She brought down a basket of coal from the mountain and was going to make honeycomb coal today and show it to Xie Ruiyuan.

Let Xie Ruiyuan send people to find coal mines as soon as possible, and then mine them to make honeycomb coal.

Although the coal mine on the hill is large enough and there is no need to worry about not having enough coal, the territory of Da Zhou is too large.

But the road conditions to every place are poor, even the official roads are not much better. Even if we ride at full speed, it is impossible to transport the honeycomb coal here to the north.

The only solution now is to find a coal mine in the north, but coal mines are not so easy to find.

[Tuanzi, has the geological monitoring equipment been assembled? ]

[Host, it's done. The function of reassembly is relatively simple. It can only find coal mines, and the appearance has been treated to be old, so others can't tell at all. But no matter how much you assemble it, it's still too advanced. After all, there is no such thing in this era. ]

Li Mengyue knew that what Tuanzi said was right, but she had no choice now. She had to leave and go to the north in person.

They could only give the equipment to Xie Ruiyuan and ask him to send people to find a coal mine to make honeycomb coal.

The equipment for detecting coal mines was ready, and Li Mengyue returned home.

"My daughter, I have done everything you asked me to do. Do you think it is okay?"

As soon as Li Mengyue walked into the yard, Li An came over, pointed at something in the corner and asked Li Mengyue.

Seeing the pile of quicklime, yellow mud, sawdust and other things in the corner, Li Mengyue nodded with satisfaction.

If you just want to make honeycomb briquettes, these are not enough, you also need special tools.

Li Mengyue did not do this herself because she had too many things to do and could not spare the time.

He drew a blueprint and gave it to Li An, asking him to go to the town to find a blacksmith to make it.

"Dad, are the tools ready?"

"Of course, my daughter, I will take your instructions to heart. I have already done it and put it in the room. I will go get it out right away."

While Li An went into the house to get tools, Li Mengyue started making coal slime.

Mix the ground coal ash, yellow mud and sawdust in proper proportion, then start adding water and mud.

Just as Li Mengyue started working with a shovel, Li An came out of the house.

"Daughter, put it down, put it down, let daddy do it, this kind of rough work is not for you to do, don't hurt the child."

Li Mengyue hadn't even done anything when the shovel in her hand was taken away by Li An.

Seeing how hard her father worked, she knew she couldn't do it anymore.

And then she remembered that she was pregnant and couldn't do heavy work.

However, it has been more than four months since she became pregnant, but she has no awareness of being a pregnant woman. She just does what she is supposed to do every day and has no spare time.

Sometimes she felt that she must be carrying an angel baby, otherwise why would she feel so sorry for their mother who didn't let her experience any of the difficulties that pregnant women face.

But since her father reminded her, she would not show off her ability, but instead gave orders from the side.

"Dad, add quicklime."

"okay!"

Ever since Li Ang's legs were cured by his daughter, he drinks water with spiritual spring water every day, and his physical condition has undergone tremendous changes.

Even though Ang Lee is the father of four children, when it comes to work, even young men in their twenties can't compare to him.

So without any help from others, Li Ang flipped his hands and quickly the quicklime was blended into the coal mud and yellow mud.

"Dad, add water and stir."

"Okay, girl, stand away and don't let the mud hit you."

Li Mengyue gave up the idea of ​​doing it herself and just stood aside. There was no other skills to do this job anyway.

As long as the coal slime is kneaded into a ball but not loose, and when you pick it up with your hands, black sticky sewage flows out between your fingers, the coal slime is ready.

The process was a bit long, but no matter how long it took, Ang Lee finally got it done.

"Dad, it's OK."

At this time, Li An stopped the shovel in his hand, took the handkerchief from Li Mengyue, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Daughter, what should we do next?"

Li Mengyue didn't say anything, but picked up the tools on the ground next to her.

I saw that this tool was similar to the tools used by farmers in later times to grow cotton.

The whole tool is eighty centimeters high. The iron rod is hollow, and a pressure rod is embedded in it. The pressure rod is the push rod that can spit out the coal balls.

However, under the iron rod, you can see a cylinder with a diameter of about ten centimeters. There are also nine small cylinders evenly distributed inside, with a diameter of about one centimeter.

This place is the most important because this is where the honeycomb holes can be formed.

There is also an iron sheet embedded in the key push rod side, and this iron sheet has nine holes, which fits perfectly with the cylinder.

Li Mengyue put the tool on the coal slime, and the coal slime began to push upwards. Then Li Mengyue stepped on the tongue pusher with her foot and put the tool in the bucket and dipped it in water.

Li An was watching carefully at this time, not missing any move of Li Mengyue.

"Dad, sprinkle some coal ash on the ground."

"it is good."

Then Li Mengyue pressed the tool, the trimmer came up, and a standard coal ball appeared directly on the ground.

Without stopping, Li Mengyue produced four more honeycomb coals in succession.

"Daughter, please stop. Dad has understood. Dad will do it."

As he spoke, Li An took the tools from Li Mengyue and started making honeycomb coal.

Since the method was really not difficult, Li An got the hang of it quickly, and after a while, even Li Mengyue was a little amazed.

"Dad, if one layer doesn't fit, just put it up, two or three layers will do. But leave some space between each coal ball to allow for ventilation."

"Okay, Dad knows."

The weather is still quite hot now, and it is windy that day, so the wet coal balls will dry quickly.

Since Li Mengyue only got a basket of coal blocks from the mountain, which was not a lot, Li An had already made all the coal mud into honeycomb coal.

As soon as Li An stopped, Village Chief Li came over with his men, fifty people in total.

What Li Mengyue didn't expect was that in less than a quarter of an hour, the village chief Ma of Lianhua Village also came with fifty people.

Li Mengyue was a little confused when she saw the people. She seemed to have said that she wanted fifty people from Xinghua Village, but not from the other six villages.

What is this for? Did the other six villages also select fifty people?

Li Mengyue then remembered that she seemed to have indeed overlooked this problem.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, more than 300 people at the door of her house verified her guess.

There are fifty people in each village, and a total of three hundred and fifty people in the seven villages.

Seeing so many people, Li Mengyue did not hesitate to speak to the seven village heads.

"Seven village heads, the most urgent task at the moment, in addition to repairing the reservoir, digging the river, and building the market, is to make more of these molds and produce enough honeycomb coal."

When Village Chief Li and others heard this, they understood what Li Mengyue meant. They believed that the manufacture of honeycomb coal should also be given top priority.
