Chapter 243, Sending warmth and studying abroad

Just as Grandet was talking to Watt about the trading of steam engines by the warm fireplace, in Petski Lane, Little Oliver was following Feijin to bring warmth to some residents of Petski Lane.

This sends warmth is a real sending warmth. After the cold wave a week ago, an uninvited guest who was cold and ruthless and invisible to the naked eye. The doctor called him "pneumonia", tiptoed in the petticoat alley, touching and touching it with his cold fingers. This bad guy walked blatantly, and every time he broke into a yard, there would always be more than a dozen or even dozens of unlucky guys who became his victims.

For the poor people in the petticoat alley, they got sick at this time and almost stepped into the gates of hell with one foot. From three days ago, every morning, there were frozen bodies, dragged out from the dark small houses on both sides of the petticoat alley, and threw them on a hard flat carriage, one, two... until the carriage was filled. Then the shaking coachman shook his whip, and the horse's nostrils of the horse in the carriage sprayed white mist from the nostrils, and the hoofs nailed to the iron were hit hard, like the ground like pig iron, and the carriage slowly moved, and the axle lacking lubrication made a low and intermittent friction sound, just like a worker's wife, who was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night, remembering that she didn't know what could be stuffed into her husband and child's stomach tomorrow, and then lamented.

This situation made Boss Fei Jin very worried. He didn't have many ways to deal with pneumonia, which was indeed far beyond his ability. Now he could only rely on purely natural methods to allow everyone to survive this disaster with their own resistance and God's blessing, and then form resistance. Then, after the elderly and children basically died, probably... they could form herd immunity.

This also shows that Boss Fei Jin has outstanding talent and insight, which is enough to serve as prime minister in a corrupt country centuries later, and to be a gang leader in a small gang, which is really a bit insignificant.

However, Boss Fei Jin still has to work hard to help the neighbors solve some problems. He feels that the main problem is that the house in the Petrang Alley is that it is too cold.

For those rich, their homes have thick walls, double-glazed windows, and a fireplace that will not be shut down for twenty-four hours a day. On the bed of rich people, there are several thick mattresses and mattresses, so thick that if you put a pea under the mattress, it will definitely not be felt except for some people who are really princess-like. Not to mention that there are silk fabrics on these mattresses, which are filled with light and soft duck down quilts.

In this way, unless it is cold outside so much that carbon dioxide snow is like in "Ice Age", they will always be warm at home like in spring.

In the petticoat alley, the walls of the houses there are generally just a piece of wood, and there is no glass on the windows, so they can only be blocked with broken wooden boards, and there are also doors and door cracks that can be stuffed into a fist. Such a house with air permeable sides naturally has no warmth. Compared with the outside of the house, except for the slightly smaller wind, there is almost no difference in temperature.

The people living here naturally don’t have any thick mattresses or mattresses. Their mattresses are scrap newspapers, ragged cloth pieces, and all kinds of hay, even dried leaves, sawdust, etc. As for the quilt, it is a thick piece of cloth full of holes, with some stuff like a mattress stuffed inside.

Boss Fei Jin felt that the pneumonia in the petticoat alley was so serious, largely because it was too cold here. So he had to find a way to increase the temperature here at night.

The recent economic situation has improved, which is also reflected in the labor income of Fei Jin's subordinates. The pickpockets have not succeeded more often, but the money they have successfully raised from a gentleman has increased significantly.

Not long ago, he successfully cooperated with a boy who wanted to get more money from his miser father to go to a bar and find a girl to carry out a kidnapping. With the wholehearted cooperation and help of the "victim", they got a total of three thousand pounds from an old gentleman. (There are three thousand pounds taken away by the "victim") In addition, his developed friend who is now a French friend and friendly sponsored 1,000 francs. This year, Feijin's pocket has been bulging like never before.

This makes Fei Jin more generous when he is sending warmth this year. In the past, he could only provide a small piece of cloth to every household in the petticoat alley, but this year, he can already give every household here a real blanket.

These blankets are second-hand goods, and they were bought by Fei Jin’s friends from various frivolous goods markets. Compared to buying brand new blankets, buying these things is more cost-effective. If Joseph was present, he would probably recommend them to put these second-hand blankets in a large pot and cook them hard.

However, in this era, although bacteria have been discovered, the relationship between bacteria and diseases has not been proved. People do not know that certain bacteria will cause diseases, nor how to eliminate bacteria, so naturally no one cares about this matter.

Oliver followed Fei Jin and sent the blankets to them one by one. Every family was grateful to the righteous Boss Fei Jin, and even Oliver felt honored. But Boss Fei Jin didn't have much smile on his face. Or he still had a smile when facing the residents of the petticoat alley, but as soon as he walked out of the house, the smile on Fei Jin's face was immediately blown away by the cold wind outside.

That night, Boss Fei Jin recruited the most important people in the gang together. Then he told them something that surprised them.

"Iron teeth, butchers and cuckoos, you all came to me. I called you this time, and there was something to tell you. You know, Jag Goleng was back, and Qi became the second-class secretary of the French Embassy. He had come to me several times and donated some money to us."

"I know. When we were children, we all heard you tell the story of "Ghost Sorrow". He is such a loyal hero. Now he has become rich and has never forgotten us."
