Chapter 242 Thanks to Lin Gong for inventing the solar cooker
Yi Zhonghai came to the courtyard in a hurry.
Before I had time to install the solar cooker, I went to He Yuyu first.
As a result, He Yuyu was not at home. After helping the deaf old lady clean up the house, she went to play with Chen Zhiguo.
1 Auntie asked in confusion: "Lao Yi, if you don't install the solar cooker quickly, what are you doing with the rainwater?"
Yi Zhonghai was a little worried and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hey, it's okay. Go and call all the people in the courtyard who haven't paid to use the solar cooker and tell them that the solar cooker I bought is free for the neighbors to use."
"Okay, I'll call someone."
Although it is winter and the solar stove takes too long to boil a pot of water, it is still very convenient to heat the water and use it to wash the pots and dishes, and wash your hands and face.
It was exactly what Yi Zhonghai thought.
When everyone heard that the solar cooker he bought was free for the neighbors to use.
Everyone came out to watch the fun, and they didn't care that he was a hypocrite.
Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone had come to the middle courtyard, including Lin Zhen, Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui also came to watch the fun.
Yi Zhonghai instantly became happy again, feeling like he was Master 1 again.
Putting aside the worries just now, a long-awaited smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Dear young and old gentlemen, neighbors, some time ago, I brought you some troublesome things. After reflection over the past few months, I realized my mistakes. No one has ever made such mistakes. I hope you can give me some advice.
I have a chance to correct my mistakes as soon as I realize them."
…
People have different expressions, some are smiling, some are laughing, some are sneering and laughing.
Anyway, everyone had smiles on their faces, but no one wanted to talk to them immediately.
Yi Zhonghai didn't care and continued: "This solar cooker is a testimony that I corrected my mistakes. You can use it as you like. I don't want anyone to exchange money. Even if the reflective glass is broken, I won't let you repair it. It's a donation from me to our hospital."
Yes, anyone can use it!”
Yan Bugui smiled slightly, "Hey, Lao Yi, you should buy it earlier. It's winter now and there is less use. If you buy it, it will be better for me, so I won't have to buy it."
Yi Zhonghai said: "Isn't it difficult to buy some time ago?"
Liu Haizhong said: "This is enough, many people can use it, and hot water can be used in the winter."
Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the solar cooker is really a good thing. It is a one-time investment and a lifetime benefit. Except for the trouble in winter, it is really useful in summer!"
Liu Guangtian nodded and said: "Of course, it's not obvious to us. In places with little rainfall in the northwest and places with hot weather in the south, solar cookers are a treasure! Look at the solar cookers in our workshop, they have been transported to other places!
"
Liang Zidao: "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the inventor Lin Zhen. No, in front of the solar cooker, I should be called a Lin Gong!"
Liu Gen said with a smile: "That's true. Thank you for this and thank you for that. It's all empty. Without Lin Gong's invention, we wouldn't be able to buy a solar cooker with 25 yuan!"
"Yes, thanks to Lin Gong for inventing the solar cooker!"
"Hey! I heard that Lin Gong is still developing a solar cooker water heater. It is a second-generation product of the solar cooker. I really look forward to making it soon!"
Lin Zhen was so praised by everyone that he couldn't stand still.
"Okay, okay, please stop praising me. I'm just an ordinary engineer. He's much better than me. Look at the ceiling fan, the oscillating fan, and the rare black and white TV set. None of them are more complicated than a solar cooker.
too much."
"Oh~ I don't even have a radio at home, let alone a TV set. Only big leaders are qualified to watch that."
"Yes, there are too few electric fans to buy, but this solar cooker really helps us use it!"
"Yes, yes, thanks to you!"
Yi Zhonghai's heart felt like a jealous vat had been overturned.
I spent money to buy a solar cooker in order to win over my neighbors, but the neighbors all started praising Lin Zhen.
Did you spend money to buy it for Lin Zhen?
I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but I can't show it on my face.
Qiang Qiang said with a smile: "It's not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still warm. Who can boil water first?"
Liu Haizhong said calmly: "The one from Yuhua's that I have been using has already boiled a pot of hot water today, which is enough to burn my feet at night, so I won't join in the fun."
Several families in the backyard followed Liu Haizhong back.
There is no shortage of people in the front yard.
As for the two solar cookers, only Liu Gen'er's family didn't have them, but the family didn't want to come to the backyard and take advantage of Yi Zhonghai.
Only a few from the Central Hospital are willing to use it, but they are somewhat taboo and don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in Yizhonghai Gourd.
Buying a solar cooker for 25 yuan and letting people use it in vain?
In the end, only Lao Qi's family boiled a pot of hot water. Compared with the other three families, who had people queuing up every day for their solar stoves, almost no one cared about it.
The deaf old lady in the Silly Pillar House in the middle courtyard and the Jia Zhang family in Xihu are not in use, and He Yuyu is not at home.
After Lao Qi's family boiled the water, the solar stove was empty.
Yi Zhonghai entered the house disappointed, and his aunt advised: "Don't think so much. After a while, the old sister-in-law in Xihu will no longer have misunderstandings with you. She can cook with the solar stove every day and there are pillars. When she comes back next year, she will still be
I treat you like an uncle."
Upon hearing that Shazhu would be coming back next year, Yi Zhonghai became worried again.
I looked at the door and saw that the rain had not returned yet. The more I wanted to inquire, the more anxious I became.
"Honey, I'm going to take a nap. If the rain comes back, wake me up."
