After Zhang Pengzu's brief introduction, Chen Yue learned that the ancients had long used coal, and it could be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Nowadays, coal is used for smelting. Zhang Pengzu also told Chen Yue that medium charcoal cannot be used to replace firewood to cook and keep warm. The reason is that the coal tastes too strong when burning, and the food tastes particularly strong after cooking, making it difficult to swallow.
Chen Yue believes that in addition to steelmaking, people must have died when they used coal, because the sulfur in the media will release sulfur dioxide when it burns, and the poisoning is very miserable.
It can be imagined that the current craftsmen in the iron smelting workshop will definitely not live much age, and most of them will die of various diseases after working for a few years.
The coal used in later generations was desulfurized, and even so, the burning smell was very strong. Chen Yue seemed to remember that he had heard of coal desulfurization in chemistry class. He had no impression of it since he was too long. He just remembered that he had to wash the coal after digging it out. He didn't know if it was rinsed with water, but he heard that it could remove about 30% of the sulfur after washing the coal.
I thought too much. He doesn't have a coal mine now, and even if there is a coal mine, he doesn't have the ability to mine it.
The main reason why I didn’t want coal was that Zhang Zupeng made another request as soon as he returned to the house.
"What, your family needs to repair twenty kangs?" Chen Yue thought about it and understood that there were many people in these big families, so repairing twenty might not be enough.
Chen Yue pointed to the three Zhang family servants who were strolling on the ground and asked, "Did you send them to learn how to repair the kang?"
"No." Zhang Pengzu said, "they are some servants who are responsible for taking care of someone's daily life."
Someone refers to me, usually a self-moderate term.
"Oh." Chen Yue held his mouth in his mouth, and was envious, but he still didn't show it. He just asked lightly, "Will anyone who studies construction come tomorrow?"
Zhang Pengzu didn't say anything, he pointed at the kang and asked Chen Yue: "Is this the kang?"
After seeing Chen Yue nodding, Zhang Pengzu touched the kang. He didn't want to take off his shoes. At Chen Yue's strict attitude, he took off the cloak and shoes made of animal skins outside, jumped onto the kang, took off the bedding made of linen, wading on it, and shouted: "So warm and comfortable."
Chen Yue thought to himself that he was another leopard, and he was "comfortable" back and forth, and he couldn't even say "good" and at the worst, he would have to say "I X".
Chen Yue’s home uses ordinary stone slabs to pave the ground. Now there is no ceramic tiles, he can’t afford marble, so he has to put a linen cloth on the stone slabs to pave it.
Zhang Pengzu, who was walking on the kang, seemed to say unwillingly: "It seems like you stay a few more nights. But think about Aweng and his second uncle at home, they have to go back tomorrow. By the way, you will go to Chang'an with someone tomorrow, and you will not come back after the repair."
“Twenty?”
"yes!"
"Don't go."
Zhang Pengzu turned over and got up, sat on the kang and asked, "Why don't you go? Don't worry, you won't be in vain. Some family will give you money, food, meat, by the way, there is beef."
"Old Zhang, those are twenty kangs." Chen Yue was excited and even said the title of later generations. He said with a hint of disgrace, "It's not one or two. According to the normal time, the weather will be warming after the twenty kangs are repaired. You should arrange for the family to study. I will definitely teach and teach and never give up diarrhea."
"What is Lao Zhang's name? It's never diarrhea, what does it mean?" Zhang Pengzu asked with confusion.
I went, why didn’t this guy listen to the point? He went all to these little things. Chen Yue said angrily: “Old Zhang is a kind name for people with good relationships. As for diarrhea, he means not being attentive in doing things. Nothing is important. What’s important is that I will bring the eldest son of three tenants, and there are only four people. It is impossible to repair twenty kangs in a short time. It’s better for you to send someone to learn.”
"You're the only one to go." Zhang Pengzu came. When he saw Chen Yue about to speak, he immediately rushed to say, "If you don't let you finish all the repairs, you are only responsible for the construction of my Aweng and my second uncle's kang. No, there is mine. Aweng said, you should take the craftsmen at home to do it yourself in the first three kangs, and you can only be responsible for the command of the back. As long as they learn it completely, you can leave. Of course, if they can't repair them later, they can drive them out of the house and recruit other people."
Chen Yue knew that the conditions for ancient craftsmen to survive alone were different, especially in the Han Dynasty, where there were no industrial products. If craftsmen left the big family, they had nowhere to find food. They had no land and could not farm.
As Zhang Pengzu said, if he was driven out of the Zhang family, those craftsmen would probably become slaves in minutes. Being craftsmen, especially in a large family, would be countless times better than slaves.
"Can you do it?" Zhang Pengzu asked as he saw Chen Yue thinking.
After hearing this, Chen Yue opened his mouth and said, "How can a man say no?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. He said in embarrassment again: "After I left, only Amu and Xiao Miao were left at home. It took ten days and half a month to go there. It is very likely that I can only go home before and after the official dynasty. I am still a little worried."
"Don't worry," Zhang Pengzu said: "When I left Chiyang today, I told the people at home that they would drive a ox cart to pick up your grandmother and younger brother tomorrow morning and go to my house in Chiyang to live."
