The waiter politely replied: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will explain it to you right away." After speaking, he glanced at the people around him and said loudly: "I'm afraid you all have such questions. Don't worry. The little one will answer everyone's questions right away. Take your time, don't rush."
After saying that, the boy raised a piece of briquettes and said, "This is called briquettes. You guys may have questions, what is this used for? I'll tell you here, this is used as charcoal for burning."
When the people heard that this dark thing was for burning, there were boos in the crowd. After all, everyone has seen a lot of burning things. Charcoal can be used for burning, and stone charcoal can be used for burning. It is not unusual to have this additional thing.
Seeing that the appeal of briquettes to everyone suddenly dropped, the clerk was not in a hurry and continued confidently: "You know, the things to burn here include firewood, charcoal, and charcoal. In everyone's opinion, Xiao This thing in my hand may be really tight. But today I want to tell you that this briquette must be better than everyone thinks."
Seeing all the people's eyes focused on him, the clerk suddenly felt his blood boiling in his heart. He struck while the iron was hot and shouted: "Every guest knows that charcoal is easy to ignite, but it is not resistant to burning; while charcoal is resistant to burning, but not resistant to burning." Easy to ignite.”
When the boy said this, he paused and raised the briquettes in his hands again, "And the briquettes in the young man's hands are as easy to ignite as charcoal and as resistant to burning as pebbles!"
After the guy finished speaking, there was an uproar among the crowd.
The bold person immediately asked: "Are you lying to everyone? Are there such things in this world that have the best of both worlds? This old man has lived for so many years, how come he has never heard of it?"
The others also had doubtful expressions, staring closely at the boy, as if they wanted to see the truth or falsehood of what he said from the expression on his face.
The clerk held up the briquettes, smiled slightly, and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Whether it is true or false, we will know after a try."
After saying that, he waved to others on the side to bring the prepared brazier over.
The man used pliers to put the briquettes on the brazier in full view of everyone.
The man put down the briquettes, turned around and asked the people watching, "Guess, how long does it take to ignite this briquettes?"
The few people standing at the front looked at each other and looked at each other in confusion. They did not speak rashly. They just stared at the briquettes in the brazier, as if they wanted to see how the briquettes were lit with their own eyes.
The waiter didn't keep everyone waiting for too long. It was just a matter of chatting for a few words. The waiter picked up the briquettes with pliers and showed them to everyone with the bottom facing them.
Now, the waiter didn't need to say anything more, the people started talking about it one after another.
"In such a short period of time, the briquettes were actually ignited. Calculating it this way, it is actually not much worse than charcoal."
"Yes, yes. In the old man's opinion, this is almost the same as charcoal..."
Seeing that everyone believed what he just said, the guy smiled and said, "You didn't lie to everyone. I said this is as easy to ignite as charcoal, is that true?"
"Really, truly, truer than gold."
"Yes, this guy is an honest person." Someone gave the guy a thumbs up.
"Okay, now that everyone believes it, let me tell you how to use this briquette." The guy pointed to the coal stove and continued: "Did you see it? This is the coal specially used to burn briquettes. stove."
With that said, the clerk put the briquettes into the coal stove, added two more briquettes, and aligned the holes according to Han Du's instructions.
After doing all this, the man put down the pliers in his hands. Explained: "Perhaps everyone is wondering, why do we not use the stove to burn this honeycomb briquette, but use this coal stove?"
The people around him burst out laughing after hearing this. They indeed had this question. Since this briquette is used as charcoal for burning, why not just burn it directly instead of using such a weird looking thing.
He waved to a guest officer in front, "This guest officer, please come forward."
The person who was called by the waiter flinched when he heard this and was about to retreat. But behind him, everyone was crowded, where could he retreat to?
Not only did he not retreat to the back, but he was forced to retreat in front of the clerk by the busybody behind him.
Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately took the man's arm and said softly: "Don't be afraid, guest sir. I came to you just to invite you to experience it with your own hands. There is no other meaning."
Hearing what the clerk said, it was hard for this person to retreat. If he insisted on retreating now, wouldn't it mean that he was afraid?
Seeing that the man did not retreat, the clerk stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please reach over here and try."
The man put his hand over the coal stove as instructed, and suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing over his hand. He said truthfully: "There is a heat, a bit hot."
The man straightened up and explained with a smile: "That's why the fire has just been raised, and the flames haven't come out yet. After the flames burn up, it will be effective."
After a while, blue flames burst out from the coal stove.
The onlookers all widened their eyes in surprise. The waiter really didn't lie to them.
When the waiter saw the flames appear, he waved an iron pot over and put it on the coal stove. Suddenly, a burst of oily smoke came out quickly from small to large.
Someone who was cooking at home suddenly exclaimed, "This, this fire is so powerful, the oil heats up so fast..."
Seeing that everyone had finished watching, the waiter quickly removed the iron pot and placed a copper basin filled with water.
"At home, you have to wash up in the morning, right? It's inconvenient to boil hot water in a pot, right? But using a coal stove will be extremely convenient."
In just a few words, the water in the copper basin began to emit slight steam.
The waiter gestured to the guest next to him and said, "This guest can try the water. Is it hot?"
The man followed the instructions and put his hand into the water to try it. His expression suddenly changed, he nodded and said truthfully: "It is indeed hot water."
Seeing that the guest officer had been allowed to try everything, the waiter held his hand and said, "Thank you, guest officer, you can go back."
The man's face turned red, as if he was congested. Different from the initial timidity, now he is full of enthusiasm and seems to be a bit high-spirited. When he heard the waiter ask him to go back to his original position, he still looked a little unsatisfied.
