Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 158 How can it be like this? (two more)

Hearing Zhang Yi's voice, the third uncle woke up immediately, and the third uncle's son and daughter-in-law also stepped forward to greet Zhang Yi.

"Uncle, what's the matter so late?" After seeing the ceremony, the third uncle asked the family to go to the back room, and let the main room out so that the three of them could discuss business matters.

In his opinion, Uncle is a person who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, so there must be something very important.

Of course, these things are generally the secrets of Zhuangzi, and keeping family members from participating is actually a form of protection in disguise.

Zhang Yi naturally didn't expect this, so he picked up a boiled pea and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and it tasted very good. Is there any coal nearby?"

"Charcoal?" The third uncle was a little surprised, why did he ask about this thing so politely?But he still replied: "Uncle, you don't want that thing to light a fire, do you?"

"Yes! This thing is resistant to fire and has a large reserve. Is it available in our Zhuangzi?" Zhang Yi nodded and said solemnly: "I seem to have seen it somewhere in Zhuangzi, but I can't remember it. You Know?"

When it comes to charcoal, the third uncle's face is a little ugly, and then he persuades: "Uncle, charcoal is not a good thing, it is harmful! You should use firewood! I know you want to save some dry firewood, but charcoal It doesn't work!"

While speaking, the third uncle's expression became a little complicated, and his lips began to tremble slightly. After a short silence, he said with difficulty: "To tell you the truth, uncle, the old man's youngest son died on this coal! I remember that winter was very cold, and the mattress at home was thin, and people who were cold could not bear it.
So I got some charcoal on the ridge of the back mountain and came back to light a fire to keep warm. It was very warm that night, and everyone in the family slept soundly.But the next morning when I came together, I found the room smelled of charcoal, so I hurried to the third brother's place to wake them up. I didn't expect it!The boss and the second child are unconscious, and the third child just... just."

No need to think about it, Zhang Yi knew very well that this was gas poisoning!

In fact, it's no wonder that the ancients had almost no chemical knowledge, and even if they had it, it was discovered by Taoist priests such as Taoists in the process of alchemy.But after they found out, they didn't announce it to the public. On the contrary, they packaged some seemingly miraculous things in it, saying that they were supernatural powers that had been cultivated, thus creating the illusion of boundless mana.

It is precisely this kind of complacency that, since the Western Jin Dynasty, these methods have been firmly controlled by this small group of people within a certain range. If outsiders want to know, it is almost tantamount to this person talking about dreams.

However, things like gas poisoning are obviously much more profound, and this topic has obviously not been studied in the self-styled Taoist knowledge, so the mining and use of coal has become so unpopular, even three times. Elderly people like Uncle blindly believe that charcoal itself contains toxins that can kill people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi felt that it was necessary for him to educate his third uncle on the use of coal and the problem of gas poisoning.

Immediately Zhang Yi said: "Third Uncle, in fact, this charcoal itself is not poisonous!"

"Not poisonous?" Third Uncle and Old Zhong both said in unison, looking at Zhang Yi in disbelief.

"Of course not poisonous!" Zhang Yi reaffirmed, and then explained: "Just like eating dog meat with willow chopsticks, dog meat itself does not have any toxins, on the contrary it is a great tonic ingredient. But once it comes into contact with willow wood, it becomes It can be a deadly poison!

The reason why coal can cause people to die unconsciously is that it emits a large amount of carbon monoxide during combustion. Of course, you don’t understand this thing. You just need to know that this thing is harmful to people, and the culprit is it That's it!
So as long as we control the emission of carbon dioxide, we can safely use it to make fire and cook, and even make iron! "

"Really?" Third Uncle still didn't believe it.

"Of course it is true! In fact, it is very simple to use this charcoal. We only need to modify the structure of the house a little bit!" Zhang Yi pointed to the thatch above his head and said, "Let's treat this room as a kitchen. Since it is Naturally, the kitchen needs to have another pot!"

As he said that, Zhang Yi placed the low table in front of him for serving wine and vegetables as a working kitchen, and said with gestures: "Third Uncle, Lao Zhong, you see, this table is like a stove, and the bottom is It is the stove mouth for adding firewood. We usually light firewood here for cooking.

But if you think about it, if you use this method to make a fire, whether it is a piece of wood or grass, the smoke will be very large when burning, and if there is a certain amount of moisture in it, then the meal will be very old after cooking. Life! "

Regarding Zhang Yi's statement, both the third uncle and Lao Zhong agreed very much.

As Zhang Yi said, in fact, whether it is a high-ranking official or a small household, cooking in the kitchen is almost the same.Don't talk about cooking, just making a fire is very old-fashioned. For this reason, she even created a profession--burning fire girl!
Regardless of the poor reputation of this burning girl, it is definitely not easy to become a burning girl.

Because they can make a fire very quickly, and can control the size of the fire proficiently, such as slow fire, martial fire, and even other fires with different names and different types of firewood are proficient in everything.

The most important thing is that they produce less smoke when they burn the fire, and few people can do it just because of this.

Usually, the burning girls who have this skill usually work in high-ranking families, or they are talents specially trained by these families.

"Could it be that, young master, you want to find a fire-burning girl?" Old Zhong couldn't help but said, "But in that case, it will be difficult for us to find someone for a while!"

"And the money for burning the fire girl is not cheap." Third Uncle also interjected.

In their minds, since the charcoal is useful, they only need to pay attention to what kind of charcoal is burned, so it is very appropriate to invite a fire girl.Fortunately, the third uncle said that he didn't know that Zhang Yi was cooking for the new meal group that was about to be built, but Lao Zhong knew it, and he felt that if the charcoal was really useful, even if he invited one or two girls to make fire Can save a lot.

"It's fine to burn the fire girl, but what do you think if we add a chimney here to disperse the smoke?" Zhang Yi said as he stood up a chopstick on the low table, saying: Just like bamboo, it is round, but the middle must be empty, and a hole is directly made on the roof from the inside of the house to the outside, so that the smoke will be discharged outside along with the chimney, and the people inside will naturally No more problems with smoke and fog!"

"what!."

The two were immediately dumbfounded. What they didn't expect was that the fire could be like this?

　PS: The second update arrives, do you still have a recommendation ticket?How about a few?
