Chapter 54: Honeycomb stove

Views:

Zhuang Yu ran forward and reached out to touch the stone wall that was grabbed by the colorful Buddha mother.

The quality of the dark coal mine is not bad, absolutely unmistakable, a smile can't help but appear on the face, who said they don't have firewood to burn in the bare ground

In addition to firewood, there are actually many other things that can be used as fuel, but others don't know about it.

However, burning coal involves a problem, pollution.

This world is countless times larger than the forest area of the earth, and the self-regulation ability is also many times larger, but after all, burning coal will cause pollution.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, he would not sell the coal to the outside world, and controlled it to be used in Chidi.

Moreover, the heat energy generated by burning one catty of coal should be equivalent to burning many catties of firewood. He can't tell which one is more polluting, so he can only control it as much as possible.

On the earth, it is also because humans discovered coal, a new energy source, that the entire era has undergone tremendous progress. This is an important turning point in human history, and now Chidi City is also in urgent need of fuel.

The little mushroom saw that Zhuang Yu touched these black stones with his hands, and kept pulling Zhuang Yu. They are the most beautiful cubs, how could they make their hands black.

Brother Hanba also came up, "Young Master, is this what you're looking for?"

Zhuang Yu nodded.

Brother Hanba was a little confused. Didn't Shaojun say that what he was looking for could solve the problem of lack of firewood in Chidi City? How could it be some black stones

Zhuang Yu said, "When we go back, let people come to mine these coal mines. With the number of coal mines here, it is difficult for our Chidi City to lack firewood."

Brother Hanba opened his mouth, could it be that these stones can still be used as firewood

Can the stone be burned? If someone else said that, they could slap him to death, but when their young master said so, they both knelt down and began to study.

Two big men, facing a black stone, gesticulating excitedly, looked quite interesting.

Not only the Hanba brothers were extremely surprised, but even Shaohao looked around a piece of coal ore in surprise.

Yu was saying, can stones be used as firewood

Zhuang Yu walked over and said with a smile, "This is the secret of our Chidi City, you know, I will lock you up forever, every day..."

Shaohao: "..."

Why do you feel that Yu's eyes are twinkling, as if he is still thinking about other exciting things

Shaohao said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, even the people from Baidi City."

Zhuang Yu is actually just joking, Shaohao is sometimes very rigid, he still believes that Shaohao can keep it secret, just like pottery back then, he obviously watched the whole production process, and finally came to ask for his permission before telling Baidi City.

Such a serious person is sometimes annoying, but sometimes cute.

After they stayed for a while, they couldn't wait to return. He wanted someone to dig the coal mine back as soon as possible.

This location is about fifteen days away from Chidi City, which is about the same as the border from Chidi City to Baidi City.

At this time, the caravan of Chidi City, Jiaohong and Jiaodu have been fully active at the junction of the three forces in the past two days, and their caravan has recently spread far and wide.

Even the tribes farther away came to buy their snowflake salt.

Baidi City and Ruidi City don't buy their salt? It doesn't matter, they wait for a few more days at most, and it's the same when small marginal tribes come to buy it. Their salt is so good, are they afraid they won't be able to sell it

No one who has bought their salt has a bad reputation, which is the fundamental reason why the reputation of Snowflake Salt has spread so quickly.

Moreover, both Jiao Hong and Jiao believe that as long as they have used their Snowflake Salt, they will never go back to use Salt Stone, and they will definitely become their loyal repeat customers.

The people of Baidi City and Ruidi City heard that Snowflake Salt was so good, and the spread was amazing. Especially some small tribes looked at them with contempt and aloofness when they saw that they were still licking salt stones.

When did their Baidi City and Ruidi City start to be despised by small marginal tribes? It was an indescribable feeling.

People in Baidi City and Ruidi City were full of doubts. Is this Snowflake Salt really that magical? I heard that roasted meat is the best delicacy in the world, bar none.

Someone secretly went to the small tribe to share some snowflake salt, and also tried to roast meat, and then they stopped talking, and they would never go back to the time when they licked the salt stone.

But they can't buy it blatantly. Isn't this slapping themselves in the face? That pain in my heart. But looking at the salt stone, they really couldn't say anything.

