Chapter 728 Coal poisoning?
Chapter 728 Coal poisoning?
Rice is in short supply now, so the staple food everyone eats is really just whole grains, which are very rough and hard. You may have to boil them for an entire afternoon before they become too soft.
This kind of staple food is definitely a torture for the three little ones.
It’s not that Ye Shu is unwilling to feed the children this kind of absolutely coarse grain, but he is worried that the children are too young and cannot manage their facial expressions, and their likes or dislikes will all show on their faces.
If this is true, it will easily arouse suspicion from others.
Why does your child dislike it so much? Don’t you usually eat this kind of coarse grains at home?
Secondly, it is also easy to cause bad influences. After all, there will be four children at that time, and it is very easy for children to follow the trend.
Once this child takes the lead, the other children will follow suit.
So, in order to avoid trouble, Ye Shu simply brought four or five big sweet potatoes and steamed them directly.
In this way, each child only needs to eat one sweet potato, plus some mixed flour steamed buns and some vegetables to be full.
Ye Shu gave the food to Mrs. Jin to keep away. She also brought some fish. They had agreed during the day that tonight's fish banquet would be featuring the fish from Ye Shu's family.
Because her family has the most fish.
When she suggested this, Sister Jin and the others all laughed: "Okay! We won't argue with you!"
So now he said, "I have already done some basic processing on the fish. You can stew it after some more processing."
Because there were four families having a dinner together, there would definitely be a lot of food, so the pots and stoves in Mrs. Jin's house were not enough.
Zhuang Jingjing and Mrs. Tang both went home and brought their own stoves, then they lit several pots at the same time and everyone cooked together in a lively atmosphere.
Not only was the atmosphere lively, but the temperature in the room also began to gradually rise.
Ye Shu suddenly smelled a strange smell, which was the smell of burning coal.
She didn't take it seriously at first. She just looked up at the coal stove and didn't think much about it.
But at this moment, Guaiguai suddenly lifted the door curtain, and a cold wind blew in from outside, which made Ye Shu shiver and wake up instantly.
not good!
The space in the house is small, a lot of coal is burned, and the air is not circulating, which can easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning!
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, so even if her sense of smell is very keen, she can't detect it!
But she just asked about the smell of coal, wasn't this a warning to her?
So she immediately walked to the door and opened it a crack.
Guaiguai was peeking at the door stealthily when suddenly the door curtain in her hand was pulled away. She subconsciously looked up and saw her mother, and her little body shuddered with fright.
She immediately stood up straight, looking like a good girl: "Mom! I don't want to go out to play!"
Because it was already dark outside, the adults were all in the house. They were worried that it was unsafe for the children to play in the yard, so they kept them all at home.
Ye Shu: "Yeah, I know. You guys go to the inner room and don't come out. Mommy will lift the curtain to let us get some fresh air. It's too stuffy and uncomfortable."
Guaiguai actually wanted to sneak out to make a snowman. She felt guilty, so she didn't dare to disobey her mother. She stuck out her tongue and obediently led the other children into the inner room.
It is obvious that among these children, except for Sanbaoer, Sisi and Xiaowu, she is the youngest.
But she just has the ability to mobilize all the other children!
Ye Shu lifted the door curtain, and gusts of cold wind blew in.
She was shivering from the cold, so she simply used a stool to support herself and put on her cotton jacket.
The others were surprised to see her like this: "What are you doing? Are you really so bored? We don't feel that way!"
"Yes, it's very cold once the curtain is opened."
While buttoning his shirt, Ye Shu looked up to find the vent in Jin's house and said:
"It's cold! But there are too many coal stoves in the house now, and there's no ventilation. It's easy to get poisoned!"
In recent years, some people have indeed been poisoned by burning coal.
As more and more such cases occurred, gradually, the radio began to promote the correct use of coal stoves.
When Mrs. Jin heard this, she didn't dare to be careless. She pointed to the vent on the window and said, "Hey, this is the vent. I see it's not blocked!"
Ye Shu: "That's no use. The coal is burning too fast. All we can do is open the windows or lift the door curtains."
"Everyone, please be patient and put on some clothes quickly. Safety is the most important thing."
Yep!
Safety first!
Besides, there were many of them and many coal stoves, and every pot was filled with steaming hot dishes, so if they opened the door curtains in time and put on their clothes, they wouldn't be too cold.
But this has a disadvantage. The fragrance in the room will float outside without any cover or protection.
Everyone knew that Courtyard No. 2 was having a fish feast, but they still couldn't help but be jealous and greedy!
"You bastard, you're not celebrating the New Year, and you're eating so well. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"How can this not be extravagance? Look, on this whole street, is there any other courtyard as extravagant as theirs?"
"Eat fish, eat fish, don't worry about getting a fish bone stuck in your throat! Humph!"
……
There were footsteps in the yard. The three men in the backyard were coming back from get off work one after another.
Huo Yiting and Huo Yisheng were busy with important matters, so they stayed in the dormitory every few days and didn't come back.
But the three in the backyard still go to get off work and come home on time.
They didn't come back together. In short, every time one of them came back, one of them would stop, look around, and think that he had walked into the wrong gate.
What’s going on? Why does the yard smell so good today?
This food is dozens or even hundreds of times better than the canteen in their army!
The reactions of several people after returning home were also different.
As soon as Lao Peng entered the door, he could smell the scent of fish. There was the light and fresh fragrance of fish soup, as well as the mellow and delicious taste of braised food.
So as soon as he entered the door, he asked Meng Mingzhen: "Is there any fish for sale at the farmers' market today? Did you buy any?"
He remembered that his wife loved eating fish.
Meng Mingzhen shook her head.
Old Peng was a little disappointed and comforted his wife: "It's okay, I will definitely be able to buy it another day."
As soon as Old Zhang entered the room, he asked Zhao Jinhua, "What happened just now? Is it some important day? Why are you all gathered in one room, and why are you cooking fish?"
The fragrance is so overbearing!
It made the glutton in his stomach growl!
Zhao Jinhua recounted what happened in the front yard today, then emphasized, "I've also registered with the cycling team. They said they'll have the fish delivered to my door in a couple of days."
Lao Zhang remained noncommittal: "The money will be deducted from my salary anyway, right?"
Zhao Jinhua nodded.
Lao Zhang: "That's fine, if you want to eat, we can eat. My salary is more than enough for a few meals of fish!"
