Chapter 404: Big Belly Stove for Heating
Winter is coming and the weather is getting colder. Guoguo and Zhengzheng both put on thick cotton clothes.
But the room was still freezing cold.
Mrs. Lin kept changing the charcoal basin, but the two children's faces were still red from the cold.
Ji Xiaobei sent Zheng Guo several more batches of goods.
Zheng Guo has signed contracts with several companies for long-term supply.
After the encounter with the robbers, Zhang Hong was seriously injured and could only do some document sorting work in the office. When winter came, his injured leg would hurt excruciatingly.
He received a large refund and left the police station.
While taking care of his health, he also helped Zheng Guo manage the boxing gym.
Ji Xiaobei provides Zheng Guo with retro clothing, retro jewelry, various antiques, etc.
Zheng Guo has requirements when it comes to antiques. She doesn't want those that are too expensive or too precious. It's not always possible for her to donate cultural relics every other day.
She was afraid of causing trouble.
She even thought about opening a small museum of her own and letting children visit for free to pass on historical culture and benefit future generations.
However, her financial situation does not allow it. Once she is rich enough, she will definitely open a private museum.
Zheng Guo and Xiao Cai often travel to southern companies to negotiate business, including clothing companies, jewelry companies, and antique companies.
Zheng Guo is a master negotiator and often gets the deal while Xiao Cai is stunned.
However, Zhang Hong’s leg condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and the pain was so severe that he couldn’t sleep well all night.
Zheng Guo wrote a letter to Ji Xiaobei, asking her to ask the doctor if he had any ointment or something and bring some to Officer Zhang.
Ji Xiaobei thought of Huang Po, who knew acupuncture.
A while ago, she asked Zheng Guo to get books such as the Complete Collection of Ancient Medical Cases, Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Essentials of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, and Studies on Constellations and Weather.
Fu Jichang has already prepared the medical practice documents for Huang Po.
But Huang Po said that it was not the right time now and she should wait until she finished studying these books.
She now lives with Lian Feng in He Ye's yard, studying medical theories all night long.
She didn't recognize many of the characters and only looked at the pictures.
She couldn't understand, so she took it out on Lian Feng. Lian Feng couldn't bear it any longer, so he went to ask Ji Xiaobei for help.
"Miss Ji, can you teach me how to read? These foreign characters have only a few strokes and look like ghostly scrawls, but I don't recognize any of them. My godmother can't understand them and scolds me every day. If you don't teach me, I'll be dead, wuwuwuwu..."
Lian Feng was crying so hard.
Ji Xiaobei: It's really hard for this child. He has suffered so much to learn medicine from Grandma Huang.
Ji Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "That's easy! Wait for me to get you a book!"
A few days later, Lian Feng got a comparison book of ancient Chinese and simplified Chinese characters.
Lian Feng's eyes widened in shock. There was actually such a magical book in the world. He thanked Ji Xiaobei profusely.
He studied all night long and soon finished reading the book.
I was able to read to Huang Po by guessing.
Ji Xiaobei told Huang Po about Zhang Hong's leg disease.
Mrs. Huang sat upright, closed her eyes and thought for a while, then exhaled softly.
Ji Xiaobei: It seems like Huang Po has turned on a cheat code, and her medical skills have improved a lot, it's really amazing.
"Feng'er, get some paper!" Lian Feng quickly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
Ji Xiaobei was stunned again: Mr. Lian, are you sure this is not toilet paper?
Mrs. Huang repeated the prescription.
Lian Feng hurriedly smoothed out the toilet paper, wrote the prescription, and handed it to Huang Po.
Grandma Huang nodded and said, "Bei, go back first. I'll bring the ointment to you when I'm done."
"What does this person do?" Mrs. Huang suddenly asked.
Ji Xiaobei said without hesitation: "Mrs. Huang, this is our big customer. All the things in our workshop are sold to him. We can't neglect him."
Grandma Huang nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Bei, the disease will be cured after five applications. If it doesn't work, it will be cured after ten applications!"
Ji Xiaobei smiled.
She believed in Huang Po's medical skills, but didn't quite believe that ancient plasters could be better than modern ones.
She drove the Madebiao back.
It's really cold.
A few days ago, Zheng Guo asked her to get her a few big stoves that could be used to bake diapers.
Ji Xiaobei didn't figure out what kind of stove it was.
She used her mind to enter the cold storage.
She immediately spotted the pot-bellied iron stove in the corner.
This stove has a really big belly.
I will study how to use it specifically after I move back.
She drove the donkey cart slowly to her doorstep.
Little Table blushed and moved the stove down, but it was so heavy that he was about to cry.
The stove is gray and it’s hard to tell what it’s made of.
It’s so heavy!
"Miss Ji, I'll go inside and call someone..."
Ji Xiaobei said: "No, I'll do it!"
She stretched her legs and bent her waist. This body needed some exercise.
If it weren't for Grandma Lin's strict supervision, she would have started practicing long ago.
He punched for a while and stopped only when he started sweating slightly.
Standing at the small table on the side, he looked at the host in disbelief.
Aren’t you going to move the stove? Why did you start practicing boxing? I have to say, the boss’s boxing is really good.
Ji Xiaobei jumped onto the donkey cart, squatted in a horse stance, wrapped his arms around the big-bellied stove, lifted it up with force, and moved it down.
The little table's eyes widened in shock.
Mrs. Lin saw Ji Xiaobei carrying something in through the window and ran out of the house in a hurry.
I want to intervene, but I can't.
I could only open my hands and cry out in pain.
Ji Xiaobei put the stove in the inner room.
Huang Po and Caixia walked around it for many times, touching and knocking, but they had no idea what it was for.
Looking at Ji Xiaobei in surprise.
"This is a big charcoal basin. Put the charcoal in the big belly to keep warm..." Ji Xiaobei explained.
"Ah... Where can I find such a charcoal basin? This is not a basin at all, it looks like a big spittoon, but it's leaking at the bottom... How can this big charcoal basin be warm when its mouth is so small?"
Mrs. Lin was skeptical and stretched her neck to look under the stove.
Xiao Zhuo and Caixia added baskets of charcoal into the big belly.
Mrs. Lin felt distressed and trotted after them, saying, "It's almost done. We bought some charcoal and put in too much... These will only last for a while."
Caixia deliberately said: "Miss Ji said that it is not enough, we need to fill it up to keep warm, otherwise the young master and young lady will be frozen, which will be terrible!"
After hearing what Caixia said, the old lady gritted her teeth and said nothing.
The small table was ignited with a fire starter, but there was too much charcoal and smoke was coming out, making it hard for people to breathe.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly carried the two little ones to the west room.
Ji Xiaobei thought about it and went to the space to take a look again.
It turned out that I forgot to press the chimney.
She took out the pipe and inserted it into the pipe, which led out of the window.
After opening the windows for ventilation, there was no smoke in the room.
The charcoal fire was burning very vigorously, the big-bellied stove was burning red, and the heat could be felt from a distance.
Ji Xiaobei was very satisfied.
Caixia came in holding a basin of wet diapers. It was cloudy and cold outside, so she planned to hang them up in the house.
I was stunned when I entered the room. Oh my God, why is the room so warm?
