Two-quarters of an hour later, Gerile walked home carrying a briquette stove and Xiao Hu, who was wearing a cotton coat, trousers and jacket.
In his hand, he was also holding a bag of ten briquettes specially given by the store.
Until now, Gerile couldn't believe what he had just experienced. Under the salesman's promotion, he replaced the three sheep he had brought with him with these things in his hands, but at this moment he was still feeling a little restless. .
Not to mention cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers and cotton-padded jackets, a set is worth it.
Whether this briquette stove and briquettes are as good as the guy said is open to question, so I can only wait until I get home to try them.
Gerile quickened his pace to go home. The sky was covered with heavy snow, and the traces of his journey were quickly covered by the falling snow...
Evening, Cole Department.
In the yurt of Gerile's family.
Gerile, his wife, and their daughter, Xiao Sanji, and their family of three sat in front of a briquette stove and looked at each other.
"Hey, dear husband, how do you use this thing?"
Hearing his wife's inquiry, Gerile carefully recalled what the boy said during the day. He tentatively picked up a piece of briquettes and put it into the briquette stove. Then he lit a handful of hay at the lower opening of the stove and threw it in. Then he waited quietly.
"I heard that guy said that's all. Just a dozen pieces of these coals can burn for a day and a night."
"is that true?"
Such doubts were buried in the minds of the three people, but everyone did not speak but waited quietly.
Soon, the hay burning under the stove ignited the briquettes at the bottom of the stove, and the briquettes began to burn red.
The small briquettes quickly showed their huge energy. The rising temperature in the yurt quickly drove away the cold. The family surrounding the briquettes stove felt warm all over.
The faces of the family in the photo were as red as apples.
Little Sangji couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.
"Oh! Great! This little black ball is really useful, Abu, this little black ball can really bring warmth! Great!"
Gerile, who had always kept a straight face and kept his heart in mind, finally smiled.
Great, this thing called briquettes is really useful. As long as you can make sure that a dozen pieces can burn it for a day and a night, then you don’t have to buy the high-priced firewood from the Li family, and you can keep it in your home this winter. More sheep.
Gerile's wife was also very happy. She was even so excited that she couldn't help but close her hands and began to pray to the Changsheng Heaven.
The effect of briquettes has been unanimously affirmed by the Grile family.
Soon all three coals in a stove were filled. According to the guy, this way, as long as you get up at night and replace the burned coals, you can keep warm all night long.
Moreover, when preparing dinner, Gerile's wife, who had originally planned to use the flame of the briquette stove to grill meat, suddenly had a whim and placed the only iron pot in the house on the briquette stove, covering it tightly.
Then fill it with the snow water brought back from outside, put in the mutton and salt, and soon a hot pot of mutton soup will come out of the oven.
The discovery that this stove can also be used to cook soup made the whole family very excited. They said that this stove was worth buying.
You must know that in the past, they could only cook a bowl of hot mutton soup in an iron pot outside the yurt when it was not snowing.
Now with this stove, they can cook soup in the yurt without worrying about burning down the yurt.
Of course, in order to prevent poisoning like the previous charcoal, Gerile deliberately opened a small hole on the top of the yurt, and used cloth and wood to make something similar to a curved chimney above the small hole, so that rain and snow would not escape. It will fall from the hole and the smoke can be discharged.
Just as the family was happily drinking hot mutton soup and enjoying the rare comfort in winter, with a shout, the curtain of the yurt was opened from the outside.
"Gerile!"
A rough and arrogant man with a beard opened the door curtain and walked in. As soon as he came in and saw the Grile family drinking soup, everyone was stunned on the spot.
Gerile heard the sound and looked up, oh~ I know this person, he is his good friend Buck, a famous sheep farmer in the tribe. Every year, his family can raise more sheep than others. It can be said that he is good at raising sheep. A wealthy family in the tribe.
"It's Buck, why are you here? Come on, come on, we happen to be having dinner. Have you eaten? Come and have a bowl of soup to warm your body!"
Seeing his friend arriving, Gerile immediately greeted him warmly.
Buck was brought to the coal stove by Grile in a daze, and then Grile's wife filled him with a bowl of steaming mutton soup and put it in his hand.
Feeling the coldness gradually disappearing around his body, and then looking at the hot soup in his hand, and the cauldron rolling and bubbling in front of him, Buck felt the shock in his heart that he didn't know how to express.
It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he quickly put the bowl in his hand on the ground, pointed at the coal stove and asked Grile in shock: "Brother Grile, this... this... what is this? ! Why can it be so warm here and still be used to make soup?"
He was not stupid, and he could naturally see that what caused this scene must be caused by the big mound-like thing wrapped in silver-white iron in front of him.
Seeing his appearance, Gerile immediately laughed and said:
"Hahahaha, how about Buck, amazing, right?
This thing is called a coal stove. Just put three pieces of coal in it and it can burn for half a night to provide warmth. Just a dozen pieces of coal can keep the yurt warm all day and night. It can also be used to make soup. It is simply A good thing that kills two birds with one stone! "
Buck nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and couldn't help but echo: "Magical! Miraculous! It's really amazing, this is such a treasure! My dear Grile, where did you get this treasure? If it were my family It would be nice to have one too.
This is much easier to use than firewood. Every time I use that thing, I am afraid that it will burn my yurt, but I can't withstand the cold winter if I don't use it.
I'm really worried to death. You don't know that the damn Li's Trading Company has increased its prices this year. It took me twenty-four sheep to get enough for our family for a week. "
Mentioning this, Gerel suddenly agreed with empathy:
"Buck, you're right. The Li's Trading Company is really a greedy place. I went there today, but I didn't have enough sheep, so I didn't change them. When I came back, I happened to see a shop selling this coal stove, so he took me with him. The sheep that went away were replaced by this one, it’s really a blessing from the eternal God!”
"What? This magical baby is sold in the city? How many sheep are needed?"
Buck was shocked when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked the price.
Gerile held out two fingers.
Buck then said: "Twenty sheep?"
Then he began to think deeply and murmured: "If the so-called coal is not expensive, the price of twenty sheep for this thing is not expensive."
After hearing this, Gerile laughed, approached Buck and said slowly: "Buck, not twenty sheep, but two sheep can be exchanged for this coal stove. In addition, it only costs the price of one sheep." Two hundred pieces of coal are enough for a family to use for seven or eight days!"
"What! So cheap!"
Buck was shocked and speechless by the cheap price.
