Chapter 257: New Year's Goods

Ye Qi asked, Li Ran glanced back at her and said, "You didn't pick it up by me." ”

When Ye Qi heard her mother say this, she just wanted to say something, but she didn't wait for her to speak.

I heard Li Ran say: "You were picked up by me." ”

"Ugh!"

Ye Qi is very hurt, isn't this all the same?

Only Ye Lin laughed heartlessly on the side.

Hearing Ye Lin's laughter, Ye Qi glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at, last time my mother said that you picked it up!"

"I don't care! Ye Lin shrugged.

Seeing this pair of children arguing, Li Ran shook his head and went to cook with Zhai Ying.

The next morning, Ye Lin went to the department store on a sled, and today he came to buy New Year's goods.

Others buy New Year's goods to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives, and Ye Lin buys New Year's goods to go to department stores.

Don't think that Ye Lin came here alone to buy New Year's goods, but there are many people who come here to buy New Year's goods.

Wen ***'s life has not yet begun, and the rich have not yet run away or been locked up, and there are still many rich people at this time.

Of course, this rich man is not talking about Ye Lin who made a fortune in a muffled voice, but about those capitalists.

Although the capitalists have already entered into public-private partnerships, they still have a lot of income every month, and this of course depends on how much capital they have before the public-private partnership.

For example, before the public-private partnership, a capitalist with a capital of one million yuan could get tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of yuan a month.

And there is no need to do anything, there is so much in dividends alone.

It can be said that 99.9% of the people who come to the department store to buy New Year's goods at this time are these people, and it is estimated that only Ye Lin is an alternative.

Ye Lin's New Year's goods are very simple, cloth, candy, snacks, New Year's paintings, door money, and couplets.

He only needs to buy these, and he doesn't need to buy anything else at all, because he has everything else.

Let's put it this way: He has what he needs for the New Year, but department stores don't necessarily have.

First of all, Ye Lin went to the place where the cloth was sold, originally Ye Lin wanted to buy some finished clothes, but his mother disagreed.

It's not that my mother is afraid of spending money, but my mother feels that the finished clothes she sells are not as warm as those she makes.

There was no way, Ye Lin could only buy the cloth and let his mother do it.

However, you can also find someone else to do this, you only need to provide materials, and you will be given some processing fees after you do it.

"Comrade, please bring that piece of cloth and I'll take a look!"

Ye Lin pointed to a piece of wheel and said.

Ye Lin is no longer a child, he is now sixteen, and he will be seventeen after the New Year.

may have eaten too well over the years, Ye Lin's height has reached one meter seventy-one, this height is taller than many adults.

Of course, this is talking about this era, and if his height is placed in the future generations, although he will not be said to be disabled, he really can't do it.

But in this era, this is not short, and Ye Lin is only sixteen now, and he can still grow.

Ye Lin felt that there should be no problem catching up with the height of his previous life, although he was not very tall in his previous life.

At his height, of course, the salesperson can no longer treat him as a child, but as an adult.

If it was before, the salesperson would definitely say: "Go and go, don't mess with the children, let the adults in your family buy it." ”

But now, I heard the salesman say, "Okay comrade, I'll get it for you." ”

The salesman handed the strip wheel cloth to Ye Lin, Ye Lin touched it with his hand, and felt that it was okay, so he said, "Give me two meters." ”

"Two meters, huh?"

"Yes, two meters. ”

"Okay. ”

The color of this wheel is okay, dark blue, and you can make a new dress for Grandma Liu for the New Year.

The salesman quickly cut the cloth, and Ye Lin chose several more fabrics.

Among them, there are strips of velvet suitable for my mother, and cotton cloth suitable for my sister and Zhai Ying.

Ye Lin didn't need it, because he had a lot of new clothes to wear, not to mention the tunics he made himself, and there were a lot of other clothes.

After buying the fabric, Ye Lin went to buy New Year's paintings, couplets and door money, this thing doesn't need a ticket, and it's unlimited.

Of course, Ye Lin wants to buy more, not only for the family and Grandma Liu's house, but also for the car repair shop and the yard where the bicycle is placed.

Then there are candy and snacks, this one also requires a ticket, but Ye Lin seems to have never lacked this thing, and bought ten catties of candy in one go.

Candy in this era is very expensive, and a pound of hard fruit candy costs nine cents and six cents.

Don't talk about ordinary families, even some families with a better life will not buy it.

After buying candy, it is a snack, and this Ye Lin did not buy less, because he still had to visit the door, so Ye Lin not only bought bulk, but also bought some gift boxes, that is, Beijing eight pieces.

After buying these things, Ye Lin's New Year's goods were also purchased, and then he put the things on the sleigh and went home directly.

Ye Lin had just arrived at home, and before he put down his things, he heard his mother say: "Son, there are too many places where you need to burn a fire during the New Year, you can't just use a stove, you go get a tank of liquefied petroleum gas." ”

"Well, I'll be there in a minute. ”

In November 65, the first bottling station for the supply of liquefied petroleum gas for civil use was built in the western suburbs of Dì Dū, and it took the lead in developing users in some residential areas of Dì Dū.

