Chapter 335 334 You can buy home appliances in advance
“Captain Liu, everything is ready, all indicators are normal.”

Looking at the rows of green lights on the indicator buttons, the foreman of the power team sent here by Zhetong nodded.

Just now, the team members have installed the lights in the cabin. This kind of rural power supply station is the most basic power supply station in the group.

So basically, there is no need for any better decoration, just simply present an industrial style.

Including the lights in the room, it is naturally impossible to decorate it like an ordinary person’s home, just a simple decoration.

Of course, even the simple furnishings are in line with the consistent style of Zhetong Electric Power, such as the electric lamp installed in this small room of the power station.

These are purchased by the group, and they are all lamps with a cost of more than 200 yuan per lamp on the market and good quality.

It may not sound like a big deal. A slightly better home decoration might cost several thousand yuan for the living room ceiling light, but this is a small room.

In a cement room like this one in the countryside, if there is electricity, a five-dollar incandescent bulb may be enough.

And the cost is only over 200 yuan. According to Zhetong Electric Power’s unified purchasing price reduction, it basically only gives the manufacturer a little profit.

If you buy this in a hardware store or other places, such as a lighting store, a conscientious owner might sell it to you for two hundred and eighty or three hundred yuan.

If you meet someone who is a bit more ruthless, they will just talk nonsense to you and then ask you to bring the original price to 580 yuan, but now they are offering a promotion for 480 yuan.

After the service, the customer has to say “thank you” with a smile when leaving.

Such light bulbs are standard equipment in every grassroots power station under Zhetong Electric Power Group.

These have all been installed. Now that everything is almost ready, Squad Leader Liu pressed the button.

Now that they are exhausted from the long journey, the Volt ants in the portable box haven’t had a good rest, and no food has been put into the box.

Therefore, the power generation efficiency of the Voltaic ants is naturally not high, but it is more than enough to drive a high-power light bulb.

As the button was pressed, the room instantly lit up.

Although it was not completely dark at this time, the sky had already darkened early.

Now that the lights in the room are on, it is particularly eye-catching.

The villagers standing at the door were all looking here blankly. The light seemed like something different.

It’s not that they haven’t seen the magic of electricity, so they always want to go to the town or the county town.

Especially in county towns, the abundant electricity is completely a part of modern people’s life. It’s not like they have never seen it before. They are not like the ancients who would be dazed when they saw something glowing.

It’s just that it means a lot to them.

Here, there is electricity.

……

After a long silence, the power team members finished the test. After confirming that there was no problem, they fed the Volt Ants first.

Then he turned off the lights, locked the door and walked out.

Only then did the crowd start cheering. Everyone’s mood and expressions were undoubtedly extremely excited, and the children were even happier.

Of course, we have learned about electricity in books and know what it is.

This means that their future lives will also be changed.

Everybody cheered and was happy.

Seeing this, the power team members sent here by Zhetong naturally smiled with relief.

Apart from salary, this is what they want most.

……

“Come on, come on, masters, follow me. I’ll be on the motorcycle in front and you guys follow me. I’m the village party secretary, and I’ll be representing our village to entertain you masters tonight.”

Since that’s what they said, Zhetong’s people naturally couldn’t refuse.

What’s more, this is really not very convenient. After all, there is no light in the village at this time. They are unfamiliar with the place and it will probably take a long time to find a carriage inn.

The village party secretary rode a motorcycle in front to lead the way, and the masters behind him got on the car, started the car and turned on the lights to illuminate the road ahead for the village party secretary.

The lights on his small motorcycle are really not as good as those of the Buick Falcon.

……

There are only a few hundred households in the village, but it is really big.

They drove for several minutes before arriving at the place. When they got there, they saw the yard of the village party secretary’s house at a glance.

Because there was a fire in the yard at this moment.

Because there is no electricity, the engines in the village cannot be used normally. If they are used, it would be enough to disturb the residents late at night.

