Chapter 72 Bottled Gas

Author: Runchao Cigarettes

"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 house, I found that Shashahou and Meng Xiaoxing were also there.

"Master, Sister Xiaoxing, you are also here."

"If you have nothing to do, come here and have a drink with old man Guan, and stop by Xiaokun's place to have breakfast to cushion your stomach."

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

"about there."

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

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

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

"Disciple, are there any fish fillings?"

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

"Then I have to give it a try."

Bao Pohou was the first to use his chopsticks and select one bun of each filling.

“It tastes really good, delicious.”

"Sister Xiao Xing, Xu Jingping, Jingtian, you guys should eat too."

"Oh...it's so hot and delicious."

"Delicious."

"Xiao Kun, your cooking skills are amazing. They are even more delicious than the big meat buns sold at the Qianmen Street bun shop."

"Sister Xiao Xing, if it's delicious, please eat a few more. Don't be polite. I made sixty of them, which is enough for the few of us."

The steamed buns made by Yang Yukun are very generous.

He ate a lot because he was practicing martial arts, so he ate ten of them by himself.

The master lasted five.

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

Xu Jingtian was young and ate three.

Sixty buns, thirty-four left.

"Disciple, you can put some of the remaining steamed buns for me, and I'll take them to Old Man Guan."

"Okay, master, are five enough?"

"enough."

"Master, here it is."

Yang Yukun took a plate and filled the chef with five big buns.

"I'm going to have a drink with Old Man Guan."

"Master, please come over for dinner tonight. When dinner is ready, I will call you at Uncle Guan's place."

"OK."

Po Pohou packed the wine he had brought and took the buns to Old Man Guan's house.

Yang Yukun asked Meng Xiaoxing to take some of the remaining twenty-nine buns back to Aunt Han, and asked Xu Jingping to take the rest back to honor his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Xu Jingping sent Baozi home and came back again. Yang Yukun accompanied her for a walk and went to Silian Hairdressing Shop for a haircut.

The weather is hotter in summer, my hair is longer, and my short hair is cooler.

"Xu Jingping, do you want to eat ice cream?"

"eat."

"Just wait."

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

"Yang Yukun, where should we go now?"

"Where do you want to go?"

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

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

"Why go to the LPG station?"

"Let's see if we can get rid of the gas logs and reorganize the gas bottles. It will be more convenient for cooking."

As early as 1958, piped gas was used in some places in Sijiu City.

With the completion and commissioning of the Imperial Coking Chemical Plant, the first 21-kilometer-long gas main pipe in Imperial City ran through Chang'an Street.

In January 1965, designers used the bear cylinders and pressure reducers used by Chinese mountaineers when climbing Mount Everest.

A trial using liquefied gas was conducted in eight households in the Petroleum Ministry dormitory in XC District.

At the end of that year, the Xijiao Bottle Filling Station was completed and put into use.

Supply and service stations have been built in several areas of Sijiu City.

Yang Yukun and his family still use honeycomb briquettes for cooking, which is smoky and ashes, which is quite troublesome.

Yang Yukun had wanted to clean up the gas bottle before, so that he wouldn't have to light a fire and burn coal every day when cooking.

I happen to have some free time today, so I went to the liquefied gas station to see if I could get a gas book and pack up the liquefied gas tank and stove.

"Classmate Xu Jingping, get on the bus, the destination is the liquefied gas station."

"Classmate Yang Yukun, let's go."

"Okay."

Yang Yukun took Xu Jingping and went straight to the liquefied gas station near 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. Yang Yukun used his identity information to apply for a gas book and packed a gas tank and stove.

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

"Comrade, please come in, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

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

"You're welcome. If you want to serve the people, then you can stay here."

"Yes, just put it here."

"Okay."

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

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

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

This thing seems to be more convenient than burning briquettes, so many staff at the liquefied gas station asked how to handle it.

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

"Xu Jingping, why are you going?"

"Go back and ask my parents to go to the liquefied gas station to apply for a gas certificate."

Seeing that the gas bottle was 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 stove.

In Yang Yukun's courtyard, several families also applied for gas bills and used gas bottles.

That afternoon, Yang Yukun cooked a sumptuous dinner using the newly refurbished bottled gas.

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

When Popohou saw how convenient it was for his disciple to cook with a gas bottle, he also became interested.

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

Turn on the gas, light the stove, and put the pot rack on the stove to cook.

If you are burning coal, you have to ensure that the coal stove is kept on 24 hours a day. It is troublesome to put out the fire and light it again, and you have to use your own coal to go to someone else's house to exchange for charcoal.

"The city is great because everyone uses gas, unlike in the countryside where we can only burn firewood."

Meng Xiaoxing was particularly envious when she saw Yang Yukun cooking with gas.

In their countryside, they only used firewood for cooking, and she had never seen gas before.

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

"The food is ready, it's time to eat."

After dinner was ready, Yang Yukun called the chef and the others to dinner.

In addition to his master and Xu Jingping, Meng Xiaoxing also had dinner with him.

"Master, let me have a drink with you."

Yang Yukun took a jar of Eight Immortals' 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 place 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 one-pound bottle of Eight Immortals' Drunk, and the rest went into Yang Yukun's stomach.
