Chapter 40 Metamorphosis Small Steel Furnace

"Are you going to buy a stove?"

The shop owner, who was exposing Li Xiaojun's dark history to Xiaoxue and the others, stepped forward with bright eyes and asked.

"Let's just see, how much does this stove cost?"

Before Ren Xiaowei could speak, Chen Jinkui took the lead and pointed at the oversized stove.

"Oh!" When the store owner saw this, most of the joy on his face instantly disappeared, and he said casually: "It's not much, just eight hundred yuan!"

"It's so expensive, boss, please be cheaper!" Liang Xiaotong, who was following behind, took the opportunity to bargain.

"Yeah, make it cheaper!"

Xiaoxue also followed suit, and even Li Xiaojun, who was following at the back, saw that his old uncle suddenly became energetic again, and persuaded him with excitement:

"Make less money, uncle. Just treat it as a favor for me and sell it to them cheaper!"

"Shut up!" The shop owner glared at him coldly, thought for a moment, looked at Ren Xiaowei and said:

"This stove was retired from a stove factory. Although it looks a bit old, it is comfortable to use. Since you know Xiaojun, I'll give it 700!"

As he spoke, a sad expression appeared on his face.

"..." When everyone heard that it was a hundred yuan cheaper, their faces became hesitant. Although the price sounded a lot cheaper, Xiaoxue and the others only had a monthly salary of five hundred yuan.

"Hmph, seven hundred yuan is still too expensive. I, Old Chen, can assure you that you can't find such a good one in the whole town!" The shop owner secretly looked at them and said deliberately with a sly light in his eyes.

"How about we look at other stoves!" Chen Jinkui was a little hesitant, looked at Ren Xiaowei and said, then pointed to several other stoves and asked: "Where are these?"

"It's six hundred, and if you buy it, I'll give you a fire clip!"

"what about this?"

"This is cheap, only three hundred!"

They quickly looked at seven or eight stoves, and each stove was very "robust".

The shop owner took the opportunity to recommend several models with radiators or heating nets. The ones that looked more fancy were rejected by Chen Jinkui.

In his opinion, those radiators couldn't be used at all.

Especially the people who make stoves don't understand those principles in the first place, and what they come up with based on their own ideas is simply fooling people.

This is also the reason why Chen Jinkui insisted on coming. He was afraid that the children would spend money on something useless and the weather would be cold when the weather got cold.

Chen Jinkui clapped his hands, nodded slightly, stood up, walked over and pointed to the two best stoves and said:

"Xiaowei, just buy these two. The smaller one is more than 300 yuan cheaper and looks quite thick. The other one..."

When he saw the big stove, he hesitated.

"Uncle, what do you think of this?" Ren Xiaowei just smiled and asked, patting the stove next to him.

"This..." Chen Jinkui was stunned when he heard this, then he frowned and knocked on the thin furnace wall a few times and said:

"Listen, this one is a bit thin and not durable. It's better to choose a stove that's sturdy and durable!"

"..." Ren Xiaowei looked at the shop owner with a smile and shouted: "Boss, how much does this cost?"

"This? Well... This stove uses less materials and is much cheaper. If you want it, I'll give you two hundred!"

The store owner was secretly happy when he heard this. It would be great if he could sell this leftover product that had been gathering dust in the warehouse for several years.

"Only two hundred!"

Ren Xiaowei was stunned when he heard this and asked.

"Xiaowei, come here!" Chen Jinkui couldn't bear it anymore and pulled him aside with an ugly face to persuade him.

"We can't have that stove. It's too thin. The walls are made of iron sheets. When we want a stove, we can't just listen to the price. It has to be warm..."

"..." Ren Xiaowei smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, the shop owner took him away again.

"Hey, hey, you don't talk nonsense, why are you joining in the fun when someone buys something!" the store owner said, giving Uncle Jin a hard look.

"I'm his uncle, why can't..." Chen Jinkui stared at the other person angrily and said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong, uncle? As parents, we should learn to let go. If you worry about everything, you will become useless trash. Aren't you delaying your children..."

"???" Li Xiaojun was a little confused.

"I, I, I..."

Chen Jinkui was speechless by the other party's words, while the store owner hoped that Ren Xiaowei would ask for this thin-skinned stove.

He had bought two or three such stoves at the beginning, but because the common people chose the same thing as Chen Jinkui, and because there were no "decorative decorations" like those radiators, there was only one left after the sale today.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to sell, I naturally don't want to let this opportunity go easily.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiaoxue quietly stepped forward, winked at him and persuaded: "Little Viagra, let's just listen to Uncle Jin!"

"Ok, I know!"

