The original starting point of this matter was that Qin Jiulie was worried about how Jiang Ning would survive the winter alone.
The altitude in the mountains is high, the temperature is low, and it snows heavily in winter.
When the snow is at its thickest, it can be half a meter thick, making it almost impossible to go out.
Even if Qin Jiulie knew that there was a spiritual treasure space in Jiangning, as long as he entered it, he would be as warm as spring all year round.
But Jiang Ning still has to live in the real world half of the day.
Such a cold winter with no heating is completely different from Jiang Ning's original hometown in the south.
In the cabin.
Usually they use firewood to keep warm.
But the firewood is placed outside the house, so it is not easy to bring it in, and making firewood is also troublesome.
So Qin Jiulie wanted to buy some coal and prepare to make briquettes or briquettes himself.
In this way, the coal stove in the house can keep burning, so you don't have to worry about keeping warm.
Qin Jiulie told Jiang Ning this idea.
After Jiang Ning heard this, he proposed...
"Not only do I have to spend the winter alone, but my sisters-in-law also have to spend the winter. Why not buy a cart of coal and share it with everyone."
Jiang Ning's decision also had other considerations.
The sisters-in-law have been in a heavy mood recently. If the problem of supplies for the winter can be solved, it will definitely make everyone happy and dilute the sadness caused by the things at hand.
she suggested.
"We not only need to buy coal, but we can also buy some cabbage and potatoes. These two vegetables are best preserved and can last all winter."
After Qin Jiulie heard Jiang Ning's proposal, he immediately agreed.
The couple also agreed that they would pay for these things and give them to the sisters-in-law for free.
In this era.
Materials like coal are livelihood products that are managed as a whole.
Even if Qin Jiulie wants to buy it, he can't just buy it in a short time.
At this moment, Jiang Ning thought of someone.
——Gu Qingwan.
Since Gu Qingwan went to Shencheng, they have not seen each other again.
But during this period, the connection between the two of them has not been broken.
The manager of Gu's Department Store, who was also someone Gu Qingwan trusted, would come up the mountain from time to time.
He came to get Jiang Ning's latest design drawings, and also gave Jiang Ning many things.
Gu Qingwan's clothing factory is running smoothly, and it has already started operation in just a few months.
She even received her first overseas order and is now a fully-fledged international businessman.
In Gu Qingwan's letter, she wrote eloquently about her experience in Xiangjiang (Hong Kong = HK), and bought some novel gadgets and novel fabrics for Jiang Ning.
Under such frequent contact.
Jiang Ning also became familiar with the department store manager.
The department store manager is a veteran of shopping malls, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to purchase these supplies.
So Jiang Ning entrusted this matter to the manager of the department store.
The manager had been told by Gu Qingwan to do his best to complete whatever Jiang Ning requested.
But during this period, Jiang Ning had no demands at all.
She is obviously the wife of the leader, but she has always been gentle, gentle, and polite, without any of the bossiness or aggression of those noble ladies.
This is the most approachable customer the manager has come across in his decades of business experience.
Now Jiang Ning finally spoke.
Of course the department store manager agreed.
"Mrs. Qin, you said you only want a cart of coal, some cabbage and potatoes."
"Yes. Manager, the time I need is a bit tight. Am I making it too difficult for you?"
Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed.
The manager shook his head hurriedly, "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, I will definitely handle this!"
What the manager is thinking is not that it is difficult, but that it is too simple!
Just a load of coal...
It’s not like a car full of gold…
Such a thing is as easy as sand leaking out from the gaps between fingers.
This way.
This is the current scene.
…
Gao Fang stood on one of the tractors, braved the cold wind, and said it again to the sisters-in-law around him.
"Sisters-in-law, these things are given to you all by Captain Qin for the winter. You line up first, don't be anxious, everyone will be able to get their share for each family."
The sisters-in-law were still dubious at first.
But Gao Fang shouted these words at the top of his lungs in front of everyone, what else can't be believed!
Everyone started to line up excitedly.
The distribution of supplies was also carried out in an orderly manner.
Among them, the one who took the lead was not the sisters-in-law who were in a happy mood, but Zhao Shuisheng.
I saw a tall and burly man, taking off his outermost military coat, wearing an old blue overalls, pushing a trolley towards this side.
Zhao Shuisheng said to Qin Jiulie.
"Qin Tuan, thank you!"
Zhao Shuisheng must have been worried about the things that Qin Jiulie was worried about, but his mind was not as sharp as Qin Jiulie's and he couldn't think of a solution.
Now Qin Jiulie is determined to take care of everyone's winter affairs together.
He can also feel at ease.
Men don't need too many words between men. Just a word of thanks and the kindness will be remembered in the heart.
Zhao Shuisheng pulled the cart and loaded it with a cart of coal, a cart of yellow mud, and a cart of cabbage and potatoes.
He was working in the cold wind the whole time and didn't let Yang Rui come out.
He poured the coal and yellow mud in front of his yard and needed the next step.
They don't have ready-made briquettes here.
Coal is dug out of coal mines and is just crushed into small pieces.
Such coal cannot be used directly.
The coal raw materials need to be mashed together with the yellow mud, and water is added according to a certain proportion and stirred together.
This step is the same as making mortar and cement.
After the coal and yellow mud are mixed evenly, use an iron circular mold to press out individual briquettes.
If you want the briquettes to stay strong, you must use a lot of force during this pressing process.
Then you can make briquettes one by one.
Finally, leave it to dry and you're done.
After Zhao Shuisheng, there were men from every household. They took over the carts and also carried coal and yellow mud to their homes.
Then start tinkering hard and start making briquettes.
Some sisters-in-law have never seen their men do such things.
First, I was shocked and stunned, at a loss what to do.
But looking at every household around, they were all in full swing.
I actually feel... pretty good, and feel warm in my heart.
…
In front of Jiang Ning's yard.
Qin Jiulie held a tool in his hand and mixed the black coal and the sticky yellow mud with water.
Although the weather is cold, I work hard.
Qin Jiulie's body had begun to sweat.
Jiang Ning held a towel and hot tea in his hand, which he handed to Qin Jiulie from time to time.
Qin Jiulie stopped what he was doing for a moment, looked at Jiang Ning with his dark eyes, and said with concern.
"Daughter-in-law, it's windy outside. Go inside and sit down. Don't let the wind chill you. You'll feel uncomfortable."
"I'm not cold, I just want to be here with you."
Jiang Ning's face was slightly chilled by the cold wind, but she couldn't bear her desire to be by Qin Jiulie's side.