Chen Yue held his mouth and said, "This is not possible. Your house does not have a kang in the house in Chiyang City. My mother and I will definitely not be able to stand sleeping in the kang. Otherwise, are there any people in Chiyang who are not as old as my mother?... Female servants, you can invite two or three to come to my house to accompany my mother. If someone is a companion, you will not be afraid of outsiders causing trouble."
There is another saying, "Especially the servants of the Zhang family are in my house." Bandits, robbers, and thieves should not dare to come.
Chen Yue thought for a long time, but didn't know what the old maid should call it. He called it "maid" and always felt that he would think of a Japanese movie, so he had to say that he was a female servant.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Oh. You mean to ask the servant to come to your house!" Zhang Pengzu thought for a while and said, "There are no women of similar age in Chiyangcheng's family, but there are three or five old mothers, so I can call two of them."
"Old mother?" Chen Yue felt very messy. He didn't understand what the old mother was.
After Chen Yue's repeated questions and Zhang Pengzu's annoying answer, Chen Yue realized that the old mother was an old woman and that the mother was an old lady.
Of course, Chen Yue understood that the old lady should be in her seventies or eighties. He was still worried about how to get from the city to Datianzhuang from the city to Datianzhuang. As a result, when he saw the two old ladies of the Zhang family, he was refreshed and they looked like they were in their fifties. After asking, he found out that one was forty-eight years old and the other was forty-nine years old. However, after thinking about it, it was the most common time in this era when they got married and had children at the age of fifteen, sixteen and seventeen. It was normal for them to become great-grandmothers at this age. Think about which great-grandmother could not be called an old lady in the future? This is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now.
After the charcoal burned for a while, the temperature in the bedroom gradually increased.
Brother Chen Yue started to take off his clothes and pants. There were no pants in the Han Dynasty. Don’t ask why, no, it’s not. The pants of his family of three were designed and made some time ago. It turned out that they were all made of clothes and pants. Recently, it was too cold and I couldn’t stand it when I was in a short time, so he had pants at home.
The clothes are still the original clothes, with round collars, which cannot be changed to modern ones casually. Pants are worn on the lower body, and there are no specific requirements, but the clothes are different. Their identities can only be worn with round collars, and wearing them randomly is a crime. Cross-collar right collar can only be worn with status, such as Zhang Pengzu; left collars are worn by servants, such as slaves and servants; round collars are worn by civilians, such as Chen Yue, and Liu Bingyi, in theory, wear round collars, but he is the emperor's great-grandson, and can wear right collars.
Zhang Pengzu looked like a torch, staring at Chen Yue and couldn't wait. Chen Yue was so scared that he quickly grabbed a piece of linen cloth and covered it with his body. Zhang Pengzu moved forward, and Chen Yue kept retreating. When Zhang Pengzu reached out his hand to grab his underwear, Chen Yue wanted to get up and escape, but was afraid that his underwear would be pulled off. He was very worried: "It's over, is this person as good as Long Yang?"
Zhang Pengzu grabbed Chen Yue's underwear, rubbed it with his hands, and asked loudly: "What are you? Or are you made of silk cloth?"
Oh, it turns out that I fell in love with my underwear, and I didn’t have any other intentions, so I replied: “This is underwear.” I also briefly introduced the benefits of underwear.
As a result, Zhang Pengzu quit because he didn't have underwear. In addition, he became anxious when he learned that Liu Bingyi also had it and wanted Chen Yue to make a new one for him immediately.
This requirement is simple, but Chen Yue's family has no silk cloth, because in addition to making underwear for the family of three, he also made three underwear. Zhang Pengzu was so anxious that if it weren't for snow outside, he would have asked someone to go back to the city to get silk cloth.
After checking that he really couldn't wear the underwear he made, he was unwilling to go to bed slowly.
After all, Chen Yue has a maximum of 70 or 80 kilograms, and Zhang Pengzu has a maximum of 130 or 40 kilograms. He definitely can't wear Chen Yue's underwear.
Afterwards, Zhang Pengzu threatened Chen Yue again, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Chi Yang tomorrow was to help him make a pair of underwear, otherwise he would have to pull out Chen Yue's underwear on the spot.
Chen Yue had no choice but to admit it. Unexpectedly, Chen Miao stood up and showed off her underwear, and Zhang Pengzu pressed it on the kang and slapped it three times... before he could escape.
The bedroom became warmer and warmer, and Zhang Pengzu and the servants he brought couldn't stand it, so they took off their clothes. After they took off, Chen Yue wanted to go to the kitchen to get a knife and defeat them all, because the four of them wade naked on the kang or the ground, of course, not naked, but they all used crotch cloths, looking like people from a country where the boy was living a good life.
In order not to get a kitchen knife, Chen Yue kept hinting in his heart: "These are all their ancestors, and they learned the crotch-wrapped cloth from their ancestors."
Charcoal was made by Chen Yue himself and was originally the most suitable for barbecue, but the conditions are limited. Because it burns for a long time, it can only be used for heating.
In his sleep, Chen Yue dreamed that he took out the barbecue rack and put pork belly on it. The pork belly was grilled so hard that it was oily. After sprinkling salt and peppers, he drooled in one bite. After eating five or six skewers, he drooled in a drool. Chen Yue couldn't figure it out. When he was about to dig out the potatoes and sweet potatoes roasted in the charcoal fire, he was woken up.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yue was not angry at first when he woke up, but when someone was disturbed when he was eating, he would definitely get angry, even in a dream.
