Chapter 194: Light is priceless
After everyone received the ducks and geese, they were just about to go back to their respective homes, only to see a big liberation drive into the village, and the wild boy ran up to take a look, and immediately jumped and jumped, crazy: "The electricity is here!"
Several electricians jumped out of the car, all wearing wide and long cowhide belts with pistol-like tool bags on the belts, which contained the "three major pieces"βpliers, boards, and screwdrivers. This outfit is like a mighty and unyielding warrior on the battlefield, and it can be described in one word - handsome.
Hu said that the electrician at that time was amazing, known as the electric tiger, carrying three major pieces in his waist, walking on the road with his chest up, majestic, high-spirited, more majestic than the township chief.
When the villagers heard the joy, they hula surrounded them, and everyone had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Captain Li shook hands with the comrades of the Electric Power Bureau one by one: "Thank you, we have been touching the dark in the mountains for decades, and today we are finally looking forward to the lightββ"
"I'll go home and stew the goose, no one is allowed to leave today!" Wang Sanpao shouted, and ran home, the fat man hurriedly called the sister-in-law to send two more geese, and the Electric Power Bureau also has five or six comrades, how can it be done less.
The car boss also followed: "I still have a big fish at home, get some special ones, and entertain our light messenger." β
The "Light Messengers" didn't expect to be so popular, and they were polite again and again: "Folks, don't bother, which one is the captain, inform me, and ask each family to prepare a telephone pole, five meters away." Then each family sent someone to take back the porcelain bottles, electric meters, wires, and so on. By the way, there is also a fee of 18 yuan per household, which is the money for electricity meters and parts. β
"No problem, we'll pay for it first. The fat man pulled out a big school bag, and a few days ago, more than 4,000 small roosters were sold on the chicken farm. The price of chickens is slightly more expensive than that of big geese and ducks, so the difference of 1,000 yuan can be comparable to the price of buying ducks and geese.
More than 4,000 ducks and geese, in fact, even if it costs a thousand yuan, so the fat man will slaughter the male duck and male goose.
One hundred and eight households, 18 yuan per household, a total of more than 1,900 yuan, the fat man pulled out two piles of great unity, both are brand new tickets, not yet bundled, a bundle of 100 sheets, exactly 1,000 yuan.
"Hehe, your brigade is really rich, fat comrade, you deserve to be a tough accountant in this brigade. A comrade from the Electric Power Bureau was full of praise while checking the money.
Everyone looked at the fat man and smiled: "Yes, he, the accountant of the brigade, sends us money from time to time." "Last time, the money from the sale of medicinal herbs and pine nuts was divided into three large solidarities.
The comrades of the Electric Power Bureau wondered in their hearts: We have all heard that this backer is a poor ravine, and we thought that it would be good if half of the people could light the electric lights when they were connected to electricity.
As soon as the captain shouted to the production team, the villagers lined up, a large electricity meter, a fuse box, a small white porcelain square box, with two hinges underneath, the power was cut off when it was opened, and the power was turned on when it was pushed, which was different from the knife switch in the memory of the fat man.
In addition, there are two large porcelain gourds, with iron tips underneath, and screw mouths, which can be screwed into wooden poles, and several slender porcelain pipes, which are used when wires pass through the wall, and are set outside the wires to play a protective role.
After dividing the things, the comrades of the Electric Power Bureau divided into two groups, one of which went to each house to pull wires and install electricity meters and fuse boxes. The other group went to the production team to install transformers.
The fat man led a few stick guys, used a rope to carry the transformer to the yard of the production team, and then picked up a big pickaxe and dug the pit to lower the pole. This month, it was just frozen more than a foot deep, and the frozen soil was quickly broken, and the progress skyrocketed.
Seeing that there were more and more people helping with the work, the fat man took out and went to Wang Sanpao's house to have a look at the food. When I entered the house, I saw Wang Sanpao holding a small knife and chopping a goose on the cutting board.
As a connoisseur, first remove the thighs, shoulders and neck with a knife. The blade wanders in the crack of the bone, and it is not necessary to use brute force at all, so it decomposes the goose, which is a bit of a realm of solving the cow, and it is easy to play.
Then, the breast and back were separated, and then a small axe was taken, chopped into pieces, two large geese, and the chopping was finished in the blink of an eye.
Put firewood under the big iron pot, pour the goose meat into the pot, and then start to pull, this has a name, called "the iron pot relies on the goose", instead of slowly boiling the fat on the goose meat, after the meat is fried dry, then add soup and simmer slowly.
Aunt Wang used a large pot to soak the old and young dried potatoes, and then put them in when the goose was about to cook. As soon as he saw the dried potatoes, the fat man was happy: "This is delicious." β
"After installing the electricity, let's also buy a hair dryer, which is said to be much faster than the wind box, and you don't have to pull it. Aunt Wang said happily while dragging the wind box.
When the fat man heard this, he slapped his thigh and ran out, went straight to the car boss's house, and shouted when he entered the house: "Uncle boss, hurry up and set up the car, let's go to the commune." β
"This house will have electricity in a while, what are you doing in the commune?" the car boss was also busy working by the pot.
"Buy a light bulb, otherwise the electricity will be turned on, and it won't be lit. β
The boss of the car also slapped his thigh: "That's right, it's slippery, what's it, let's ask the comrades of the Electric Power Bureau first to see what they need." β
The fat man turned around and pulled a list: the wooden table, the lamp head, and the light bulb, basically two per household, one in the kitchen, one in the house, and three in the old and young rooms or the east and west houses. The flower line in the house also has to be ten meters and eight meters for each household, and other electrical appliances can be purchased by themselves.
