Chapter 185

Everyone originally thought that when the temperature dropped to winter, the water situation would be greatly relieved. If nothing else, if you accumulated a little snow water, you could at least take a bath thoroughly. However, the cold wind outside became biting every day, and the temperature was as low as The asphalt road was icy, but there was no snow.

Mu Nan looked at the icicles on the window glass, and there were a small amount of icicles outside, but not a bit of whiteness. He couldn’t help but let out a breath on the window, and while drawing a sticky puppy, he wondered: “Why? It’s not snowing yet, the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero today, right?”

Qin Huai: “Seventeen degrees below zero to twenty degrees below zero, maybe it will snow in two days.”

People wearing community vests and uniforms outside are shoveling ice. Because there is no condition to make grass mats for non-slip mats, they can only manually clean the road surface. However, because of this, there are many more easy jobs. A sum of money is set aside from the monthly garbage removal fee, and someone is responsible for the problem of icy roads in the entire community.

This job is not tiring, but it is more difficult to withstand the cold wind and low temperature. If you don’t have too thick clothes, you can’t apply for this position. It is rare to have this kind of job at the door of the house without going too far away. Several girls from their hospital have applied for the job, even Aunt Yin has gone.

In the end, only Aunt Yin and Tu Juan successfully applied for the job. The working hours are not long. They can go home after cleaning up their divided areas in the morning and evening. It’s only two yuan, no meal included. But even so, there are still many people vying for it, and it is also a popular position.

Mu Nan sighed softly: “It used to be so much snow, people who fell under it were annoying to death, and they couldn’t go anywhere when they were locked in the house, but now it’s annoying even if it doesn’t snow, I see a lot of people on the forum are waiting to melt I washed myself clean with snow water, and said that winter is finally here, and I don’t need to save water anymore, but it still hasn’t snowed yet.”

Mu Nan said again: “But it’s okay if it doesn’t snow for the time being. The weather has been cold these two days. The business of Jianchu’s store has improved a lot. The previous day there were only a dozen or twenty bowls of noodles. Yesterday they sold almost four bowls of noodles. Ten bowls, if it snows, the road will be even more difficult to walk, if it’s a blizzard, then the store will have to be closed, so it’s better to order it later, and don’t let it rain too much, let them open the store for a few more days, more Make some money.”

Qin Huai looked up at Mu Nan from the computer: “If it doesn’t snow in two days, as the temperature gets lower and lower, it might not snow this year.”

Mu Nan immediately looked at him with the expression of what nonsense are you talking about: “It’s so cold and it’s not snowing? How is it possible.”

Qin Huai: “Is Antarctica cold?”

Mu Nan hummed: “It’s cold, of course the polar glaciers are cold.”

Qin Huai: “Then do you know that there is hardly any snow in Antarctica, and the amount of snowfall is less than the rain in the desert.”

Mu Nan felt that his brother had added knowledge points that he didn’t learn in high school, but he was afraid that Qin Huai was trying to fool him, so he didn’t believe it with a hesitant face: “If it doesn’t snow, then the Antarctic is covered with snow. here?”

“Humidity plus cold air condenses. Over the years, it is not covered by the snow in the sky. So if there is no snow at minus 20 degrees now, wait until the temperature drops below minus 30 degrees before it snows. The possibility of that is very low.”

Mu Nan didn’t quite understand why it didn’t snow at minus 20 degrees, and it wouldn’t snow if it got colder, but usually when Qin Huai gave him science popularization seriously, it was mostly true, and his eyes were full of it, as if it was the first day he knew each other The surprise of the world: “Isn’t it the winter that doesn’t snow is particularly cold, but you can’t see any white?”

The low temperature reaches 50 or 60 degrees but there is no snow, so I don’t know whether it is good or not.

Qin Huai: “It’s not without a little white. We live here, so many people live together, cook and wash clothes, heat steam, the humidity caused by the temperature will frost, but it can be seen from the fact that the temperature drops but it doesn’t snow. , Our current environment is indeed very dry.”

It doesn’t have much impact on their lives if it doesn’t snow. At most, traveling in snow may not be too slippery, but now that the ground is frozen, it will really fall to the ground every minute.

Mu Nan didn’t dare to go out. Last time, he went to the yard to see if the well was frozen. As soon as he stepped out of one foot, he slid directly to the side of the well. If it wasn’t for the shed that was blown over by the sandstorm There were still a few skeletons fixed on the ground, and he reached out to grab a handful, and Mu Nan felt that he might tear them apart and splatter blood on the spot.

After being so frightened, even if he went out, he didn’t dare to take long strides casually.

Anyway, the dishes provided by him and Jian Chu’s store can be delivered directly from the garage to Jian Chu’s, and there is no need to go out. The power has not been cut off yet, and the floor heating at home has warmed up after a few days. I wear a fleece jacket every day. Pajamas are so nice to be comfortable at home, it’s better not to go out casually.

It was probably because the room was too warm, Mu Nan saw the rabbit breeding scene directly that day, and it seemed that his rabbits would soon continue to produce rabbit meat again.

As for the chickens, Mu Nan simply put the rooster and the hens together in the same cage. The weather is cold now, and being able to stay at home for the winter is the most suitable for hatching chickens. When there are more and more hens in the future, the eggs that can’t be eaten every day will be sold to Jane. At first, let Jian Chu make marinated eggs or boiled eggs and sell them in the store.

With such a plan, Mu Nan suddenly felt that it was great that their store was open. Before selling these things, they had to find a safe channel. Now, even the mushrooms harvested by Cai’s family don’t find buyers by themselves. Stir-fry the minced mushrooms to taste the noodles.

