As soon as the coal stove and smoke pipe are installed, the effect is immediately apparent.
Although the original stainless steel basin can also be used for heating, the windows have to be opened from time to time for ventilation, which results in the temperature in the home never going up.
The coal stove can burn the fire more vigorously, and the smoke pipe can discharge all harmful gases while conducting secondary heat transfer. In addition, Liu Mo is not short of points and keeps adding coal fiercely.
The temperature in the home quickly rose.
By the time lunch was made at 12 noon, the bedroom was already 21 o'clock, so Liu Mo changed into pajamas and lay down comfortably to watch the show.
Ran Yao upstairs also felt the change in temperature.
It was still a bit cold at home, but after twelve o'clock, she actually felt a little comfortable.
Looking again, the temperature in the bedroom has reached ten degrees.
"Is Liu Mo crazy? Our family has ten degrees, how many degrees does his family have?"
Ran Yao's face was full of disbelief.
Nowadays, everyone has a mentality of saving when they can. It’s good if other people’s homes can have a temperature of four to five degrees to prevent people from freezing, and down jackets are worn one by one.
Because the two houses were only separated by one floor, she curiously opened the window and looked down, only to find a pipe sticking out of the window downstairs?
Because the weather was so cold, most of the smoke was frozen into yellow ice cones hanging below the pipe. Occasionally, some that was not completely frozen flowed down the pipe, was frozen into ice in the air, and finally fell heavily. In the snow.
"Does Liu Mo have a stove at home?"
In an instant, this idea came to Ran Yao's mind.
The smoke pipe cannot be faked, and it can only be used with the stove.
Only then did she finally understand why Liu Mo's house was so warm.
When there is a stove, there is no need to open a window for ventilation. You can use one-third or even one-quarter of the materials used by others to obtain the same heat.
"Oh my god, this person is so lucky, and there may be a lot of food at home."
"If I can ask him for help in the future, it will be fine even if I pay a small price..."
Ran Yao's face was full of excitement.
It is already the sixth day since the disaster broke out.
Except for those who had collected a batch of supplies with Zhang Beiqiang before, everyone else's homes were starting to run out of food.
After eating fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk, I can only eat flour and rice.
In the absence of vegetable and meat side dishes, it is very normal for a person to eat half a catty of dry rice a day.
Ran Yao's family is no exception. There are three people in her family, and they usually only have half a bag of rice. As for vegetables and eggs, they are always bought fresh.
Even though I have been saving in the past few days, I only have half left now, and it seems that there is not enough to eat.
"Although I am a woman, Liu Mo is not strong either. Three against one should have a winning rate..."
"Daughter, we can't rob other people's things."
The old couple heard Ran Yao muttering and interrupted with panic on their faces.
In their view, the disaster will always pass. What if they are charged with robbery in the process and are arrested by the police?
"That's what I said."
Ran Yao smiled.
She had thought about it, but she really didn't have the courage to implement it.
Just like what my parents said, what should I do if I get caught by the police after the disaster is over?
The maximum sentence for theft is four to five years, but the sentence for robbery is more than ten years!
Now that she can enjoy free heating, she is very satisfied.
As for food, if Liu Mo has a lot, he can exchange it with money or things.
But the reason why Ran Yao thinks so is entirely because she still has surplus food at home.
The appetites of the three of us are not large, so if we save a little, we can still eat for a few days, so there is enough time to buffer.
But some owners are different.
There was no food supply at home, but after working hard at home for six days, we were completely out of food.
Zhao Ximing from Building 6 is a typical urban old man. He came from his hometown with his wife two months ago to help his son and his family look after their granddaughter.
He, his wife, and his son's family of three make a total of five people.
For the sake of health, he goes out every morning to buy some fresh vegetables. On December 1st, he also bought enough for the day.
On the second day of the disaster, all the fresh vegetables were gone, leaving only some frozen goods and egg rice.
On the fourth day, the few frozen goods and eggs were gone.
Today, the rice at home is also running out.
Zhao Ximing's son Zhao Yongxin sent a message asking for help in the group early in the morning, hoping that kind people would help his family with some rice.
He can stop eating, and even his parents can stop eating, but his wife cannot stop eating.
In fact, in order to make more food for his wife, he and his parents had not eaten enough for three days.
His wife has just given birth, which is a time when she needs a lot of help.
But after eating rice for several days, the nutrition was unbalanced, and my milk supply had decreased a lot since the day before yesterday.
I ran out of food last night, and today I haven't even a drop of milk.
My daughter, who was only two months old, was so hungry that she cried loudly. The whole family sat together, each one more silent than the other.
"I'll knock on the door of every house to borrow food!"
Zhao Yongxin gritted his teeth, stood up, tightened the zipper of his down jacket, and walked out.
It was more than 40 degrees below zero outside, and as soon as he opened the bedroom door, the chill instantly invaded his whole body.
He shivered, fearing that his wife and daughter would catch the cold, so he quickly closed the door to the room.
But what made him despair was that he kept knocking on the door from the 31st floor to the first floor, but no one chose to open the door.
He even knocked on the door loudly outside, but in the end there was no response.
But the whole building is empty, is that possible?
But faced with the cold security doors in every household, Zhao Yongxin was helpless.
When he got home, his eyes suddenly turned red when he saw his expectant wife and daughter waiting for food in the house.
"Dad, please carry it over here, and I'll feed the baby."
Seeing Zhao Yongxin with empty hands, the expectation on his wife's face turned into disappointment.
But looking at the crying daughter beside him, he could only bite the bullet and hug the child.
A few minutes later, she tremblingly handed the child to Zhao Yongxin again.
The moment Zhao Yongxin took the child, he suddenly saw a trace of blood at the corner of the child's mouth.
He knew that the child couldn't get enough milk and hurt his wife when he sucked hard...
He gently covered his wife with a quilt on the bed, then sat aside with a dull head, and stiffly added two pieces of wood to the stainless steel basin.
