Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Chapter 359: Beautiful tail, the palace empress is undergoing transformation (page 12)

The next morning,

Le Wenyuan rushed over again and took away Wu Youde's letter and two sealed bottles of Dingkun wine.

Wu Youde asked him how long it would take for the letter to be delivered to Margaret.

Le Wenyuan said that the fastest round trip would take half a month.

On the fifteenth day, Wu Youde sighed, but he could only accept it. He thought of something.

In the past, carriages were very slow, letters were far away, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person;

Nowadays, the mountains and seas can be leveled, the brocade books have disappeared, and it is difficult to find a human heart in the world.

Sending Le Wenyuan away,

Wu Youde asked Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei to go out with him. He was going to buy some saltpeter and some electric fans.

Naturally, the purpose of buying saltpeter is to make ice.

Making ice from saltpeter is very simple. Mix saltpeter powder and water together. When the saltpeter dissolves in water, it will absorb a lot of heat, which can lower the temperature of the water to 0 degrees and freeze.

Why not just buy ice?

Because Wu Youde has no ice cellar or refrigerator at home.

After buying a bunch of ice cubes, they would have melted before the next day. Due to the constraints, he decided to buy saltpeter.

Although saltpeter is expensive, it is easy to store and use. The expensive price doesn't matter to him.

Three people and two bicycles went out and went straight to the front door.

The front door is large, there is a lot of traffic, and the business environment is prosperous, with everything for sale.

First we went to an ice shop and told them our purpose.

The boss was a little embarrassed when he heard that instead of buying ice, he wanted to buy saltpeter. Wu Youde said that he could add more money, but the boss was still a little embarrassed.

Wu Youde asked again and realized that he had taken it for granted.

The boss said that the quantity of saltpeter was small and difficult to buy. Although they had it in the store, they had to use it themselves. He also said that the ice in most ice shops in the capital was ice stored in winter.

Digging and hiding ice in winter is equivalent to a costless business. You only need to pay labor force. In winter, the rivers are full of ice, so you can dig it as you like.

But if saltpeter is used to make ice, the price will be high.

I chatted with the boss for a while,

Wu Youde bought five hundred kilograms of saltpeter from the other party at a high price of one yuan per kilogram. He paid a deposit of one hundred yuan first, and then the other party delivered it to his home and paid the rest.

Five hundred pounds of saltpeter costs five hundred yuan.

Wu Youde felt that he had been wronged!

But there is nothing I can do. Who wants to use it in a hurry? Moreover, I have no channel to buy it, so I can only pay a premium in ice stores.

In this era, productivity and industrial technology are backward, and very few saltpeter mines have been discovered, so the output of saltpeter is very low.

Of course, saltpeter can also be extracted from saltpeter soil, but Wu Youde does not yet have contact information for such manufacturers.

Being able to buy five hundred catties at once is already pretty good.

From the boss, Wu Youde also learned information that saltpeter can be collected from ordinary people.

There are many white crystal objects on the walls, especially the toilet walls.

This thing is saltpeter.

Many people will go to these places to scrape off the saltpeter, collect it, and then save a lot to sell in ice stores. It is also a cost-free business and can make a small amount of money to spend.

After listening, Wu Youde had an idea.

Subsequently,

He took Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei to a shop selling electrical appliances. When he saw the electric fan, he was speechless.

Dongfanghong brand electric fan.

It's ugly, simple, and has a single function. There are no gears, only switches.

Just this...two hundred yuan!

If you don’t bring a counter-offer, you may want to buy it or not, but if you don’t buy it, you will be dumped. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about selling this thing in the summer.

The boss was very tough, but Wu Youde was even tougher than him. He said directly: "I will buy ten of them, how much will they cost?"

What?

Ten? ?

Boss Teng stood up, looked at Wu Youde with wide eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Comrade, how many do you want to buy?"

"Ten." Wu Youde said calmly.

Guangnan Luogu Lane has to use several. Qin Huairu, Xue Chunmei, Lin Cuiqing, Teacher Bai, and Lin Cuizhi have to put one in each room for five people.

In addition to them, there are also the living room, kitchen, and He Yuyu's room.

That's three more.

That adds up to eight.

The remaining two will be sent to Teacher Bai at the junk recycling store later. He told her to buy them last time, but Wu Youde guessed that she definitely didn't buy them.

Seeing that Wu Youde didn't seem to be joking, and seeing that the three of them were very well-dressed, the smile on the boss's face became even brighter.

"Come on, sit down, don't stand!"

"You're welcome, feel free to sit down. Wait a moment while I make you some tea."

Money is always the boss!

Wu Youde was too lazy to sit down, let alone drink tea. The tea was definitely not good tea. He waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't be busy. Let's just talk about the price. Boss, I'll buy ten units at a time. Tell me something." Real price.

If it works, I'll buy it; if it doesn't, I'll look elsewhere.

Let's not waste any time! "

"Okay, okay, wait a moment..."

The boss went to the counter and started fiddling with the abacus. After about two minutes, he chuckled and said, "Comrade, I'll give you ten yuan cheaper for one unit, one hundred and ninety, you..."

"Hey, hey, don't leave!"

"Comrade, if you think it's inappropriate, let's talk about it later!"

The boss rushed to the door and stopped in front of Wu Youde.

Qin Huairu said: "Boss, you are too stingy. We bought so much at once, and it was so cheap for you. There is no sincerity at all!"

"Hey... Madam, you don't know something. The store's profits are very thin. Each unit is ten yuan cheaper. Ten units are all cheap..."

"One hundred and eighty, one hundred and eighty, we will buy it!" Qin Huairu said crisply.

The boss looked confused, "This..."

"Brother Wu, let's go look elsewhere." Qin Huairu looked at Wu Youde.

"No, no, no, I'll sell it. Isn't it okay if I sell it?" The boss cried sadly.

……

Ten Dongfanghong brand electric fans were sold for a total price of 1,800 yuan.

Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei each carried an electric fan, and the boss had to ask someone to send the remaining eight units back.

"Put it on the back seat and push it. It's too heavy to hold."

Wu Youde weighed it. Even though this electric fan was very simple, it weighed quite a lot. It was estimated to weigh twenty kilograms.

There was an electric fan placed on both bicycles. The sight of this scene made passers-by on the street look sideways with envy in their eyes.

It’s already extraordinary for an ordinary family to have just one bicycle. This family not only owns two bicycles, but they also buy an electric fan...

What a waste of money!

"Not bad, this bargaining almost cut off the boss's arm, haha!"

Wu Youde joked, and when he saw that both of their faces were flushed with sweat, he asked again: "Is it hot?"

"Hehe~ It's not hot!"

Qin Huairu shook his head and smiled like a flower.

At this moment, she was listening to the comments of the passers-by and their envious looks. She was feeling beautiful in her heart, enjoying herself very much and feeling light all over.

Where do you feel tired?