Because the Cai family grows a lot of potatoes, they sold all the potatoes left by the previous owner, but the soil pots were still there. After some thinking, they planted peppers on one floor, and the other two The soil was once again planted with potatoes.

So from now on, side dishes such as hot and sour potato shreds will be taken from Cai’s family. Aunt Yin’s cooking skills are still very good. She also taught Mu Nan how to pickle and chop peppers. There are no exclusive skills in the tutorial, but the one taught by Aunt Yin is the exclusive secret recipe, which tastes much better.

But Qin Huai is very busy now. Apart from staring at the game, he doesn’t know what he is tossing about. Anyway, he is typing on the computer every day, and Mu Nan can’t understand. Those programs are constantly flashing on the screen. Hurry up. He can’t even see abcd clearly.

So Mu Nan simply gave the chili harvested at home to the Cai family directly, and let the Cai family process it. He only needs to provide spicy cabbage. It is also good to pay some planting costs and pay an electricity bill.

It is probably because the noodle shop they opened is getting better and better, and the number of inspections nearby is also very frequent. It seems to be quite safe, especially in this market where you can buy insurance, which can guarantee your own safety to a large extent. The property is safe, so there are more and more front-end stores in that row. Some of them sell some things from the urban area, and the others are almost all selling food.

The saying that food is the first thing for the people is really engraved in the bones of the Chinese people. Now the general environment is difficult, but the most profitable is to sell food. Although the supply of raw materials is getting more and more expensive, the price of food is not cheap. But there are still many people who are willing to buy.

Because there are more and more shops opening, and the market on the small square is opening stalls every day, so more and more people come to shop. It is estimated that the higher-ups originally planned to plan a shopping mall here, although before The place where the shopping mall was originally built has been rebuilt into a primary school, but the big shopping mall behind is still under construction. By then, these stalls must be organized. When it becomes larger and larger in the future, the development of commerce and trade will definitely be picked up again.

Originally, the opening of more and more shops should become a hot topic, but unfortunately everyone’s attention is still on this weird climate. Half a month into winter, not a single snowflake has fallen, and there are still many pipes on the ground and even on the wall. Even the water station is frozen. It is so cold and there is no snow. The water station is frozen and there is no water. How can people live in these days.

The well in their yard was not working well, but they responded quickly. There were some bricks left when they made the courtyard wall before, and later they bought some specially, and built a small house directly on the well, with a yard of five bricks. For the family members, each family provides a piece of coal every day, and a large iron stove is placed next to the well, and the coal fire is kept burning every day, so that the water can be used.

Because there is still water in the yard, the noodle shop can continue to operate. Even because it is freezing outside, water is difficult in many places, and the business of the noodle shop is better. Some people only need a bowl of clear soup noodles, and give more clear soup and less. For noodles, a family of three can drink a bowl of clear soup for a day, and there is still oil and salt. Although it is expensive, at least it can live.

Seeing the smiling two people who were calculating their calculations there, Mu Nan sat on the floor of Jian Chu’s living room and hugged Niu Niu and laughed too.

Jian Chu handed the account book to Mu Nan: “This is Xiaocai’s money, and this is the money that will be paid back to your brother this month. Take a look, I will transfer it to you if there is no problem.”

Mu Nan glanced at it. He didn’t carefully calculate how much the side dishes cost to make a profit. Anyway, there are only so many that are almost the same, so he nodded: “No problem.”

Jianchu asked him to sign the monthly statement, and then transferred the money to him.

Mu Nan returned the notebook to Jian Chu: “Then how much net income did you earn this month?”

Jian Chu compared the number with Mu Nan, and Mu Nan was pleasantly surprised: “There are so many, it seems that the decision to open the store was right!”

Jian Chu was also happy in his heart. He opened the shop and Yu Zibai went to work. The income of the two can now support a family, but although he is happy, he is not dizzy: “If you can keep it like this for a few months, then this time The cost of opening the store can be recovered, and the profit will come later, but I don’t know how cold it will be in the future of this winter. If there is a blizzard in two days, the store will be closed.”

Mu Nan said: “My brother said that it is very likely that there will be no snow this year. Today it is minus 278 degrees. If there is no snow at this temperature, there will probably be no snow this year.”

Song Jia next to him was suddenly surprised: “No snow? Is it so cold? Impossible.”

Regarding the matter of low temperature but no snow, Mu Nan gave them the knowledge learned from Qin Huai, and Jian Chu’s eyes lit up: “Then it doesn’t snow, as long as we keep shoveling off the ice on the ground, this winter Wouldn’t it be possible to keep the store open?”

Mu Nan shrugged: “I don’t know what will happen when it gets colder and colder, anyway, let’s count as a day.”

They have never experienced this kind of thing, and it is indeed not very good. As Mu Nan said, one day is a day to open, but regarding the store, Jian Chu said to Mu Nan: “I heard that after the mall is completed, the store will be bought out. The situation of the year for rent and sale.”

Mu Nan didn’t understand: “What do you mean?”

Song Jiadao: “It’s just how much money you can buy the right to use for how many years. Compared with monthly rent, it’s cheaper to buy out this way, and others can get back the funds faster to develop other projects. It’s a win-win situation.”

Mu Nan shook his head and said: “No, my brother said, now we need to accumulate more wealth and be prepared to run away at any time. This kind of real estate industry can not be tossed without tossing.”

These words stunned the two of them: “What do you mean? Why run away?”

Qin Huai discussed this matter with Mu Nan, and gave them a little something to prepare them mentally.

“My brother said that the glaciers may be melting at an accelerated rate. Maybe in a few years, our place will become a vast ocean.”
