Chapter 351

When they left the research institute, Shi Qinghuan asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, where should we buy coal?"

"A small coal mine two kilometers away, there is coal to sell to us."

"Do you want to prove it?"

"Of course, but I've already opened it for you, so you just need to bring the money."

Shi Qinghuan nodded after listening to Wang Ailan's words, and then she thought that there was no place to store coal at home, so she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, where do we store the coal after we buy it?"

"Have you noticed the row of low houses behind our building?"

"noticed."

"That's where each household stacks coal, but the houses are limited, so two or three families have always shared a house.

And Fusheng has always shared the same room with my family, so you can buy the coal and put it in the same room as my family's coal. "

"I see, is the price of coal expensive?"

"Three cents a catty, it's not expensive, and it's not cheap."

"Then how much coal do we need to buy in one winter?"

"My family consumes about [-] to [-] catties in a winter. Fusheng bought [-] catties before, but he doesn't spend much time at home, so it's enough.

But I suggest you buy more, anyway, coal will be used all year round, so even if you buy too much, it’s okay, and it won’t go bad if left unattended. "

After Shi Qinghuan heard Wang Ailan's words, she thought that she now uses coal for cooking every day, and there is not much coal left in the kitchen, which is only about 30 to [-] yuan.

As for the coal in the low house, there must not be much, otherwise Wang Ailan would not have reminded her.

So she said to Wang Ailan: "Then I will buy a thousand catties like you. Just like you said, it won't spoil if left alone. It's better to buy more than less."

"Then let's hurry up and try to get the coal into the low house before dark."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, she and Wang Ailan quickened their pace and walked towards the coal selling place.

After more than 20 minutes, Shi Qinghuan and Wang Ailan came to the place where the coal was sold, and then they saw that someone was already buying coal there, so they could only stand aside and watch those people buy coal.

Fortunately, they didn't buy much coal, so it was their turn after a while, so Wang Ailan walked up to the person in charge of the coal mine and said, "We each want a thousand catties of coal."

"so much?"

"Not much, it will take one winter."

"That's really not much, give me the proof of purchase."

After Wang Ailan heard what the person in charge of the coal mine said, she took out the voucher from her pocket and handed it to him. After he confirmed that there was no problem with the voucher, she handed him the money for buying coal.

When Shi Qinghuan saw that Wang Ailan had given the money, she quickly took out 30 yuan from her bag and handed it to the person in charge of the coal mine. Then she saw the person in charge of the coal mine leave with the money note.

So she asked Wang Ailan in a low voice: "Aunt Wang, where is our coal? Why did he leave without giving us coal?"

"He went to help us order coal and load it into the car, otherwise how would the two of us get the coal back."

"Is it free to buy coal?"

"If the quantity is large, it will be free, but like those people just now, if you only buy one hundred catties, you will not be free."

"So that's the case, shall we take their car back later?"

"Yes, but after they help us transport the coal back to the family courtyard, we have to give them some errand fees. It's not much, just two yuan, one yuan for each of us."

"it is good."
