Imperial Calendar, January 22, 1449.
Lower Reif County, Rapids City.
The intermittent heavy snow that lasted a week finally stopped, and a warm sun appeared once again in the cold sky.
Residents took out their moldy quilts, hanging them in courtyards or on rooftops to dry.
The chimneys of the modified honeycomb coal fireplaces in Rapids City expelled plumes of gray smoke into the sky.
On the snow-covered flat area surrounding the city, concentric circles the size of washbasins marked the traces of burning honeycomb coal stoves.
After three years of promotion, honeycomb coal made from peat gradually replaced firewood, making its way into thousands of households.
Especially in urban areas where firewood couldn't be easily obtained, people had no choice but to purchase the relatively durable and cheap peat.
For the Uffizi Palace, the ruling authority in Lower Reif County, fireplaces were still in use.
Firstly, the construction was old, and the renovation costs were very high.
