Chapter 448 I'm going to install a hot water stove
Tao Guangming snorted: "If you fart, hurry up."
Li Wenjun said: "Do you still remember the fortune-enhancing Pixiu that I bought from you and gave to Section Chief Qi of the Municipal Steel Plant?"
Tao Guangming is now fully awake: "Hmm. What's wrong?"
Li Wenjun laughed: "If you don't believe me, it's back in my hands again."
Tao Guangming was stunned for a while before saying, "Ah?!"
Li Wenjun said: "I want to ask you what's going on."
Tao Guangming said: "The man surnamed Qi brought this lucky Pixiu to my counter and asked for the price. Then I paid it for 100 yuan, then put it in a box with a price of 200 and put it on the counter again.
Oh my God, the salesperson told me that it was sold again. Unexpectedly, the new buyer actually bought it for you."
Li Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It turns out that Factory Director Qi was so eager to sell it and sold it so cheaply. You really don't know the goods. You made another hundred dollars in vain."
Tao Guangming said: "Originally I wanted to offer three hundred. But then I was afraid that people with the same surname would make trouble, so I offered two hundred, and I felt a little distressed. If it comes back to you again, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the meat will rot in the pot.
It’s in.”
Li Wenjun sighed: "It's very difficult for me to hold it now."
If you show it, the people in the mine will soon figure out what Li Wenjun is looking for the black stone for.
If Tao Guangming sells it again, he seems to be sorry for Director Mo.
It can only be placed in the cabinet.
Tao Guangming laughed and screamed like a goose: "Uh-huh, what's the problem? I'll give my family some paperweights from now on."
------
Li Changming and his colleagues left the stove there for five days before it was officially put into use.
Li Wenjun and the others went back to Li Changming and the others for dinner.
When washing the dishes in the evening, Li Wenjun was afraid that Liu Cuihong would be burned, so he repeatedly told her to turn on the cold water first, and then slowly adjust the hot water. To the left is hot, and to the right is cold.
Although he installed a temperature control valve, he still had to be careful.
Liu Cuihong exclaimed while using it: "Oh, it's so convenient. Hot water comes as soon as it is turned on. It is much more convenient than boiling water before."
Li Wenjun smiled and said, "As long as it works well." This design was the safest, most reasonable and most convenient design that his factory had tested many times at that time.
Liu Cuihong said: "Oh, the weather has been hot these two days. I won't know if the shower is useful until it gets cold."
As if God heard Liu Cuihong's words, the temperature dropped at night.
It's autumn all night, and it's a bit cold to wash at home with cold water or with hot water in a bucket.
The big bathhouse in the mining area was also opened, and many people went to take a bath in the big bathhouse in the mining area.
Gu Zhanyan and the others took a hot shower at night, which was much more convenient than before.
When Liu Cuihong was working the next day, she showed off to Aunt Cao: "Oh, my Junjun's hot-water shower is very useful. As soon as I turn on the hot water, it comes. It's so convenient to wash dishes and take a bath. I don't have to go to the bathhouse anymore."
It’s so far inside.”
In order to prevent everyone from wasting the bathhouse, the water was cut off every half hour, forcing everyone to come out and let another group of people go in.
This made everyone complain a lot.
Especially Aunt Cao, who likes to take all her clothes to the bathhouse and wash them with hot water, which makes her even more irritated. The water often stops midway through washing, and if it's winter, it's easy to catch a cold.
No, Aunt Cao had a stuffy nose when she came back from taking a bath in the bathhouse yesterday.
So Aunt Cao was attracted when she heard that Liu Cuihong's hot water system was easy to use and did not require electricity or a separate fire.
If she installs one at home, she won't have to run so far to the bathhouse in the coldest winter, and it will be convenient to wash dishes at home.
She asked Liu Cuihong: "Can you please help Master Jun to install one for us?"
Liu Cuihong smiled: "Okay, if you pay, there's nothing wrong with it."
When Aunt Cao heard that she wanted more money, she felt unhappy. But think about the stainless steel plates, cement bricks, etc., they all cost money. It was impossible for Li Wenjun to pay for the work.
She forced a smile and said, "Okay, ask your military commander how much it costs to install one. But since we are so familiar with each other, we can just ask him to charge a cost."
------
Liu Cuihong came back and said to Li Wenjun: "Junjun, I helped you get a business back."
Li Wenjun: "Huh? What?"
Liu Cuihong: "Aunt Cao said that our hot water stove is good and she wants to make one. How much does it cost?"
Li Wenjun silently calculated in his mind that the total cost of materials and labor exceeded 20 yuan.
Come to think of it, Aunt Cao usually works with Liu Cuihong, and Liu Cuihong doesn't give her much salary. It's just a favor for selling Liu Cuihong and giving Aunt Cao employee benefits. I just charge her a round figure.
Li Wenjun said: "If Aunt Cao wants to make it, I will charge her 20 yuan for the cost. If someone asks you again, you have to say 25 yuan."
Liu Cuihong: "Okay, I'll go talk to her."
-----
Liu Cuihong ran to Aunt Cao again and said, "My Junjun said he would charge you 20 yuan a head. Will you do it?"
When Aunt Cao heard this, she became furious and secretly gritted her teeth: "Isn't this just blackmail? A box with several pipes costs twenty yuan?!"
She said with a smile: "Oh, that's too expensive. I'm embarrassed to let Master Jun lose money. Forget it, we won't do it. Ordinary intellectuals like us can't afford it at home."
When Liu Cuihong heard her strange expression, she secretly rolled her eyes: "I don't want to give up money, but I also want to be comfortable. How can such a good thing happen? Do you still think that my army will give it to you for free?"
She also smiled faintly: "It's okay. My Junjun also said that this is a thankless and unprofitable thing. If Aunt Cao wants to do it, he will help with it at the cost price. If it were in other people's homes, he would not bother to pay for it.
God, you can’t make any money even if you charge twenty-five dollars to someone else.”
Aunt Cao waved her hands hurriedly: "Don't bother him anymore."
-----
At dinner in the evening, Aunt Cao couldn't help complaining at the dinner table: "Oh, that Li Wenjun, he really got into money now. A hot water stove actually costs 20 yuan, and he said it was just a cost, and he made no money.
.Isn’t it just a few pieces of iron sheets welded together? I think it costs even five yuan.”
Uncle Su said: "You are the same. You are jealous when you see everything in his house. You are also jealous of installing a hot water stove. Why don't you just go to the bathhouse and wash yourself?"
Aunt Cao's eyes turned red when she heard this: "What do you know? I have to wash all your clothes by hand. The water in the winter is so cold that it causes serious frostbite on my hands every year, which is painful and itchy. If there is such a thing at home,
Zao, if I wash my clothes with hot water, it won’t be so hard. You two just work as shopkeepers, so of course it doesn’t matter. From today on, you can wash your clothes by yourself.”
After saying that, she slapped her chopsticks on the table and left angrily.
Uncle Su and Su Yushiwei didn't expect Aunt Cao to have such a big reaction, and looked at each other in confusion.
Su Yuzhou thought for a while and said, "Twenty yuan is really too much. Our school also has welders and fitters. I'm going to ask if they can do it. It's just a hot water stove. How can it be so difficult?"
Uncle Su said: "Then you go and ask. If you don't steam the steamed buns, you can win the reputation. Li Wenjun is asking for a lot of money, so we will find a way to build this hot water stove ourselves."
