Chapter 395

Although the six people went back to eat, the two crawler tractors were parked there in a state of being started.

Because the crawler tractor is the same as the four-wheeled vehicle and the hand-guided tractor; once it is turned off, it will be very strenuous to start it after a while.

Of course, it's not that it can't be started; if the water temperature hasn't dropped much, it's also easy to start, but if there are ice shards in the water tank, then you have to think of other ways.

At this time, it is necessary to light a fire under the water tank of the crawler tractor to heat the water tank and oil pipe before starting.

Actually, cars in this era, as long as they burn diesel, not only tractors are like this, but cars are also the same.

Many times, not only the water tank needs to be roasted, but the fuel tank also needs to be roasted.

Mainly because the temperature in the Northeast in winter is too low; if the diesel doesn't meet the standard, there will be a condensation situation, which is commonly known as "waxing."

Actually, it's just that the diesel changes from liquid to a semi-liquid and semi-solid state; the oil pipe doesn't pass oil, and the engine naturally won't start or will automatically extinguish.

So from the root, the car won't start; the car itself only accounts for a small part of the relationship, mainly in the temperature and oil.

When the six people entered the house, Liu Guilan, Mu Xueqing, Zhang Shuya, and Sun Nian had already prepared the food.

The staple food was two-mixed-flour steamed buns, and there were many dishes, and most of them were meat dishes; the main reason was that Wang An's house didn't lack meat.

Besides, not only to entertain the six people including Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya, but also to entertain the 4 driver masters.

Mainly, it's the same everywhere; if you are working for me, I must entertain you with good food and drink.

It doesn't matter if there are few dishes; meat must be there!

In the situation where meat is scarce nationwide, the food at Wang An's house truly stunned the four drivers; a full table, except for stewed pickled cabbage with pork belly and dipped sauce dishes, the rest were meat.

Braised wild boar meat, braised horse meat, stewed wild boar bones, stewed roe deer bones, fried cicadas, wild boar intestine stir-fried with chili, horse intestine, braised mandarin fish, steamed huchen, stewed catfish.

Plus stewed pickled cabbage with pork belly and dipped sauce dishes, a full 12 dishes.

Drivers are considered high-end professions in this era; as the saying goes, "the engine roars, ten thousand taels of gold," there are no drivers in this era who are not rich.

Even so, no family can eat meat like this; to be honest, more than 99% of families nationwide can't do it!

Actually, entertaining guests in this era, as long as there is meat on the dish, it's fine; for example, stewed pickled cabbage, mixed with a few slices of fat meat, is enough to give the guests face.

It's just that Wang An's house is different; what dishes? Pure meat is more exciting.

Just ask you, is this face given enough?

And there is no such thing as drunk driving in this era; "don't drink and drive" is completely non-existent.

So including the drivers, everyone drank quite a bit of alcohol, but they drank the cheapest sweet potato shochu.

Actually, although sweet potato shochu is cheap, in terms of taste, it is much better than sorghum wine and corn wine.

This thing is not as spicy as sorghum wine, and the taste is not as single as corn wine; it is truly a very good kind of wine.

After eating and drinking, they didn't take a nap, and the four drivers went to push the land again.

It could be seen that these four driver masters seemed very anxious, wishing they could clear out Wang An's new homestead in a moment.

However, it was only after Wang Shuai's explanation that I learned that these four drivers are now doing private work and came out secretly.

Of course, Wang Shuai also handled the things that should be handled, and the leaders of the coal mine also turned a blind eye.

Because in the morning, the area near the spring eye had been processed, as for other places, it was nothing more than pushing away the stones, tree stumps, and shrubs, and then pushing the whole place flat.

So after the meal, only Wang Dazhu followed the four drivers.

It's like this in this era; people are working for your family, although your family paid money, but not having one person to hand over cigarettes and pour water to accompany them would make people feel a bit unreasonable.

Once Wang An was idle, Zhang Shuya was immediately happy, and Sun Nian was even more overjoyed.

Without a word, the two pulled Wang An and wanted to go scoop fish.

That excited look directly left Wang An speechless.

Strange to say, these two beautiful women who looked very pretty really didn't have the look of a lady at all and had a huge interest in things like scooping fish.

To be honest, Wang An just wanted to stay, eat and drink enough, and then take a nap; that would be the most beautiful thing for Wang An.

But these two women are truly impossible to deal with!

And upon hearing that they were going to scoop fish, Wang Shuai and the four of Wu Dong instantly became full of interest and insisted on going along no matter what.

Especially Wang Shuai and Wu Dong, who complained to Wang An; only to hear Wang Shuai say:

"Little An, our brothers have known each other for such a long time, and you haven't given me a single fish."

When saying this, Wang Shuai was full of "disappointment and sadness," as if Wang An not giving him fish to eat was a crime.

Wu Dong followed up on the side:

"Yeah, not to mention you, we are the ones who knew him first, and we haven't eaten a single fish either."

Wang An was a bit stunned upon hearing this; to say, he indeed hadn't sent fish to the four of them.

But fish is much more abundant in the county than in the village; could they be lacking fish to eat?

So Wang An asked Wang Shuai suspiciously:

"Big brother, there are all kinds of fish in the county market; can't you buy them?"

Wang Shuai glared at Wang An and said righteously:

"Doesn't buying fish cost money? Why are you so bad at living?"

Wu Dong also helped out with a smile: "Yeah, things that don't cost money taste better."

Wang An was completely stunned; mainly because what these two said was really without fault!

Because Wang An also likes to eat things that don't cost money, especially cucumbers, persimmons, and muskmelons from other people's vegetable gardens, as well as watermelons and tender corn from the production team's land.

Stealing one to eat, that taste, I don't know why it's so fragrant?

If you eat it hiding in the cornfield, you can reach a peak; it seems that stolen things are the most beautiful delicacies in the world.

Anyway, things without a "thief's taste," even if they are the same things, in terms of taste, they are always a bit off no matter how you eat them.

And no matter how you eat them, there is no such happy effect, and you can't figure out why.

Consequently, Wang An raised both hands in surrender, and apologized with his mouth:

"My fault, it must be my fault, it was my lack of consideration..."

Before Wang An could finish, Wang Shuai said:

"Alright, stop messing around, get off the kang and put on your shoes, lead us to scoop fish."
