Ah Sheng could see that the boss's face was not good, but he couldn't figure out why, so he turned his head to look at Xiang Wan and smiled: "Xiaoguan, how much watermelon do you have?" I wanted to buy some for my family to try, and I bought one this summer, but it was unpalatable. ”

Peng Qingliang suddenly looked at Xiang Wan.

"There's only one in the family," seeing that the two were disappointed, Xiang Guan hooked his lips: "But I can ask people to send more." ”

Peng Qingliang pulled Ah Shengpao away from him, looked at Xiang Wan and smiled 'obscenely': "Xiaoguan, how many can you send over?" You see, you didn't get me back this watermelon last year, but I was asked by the people above, and you have to get a few hundred pounds for your brother this time. ”

Seeing that Peng Qingliang opened his mouth to be a few hundred catties, and Xiang Wan was still smiling, Ah Sheng knew that it was time to go out, so he turned his head and left neatly.

"A few hundred pounds are you satisfied? It's a pity, this time I asked someone to send 3,000 catties over, it's a pity. ”

Peng Qingliang jumped up on the spot, the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears, and he was excited and directly took Xiang Wan's hand and said, "Three thousand catties!" Then I'll go get the money now, and you can sit here for a while. ”

"No, I sent it over, I guess I will go the day after tomorrow, why are you in a hurry, my dad said that you have something to do with me, what's the matter?"

Peng Qingliang stopped at this time, turned around and went to the desk inside to get a document and put it in front of Xiang Wan, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

This is the latest policy issued from above, which vigorously supports the people to do business.

Xiang Wan looked up after taking a closer look: "It seems that our previous decision was correct." ”

"That's right, that's quite correct, the workshop over there in the factory has been built, only the dormitory building, and it will be finished at the end of next month, how are your design drawings here?" I have contacted all the machines and equipment, and I will let people pull them back in a few days. ”

Xiang Wan nodded: "I'm all ready here, I'll give you a quarterly drawing first, it's not long in the summer, when the time comes to make autumn and winter clothes, I also drew a few styles of bags and leather shoes, you can see if you can find someone to get some leather back." ”

"Okay, I'll figure out a way for this, I'll go to your house to get the drawings later."

Peng Qingliang, a worker who built the factory, hired a lot, and the factory was simple and did not require any layout, so it was built very quickly.

However, it will take some time for the staff dormitory to be built in the future.

The layout of the dormitory building is also an idea from Xiangguan, and it is slightly adjusted by drawing on the pattern of apartments in later generations; Two dormitories were built in the dormitory building, each with three floors and six rooms on each floor, and two people living in each room; In this way, a lot of people can live, and if you need to expand the scale after making money, you are not afraid, just build two more buildings when the time comes, anyway, Peng Qingliang will take down the entire piece of land over there; The place behind the mountain also deliberately left several acres of land for the two to build a yard, and it was convenient to go to the factory at that time.

The garment factory is only part of Xiangguan's plan, and Xiangguan is also ready to do real estate after graduating from university; Among them, he has made a lot of money in the past few years.

After the two finished speaking, Xiang Wan went home, and took out another watermelon from the platform when no one was there.

Xiang Xiong was chopping firewood in the yard with an axe, and Xiang Wan saw him sweating profusely, and couldn't help but say: "Dad, now it's all burning coal and gas, why don't you have someone send a cart of coal over another day." ”

Xiang Xiong smiled and put down the axe: "You don't understand this, how can the meals made of coal have the incense of firewood, even if the gas is enough, but you can still buy some charcoal and come back to boil water." ”

At the beginning of the 80s, the city began to popularize gas, and the advanced point was natural gas liquefied gas, but most people still use coal, and less use firewood.

There is a coal stove in the kitchen of Wangbei Lane, but there is no need to let people get up, just let people send coal.

As for natural gas, although Xiang Guan thinks it is cheap and easy to use, the person in charge of cooking is Xiang Xiong, and he can't help it if he doesn't want to use Xiang Guan.

Now there are about 800 tons of coal, and one can burn for an hour; Larger coal is five cents a piece, and smaller coal is four cents.

Xiang Xiong saw that his daughter didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was still thinking about the gas, so he smiled and said: "The things that came out of the gas two years ago, no one in the neighborhood uses them, and I don't need that thing, it's better to buy some coal and come back, and buy two stoves to put in the house, don't you keep shouting that it's cold in winter, and it will be warm when you burn the stove in the house." ”

In the winter of the first two years, Xiangguan was so cold that it was not good, the cold wind blew into the bones, and I didn't think about the coal at that time, and finally Xiang Xiong went to the hospital to find a friend and took a few glass bottles back to mix hot water.

The winter without air conditioning electric blankets is particularly difficult for Xiangguan.

At this time, after hearing Xiang Xiong's suggestion, Xiang Wan nodded hurriedly: "Let people set up two stoves in the house, and buy coal stoves in the other two rooms, and it won't be cold to read your writing homework and make clothes in winter." ”

"Okay, I'll go find someone tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Xiongcai noticed the watermelon that his daughter was carrying, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Where did you buy the watermelon?" It's huge. ”

"My friend gave it, Dad, you go wash your face, and I'll cut the watermelon."

In the end, the father and daughter sat on a chaise longue under the eaves and ate watermelon while talking.

Xiang Xiong was full of praise for the watermelon.

At night, Xiang Wan lay in bed and took the time to exchange 3,000 catties of watermelons and 3,000 catties of lychees on the platform, both of which are summer fruits and are also relatively popular in Beishi.

The next day, Xiang Wan went to school early, and Xiang Xiong went out to contact the coal seller.

When Xiang Wan came back at noon, a corner of the yard was full of coal, and after asking, he learned that Xiang Xiong spent 40 yuan to buy a ton of coal and put it back.

Xiang Wan looked at the pile of coal and couldn't help but smile: "Dad, when will it take so much?" ”

Xiang Xiong didn't care: "Use it slowly, I have already bought two coal stoves, invite someone to come to the house in the afternoon to start two more, and you don't have to be afraid of the cold in winter." ”

Beishi is not as good as the northeast, almost no one in Beishi uses a kang, and if you don't want to find a way to heat in winter, it is estimated that you will have to choke on the cold.

Xiang Wan nodded and didn't say anything after hearing this.

There is a well in the yard, and the remaining half of the watermelon eaten yesterday was chilled in the well by Xiang Xiong, and the sun is getting big at this time, and Xiang Xiong will take the watermelon and cut it into small pieces after lunch.

"Don't say that this watermelon is really cool to eat, as soon as you eat it, you will know that it is not grown in Beishi."

"Watermelons from other places, Beishi is not suitable for growing this, if you like to eat them, I will bring two more back tomorrow."

Xiang Xiong couldn't help nodding: "Then bring four, give one to your Aunt Fu, Uncle Deng and your aunt, and leave one at home to eat slowly." ”

"Okay."

"Xiao Peng told you about the situation over there, you chose the land well, I heard Xiao Peng say that the land has been bought?"
