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

Chapter 359: Beautiful tail, the palace empress is undergoing transformation~
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?

Wu Youde smiled, looked at Xue Chunmei again, and glanced behind her twice.

Well, her movements are completely back to normal.

From the outside, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Aware of his gaze, Xue Chunmei's face turned slightly red, she reached out and brushed the hair around her ears, and at the same time glanced at Wu Youde with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Look what I'm doing, I'm not coaxing you."

Wu Youde raised his eyebrows at her and said with a smile: "I told you last night, sleep all night, and you can close it today and take a look, right?"

Xue Chunmei was ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "You still say that!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wu Youde was overjoyed. He was very excited when he thought about last night's scene. He turned to Qin Huairu and said, "Do you think her tail looked good yesterday? Does it look like a burning fox?"

Qin Huairu covered her mouth and smiled, nodding her head.

But the next moment, she was defeated by Wu Youde.

"It's your turn tonight~"

"..."

……

The three of them chatted while walking.

When passing by a shop selling cold drinks, Wu Youde was curious to see what the cold drinks of this era were like. It happened that neither Qin Huairu nor Xue Chunmei had tasted them.

So I walked in. The name of this cold drink shop was very simple. It was called "Miaoertang Cold Food Shop". When I walked in, I saw several iron buckets, and the iron buckets were surrounded by a white cotton cover.

There are popsicles and ice cream. Wu Youde looked at the popsicles, which looked like they were frozen with sugar water and had no shape.

However, the ice cream looked good, white and fragrant, with a sweet fragrance and a hint of coldness.

Wu Youde noticed that the eyes of Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei had changed, and they were looking straight at the ice cream in the iron bucket.

"Boss, how do you sell this ice cream?"

"One dollar and one bowl."

Wu Youde took a look and saw that this so-called bowl was actually rolled up with kraft paper, rolled sideways to form a tube, just like the ones commonly seen in later generations.

It's just that future generations can eat it, but this paper cannot be eaten.

Moreover, the cone is not big, and is similar to those of later generations. Just this one costs 1.5 yuan!

It can be said that blood is expensive!

No, when they heard the price, Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei looked away.

"Brother Wu, how about some popsicles?"

"You can also eat popsicles. They look good. How about I eat popsicles? Sister Ru, how about you guys eat this ice cream?"

"Look at how stingy you two are."

Wu Youde joked, and then told the boss four bowls.

After paying six yuan, the boss took the spoon and filled it into the cone. When the tip of the cone was slightly pointed, he stopped.

This made Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei very angry. They both asked for more. One said that one yuan and a half can buy two kilograms of eggs. The eggs you use for this bucket of ice cream are not enough for two kilograms, right?
Another said, even if you have milk and sugar here, you don't actually use much for this ice cream. I think the cost of an ice cream is only 50 cents at most.

The boss yelled that he would lose money and lose money. He also said that he would not make any money and could not even make a dime from an ice cream cone. The store was noisy and lively, but in the end they didn't talk to each other and piled four ice creams high.

The two happily left the cold drink shop with ice cream in hand.

……

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Seeing Wu Youde and the other three, Teacher Bai, who was taking a nap on the counter, was immediately surprised. She quickly stood up and went over to greet them.

"Eldest sister, second sister."

"Hey~ we went out to buy saltpeter and an electric fan. We passed by and came to see you."

Qin Huairu said with a smile. She looked at the store and then said with a smile: "Are you alone here?"

Teacher Bai said: "Well, I usually do it by myself. They all go out to collect things. They won't come back until it gets dark in the afternoon. Sister, eldest and second sisters, please sit down."

After getting along for a period of time, Teacher Bai has become much closer to Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei. She is older than both of them, but she can be called sister very easily.

"Here, I'll put these two electric fans here for you to use. It's not easy for you to be here because it's so hot."

Qin Huairu put the electric fan on the table and said with a smile: "And here is the ice cream!"

Teacher Bai was immediately moved.

Seeing this scene, Wu Youde found it quite interesting. Unknowingly, this girl Qin Huairu still has a bit of a lady-like demeanor?
He came in silently just now, just to see what she would do.

He never expected that his performance was very good, even better than he expected. What a surprise!

'Not bad, not bad, pretty good. '

Wu Youde nodded secretly in his heart.

He observed Xue Chunmei again and found that she was also performing very well. How should I put it...

Don't seek the limelight, don't steal words, just cooperate with Qin Huairu.

For example, Qin Huairu asked Teacher Bai to keep both of them in the store. After saying this, Xue Chunmei put the electric fan in her hand on the table. She had been carrying it in her hand before.

And the same goes for the ice cream. Qin Huairu spoke to Teacher Bai.