A salt revolution began to spread around, and the news was quickly spread back to Baidi City and Ruidi City by spies.

After Baidi and Ruidi heard the news, they were also inexplicably shocked. The Red Emperor City actually started to produce salt. From then on, they might not be able to control each other through this aspect.

But isn't it just salt? Still want them Baidi City and Ruidi City to buy their salt? This is not a slap in the face, and it's not that they don't have salt stones.

So, Baidi and Ruidi ordered almost at the same time that their forces were not allowed to buy salt from Chidi City.

The more inland tribes in Baidi City and Ruidi City also think so. They can’t make money from Chidi City. They smashed their teeth and swallowed it in their stomachs. Now they want to make their money in reverse. There is no way. !

This is hard for those tribes who are close to the junction of the three parties, especially those who secretly went to the small tribes to exchange some snowflake salt. They are not allowed to buy snowflake salt from Chidi City, how can they bear it.

But they are also cunning, let them not buy the snowflake salt from Red Emperor City, they belong to the tribes of White Emperor City and Ruidi City, of course they can't disobey, but they can buy "Snowflake Salt" from other small marginal tribes.

However, these small tribes are also old and cunning. They didn't live very well in the first place. Now that the cost of salt has increased a lot, of course they feel distressed. At this time, Baidi City and Ruidi City actually buy snowflake salt from them

As soon as they rolled their eyes, they went to buy. Doesn't the transportation require manpower and material resources

As a result, the second-hand salt business started, and the price of course increased. These marginal tribes not only ate good salt, but made them a small profit, and they couldn't close their mouths with laughter.

Faced with the dissatisfaction of Baidi City and Ruidi City, these small tribes are all on the same caliber. If you think it is expensive, you can go to the caravan of Red Emperor City to buy it yourself.

But do they dare

Therefore, it is self-evident who is most injured by the order of Baidi and Ruidi.

After Jiao Hong and Jiao both sold out their salt, they waited for several days. These days, they were buying lambs, calves, and cuckoo birds. Looking at the full load, everyone in the caravan, The smile on his face never stopped.

After calculating the time, they should go back and tell all the clansmen the good news of how popular their salt is. I believe that Red Emperor City will have to cheer for a while.

After driving away the Thunder Beast, the caravan was ready to return.

But the caravan was stopped by someone. This is the place where the three forces meet, and their Chidi City is not weak here. It is also to ensure the safety of the caravan, so they are not afraid.

But when Jiao Hong and Jiao both ran to see the situation, they couldn't help being stunned.

Because there were only two people blocking the progress of their caravan, and they were still two children, two children who looked like beggars, their bodies were dirty, and there was a big package on their shoulders with sticks.

No matter how they looked at it, the two children were a little abnormally excited, and kept calling for something.

The people in the caravan were a little impatient, but let them push over the two children, and they were still not so cruel.

Both Jiao Hong and Jiao went up to listen.

"We know your young master, quickly take us to Chidi City."

"Yes, yes, we are good friends with your young master."

Both Jiao Hong and Jiao laughed. When did little beggars come to have a relationship with their young masters, but does this mean that their young masters are famous

I'm in a better mood, forget it, it's not hard for the two little beggars, just let them get out of the way.

Both Jiao Hong and Jiao went up and were about to speak.

At this time, the two children, whose faces were flushed with excitement, yelled loudly, "If you don't believe me, look at our underpants, our underpants are the same as what your young master wears."

Jiaohong and Hejiao were stunned for a moment. Although the two little beggars were extremely dirty and their underpants could hardly be seen from their original appearance, they could still tell the difference. They were not brought back by He Shaojun and Shaojun. Are the kids in the same style

The trousers Shaojun and the others wear are quite different from the animal skin skirt, so they are very easy to remember.

The two looked at each other and looked at the little beggar. Could it really have something to do with their young master

The two thought about it, anyway, there were only two children, and it didn't matter if they brought them back to Chidi City. When they met Shaojun, they would naturally know whether they were lying or not.

So, let the two children follow the caravan.

The two little beggars were so moved that they almost cried. Do you know how many dangers and hardships they have gone through? Now I have finally met people from Chidi City, and I am willing to take them with me.

