As soon as Lan Jin finished speaking, it was obvious that the three people behind the intercom were stunned for a moment, and then became excited.
"Yes, why didn't we think of such a simple method before? Everyone was only thinking about food, and never thought that we could use what we have on hand to exchange for food." Ling Jiang praised after finishing speaking.
: "Hey, Lan Jin, your brain is pretty good."
"It suddenly occurred to me that we didn't have much charcoal before, just enough to burn it ourselves, so we didn't think about it. But these days we have just bought all the wood. There is so much wood at home, so naturally we can take it out and replace it, but here
We had to figure out the situation on the black market before."
After all, they only heard the word black market from Lao Gao, and Lao Gao heard it from the intercom when he was adjusting it. No one knew its specific location or what role it could play.
, so no matter what you want to do, you must first understand the situation of the black market before you can make a long-term plan.
Of course, it is possible to use charcoal to relieve temporary food anxiety, but this method will definitely not work in the long term. After all, no one knows how long it will take for the extreme cold to end. Even if there is extra charcoal, they will mainly use it at their own home.
.
But when they thought of a way to exchange for the source of food, everyone was a little excited. After Lao Gao shouted, they quickly ran to the rooftop to get busy.
…
When it comes to making charcoal, Huang Jinghe is still the main force.
Huang Jinghe, who has completely mastered the method of making charcoal, really feels that the process of making charcoal is not difficult, but cutting large pieces of wood into small pieces is extremely difficult.
The group of them were on the rooftop, chopping from dark to dark without cutting down a few small pieces of wood. Instead, they were followed by the children and dogs who came up to play, and they were already out of their element.
Lan Jin hugged Little Douding, who was about to fall asleep, and said, "I remember there seems to be a chainsaw at my house. How about I go home and look for it? Come back tomorrow."
When Lao Gao heard what Lan Jin said, his old face looked at Lan Jin in confusion, and then his eyes lit up, "Sister Lan, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a chainsaw?"
"It's not out of gas. It's gone once it's used up. Besides, I didn't think of it before."
Lao Gao said excitedly: "Oh, you don't have this oil and I have it. Forget it, let's finish today and start again tomorrow. Sister Lan, give me the chainsaw. I'll try to apply the oil at night. Once it's debugged, I'll start tomorrow."
It can be used directly.”
They didn't need to clean up the rooftop, so each of them picked up a few pieces of wood and followed Lan Jin downstairs.
After returning home, Lan Jin settled Xiao Douding first, then took out the electric saw from a blind corner of the master bedroom, "Here, this is it."
When Lao Gao saw the chainsaw handed over by Lan Jin, it would be completely false to say he was not excited, "Sister Lan, you are really my sister Lan. This chainsaw is big enough to cut the big wood we brought back."
Even though Lao Gaodang tried to see if the electric saw could start at the door of Lan Jin's house, he didn't expect that as soon as the cord on the electric saw was pulled twice, the electric saw made a harsh start-up sound.
Seeing that the electric saw could be used normally, Lan Jin quickly explained the origin of the electric saw, "I bought this thing when I went back to my hometown to go to the grave. I used it once and kept it there. I bought it back then."
It seemed that a small pot of oil was given as a gift, but it was all used up on the same day. I poured the last bit directly into it, but it seemed to burn very much and a pot of oil could only be used a few times."
Lan Jin's excuse is not random. Many people do tidy up their graves when they go back to their hometowns during the Qingming Festival. If they do it every year, then they can just pull it out with their hands.
But if not, after a few years, the weeds will grow and thick branches will grow in some places. In this case, they cannot be pulled out by hand, so the electric saw comes in handy.
However, this thing is generally not used very much at home, so even if it were bought, it would not be a particularly big one. However, Lan Jin originally bought the electric saw to cut locks. She was worried that the small one would be useless, so naturally she just bought it.
I bought a bigger one.
So now looking at the size of this chainsaw, it fits Lao Gao's liking.
But that's not the point. She just explains why she owns a chainsaw.
…
Young people may not understand what Lan Jin said, but Grandma Ling, who heard the noise in the corridor and came to join in the fun, understood it as soon as she mentioned it. After thinking about it, she said: "Jiang'er, when we went to the grave a few years ago,
, didn’t you also buy a small electric saw? When I saw this thing, I suddenly remembered, did you bring it with you when you moved here? "
Ling Jiang looked at Grandma Ling and blinked. She didn't remember this at all, "Does our family also have a chainsaw?"
"Yes, I bought it several years ago. I packed it in the glove box when I left. I was the one who took it away. Looking at you, you must have not even unpacked the box."
Grandma Ling turned around and went home to search. After a while she actually found the chainsaw.
It's just a head...
Purely for grave use.
But something is better than nothing. Even a small electric saw is better than a kitchen knife.
But when Lao Gao saw the comparison between the two chainsaws, he said helplessly: "This is Sister Lan's fault. I wonder how long it has been since you visited your grave."
Lan Jin ignored him lazily and closed the door to sleep.
…
The next day.
Before dawn, they heard the sound of Lao Gao sawing wood at home. Listening to the sound, they quickly got up and went over to work.
Since it was really troublesome to move it up and down, Lao Gao directly occupied the wood in 3201, which had the most wood. When she and Ling Jiang went out, the corridor was full of dust.
Little Douding wanted to join in the fun, but as soon as she came out, her eyes were blurred by the dust. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, I can't see clearly."
"As long as you can't see clearly, the dust here is not for you to play with. Why don't you go back and play with Nana."
Xiao Douding thought for a while, but was so fascinated by the dust that he couldn't open his eyes, and finally agreed reluctantly, "Okay."
After sending Rancho Qiao home, when the three of them arrived at 3201, Lao Gao, who was so excited, had no idea what had just happened. He thought they had arrived too early and said, "Why are you here?"
It’s so early.”
Ling Jiang rolled his eyes, "Who can sleep with such loud noise?"
"Sorry, sorry, I will definitely be late tomorrow."
But it has to be said that with the electric saw, the work efficiency has doubled. At this time, Lao Gao has cut a lot of large pieces of wood, and Ling Jiang did not delay and picked up the small electric saw.
Cut the wood sections that Lao Gao cut down again and turn them into charcoal sections of suitable size.
Both of them have found a job that suits them. Naturally, Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe can't be idle. They quickly set up a charcoal grill on the balcony, making charcoal while straightening the messy wood. One day
The time was not idle at all, it quickly passed by, and they even went back and forth for several days in a row.