The car boss flicked the whip, and the carriage rumbled out of the backing mountain, and stopped at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The two of them entered the inside, and as soon as the fat man handed over the list, the salesman was dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "Let's go directly to the warehouse to pick up the goods." β
The warehouse keeper opened the door, moved boxes by box, and finally asked, "How big are the bulbs?"
"Of course, the brighter the better, what is the maximum degree of your this?" asked the car boss.
"The largest is 200 degrees. The salesman brought a big bulb, similar to a small gourd, and was so happy that the car owner's beard straightened: "That's it." β
The fat man hurriedly pulled him aside, 200 degrees of light bulbs, one kilowatt-hour of electricity in five hours, it was a pure waste, and a few people had to keep it when everyone got together.
So a 25-watt and a 50-watt family, the car boss smacked his lips vigorously: "Fatty, be smaller." β
When the fat man heard this, he bought two more boxes of 100 degrees, one box was six, and then went to the front to open the ticket and pay the money, and then led the carriage to the door of the warehouse and loaded the cart with things.
The carriage walked out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, and happened to meet the yellow guy, and the fat man greeted happily: "When will you go to our place to play a movie, this time there is electricity." β
"Your line is connected, can you get it done tomorrow? We have a new film "Red Peony", which is called good-looking. "Young man Huang also looks quite happy.
"Is there a song of peonies in itβah, peonies, the most vivid among the flowersβ" The fat man was so excited when he heard it that he couldn't help but sing a few words, and as a result, the people on both sides of the road glanced at him with strange eyes, and the fat man closed his mouth very self-consciously.
"That's right, that's okay, come and pick me up tomorrow. "Huang Xiaogang did things simply, and he made a decision on the spot.
On the way back, the car boss shook his whip even harder: "Red peony, it's good to hear this name - what, is she planting flowers?" β
"Well, specialize in peony flowers. "The fat man's heart was happy.
Back in the village, families came to collect their things. The fat man turned around, only to see that the transformer had been installed, and telephone poles had been erected under the windowsills of each house, and the outer wires had been torn up. Several comrades from the Electric Power Bureau are very neat in their work, but anyway, the road is too far away, and they can't go back today, so they are simply greedy for the dark, and they can make a profit early tomorrow.
Wang Sanpao came out and looked out several times to see that it was about to get dark, so he called it a day. Fatty, Captain Li naturally went to accompany the guests.
Today, Wang Sanpao's house is exceptionally bright, with four candles and an oil lamp all lit. As soon as Captain Li entered the door, he smiled: "What's the New Year." β
"Tomorrow we will start using electricity, this wax will no longer be used, and it must be bright tonight. "Wang Sanpao's mouth is dumb, and he is almost grinning to the root of his ears.
Everyone sat around standing on the side, full of a big table, Aunt Wang first brought up two pots of goose, only to see that the potatoes on it were dry and yellow, and the goose meat was bright and bright, revealing a fragrance.
Then two pots of stewed vermicelli came up, and there were pieces of duck gizzard and goose gizzard in it, which were full of strength, and there was a layer of fine oil bubbles hanging on the vermicelli, which looked appetizing.
The fat man poured the wine: "Everyone has been busy all day, drink more, sleep well, let's drink slowly, eat slowly, and there are a lot of dishes." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the car boss enter the house with two large basins, and the two basins were stacked together, and they were steaming inside. Aunt Wang found two pots and served them, but she saw the stewed red and oily, and she couldn't tell what it was.
Captain Li raised his wine glass: "Let me say a few words first, tonight, it is particularly memorable, it is the last time we light candles and oil lamps in Shantun, starting tomorrow, such days will be completely gone." Come, thank you to the comrades of the Electric Power Bureau, and talk big and tidy. β
After speaking, he drank a small half bowl, and then wiped his mouth: "Happy!"
The fat man grinned when he saw that several electricians were grinning, so he said: "Although we are farmers, we also have the desire to pursue light, and this wish is about to come true, light is priceless, long live light." A few comrades drank slowly, and we didn't know how to express it because we were excited. β
"Okay, the light is priceless, let's all take a big drink, and we won't go back tonight anyway. The leading squad leader was a Luo, and the others were also emotional, and one of them muttered.
"Eat vegetables. As soon as the fat man let go with his chopsticks, everyone began to move their chopsticks. The fat man first sandwiched a few slices of dried potatoes, which were full of flavor and very strong, and the bite was creaky, not at all like they were made of potatoes.
"Try this, it's a small belly that I specially processed. "The car boss strongly recommends the dishes he served.
Everyone took a bite, and it was really smooth and fragrant, and it was very biting, and they all praised it again and again. The fat man ate one and couldn't help asking: "Uncle boss, this pork belly is too thin, it won't be the belly of a little pig, but it tastes really good." β
"Haha, this is a duck and goose, so it's called a small belly, how about it, I said it's delicious, you still don't believe it. The car boss looked proud.
The fat man was picking up a piece of intestine-like things, and he had already bitten half of it in his mouth, and when he heard it, he quickly stopped his chopsticks: "This can't be a goose intestine - what, it's really delicious." With that, he put the remaining half in his mouth and chewed it.