So the courtyard of the village party secretary’s house was naturally lit by torches.

We don’t waste firewood like this on ordinary days. We usually do this during festivals or when there are guests at home.

But the lights that lit up in the yard today were undoubtedly to welcome the team members of Zhetong Electric Power.

Everyone was very moved when they saw the lights. After all, it was heartbreaking to see such a large amount of firewood burned like that. Many of the team members came from rural areas.

Of course, I know that firewood is not easy to find. Every winter, I have to search the forest for it to store enough firewood for the winter.

This is really troublesome.

Naturally, there were backup lighting equipment in the car, so Squad Leader Liu spoke before getting out of the car.

“Brothers, please help me later. Let’s park the car in someone’s yard and take out the lighting equipment from the trunk. The power in the car is enough. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for them to get firewood or something.”

If the monitor didn’t say anything, everyone else would have the same idea, so after this was said, everyone nodded, not minding having to work a little longer.

It was already completely dark at this point, but they were just starting their second meal of the day.

Needless to say, the village was naturally prepared to provide warm hospitality for such distinguished guests. The wife of the village party secretary brought a lot of good things not only from her own home, but also from her neighbors’ homes.

They are already enthusiastic enough on weekdays, so they are naturally even more enthusiastic towards friends coming from afar, not to mention that these five “friends from afar” are all their “benefactors”.

We are here to give them electricity, so the dishes are naturally very rich.

Now that the car was stable, as soon as the door was opened, everyone could smell the rich aroma of meat, both roasted meat and stewed soup.

“Wow, they are so enthusiastic. The smell of meat is so delicious.”

“Of course, we should not let them down when they are so hospitable to us. Let’s help put up the lights first. We will also complete the power supply for the whole village as soon as possible.”

“Yes, we have to work harder to be worthy of them.”

Several people who were working in the power station were wearing gloves and had not yet washed or anything.

Now, take advantage of this moment to get everything done in one or two steps before washing up and eating.

……

Without any instructions from the squad leader, as soon as they got off the car, several people quickly opened the truck bed, which is the so-called “trunk”.

A set of lighting tools was taken out from inside.

Because the circuit laying department of Zhetong Electric Power Group and the like, especially in this kind of operation, most people will face a night operation.

In the absence of light, vehicles are needed to provide lighting. So basically their power supply vehicles are equipped with backup power supplies at the back, which can be directly connected to the power supply vehicle.

This is quickly assembled. Just use a fixed pole to place the light bulb in a higher place, and then connect it to the power supply in the car.

These are the lights used by the group for work, and their power is naturally not comparable to that of the lights in ordinary people’s homes.

It suddenly lit up, not only illuminating the entire yard of the village party secretary’s house, but also being visible from many homes nearby.

Wow, it’s very bright.

After noticing this scene, the village party secretary and his busy family members were stunned, and then they smiled.

Fire brings warmth, but light brings brightness.

Now I can see more clearly when I’m working in the kitchen, which is not comparable to the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall.

And after a while, they will be able to use lights at home. Thinking of this, they feel happy and full of hope.

……

Under the arrangement of the village party secretary, the five Zhetong Electric Power workers were very polite and washed up first. After all, they had to wash their hands before eating after working.

Then they sat together in the living room, opened the door, and let the lights from the yard outside shine in.

The lighting used for work is naturally much stronger than ordinary household lighting.

It might be an exaggeration to say that the living room was as bright as day, but everything could be seen clearly.

In addition to the mutton and some other dishes on the slow table, there is also Wusu, which is nicknamed the Deadly Wusu.

It is the local beer of Xinjiang Province, so it is naturally one of its major features.

The reason is that the most common glass bottle of Wusu is relatively large, with more than 100 ml more than the common 500 ml beer.

First of all, the quantity overwhelms you, and then the alcohol content is also a little higher than the ordinary ones on the market, so the “power” is naturally greater.

