Chapter 259 Coal Lotus Root

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the morning of the third day of the lunar month, Zhao Hao went to the backyard kitchen to take a look and saw that the briquettes had been dried.

    After breakfast, the young lord also arrived, and naturally the little county master was accompanying him everywhere.

    "Hey, the county master is here too." Zhao Hao was standing in the courtyard, instructing his disciples to make preparations for the test.

    "Good day, big brother." Li Mingyue said to Zhao Haofu in a soft voice: "My mother was worried that my brother would violate the law, so she ordered my little sister to accompany him to prevent him from going elsewhere."

    Li Chengen was stunned when he heard this. Is this true?  Right?  It was obvious that when I was about to go out, you insisted on following me, right?

    "That's really hard work, girl." Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know what evil the county master had done in his previous life to end up with such an inconsiderate brother.

    "It doesn't matter, as long as my brother can learn well, it doesn't matter if my sister works harder?" Li Mingyue said, glancing at Li Chengen with a smile to prevent him from saying anything inappropriate again.

    Li Chengen moved his mouth a few times, and finally turned the truth of the matter into a rotten secret in his stomach.

    But I heard a burst of cheerful laughter from above my head.

    He looked up and saw the governor's son, who was looking after the door and sweeping the floor, sitting on the roof, pointing at himself and laughing loudly.

    ??~~

    Today is the last day of Zhao Shixi¡¯s New Year¡¯s holiday. Tomorrow, he will engage in enjoyable and intense training.

    And the entertainment venues in the capital only opened their doors on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest Therefore, instead of spending Zhao Shixi's tickets, one ticket became two.

    This has made Xiwa feel very depressed in recent days. She has been lying on the roof basking in the sun, not wanting to pay attention to anyone.

    Until he heard the conversation between the three people below, he knew that Li Chengen had also been left to Zhao Hao¡¯s discipline by his mother.

    Zhao Shixi immediately felt that in this world, good and evil are rewarded.

    So he pointed at Li Chengen on the roof and burst out laughing.

    "I didn't expect you to be here today, right? Do you still have the nerve to laugh at me?"

    When the young prince saw it was him, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "Then I am your uncle too."

    "Your uncle!"

    "Your uncle!"

    The two of them went up and down, facing each other like fighting cocks.

    Zhao Hao's disciples shook their heads as they watched, saying that the master was working too hard.  In addition to teaching geniuses like us, we also have to discipline mentally retarded children.

    "Brother, don't argue with others" Li Mingyue couldn't stand it anymore and timidly pulled the young lord's hand, while using the cover of his sleeves to squeeze him hard.

    Then, while everyone was looking at the roof, she threatened in a low voice in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you embarrass me again, you will be dead!"

    Li Chengen¡¯s expression was distorted in pain.  But seeing the girl's kind eyes, he had no choice but to endure the pain and force a smile: "That's all, I don't have the same knowledge as a janitor."

    "You're just an apprentice." Zhao Shixi looked as proud as a victorious rooster.

    "Have you said enough?" Zhao Hao turned back and glanced at Zhao Shixi.

    The fighting cock suddenly turned into cross-eyes. Zhao Shixi¡¯s legs went weak and he almost fell off the house

    ??~~

    By the time Zhao Hao and Li Mingyue finished taking care of the problem children, the apprentices were ready for the experiment.

    In the spirit of scientific experiments, Zhao Hao asked them to prepare three rooms and three charcoal basins.

    The disciples first gathered the charcoal basins in the first room.

    Then he explained to the county head brother and sister: "These three basins are filled with ordinary loose coal, coal lotus root made of ordinary loose coal, and high-quality anthracite."

    "Yeah." At this moment, not only Li Mingyue, but also Li Chengen showed a curious look, wanting to see what Zhao Hao was going to do.

    ??When young people are curious by nature, how can they not be interested in new and unprecedented scientific experiments?

    "Come on, let's light them separately." Zhao Hao snapped his fingers.

    The first senior brother and the second senior brother went to light the two pots of loose coal respectively.

    They both helped Qiaoqiao light the fire in Caijiaxiang. If it were the junior brothers, they might not be able to light it.

    But even the two experienced senior brothers had to light the charcoal before they could ignite the coal in the basin.

    And Zhao Shizhen only used the tinder from the lamp to light a piece of coal lotus root.

    "So easy?" The young prince was surprised. In his impression, charcoal was difficult to light.  You must first use charcoal to start the fire like Er Yang did.

    Although he is an unconventional young man, he still has this bit of common sense.

      "Because this piece of coal lotus root is mixed with sawdust." Zhao Hao said with a faint smile: "The other two ordinary pieces of coal lotus root are not so good. But if this one catches fire, they will also burn."

    "Wonderful." Li Chengen couldn't help but praise.

    "That's right, eldest brother is the most capable" Li Mingyue held her chin in her hands when she said this. She didn't know whether it was due to the cold or something else.

    When the other two pots were lit, Zhao Hao ordered Er Yang to carry them into the other two rooms.

    Then everyone followed Wang Wuyang into the room that burned ordinary coal.

    After a while, everyone was choked by the billowing smoke.

    "Cough cough cough" Amidst the coughs one after another, the young ladies from wealthy families finally realized why the people of the capital guarded this inexhaustible energy source only when they had no other choice.  Only then did they burn coal for cooking and heating.

    This soot is terrible.  As long as the coal stove is lit, the room will be filled with thick smoke and there will be no room for anyone.

    Zhao Hao took people into the room where the anthracite was burned again. It was much better here, at least there was no smoke.

    "This kind of white coal is really good. I heard that many people use it to replace firewood." Wang Dingjue said down-to-earth: "But it is still a bit choking, so rich people still burn charcoal."

    "Yeah." Everyone nodded in agreement. Although no smoke can be seen when this so-called 'anthracite' burns, it will still choke people if it is left nearby for a long time.

    And Li Mingyue discovered that a thin layer of soot had fallen on her brand-new white velvet cloak at some point

    She didn¡¯t enter the first room just now, so she could only have fallen here.

    Finally, they entered the room where the briquettes were burning.

    Everyone was surprised to find that the coal lotus root made of ordinary coal had no smoke and no choking after burning for so long

    "How come there is no cigarette?"

    ¡°Why is there no cigarette?!¡±

    ¡°And it¡¯s not choking!¡±

    Looking at everyone¡¯s stunned look, Zhao Haoxin said that this formula of briquettes is still being used on a large scale in rural areas four hundred years later. Wouldn¡¯t it shock you to make it easier and more enjoyable?

    ¡°There¡¯s no soot yet¡­¡± The little county owner touched the tabletop and saw that his fingers were as clean as ever, and he couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed.

    "You are observing very carefully." Zhao Hao nodded approvingly

    Li Mingyue felt as if she had eaten honey, her heart and face were all sweet.

    But everyone looked at Zhao Hao and asked him what was going on?

    "I'm going to tell you directly, I'm afraid you won't be impressed." Mr. Zhao put his hands behind his back and said to the students with a smile: "Why don't you try to use scientific methods and study it yourself?"

    "What is the scientific method?" The young prince felt that he knew very little

    "It is a method of conducting research under the guidance of scientific spirit." Wuyang and Zhao Shizhen gathered around the pot of fire and observed it carefully.
