No one believed it, and the distrust was written on the faces of the girls.
But no one dared to speak, they were afraid that they would leave a bad influence on He Lin's heart.
Seeing this, He Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"If it doesn't work, forget it. When the briquettes solidify, I'll give you a try."
After saying that, He Lin worked hard and started making balls of briquettes.
There is no way, there is no mold and no production line yet.
He Lin can only operate it with his hands. When he has money in the future, he can make a membrane tool and find more workers to help.
Seeing this, Xi Zhihui's eyes flashed slightly. Regardless of the mess, she squatted beside He Lin and dug her delicate jade hands into the black mixture.
He Lin's heart was shocked when his fair and slender hands were stained by the black mixture.
"Madam..." He Lin's eyes moved slightly and he called softly.
Xi Zhihui pursed her lips, her eyes shining brightly:
"It is my duty to share your husband's worries."
He Lin opened his lips slightly, holding back some of the chauvinistic words in his heart.
Now is the time to save manpower. Even if he doesn't sleep all night, he can't make more than a hundred briquettes.
Where do you start if you want to make money?
He Lin was moved in his heart: "Thank you madam, it's just a pain for me."
Xi Zhihui's mouth was slightly open, her eyes were filled with mist, and her nose was slightly sour as she said:
"Husband, you can't say this. You and I are family."
Xi Zhihui was so moved that she burst into tears. This was the first time she felt such care.
Xi Zhihui has never heard the word "thank you" from a man.
Seeing this, the girls stepped forward to help.
Xi Zhihui was relatively calm and ordered: "Xiaoqin, Xiaoxiao, you two go cook. Come and help, eat what has been gone for a while."
Xiaoqin and Xiaoxiao can only accept them.
He Lin was very satisfied with Xi Zhihui's performance. She already had the style of a hostess.
Everyone gathered firewood with great enthusiasm, and it only took two hours.
He Linhe's coal had been used up and was exchanged for 542 briquettes.
He Lin wanted to continue, but Xiaoxiao and Xiaoqin called out: "It's time to eat!"
He Lin and the girls just finished washing their hands and entered the room.
Looking at the clear soup on the dining table, He Lin's expression was extremely ugly.
There are only three dishes on the dining table.
A portion of soup, with a few vegetable leaves floating on the surface of the soup, and no trace of oil could be seen.
A dish of wild vegetables dug from nowhere. It didn't look appetizing at all.
There was also a portion of scrambled eggs, but the quantity was very small, only enough for two or three people.
Finally, there is the steaming rice that has been served.
The rice is very rough and does not have the crystal clear feeling of later generations.
The corners of He Lin's mouth twitched slightly and his face turned dark.
When Peng Xiaoxiao saw this, her small body kept trembling: "Husband, it's all my fault. These are the only things in the house..."
Qiu Xiaoqin bit her lip and said tremblingly: "Husband, I'm sorry."
He Lin pursed his lips, waved his hands slightly, and sighed:
"You don't have to say sorry to me, it's all because your husband is incompetent!"
All the women laughed so hard and said in unison:
"No, how can my husband say that about himself?"
He Lin hugged Peng Xiaoxiao and Qiu Xiaoqin into his arms and said seriously:
"Don't worry, I will let you live the best life in the world from now on."
He Lin couldn't stomach the whole meal.
The girls were very sensible and didn't dare to pick up an egg with chopsticks.
It was He Lin who distributed the eggs evenly so that everyone could eat a little bit of meat and fat.
He Lin knew that such a life would not work.
That night, He Lin continued to work, mixing loose coal with loess one to one, and then making briquettes.
Two days passed like this, and He Lin's courtyard was filled with briquettes.
Even outside the courtyard, there are the sounds and shadows of countless briquettes.
The first batch of more than 500 pieces of briquettes have been dried.
He Lin started burning with anticipation, wanting to see if the briquettes had such a good effect.
The girls looked at the briquettes gradually turning red in the brazier with different expressions.
Xi Zhihui fanned her hand on the brazier, and then sniffed:
"Sure enough, there is no poisonous gas anymore, and the pungent smell from burning loose coal is completely gone."
The girls also felt it was very magical and looked at He Lin with exaggerated expressions:
"Husband, you are really amazing. Briquettes are so useful."
He Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, waved his hand and said:
"Let's go to the market in the town. They sell briquettes."
He Lin rented an ox cart with three cents and dragged the briquettes towards the market town of Yongkang County.
Yongkang County has a large population. After all, there is a war in the northwest, and countless refugees and even wealthy businessmen have fled to Yongkang County.
Nowadays, the market towns in Yongkang County are extremely busy.
He Lin found a place and lifted the cloth on the bullock cart, revealing the dark and strange briquettes.
He Lin shouted with a loud voice:
"Pass by and take a look. Helin brand briquettes, enjoy a different warm experience."
"If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss. If you can't buy it, you will be fooled..."
He Lin yelled loudly, matching the jingle of later generations.
Not long after, a large number of people had gathered in front of his bullock cart.
Today's honeycomb briquettes are so different from loose coals that no one even knows they are loose coals and think they are some novelty.
He Lin burned the briquettes at the scene and watched the briquettes gradually turn red and then yellow. Everyone felt more and more magical.
"This thing is really fun and a bit interesting."
"What does he mean, this is coal? He doesn't seem to want to."
"The most important thing is that when coal is burned here, there is no pungent smell, and it takes a long time to burn..."
"This stuff is really good. I'll give it a try for two yuan."
"..."
He Lin shouted at this time: "Ten yuan for two hundred yuan, twenty-two yuan for four hundred yuan, thirty-three yuan for six hundred yuan... The more you buy, the more you will get as a gift, so everyone can buy as much as you like."
If future generations come up with marketing plans, today’s people will be able to resist them.
Two hundred cents is ten cents, and one dollar is twenty cents.
Four hundred pennies is twenty-two yuan, and the extra two yuan is forty pennies earned in vain.
Everyone rushed to buy more than 500 pieces of briquettes.
He Lin didn't count how many copper coins there were, but he thought it must have exceeded 100,000 copper coins, which was more than ten thousand copper coins.
He Lin threw the money bag to Xi Zhihui coolly.
Xi Zhihui caught the money bag and lowered her hand.
Xi Zhihui looked at the bulging money bag. She, who was always steady and dignified, couldn't help but jump for joy.
The women accompanying him looked at He Lin with stars in their eyes.
"Husband, you are so amazing. You made more than ten dollars in just one day."
"Husband, there is nothing wrong with us following you."
"Husband, I love you so much!"
"...."
He Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, waved his hand again and said:
"We have money, let's spend it. You can buy whatever you want, and I'll pay for it."
The girls jumped up with joy and pulled He Lin through the market town.
