With the help of his classmates, Zhao Ce quickly bought better quality charcoal.

Looking at the newly purchased charcoal, Zhao Ce asked: "Master Ye, I wonder what is the difference between this good charcoal and ordinary charcoal?"

Ye Yan smiled and said: "This good charcoal has a smaller smell and produces less smoke than ordinary charcoal."

In fact, after opening the windows and ventilating the room, the smoke smell was quite bearable for Zhao Ce.

It's just that the smoke that comes out when it is occasionally turned will make the sensitive Su Caier cough occasionally.

Every time he turned the charcoal basin later, Zhao Ce asked Su Cai'er to call someone to do it.

As a result, things are much better now.

However, Zhao Ce, as a maniac who dotes on his wife, will naturally not wrong his little girl.

Now that the better charcoal is burning first, the charcoal that Zhao Ce burned himself will be good soon.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ce asked Ye Yan about Tan.

Hearing what Zhao Ce said about the completely smokeless charcoal, Ye Yan was a little curious and asked: "Is there really such a charcoal?"

"The charcoal in our store is already the best, but it is basically impossible to make it truly colorless and odorless."

After Zhao Ce heard this, he thought that if he could make this silver charcoal, the market prospects would be pretty good.

After buying the things, Ye Yan asked his own carriage to take him back.

The two of them were waiting in the store for the servants to carry the things to the carriage.

Ye Yan also said: "If you want to buy charcoal from now on, just come to my store and buy it directly."

"I told the shopkeeper in the store that they will leave some good charcoal for you in advance."

"It has been snowing heavily for several months now, and wood is in short supply everywhere. I will ask someone to leave a large amount of charcoal for you next time so that you can have a good winter."

Zhao Ce said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Ye."

Ye Yan was happy that he had helped his classmates in such a friendly way. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a little effort."

"As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends outside. We are friends now!"

"You and your wife must have a lot of inconvenience in the capital."

"We may become officials in the same court in the future, so we should help each other."

Zhao Ce smiled and said yes.

Ye Yan suddenly asked again: "Oh, by the way, you said earlier that you had achieved military exploits. What kind of military exploits were they?"

After finishing speaking, he patted his chest and said proudly: "I brought back more than ten good Tatar horses!"

"The Holy One even personally issued an edict to praise me!"

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "There was a rebellion in my hometown. I took some soldiers to help put down the rebellion and captured many thieves."

"Counterinsurgency?"

Ye Yan smacked his lips and said with some surprise: "Then your military achievements are quite big?"

"The Holy One only calls you to enter the Imperial Academy, and there is no other reward?"

Zhao Ce said humbly: "The Holy Spirit personally bestowed upon me the third rank of Yong Xibo for my merits, and also summoned me to the Imperial Academy. This should be regarded as a great merit."

"..." Ye Yan opened his mouth and continued in a somewhat erratic voice: "Ah, uncle, Earl?"

"Did you get the title granted by the Holy Father for your military merits?"

Zhao Ce smiled and nodded.

Ye Yan laughed dryly and suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say.

Compared with Zhao Ce's contribution, his own contribution seems to be nothing?

Zhao Ce saw his face stiffen and said with a smile: "I am helping the court suppress the rebellion, but Mr. Ye is facing extremely vicious Tatars."

"How can we share the credit for pacifying civil strife and resisting foreign enemies?"

"With Mr. Ye's intelligence, no matter whether he goes in and out of temples or goes into battle to kill enemies, he will surely be the best among men."

After saying this, Ye Yan finally became happy again.

He said "tsk": "You are not only handsome, but you also speak so nicely..."

After the servants loaded the things onto the carriage, Ye Yan did not leave for the time being and said goodbye to Zhao Ce in the store.

...

In the following time, with the help of his classmates in class, Zhao Ce knew a lot more about the capital.

There were two more snowfalls in the middle, and soon it was the day when Zhao Ce went down to the kiln for the first time to open the kiln.

After school that day, Zhao Ce got on his carriage and went to the countryside.

A porridge shed has been set up outside the city gate, and I heard that the government would distribute a hot porridge meal every day.

Moreover, many straw huts were erected nearby so that these homeless and beggars could at least have a place to cover their heads.

Zhao Ce glanced at it and quickly looked away.

After arriving at the outskirts, the charcoal kiln was opened and the charcoal inside was quickly pulled out.

Then, Chen Liang, who was powerful and powerful at the side, under Zhao Ce's instructions, personally waved the shovel and quickly covered the wet sand on the side.

During the process of extinguishing the fire, the charcoal will come into contact with air and be calcined.

After the wet sand is sprinkled on the charcoal, the outside of the charcoal will be oxidized due to incomplete combustion, and the white ash generated will slowly adhere to the charcoal.

This charcoal covered with layers of white silver frost is the legendary "silver wire charcoal", also known as "silver bone charcoal".

The wet sand will be dried quickly, and then you only need to wait for the charcoal to be completely extinguished before picking it out piece by piece.

Then conduct a combustion test to see how well it burns. This is the final and complete product.

Zhao Ce looked at the exposed corners of the charcoal in front of him, and sure enough, some white ash appeared.

This first step is considered a success.

When the carbon blocks cool down tomorrow, they will be ready to leave the factory after being re-combusted and inspected.

Zhao Ce ordered: "Cover the charcoal kiln with mud blocks. Don't let too much air in, and don't seal it completely."

The group of people started working at once, and the charcoal kilns behind them were also completed one after another using the same steps.

...

By the next day, the silver bone charcoal was completely extinguished.

Chen Liang took some back and waited for Zhao Ce's final test.

Su Cai'er looked at the charcoal blocks that were different from those bought outside, and curiously knelt down and took a look.

Zhao Ce said: "Aunt Chen, bring me a charcoal basin. Let's use this charcoal tonight."

Aunt Chen responded, took out a new charcoal basin, and put a few pieces of burning charcoal on the other charcoal basins.

Then spread silver bone charcoal on top and wait for the charcoal blocks on top to burn slowly.

Zhao Ce pulled up Su Cai'er who was squatting aside and looking curiously at Silver Bone Charcoal, and said funnyly: "Isn't it just Charcoal? What are you staring at?"

Su Cai'er pointed at the silver bone charcoal and said curiously: "It seems to be covered with a layer of snow."

Zhao Ce reluctantly nodded her forehead.

"Take this basin of charcoal to the study first. I want to see how long these charcoal can burn."

Silver bone charcoal, its charcoal is white and frosty, smokeless, flame retardant and not easy to extinguish.

The charcoal pot lit in the afternoon will still be hot when you go to bed at night.

Su Cai'er heard that her husband wanted to test the burning ability of the charcoal, so she walked to the charcoal basin from time to time to take a look.

"Husband, the room really doesn't smell at all."

"I stood so close and I didn't even smell the charcoal fire."

Zhao Ce had just finished taking a shower and walked in. He saw the little girl standing next to the charcoal pot again and observing the charcoal fire. He was a little dumbfounded.

"Just let it burn slowly. You don't have to keep an eye on it."

Su Cai'er smiled sweetly and said: "This is the charcoal my husband burned specially for me. I have to help him watch it!"

Su Cai'er said this, and when sleeping at night, she would look up from time to time at the charcoal basin in the corner.

Zhao Ce suspected that she would have to get up in the middle of the night to watch the burning of the charcoal, so he helplessly held her in his arms.

"Stop looking and go to sleep."

Su Cai'er muttered: "I don't know how the silver bone charcoal in the basin is burning."

Zhao Ce said with a smile: "If it burns out, won't the temperature in the room drop?"
Chapter completed!
