Chapter 50 (1/2)
They seem to put down the burden in their hearts and continue to be busy.
Guo Xiang began to tidy up his things. The coal stove was placed under the outside window. A wooden shelf was placed in the window, and dishes and condiments were placed on it, so that he could get the things inside when cooking.
Sweet potatoes, sour beans and other things brought from home are placed under the wooden frame.
Gu Zhennan adjusted some cement and set up an anti water tank under the shower curtain, so that it won't flow everywhere when taking a shower.
He also dug a small hole in the corner of the wall and stopped it with an iron net, which can not only prevent mice from running in, but also drain out.
Guo Xiang sighed when he saw it. Gu Zhennan is really capable. How can he do anything?
”Drink some water!” Seeing that Gu Zhennan was busy, Guo Xiang handed over a towel and a cool white flower.
Gu Zhennan looked at her, wiped his sweat with a towel, and drank up a glass of water.
”Well done!” Guo Xiang praised that in the future, you can take a bath in the house every day, and you don't have to worry about getting water.
Gu Zhennan sipped his mouth, so I don't have to change my pants in the bathroom in the future.
If only it could be changed into a bathroom. Alas, unfortunately, the conditions are limited. Let's do it first.
After all this, Guo Xiang is ready to deal with the wild ducks he beat in the morning and cook them in the evening. He hasn't finished a duck leg at noon. He's so greedy.
But looking at the ducks, she was worried again. No, the ducks bought in the supermarket in the previous life were handled well. After plucking, in addition to the internal organs, some can even cut them for you.
And this coal stove. I don't know how to use it.
”Gu Zhennan, come out.” Guo Xiang shouted.
Gu Zhennan walked out of the door. Guo Xiang pointed to the coal stove, ”I can't use this.”
”I'll come!” Gu Zhennan said briefly.
First put some newspapers in the coal stove, and then put the honeycomb briquette in with iron tongs. There is a fire under the coal stove, lit a pine firewood and put it in. The newspaper burns up. The coal on it turns red and spreads slowly, burning more and more.
So it was burned like this? Guo Xiang was surprised. It was her first time to use a coal stove.
However, it doesn't taste very good, because honeycomb briquette is not as pure as gas. It doesn't burn fully. There is a smell of soot, which is actually carbon monoxide. If you smell too much, you will feel dizzy.
Guo Xiang misses the gas stove in his previous life. Just twist it.
Otherwise, it's OK to have an induction cooker. There's nothing now. It's really inconvenient.
Gu Zhennan filled the pot with water, put it on the coal stove and covered it. ”When the water boils, you can pour it out to deal with the duck.”
After thinking that Guo Xiang might not have done it, he said, ”after the water boils, you tell me not to move first, so as not to burn your hand.”
Guo Xiang blushed, ”am I useless?”
So how can you be a good daughter-in-law?
”You just haven't done it. You'll be fine in the future.” Gu Zhennan said.
Guo Xiang sipped his mouth. Is there any future?
”When you don't need a fire, use this cover to cover the fire port below, so that the fire will go out.” Gu Zhennan said, pointing to the fire under the coal stove.
”Oh!” Guo Xiang nodded. She thought she was going to take out the honeycomb briquette.
”If you burn the water and don't want to cool it down, if you want to warm it there, don't seal the cover completely, leave a little bit, so you can keep the fire low and the water won't get cold.” Gu Zhennan said again, ”when it's cooler, I'll take a hot bath, so I can keep the water temperature.”
Guo Xiang nodded. It seemed that the simple coal stove was very useful.
In fact, you can also draw boiled water in the canteen, but they are supplied regularly. If you miss your own home, there is still hot water available, which must be more convenient.
You can take a bath in the bathhouse in winter. It's warmer there.