This discovery made Wu Youde couldn't help but take a high look at her!
It seems like everything has grown?
So when did it start?
Wu Youde thought about it in his mind and felt that it might have something to do with him letting Mr. Bai's family and Lin Cuiqing live here, even though he had repeatedly promised that a bowl of water would be served equally and he would not favor one over another.

But it must have made Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei realize that things are different now...

Sure enough, only when there is pressure can we make progress!

However, Wu Youde is happy to see this kind of progress. He has never thought of making all his women intimate with each other. That is simply impossible.

Even a pair of biological sisters cannot avoid conflicts and quarrels.

What's more, is this the case?
Wu Youde's principle is that it's okay to be jealous, but you can't make a fuss, let alone argue, which means you can't get into a fight, which will make everyone look bad.

He cannot tolerate this!

So now that Qin Huairu wants to establish her status as a big wife, Wu Youde naturally supports it. This is also his tacit approval. Besides, he also needs such a person to help him manage the back house.

When the back house is peaceful, he can live a comfortable life!
In the past, he was more interested in Chen Xueru.

In addition to having a bad eye for men, Boss Chen also has a bit of a love brain. In addition, she needs to be smart and smart. It should be easy for her to manage a back house.

But now it seems that Qin Huairu has started to hit the road...

That’s good, it’s justifiable for her to change her identity!

Wu Youde smiled and said to Teacher Bai: "Since your eldest sister said it, just accept it, we are all one family!

I asked you to pull the wire last time, did you pull it? "

Teacher Bai nodded and said with a smile: "I just installed it two days ago."

"That's good. Plug it in and try it. It will cool down."

After a pause,
Wu Youde added: "Write a sign and put it outside later. From today on, we will also collect saltpeter, saltpeter, and saltpeter powder here.

You want it to be of better quality and not mixed with too many impurities. The price can be slightly higher than the market price by 10%. This is all up to you. "

"okay, I get it."

……

It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that Wu Youde and others went home.

Teacher Bai also took a rare leave early today and came back with the three of them. When they entered the front yard, they saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the middle yard and inside.

There is one in their yard and one in the yard next door.

A group of people were noisy and talking there, and it sounded buzzing, like a swarm of flies...

Seeing this scene, Wu Youde and others felt anxious. They didn't know what was going on, and were they worried that something had happened to their family?
His pace involuntarily quickened, and as he got closer, he could hear some of the people's comments.

"Another one? Another one!"

"Oh my God!! How many units are there? How much does Wu Youde cost? He is too rich, isn't he?"

"Yes! This is Dongfang Hong brand. One unit costs more than 200 yuan. His family actually bought so many at once. How much does it cost?"

"I've counted them, there are eight in total. The boss who sent them back just now said that this electric fan is of good quality and produces strong wind. It costs 200 yuan per fan! I'm good at math and have already done the calculations for you. Electric fan...1,600 yuan!”

"hiss!!!"

"One thousand six hundred yuan?? My mother..."

"This is too wasteful, so wasteful! One thousand six hundred yuan, one thousand six hundred yuan! I have worked hard for five years without eating or drinking, and the most I can save is this little money!"

"That's not how the account is calculated. This electric fan needs to be powered on to be used. Think about it, such a big fan doesn't consume much electricity?

And this is not just one, there are eight! Eight! !
Add these eight together, how much electricity does it consume per day? Have you calculated the money? "

"Hiss...hiss, hiss..."

"How much money does Wu Youde have??? What a prodigal, what a fucking prodigal!"

……

Hear this,

Wu Youde couldn't listen anymore. Before he could speak, Qin Huairu couldn't hold it back anymore and shouted loudly: "What does it have to do with you buying things for my family?

My family can buy as many as they want without spending your money! "

Her voice was loud and she shouted with anger.

The people gathered around the gate of the central courtyard were talking. When they saw it, they saw three bicycles and four people.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.

They all belong to Wu Youde’s family!

Everyone suddenly became even more jealous. Damn, there are three bicycles. Is this even justified?
We are all human beings, so why are they so different? !

Qin Huairu has already spoken out, and Xue Chunmei is also true.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, "No matter what you look at, everyone is surrounding my door. The road is blocked. Let's drive!"

Teacher Bai added: "If you want to buy it, go ahead and buy it. Why do you care what others do? Eat the carrot first and don't worry about it."

Wu Youde found that he didn't need to speak at all.

He smiled and pushed his bicycle through the crowd into the central courtyard.

The boss who came to deliver the electric fan came in person. When he saw Wu Youde coming back, he said hello and asked Wu Youde to count the quantity. After confirming that it was correct, he said goodbye and left.

There are two rows of electric fans in the yard.

The scene looked a bit spectacular.

Most of the people gathered in the middle courtyard are people from the front and back yards of the hospital. Looking at the electric fans, their eyes are shining...
