Chapter 171

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?

In the past, Yan Dechang didn't agree with Yan Liqiang's statement, but now, even he wavered. Thinking of this, looking at the thing drawn by Yan Liqiang, Yan Dechang asked a question, "Li Qiang, what do you call the thing you made?"

"This coal is called..." Yan Liqiang just said four words.

"Wait a minute, let me guess..." before Yan Liqiang said the three words of honeycomb briquette, Qian Su next to him suddenly opened his mouth. Qian Su carefully looked at the picture drawn by Yan Liqiang, frowned tightly, and then stretched out, "is this thing called lotus root knot coal? Look at these pores. Do they look like cut lotus root knots!"

Lotus root? Yan Liqiang blinked and looked at the honeycomb briquette he painted. Don't say it. Qian Su said it was like a lotus root. It's really right at all.

"Li Qiang, do you think I guessed right?"

"Yes, this is lotus root and coal saving. Uncle Qian's insight is so small that Li Qiang admires it!" Yan Liqiang said with a straight face, and gave Qian Su a thumbs up at the same time.

"I'll tell you, Li Qiang, you must have something taught by God and man in your dream. The name must be immortal..." Qian Su touched his beard and looked very pleased.

"What does uncle Qian think of this business?"

"If the coal ash is mixed with loess and can burn up, the business is a golden mountain that can't eat up!" Qian Su's face slowly became serious, revealing a thoughtful look, "this business is too big for the craftsman's and equipment camp to eat at a draught. If you just let the craftsman's and equipment camp do these things, it would be a waste. There are many people in the craftsman's and equipment camp. Once this thing is done, people haven't made much money. Others will see it at a glance, and the secret can't be kept, Someone will copy it immediately. If more people copy it, the price of lotus root coal will not go up and the money will be less. Moreover, this thing should have large sales and sufficient profits in cities like Pingxi city. If you can grasp the supply of lotus root coal in Pingxi City, it is difficult to make a fortune. If you want to do it, you'd better find one or two powerful partners to do it together, Wrap up Pingxi city... "Speaking of this, Qian Su saw Yan Liqiang smiling and speechless. He immediately reacted and guessed Yan Liqiang's mind. He laughed at once, pointed to Yan Liqiang and shook his head with a smile." Li Qiang, you really even count on your uncle Qian. Well, I'll go with you tomorrow... "

Yan Li forced to smile. "Thank you, uncle Qian, but it's not just in your name. I really need to rely on Uncle Qian's help. My father and uncle Qian count together. No matter how much shares we finally talk about, one of you will account for half. This is really going to happen. Uncle Qian, you can live in Yixiang hospital 365 days in the future..." "live in Yixiang hospital every day, How many years can my bone live... "Qian Su laughed“ What are you two talking about? I'm getting more and more confused... "Yan Dechang next to him looked at Qian Su and Yan Liqiang. He looked blankly. He didn't know what kind of riddle they were fighting“ Li Qiang wanted to bring the Lu family in first... "Qian Su explained“ Li Qiang, do you really want to do this business? How do I feel that you have spread the stall so large at once, which is a little uneasy... "Yan Dechang said with worry“ Dad, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety. Uncle Qian and we only give advice on this business. We don't invest much money and account for a lot of shares. We just make a few friends first and earn people first... "Yan Dechang naturally has nothing to say The next day, the heavy snow began to fall. In the heavy snow, Yan Dechang left the craftsmanship camp and returned to Qinghe County in a carriage. After lunch, Yan Liqiang and Qian Su rode on rhinoceros horses and headed for landing villa... Before they reached lujiazhuang, they had just walked halfway. There was a hillside in front of them, which was a three fork road, The sound of the ground shaking came from the corner of the front hillside. Listening to the sound, at least hundreds of riders were galloping along. Yan Liqiang and Qian Su, who were chatting, looked at each other, slowed down their horse speed and let the horse stand by the road. So many rhinoceros and horses run along the road together. It's very scary. It's like a lot of people racing on the highway. If they accidentally hit head-on, some of the other party's riding skills are difficult to control. Once someone lands at this time, their lives may be in danger, so they are both careful. After just a few breaths, a large number of heavily armed cavalry with bows and guns turned from the hillside. The cavalry did not look at Yan Liqiang and Qian su. After turning the hillside, they went angrily directly to the other side of Sancha road... "Ah, these cavalry are elite stationed in Pingxi city. How could they rush to Huanglong county?" Yan Liqiang said to Qian Su in surprise. Looking at the direction of the cavalry leaving, Qian Su frowned. "Let's go to lujiazhuang first..." well... "The two continued to walk towards the front. Unexpectedly, after they had just walked for a few minutes, a large number of riders appeared on the road ahead. There were forty or fifty riders, each wearing a cloak and a red headband, Braving the wind and snow, waving a whip and riding a rhinoceros dragon horse, they rushed after the cavalry in front... The cavalry in the back knew from their dress that they were all Rangers. Something happened, something must have happened... Yan Liqiang and Qian Su looked at each other and stopped at the same time“ Uncle Qian, look... "Yan Liqiang shouted“ This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