The price of a tank of LPG is two yuan seven, and the negotiated price is three yuan two, and the voucher purchase is the resident purchase certificate.

Ye Lin, a person who came from later generations, of course, his first choice was to use this, because it was more convenient to use.

But when a can of gas runs out, my mother won't let me use it, saying that it is a waste, and this thing can't be used for heating, so it can only be used for cooking, how can there be honeycomb coal.

In the sixties, grass and firewood were burned in the countryside, and honeycomb coal was burned in the cities.

In winter, there is no heating, so you have to build a stove to keep warm.

It's going to be winter, so I have to buy that kind of tin cigarette slip first, and then fill the cigarette slip and install the stove by myself.

Heating a stove is not an easy task. To light the fire, you should first take a piece of newspaper and stuff it into the furnace cavity, the newspaper should be crumpled, and a piece of grass charcoal should be placed on top of it, and then a honeycomb coal block should be placed on top of the charcoal.

Then a match was lit underneath the newspaper, and when the newspaper was almost finished, the charcoal was drawn, and the charcoal was led to the coal, and so on the stove was lit step by step.

The process is very smoky, often filling the house with thick smoke.

Ignition is not very difficult, so it is not difficult to learn.

The difficulty is that after the stove is alive, it will not be extinguished, but also to achieve the purpose of heating.

In this era, everyone has had this experience, every day from the morning after getting up, the order of starting is as follows: 1, get up and turn on the stove, remove the ash, add coal, and seal the stove after 15 to 20 minutes.

Second, when I came back from work, I turned on the furnace to remove the ash, added coal, and when the newly added coal burned vigorously, it was about eight o'clock in the evening.

Three, enjoy two hours of slightly warmer moments, and then close the stove and go to sleep.

In this way, the maximum indoor temperature at night is around 10 to 13 degrees.

However, things are not so simple, and it often happens that the furnace goes out.

When using honeycomb coal, the most worrying thing is carbon monoxide poisoning, which is commonly known as "gas poisoning" by ordinary people.

Whenever the master who delivered the coal delivered coal to each household, everyone would politely pour tea and send cigarettes.

In order to be able to send some dry honeycomb coal to their own home, because the freshly made coal is very wet, very bad, and easy to produce gas (carbon monoxide), so everyone is very polite to the master who delivers coal at this time.

Of course, the neighbors are also very considerate of those coal delivery masters, a cart of coal weighs hundreds of kilograms, a person has to pull and move, if you catch up with a few yards deep will be more tired, often in late autumn weather, after moving coal but out of a sweat.

It's all hard-earned money, so everyone can give something they can give.

Normally, the honeycomb coal is blown in the yard for a few days after it is delivered to the house, until it is almost dry, and then the whole family mobilizes to move it to the small coal pond or under the windowsill of their home.

Then cover it with a layer of plastic sheeting and press a few bricks or tiles on it, and you're done. Because this coal is relied on in winter, no one wants to get wet when it rains.

Some families who can make a living will buy coal back and make their own honeycomb coal.

This not only ensures that the hand-selected raw coal is not adulterated, but also saves a lot of money.

The machine for making honeycomb coal is a portable iron frame about one meter long, with a honeycomb coal mold welded underneath, the coal is loaded into the mold, and the lid on the top of the mold is stepped down tightly with your feet, and then a molded honeycomb coal will fall out from under the mold and fall to the ground.

When rows and rows of honeycomb coal stood in a phalanx, the family laughed. At this time, may God bless you, don't rain for two or three days, and dry the honeycomb coal.

These are still in the 10th century, and they are basically not seen in the 21st century.

Even in the 10th century, what I saw was different from what I see now, because in the 10th century, in addition to some bungalows, honeycomb coal was burned in the suburbs, and liquefied petroleum gas was basically burned in the city.

After Ye Lin put his things in the house, he went out with a gas canister, and just now he didn't go home first, but went to the yard where the bicycle was put first.

He didn't know that he was going to fill the LPG again, so he untied the sleigh and now had to put it on again.

When they came here with gas canisters, Erhuang had just finished eating and were lazily skewering around the yard.

Seeing Ye Lin coming, Er Huang pounced first.

There is really no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is the overlord, if the rhubarb is there, the second yellow will never dare to pounce first.

"Don't make a fuss. Ye Lin pushed Er Huang away with his hand.

Although Ye Lin is now one meter seventy-one tall, Erhuang's two front legs can still reach his shoulders.

"Wow. ”

"it! We're going to get out. ”

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he released the sled.

Seeing this, Er Huang yelled at Ye Lin a few more times, and then obediently ran to the front, waiting for Ye Lin to put it on the cover.

There are eleven sets of sleds, and the second yellow is in the middle, and it is also the first one, which is commonly known as the leader.
