National Tide 1980.

Chapter 112 The Last Train

In fact, it was a trivial matter for Ning Weimin to get milk powder for the Luo family.

After the New Year, he has one more contribution to all the neighbors in the No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong.

After Ganqing swept away the monkey tickets in Beijing and Tianjin, the money in Ning Weimin's hands was useless for a while.

He just wanted to make his life easier.

So I applied to the gas company to purchase a set of liquefied petroleum gas stoves.

As a result, because of the driving effect of his personal statement, all the residents of the East Hospital were directly prompted to change their minds.

Soon, all the neighbors abandoned the traditional living mode of cooking with coal stoves, and applied instead to use liquefied petroleum gas.

It is the collective improvement of the quality of life.

Because of this matter, every time the neighbors think about it or talk about it in the future, they will praise Ning Weimin for his foresight.

On the other hand, Aunt Bian was a little embarrassed and panicked, feeling sorry for the neighbors in her heart.

what's up?

Not for anything else, just because for a long time, the prejudices of several families in No. 2 courtyard towards liquefied petroleum gas were instilled by Aunt Bian.

Speaking of which, as early as 1969, Jingcheng Gas Company carried out pilot work on the use of liquefied petroleum gas by civilians on Zhaodengyu Road.

After entering the 70s, with the completion and commissioning of the Jingcheng Petrochemical Complex, the work of burning liquefied petroleum gas and oil-based gas for Beijing residents was in full swing.

By the end of 1980, under the development principle of "focus first, then general, first inside the city, then outside the city".

Residential users of liquefied petroleum gas in Beijing reached 70 households.

The city's urban residents cooking gasification rate reached 62.5%.

It stands to reason that as residents of the fourth district of the city, the residents of the No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong had the opportunity to apply for it long ago.

Even if the procedures for issuing a gas certificate are quite troublesome, it needs the approval of the street and the neighborhood committee.

But who made No. 2 Courtyard Aunt Bian, the chief director, sit in charge?

In this regard, several families have natural advantages, and they should have used them long ago.

But things in the world are so unique, under certain circumstances, the advantage will turn into a disadvantage.

You know, Aunt Bian has never been to school, and all her characters are learned in literacy classes.

The old lady is proficient in the family's short-handed ways of the world, but she doesn't have much insight.

Especially for new things, I don't have a good impression that day.

Aunt Bian's ideology can be traditional and conservative, or outdated and stubborn.

Then catch up with the time when petroleum liquefied gas was first introduced.

Because the gas company is understaffed, the safety promotion is not in place.

Several users who applied for Fan'er Hutong first, had several fire accidents caused by improper use one after another.

Once, it almost caused a real fire, but it caused a lot of chaos for the old lady.

Later, with help from the street, the gas company urgently held a safety meeting.

Then I heard the staff at the gas station say that this is not okay, that is not okay, it is so dangerous, and there are many taboos hanging about that.

The old lady just felt dizzy and couldn't remember at all, so she didn't like this thing at all.

So don't think that she can really bring convenience to everyone, but from the bottom of her heart, she herself is quite resistant to the work of popularizing liquefied petroleum gas.

Then closing the door of No. 2 Courtyard and talking is naturally exaggerated, picking out all the faults, which is tantamount to using subtext to persuade the neighbors not to use that thing.

Then think about it, the families in No. 2 Courtyard have been promoted by the old lady for a long time, who can have a good impression of liquefied petroleum gas?

They all thought that they had obtained first-hand inside information, and regarded this thing as a bomb.

Needless to say, everyone is afraid of the roof of their house going up to the sky.

As a result, the days went by like this day by day, no matter what happened to other people, Shan'er Hutong No. 2 Courtyard has always been out of safety considerations, and only cooks with coal stoves.

So to be honest, that is to say, Ning Weimin is a time traveler, so he can not be influenced by Aunt Bian.

In other words, he has a good understanding of liquefied petroleum gas.

It was only then that the big guys were liberated from the long-term ignorance and the mentality of scaring themselves.

Otherwise, if even he was bluffed by the old lady and gave up the idea of ​​using liquefied petroleum gas, it would be a terrible thing for everyone in No. 2 courtyard.

Because from this time on, Jingcheng Gas Company has stopped developing household users.

To put it bluntly, after passing this village, there is no such shop.

If you wait until the gas company has completely blocked the door, no matter who you want to change your mind and want to get rid of the hard life of cooking with coal fires, it will take a lot of trouble.

At that time, not only will you have to beg and ask for help, but you will have to borrow other people's gas purchase books every month to "borrow chickens to lay eggs".

And you have to spend a lot of money to buy steel cylinders, stoves, and pressure reducers from unofficial channels.

That's what it means to really spend money to buy guilt, and there is a real safety hazard.

Therefore, Ning Weimin is equivalent to allowing all the families in the No. 2 courtyard to catch up with the last train for the popularization of liquefied petroleum gas.

For this, he also contributed a lot, and the neighbors couldn't help but miss him.

It's interesting to say.

Regardless of Aunt Bian's dissuasion, she insisted on applying for the gas tank for the stove.

Immediately, Ning Weimin moved these gadgets back and placed them in his own small kitchen with the speed of thunder and jingle bells.

And it is precisely because he dared to "commit crimes against the wind" that he risked the shame of Aunt Bian.

Neighbors from the entire courtyard were attracted.

Whether it's out of worry that Ning Weimin will cause trouble, or because it's something new, everyone has to check it out and come here to persuade him, for fear that Ning Weimin is young and doesn't know how powerful he is.

But no one thought that this kid was really good at installing stoves and gas tanks.

In front of everyone, he pretended to be three times, five times, and two times. As soon as the flames of Lan Wangwang burned up, it opened the eyes of all the neighbors.

"Hey, everyone, take a look, this is it. How is it? Is it useful?"

Ning Weimin happily blew out the match in his hand.

He stood up and greeted everyone, with the appearance of presenting treasures.

Of course Aunt Bian exclaimed as usual and took the lead in warning.

"Hey, my mother, Wei Min, don't listen to auntie's advice. Look, it looks like a bomb. Are you not afraid?"

"My aunt, look at what you said, this is a guy for cooking. What are you afraid of?"

"It's full of liquefied petroleum gas. How can it seep? Are you sure you can't blow it up?"

"Hey, you really thought it was a bomb. Let me tell you, if this thing is not safe, the government will not let our common people use it. Besides, this thing has been popular for so long, and it hasn't exhausted the fire brigade. .I know you are worried about accidents, but it can only happen if it is not operated properly. Doesn’t the coal stove sometimes set fire to the room? Smoking also burns the bed. Look, this gas tank is unnecessary. Charcoal fire will not drop coal dross, but it is safe..."
