Chapter 113 What’s in the Heart
“But this is gas. If it leaks, it will explode if touched by a little fire...”
“Oh, aunt, it must be able to maintain liquefied petroleum. The concentration of the gas is what matters. Don’t worry, if you build this small house by yourself, the air will leak everywhere. Even if you just turn on the gas, you can’t blow it up if you don’t put a torch in it. It was broken up early, and it exploded? Besides wasting money, there is no other loss..."
That's right, this seems to be the case.
Ning Weimin answered these questions correctly, not to mention that Aunt Bian was stuck.
The other neighbors also looked at each other and thought about themselves.
Ning Weimin smiled lightly and continued to demonstrate the benefits to everyone.
"Watch me make a pot of water. Look, look, it's so easy to cook. There are two stoves. You can use them when you want and light the fire when you want. I'm not blowing it. , With this thing, our cooking speed will definitely be the best in the whole hospital. You guys can't be as efficient as me in half an hour."
Now, Master Luo. I was impressed. He had a child at home, and just heating milk every day was enough.
Plus cooking, Aunt Luo and Miao Yujuan are not busy enough.
"No need to seal the fire?"
"No need."
"The smoke won't kill anyone?"
"Master Luo, look at what you said, the gas is like It's in the jar. If you don't put it out, it won't kill anyone. Besides, it's the same as burning. If you don't worry, it doesn't matter. Do you smell it? "Qi'er, don't you know if you pinch your nose?"
Now Aunt Mi also became interested.
"You don't need charcoal to start the fire?"
"No. Not to mention charcoal, all coal is saved. Just matches, people in foreign countries use this. Let me tell you this, don't say it yet We common people will have to replace all coal stoves in restaurants with this thing. Did you see that this stove can be adjusted up or down by yourself? So we can control the heat by ourselves..."
< br>"Hey, is there such a new thing in the world? My eyes are really opened."
"Hey, where is this? This thing has been around for a long time, and it is actually nothing new. You just have to try new things to have a comparison, don't you? Don't worry, let me try it for a while. If not, just treat me as a negative example. That’s it...”
Okay, when I said this, the neighbors all laughed.
Only Aunt Bian's face was completely unbearable.
The old lady sighed and went back to her room.
But Ning Weimin didn't know it at all and was still blaming it in public.
“Look, the water boils, how fast? I turn it off and it turns off.”
Master Luo and Aunt Mi didn’t notice Aunt Bian’s loneliness. Jin cheered.
"Hey, it's really good..."
"Weimin... Then I'll light a fire and try it..."
Bian Auntie was sitting in her heart feeling stuck, she couldn't bear it Keep asking yourself.
“Am I wrong?”
There is no doubt that compared to traditional coal stoves, the benefits of using liquefied gas tanks with high calorific value and convenience for cooking are obvious. of.
There is no soot and smoky filth, nor do you have to worry about low firepower when cooking.
There is no need for people to rush home as soon as they get off work because they are anxious to make a fire and cook.
The most important thing is that the price is cheap.
At that time, the purchase price of a 15-kilogram cylinder of gas was only two yuan and seventy cents due to state subsidies, which was basically enough for a family to use for one month.
On the contrary, for users who burn briquettes, the monthly fuel cost for a family of four is about three yuan. If you want to burn briquettes, it costs even more, at least four yuan. Needless to say, people these days are very economical in their lives, and people have long been accustomed to price and purchase limit policies.
Everyone has their own weighing of how important these last two items are.
So, after a few days, seeing that Ning Weimin was doing well, both the Luo family and the Mi family made up their minds.
They all begged Aunt Bian to approve the note and filled out the stove purchase notification form.
Then take the household registration book, grain book, non-staple food book and the seal of the household head to the gas station to complete the procedures.
I paid twenty-three and a half yuan for four pieces of equipment, and installed a full set of stoves.
Once it was used, every family member really couldn't live without it. They even spread the word about the usefulness of LPG to their acquaintances. They were all glad to have listened to Ning Weimin's advice.
But the matter is not over yet. There is a situation that is quite interesting to talk about.
Because seeing the happy faces of her neighbors and the tangible benefits of using LPG, Aunt Bian was soon "incited to rebel".
Of course the old lady didn't want to be left alone, so she got the gas stove and gas tank four or five days later than everyone else.
Not even installing it, but it happened to be this old lady who used to be very defensive about liquefied petroleum gas.
Due to negligence, an unspeakable safety accident soon occurred.
At noon that day, there was no one at home, so retired Uncle Bian picked up his fishing rod and ran to the Tongzi River again.
Aunt Bian came back from the neighborhood committee. Because she was anxious to drink tea, she went to the small kitchen to boil water.
One thing I have to explain clearly is that out of instinctive fear of liquefied petroleum gas, since I got this thing, other people in the family have been helping Aunt Bian light the fire.
But this time there was no choice. The old lady had no choice but to do it herself.
She first turned on the gas, and then put the match to the stove eye to strike.
Especially because of her poor eyesight, she had to bend over to get a look, and it took her a long time to light the match.
So when the match was lit and brought close to the stove, there was a "bang" sound, which startled the old lady.
At that time, I just felt a burning pain on my face.
Needless to say, the old lady was immediately stunned.
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 dirt was falling off her face.
Go back home and take a look in the mirror. Your hair is burnt and your eyebrows are all burnt. It’s really impressive.
Needless to say, when Uncle Bian returned home from fishing and saw his wife like this, he would have been shocked on the spot.
Then as soon as he figured out what was going on, the old man couldn't care less about comfort and stopped working.
"It's so dangerous! That can't be done! I think it will take more trouble in the future. I'd better replace this gas tank with a coal stove for you tomorrow."
But now it sounds like it’s absolutely impossible, but Aunt Bian quit on her own.
When she got anxious, the old lady said all she was saying.
"No! The coal stove is dirty, cooking is slow, and it's smoky all day long. Liquefied petroleum gas is better. So don't worry about it. It's all my fault that I don't know how to use it. I'll do more in the future. Just learn a little bit..."
Just these words made my wife laugh.
