Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 150
After the meal, Zhang Hao saw that the eldest sister's family was in high spirits, so he led them to visit the "big manor".

"This is Kevin and Carl's room. They share a bedroom, and Emma lives next door. The three of them have gone to practice and usually come back on weekends."

"practice?"

"Anyway, being idle at home is idle, and going out to exercise is not bad." Zhang Hao explained casually, "There is a limit to the daily power supply at home. In order to save electricity, you, Xiaofan, live with Kevin and the others. Emma lives together."

"no problem."

Cao Fan and Cao Yan replied at the same time.

Zhang Hao then looked at his eldest niece: "Xiao Yan, do you want to do an internship too?"

"Can I?"

Cao Yan was a little moved.

Seriously, she was going crazy at home.

"Of course, you know what your second aunt is capable of. She will take you and Emma with her."

Zhang Hao encouraged with a smile.

Cao Yan immediately looked at her parents. This matter must be approved by her parents.

Zhang Jiahui nodded: "Go ahead, it's good to learn more."

They are all from their own company, and the second sister is helping to look after them. The couple have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, when will I start working?"

Cao Yan immediately beamed with joy.

"Next Monday, take a few days off first."

Zhang Hao thought for a while and replied.

Next, a group of people came to the vegetable garden.

Looking at the green garden, Zhang Jiahui couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaohao, this garden is really nice. With it, you can eat fresh vegetables all year round."

"It's good, but it's too much trouble to take care of it. You have to add coal and water on time every day. Once the boiler stops for half a day, all the vegetables will freeze to death."

"Do you have enough coal here?"

"It's enough. Your brother bought tons of coal in one go before, and it can be burned for more than ten years without any problem."

Li Dajuan answered with help.

Zhang Hao immediately added: "It doesn't matter if the coal is burned out, coal tickets can be bought on the market, at worst it costs more."

"Coal ticket? What is a coal ticket?"

Zhang Jiahui asked curiously.

Laoshan has central heating, and there is a shortage of coal in the first place. There is no extra coal to distribute to the people. The big guys rely on firewood for cooking.

"Coal tickets are used to buy coal, which is similar to food stamps. According to Huicheng's standard, the average family can buy more than 100 catties a month. Whether it is for heating or cooking, it is very convenient."

Li Dajuan explained patiently.

"so good?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "Huicheng is an ice-free port. It is very convenient to transport coal from Australia, and the city has made sufficient preparations in advance, so there is no shortage of coal for the time being."

"It's no wonder so many people choose to go south. It turns out that the living conditions in the south are so good. Let alone the coal tickets in my hometown, even the food tickets are only two-thirds of those in Huicheng. The gap is too big."

"Actually, it's not as good as you said, and it's not good now. In the past, each person was given catties of rice tickets every month. This month, it has reduced by catties. If you reduce it, you will be hungry."

Li Dajuan couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Mom, although the rice has decreased, the supply of vegetables has increased. In fact, the difference is not much."

Zhang Hao quickly added.

"What can you do with that little vegetable? It's not enough to fit between your teeth." Li Dajuan curled her lips subconsciously.

"It's better than nothing. The city is doing a lot of construction work, and the supply of vegetables will become more and more abundant in the future."

Zhang Hao tried to persuade.

Li Dajuan waved her hand: "Forget it, our family doesn't live on those things. With this skill, it's better to grow some fruits and vegetables."

After visiting the vegetable garden, everyone came to the place where the animals were kept.

Cao Fan looked at the luxurious housing in front of him, and couldn't help saying: "Uncle, the conditions here are too good, right? It's almost as good as a star hotel."

"Yeah, these animals really enjoy themselves. Not to mention listening to classical music, they even have massage equipment."

Cao Yan quickly agreed.

"It is a last resort to do this." Zhang Hao sighed, and immediately explained: "Before, all these animals were depressed and plagued by disease, and your grandmother was in a hurry. Later, I consulted experts in breeding to solve the problem."

"How to solve it?"

Zhang Jiahui asked curiously.

"According to experts, most of these animals suffered from depression because they couldn't see the sun. In the end, referring to the breeding method of wagyu cattle, the pens were fully upgraded and remodeled, and this is how they look like now."

"Does it work?"

"The effect is obvious. At least two cases have appeared this month, which is % to % less than last month, which shows that our thinking is correct."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is it worth it?"

Zhang Jiahui expressed doubts.

Zhang Hao reached out and touched the cow in front of him: "Of course it's worth it. Now there is no meat on the market. Our family depends on them for our daily needs."

"Tsk tsk, this is too extravagant."

Zhang Jiahui muttered softly.

"Let's be extravagant, it's better than not having meat. I don't want to know the taste of meat in March."

……

At the end of the visit, Zhang Hao was called over by the village chief Fan, and the heating company finally repaired it in Shawei Village, so that he would no longer have to suffer from the cold this winter.

"Manager Han, in a situation like ours, can we turn on the heating?"

"Villas are fine, but glass houses are not. It doesn't meet the regulations, and commercial use is strictly prohibited."

"Isn't it okay to spend more money?"

Zhang Hao tentatively said.

If the vegetable garden can also be heated, it can save a lot of trouble.

Manager Han shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, it's not that I'm unaccommodating. To tell you the truth, even if your glass room is heated, it still can't meet the temperature standard."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly.

"Hey, according to the unified regulations of the superior department, the heating temperature of our company is only seven or eight degrees at most, which can't meet the requirements of the glass room at all."

"So low?"

"There is no way. The political situation in Australia has been a bit unstable recently. The coal supply may be cut off one day. We can save a little bit so that there will be no coal available in the future."

Manager Han explained in a low voice.

Zhang Hao suddenly understood: "Okay, if this is the case, then our house will not be heated for the time being, and it will save us from having to break ground again."

"Zhang Dong, thank you for your understanding."

"It's easy to say, and I would like to ask, when will the heating be turned on this year?"

"As expected, it will start in September, and September st is the start time. The school has been closed for a whole year, and the children's studies cannot be delayed any longer."

"understood."

Zhang Hao nodded.

After sending off Manager Han, Village Chief Fan cut to the chase: "Old Zhang, I want to install a separate boiler in the school. The temperature of seven or eight degrees is too low. It will definitely freeze the children."

"That's exactly what I mean." Zhang Hao immediately responded, "Well, let me figure out a way for the boiler. As for the coal, each household will contribute a little."

This move is also to take care of their own sons.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
