Chapter-160: can you really make charcoal…?
She was not even worthy of the name. Rita Lark left with full of fighting spirit. She vowed to do better and be more outstanding than others. As soon as she left, Wilson Lark came over with dinner.
Wendy Lark's eyes lit up, "It smells so good, is it bacon rice?" Wilson Lark opened the lid of the casserole. The rice grains were distinct, and the color, aroma and taste were all delicious. "Yes, try it."
Wendy Lark picked up a spoon, scooped a piece and put it into her mouth. The rice soaked in bacon juice was very tasty and the rice crust at the bottom was crispy and delicious. After eating just two bites, a lark family member's voice rang out from outside.
"Head, some people are running out of charcoal. In such cold weather, they may not be able to survive without charcoal." Charcoal is not distributed. If you want it, please apply to the Logistics Department for purchase and the Logistics Department will do the bulk purchasing.
Every family's situation is different, and it's all up to you. Some people are very careful with their budgets, even down to the daily quantity, and once an accident happens, the supplies will not be enough.
Wendy Lark sighed softly and couldn't even eat her meal in peace. She really couldn't understand these people. Can't they just stock up a little more? They'll need it sooner or later.
Although the carriage cannot hold so many things on the road, you should at least prepare enough for three or four days. "Let's all share the available coal and get through tonight first..." An idea flashed through her mind and she immediately became alert.
"Wait a minute, Uncle John call your youngest son over." Uncle John was shocked. "Him…? Did he come to see you today? Don't pay attention to him. He is a noisy person. He is not steady at all and is easily influenced by others."
This was a hint that someone was instigating this. Wendy Lark heard it, but she just smiled and said, "Let him bring some people over. We will try to make charcoal on the spot. If it succeeds, it will be another way out."
This is possible. Uncle John left happily. As for whether charcoal can be successful, I definitely don't believe what others say, but Wendy Lark says it will definitely work. She never failed. Fourth Brother Lark came over with his men, looking extremely excited.
"Head, have you figured out a way to make money so quickly?" Wendy Lark ate her meal leisurely and ordered casually, "Go find some wood and branches first. They need to be dry. Go quickly."
No one can stop her from eating! Fourth Brother Lark immediately mobilized the men who were doing nothing and ran into the woods. There is strength in numbers and soon everyone came out carrying a bundle of wood. Wendy Lark finally finished her meal.
She wiped her mouth, picked up the fur coat on the couch, put on her hat and then jumped off the carriage. In the cold wind, she led people to choose a wide area and asked, "Who knows how to build a kiln?"
"I can, but I only know the simplest ones." An official came out. His father was a kiln worker, so he knew a little about it from childhood. "Uncle Kai, thank you for your help."
Wendy Lark first asked people to stack the wood into a small hill, placing the large pieces at the bottom and stacking them up one by one.
Clay was mixed with water to make a thin mud outside the wood, and a kiln wall was made with an opening on the top and several air inlets at the bottom. I found some leaves to start a fire, and after lighting the kiln door, smoke soon came out from the exit.
This is called kiln firing. Countless onlookers watched curiously, will this work? Can you make your own charcoal from the market? I've never heard of it. Wendy Lark called Uncle John and his son and Uncle Kai.
"Arrange people to take turns to watch. When everything is red hot, seal the entrance and exit. Wait for the earth kiln to cool down before opening it. Uncle Kai, you have experience, so watch more and pay attention to fire prevention."
"No problem." Uncle Kai patted his chest and assured. After giving the order, Wendy Lark ignored everything and got into the carriage to sleep. She slept soundly and dreamlessly until dawn.
She was woken up by the noise outside in the morning. She opened the car window and asked, "What's going on?"
"Brother Lark wanted to open the kiln to have a look, but Uncle John wouldn't let him, saying that he wanted you to preside over the kiln opening ceremony."
"Wait." Wendy Lark simply washed up and climbed out of the carriage. Fourth Brother Lark was extremely anxious. He hadn't slept all night and had been watching over him. His eyes were red from staying up all night.
"Is it ready to open?" This is related to his future money making plan, so he is very nervous. Some people didn't believe that charcoal could be burned, so they didn't dare to say anything and secretly ran over to watch the fun.
Especially the people from the Foster family, basically they didn't believe it and thought Wendy Lark was a little too proud. The girl is very capable, but it is impossible for her to be good at everything.
How is it possible that he knows everything? Wendy Lark checked it and waved her hand, "Open it." The moment to witness a miracle has arrived. Fourth Brother Lark carefully opened it and pulled away the outermost one.
Ah, it didn't work! It was the wood that was not burned through. The Lark family was very disappointed, but didn't say anything. After all, they had gained so many benefits. The Foster family had no scruples.
