Chapter 192 Burning Charcoal
Author: Zhong Lin
But in addition to the original charcoal-burning stove in the farm, Uncle Liang also found an abandoned stove from the next village and used it together.
Although the latter has been dilapidated for many years compared to the former, it can still be used with some effort and money spent on repairs and repairs.
What Su Xiaomu lacks most now is money, not to mention how much money it can save her if the new carbon can be successfully burned.
So she didn't take this initial investment seriously at all. After getting the stove, she directly arranged for people to cut down trees and burn charcoal.
Su Xiaomu carried the agarwood hairpin that Gu Jingcheng gave her every day. Although she was busy every day and had embarrassing things with Gu Jingcheng a few days ago, she never forgot to make delicious food and stew for him every day.
Medicinal food to replenish the body.
Although the two of them saw each other every day, they couldn't really exchange a few words.
After finally saying something, the hairpin Su Xiaomu was wearing accidentally fell to the ground. He picked it up for her, wiped the dust off and told her: "This hairpin is still a bit...uglier than the previous ones."
Already."
"It's your choice. It's up to you to decide whether it's ugly or not. Besides, who would pay attention to what kind of hairpin I'm wearing?"
Su Xiaomu briefly chatted with him about the agarwood hairpin, then hurriedly finished cooking and continued to devote herself to her charcoal-burning business.
The entire farm was very busy because of the charcoal thing. Even though Gu Jingcheng was not allowed to go out in the yard, he heard a lot about the charcoal making thing.
He asked Zhao Mu to inquire about it. Knowing that Su Xiaomu cut down trees to burn charcoal, he roughly guessed the reason why she went up the mountain that day.
For the sake of business, he could put his personal safety behind. Gu Jingcheng felt that he still had a lot of room for hard work to make his business comparable to hers in Su Xiaomu's heart.
Every time Gu Jingcheng learns about her talents now, the more he admires her abilities, and the more he wants to live a good life with her.
Although now he also feels that he is not worthy of Su Xiaomu in many ways.

"Shi Lan, hasn't the herbal tea been delivered yet?"
"Charcoal is constantly supplied here every day. It's so hot here. Without herbal tea, I'm afraid some workers won't be able to withstand the high temperature."
October is the time when autumn tigers are at their most powerful.
Shi Lan also knew the importance of this matter, so she arranged for her most capable people to make herbal tea.
"Okay, there's an empty stove over there. I'll go over and take a look. I'll leave the tea matter to you."
As soon as Su Xiaomu saw that there was an empty stove, she went to bake it by herself. Now she was looking forward to burning the finished charcoal quickly so that it could be put into use quickly, so that she could spend less money in winter and earn more money.
.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and besides eating and sleeping, she basically stayed here to make charcoal.
Hard work usually pays off, and Su Xiaomu's rewards will come soon.
She had been working for a long time making charcoal, and suddenly someone came to her and said, "Mrs. Su... the charcoal has been burned!"
"Take me to see it quickly!"
Su Xiaomu's eyes were bright and she burst into laughter. She happily followed the worker to see. Sure enough, a small basket of carbon was placed in the middle of a group of workers. They were all smiling, watching with their bronzed skin.
Don't have any meaning in it.
"Is the new carbon burned in the basin this time? There doesn't seem to be much smoke, and the smell... isn't very strong either."
Su Xiaomu got closer and took a sniff. In fact, there was a little bit of smoke smell, but it was almost negligible because Zhumeng Xiaozhu burned a lot of spices every day. The spices could cover the smell of carbon smoke to a certain extent, but it was too big.
It's not good. It's not fragrant or stuffy, and it can kill people if you smell it.
But speaking of her spices... Su Xiaomu remembered that she bought them at Louqi for a very small price.
I haven’t seen him for a long time, and I don’t know if he still remembers the fruit wine.
The last time the two of us separated here, there were still some things in the business that we hadn't completely separated.
"Mrs. Su? Mrs. Su?"
When the workers saw that she didn't continue talking for a long time after she said that, they thought she was not satisfied with the results of their labor, so the worker closest to Su Xiaomu mustered up the courage to ask Su Xiaomu boldly, thinking that if it was true
If there are any problems that need them to improve, it is best to tell them early and correct them early.
"ah?"
Su Xiaomu's thoughts stalled for a while, and she was still a little unresponsive when they pulled her back. Then her brain suddenly came to her, and she immediately looked at the carbon and said: "No problem, just burn it like this first, according to the formula I gave you.
, if something is not enough, just tell Shi Lan, but one thing is, everyone comes to work for me, and we trust each other to make money together."
Su Xiaomu gave them the formula. On the one hand, he believed in their character, and on the other hand, it could save production costs and reduce the complicated parts of the production process.
So she also hopes that these villagers can trust her worthy of her and not let her trust fail.
"The recipe I gave you cannot be told to anyone except you yourself, including your family members. Our charcoal has just been fired not long ago, and we have not yet figured out a completely feasible firing method that can be used forever.
Nowadays, there are still risks, so I hope everyone will not do stupid things."
Su Xiaomu hinted to the workers openly and secretly, and they were really grateful to Su Xiaomu. Everyone had just erected a statue and built a shrine for her, so how could they do anything to betray her?
Besides, the workers are not fools. They can make money now because their boss is Su Xiaomu. She has many wonderful ideas in her head. Charcoal burning is not their only way to make money.
But it's different after leaving Su Xiaomu. There is only one winter a year. You can't finish this meal and skip tomorrow's meal, right?
Therefore, every worker promised to Su Xiaomu that they would not do anything bad to Zhumeng Xiaozhu and would work for Su Xiaomu honestly.
Such a good realization made Su Xiaomu happily give each of them some extra wages.
Looking at their simple appearance, Su Xiaomu couldn't help but think in her heart that the working people in ancient times were indeed smart and simple.
She just gave them an idea, a direction in which they could intervene, and they could really work hard to realize her vision.
Moreover, she always said exactly what she said. No one backstabbed or even complained.
Add money, it doesn’t have to be extra money?
So after Su Xiaomu returned home, he wrote a budget for the new remuneration of the charcoal-burning workers overnight, giving each of them an extra twenty cents a day, and also taking care of a lunch at noon.
