National Tide 1980.

Chapter 113

"But this is gas. If it leaks, it will explode with a little fire..."

"Oh, aunt, it must be able to maintain the concentration of liquefied petroleum gas. Don't you look at the small room we built, and the air leaks everywhere. Even if we just turn on the gas, as long as we don't put it on the stove. You can Take a torch and stick it in, but it can't be blown up. It's gone early, and it's still blown up? Apart from wasting money, there is no other disadvantage..."

That's right, this truth...seems to be the case.

Ning Weimin answered these few sentences correctly, let alone Aunt Bian got stuck.

The other neighbors also looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking about it for themselves.

Ning Weimin smiled lightly, and continued to demonstrate the benefits to everyone.

"Look at me making a pot of water. Look, look, how easy it is to cook, with two stoves. When you want to use it, you can turn on the fire when you want it. It's not me. With this thing, From now on, our family's cooking speed will definitely be the first in our hospital. If you are busy for an hour, it is not as efficient as mine for half an hour."

This time, Master Luo was moved first. He has a child in his family, and hot milk is enough for him every day.

In addition to cooking, Aunt Luo and Miao Yujuan are not busy enough.

"No need to seal the fire?"

"Need not."

"Where can't people be smoked to death?"

"Master Luo, look at what you said, the gas is all in the tank. If you don't let it out, you won't kill people. Besides, smoking people is the same as igniting a fire, and you need concentration. If you don't worry about it, it doesn't matter. Do you smell it? This thing has a smell, it’s really leaking, don’t you know it if you poke your nose?”

Now Aunt Mi is also interested.

"You don't need charcoal to start the fire?"

"No need. Don't talk about charcoal, any coal is saved. Just matches, people in foreign countries use this. Let me tell you this, not to mention our common people. From now on, all coal stoves in restaurants will be covered by this thing." Replace. Have you seen that this stove can be adjusted up or down by yourself. Then we can control the heat by ourselves..."

"Hey, there is such a new thing in the world? I really opened my eyes."

"Hey, where is this? This thing has been around for a long time, and it's actually nothing new. You just have to try new things to have a comparison, don't you? If you don't worry, let me try it for a while. Okay , you guys hurry up. Not good, you guys just treat me as a negative example..."

Well, when I said this, the neighbors all laughed.

Only Aunt Bian couldn't hold back her face at all.

The old lady sighed and went back to her own room.

And Ning Weimin didn't know it at all, and was still bragging in public.

"Look, the water boils, how fast? When I twist it, it turns off."

Master Luo and Aunt Mi didn't notice Aunt Bian's loneliness, and kept applauding.

"Hey, it's really good..."

"Wei Min...then I'll light a fire and see if it works..."

Aunt Bian sat in her heart and couldn't help asking herself.

"Could it be... am I wrong?"

Undoubtedly, compared with traditional coal stoves, the advantages of using liquefied gas tanks with high calorific value and convenience for cooking are obvious.

No soot, smoky filth, or low heat when cooking.

What's more, people don't need to run home in a hurry because they are anxious to start a fire and cook after work.

The most important thing is that the price is cheap.

At that time, the purchase price of a [-]-kilogram steel cylinder was only two yuan and seventy cents due to state subsidies, which was basically enough for a family to use for a month.

On the contrary, for users who burn honeycomb briquettes, the monthly fuel cost of a family of four is about three yuan. If they want to burn briquettes, the cost will be higher, at least four yuan.

Needless to say, people in this day and age are living on a budget, and people have long been accustomed to the policy of price limit and purchase limit.

How heavy the weight of these last two items is, everyone has their own weight in mind.

Therefore, after a few days, seeing that Ning Weimin used it very well, the Luo family and the Mi family resolutely made up their minds.

So they all begged Aunt Bian to approve the note, and filled out the stove purchase notice.

Then take the account book, grain book, non-staple food book and the stamp of the head of household to the gas station to go through the formalities.

After paying four items of equipment and a fee of 23 yuan, a full set of stoves was installed.

And once it is used, every family really can't do without it, and they even preached the usefulness of liquefied petroleum gas to their acquaintances, thankfully they listened to Ning Weimin's advice.

But the matter is not over here, and there is a situation that is quite interesting to talk about.

Seeing the smiling faces of the neighbors and the benefits of using liquefied petroleum gas can be seen and felt, Aunt Bian was soon "rebelled".

Of course, the old lady didn't want to be pulled down by herself, so she brought the gas stove and gas tank to the housekeeper four or five days later than everyone else.

It doesn't count if it's installed, but it happens to be this old lady who used to be strictly guarded against liquefied petroleum gas.

Because of negligence, an unspeakable accident occurred in safety soon.

At noon that day, there was no one at home, and the retired uncle Bian picked up his fishing rod and went to Tongzi River again.

Aunt Bian came back from the neighborhood committee, and because she was anxious to drink tea, she went to the small kitchen to boil water by herself.

There is a situation that needs to be explained clearly, that is out of the instinctive fear of liquefied petroleum gas, since this thing was brought back, other members of the family have been helping Aunt Bian to light the fire.

But this time there is no way, the old lady has no choice but to do it herself.

She turned on the gas first, and then moved the match to the burner to strike.

Especially because of her poor eyesight, she bent over to look at it, and it took a long time to light the match.

So when the match just ignited and approached the stove, there was a "bang", which startled the old lady.

At that time, I only felt a burning pain on my face.

Needless to say, the old lady lost her mind immediately.

She didn't know what was wrong, but out of instinctive fear, she immediately turned off the gas stove.

When I went to rub my face later, I was so jealous!

Because she found that scum was falling on her face.

Go back to the house and take a look in the mirror, the hair is burnt, the eyebrows are burnt, it's really good enough to see.

Needless to say, when Uncle Bian came home from fishing and saw his wife like this, he must have been shocked on the spot.

Then as soon as he found out what was going on, the old man didn't care about comforting him, so he quit.

"It's so dangerous! That's impossible! I think it will take a lot of trouble in the future. Tomorrow, I'd better give you this gas tank and replace it with a coal stove."

But at this moment, it is absolutely impossible to talk about it, but Aunt Bian quit doing it herself.

As soon as she was in a hurry, the old lady bald all her thoughts.

"No way! The coal stove is dirty, it cooks slowly, and it's still smoky all day long. It's better to use liquefied petroleum gas. So don't worry about it. It's all because I don't know how to use it. Just learn something..."

Just this remark amused my wife.