Who else could these two be if they were not a fur hat and a feather head.

The two of them are courageous enough, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and the dangers in the jungle are unimaginable, even the most powerful giant beast warrior may overturn.

Looking at their current appearance, I know that they have suffered a lot, which is why they chose the route of tribal life, and their giant beasts also helped them a lot, allowing them to escape countless dangers.

Although their behemoths are not yet adults, they are of excellent breed. The little white deer in the leather cap has the blood of the divine beast Bai Ze, and the feather-headed behemoth has the blood of the divine bird of enlightenment.

Zhuang Yu and the others returned to Chidi City two days earlier than the caravan. As soon as they came back, Zhuang Yu called a tribe named Shifu.

The Stone Skin Clan looks very distinctive. They are strong but not tall, their skin is as rough as a rock, and everyone has a big beard.

It is actually impossible for a small tribe to survive in such a harsh environment in Chidi, so the nineteen tribes in Chidi City, except for the Golden Centipede tribe, can be regarded as big tribes.

The leader of the Stone Skin Department is named Shi Hammer. He looks like a standard Stone Skin Department. He is strong, short and rough, with a big beard. He still takes a sip from time to time with a water bag in his hand, and his body smells like alcohol.

Because I like to drink, I don’t know how many times I have been complained by people from the Green Mulberry Department. Alcohol is used to perform fire skills, how can I drink it like this, it is too wasteful.

It's a pity that these bearded men couldn't help it. Since they brewed wine, they seemed to have found the most important thing in life.

But as soon as Zhuang Yu opened his mouth, the water bag in Uncle Shichui's hand fell to the ground in fright, and then he looked excited, "Young... Shaojun, what did you say? You said you found fuel that can replace firewood. From now on, we will have no shortage of firewood in Baidi City."

I was so excited that my rosacea came out.

Zhuang Yu nodded, "So I have to trouble Uncle Shichui to take your family to mine new fuel. There is a distance from Chidi City, which means that every day transportation needs to pass through the yellow sand. In our Chidi City, In addition to the Huangsha clan, only Uncle Shichui's Shifu clan can endure the wind and sand blowing all year round, and the Huangsha clan is responsible for guarding the Chidi City and patrolling the Chidi, so I have to trouble Uncle Shichui and your clan. "

Shi Hammer patted his chest excitedly, "Don't worry, Shaojun, my Stone Skin clan is also a tribe of Chidi City, as long as it can make Chidi City better, let alone such trivial things as crossing the wind and sand every day, we can do anything .”

Uncle Shichui has a careless personality and is a bit greedy for alcohol, but he is a very good person and likes to help other tribes. Otherwise, some people would have objected to them drinking the hard-earned wine like this.

As a major matter that can solve the fuel of Red Emperor City, it is not too late. Let the Shiskin clan prepare and set off on the second day. The Hanba brothers are leading the way. The two brothers know Heishui better, so they just warn Shiskin Some precautions for the skin family.

Things like coal mines will eventually be used by everyone in Chidi City, so there is no need to keep them secret.

When Uncle Shichui led his people to set off, basically everyone in Chidi City knew what they were going to do.

Early in the morning, there were huge crowds of people who came out to see him off.

The scene is also very lively, boiling.

"Shi Hammer, everyone is waiting for you to bring the firewood back as soon as possible. Don't drink and fall asleep in the desert." The elders of the clan ordered.

Shi Hammer patted his chest, "Don't worry, I, Shi Hammer, still know what is important, and I can't miss it. Shaojun entrusted such an important matter to my Stone Skin Clan, and my Stone Skin Clan will do our best no matter what."

Everyone knows about Shi Hammer.

There was another lively send-off, and the Stone Skin Clan disappeared into the wind and sand. Many of their giant beasts were rough-skinned rhinoceros, with great strength, which was just right for transporting coal.

Zhuang Yu was originally planning to come to see him off, but was delayed by something.

The caravan brought two little beggars.

Zhuang Yu and a group of little radish heads looked at the two little beggars, "Who is this? It's so dirty, you can't see your nose and face clearly except for your eyes."