"Okay, I understand, you can go to sleep."
Lin Zhen was chatting with Yan Jiecheng and Liu Jianguo in the front yard, talking about how Yi Zhonghai bought a solar cooker for free and no one used it.
A bicycle suddenly stopped outside the door.
Enter a man in his forties.
"Excuse me, does Lin Zhen live in this courtyard?"
Lin Zhen saw that this man had a shrewd face and was not an honest worker. He had never seen him in his memory.
He smiled slightly and said: "I am, who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Ah! You are Master Lin. It's a pleasure to meet you. Can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"Okay, let's talk on the street at the door."
The visitor was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "There are a lot of people on the street, can I come into your house and sit down?"
If it had been anyone else, they would have been embarrassed to say some kind words and then invite them into the house.
But Lin Zhen is not someone else.
You, a stranger, came to see me. I told you my name and asked you who you were and why you were here, but you pretended to be mysterious and didn't answer, and even asked you to enter the house unceremoniously.
Then I'm sorry. If you have something to say, you'd better go to the street and tell me.
For those who don't understand etiquette and are arrogant, Lin Zhen will never accept it from the house.
"If your comrade doesn't want to say it here, let's go to the street and say it. My wife is coaxing the child at home, and there is some inconvenience."
"Well……"
"Stop it, who are you and what do you want from me?"
Lin Zhen hates these people who say half-truths and pretend to be mysterious.
How mysterious is it compared to a time traveler like me?
The shrewd middle-aged man smiled slightly and looked at Yan Jiecheng and Liu Jianguo.
He whispered: "I came from Panjiayuan."
"Oh, that's it. What's the matter?"
"I have already told you where you are from, can you come into the house and tell me?"
"Come on, come on, I'll find a quiet place for you, don't talk halfway, I hate people who tell you the truth!"
Lin Zhen grabbed the visitor's wrist, exerted a slight force on his hand, and pulled him out of the gate like he was trying to pull a child.
I think you, Panjiayuan, are an antiquarian. Do you still want to be restored at this time?
I thought where did the great master come from, but it turned out to be from Panjiayuan. I probably found out something.
There are many antiques that Xu Damao bought when he went to the countryside to hide in his house, let alone let him enter the house.
Lin Zhen dragged him to the backyard of Yeqi Clinic at the entrance of the alley.
"Comrade, tell me, no one comes to the backyard of this clinic. What do you want from me?"
The man rubbed his wrists and took a breath of air.
"Hey, Master Lin is so strong, but his temperament is a bit impatient."
"Not only are you anxious, but you are also irritable. Comrade, what is your name? What do you want from me? If you don't tell me, I will leave."
"No, no, no, no, my name is Zhang Yuanzheng. I have nothing to do with you. I just want to chase something."
"what?"
"Hey, let's not talk secretly. We are all experts, so don't pretend to be laymen. My ancestors ran an antique shop. Although it is a new era, like you, we still have the same old roots."
"etc!"
Lin Zhen immediately interrupted Zhang Yuanzheng.
"Stop talking, I'm different from you. My ancestors were rural tenants who farmed land for landlords. Now I have no relatives in my hometown and I work alone in a steel rolling mill. Don't blame me blindly."
"Oh~ Master Lin was joking. I found out all about it, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
"What on earth is going on?"
"Whether you are pretending to be confused or you really don't know, I will tell you and you will understand."
"Then you should tell me!"
"Hey, this summer, I went to Dongxiang and came across an official kiln plate from the mid-Qing Dynasty. It is said that there were so many official kiln plates in the Qing Dynasty that I wished I could smash the pits, but that plate was very special. I had a chance to go there the day before yesterday.
Dongxiang, I was going to buy it back for a few dollars, but I heard someone said that the plate was bought by a projectionist for a dime."
Lin Zhen's heart moved. Isn't the plate he was talking about the same one that Xu Damao asked Shen Cuizhen to bring back last time?
It is indeed very special. It was used by the Qing Palace and is of high quality.
In the 21st century, it would cost more than half a million.
But I don’t know how he found out that he was here.
Zhang Yuanzheng continued: "Finally, I asked Village Chief Niu who had stepped down and found out that the projectionist bought it to be used as a fruit plate for the engineers in the hospital. When I came back, I asked again and found out that you are the only engineer in your hospital. Don't worry.
, I inquired secretly, without even looking for the projectionist. I know the connections here, and I will definitely keep them a secret for you and will not publicize them."
Lin Zhen laughed after hearing this, "Hey! What a big deal, you are really overthinking it. Isn't it just that broken plate? I'll get it for you right now, you! You are as mysterious as an enemy agent.
As for that? I’m not into antiques, just wait!”
"Don't worry, I am a person who understands the rules. I will pay as much as I want and keep it strictly confidential. We will be able to cooperate for a long time in the future. No matter how the situation changes, I will definitely keep it confidential."
"You really have found the wrong person. I'll bring it to you in a moment. It's really just for serving as a plate, not for display at home."
"Really?!!!" Zhang Yuanzheng was extremely happy. He originally planned to buy it for about ten yuan.
"Of course it's true. Just don't come to me mysteriously in the future."
Lin Zhen left with a smile, but felt like a beeping dog in his heart.
I often walk by the river, and how can I not get my shoes wet? Sooner or later, what is supposed to come will come. It seems that Xu Damao is more cautious when collecting things in the countryside. Zhang Yuanzheng needs to investigate this clearly.
