Yuan Feng couldn't help but look at Bi Lan beside him and asked curiously, "Hmm? What are they doing?"
Bi Lan replied respectfully, "In response to your question, Sikong, that's the residue from cleaning the furnace walls and removing the slag from yesterday. It piled up there, and I thought it was an eyesore, so I had someone prepare to remove it!"
"kindness!"
Yuan Feng nodded and was about to board the carriage when he suddenly stopped, feeling as if something was amiss.
"Sikong?"
Bi Lan, standing to the side, looked at Yuan Feng with some confusion.
"That's not right. Do you think it would take more than a dozen people to work so hard to remove the slag and residue from the furnace walls?"
Yuan Feng frowned and looked at the people who were constantly swinging sledgehammers. If you didn't know better, you would think they were blasting open a mountain.
"Let's go take a look!!"
This illogical phenomenon caught Yuan Feng's attention.

After glancing at these people, Yuan Feng turned to look at the pile of slag to the side. Looking at the slag that had solidified into something like a rock, a look of surprise appeared on Yuan Feng's face.
A leader respectfully replied, "In response to the Minister, because the weather was dry and windy a few days ago, in order to prevent water from flowing away, Dr. Gongshu instructed me to pour water on this pile of slag to stir and cool it down."
To my surprise, when I went to clean them up today, they had all clumped together!
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng curiously picked up a fist-sized piece of the mixture of slag and carbon ash and examined it closely.
"This doesn't seem to have been formed from freezing!"