The little leather hat and the feather head were so excited that they had already started howling, oh my god, they finally found it, and shouted like crazy, "It's us, it's us."

Zhuang Yu and a group of little radish heads were stunned, "Little leather hat? Lord Changkong?"

Damn, how did it become like this? In the past, these two boys were very particular people.

Shaohao was also stunned, the sons of the two war gods... came to the Red Emperor City

If he remembered well, the relationship between Red Emperor City and White Emperor City should not be very good now.

But when I think about myself, there seems to be no reason to say anything about others.

It must be extremely exciting to meet old friends, especially when these children still remember that they escaped here because the little leather hat and Lord Changkong prevented the Zhan clan from Baidi City from chasing them.

A swarm of bees surrounded it, circling around happily.

But immediately, the topic changed, "Why did you become like this?"

"Speaking of it is full of tears, you don't even know how the two of us climbed mountains and ridges, and came here through all kinds of hardships..."

Zhuang Yu was a little surprised. The two children actually ran to the edge of Chidi through many difficulties on their own. Fortunately, they met a caravan, otherwise they would have been lost in the yellow sand.

A group of little radish heads said, "Let's go, I'll take you to our new bathing pool. It's bigger, and it's guaranteed to be more comfortable than when you soaked in Tongshan."

A group of little radish heads dragged the two of them away.

Little Mushroom also gestured vigorously, its new bathtub is very comfortable.

Zhuang Yu also followed. To be honest, he didn't expect these two little fellows to come alone. This is such a great determination. Just thinking about the danger on the road makes him tremble with fear.

But my heart is also very strange, the relationship between them and Baidi City is extremely bad now, but the young master of Baidi City, the son of God of War has all come to Chidi City, I don't know what expression Baidi City has on his face now .

Moreover, Baidi City and Ruidi City are now in an alliance state, and they will deal with their Red Emperor City together. I don't know what they will think when they get the news.

Zhuang Yu smiled, it has nothing to do with him, he is happy to be disgusted to Baidi City and Ruidi City.

When they came to the dam, the little leather hat and the feather head were stunned. They probably could have imagined what the Red Emperor City would look like on this journey of yellow sand, but... what the hell is going on with the big waterfall in front of them? ? And what happened to the crystal clear river below the waterfall

There are no water monsters in this river.

Just as surprised, I saw Little Mushroom took a run-up, plunged into the water, and kept turning his head, kicking the water with his calves and legs, coming down to play together, Mushroom Boy's bathtub is very comfortable.

Then a group of radish heads jumped into the river like dumplings.

The little fur hat and the feather head reacted, and the little face yelled at the sky, throwing off their calves and soaking in the river.

Oh my god, this pool is bigger than the one in Kiriyama, how fun it is.

The little mushroom was swayed far away by the splash of water from jumping down, alas, dare to swing the mushroom boy, watching the mushroom boy make a huge wave and drown you all.

The calf bounced vigorously, the little face was flushed with joy, and there were small splashes of water. For it, it was extremely happy to see acquaintances.

A group of children had a great time.

Playing in water is the happiest thing in hot weather.

"Is our pool okay? But only this section is playable, other places are very deep"

The little leather hat and the feather head were spitting bubbles in the water, nodding all the time, they were so comfortable, even if only this section was playable, it was very big.

A group of little carrots said, "I will take you to catch crabs later, our crabs are big and delicious."

The little fur hat and Yutou were stunned. They knew that the biggest crab was the size of a fist. Could it be delicious

A group of radishheads couldn't stop talking, "Our crabs are so big, and the crab paste and crab roe inside are the best. I'll let you hug one and eat one later."

"Little Leather Hat Changkong Lord, we miss you so much."

These little radish heads have arranged the welcome things.

Zhuang Yu and Shaohao also kicked the water, looking at the children having fun, this is the purest and cleanest emotion. When people grow up, they will take care of this and that because of the influence of the outside world. Such friendship is the rarest.

After playing for a while, the little fur hat and feather head were washed clean, and they were the original two naughty little guys again.

The pants on their bodies were also cleaned, and I have to say that the quality is really good.

A group of little radish heads pulled their fur hats and feather heads up the water again, ready to catch crabs.

