Chapter 384 Xu Damao's Protection
Not only Xu Damao, but even Yi Zhonghai, who was helping to make the tools, started to persuade him.
"Zhu Zi, I'm telling you to just forget it.
Adding mud to coal doesn't seem to be a good idea, so it's better not to waste such good coal.
Although our Daxia's coal production has been increasing year by year in recent years, there are still many people who cannot afford coal. It is not good for you to waste it like this."
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished his persuasion, Yan Bugui, who was standing next to him, felt as if something of his own had been destroyed.
With a distressed look on his face he said,
"Zhu Zi, you really don't know how expensive oil and rice are. If you don't want these coal powders, you should have told me earlier.
You give it to Uncle Yan, and Uncle Yan takes it back and makes coal balls.
Although I can't give you money, I will at least thank you. It's better than you wasting it.
This is all money.”
Although coal was very cheap in this era, two or three pounds of coal only cost about one cent, which was not worth much.
But after hearing Yan Bugui's confident words,
Not only He Yuzhu, but even He Daqing shook his head speechlessly.
"Old Yan, although I don't know what Zhuzi is going to do, he has just started and you are pouring cold water on him. What do you mean?
Never mind, I don't care what you mean.
No matter what you want to say, hold it in your stomach. Wait until Zhuzi finishes the work and the results come out before you say anything.
Also, although we don't have much coal at home,
But the coal is worth a penny after all. Do you think it is appropriate for you to say it so confidently? "
After being scolded by He Daqing for a while, Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed.
Then he started to refute,
"This matter has nothing to do with me. It was you, Zhuzi, who wasted the coal first. I was just talking, I don't really want your coal."
After refuting He Daqing, he turned to look at He Yuzhu and said angrily,
"Zhu Zi, hurry up and do it. Xu Damao is right. I want to see what you can do with the coal and mud!"
Seeing Yan Bugui's somewhat exasperated expression, He Yuzhu nodded with a smile.
Then he stretched out his hands and started stirring the coal powder and yellow mud.
While mixing the two evenly, he said to Xu Damao who was watching the joke smugly beside him,
"Da Mao, please go to my house and get me some water."
Seeing He Yuzhu suddenly asking him to help, Xu Damao was stunned for a moment before he asked,
"It's not a pillar. You do your thing. If you want to scoop water, let Qingshan and Yushui do it. Why are you looking for me? I just rode my bike to pick up an old man and I'm so tired. Now I want to take a good rest."
Hearing Xu Damao's excuse, He Yuzhu looked up at him with a smile.
"You want to see what I want to do, so if you want to see it, then you should be more diligent and stop dawdling here.
Hurry and scoop out the water."
The neighbors in the courtyard were all people who liked to watch the fun and did not mind the big things. After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he also urged Xu Damao to stop dawdling and quickly go to the house to fetch water.
Seeing this, Xu Damao didn't want to delay any longer. After putting down the bicycle stand, he went to the east wing and scooped out a bucket of water.
"What are we going to do now, just pour it in?"
"No, you just listen to my instructions. I tell you to pour as much as you want.
Otherwise, if you pour too much water and it fails to take shape, I will cause trouble for you."
Seeing that He Yuzhu was still tormenting him, Xu Damao couldn't help but roll his eyes and shouted speechlessly,
"Hey, you're bossing me around.
Okay, for the sake of all the uncles and aunts, I will cooperate with you today. I want to see what you are going to do today. "
"That's right. If you're curious, you have to work."
After that, He Yuzhu continued to stir the coal powder and yellow mud while asking Xu Damao to slowly pour water. Although He Yuzhu knew the ratio of this simple honeycomb coal, after all, this was the first time he made this thing after two lives, and he was a little unsure about the proportion of adding water.
Either they added too much water, or too much coal powder and yellow mud, and they kept tossing around, making Xu Damao very angry.
"I say, Zhuzi, can you do it?
You are not deliberately torturing me here to take revenge on me, are you? "
Looking at the furious Xu Damao, He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm just bored. This is our family's coal. I won't waste it just to mess with you!"
"Tsk, how do I know if what you said is true?
Anyway, you dug this yellow mud from outside the city, and the water and coal powder are not worth a few cents. What if you want to spend a little money to deliberately make trouble for me?
Hurry up, if you can't do it, I will quit. Whoever wants to mess around can do it. "
While Xu Damao was speaking, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and the others were watching from the side. When he finished speaking, the neighbors also started to speak.
"It's the pillar, can you do it?
If it doesn't work, don't bother. You only make a few cents apiece, so if you waste it, it's not a big deal for you."
"Yes,
Otherwise, forget it. If you don’t make this thing, we won’t stay here to watch. Let’s all go home and eat.”
When the neighbors said this, He Yuzhu didn't think anything of it, but Xu Damao, who had just complained, was immediately annoyed.
After all, in his opinion, the conflict between him and He Yuzhu was a matter between the two of them.
He, Xu Damao, can laugh at He Yuzhu, but others can't.
"I said, are you done yet?
Zhuzi and I have been busy for half a day, and we can see that it will be done after a few more tries. Why are you guys making a fuss here?
It's up to you whether you want to watch it or not. If you don't want to watch it, go home and feed your children.
Don't talk nonsense here.
Do you really think we are just bored or something?"
Seeing that He Yuzhu, the person involved, had not yet responded, Xu Damao immediately stood up to refute. The neighbors didn't know what to say.
"Xu Damao, you are such a fool, can't you hear that we are helping you?"
"Go, go, go, who needs your help?
It’s just getting some coal. I really don’t want to help. I’ll just put the ladle down and go home. What’s there to help with?
Zhuzi, hurry up, I have to go home for dinner after you finish."
Seeing Xu Damao return to urge him after retorting to his neighbors, He Yuzhu was busy with his work and said without raising his head,
"It's almost done, don't worry, I'll be there soon and won't delay your meal.
Well, you see, this is all right."
Seeing that the raw material ratio of honeycomb briquettes was almost right, He Yuzhu picked up the tools beside him and started to make it.
Following He Yuzhu's actions,
The round honeycomb coals were neatly placed under the eaves of the east wing.
