Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Let me tell you! Those things in his house are all obtained through corruption. If someone reports this, it will be enough for him to eat a pot." Yan Jiecheng said leisurely while warming the fire.

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, the faces of the third uncle and his wife turned green, and the third aunt said directly: "Boss, shut up! They all get it by virtue of their ability. If you have this ability, you can do it. If you are jealous of others when you have no ability, you should not say such nonsense in the future."

Then the third aunt said that Jiang Yan is such a good person, and he borrows coal and gives medicine. Boss, if you do this, you will be a white-eyed wolf. You will repay kindness with hatred. If others find out, our family will have any difficulties in the future. They will definitely not help me anymore, they will do everything based on their own feelings.

"What you said is right. If you don't talk about other things, let's just talk about their salary. How much does a fifth-level engineer cost? He is also an engineer. How much it adds up to in a month. Even if he eats and drinks every day, he can't spend it all. .”

After the third uncle Yan Bugui said this, he spoke again: "My father taught you that you must stand with the strong in everything. Even if you are borrowing money, it will be beneficial. Look at those people in the backyard, following Jiang If you say that it’s not something you do, don’t have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have.”

When everyone in the Yan family heard this, they all nodded. Yan Jiecheng, who had been scolded twice, also nodded and said nothing more.

"Dad, if that doesn't work, let's also get a earth heater! There are several houses in our yard that have installed it. I heard that it is very good." Yan Jiefang said.

"Old man, I think it's best to pretend to be on the bed." The third aunt also spoke.

Hearing his son and his wife mention this, the third uncle started to talk about the heating in Jiang Yan's house. He knew about it before and went in to experience it, but the weather was not so cold at that time, and it felt like the heating was not as good as much. Where are the briquettes! It's all the same, but today he did feel the benefits of heating.

Then the third uncle began to talk vividly about how warm it was like spring, how you could sweat even wearing single clothes in the room, how the temperature in the room was or degrees when it wasn’t too hot, and or degrees when it was hot!

After listening to the third uncle’s words, the whole family was frightened! However, they were skeptical that the temperature in Jiang Yan's home was really that high.

After all, in their knowledge, the only places with such high temperatures were steel-making workshops and the large baths outside. As for other places, they were still ignorant and could not remember them.

"I have inquired before. It only costs 200 yuan for us to install a small earth heater." Yan Jiefang continued.

"Listen, how loud is this tone? It's only two hundred yuan. How much do you earn this month? If you have money, take it out yourself. It will be a filial piety to our old couple and let your brothers and sisters take advantage of it." The third uncle Yan Bu Gui said without mercy.

"If you don't want to pretend, don't pretend! I'm just giving you advice." It would be better to kill him than to let him pay for it himself.

"You haven't calculated how much coal we will use this month if we install earth-heating. We only have so much coal this month, and it will definitely not be enough. If we don't have enough to eat, we will be poor if we don't calculate." Three The uncle shook his head and said something.

"Old man, many people in our yard have installed fire pits. This thing saves money. We can also make it ourselves." The third aunt said directly.

The fire kang that the third aunt was talking about was unique to Sijiu City. The earthen kangs in the courtyards in Sijiu City were not connected to the stoves in the same way as those in the northeast.

The Tukang in the courtyard here does not have a stove or stove. It just digs a large hole similar to a stove under the Tukang. In winter, burn some firewood or briquettes under the Tukang. As long as the soil can be It's done when the kang is hot.

This kind of earthen kang will keep the room warm unless you are willing to keep burning firewood or coal.

Generally speaking, most of these earthen kangs do not have a very good smoke exhaust function. Whether it is firewood or coal, if it is burned for a long time, there is a high probability that people will be poisoned by the soot before the room is warm.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, this kind of earthen kang is burned before going to bed at night. After the kang is heated, the fire is no longer continued. After the kang is heated, spread out the bedding to ensure a warm bed for the whole night. But in terms of actual heating effect and practicality, it is not as good as a fire pit or an iron stove. The earthen kang can only increase the temperature of a room, while the iron stove and brazier are movable. After all, no one can get under the covers as soon as they come back, and they can't risk their lives just to stay warm!

The third uncle thought about this suggestion for a long time but was rejected by him. The problem is that these two items are too expensive and impractical, which is not suitable for their home. The brazier and stove are more practical.

While the third uncle was talking at home, Jiang Yan and the others had already had lunch.

"Zhuzi, Liuzi, you two are good at this skill. I've been in Shengjing for so long, and I've been craving your skills, especially this braised fish. It's so cold, and such fresh fish is quite rare." Jiang Yan ate After finishing, he praised He Yuzhu and Liuzi.

"Boss, can you see what treasures you have brought back?" Xu Damao rubbed his hands and looked at Jiang Yan and said.

"Open it if you want! There are probably a lot of local specialties inside." They wanted to open it, and Jiang Yan naturally didn't refuse. He was also very curious. Before eating, Jiang Yan had already given away all the gifts he brought back from Shengjing. After bringing them, the men got a deerskin coat, and the ladies got a woolen coat. However, the coats were quite rare in color and the ones they brought back were all black and gray. This made all the ladies love it so much that they pulled Jiang Sirui along after dinner. Go and play around in their house, they don't care at all about other things.

After everyone's discussion, they decided to choose one box to open, and they opened the remaining two boxes together. At this moment, Jiang Yan felt like they were opening a blind box, which made Jiang Yan also become interested.

The first one to open it was He Yuzhu. This guy opened the largest box.

"Boss, this is all grain, including rice, white flour, corn flour, and sorghum flour." He Yuzhu said in surprise after opening it.

"How many?" Jiang Yan asked.

"There is one bag each of rice and white flour, estimated to weigh fifty kilograms, and four bags each of corn flour and sorghum flour, totaling four hundred kilograms." He Yuzhu replied.

After hearing his count, Jiang Yan took another look at the box. According to Jiang Yan's calculation, the box could only hold about five hundred kilograms of grain. It's also reasonable.

"Boss, this box is full of dry goods such as hazelnuts, pine nuts, fungus and mushrooms. Each item is about ten kilograms." As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Xu Damao couldn't wait to open the box. The box was basically full of dry goods. They are all common things in the forests of Northeast China, but this thing is quite rare in Sijiu City.

"Boss, all my meat here is bacon"

"Boss, I have some tonics here."

After statistics, the Shengjing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory provides quite a lot of local specialties. The most precious ones are a few ginseng, deer antlers and tiger penis. There is also a lot of milk powder, weighing over a hundred kilograms. There are also a lot of dried meats. These are Jiang Yan looked a little surprised.

I couldn't help complaining in my heart, this is called a little souvenir, and there are so many of them. I guess it means that the time is short. If the time is long, maybe they can make more.

But if you give it, you can give it back, right?
