"Yongcheng, when the braised meat business gets bigger, I'm afraid we'll need a lot of firewood. The firewood we have upstairs in our house is not enough."
Yun Yongcheng: "If we don't have enough firewood, we can buy coal. Coal has a high heat output and is durable. A ton of coal can burn for a long time."
There are hundreds of households in the Shennv Mountain area, and every household burns firewood. Yun Yongcheng suddenly suggested buying coal. Yun Aiguo frowned slightly and felt very worried.
"How much does a ton of coal cost? Where can I buy it?"
Sanfu Cement Plant uses coal. Yun Yongcheng has been working at Sanfu Cement Plant for a while and has more or less some understanding of the price and sales channels of coal.
"A ton of coal costs about thirty yuan. We have a coal mine in Huangshi Town. We can buy it directly from the mine when the time comes."
"Thirty yuan a ton."
When Yun Aiguo heard the price, his eyes widened.
"This ton of coal is equivalent to half a month's salary. It's too expensive, too expensive. There's so much firewood on Shennv Mountain. You can just go up the mountain and chop it."
People born in the 1940s have experienced hunger, cherish food and are thrifty with money.
Yun Yongcheng understood his old man's thoughts. He looked at him and smiled, saying, "Dad, business requires investment to generate income. You can't get something for nothing. There are hundreds of families living in the Shennv Mountain area. Every household has to go up the mountain to chop firewood every year. If we keep chopping firewood like this, sooner or later all the firewood on Shennv Mountain will be cut down. Our family needs a lot of firewood, so let's grit our teeth and buy coal to burn. This will leave some trees on Shennv Mountain for the benefit of future generations."
Although Yun Aiguo was not well educated, he could tell that what his son said made sense.
"I have no objection. Before you take action, you'd better find a chance to discuss it with your mother. Only act after your mother agrees. Otherwise, with your mother's temper, she will definitely twist your ears and scold you."
Yun Yongcheng was not worried at all about how to convince his mother.
I now treat my little girl as the apple of my eye. As long as I let her act cute and coquettishly in front of me, and then let her tell me what she thinks, given how much I love her, she will definitely agree without hesitation.
Two pots of braised meat were served at 7:40 in the evening.
Yun Yongcheng put the braised meat into a bowl and brought it to the table to cool, then put the washed pine cones into the pot to braise.
After finishing all the work, it was already 8:30 in the evening.
After half past eight, the two families sat under the melon rack in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air and eat melons.
Yun Yongcheng waved to the little girl who had changed into a red dress. The little girl slid down from the bench and walked happily to him.
"Mianmian, Dad needs your help."
Yunmian blinked her big eyes: "Dad, go ahead."
Yun Yongcheng: "Dad is now in the braised meat business, and he uses a lot of firewood every day. We're running low on firewood upstairs, so Dad wants to buy some coal. Go tell Grandma."
Yunmian immediately understood her father's concerns.
Dad must be worried that grandma will not agree because she feels stingy with the money.
Yunmian patted her chest and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll take care of this matter. I'll make sure Grandma agrees to let you buy coal."
Yun Yongcheng raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's hair, which had just been washed but not yet completely dry.
"My daughter is awesome."
Yun Mian walked to Mei Cuiping with his calves and held one of Mei Cuiping's arms with both hands.
"Grandma, I want to tell you something."
