Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 739: Wandering in the Mountains
Upon hearing this, Wang An briefly explained the principle of heating, which immediately made the two brothers Wang Daliang and Wang Dazhu look amazed and amazed.

Wang Dazhu said with surprise and excitement:

"This heating thing is really cool. The 'boiler' you mentioned is just a larger stove. The hot water in the steel pipe is circling back and forth. When the water cools down after a circle, it returns to the stove and continues to burn. In this way, the steel pipe and the radiator must be hot all the time. This thing works. It really works."

The second uncle, Wang Daliang, also smacked his lips and said:

"Yeah, if there is such a thing in the winter, the house will be very warm. I think we have to use this thing every morning and night in the north. The key is that this thing is clean and convenient."

After listening to what the two old brothers said, Wang An felt very surprised, because just as Wang Daliang said, in a few years, developed cities in the northern region will begin to install a large number of heating systems for heating.

As for smaller and less developed places such as towns and villages, it seems that this thing only began to appear gradually from the 90s.

But Wang An still smiled and said:

"This thing is actually not that troublesome. It's not as troublesome as a ground fire dragon. If you forget to add coal, the temperature here will freeze and crack the water pipes and radiators overnight. Even if they don't freeze and crack, the whole heating system will be useless and can't be used for the whole winter."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Daliang said a little confusedly:

"Why can't it be used? Wouldn't it burst as soon as the fire is turned on?"

Before Wang An could say anything, Wang Dazhu said:

"The water pipes are frozen. The boiler will explode before the ice melts."

I have to say that Wang Dazhu is definitely a delayed scientist, because he is a person who can really do it and understand many things at a glance.

The most important thing is that he is very good at thinking, and he can understand the truth of many things without even having to be explained.

Wang An smiled without saying anything and continued eating.

After a while, Liu Guilan suddenly said:

"Xiao An, why don't you go buy some pork tomorrow? The two wild boars we have are a bit small, and it would be a waste if I kill them now."

Upon hearing this, Wang An said casually:

"But don't we still have yellow sheep? Killing one a day should be enough."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Liu Guilan said with a distressed look on her face:

"We can't kill the lambs, and there are only a few sheep left. Wouldn't it be a waste to kill the ewes for meat? We can just buy some pork to mix with the meat. Besides, pork is better than mutton anyway."

As soon as Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang Xiaoli interrupted and said:

"The mutton is so tender, the mutton is so tender."

It was just Wang Xiaoli's sudden shout that made the entire space in the room seem to freeze, and there was a moment of stillness.

Then, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

After laughing, Liu Guilan scolded with a smile:

"Why do you only know how to taunt? I think you are quite taunting, so I will taunt you tomorrow."

Wang Xiaoli pouted and whispered back:
"I'm not good at showing off. I'm not good at showing off at all."

When everyone saw how attractive Wang Xiaoli was, they laughed even louder.

I have to say, as long as the nutrition is adequate, children will look very cute.

A child who looks very cute will naturally attract people's attention. After everyone laughed, Wang An thought for a moment and said:

"I don't have that many kilograms of meat coupons here. Besides, even if you have meat coupons, the amount of meat you can buy is limited. You can only buy one or two kilograms a day. It's not easy to do anything with that little stuff."

There is nothing wrong with what Wang An said, because this is the most realistic problem in this era.

In recent years, food has been in severe shortage. It can be said that more than 80 percent of the people are starving. As for various meats and eggs, it can’t be said to be simply in shortage, it can only be said to be in extreme shortage.

So as soon as Wang An finished speaking, Liu Guilan immediately said with a sad face:
"Those two little pigs weigh less than 100 kilograms each. It would be a shame to kill them now. What should I do?"

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.

This is the main problem, there is basically no solution.

After a while, Wang Li tentatively said to Wang An:
"Fourth brother, why don't we take the dog into the mountains and wander around. We can grab whatever we come across. It's all meat anyway."

Wang An's eyes lit up when he heard this and said:

"Well, that's fine. We can each ride two horses into the mountains and carry the meat back directly when we're done."

Hearing the two brothers' discussion, Wang Daliang frowned and said:

"Now the whole mountain is covered with green grass. If you walk along the way, you won't even leave a footprint. How can you find prey?"

Wang Dazhu also frowned and said:
"I think the wild boars will come down the mountain and destroy the crops in a few days. Why don't we wait a little longer and then guard the land directly."

I have to say, this is the bad thing about living in the forest area. As soon as the crops grow to about knee-high, omnivores like wild boars and blind bears will start to come down the mountain to eat the seedlings.

Especially the seedlings of three crops, corn, sorghum and soybeans, are their favorites.

As for soybeans, they are not only popular with bears and wild boars, but also with rabbits.

At this time, the village would organize young and strong people to look after the crops. This behavior is also called "protecting the youth" locally.

Before the land was distributed to each household, those who protected the youth could earn work points, but I don’t know what the rules are this year.

After all, no one wants to stay in the fields all day.

Wang An shook his head and said nonchalantly:

"It's okay. We have more than 10 dogs with us. Besides, we're not going inside. We'll just look around the village. It won't be a big deal if we run into anything."

After hearing what Wang An said, Wang Dazhu nodded.

In the afternoon, when Widow Li came to return the sieve and asked Liu Guilan to buy some cornmeal, she told Wang An something that made him very happy.

That is the reason why Widow Li's family has been unable to make ends meet these past two days. It is because when Widow Li went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms and grass sprouts the day before yesterday, she saw a black blind fox.

As a result, Widow Li had not yet picked many wild vegetables before she had to rush back for her life.

You have to know that in this season, not only people are hungry, but animals in the mountains are also hungry, so omnivorous animals like the black bear become more dangerous, because the black bear in this season will really eat people.

After asking Widow Li about the whereabouts of the black bear, Wang An decided to kill it tomorrow.

I have to say, it really feels great to have someone give you a pillow just when you feel sleepy.
