after reading it. Making a fire was simple in later generations, but in ancient times, it was definitely not an easy task.

    Those with firewood are better, and you can light a fire quickly. If there is no firewood, it will be difficult to make a fire, especially on rainy days when the purchased firewood is wet or damp. It is even more difficult to make a fire.

    The price of these fire dumplings is not cheap, and most people are reluctant to buy them, so cooking, boiling water, and heating have always been inconvenient.

    "It's indeed not bad, waiter, are you really going to get five briquettes for free if you buy a coal stove today?"

    Someone nodded and started discussing with the waiter.

    "Of course, this activity of giving away briquettes for buying a coal stove is only available today, so hurry up if you want it."

    The waiter nodded repeatedly.

    "Boss, give me a single-core coal stove and 5 briquettes."

    Some people immediately started spending money, ready to buy it back and give it a try.

    "Okay~"

    Finally, the bill was opened, and the waiter in the store also shouted happily: "One single-core coal stove, 5 briquettes, including the 5 complimentary briquettes, a total of 10 briquettes, always 60 Wen~"

    "Bring me a three-core coal stove and 20 briquettes. I won't have to buy firewood in the future, and I can save a lot of money."

    Someone started to speak, and someone else immediately followed.

    "I also want a three-core coal stove and 20 briquettes~"

    "I want it too, a single-core coal stove and 5 briquettes~"

    When other people saw it, they immediately started shouting and scrambling for the first place, fearing that if they missed it, they would not be able to take advantage.

    "Don't be anxious, don't?, our store has sufficient supply, everyone lines up, everyone has something~¡±

    When the waiter saw this posture, he also said quickly.

    As the waiter finished speaking, the people around him slowly formed a queue. At the same time, more people came to consult. After the consultation was completed, more people lined up, and soon a long queue formed.

    "You can find someone to buy some and take it back. I want to see if it's really useful."

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at this scene, thought for a while and gave instructions to Xiao Jing beside him.

    "Yes~"

    Xiao Jing replied respectfully, and then gave instructions to a guard next to him, and soon the guard also went to line up.

    "Old man, what are you doing?"

    Here, Emperor Hongzhi also came to Changlong. When he saw an old man with white hair, he also asked warmly.

    The old man looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and then at the people around Emperor Hongzhi. He knew that the man in front of him was either rich or noble, so he did not dare to neglect him. He said respectfully: "To your honor, we are buying briquettes."

    ¡°What¡¯s so special about this briquette that it¡¯s worth queuing up for?¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi smiled and asked again.

    "I don't know what's so special about it. I just know that this briquette is cheap. The nobles may not know that this charcoal has already reached nearly 600 yuan per load, and the firewood is also in it."  The prices keep rising, and we ordinary people really can¡¯t bear it.¡±

    The old man said very honestly that for people at the bottom like them, cheap and practical are the best.

    "If this briquette is really useful, we will have an easier time this winter, otherwise we don't know how many people will freeze to death."

    ¡°Old man, someone around you froze to death?¡±

    Although Emperor Hongzhi already knew that people in the capital froze to death every day, he still pretended to be surprised.

    "There is no one who doesn't freeze to death this winter. Some people freeze to death every year. Just yesterday, my next door neighbor, Lao Li, who is about the same age as me, froze to death. The firewood and charcoal are too expensive, and the weather  The colder it is, the more expensive it is. Winter is the hardest for us ordinary people. If we buy firewood for heating, we don¡¯t have much money to buy food. If we buy food, we don¡¯t have money to buy firewood and charcoal for heating.¡±

    "It's a difficult day~"

    "I hope that if the briquettes from Xishan Coal Industry are as useful as they say, this winter will be easier."

    Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi, a noble man, was willing to listen to him, the old man was also very talkative, so he began to chatter. The hardships of the life of the lower class people were suddenly displayed in front of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
