Chapter 450 Various Snow Shovel
The snow was still heavy, which was a bit beyond everyone's expectations.
I thought it hadn’t snowed for such a long time, so even if it did snow, it would only be light snow.
But what I didn't expect was that it snowed heavily as soon as we arrived.
The authorities once again issued a recruitment notice, and the job content includes shoveling and transporting snow.
Because the weather is too cold, continuous snow shoveling may not be sustainable, so each person works 4 hours a day and is given 10 points.
As for where to transport the snow?
First fill all the wells dug before with snow. If it doesn’t snow one day, the snow will be life-saving water.
After filling the wells, they filled the lakes and then filled and compacted all the dried-up lakes and rivers, big and small, in Jiangcheng with snow.
The volume of snow is a bit large, so if you want to store more snow, you can only press it into ice cubes or melt it into water and then freeze it into ice.
The simplest operation is to press it into blocks directly, which can be done by making some wooden frames.
The people hired by the government were only responsible for clearing the snow from the main road so that it could be used for traffic.
As for the doorstep and roof of your house, you need to clean it yourself.
If you don’t want to clean up, you can use the points to hire someone to help you clean up.
Han Ying's building has five floors in total, and the roof of the fifth floor is covered with a color steel awning as a roof.
So when the snow falls, it can only land on the awning.
In summer, this awning can block the sun, but it is a bit dangerous on such a snowy day.
The snow is so heavy that if it is not cleared, the roof will collapse in a few days.
"Don't worry. Look, there are two skylights on the left and right of the awning. Open the skylights, put a ladder up there, and use tools to push the snow off."
Hearing Han Ying's concerns, Lu Yuan took her directly to the 5th floor.
Han Ying looked in the direction of Lu Yuan's finger, and indeed saw that the two color steel plates in those two places were somewhat different.
"If the snow is too thick, will the skylight be unable to open?"
Han Ying also noticed that the two color steel plates on the skylight were pushed outwards.
If the snow outside is too thick, I'm afraid I won't be able to push it out.
"It's only been a short while since the snow started falling, and we can still push it now."
Lu Yuan put up the ladder under the fence, climbed up and pushed the skylight out. The snow was not very thick at the moment, so it could still be pushed out.
Worried that the skylight wouldn't be able to be opened if the snow was thick enough as Han Ying had said, Lu Yuan simply left the skylight open.
Then put a large piece of plastic sheet under the skylight, and the snow falling from the skylight will fall on the plastic sheet.
When they want to clear the snow, they can collect the snow on the plastic sheet into the space.
However, the roof is large and two hands certainly cannot reach much snow.
Han Ying knew that it would snow if it was extremely cold, so she prepared snow shoveling tools.
But the tools she prepared were relatively short and handy, and none of these could be used to remove snow from the roof.
So after going downstairs, Lu Yuan took out the two retractable high-altitude window-cleaning tools that Han Ying had bought before.
Remove the cleaning head at the front end used to clean the windows, and then install a wooden board fixed with a tripod.
Position the board at a slight angle so that it doesn't take too much effort to push the snow out from the ladder.
It's difficult to travel in the snow, so the mall is temporarily closed until the road is cleared.
However, you can still purchase online using your mobile phone, and add some points to have the items delivered by drone.
The mall driver who came every two days also called Han Ying and said that he could not come to pick up the new tomatoes these days.
You can cut the tomatoes into pieces and freeze them outside, and then come back after the road is clear again.
The mall doesn't need to give it for the time being, so there are a lot of left over every day.
Even Wu Tingfang's retail sales were suspended these days, so Han Ying picked the tomatoes and put them directly into the space.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, when the two families on the second floor were having breakfast, Han Ying and Lu Yuan had already arrived on the fifth floor.
First, collect the two piles of snow on the ground into the space, and then put the ladder up.
Two people climbed up to the skylight on one side and took out the snow removal tools prepared by Lu Yuan.
Han Ying collected the snow near her into the space, and then used the snow removal tool to push the snow out little by little.
It took them nearly half an hour to push all the snow off the roof.
Before going down, Han Ying took out a large piece of plastic sheet and spread it around the skylight.
Put a piece of plastic sheet underneath so that the snow that falls on it can be cleaner.
If you come to remove the snow tomorrow, you can put the snow together with the plastic film into the space.
When you have time, press the snow into ice cubes so you can use them when it's extremely hot in the future.
Seeing Han Ying laying plastic film, Lu Yuan guessed her plan, so he took out a large piece and laid it on his side.
She had already made an agreement with Lei Minghu and the others downstairs. She and Lu Yuan would push the snow down from upstairs first, and then clean up the snow in the yard together.
The snow is too heavy, so the snow in the yard must be cleared, otherwise everyone may not be able to go out in a few days.
Snow shoveling is a big project, so Han Ying and Lu Yuan could only collect part of the snow on the roof into the space.
But it's only part of it.
The shoveled snow needs to be transported to nearby rivers and lakes, which also takes a lot of time.
When several people were shoveling snow in the yard, there was a clanging sound coming from the gate of the wall.
At first everyone thought it was a wind blade blowing over, so no one turned back to look.
"You shovel snow?"
After knocking a few times with a wooden board and finding no one responded, the person standing outside simply spoke up.
Hearing the sound, everyone turned around and found a man in soft armor standing outside the gate.
This set of soft armor is sold in the official store for 100,000 points per set.
It seems that this is a rich man.
Han Ying had previously exchanged corn seeds for four sets from the base. Each family received one set, and she and Lu Yuan each received one set.
Of course, she and Lu Yuan didn't actually need to wear this bulky soft armor, because their constant temperature clothing could effectively protect against wind blade attacks.
But others didn't know, so when Lei Minghu and the others asked about it when they first went out, Han Ying said that they wore the soft armor inside their winter clothes.
But in fact, Han Ying and Lu Yuan didn't wear that set of soft armor at all.
"Um, what's up?"
Lei Minghu was the biggest man in the group, and he was wearing a protective suit he had made himself out of wooden boards, so he looked like a small mountain when he walked to the gate.
Lei Minghu has made many types of protective clothing, including those made of wood, steel bars, and iron wire.
Now they are just shoveling snow in the yard, which is not very dangerous, so they are wearing protective clothing made of wooden boards.
