Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 72 Bottled Gas
"Yang Yukun, are the steamed buns ready?"

"Second brother-in-law."

Xu Jingping and Xu Jingtian walked into the yard and arrived at Yang Yukun's house.

When I entered the room, I found that Poor Hou and Meng Xiaoxing were also there.

"Master, Miss Xing, you are here too."

"It's okay to be free, come over to see old man Guan for a drink or two, and come to Xiaokun's place to have breakfast to pad your stomach."

"It smells so good, second brother-in-law, can I eat it?"

"almost."

After steaming for about twenty minutes, the buns are already cooked.

Yang Yukun opened the steamer, and a more intense fragrance wafted out.

"The buns are ready. This is stuffed with pork, this is stuffed with chicken, this is stuffed with duck, this is stuffed with goose, and these are stuffed with fish."

"Teacher, do you still have minced fish?"

"Yes, there are five fillings in total, twelve of each filling."

"Then I have to try it out."

Broken Hou moved his chopsticks first, picking out a bun with each filling.

"The taste is really good, delicious."

"Sister Xiaoxing, Xu Jingping, Jingtian, you can eat too."

"Oh... so hot, so delicious."

"Delicious."

"Xiaokun, your cooking skills are amazing. It's even more delicious than the big meat buns sold at the bun shop on Qianmen Street."

"Miss Xiaoxing, if it tastes good, just eat a few more. Don't be too polite. I made sixty, which is enough for the few of us to eat."

The buns made by Yang Yukun are full of weight.

Because of his martial arts practice, he eats a lot, so he ate ten by himself.

The master lasted five.

Xu Jingping and Meng Xiaoxing each ate four, and they really couldn't eat any more.

Xu Jingtian was small and ate three of them.

Sixty buns, 34 left.

"Tu'er, pack some of the remaining buns for me, and I'll take them to Old Man Guan."

"Come on, master, is five enough?"

"enough."

"Master, here it is."

Yang Yukun took a plate and packed five big buns for the master.

"I'll go drink with old man Guan."

"Master, come over to have dinner tonight. I'll call you from Uncle Guan when the dinner is ready."

"Row."

Broken Hou screwed up the wine he had brought, and went to Old Man Guan's house with the steamed stuffed bun.

For the remaining 29 steamed buns, Yang Yukun asked Meng Xiaoxing to bring a few back to Aunt Han, and asked Xu Jingping to take the rest back to honor the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Xu Jingping came back after sending the buns home, and Yang Yukun accompanied her for a walk, and went to Silian Hair Salon for a haircut.

In summer, the weather is relatively hot, the hair grows long, and the whole short hair is cool.

"Xu Jingping, do you want ice cream?"

"eat."

"Wait."

Coming out of the barber shop, Yang Yukun went to buy two ice creams.

"Yang Yukun, where are we going now?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"The sun is so big, why don't we go back?"

"By the way, I will go to the liquefied gas station first, and we will go back later."

"Why are you going to the liquefied gas station?"

"Let's see if we can get the gas book and fix the gas bottle later, so it's convenient for cooking."

As early as [-], piped gas was used in some places in Sijiu City.

With the completion and commissioning of the Imperial Capital Coking Chemical Plant, the first 21-kilometer gas main pipe in Imperial Capital runs through Chang'an Avenue.

In January [-], designers used the hairy bear steel cylinders and pressure reducers that Chinese mountaineers used when they climbed Mount Everest.

Eight households in the dormitory of the Ministry of Petroleum in the XC area conducted a test of using liquefied petroleum gas.

At the end of that year, the Xijiao bottle filling station was completed and put into use.

In several areas of Sijiu City, there are supply service stations.

Yang Yukun and his family still use honeycomb coal for cooking, which is smoky and dusty, which is troublesome.

Before Yang Yukun wanted to fix the gas bottle in the past, so that he would not have to light a fire to burn coal every day when cooking.

It just so happened that I was free today, so I went to the liquefied gas station to see if I could buy a gas book, fix a liquefied gas tank and a stove and go back.

"Student Xu Jingping, get in the car, the target liquefied gas station."

"Student Yang Yukun, let's go."

"Got it."

Yang Yukun pulled Xu Jingping and went straight to the liquefied gas station in the Qianmen building.

After arriving at the liquefied gas station, he found the relevant management personnel and learned that he could apply for a gas book, so Yang Yukun used his identity information to get a gas book, and ordered a gas tank and a stove.

The staff at the liquefied gas station are also very considerate, and they are also responsible for helping with home delivery and stove installation.

"Comrade, please come in, I really trouble you."

Yang Yukun opened the door and invited the staff of the liquefied gas station into the room.

"Don't be polite, serve the people, just stay here."

"Yes, here it is."

"Got it."

After a while, the master of the liquefied gas station installed the stove, and then began to teach Yang Yukun how to use the bottled liquefied gas.

When other people in the yard learned that Yang Yukun had returned from repairing a liquefied gas tank, many people came over to see what was strange.

Seeing the flames ignited on the stove, the onlookers felt as if they had seen the New World.

It seems to be more convenient to use this thing than burning briquettes, and they pulled the staff of the liquefied gas station to ask how to do it.

"Yang Yukun, I'm going back first, and I'll come find you later."

"Xu Jingping, why are you going?"

"Go back and ask my parents to also go to the liquefied gas station to get a gas book."

Seeing that gas cylinders are indeed better than briquettes and more convenient to use than burning briquettes, Xu Jingping hurried home.

An hour later, Xu Jingping's family also came back with a gas bottle and a stove.

In Yang Yukun's yard, there are also several families who have obtained gas books and used gas cylinders.

In the afternoon of that day, Yang Yukun cooked a sumptuous dinner with the newly refilled bottled gas.

"This gas bottle is really convenient for cooking. I'll make one later."

Seeing how convenient it is for Tuer to cook with gas cylinders, Broken Hou also moved his mind.

Burning coal is indeed too troublesome, far less convenient than using bottled gas.

Turn on the gas, ignite the stove, and then you can cook vegetables on the pot stand.

If you burn coal, you have to keep the coal stove on 24 hours a day. It is troublesome to turn it off and start the fire again. You have to use your own coal to go to someone else's house to exchange for kindling.

"It's good in the city, and we use gas, unlike our countryside, where we can only burn firewood."

Seeing Yang Yukun cooking with gas, Meng Xiaoxing was very envious.

In their countryside, they used firewood for cooking, and she had never seen such a thing as gas before.

It would be great if one day they could use gas tanks in the countryside.

"The food is ready, let's eat."

After the dinner was ready, Yang Yukun greeted the master and the others for dinner.

Besides his master and Xu Jingping, Meng Xiaoxing also had dinner with him.

"Master, let me drink with you."

Yang Yukun took a jar of Eight Immortals to get drunk, and drank two cups with his master.

At Uncle Guan's place, the master had already drank a lot.

When he went to Uncle Guan's to ask the master to come over for dinner, the two old men were having a drink with a plate of peanuts.

The master drank three ounces of a bottle of Eight Immortals drunk, and the rest went into Yang Yukun's stomach.
