Chapter 316 Gas stove!
Lan Xin knew the hardships of having a badly designed kitchen, so the kitchen in the new house was made big and spacious.
The kitchen is also covered with smooth tiles, so there is no need to worry about the walls being blackened by fire. Even if they are blackened, there is no need to be afraid, as they can be wiped clean with a rag.
The stove top was cut large and also covered with tiles, looking bright and clean. Next to it was a brand new gas stove, a clean and beautiful square stainless steel stove connected to a large gas cylinder. This was something that everyone could not understand.
It was when Lan Xin and Qi Liheng went to the city last time that they accidentally discovered this magical thing called gas stove. It turns out that gas stoves already exist, but they have not been popularized yet, and most people don't know about them yet.
Even most people in the city use coal stoves at home, not to mention remote rural areas.
Seeing this quick and convenient thing, Lan Xin gritted her teeth and bought a set, even though gas stoves and gas are expensive nowadays.
After all, having this gas can greatly improve her quality of life. She no longer has to suffer the pain of burning firewood or coal briquettes!
"Lan Xin, what is this?"
"There is also a rack, which is an iron rack specially used for placing pots. I have an old style one at home, which is used to place pots." Someone said seriously and led everyone into the ditch in an instant.
"Well, I have a few at home, some for pots and some for washbasins."
"This is only good-looking but not practical. The frame can be fixed with a few iron pillars. How much iron would it take to make this one look nice and square?"
"That's right. Besides, it's so short that it can only be placed on a table. It would be better to just use a piece of wood to support it."
"Dazhu's wife, you will enjoy a good life in the future. Your daughter is so amazing. Not only is her kitchen prettier than ours, but she even made the pot rack differently." Someone said sourly.
Old Lady Lan looked up and said proudly, "The child is capable and can do whatever he wants. As parents, we are too controlling and will affect our child's success."
"What you said is true. The child is only a few years old. He doesn't even eat as much salt as we do. If we don't help, it won't work. Just look at this pot rack. If it doesn't get some elders to approve it, it will just be a useless thing..."
Several people were chattering, adding to the conversation one after another, leaving Lan Xin with no room to get a word in. Seeing how they were twisting the uses of the things in completely different ways, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
The pot rack they mentioned was made because there were too many people in the house and the table was too small. Also, the black ash from the burnt bottom of the pot was too dirty to put on the table. The pots and pans for rice could not be placed on the table or directly on the ground. There were too many insects, ants and rats, so they specially made a rack to hold the pots.
But the function of this pot rack is very similar to that of a gas stove. When people learned that this was a beautifully shaped pot rack, they seemed to have seen something familiar and were no longer so cautious. Immediately, some people curiously touched the knob on the gas stove.
"What is this? A pot rack with a decoration." As she said this, she turned the knob. Lan Xin saw it and quickly stopped her.
"do not move!"
It’s a pity that it’s too late to say this.
A few people who were originally chattering around the gas stove watched the blue flame come out of the small pot rack, and the heat even tickled one of their hands.
"Ouch!"
"Oh, it's on fire, it's on fire!"
Everyone was startled when they saw the sudden burst of fire, and someone immediately started talking in a loud noise.
The people who were watching the TV being installed in the living room were so scared that they ran over, and some even wanted to take a bucket to get water to put out the fire.
Lan Xin went over to turn off the gas stove the moment it was lit, and also tightened the knob of the gas bottle beside it, and quickly comforted him:
"Don't worry, it's not on fire. This is a gas stove, a burner. It's normal for there to be fire."
The crowd that was about to panic was calmed down by Lan Xin, and everyone looked at Lan Xin's actions curiously.
"Stove, stove?!"
"Yeah, this is a gas stove, used for cooking."
Originally, seeing that they were discussing so enthusiastically, Lan Xin thought about ignoring this thing for the time being and not talking about its purpose, so as not to embarrass those who were just talking. But who knew that she was so careless that she turned on the gas stove.
What made Lan Xin even more angry was that when Guo Qingyu installed the gas stove for her, he only turned off the button of the gas stove and did not even turn off the gas cylinder.
You should know that gas stoves are still very unstable in the early stages of use and may explode if you are not careful.
If it hadn't been discovered today by accident under everyone's noses, if Yingying and Yueyue had turned on the gas stove out of curiosity and it started burning, and the adults at home hadn't noticed, it would have burned flammable items and set the whole house on fire.
Not only will the fire and explosion burn down the house, but the children will also be injured.
But everyone had no idea of Lan Xin's fear. They looked at the square little table curiously. They were curious to begin with, and now they were even more curious.
"Is this a stove? It's so small, where do you put the firewood?"
"This doesn't require firewood, it uses gas." Lan Xin calmed down and explained.
As she spoke, she demonstrated to everyone, took a new pot from the side and placed it on the gas stove, then turned on the switch of the gas bottle, and then turned on the switch of the gas stove.
With a "click" sound, in full view of everyone, a circle of blue flame suddenly appeared in the middle of the small square table. The flame burned the iron pot on it, and the remaining water on the iron pot began to boil and disappear. Then half a cup of water was poured into it, and the water quickly boiled.
"!!!"
The eyes of the onlookers suddenly widened, as if they had seen something magical!
"Fire, fire actually came out like this!"
"This fire is so powerful that it heats up the pot in no time."
Yueyue, who had seen the movie Journey to the West, immediately said in a clear and loud voice: "Red Boy! Mom, is this the Red Boy transformed?!"
Otherwise, how to explain the sudden burst of flames?
Lan Xin almost laughed when she heard Yueyue's childish talk, but the villagers beside her nodded seriously, thinking that this was a method only gods could use.
After seeing their expressions, Lan Xin suddenly realized the current situation and quickly became serious and introduced herself to everyone.
"Everyone, listen to me. This is not a magical trick. It is science and technology. The flame is liquefied kerosene and gas. It will burn when it passes through the gas stove. It is the same as the firewood stove and kerosene lamp we usually use. The only difference is that the firewood stove burns firewood, the kerosene lamp burns oil, and this gas stove burns gas."
Everyone listened to Lan Xin's words with an expression of confusion. Although Lan Xin kept saying that the gas stove was burned by burning things just like the wood stove, they couldn't figure out how it was burned. But when it came to kerosene lamps, everyone seemed to understand a little.