Of course, Zhuang Yu and Shaohao were also drawn in. There were water monsters in the water where the crabs were caught, and without Zhuang Yu and Shaohao, they didn't dare to approach.

When they came to the upper waters, a group of little radish heads pointed at the crabs that climbed ashore to bask in the sun, "Did you see that our crabs are so big, but unfortunately there are water monsters in the water, except for Brother Yu and Brother Shaohao, we dare not approach them."

Shaohao was about to catch crabs, he was the one who did this before, but Zhuang Yu stopped him, "The two kids came here specially to find me, this is my Chidi City, I have to catch crabs no matter what Please them."

Taking the bamboo flute and blowing it, the crab, which was basking leisurely in the sun, erected its big pincers, and then began to crawl towards Zhuang Yu.

The little fur hat and the feather head were dumbfounded, since... self-casting

Damn, what is Yu blowing about, it's so powerful.

There is no flute in this world yet, it is already very miraculous to be able to make bamboo make a sound, I never thought that this sound could make the prey come forward by itself, if it was in their hunting ground, it would be so amazing.

Seeing the crabs crawling over, it was easier than Shaohao going up to catch, a group of turnip heads rushed up, "Look at me catching a big crab."

Bee Kiss is also blushing in the distance, quickly tie up their pliers, Bee Kiss is scared.

After the big crab's pincers were tied up, Bee Kiss ran over bravely, even dared to poke the crab shell with his hand, and retracted his fingers after poking it. Bee Kiss is not afraid of you, your pincers are all tied up.

The little mushrooms are also gesturing aside, don't look at them ugly, they are delicious.

Each person holds a crab. Such a crab weighs about six to seven catties. I think I can eat enough crabs today.

The little fur hat and Yutou also happily hugged one, and kept asking, "Is it really delicious? Is there any fried pork?"

These days, what they miss the most is the fried pork, but unfortunately they can only think about it, they have to lick that evil salt stone.

Recently, there have been more and more crabs in the sea water that has been brought in. It is said that the sea of the Underworld is a restricted area for life, but Zhuang Yu knows that the number of species in the sea is no less than that on land, and even more abundant.

The ocean is a completely undamaged ecological environment.

After returning home, Zhuang Yu steamed the crabs. After steaming, each person had a big crab and ate it happily.

"Is our crab delicious?" asked a group of little radish heads.

The little leather hat and the feather head were so moved that they almost cried, and it was much more delicious than their Baidi City's barbecue.

The hardships of these days, now they finally feel that it is worth it. Fortunately, they ran away from home, otherwise they would not be able to eat such delicious food.

Zhuang Yu asked a group of little radish heads to take the two of them around to play. He still has very important things to do.

It won't be long before the stone skin clan will mine the coal mine back, and he plans to turn the coal mine into honeycomb coal, which is convenient to use, and the burnt honeycomb coal is also convenient to converge.

To burn briquettes, you need to use a stove, but to make a stove, yellow sand alone is definitely not enough.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, and waved to the ant who was holding a crab leg and gnawing on it.

The ant hugged the crab leg, and walked over with a little butt, raised the half-gnawed crab leg, "Brother Yu, eat."

Zhuang Yu rubbed the ant's head and asked, "Where did your termites go?"

He remembered that after they arrived at Chidi City, the ants let his termites dig holes and build nests by themselves.

The ants pointed out with their little fingers, "They have made new friends."

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, and walked outside with the ant in his arms, unexpectedly walking out of Chidi City.

"Over there, they are playing with their new friends," said the ant.

When Zhuang Yu saw it, he couldn't help being stunned. There were several balls, each with a diameter of nearly one meter, and they were all termites, rolling and running around on the ground.

This amount is a lot.

That's right, the desert is the base camp of termites. These termites are not lethal individually, but if they form such a rolling ball, if there are prey such as cattle and sheep, as long as they roll, only a pile of bones will be left.

Zhuang Yu asked the ants to bring him to find these termites, because he needed cement to make a stove.

The formic acid spit out by termites is mixed with sand, and water is added, so it is not natural cement.

Originally planned to make the stove slowly, but now...he changed his mind, he had to let every family in Chidi City have a briquette stove before the coal mine was brought back.
