Looking into the expectant eyes of the workers, Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, I want to teach you how to make something new today."
"This thing is called briquettes, and it can replace charcoal and become a new heating tool."
What?
Replace charcoal?
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.
Master Hu's tone is really loud.
You must know that charcoal is the heating tool they have used since childhood. Why did Master Hu say that charcoal has become something that can be replaced at any time?
Although everyone has doubts in their hearts, they are not many.
After all, these are the words Master Hu said!
After what happened several times before, these workers have already admired Hu Changan very much.
In the eyes of these workers, if Mr. Hu said it was possible, it must be possible.
No matter how outrageous things are, they may become reality!
Hu Changan looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
I saw Hu Changan suddenly pull out a strange-shaped tool with a long pole from behind his back.
Hu Changan walked slowly to the pile of wet coal that had just been washed, and pressed the mold hard.
After a while of squeezing, the wet coal took its shape and turned into the briquettes that Hu Changan was familiar with in his previous life.
The reason why Hu Changan chose to make briquettes freshly in the coal workshop is because making briquettes requires wet coal.
Only wet coal can effectively set the shape.
If it is operated after being transported to the city, the coal and water must be mixed again.
And here, ready-made coal that has just been washed with water piles up like a mountain.
In this way, the step of adding water is saved.
Seeing that the briquettes had been formed, Hu Changan used special tweezers to place the newly made briquettes on the square aside, and said to everyone: "Everyone, this newly made briquettes still need to be placed in the sun to dry."
"As long as it is left in the sun for another two or three days, the briquettes will be ready."
Everyone looked at Hu Changan's operation and felt it was very strange.
One of them rubbed his hands and seemed to be unable to contain his excitement: "Master Hu, can you let me try this thing too?"
"Of course." Hu Changan generously handed over the tool in his hand.
The man quickly imitated Hu Changan's example and pressed wet coals aside.
Judging from his appearance, he was extremely busy.
Hu Changan smiled slightly and waved to the boy behind him.
The boy understood the idea and immediately picked up a handful of tools from the carriage behind and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Hu Changan looked at the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, from now on, all of you will be divided into two groups."
"One wave washes the coal, and the other is responsible for making the briquettes."
"You only need to keep half of the washed coal to dry and transport it to the city."
"You can keep the other wet coal to make briquettes."
Hu Changan looked at a few people who had already started working, and added: "When you are drying the briquettes, remember to leave a little gap in each piece of coal to facilitate ventilation."
After everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly and took their tools to prepare for work.
However, just when everyone was about to disperse, a weak voice interrupted everyone's movements.
The one who spoke was a slightly thin craftsman.
"Master Hu, I wonder what the holes in the briquettes are used for?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"What kind of person is the young master? He said to leave holes, so there is a reason for leaving holes. Why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you just do it?"
"What are you asking? It's just like the moon in the sky is curved. What else could be the reason?"
However, when Hu Changan heard these compliments, he did not feel happy. Instead, he frowned.
Although he hoped that these craftsmen would listen to him, he also did not want them to lose their ability to think independently.
After all, his own power is limited.
As the saying goes, teaching a man how to fish is worse than teaching him how to fish.
It’s not surprising to know how to do it, the key is to know why you do it.
Only in this way can everyone continue to grow and progress in their work.
Facing the ridicule of everyone, the thin craftsman was also a little embarrassed.
However, just as he was about to turn back to work, he was stopped by Hu Changan: "What is your name, the person who just asked the question?"
"Back to Master Hu, the villain's name is Li Xiaoer."
Li Xiaoer turned around anxiously, looked at Hu Changan and said nervously.
Li Xiaoer felt very uneasy.
Could it be that my unintentional words just now offended Master Hu?
He doesn't want to lose this hard-won job!
However, Hu Changan smiled at him.
Hu Changan patted Li Xiaoer on the shoulder and confirmed the question he just asked: "Li Xiaoer, you are good like this."
"Only if we are good at asking why can we make progress!"
After that, Hu Changan turned to the other workers and said seriously: "Everyone, although I know more than you, I am not omnipotent."
"As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and your practice depends on the individual."
"All I can do is bring you in. What's more important is your understanding at work in the future."
"Only by learning to ask why can you draw inferences from one example and come up with innovative ideas at work, thereby improving work processes and achieving higher work efficiency."
"If you have any questions at work in the future, be sure to ask me in time. As long as I am free, I will definitely answer your questions!"
After hearing this, everyone paused for a moment and then fell into deep thought.
Indeed, Hu Changan is so powerful that they have subconsciously deified Hu Changan and given up their own thinking.
This is a very bad phenomenon.
Everyone knows that when working, we must draw inferences from one example and think carefully.
But after having Hu Changan, they seemed to have become accustomed to relying on Hu Changan and forgot to make their own thinking.
Looking at everyone's thoughtful expressions, Hu Changan also smiled slightly.
It seems that what he just said had an effect.
Hu Changan doesn't want his craftsmen to be just a bunch of puppets who can only obey.
At this time, Li Xiaoer was also radiant.
He never expected that the aloof young master would praise him in front of everyone!
From now on, he must work and think more seriously to impress Master Hu.
Looking at the energetic Li Xiaoer, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and answered his doubts.
"The reason why I want you to leave holes between the briquettes is because this will facilitate the entry of air during combustion and make the coal burn more fully."
"This way, the coal can release more heat."
"At the same time, doing so can also reduce incomplete combustion of coal." This chapter has been completed!
