Chapter 398 Friendship Store
"Okay, don't care about them anymore, let's take a break!"
"Yeah!"
Of course, you must have to make a lot of trouble before going to bed, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep!
To be honest, the weather is really not suitable for trouble now, because it is too hot!
Although there is a fan blowing, it doesn’t matter what it is. It would be great if there is an air conditioner.
But this is impossible. Don’t say that there is no, even if there is one, there is no way to install it. Because of the line problem, it can’t be pulled at all.
After the trouble, Li Jia lit a cigarette and said, "No, I will go find someone to change the route tomorrow."
"What are you doing when changing the route?"
"I plan to install air conditioner at home."
"Installation? Are there any air conditioners sold now?" Lin Ling'er asked.
"There is no production in China yet, but I know there is one place."
"Oh! Where?"
"Friendship Store, there are many foreign products there, and there must be air conditioners, because I see many places that have them."
Yes, since the Friendship Store was built, the department store’s foreign-related stores have been closed, and all foreign-related materials have to be bought at Friendship Store.
"Friendship Store! There are indeed air conditioners sold there, but they need a large amount." Lin Ling'er said.
Although it has been changed to open at this time, there are no foreign exchange coupons yet, because the foreign exchange coupons were issued on April 1, 1980.
So at present, you still need to use a U.S. knife when buying things at Friendship Store, and what Li Jiayi lacks the least is U.S. knife.
Although he basically invested in the Japanese devils in his space, it does not mean that he did not leave any.
Besides, even if you don’t keep it, is it difficult for him to have a little bit of US dollars? Go out for a walk and you can get the money to buy an air conditioner.
"I'll solve the problem with the US, but before buying the air conditioner, I still have to replace the wires."
"Well! The lines in our hospital are all old lines, and there is no way to use high-power electrical appliances."
"Yes."
Of course, Li Jiayi did not intend to change the routes for the entire hospital. He only changed his home and also changed the East Hospital.
Although the East Courtyard is now rented to He Yuzhu, the house belongs to him! So we must change it together.
And he had already thought about it that he would pull a single thread and not let the people in the yard get involved.
No words all night.
After dinner the next morning, Li Jiayi drove out. He didn't go to a hotel or company, but went directly to the power supply center.
Yes, it is Xinjiekou Power Supply Station.
"Hello!" Li Jiayi came to the door of an office and greeted a staff member inside.
"Is there anything you have to do?"
"It's like this. The wires in our yard are aging. I want to change them again."
"You want to change the wire?"
"Yes, can't you change it?"
"This is not the case. If you want to change the wire, you need to spend your own money."
"No problem, but I want to pull one by myself, and it's better to be thicker first."
"Yes, you pay for it yourself anyway, you can use any thread you want."
"Yeah!"
Li Jia's two cross-patient departments have long used electricity meters alone and are not involved in the hospital.
You should know that in addition to his home, the entire No. 7 courtyard also uses a power meter.
Yes, it is to use an electricity meter and pay the electricity bill every month, which is calculated based on how many light bulbs there are at home and how many watts the light bulb is.
Of course, it includes whether there is a TV or a radio.
Only Li Jia's family does not need it because his family has a separate electricity meter, so the amount of money they should pay is as much as they should.
As for why so many stores in the hospital do not use electricity meter separately, it is because the electricity meter is too expensive.
You must know that electricity meter is a precision instrument! A electricity meter costs more than one hundred yuan, which many families can't afford.
After a while, the two electricians followed Li Jiayi to the No. 7 courtyard with two plates of six square lines and several plates of four square lines.
The wires used by Li Jia's family are now in the yard, but only a watch is added.
But now he didn't plan to do this, but pulled the line again and did not go in front, but pulled it in from the back of the room.
Because there are also telephone poles behind it, since it is a separate wire, it doesn’t matter where it is pulled.
Anyway, they all belong to Xinjiekou Power Supply Station.
After the electrician came, he quickly pinched the original wire and unloaded the meter.
The wire is no longer used, but the meter can still be used. This does not need to be replaced, it just needs to be changed.
Two electricians, one changed to his hospital and the other changed to the East Hospital.
"Add one! What is this for?" the deaf old lady came over and asked.
"Old lady, these lines are a bit aging, so I asked the power supply station to change the cable again."
"That's it!"
Although He Yuzhu lives in the East Courtyard, it has little to do with him, don’t forget that the house is his. Besides, it won’t cost much to change the line.
