Fangyuan did not go back. He planned to wait for these shops to open and try to see if he could buy something. He was in urgent need of something that could hold water.
In the past, you could get water at any time, but now you can't. Now you have to cut open the ice to get water, which will be very difficult.
If you dig it once, you will at least get enough water for several days!
It’s not like Fangyuan has never thought about using melted snow water, but washing your face with melted snow water is enough. As for eating, forget it.
You must know that snow is very dirty. Snow is formed when water vapor and microorganisms meet and the air reaches zero degrees.
And when it falls, it will be contaminated with a lot of dust, so it is absolutely forbidden to eat it. If Fangyuan was from this era, he would probably eat it, but he is not.
Of course, this is not absolute. This is only talking about the first few snows, and the snow that falls after that will still be very clean.
But this is the first snow this year! So you definitely can’t eat it.
A stranger appeared, and the children who were going to school only glanced at him. This may be because there was going to be class soon.
Fangyuan was not prepared to pay any attention to them, because he knew that in the eyes of these children, he was just a little beggar.
However, Fangyuan still envied them, not that they were able to go to school, but that they had a family. If he had a family, he wouldn't need to worry about it every day like now.
As for going to school, Fangyuan really hasn't thought about it. Anyway, he graduated from college in his previous life. To be honest, he really doesn't want to do it all over again.
After all the students entered the school, the shops began to open one after another, and Fangyuan came to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Supply and marketing cooperatives are all public-owned. No matter where they are opened, they must be public-owned, otherwise they will not even have channels to purchase goods.
"Little beggar, go out, there is nothing to eat here." As soon as Fangyuan came in, a middle-aged woman said to him.
"I'm not..."
Just when Fangyuan wanted to say that he was not a beggar, the middle-aged woman had already walked up to him and stabbed him with the feather duster in her hand, probably because she was afraid of getting her hands dirty.
"Fourth Aunt, don't be like this, just let him out." A young girl of 17 or 18 years old came over and stopped the middle-aged woman and said.
There were three people in the supply and marketing cooperative. In addition to the young girl and the middle-aged woman, there was also a middle-aged man. From beginning to end, the middle-aged man did not raise his head.
"You!" The middle-aged woman looked at the young girl and shook her head.
After the middle-aged woman left, the young girl squatted down and said to Yuan Yuan: "Child, we are a supply and marketing cooperative here. If you are hungry, go to the street snack bar."
After finishing speaking, the young girl thought for a while, gritted her teeth, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it, took out a ticket, and took out five cents and handed it to Fangyuan.
"If they don't give it to you, give it to them."
Fangyuan didn't pick it up, but he saw that the ticket was a 20-tael food stamp.
Fangyuan had a good impression of this kind-hearted young girl, so he shook his head and said: "Sister, I'm not begging for food, I'm here to buy things."
"Ah!" The young girl looked at Fang Yuan in surprise and said quickly: "I'm sorry! I... I don't know..."
Fangyuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
"What do you want to buy?" the girl quickly wrapped up the money and food stamps and put them in her pocket before asking.
"I want to buy a bucket."
"Buy a bucket?" The girl looked at Fangyuan to make sure that he was really not a beggar.
Because who is going to buy a bucket if he is a beggar? He was probably asked by the adults at home to buy it. As for him, he has never seen Fangyuan. The woolen spinning factory alone has thousands of employees and even more family members.
And there are often people transferred from the main factory. She thinks that Fangyuan must have been transferred from the main factory with the adults, so she doesn't know them.
Also, although Fangyuan's clothes are very tattered (these are torn with holes, otherwise there wouldn't be so many patches), they are very clean, even cleaner than those worn by most children here in the woolen mill. p>
What’s more, Fangyuan’s face is very clean, and if she is a beggar, how can she wash her face so cleanly?
"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.
"I'm sorry, what kind of bucket do you want?" The young girl blushed, probably because she regarded Fangyuan as a beggar.
"Any bucket will do, as long as it can hold water."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the girl glanced at Fangyuan's thin body, took a plastic bucket from inside and said, "Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay!" Fangyuan nodded and asked, "How much?"
"One cent, plus a bucket ticket."
"Bucket ticket?" There is a black line on one end of the square. It doesn't matter if you need a ticket for anything else, but a plastic bucket actually needs a ticket.
"Uh! Don't you have a ticket?" the girl asked.
Fangyuan quickly shook his head and said, "No, can I give you more money?"
Fangyuan is not short of money, but he is short of tickets. In this era where tickets are needed for everything, sometimes money is really of no use.
"No." The girl shook her head, smiled and said to Yuan Yuan, "Then just buy a tin bucket."
