Chapter 634: Chapter 261 Let’s Have a Child_3
Logically speaking, even diesel generators couldn’t supply electricity to an entire village.
But this thing actually did it, the diesel utilization rate is simply top-notch.
Liang Yuan found the manual and started refueling the generator according to its instructions.
After refueling, he found the transformer and pulled out the wires from the top.
He then lit a lamp right there.
As the switch was turned on, the generator trembled slightly, and the electric light immediately came on.
"Huh, this generation equipment is surprisingly quiet?"
Liang Yuan was amazed. After this set of generation equipment was started, the engine noise was very low, and the vibration was minimal.
You know, the gasoline generator in his home, once it started working, sounded like it would tear the building down.
The engine rumbled non-stop and could drive a person crazy.
However, this generator was completely different, it was almost as if it were on mute.
Liang Yuan grinned: "The 110,000 Points spent were worth it, no wonder it’s system-produced."
Feeling satisfied, Liang Yuan swiftly began pulling the power cords upstairs.
For the next part, he was too lazy to do it himself.
He directly found some people specialized in indoor decoration at the shelter to handle the cabling.
It took the next two days to complete the cabling for the shopping center, leaving many outlets on each floor.
Fortunately, when Liang Yuan was scavenging the building, he discovered many power strips.
Otherwise, without these, powering the shopping center would be very difficult.
Liang Yuan had no electrical wires. He had to spend about a thousand Points to draw several tons of various specification wires from a system-legislated lottery.
These wires were very useful, not only for decorating the shopping center but also for the planting, breeding, and slaughterhouse bases to be electrified.
Moreover, the shelter households outside needed wires if they wanted electricity.
But they had to spend Points to buy from Liang Yuan’s shopping center.
Having wires alone was insufficient; PVC pipes and various pipe joints were needed.
This cost Liang Yuan quite a few Points.
In short, although the shopping center seemed to be ready, many small things were still needed.
Despite being frugal, Liang Yuan consumed a massive amount of Points to gather everything.
Actually, these ordinary materials weren’t costly; the key was that the lottery was random and he had specific needs, requiring directed lotteries.
And using directed lotteries costs 1,000 Points.
Fortunately, the patrol team wasn’t idle; his slaughterhouse generated hundreds of Points daily, enough to offset this lottery.
But this made his Point reserves run low.
Time passed day by day, and after three days, it was finally the opening day of Yangshan Shopping Center.
"Old Ma, Old Ma! Get up quickly."
In Granny Li’s cave, Ma Guocai was groggily awakened by his wife, Li Lanhua.
Ma Guocai couldn’t help but turn over, muttering: "Why get up so early? I was on duty last night and came back in the middle of the night. Let me sleep a bit more."
Granny Li was annoyed: "It’s almost six; Yangshan Shopping Center opens at seven. Xiaosong reminded me that there would be big discounts at the opening, lots of items will be heavily discounted."
"And the items are limited; each sale reduces stock, Wu Qian and Liu Xiuxian went early with their families, yet you’re still sleeping? How can you sleep?"
Middle-aged people have an incomprehensible obsession with discounts and sales.
As Granny Li said this, Old Ma immediately got up, all sleepiness gone.
He scrambled to dress, saying, "Oh dear, why didn’t you mention this earlier? How could you forget such an important thing?"
"Where are my pants? Pants!"
Li Lanhua scolded him playfully: "Now you’re in a rush? Hurry up, if more people arrive, you’ll have to queue, and your desired items might be gone."
Saying this, she tossed the pants from under the bed to Old Ma.
Ma Guocai hastily put on his pants and tied the cloth belt, saying: "I wonder if they have insulin and glucose meters. If so, I’d spend everything to prepare a set for you."
Granny Li was touched, her eyes moist, saying: "Why waste Points? Better get some winter clothes; the prediction said there might be Sea Tide this winter."
Old Ma slapped his forehead: "Right, that’s also crucial. But if they have insulin, we must get it."
"Let’s go now and check."
Granny Li said: "Aren’t you eating something first?"
Old Ma opened the door and looked outside.
The rain was still falling, but the cold breeze inside was noticeable.
He shivered slightly and said: "Eat later, let’s go, we need to get those winter coats."
Granny Li felt the chill too, nodded slightly, took an umbrella, and followed Old Ma, who was clad in a raincoat, outside.
The sky was still dark, naturally brightening late in the rainy weather.
As they went out, they saw many people heading towards Fire Bamboo Forest.
"Huh, Old Liu, Old Hu? You’re up this early?"
Ma Guocai immediately saw familiar faces, Liu Danian and Hu Weimin’s families.
Behind Liu Danian were Zhao Kai and Liu Feifei yawning.
Hu Weimin had his whole family out, with his wife Xiuxian and child Hu Tutu.
Seeing each other, they all smiled.
"Old Ma, Granny Li, you’re early too?"
"Everyone knows the shopping center opens today, so everyone wants to join the fun."
"Granny Li, you’re almost late; I saw Wu Qian and Cai Zhi with Cai Yao already going ahead."
"Quickly, let’s hurry. I heard some miners stayed overnight in the forest waiting for the opening."
"What? Oh dear, hurry, if we’re late, there might be nothing left to buy."
They hurriedly rushed towards Fire Bamboo Forest, chatting urgently.
