This matter, the initial starting point, was originally just Qin Jiulie worried about how Jiang Ning would spend the winter alone.

The altitude of the mountain is high, the temperature is low, and there is heavy snow in winter.

When the snow is at its thickest, it can be half a meter thick, and it is almost impossible to go out.

Even if Qin Jiulie knew that there was a spiritual treasure space in Jiangning, as long as he entered it, it would be as warm as spring all year round.

But Jiang Ning still spends half of his time in the real world in a day.

Such a cold winter, with no heating, is completely different from Jiangning's original southern hometown.

In the cottage.

It is generally used to burn wood to barely keep warm.

But the firewood is kept outside the house, so it is not easy to bring it in, and it is also a hassle to make firewood.

So Qin Jiulie wanted to buy some coal and prepare to make honeycomb coal, or briquettes, by himself.

In this way, the coal stove in the house can continue to burn, and there is no need to worry about heating.

Qin Jiulie told Jiang Ning about this idea.

After Jiang Ning listened, he proposed......

"It's not just me who wants to spend the winter, but my sisters-in-law also have to spend the winter, so it's better to buy a cart of coal and distribute it to everyone."

Jiang Ning's decision also has other considerations.

Recently, the sisters-in-law have been in a heavy mood, if we can solve the problem of materials for the winter, we will definitely be able to make everyone happy and happy, and dilute the sadness caused by the things in front of us.

She proposed.

"Not only do we have to buy coal, but we can also buy some cabbage and potatoes, which are the two vegetables that can be preserved the most and can be eaten for a winter."

After listening to Jiang Ning's proposal, Qin Jiulie immediately agreed.

The husband and wife also agreed that they would pay for these things and give them to the sisters-in-law for free.

In this day and age.

Materials such as coal are people's livelihood goods that are managed in an integrated manner.

Even if Qin Jiulie wanted to buy it, it was not something that could be bought casually in a short period of time.

At this time, Jiang Ning remembered a person.

- Gu Qingwan.

Since Gu Qingwan went to Shencheng, although they haven't seen each other again.

But during this period, the connection between the two of them has never been broken.

The manager of the Gu family department store, who is also a person Gu Qingwan trusts, often comes up the mountain.

He came to get Jiang Ning's latest design drawings and sent Jiang Ning a lot of things.

Gu Qingwan's garment factory has been running smoothly, and it has only been a few months, and it has already started.

She even received her first overseas order, and now she is a proper international businessman.

In Gu Qingwan's letter, she wrote about her experience of going to Xiangjiang (Xiangjiang = HK), buying some novel gadgets and novel fabrics to give to Jiangning.

Under such frequent contact.

Jiang Ning is also familiar with the manager of the department store.

The manager of the department store is a veteran of the mall, so it should not be difficult for him to buy these supplies.

So Jiang Ning entrusted this matter to the manager of the department store.

The manager was originally told by Gu Qingwan that as long as it was Jiang Ning's request, he would do his best to complete it.

But during this period, Jiang Ning did not have any requirements at all.

She is obviously the wife of the head of the regiment, but she has always been gentle and polite, without the arrogance and aggressiveness of those noble ladies and wives.

It is the manager who has been in business for decades and has been in contact with the most approachable customers.

Now Jiang Ning finally spoke.

Of course, the manager of the department store agreed.

"Mrs. Qin, you said that you only need a cart of coal, and some cabbage and potatoes."

"Hmm. Manager, I'm a little short of time, isn't it too difficult for you? ”

Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed.

The manager hurriedly shook his head, "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, I will definitely do this thing!" ”

What the manager thinks in his heart is not that he is embarrassed, but that it is too simple!

Just a truckload of coal......

It's not a car of gold......

It's as easy as sand leaking through your fingers.

And so it goes.

That's where we are now.

……

Gao Fang stood on one of the tractors, braved the cold wind, and said again to the sisters-in-law around him.

"Sisters-in-law, these things were given by Head Qin to the big guys for the winter. You line up first, don't worry, everyone will definitely be able to get a share. ”

The sisters-in-law were still skeptical.

But when I said this, I shouted it out in front of everyone, and I couldn't believe it!

One by one, they began to line up excitedly.

The distribution of supplies was also carried out in an orderly manner.

One of them took the lead, but it was not the sisters-in-law who were in a happy mood, but Zhao Shuisheng.

I saw a tall and burly man, who had taken off his outermost military coat and wore an old blue overalls, pushing a small cart towards this side.

Zhao Shuisheng said to Qin Jiulie.

"Qin Tuan, thank you!"

What Qin Jiulie was worried about, Zhao Shuisheng must also be worried, but his brain was not as lively as Qin Jiulie, and he couldn't think of a solution.

Now Qin Jiulie has the heart to handle the big guy's winter together.

He will be able to rest assured.

Men don't need too many words between each other, a word of thanks, and this kindness will be remembered in their hearts.

Zhao Shuisheng pulled a small cart and loaded a cart of coal, a cart of yellow mud, and a cart of cabbage and potatoes back.

He was working in the cold wind the whole time, and he didn't let Yang Rui come out.

He poured coal and yellow mud in front of his yard door, and he needed to do the next step.

They don't have ready-made honeycomb coal here.

Coal is dug out of the coal mine, just crushed in small pieces.

Such coal cannot be used directly.

It is necessary to mash the coal raw materials together with the yellow mud and stir them together with water in a certain proportion.

This step is the same as making mortar cement.

When the coal and yellow mud are evenly mixed, a circular mold is made of iron to press out the honeycomb coal.

In order for honeycomb coal to be strong and persistent, it is necessary to use a lot of force in this pressing process.

Only then can honeycomb coal be made one by one.

Finally, it is left to dry.

After Zhao Shuisheng, it was the men of every family, who took the small cart and carried coal and yellow mud to the house.

Then I started pounding hard and started making honeycomb coal.

Some sisters-in-law, where have they ever seen their own men do such things.

At first, I was shocked and stunned, and I was at a loss.

But looking at every household around, they are all in full swing.

I think it's ...... It's good, my heart is warm.

……

In front of the courtyard of Jiang Ning's house.

Qin Jiulie held a tool in his hand, adding water to stir the black coal and the yellow mud with a certain stickiness.

Although the weather was cold, I worked hard.

Qin Jiulie's body was already sweating.

Jiang Ning held a towel in his hand, as well as hot tea, and handed it to Qin Jiulie from time to time.

Qin Jiulie stopped the movements of his hand slightly, looked at Jiang Ning with dark eyes, and said with concern.

"Daughter-in-law, it's windy outside, you go into the house and sit, don't blow cold, it'll be uncomfortable."

"I'm not cold, I just want to be here with you."

Jiang Ning's face was slightly chilled by the cold wind, but she couldn't bear her heart of wanting to be by Qin Jiulie's side.
