After binding the system, Mrs. Wei went down the mountain

Chapter 215 Buying Coal to Burn a Boiler

The corners of Mrs. Wei's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and her peripheral vision glanced at the two people behind her.

Yue Hong, who noticed Mrs. Wei's gaze, quickly turned her attention elsewhere. As for Lin Tieqiang, he looked like he suddenly realized something.

"Mom, it turns out you bought the cheapest cinder block. No wonder it's better?"

As if he felt that he had said something wrong, the man quickly explained:

"That's right, the villagers around us all burn this kind of coal here. When my aunt came last time, I naturally recommended this kind of coal to her!"

Mrs. Wei glanced at the man appreciatively.

Mrs. Wei also borrowed the donkey from the slope and said to the man:

"The coal you recommended to me last time was indeed cheap, but it was not easy to use. This time you recommended cinders with better quality."

The man laughed.

"Auntie, good coal is no longer cinders. You guys come with me."

"Auntie, this coal is already very good. It can withstand high burning temperatures. My grandma's house burns this coal. A ton of coal is enough for the couple to survive the winter."

Mrs. Wei looked at Mei, then looked back at Yue Hong.

Yue Hong could only step forward, pick up one and look at it carefully, and then nodded.

Seeing Yue Hong nod, Mrs. Wei was relieved.

"Young man, how much does this cost per ton?"

"Auntie, this is 1650 per ton. You are an old customer. If you want to buy it, it is 1600 per ton."

After hearing the price, Mrs. Wei felt distressed. The last time she bought the one worth several hundred per ton, she already felt it was expensive. She calculated in her mind that the tuition fee she had charged at the beginning was really too little. It had only been a few months. There's not a penny left from what I spent on it.

"Give me 20 tons first, at the same address as last time."

As soon as he heard that Mrs. Wei had bought 20 tons directly, the young man immediately issued the invoice and said with a smile:

"Auntie, you are an open-minded person at first sight. I am really sorry for recommending you that bad coal last time!"

Mrs. Wei walked out of the mine amidst the young man's compliments.

20 tons of coal cost 32000 yuan, and grain cost 2500 yuan. The total cost for this trip was 34500 yuan.

Mrs. Wei arrived at home first, and soon after, the coal truck also arrived, and everyone came out to watch the excitement.

Shen Dahe looked at it carefully and then said:

"This time the coal is good, but the coal last time was not good. Sister Wei was simply deceived."

Fu Ye on the side asked curiously:

"Brother Shen, can you still tell the quality of coal?"

Yu Fang smiled and said:

"When he first retired, he stayed in the factory and burned boilers for two years."

Fu Ye smiled and gave a thumbs up. From Uncle Ge, everyone knows everything about the Shen family. They are both capable people, but their pensions are small. After retirement, the couple will have no money. In his spare time, Yu Fang worked as a supermarket cashier and washed dishes in restaurants, while Shen Dahe did almost every job he could do at his age.Seeing bags of coal being moved into the boiler room, Shen Dahe was shocked again.

"Sister Wei, how much coal did you buy?"

"20 tons"

"So many? Next year's ones are also ready?"

"I'm afraid these are not enough. It's cold at the foot of our mountain, and it will get even colder over time. I'll have to burn four times a day, in the morning, noon, evening, and the rest of the night."

"Four times of burn?"

Shen Dahe said in surprise:

In the past, the heating in their factory only came on twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening!

"Sister Wei, I wonder how long your heating will last?"

Mrs. Wei counted on her fingers.

"It's going to last until April anyway."

"There are still nearly four months to go. This little coal is really not enough!"

Mrs. Wei looked at Shen Dahe carefully.

"Brother Shen, do you know this?"

Shen Dahe nodded.

"When I first retired, I burned boilers in a factory for others."

Mrs. Wei's eyes suddenly lit up. What she lacks most now is this kind of technical talent.

"Dahe, I happen to be short of a boiler boiler right now. Let's see if you're interested?"

Shen Dahe glanced at his wife hesitantly.

Mrs. Wei thought for a moment and understood, then she smiled and said:

"Don't worry, working here will definitely not be in vain. I will give you 6000 yuan every month, but you may have to work harder, because you have to get up early in the morning to burn the boiler, and then continue to exercise with everyone! Work is work , but you can’t fall behind even if you exercise.”

After all, people paid money to come to their place to provide for their retirement, but they stopped supporting themselves and worked for themselves. If word of this got out, there would definitely be a lot of talk, so Mrs. Wei wanted to explain the matter clearly in advance. The main thing was to come here. I am a pensioner here, but I happen to have needs now. You do the work, and I will provide you with a salary, but the time is tight, and it will be more tiring than others.

Shen Dahe was a little excited. He didn't care whether he was tired or not. Compared with before in Beijing, burning boilers was so easy. Before retirement, he only had 3900 yuan a month when he burned boilers in the factory for two years, but now he is here with Sister Wei. But there are 6000 yuan a month.

Shen Dahe naturally agreed happily, and then Mrs. Wei took Shen Dahe to get familiar with his working environment.

Since heating, Lin Tieqiang has been burning the boiler at home. Where can Lin Tieqiang know how to do this job? After the equipment was completed, the installer briefly told Lin Tieqiang the usage process of the boiler. In this way, Lin Tieqiang became Mrs. Wei The first boilermaker in the family.

As soon as he entered, Shen Dahe covered his nose. The whole room was filled with soot!The ground was also covered with a thick layer of soot.

Just after the boiler was finished burning at noon, the coal truck came over.

Shen Dahe glanced around a lot, frowned and said:

"How did this happen? This strongman doesn't know how to burn a boiler."

There is a small pile of coal next to the boiler, which will be filled in half an hour later. Lin Tieqiang will take out the amount every time it is burned.

Shen Dahe went outside to fetch a basin of water and came back, dusted some water on the ground, and then poured the rest of the water into the small pile of coal!

This scene happened to be watched by Lin Tieqiang who had just entered.

"Oh, brother Dahe, what are you doing! You made the coal wet for me, how can I burn it in a while?"

Lin Tieqiang and others stepped forward, picked up the shovel, and tried to save what was still wet underneath.

He was stopped by Shen Dahe.

"Qiangzi, let me tell you, this coal must be watered. Did you see that large pieces like this have to be broken into pieces so that they can be fully burned, otherwise it will be wasted."

As he spoke, Shen Dahe used a shovel to smash a piece of coal as big as his head into pieces, and patted all the other large pieces with the shovel.