Over time, he was given the nickname “Deadly Da Wusu” in the underworld.

Seeing this, those who couldn’t hold their liquor were naturally a little scared, but they couldn’t resist the enthusiasm.

What’s more, the group has regulations on this matter. As long as it does not affect tomorrow’s work, it’s okay for you to drink something the night before.

As long as you don’t drink too much, there’s no problem.

“First of all, on behalf of the 261 households in our village, I would like to thank you, Zhetong Electric Power, and thank you for coming here. Thank you!”

After saying that, the branch secretary drank the beer in one gulp.

Now everyone appreciated it and started eating. It must be said that this mutton is authentic from the Northwest.

……

After eating and drinking, Zhetong’s men did not go directly to the room to rest, but helped the host clean up the house.

I can’t help with anything else, and people won’t let me help.

But it is certainly okay to help clean up the garbage, throw away wine bottles, etc.

After finishing all this, they came into the room.

I have to say, this place is really well decorated, at least much better than the big carriage inn, and the bedding and other things all have a scent of laundry.

After washing up, a few people lay here and chatted for a while.

“Brothers, this is really nice of them. Let’s not lose face for our Zhetong. We should work hard in the next few days and try to get the electricity turned on as soon as possible!”

“Squad leader, don’t worry. We will work hard. The sooner the electricity is turned on, the better.”

Zhetong Electric Power is a land with a bit of idealism. Because of the generous salary guarantee and corporate culture, some people come here with real ideals and enthusiasm.

Corporate culture has been overused in the past two years. The wolf culture that some companies are pursuing is undoubtedly a way to exploit their employees.

But Zhetong’s corporate culture is one of the most precious things for mankind.

They lay in bed thinking about the smiling faces of the children and local people, which would add a touch of color to the satellite map again.

Everyone is rich when we think of this.

……

The next morning, everyone got up one after another after hearing the crowing of roosters.

Although he drank beer last night, squad leader Liu only drank two bottles at most, which did not affect today at all.

After washing up, breakfast was also arranged by the branch secretary’s family.

According to this situation, I guess I will have to stay at someone else’s home for the next few days.

Team Leader Liu also had his own plans for this. No matter what, he was eating and drinking at someone else’s expense, and the group subsidized accommodation and meals.

He had already made up his mind that when he left, he would leave some money as compensation for the hospitality during this period.

We cannot discredit Zhetong Electric Power!
……

After breakfast, several people drove to the power station in the center of the village and started working. They first made a preliminary design of the circuit diagram.

According to the agreed time, another vehicle carrying cables arrived.

Everyone will then have a place to use their skills and can quickly start installing electricity in the village.

……

At 11 o’clock in the morning, vehicles carrying cables and other equipment arrived at the village one after another.

If the driver and one member of the power team were to unload the truck alone, it would take a lot of time and it might not be until the afternoon.

The village party secretary did not say anything and directly called some young and middle-aged people in the village over.

Although in recent years most young people have left the villages and gone to work in big cities to see the outside world.

But there are always some young people who are willing to stay in their hometown, in the village where they were born and raised.

In a village with more than 200 households, there must be at least a dozen young men who come to read the book, and more than a dozen young men come together to lend a hand.

The two trucks were quickly unloaded into the village committee compound.

Although the weather forecast showed no rain for the next week, Squad Leader Liu still led his men to cover the area with tarpaulin.

Moreover, the cables and other equipment are all padded with wood underneath, like railway sleepers.

This way, even if it rains, the rain won’t get on it.

This is the group’s operating regulations. After all, the weather forecast is always inaccurate. If it rains, their ordinary employees cannot afford to pay for so many supplies.

After finishing these tasks, the team members started to work on other things, which naturally included migrating the circuits outward from the power station.

With this place as the center, it covers the entire village.

According to squad leader Liu, everyone can start going to the county town or town to buy light bulbs and other things.