Ren Xiaowei touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face that made the shop owner next to him suddenly feel uneasy.

He was afraid that Ren Xiaowei would change his mind, so after thinking about it, he stepped forward and looked at him and said: "Well, if you want it, I'll give you one hundred and fifty yuan, but you have to buy another radiator, otherwise I will

But it’s such a loss!”

"good!"

Ren Xiaowei seemed to be really persuaded, and then he followed the other person and started looking for a radiator, causing Chen Jinkui beside him to jump anxiously.

"You can't have it. Those things are useless. It's a waste of money to buy them!"

Ren Xiaowei just smiled and nodded: "I know, uncle!"

After a while.

When they left, they not only bought a stove, but also a high-pressure heating pot that was said to have strong heat conductivity, plus a chimney, which cost a total of five hundred yuan.

At this time, the shop owner was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, but Uncle Jin was very angry with him. At this moment, he just carried the stove and walked in front, with a gloomy face and did not speak to him.

"Little Viagra, it's a bit expensive!" Zhu Xiaoxue said in a low voice as she followed him with a bit of reluctance on her face.

"Expensive? Is that expensive? You have been tricked this time!" Chen Jinkui replied in a sudden voice without even looking back.

"Haha..." Ren Xiaowei looked at them, some were dissatisfied, some were confused, some were indifferent, but he suddenly became happy.

"Uncle, don't you know that the place where I went to college is much colder than this one every winter..."

Speaking of which, he mentioned what he had seen at his college classmate's house. It was cold all year round, and people still lived in tents. Naturally, they were even more worried about keeping warm.

"Little Viagra, is it really that cold over there?"

This was the first time Zhu Xiaoxue heard him mention school and looked at him with concern and asked.

"..." Chen Jinkui in front also lost most of his anger after hearing this.

He felt that Xiaowei had seen the world after all. Are these stoves really so useful?

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

After all, the concepts that Chen Jinkui has developed over the years are not easy to change. In his mind, thick skin, thick flesh, and low price are the only criteria for purchasing goods.

As for the principles Ren Xiaowei told them on the way and the various benefits of this stove, he still couldn't believe it.

But as they return home...

Place the stove in a vacant corner of the shop, set up the chimney and light the carbon fire, and warm heat will immediately roll out.

"Hey, what on earth is going on!" Chen Jinkui widened his eyes in surprise and asked Ren Xiaowei with disbelief on his face.

"Although the skin of this stove is thin, the principle of making it is also simple. The heat emitted can directly heat cold water, and the heat emitted is even greater!"

Ren Xiaowei patted the wall of the furnace as he spoke. Although he couldn't explain the principle clearly to him, it would still be okay to give him a brief explanation.

In particular, the high-pressure heating furnace they bought looks like a steam furnace. It is divided into sections that can be stacked one by one. There is a pressure gauge at the top to display the water pressure in the pot.

In this way, as long as you add water to the pot in advance, the entire steam stove can become a heat source. When the time comes, the stove itself can dissipate heat and easily warm the entire house.

"Wow, it's so warm! I'll sleep here tonight!" Liang Xiaotong clapped her hands happily and cheered, feeling that the five hundred yuan was well spent.

"It saves a lot of carbon and only burns a little!" Zhu Xiaoxue looked at Chen Jinkui and said with a smile.

"Of course, you are thin-skinned!" Chen Jinkui's heart moved when he said these words. No matter how Ren Xiaowei explained it just now, he seemed to understand it, but now he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

"Okay, great. Originally, I was worried that if I bought that big stove, the carbon wouldn't be enough for you to burn. Now I don't have to worry, haha..."

At this moment, the water in the steamer is boiling, the three steamers are radiating heat, and the high-pressure gauge at the top is chirping with hot air waves.

At this moment, they finally believed it. It turned out that Ren Xiaowei's insistence on buying this stove was so worthwhile. Up to now, the whole house became warm in just a moment.

Time passed little by little, and seeing the sky gradually getting dark, it was time for Chen Jinkui to leave.

"Don't send me off, go back, go back..." Chen Jinkui looked back at them and waved as he walked, his eyes turning slightly red unconsciously.

"Uncle Jin, please slow down on the road!" Zhu Xiaoxue waved her hands desperately and shouted loudly while looking into the distance.

"Slow down..." Ren Xiaowei and the others were also standing on the stone steps waving their hands. At this moment, there were gusts of cold wind all around and the temperature was dropping sharply.

It seemed that Chen Jinkui could no longer be seen.

They turned around and returned to the room. The moment they stepped into the door, they felt as if they suddenly came to life.

warm!

Comfortable!
