The man by the window asked in confusion, "Could it be that you haven't even seen it?"
A wine drinker said with a smile: "In normal times, we can still say,'I haven't eaten pork and seen pigs run.' But the stove in this house... I really haven't seen it! But we at least listen to it. After experiencing its magic, it is said that you can make the room extra warm without using firewood. The most important thing is that it will not smoke people. So far, those big families have not heard anyone say that people died because of this stove... That's really a magical thing. !"
The highest standard of praise among ordinary people may be the word'magic'.
Seeing so many people yearning for it, the guests by the window knew that they had come this time.
…
The fire stove, to be honest, Lu Yu wanted to make one a few years ago because his room was too cold. The reason why I didn't do it until now, the reason... It's a bit silly to say, because in the previous years, if there was no such reason as'warm you to sleep', Xiao Ruan would not have gone to Lu Yu's bed! This is Lu Yu's careful thinking. For this purpose, he can even endure the severe cold in winter, and his lips become purple from freezing without complaining. It is really... a man's nature.
But now it's no longer necessary. It's natural to get used to it. Lu Yu doesn't blush when the two sleep in the same bed.
So this stove was directly mentioned on the agenda. Yuanben only did it experimentally. Lu Yu didn't expect that he could actually do it, and it was much better than he thought. In fact, the stove is not so easy to be made. It has a lot of attention to it, how big the furnace is, how wide it is, what the angle is, the height of the chimney, and the airtightness... all aspects were overcome by Lu Yu, and they were all hand-made with a small hammer. A little bit of hammering and molding, and even the use of Mithril in the sealing position, it is extremely smooth and tightly fitted, nothing can leak out, and... Originally, as long as the chimney is higher and the angle is better, it does not matter if it leaks a little.
What bothered Lu Yu the most was fuel. Burning wood was a good choice, but it was time-consuming and laborious, and it was really troublesome to want to stay warm overnight. After trying for a long time, Lu Yu found an excellent raw material.
It is called'Iron Tree Black Coke'.
Iron tree is a very... tasteless wood. It is thick and can sink directly in water. It stands to reason that it is very hard as a building material is a good choice, but it is easy to deform! Use it as a door, and this door will never be closed within three years.
Use it to burn fire... It burns very slowly, and it can even be used as a flame retardant material. When the fire is pressed by it, it usually goes out.
And the most troublesome thing is that it is a lot. The iron tree is the most abundant tree around Linjiang City. Although it is not special in the whole continent, it is the only one that is abundant here. But... after all, it's useless, so what can it be
People’s ingenuity is never lacking. After many generations of research, it can become a kind of black coke if it is fired in a suffocated furnace. It is difficult to ignite, but it is also not easy to extinguish after ignition. No flame is visible, but There is always the light of charcoal fire, so people are often made into torches or incense candles. Therefore, Linjiang City is a place rich in torches, and the quality is guaranteed. It is no exaggeration to sell to the entire mainland.
Lu Yu didn't need to look for it. He had it in his own cabin. After studying for a while, he understood the'advantages' of this thing. It... is like'coal', even better than coal! People here don't use it, because there is rarely a stove where the chimney is made high to create a'high pressure'.
The furnace temperature will never rise, naturally it will not reach the best ignition point of this iron tree black coke, so... naturally, the flame will be turned off as soon as it is thrown in.
But Lu Yu's stove is different, pure iron casting, high temperature and high pressure, let this iron wood black coke finally find a place where it can give full play to its strengths!
It can be used as coal, and it is not as heavy as the smoke of coal, and not as strong as the smell of coal, and it is even more economical than coal.
So... No one noticed that Lu Yu actually got the'benefits' he most wanted during this catastrophe, and did not cause any harm to anyone. He just used grain to make a seemingly disadvantageous deal with the officials in Linjiang City, and bought the'most useless' mountains around Linjiang City with boundless iron trees.
In the eyes of outsiders, these mountains are very difficult to hunt, let alone live, sell, and make money, not to mention the most precious food nowadays. So when Xiao Ruan walked out of the yamen with the title deed, the officials respectfully presented to their ancestors, smiled like a flower on their faces, and humbled as if they wanted to be a godson for her.
So Lu Yu exchanged the most precious grain for the mountain covered with the least valuable ironwood. In everyone’s eyes, Lu Yu was at a disadvantage, and even those officials kept this'secret' for him. The provincial government made the Lu family’s young master ashamed, and some officials thought it was Lu Qian’s decision, and it was embarrassing. My younger brother will do it.
It’s just that few people know that Lu Yu pouted his butt and laughed wildly in the bed. A small butt was still leaking out and trembling with laughter. Of course, the next day he caught a cold. The so-called happy extreme and sadness might be the answer. thing.
At the beginning, Lu Yu didn't intend to talk about the iron wood black coke and the iron furnace. He thought it was not yet time, and if this thing was secretly enjoyed by himself... it seemed not bad. It is very exciting to watch the people in the city get frozen and kick the quilt in the warm night alone.
But helpless, he has a sister who doesn't need to knock to enter his house.
There is also a shameless bastard who has stayed here for days.
More importantly, these two guys still like this stove.
In desperation, Lu Yu personally spent more than a day staying up late to make one for the two of them. When they watched the two people carry a large iron stove in one hand and a long chimney in the other hand, they carried it back to his home lightly, Lu Yu hated him. Itchy teeth still shouting: "Don't come again next time!"
But they still came, and many times.
The first is Lu Qian, this little girl is definitely the most famous guy in Linjiang City now, and... there is food and medicine! The world says that she is a fairy, even more effective than a fairy. She is absolutely responsive. The key is to be able to ask for a'real thing' from her, something that the entire Linjiang City lacks.
Therefore, many guests come to Lu Qian's boudoir every day. They are all young ladies from the family, and some famous ladies also come here from time to time. They naturally saw the stove and felt its warmth, but there was a lot of charcoal smell missing. It really made these young ladies who look disgraced even if they take a bath twice a day are envious and jealous. They have to buy a set for life and death. The price is good. Discuss, but absolutely must not sell, not sell? They cried, wiped their tears with their handkerchiefs, and kept crying about the cold of the night and the smoky pain.
