Chapter 865 Outrageous Electricity Bill

Isn't shamanism a celestial being?
Cai Gen was a little confused. He used to go to some tourist attractions with his wife and saw shaman performances. It is true that beating the Wenwang drum is similar to dancing the gods?
"Uncle Tong, I don't have much culture, isn't it the same thing?"

Tong Aiguo's eyes were full of contempt, and just as he was about to explain to Cai Gen, he heard a sound coming from the direction of the balcony.

The voice was not too loud, but it still attracted Cai Gen's attention.

It can be seen that there is a solid wood cabinet on the balcony, which is very old, a bit like an old-fashioned dish shelf.

The lower half was covered by a curtain, and the sound came from behind the curtain.

Seeing Cai Gen keep looking around, Tong Aiguo walked over and slapped the countertop of the cabinet with his hand.

"Why aren't you honest? Get used to it, stop."

What's going on, can you understand people's words?
What is that?

"Uncle Tong, do you still have pets at home?"

Tong Aiguo didn't want to discuss this topic with Cai Gen, so he just talked casually.

"No, there's a problem with rats, it's like this in old buildings.

By the way, are you done? "

Cai Gen glanced at his phone, and expected to come to the door for about half an hour.

It's only been more than ten minutes since I came here, so I cut corners a bit when I finished talking.

"Uncle Tong, every time we come to the door, it takes half an hour, what do you think I need to do?
For example, change a light bulb, put on a window grille, cut a nail, pay a utility bill and so on.

Or, you need me to chat with you about anything, time is not in a hurry, your satisfaction is the most important thing. "

"Ah, you can still pay the utility bills. That's a good thing. Just wait, I'll get you the electricity bill."

With that said, Tong Aiguo walked to another room, leaving Cai Gen alone.

Although Tong Aiguo hid it well just now, Cai Gen still felt that there was something strange behind the curtain on the balcony, and it was definitely not a rat.

What kind of mouse, it can bite through reinforced concrete, if it can, it is also a mouse spirit.

Taking advantage of Tong Aiguo's return, Cai Gen quickly walked to the balcony and swiftly raised the curtain.

I go.

Just looking at it, Cai Gen's face changed, and he quickly put down the curtain and returned to the chair.

Although the movement is not very big, the breathing is still a bit disordered due to tension.

Coincidentally, Tong Aiguo came back and saw that Cai Gen's expression was not right, so he looked in the direction of the balcony from the corner of his eye.

Keenly discovered that the originally three folded cloth curtain had become two, and she had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"You said just now that your name is Cai Gen, right?

The surname is Cai, so your ancestors have some background. "

Cai Gen's mind is a little confused now, he doesn't understand why the old man suddenly mentioned his surname, and numbly echoed it.

"Ah, I don't know, what's the origin?"

Tong Aiguo seemed to be pointing something, full of deep meaning.

"The surname Cai, there are probably three sources.

The first is derived from the surname Ji, who is a collateral descendant of Zhou Wenwang Jichang.

The second is derived from the surname Ji, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, who is mainly a high-ranking official who did sacrifices.

The third is the Jurchen, the Chinese surname of Cai Jia's family, and one of the Eight Banners.

Are you Manchu? "

Cai Gen was a little confused, what is this all about?

Speaking of Manchu, he subconsciously nodded, then shook his head again.

"My identity card is Han, but I have a quarter of Manchu blood, and my grandfather is Manchu."

Seeing Cai Gen nodding, Tong Aiguo's eyes lit up, but when he heard that he was only a quarter of Manchu blood, his eyes dimmed again.

"Oh, that's it. If I didn't say it, you are just an ordinary person. Don't think too much about it."

Halo, I didn't think much about it, it was you who said I had a background.

It started messing around again, didn't Cai Gen feel a little confused.

"Uncle Tong, give me your electricity bill, and I will pay you the electricity bill."

Tong Aiguo seems to have forgotten about the electricity bill, or there are more important things.

"Xiao Cai, what did you see on the balcony?"

This 100-year-old life is indeed not in vain.

Did you just explain it directly?
Cai Gen was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and he wanted to do something serious, so why couldn't he let himself go?
Qiang Zi calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave Tong Aiguo one, lit it politely, and lit one himself.

During this process, Tong Aiguo kept staring into Cai Gen's eyes.

Cai Gen kept his eyes unmoved.

The short action made Cai Gen make up his mind, he is an ordinary person, don't think too much.

"Ah, I didn't see anything, I want to see if there is a mouse hole, and I can help you plug it.

It turned out to be empty, nothing to see.

Next time I come, I'll bring you a few sticky mouse boards. If Huo Huo eats it, it will be so shocking. "

Seeing that Cai Gen didn't seem to be telling a lie, Tong Aiguo smiled slightly, and handed Cai Gen a list and some red tickets.

"Go and pay the electricity bill for me. Bring me the receipt next time. Don't try to run away. I know your company address."

Cai Gen got the money and the electricity bill, and took out his mobile phone.

"No, I'll pay you now with my mobile phone, it's very convenient, just enter the meter number, and then enter the amount.

ah?Uncle, is there an electricity leakage in your house? The electricity bill is more than 700 a month? "

It’s not surprising that Cai Gen was surprised. Civilian electricity used to be 700 cents at a time, and more than 40 is [-] Baidu electricity. More than [-] electrons per day?

In my own shop, there is steamed rice again, and I am open for business, and the commercial electricity costs one yuan, which is only one thousand degrees per month.

Even if it is a tiered electricity price, tens of kilowatt-hours of electricity a day is a bit strange.

Tong Aiguo didn't expect Cai Gen to be so sensitive, and couldn't find any good excuses for a while, so he hesitated a little.

"Ah, I have many houses and many lights."

Okay, this excuse is really not distracting, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask.

Cai Gen paid the electricity bill honestly, and then showed Tong Aiguo the electronic receipt.

"Uncle Tong, the payment is over, there is no receipt, only the electronic version, take a look, the payment is over.

I can pay water bills, electricity bills, internet bills, and telephone bills, so I won't have to go outside to pay in the future. "

Tong Aiguo pretended to look at it, showing a very cautious look, but actually didn't take it to heart at all.

"Okay, see you next year. It's time for me to have lunch, so I won't keep you."

Is it necessary to use this excuse to drive people away?
In fact, Cai Gen wanted to leave a long time ago, so he stood up and followed Tong Aiguo out.

Passing by a room that looked like a storage room, it was very dark but still attracted Cai Gen's attention.

There was actually a large commercial freezer inside, not the 1.2-meter freezer, but the two-meter-long freezer for wholesale ice cream.

The surface of the white steel reflects a faint light in the dark. If Cai Gen hadn't seen it, he would definitely not be able to recognize it.

No wonder the electricity bill is high. This thing is running 24 hours a day, and it consumes electricity. This may be the reason for the high electricity bill.

So why not just say it?

Why do you have such a big freezer at home?
With all kinds of doubts, Cai Gen walked out of Tong Aiguo.

When I rode the battery car to the store, I was still absent-minded.

My mind is full of pictures behind the curtain of the balcony cupboard, it is too weird.
