Zhou Bin and Aniu pulled the things back home, and then he prepared other things that would be needed, such as ropes, bamboo cages, bags, etc.
Now all that’s left is to wait for the formalities to be completed before we can officially open for business.
Zhou Jianming was extremely happy as he saw his son's coal yard was about to open, but suddenly he thought of a problem.
So he quickly said to Zhou Bin: "Binbin, you said you want to make honeycomb briquettes, can you do it?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just mixing the coal with water and then beating it with a coal beater?"
Zhou Jianming shook his head and said, "You think it's too simple. Making honeycomb coal also requires skills. How much soil to mix, how much water to add, how much coal to add, there is a lot of knowledge involved."
Zhou Bin suddenly realized that, yes, he had thought too simply.
These technologies may seem insignificant, but they are directly related to the quality of coal briquettes. I really don't know much about this aspect.
He immediately asked, "Dad, what do you say we should do?"
Zhou Jianming suggested: "I think you need to find someone who can do this and teach everyone."
Zhou Bin nodded and said, "Yes, but who would do this?"
Zhou Jianming thought for a moment and said, "I remember there was an old man in Dongyuan Village who used to work in a coal yard."
When Zhou Bin heard this, he thought, isn’t this someone from Xiujuan’s village?
Thinking of this, he hurried to find Aniu.
Ah Niu was at home telling Liu Junxiu about the big meal he had in the county with great excitement. When he saw Zhou Bin coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, why are you here? Come and sit down."
Liu Junyi smiled and said, "Hey, Zhou Bin, how come you are so capable? You can even speak foreign languages?"
Zhou Bin grinned and said, "Don't listen to Ah Niu's nonsense. I know a little bit."
Ah Niu said loudly: "I'm not exaggerating. You've been talking nonsense for a long time. Do you know anything?"
Liu Junyi said sincerely: "Zhou Bin, it is really a blessing for Ah Niu to follow you. You should teach him more in the future."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will definitely teach him."
Ah Niu asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Bin asked with a smile: "Aniu, how are you and Xiujuan doing recently?"
Ah Niu didn't expect him to ask this question, and he blushed at the time, lowered his head and said, "No, nothing, it's just like that."
Liu Junyi continued, "This kid is just shameless. He says this and that is fine with the girl, but he just won't go looking for her. You are not a prince, and you will be dumbfounded if she finds a boyfriend one day."
Ah Niu became even more embarrassed by what he said, and said, "Dad, please don't say it."
Zhou Bin laughed: "Aniu, your father is right. If you are interested, you should go for it. If you stay at home all day, how can others know what you mean?"
Ah Niu said embarrassedly: "I, I want to go too, but I don't know what to say when I get there!"
Zhou Bin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are such a big boy, why are you still so shy? Here, I'll take you there to have a good look at Xiujuan and her father."
Ah Niu raised his head in surprise: "Brother, you want to go with me?"
Zhou Bin nodded and said, "Yeah, what's up?"
Aniu looked hesitant, not knowing what to do.
Liu Junyi slapped him on the head and said, "You coward! Your brother is so busy and wants to take you with him, but you don't want to?"
Ah Niu was beaten so badly that he quickly said, "Brother, I'll go, I'll go!"
Zhou Bin quickly explained: "Uncle Liu, please don't hit Ah Niu. I am not only going to ask Ah Niu to see Xiujuan this time, but also to find someone else."
Liu Junyi asked curiously: "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Bin said: "My dad told me that there is an old man in the village who used to work in the coal yard. I want to invite him to come and help me."
Liu Junyi looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, you're talking about old man Zhang San!"
Zhou Bin immediately asked: "Uncle Liu, do you know this person?"
Liu Junyi smiled and said, "I have seen this old man before. He is a strange man with a bad temper. I heard from his villagers that he has lived alone in a broken kiln at the west end of the village all year round."
"Then he has no sons or daughters?" Zhou Bin asked.
"It seems not. I heard that he is just an old man living alone and has never been married in his life." Liu Junyi said.
Zhou Bin was a little curious. What kind of person was this old man? Why had he never gotten married in his life?
I'll wait until he goes there tomorrow and ask him. I don't know if I can invite him.
After finishing the story, Zhou Bin instructed before leaving: "Aniu, take some crabs and river shrimps, buy some snacks and sugar, and we will go to Dongyuan Village after breakfast tomorrow."
Aniu quickly agreed, and Zhou Bin left with a smile.
After breakfast the next day, Zhou Bin came to see Aniu.
As soon as he saw Ah Niu, he smiled. Ah Niu had changed into new clothes and combed his hair shiny, looking like a traitor.
He couldn't help but teasingly said, "Aniu, you look very handsome today!"
Ah Niu grinned: "Brother, please stop laughing at me."
Zhou Bin asked: "Have you prepared the gifts for my father-in-law?"
Ah Niu smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I'm ready. I even bought a pack of cigarettes."
Zhou Bin said approvingly, "That's right. You should be more generous when you go to Xiujuan's house. She's a pretty girl, and there must be a lot of people thinking about her. You have to be more careful."
Ah Niu nodded and said, "Brother, I will listen to you and I will perform well."
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "Okay, let's go."
The tricycle emitted a puff of black smoke and rumbled towards Dongyuan Village.
