I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

"Brother Hua, let's go quickly!" Er Laizi said weakly.

After all, the last time Huaxi was beaten was mainly caused by him, so he always felt a little guilty.

If there were no incidents caused by him, Wu Fei would not be encountered, Hua Xi would not have rushed to the scene, and if he did not arrive, he would not have been beaten.

In this case, there will be no series of things that happened later.

Hearing that someone took the lead to inquire about this matter, Huaxi's subordinates began to echo what Er Laizi said.

Seeing that no one objected, Huaxi re-emphasized the things that need to be paid attention to.

It's nothing more than asking as many people as possible, please don't repeat yourself, and be more polite when you go out, after all, it is to inquire about things.

Huaxi knew that her subordinates were used to being in the dental market every day, and she was afraid that the inquiry would turn into a fight.

Erlaizi and the others agreed nonchalantly, and walked out to get down to business.

Wu Fei took Wu Fu back home and started to go to Yao Mansion to find Fatty Yao.

When Fatty Yao heard about Wu Fei's visit, he ran out quickly to meet him at the door.

Because of Wu Fei, Fatty Yao reversed his image in Yao Zhijian's eyes and became a prodigal son.

His life has been very different since then.

After seeing Wu Fei, Fatty Yao sprinted a few steps and came to the front.

"Brother Wu, you are a rare visitor, why are you here today?" Fatty Yao asked, leading Wu Fei to the living room of his house.

"What's the matter? Can't I come?" Wu Fei asked back.

"How could it be? Brother Wu, when you come, my place is full of splendor! How could you not welcome me?"

"Hehe, fat man, you can talk a lot now!"

"I learned it all from you, Brother Wu!" Fatty Yao patted Wu Fei's flattery.

The two of them fought and came to the living room of Yao Mansion.

After the two sat down as guest and host, and the maid served tea and left, Wu Fei asked seriously.

"Fatty, what do you use to light the fire in Yao's kitchen? Is it firewood or charcoal?"

"Um, Brother Wu, why did you ask this question? I really don't know!" Fatty Yao smiled wryly.

Wu Fei couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that he was being too reckless.

Obviously, Fatty Yao is a young man. How could this kind of person care about things in the kitchen?

So Wu Fei said to Fatty Yao: "Fatty, go and call the butler from your house, let me ask him."

Fatty Yao agreed, and told the guards around him to call the housekeeper over.

Not long after, the housekeeper of Yao Mansion came to the living room.

The butler saluted Fatty Yao first, and then asked, "Master, you call me!"

Fatty Yao turned his head and said to the butler: "I have something to do, this is my brother Wu, he has something to ask you, if you know something, please answer it properly!"

The steward nodded quickly.

Only then did Fatty Yao say to Wu Fei: "Brother Wu, you can ask!"

Wu Fei glanced at Steward Yao, and asked, "Butler Yao, it's nothing serious!"

"I just want to know, what kind of fire is used in the kitchen of your house? Firewood or something else?"

Steward Yao thought for a while, and replied, "If you go back to Mr. Wu, the charcoal we use in the kitchen seems to be!"

"Then take me to see it!" Wu Fei said.

Butler Yao glanced at Fatty Yao.

"Don't look at me, just take what Brother Wu said as what I said!" Fatty Yao said.

Only then did Steward Yao agree.

Then he walked in front, leading Wu Fei and Fatty Yao to the kitchen.

Under the leadership of Steward Yao, the three of them quickly came to the kitchen.

The people who were busy saw Butler Yao leading his young master over, they all stood up quickly and said hello to Fatty Yao.

Fatty Yao waved his hand and let them continue working.

The three of them entered the kitchen, only to see that charcoal was indeed being used in the kitchen stove.

"Take me to the woodshed, please?" Wu Fei continued.

Steward Yao nodded, and led Wu Fei to the woodshed in the backyard.

The backyard is very close to here, and it should have been considered when it was built, so it is more convenient to get charcoal and other items.

There are piles of charcoal and several piles of firewood in the firewood room.

"Isn't this firewood?" Wu Fei asked.

"That's right!" Yao Butler replied, "However, the supply of firewood on the market is too small recently, and the price has also risen sharply, so we switched to burning charcoal!"

"So that's how it is!" Wu Fei said, and continued, "Okay, we can go back now, please trouble housekeeper Yao!"

Housekeeper Yao was flattered and said: "Mr. Wu is too polite, you are our young master's friend, this is what I should do!"

"Oh, by the way, do you know what is used by the officials that Master Yao is acquainted with?" Wu Fei asked.

Butler Yao lowered his head and thought for a while.

"I asked the stewards in their house about this, after all, the masters are so familiar! They should be the same as our house, mainly using charcoal!"

"Oh? Are you sure?" Wu Fei asked.

"I can assure you. After all, many housekeepers have complained recently that the price of firewood has risen too much!"

"Then I know, please forgive me!"

"Young Master Wu is too polite!"

Seeing that Wu Fei finally finished asking, Fatty Yao, who was waiting impatiently, immediately beamed with joy, and took him back to the living room.

Wu Fei shied away for a while, saying that he had to hurry to Liu Mei's house and ask about the situation of their house.

When Fatty Yao heard it, he was immediately happy. He was bored at home.

So, he asked to be a guest at Liu Mei's house with Wu Fei.

Now, Wu Fei had no choice but to take Fatty Yao to Liu Mei's house together.

After meeting Liu Mei, what Wu Fei learned was similar to that of Fatty Yao's family.

Liu also uses charcoal at home, and occasionally uses firewood.

Wu Fei was a little puzzled. He clearly remembered that there were coal mines around Kaifeng, both in Xiangzhou (now Hebi, Henan) and Huaizhou (now Qinyang City).

The coal mines in these two places are about 160 kilometers away from Feng.

But why in the Song Dynasty, no one used coal mines?

So Wu Fei began to question Liu Mei.

"Brother Liu, do you know that there is a kind of black stone that can be set on fire and used for cooking!"

Liu Mei thought for a while and said: "I really know this. Isn't it coal you're talking about? But it's said that it's not easy to use, it's all powder, it's too dirty to burn, and it's troublesome!"

Wu Fei was pleasantly surprised. It seems that someone has discovered the coal mine, but they didn't use it properly, so they didn't use it on a large scale.

So, he continued to ask: "Brother Liu, do you know where there is a coal mine? Who is doing this business?"

"Well, I really don't know very well, after all, I only make silver jewelry!" Liu Mei replied.

"Brother Liu, can you ask for me, I'm very useful!"

"No problem, this bag is on me, I will go out and ask in a while!" Liu Mei began to take care of everything.