"Tin bucket? Don't you need a ticket for the tin bucket?" Fang Yuan looked at the girl in surprise and asked.
"No need, but expensive."
"It doesn't matter."
Come to think of it! Fangyuan went to the city to buy pots, but the kitchen knives seemed to have no tickets, and the things made of iron didn't seem to be planned products.
"Wait a minute." The girl quickly went in, took out a tin bucket, and said to Yuan Yuan, "Do you think this is okay?"
"Yes! Okay." Fangyuan nodded quickly.
This tin bucket was much larger than the plastic bucket just now. The girl probably gave him the plastic bucket because she thought Fangyuan was thin, but she didn't expect that Fangyuan didn't have a ticket.
"This costs two cents."
"Sister, here you go." Fangyuan quickly took out two cents and handed it over.
The girl took the money, rubbed Fangyuan's head, handed the money to the middle-aged man at the counter and said, "Director, keep accounts."
"Yeah!" The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly.
When the girl turned around and saw that Fangyuan hadn't left yet, she let out a sigh and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Sister, what else do you have here that doesn't require a ticket?"
"Uh! Why do you ask this?"
Hearing the girl ask this, Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "Sister, I want to know whether I need to get a ticket next time I come to buy something."
"Hahaha! So that's it! Let me tell you! Except for iron products, everything else requires a vote."
"Ah!"
Originally, Fangyuan was thinking of buying some things that didn’t require tickets, but now it seems that’s impossible.
"Thank you sister, I understand."
"Well! Go back quickly." The girl smiled at Fang Yuan.
To be honest, the girl is not very beautiful, at least in Fangyuan's opinion, but this girl has a kind of spiritual beauty that makes people feel comfortable.
"Yeah!" Fangyuan nodded, and then came out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't buy anything else, it was good to buy a tin bucket. At least it solved a big problem.
After returning, Fangyuan went into the vegetable cellar and took out an ax and a lunch box. Then he came to the reed marsh and peeled off the snow on top to reveal the ice underneath.
After a few blows with the ax, a hole was made in the ice. The ice has just frozen now, and it is not particularly cold yet. The ice is still relatively thin, and it will not be so easy to break in after a while.
Afraid of freezing again soon, Fangyuan quickly filled the bucket with water from his lunch box, and soon filled a bucket full. This bucket was quite a lot, weighing at least thirty or forty kilograms.
If it was half a month ago, Fangyuan would probably not be able to lift it at all, but during this period of time, Fangyuan eats well, sleeps well every day, and his body becomes much stronger.
So there is no problem in lifting the forty pounds slowly. Besides, it only needs to be carried to the hut, because he will have something to do when he gets to the hut.
The total distance was only about ten meters, and it took Fangyuan four or five minutes to lift the bucket into the hut, which also made Fangyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
Forty pounds is really not something he can lift at his age. Although he can lift it, it can only be lifted. Basically, he takes a step, pauses, and then lifts it again.
After entering the hut, Fangyuan rummaged in a corner and found something under the reed flowers.
This is a thick wire and a wheel. The wheel is made of wood. Fangyuan made it by himself. It is actually a pulley.
There are no bearings in Fangyuan, so I can only make some simple ones. I originally thought of using them when carrying heavy things in the future, but I didn't expect that they would come in handy so quickly.
Tie the pulley to some wooden sticks above the entrance of the vegetable cellar, then pass the rope through the pulley and tie it to the handle of the iron bucket.
First, he opened the entrance to the vegetable cellar, then pulled the rope, and the bucket quickly left the ground, just above the entrance to the vegetable cellar. Then he slowly lowered the rope, and soon the bucket fell to the ground.
After the iron bucket landed, Fangyuan took off the pulley, then took it into the vegetable cellar.
The inside of the vegetable cellar and the outside were two completely different worlds. It was freezing and snowy outside, but warm as spring inside. Fangyuan quickly took off his cotton-padded clothes and put on his coat again.
In the vegetable cellar, you don’t need to wear cotton-padded clothes at all, just a sweater at most, and this is without burning a fire.
The vegetable cellar now is completely different from when Fangyuan first came here. Not only is the space inside much larger, but it also looks neater.
The area is larger, but the space for movement in the surrounding area is smaller. There is no way, because most of the area has been filled with firewood.
In order to get these firewood, Fangyuan was exhausted and his hands were soaked several times, but now it seems that everything was worth it, because this firewood is enough for Fangyuan to burn until the beginning of next spring.
It was still early before noon, so Fangyuan walked to a shelf, got on it, and started doing sit-ups.
Fangyuan's sit-ups are different from others. Others are lying flat, but he hangs his legs on the rack with his head down. When he gets up, his head must be above his knees.
