Chapter 505 This is Silver Bone Charcoal
Su Cai'er really wanted to get up in the middle of the night to see how the silver bone charcoal was burning.
But she had been sleeping so well recently, and fell asleep quickly as soon as she closed her eyes.
By the time she opened her eyes, it was already time to wake up.
Although the room was no warmer than before going to bed, it wasn't much colder either.
Su Cai'er sat up hugging the quilt and saw Zhao Ce who was opening the bed curtain to look at the charcoal basin.
"Husband, is the burning done?"
Su Cai'er asked anxiously.
Zhao Ce stood next to the charcoal basin and stirred it with a stick.
The silver bone charcoal inside was almost cooked, and the temperature in the room was indeed a little lower than before going to bed, but it wasn't too cold either.
The charcoal was replaced at noon yesterday and burned until the next morning.
This silver bone charcoal must have been a success!
Zhao Ce smiled and said: "It's almost done, but this silver bone charcoal is considered a success."
Su Cai'er cheered a little: "That's great!"
After saying that, he got up, ran a few steps, and stood next to Zhao Ce with his knees half bent.
Zhao Ce used his hands to smooth her hair as she ran forward. When he saw her wearing an undershirt, he couldn't help but said with a straight face: "You have to put on your clothes when you get out of bed."
Su Cai'er glanced at him, smiled mischievously, and then returned to the bed and put on her coat.
After the two of them washed up, there was still some residual warmth in the charcoal basin.
Zhao Ce asked someone to add some new charcoal and had breakfast in a good mood.
"The remaining charcoal can be started in the kiln one after another. After taking a rest for two days, I will bring some good charcoal to visit Liu Mansion."
"There is also Mr. Xu's mansion. We have to prepare things for a visit."
Zhao Ce explained everything, and Su Cai'er took note of it carefully.
If I want to visit Liu's house, besides good charcoal, I have to prepare some other gifts.
As for the Xu Mansion, Mr. Xu is half of Zhao Ce's teacher, and he has to prepare some things for repairing with him.
Su Cai'er wrote them down one by one and was already thinking about what she would prepare for her husband.
Zhao Ce kissed her and prepared to go to school.
Su Cai'er suddenly reached out and held him.
Zhao Ce turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Su Caier's big eyes flashed and she asked in a low voice: "Husband, can I go for a walk in the yard today?"
"I want to go play in the snow..."
Since arriving in the capital, it has been snowing heavily and lightly.
For Su Caier's safety, Zhao Ce did not allow her to go out, fearing that she would fall.
Su Cai'er was also well-behaved. Her husband said she was not allowed to go out, so she would sit in the front hall at most and do her sewing.
After all, it was freezing and snowy outside, and the servants at home fell down from time to time.
Su Cai'er herself is pregnant with the child she misses so much, so she is even less likely to take risks.
It's just that she has been holding it in for many days. She looks at the piles of snow outside every day and can't play at all.
For a little country cat from the south, not being able to play in the snow was really itching and unbearable.
Zhao Ce listened to what she asked him and touched her little face with some distress.
"Okay, how about I accompany you to play in the snow in the yard when you get back from school today?"
Su Cai'er said happily: "Okay, then I'll wait for my husband to come back."
Compared to going out for a walk by herself, Su Caier certainly prefers to play with her husband!
With the little girl full of expectations, Zhao Ce took Xu Fang out.
After class, everyone was doing their homework with their heads down.
Zhao Ce was almost done with his homework, so he gave Ye Yan the silver bone charcoal he brought.
He didn't bring much, maybe ten pounds of charcoal.
When Ye Yan saw that Zhao Ce actually brought him charcoal, he quickly waved his hand and refused: "I have a lot of charcoal at home, why do I need you to give me these?"
Zhao Ce smiled and said: "This charcoal is different from what you sell."
"different?"
Ye Yan opened the bag curiously and took a look.
Seeing the charcoal with white frost on it, I was a little surprised and asked, "Why is there so much white frost on this charcoal?"
Zhao Ce explained: "This is silver bone charcoal, smokeless, difficult to burn, and not easy to extinguish."
"I tried it last night. From the moment the charcoal is ignited to when it burns out, it can last for a day and a half."
"One and a half days?" Ye Yan said in surprise: "So resistant to burning?"
Zhao Ce nodded and said: "Yes, but I didn't burn much. I can only give some to Mr. Ye as a thank you for helping me earlier."
Zhao Ce brought this silver bone charcoal to Ye Yan today, naturally not to express his gratitude.
Since his family did not have a store in the capital, Zhao Ce decided to go to Ye Yan's store.
If this silver bone charcoal can really open up sales in the capital, he won't have to wait for the money from Zhao Wensheng, he will have enough money to open a store next year.
The Ye family's store is so big, and one can tell that the family's business is huge.
If you have just arrived in the capital and don’t understand anything, it is best to cooperate with others to do business.
After next spring, he will have almost figured out the tricks of the capital, and then he can plan to officially start making money from the people of the capital.
Ye Yan heard Zhao Ce say that this was a gift to thank him for his help, so he happily accepted the charcoal.
He said: "In this case, I will accept it."
"My old lady has a bad throat. She coughs every winter when she smells the smell of charcoal."
"I'll take it back and give it to her old man."
Zhao Ce said some more silver bone charcoal words to Ye Yan, then packed up his things and prepared to go home and play in the snow with his little wife.
Ye Yan took the charcoal sent by Zhao Ce out the door and handed the charcoal to the entourage waiting outside.
"Sir, what is this?"
Ye Yan said: "This is charcoal given by a classmate. It is said to be silver bone charcoal."
"It is also said to be smokeless and odorless, and can last for about a day and a half burning charcoal."
The follower of the Ye family asked curiously: "It seems that there is no such good charcoal for sale in the capital. How can the young master's classmate make such good charcoal?"
Ye Yan said nonchalantly: "Whatever, Uncle Zhao gave this to our family."
"You burn it for me tonight, and I'll test the smoke first."
The entourage agreed, holding a bag of charcoal in his arms, thinking that the students of the Imperial College were really full of all kinds of strange people.
There was actually a noble charcoal burner among them.
This charcoal-burning man is also a third-class earl conferred by the imperial court, which is really strange and strange...
Ye Yan was actually a little skeptical about Zhao Ce's description of the silver bone charcoal.
But with Zhao Ce's identity, it would be beneficial for his family to have a good relationship with him.
If such a young earl relied on his own abilities, what great achievements would he make to the Ming Dynasty in the future?
Therefore, even if he had doubts about what Zhao Ce had given him, he would not say it to his face.
Just take it home and try it. If it's good, give it to the old lady at home.
