Chapter 798 Coal
By the time the two of them finished watching, Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue had already prepared dinner.
Lu Qingqing took a food box and took some hot food from the pot.
He also took out two bags of brown sugar, some dried vegetables, potatoes and other items from the space, intending to send them to Sun Laohai's house next door.
This time, he helped to invite someone.
Not only was he cold, he was also frightened.
These things can also be considered as expressing my thoughts.
When it was delivered, there was another round of tugging.
But Lu Qingqing insisted on giving it to him, so Sun Laohai accepted it.
When Lu Qingqing returned, the food was already on the table.
This time the table was not a kang table, but a wooden table on the ground with five stools placed beside it.
This table and stools were borrowed from the villagers.
This morning, Sun Dahai led the villagers to help unload the goods, and then began to build a stable.
Before lunch, Qin Lang insisted on keeping them for dinner.
Sun Dahai helped and went to the village to borrow two tables and a dozen stools.
Because I still had a few days of work to do, I didn't return the table and stools.
This time, it is used.
After washing his hands, the old fireman saw the food on the table and was so surprised that his mouth opened wide.
This meal is a bit too rich!
Even during the Chinese New Year, his family doesn’t eat so well!
You know, his family lives in Gouzi Village, where their conditions are relatively good.
Nowadays, we only have two meals a day.
I eat some multi-grain pancakes for every meal, and some stewed dried vegetables as a filling.
There are steamed buns and meat on the table.
Even the fried dishes are greasy, which shows that a lot of lard is used!
The old man was originally depressed because he might lose his life.
He felt much better because of the sumptuous meal.
To say that I went to check the situation in the house just now was out of professionalism.
When he saw the delicious food on the table, he made up his mind to set up the kang.
It can even be said that he has more confidence in the fighting power of Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang.
Anyone who can afford this kind of food is obviously not an ordinary person!
Even Mr. Zhao, the richest man in their Gouzi Village, doesn't dare to eat like this!
Thinking of this, Lao Huotou felt much better.
After a few people sat down, the old fireman felt a little reserved.
It was Old Man Zhuang, who was sitting next to him, who kept urging him to eat, that finally he picked up some dishes with his chopsticks.
Seeing that he was too reserved to eat meat, Old Man Zhuang directly cut the roasted horse meat on the table and gave each of them a large piece.
After the meal, Lao Huotou covered his bloated stomach and stood up to help clear the table.
He ate two white flour buns for this meal.
I also ate a lot of the dishes on the table.
By the time I realized what was happening, my stomach was already full.
He felt embarrassed and helped with the work behind the scenes despite Old Man Zhuang's objection.
After dinner, when Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing went to feed the horses, he went to the room with the kang.
Take out various tools and take some measurements.
Take the thread dipped in white powder and pop out the white trace.
When Old Man Zhuang and Lu Qingqing came to help, his preliminary preparations had already been completed.
Seeing several people coming over, he told them about his plan.
Among them, where to build the chimney and where to set up the stove are all discussed.
When the old fireman finished his work and returned to the house, he looked at the thick bedding and felt even more grateful.
No matter what happens in the future, since they have treated me with all their heart this time, I must set up this kang well.
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the courtyard became busy again.
Old Man Zhuang and Lu Qingqing went into the house to help the old fireman set up the kang.
Qin Lang was in the yard, helping Sun Dahai and his group build a stable.
As for Sun Yue, she was boiling water and cooking by the stove.
There are three more people at lunch today than yesterday, so we have to eat more.
The group worked until noon, and Sun Yue finally prepared the meal.
Four pots of pancakes and two large pots of vegetables.
I can only say that it’s a good thing I didn’t make steamed buns.
If she just does the job of kneading dough, she will be exhausted.
While queuing for food, Sun Laohai saw the pile of two-grain flatbreads that looked like a small mountain.
Looking at the greasy dish again, he nodded secretly.
When he returned home yesterday, he heard his son say that the food in this restaurant was good.
When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.
The father and his sons led the villagers to get the meal and sit down.
There was not even a word of small talk at the scene, only the sound of people wolfing down their food could be heard.
After dinner, Lu Qingqing thought about asking the shopkeeper Qian Shao about buying firewood.
Unexpectedly, speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears.
Shopkeeper Qian Shao pulled a cart of straw mats into the open courtyard.
Seeing Lu Qingqing coming out to watch, he smiled and joked:
"Brother Lu, you are here to welcome me!"
Hearing the cheerful voice of Shopkeeper Qian, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but smile:
"Of course I am. I was just about to pick you up!"
The two chatted for a while, and Sun Dahai heard the noise and came out to see that it was the straw mat.
He went straight into the house and called for help to start unloading the straw mats.
After Lu Qingqing counted the number of straw mats, she paid the money directly.
Thinking of her previous plan, she asked about firewood again.
When the shopkeeper Qian heard about firewood, he couldn't help but feel it was a pity.
His family bought some firewood and stored it when the temperature started to drop.
The amount that can be stockpiled is only enough for home use.
As for takeout, that is definitely not enough.
Moreover, the snow on the mountain is too thick now, and there is no place to chop firewood.
In fact, it’s not only Lu Qingqing who wants to buy firewood, there are also many other families who want to buy firewood.
If he had known the temperature would drop so quickly, he would have stockpiled more firewood.
It’s hard to say, it’s more than what I earn from grain.
After hearing that Shopkeeper Qian had no way to buy firewood, Lu Qingqing planned to secretly tinker with it out of the space herself.
But suddenly I thought of the brick kiln that delivered the goods yesterday.
"Boss Qian, is there anyone selling coal near Fushan Town?"
When the shopkeeper Qian Shao heard about coal, he hesitated for a moment before saying:
"You mean coal?"
Lu Qingqing didn't know what to call it at this time, so she described it.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian Shao confirmed that it was undoubtedly coal.
He showed a disapproving expression on his face and explained patiently:
“Brother Lu, you don’t know that although coal is warm, it can kill people if used.
When coal burns, it produces a poisonous gas that can kill people.
A few years ago, two families in the town used coal for heating and died at home.
Brick kilns use coal to make bricks.
But those brick kilns are all built at the foot of the mountain, far away from people.
Moreover, the people who burn the kiln do not enter the kiln.
So, if we want to keep warm in the house, we can’t use this thing!
