This plant, called the white saxon, can only be found in the deserts of the frontier.

And when this plant is burned as fuel, it is even better than coal.

It is a very good firewood and can be said to be one of the best wood fuels in the world.

Its calorific value per gram is 4302 calories, and the calorific power of one ton of shuttle firewood is equivalent to the calorific value of nearly 0.7 tons of coal, so it is also called "desert live coal".

The most important thing is the firewood, which is durable to burn, and a section of the firewood can be burned all night in the hearth, and there is no need to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood.

Before, they didn't know, they just talked about some nearby reeds and brought them back directly.

Later, it was the summer solstice that told them that it was more appropriate to cut this kind of shuttle firewood, especially in winter, this kind of shuttle firewood does not take up space, and it is particularly resistant to burning.

At this time, everyone came to this piece of Suosuo wood familiarly.

Due to the nearby wetland of reeds, the firewood here grows very luxuriantly.

The partner was indeed not tired of getting up to work, and Xia Zhi carried a one-person-high firewood with a rope on his shoulder, turned around and walked back towards the ground.

This bundle of firewood is basically enough for them for half a month.

While chopping wood, everyone discussed whether they could apply with the team.

It's best to send them to the county to buy something.

The main thing is that the distance is not short, and everyone doesn't know the way, so it's easy to get lost, but there is nothing in the supply and marketing cooperatives near them, and now the counters are empty and dusty when they walk in.

Seeing that it is going to snow, if they don't prepare something early, this winter is probably really worrying, and they have been out of food for more than ten days.

So there were no vegetables in winter, but there were no pickles at this time.

Everyone encouraged Xia Zhi to find Zhou Zhengan while talking, after all, everyone knows the relationship between Xia Zhi and Zhou Zhengan.

Xia Zhi didn't refuse to do this, not only did everyone want to go, but she also wanted to go.

It's really a bit difficult to live here for half a month, mainly because this year they are just here, and they haven't prepared anything in advance, so this winter is extremely difficult.

If you don't do any physical work, you can eat a little less food, but if you don't have vegetables at all, you can't stand it.

After the firewood was carried out, Xia Zhi ran to the team headquarters to find Zhou Zhengan.

walked up to him and said hello to the little comrade who was guarding the door.

Everyone knows the summer solstice.

Seeing the appearance of the summer solstice, the little comrade smiled and pointed to the captain's office.

"Comrade Xiao Xia, our captain is inside, there's nothing wrong now, you go quickly."

"Thank you!"

"Hey, thank you?"

Xia Zhi greeted everyone with a smile and a very warm attitude.

Everyone loves the summer solstice, especially the summer solstice is good-looking, and the meals cooked in the summer are particularly delicious.

Zhou Zhengan was worried in the office for a while, and the materials in their canteen were cut off.

Under normal circumstances, they should have delivered food once a week, but this time it has been half a month, and no food has been delivered.

The cafeteria tried to reduce the number of dishes for two weeks, but now the canteen has run out of food.

In any case, it is necessary to ensure the normal needs of these comrades who are trained every day.

Zhou Zhengan shook the phone vigorously to contact the county's vegetable supply station.

"Stationmaster Wang, we haven't delivered food for a week."

"Captain Zhou, it's not that we won't send it to you, the road has been cut off after the snow."

"Two of our cars have broken down on the road, and they have been broken down for a week, and they can't be repaired at all."

"It's not that we won't send it to you, it's that we really can't do it, otherwise you can drive the wagon or ox cart to pull it yourself, and now the only way you can go on this road is the ox cart and the horse cart.

There are not even ox carts and carriages, so it is estimated that they can only be carried back by people, and it is really not that I will not send them to you.

We can't do anything about this kind of difficulty, and there is simply not enough manpower now. ”

"Stationmaster Wang, okay, I'll arrange some manpower to see if I can pull out the carriage and ox cart to pull the vegetables, if it really doesn't work, I will also bring someone over to carry the vegetables back, I can't stand it here."

"Captain Zhou is really sorry, you also know that the weather is not good, it's really not that we don't want to do a good job of logistics for our comrades."

Stationmaster Wang is very helpless to explain.

His phone has been blown up, and the vegetables are piled up here, but they can't be delivered.

Zhou Zhengan put down the phone and was about to gather people, but when he turned his head, he saw the summer solstice.

"Xiao Xia, why are you here? Is there something wrong? ”

"Captain Zhou, I see that it is about to snow, we know the youth, the educated youth want to apply with the team, we go to the county's supply and marketing cooperatives to sell and buy something.

We haven't had food here for more than half a month. ”

When Zhou Zhengan heard this, his face showed a little hesitation, it turned out that everyone was worried about the same thing.

"You don't have to go, now the dishes on the team have been broken, and the snow that fell on the road some time ago.

The roads are impassable, and several trucks in the county have broken down, so they can't be sent out for repair. ”

"I'm about to organize people to go over and pull vegetables, so you can wait here!

When the time comes, I will also help you bring some back, and you can go directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them. ”

As soon as Xia Solstice heard this, he glanced at the sky, and some of the sky was gloomy and gloomy, as if the clouds were pressing on the top of people's heads.

This low air pressure makes it a little difficult to breathe.

I can feel that this heavy snow will come down at any time, and if I drive back and forth in a car, it will only take three hours, and I will be back soon.

But if you rely on horse-drawn carts, ox-carts, or manpower, you may not be able to return until the evening.

According to her experience, the snow is estimated to be at eight or nine o'clock tonight at the most.

Zhou Zhengan and the others are taking people now, and it is estimated that it is very likely that they will either be blocked on the road, or they will not be able to come back when they arrive at the county seat.

"Can't the captain drive a truck? Look at the sky. ”

Zhou Zhengan looked at the sky, and his good-looking brows were tightly locked.

"The weather doesn't look good, it's estimated that at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, at most 10 o'clock, this snow will definitely fall.

It's not that I don't want to drive a truck, it's that this road is too slippery now, and driving a truck on the road will cause accidents.

I can't gamble with the lives of my comrades. ”

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered.

At the end of the year, there were no so-called tire chains, snow plows, and no means of spreading salt snow.

After a heavy snowfall, it is basically difficult to move on the ground.

The temperature here is kept around minus 30 degrees ~ 40 degrees in winter, even if the temperature is not low today, it is still only minus 256 degrees.

The snow on the road surface does not melt at all.

Especially at noon, when the sun shines, some of the water vapor will melt out of the snow surface, increasing the slippery surface of the ground.

"Captain, I have a solution, I don't know if it can be used, or let's give it a try?"
