In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn
Chapter 100 Queuing for Registration
Once Aunt Wang calmed down, Su Li said, "I'd like to ask you to help me compile a list of households that are capable of cultivating the seeds."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang quickly added, "If everyone knew how much this stuff yields, they would definitely be scrambling to plant it."
Su Li was naturally aware of this situation, which is why she shook her head and said, "Auntie, that's why I want you to help me count the number of people. I'm looking for responsible and dedicated families. Currently, we don't have enough seeds, only enough for some people to plant."
Hearing Su Li say this, Aunt Wang suddenly felt a great responsibility and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you sure you can trust me with such an important task, Su Li?"
"Of course I don't worry. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have called you, Auntie," Su Li said with great certainty.
Hearing this, Aunt Wang was deeply moved and immediately assured her, "Su Li, don't worry, I will strictly check and ensure that every household is honest and reliable."
Hearing this, Su Li nodded and then said, "Auntie, this time the target group is not limited to the original team members, as long as they are residents of this city."
Aunt Wang wasn't surprised by this and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand."
The two continued talking around the large vat for a while, and then Aunt Wang hurriedly went back. After returning home, she kept her mouth shut and did not reveal a word until everyone was led to see the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).
The earthen houses along the road between the two cities were finally completed. These houses were all equipped with heated brick beds, so early in the morning, soldiers beat gongs all over the city to announce that people could visit the heated brick beds.
Because Aunt Wang had already witnessed the effects of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), she wasn't particularly surprised. But the others were different; they had been looking forward to it for a long time. Now, the streets and alleys were bustling with activity, and almost all the people in the city had come out.
Because she had been pondering something for the past two days, Aunt Wang was not as excited as the others, which made Aunt Liu and the others a little curious.
Seeing that Aunt Wang had been somewhat absent-minded these past few days, Aunt Liu finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You've been listless all day."
Seeing Aunt Liu's curiosity, Aunt Wang sighed and said, "I'll tell you why it's for after we go to see the heated kang."
"You're being so mysterious! Stop being so gloomy! I've been wanting to see a heated kang for so long, and now I finally have the chance to witness it with my own eyes. I have to take a close look. I really want to see what this heated kang, which we have to exchange for 500 work points, actually looks like!" Aunt Liu said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The news about the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) has spread throughout the north and south of the city in the past few days. Now that everyone has the opportunity to witness it firsthand, no one is not curious. Sure enough, almost everyone went to see it.
Having anticipated that many people would come to see the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), Zhao Zexuan specially arranged for soldiers to guard the front of the earthen house in order to maintain order at the scene.
Aunt Liu thought they had arrived quite early, but she was surprised to see a long queue outside the city.
Aunt Liu was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but sigh, "So many people are interested in the heated kang bed. Don't they all think 500 work points is a lot? I thought we were here very early, but I didn't expect there were so many people who arrived earlier than us."
Aunt Wang was standing behind Aunt Liu. When she heard this, she pointed to the people coming out of the house. Their faces were flushed, and they were obviously excited.
Looking at those people, Aunt Wang said, "It means this thing is very valuable, otherwise everyone wouldn't care so much and be so excited."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu looked in the direction and immediately saw one person after another excitedly coming out of the house, their expressions as if they had seen some rare treasure.
Looking at those people, Aunt Liu sighed, "I knew this thing was no ordinary thing."
Aunt Liu's composure lasted only a moment. The next second, she said nervously, "What should we do? There are so many people ahead of us in line. Aren't we going to fall behind? Will we even be able to get a number?"
Hearing this, Aunt Wang nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course we can. The general and the others must have made arrangements in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have notified us to come and see the heated kang."
Hearing Aunt Wang say this, Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "That's right, the general and the others must have made arrangements in advance, so we can just wait in line without worry."
"I feel like I don't even need to go in and check anymore, I don't need to confirm anymore, this heated kang bed must be a good thing."
Hearing this, Aunt Wang stood behind Aunt Liu and nodded silently, adding in her mind, "It's definitely a good thing."
Because there were many earthen houses being built and there was a time limit, the procession moved quickly. Soon it was Aunt Liu's turn, Aunt Wang's turn, and the group entered the earthen house under the guidance of the soldiers.
Because the mud house was newly built, it was still empty inside, but as the soldiers entered, everyone quickly noticed the difference.
The room was very warm, much warmer than outside. The moment Aunt Liu entered the room, she stared at the heated kang bed and was completely shocked. After getting permission from the soldier, she couldn't wait to reach out and touch it. Only after feeling the warmth of the kang did she feel at ease.
The others who came in with them had the same expression, constantly observing what was in front of them, their hearts filled with indescribable excitement.
Although Aunt Wang had seen it once before, she still couldn't help but get excited when she saw it again. As she felt the warmth of the kang (heated brick bed) with her hands, she thought to herself, "I guess there aren't many families in the city who would give up building a kang."
There were still quite a few people queuing outside, so the visit time passed quickly. The group walked out of the earthen house with lingering enthusiasm, their faces flushed like everyone else's.
Unable to contain her excitement, Aunt Liu quickly asked the soldier who she should contact to register if she wanted to build a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).
The soldier was well-prepared for this process, especially since he knew Aunt Liu and her group. He then reminded them, "If you want to build a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), go to the General's Mansion and line up to register. Explain your reason and go through the process of exchanging work points or borrowing work points on credit."
Upon hearing the news, Aunt Liu immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, we understand."
After saying this, Aunt Liu called to Aunt Wang to follow her and hurry up to line up to register.
Aunt Wang knew the effects of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), and besides, there was something else weighing on her mind, so when she heard Aunt Liu's call, she followed without hesitation, and the group hurried back.
After finally arriving at the General's Mansion, there were already two long queues outside, with everyone waiting in line to register.
Seeing this scene, Aunt Liu quickly pulled Aunt Wang to join the queue at the back. Looking at the long line, Aunt Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You said you wanted to talk to me about something after we saw the heated kang (traditional Chinese bed). What is it?"