"Old lady, I will bring you a chair and sit down and you will be replaced soon."
"No, no, I'm not tired."
"How can that work? You should sit down! Don't fall."
According to the normal trajectory, the old lady should have disappeared a few years ago, but the old lady is still alive now. Not only that, she is in very good health and doesn't even need a crutch.
Li Jiayi knew that this was because of the effect of Lingquan water, so let’s put it this way! If the old lady had been living here all the time, she would probably have lived for a long time.
You should know that this spiritual spring water is not covered, it has special effects on prolonging life and slowing down aging.
For example, his parents are in their fifties now, but if you say that they are thirty years old, they all believe them.
Not to mention Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er, especially Li Jiayi, it seems that his age has stopped.
"You little brat, I'm in good health! Why did you fall?"
"Old lady, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something. You should sit down and rest!" Li Jiayi brought a chair and put it down and said.
"Okay!"
This time, Li Jiayi not only changed the outside wires, but also changed all the wires in the house.
The outside wire uses six square copper wires, and the inside of the house uses four square copper wires.
You should know that this copper wire is much more expensive than aluminum wire, and only Li Jiayi can use it.
You should know that the entire compound uses aluminum wire of 2.5 square meters! This is also the reason why you can't pull up high-power appliances.
The wire outside is easier to pull, and it was done in less than twenty minutes. The main reason is that the room is more troublesome because it needs to be re-arranged.
However, having money can make the devil push the mill. With money opening the way, electricians have nothing to say at all.
I hurriedly rushed, and finally, before noon, I re-lined all the lines.
Li Jia paid for a wire and gave two electricians another five yuan to each of them.
This must be given. You should know that electricians usually only connect external lines, which are wires other than the meter.
The lines in the house like this have nothing to do with others.
Of course, giving five dollars to each person is a bit too much, not that he has to give five dollars, but the main reason is that he is not short of money.
Five dollars may be a two or three-day salary for others, but it is nothing to him.
Originally, Li Jiayi wanted to keep two electricians for a meal, but the other person did not agree.
Yes, after only one morning of work, people gave me five dollars and left it for dinner, how could I be embarrassed?
"I'm back, too." The old lady stood up and said at this time.
"Old lady, don't you stay for a meal?" "No, I'll just get some food when I go back."
"Okay, then you can slow down."
The old lady is in good health, and cooking is a trivial matter for her.
Now He Yuzhu comes back late every day, and basically the old lady cooks dinner.
After the old lady returned, Li Jiayi also came to the house, plugged in the electric fan, and turned it on.
After thinking about it, Li Jiayi came upstairs, closed the door from inside, and entered the space directly.
He won’t cook on such a hot day! This is also the reason why he did not insist on keeping the old lady.
It's more comfortable in the space!
Take some food out of the stationary space, deal with it casually, and take a nap in the space.
At around 2:00 p.m., Li Jiayi took a shower and came out of the space.
Then I drove to the Friendship Store.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
There are many people at the entrance of the Friendship Store. These people are not here to buy things. Some of them are reselling American dollars, and most of them come here to watch the fun.
Of course, these people who watch the fun and the strange things are all people who are fine, either without a job or who are resting at work.
As soon as Li Jiayi stopped the car, several people surrounded him.
"Comrade, do you have a good deal? I'll exchange it at a high price."
"Sorry, I'm not enough for myself." Li Jiayi said.
Needless to say, these people are just the ones who are fighting for the US.
It's okay now. In two years, these people should buy foreign exchange coupons. It was really crazy at that time.
But even now, these people are crazy enough! Someone paid three to five yuan.
No matter how many, Li Jiayi was not going to change it.
The main reason is that he doesn’t have many American dollars on him, and he doesn’t even care about this difference.
With this time, he can't do anything casually!
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, the few people around him left.
Li Jia parked his car, locked it and walked inside.
Have you ever seen someone with a door outside the mall? No, that's what Friendship Store is like.
And the door is still closed.
"Open the door." Li Jiayi came to the gate and shouted to the duty staff at the booth.
"No entry here."
Li Jia quickly took out a US knife from his pocket and shook it at the duty staff at the booth.
Seeing the American knife, the staff on duty ran out quickly, opened the door and said, "Come in!"
"Thank you."
As soon as Li Jiayi stepped in, the on-duty staff immediately closed the door again.
This is the friendship store at this time, where they only accept foreigners.
Of course, there are also Chinese people holding American swords.
Foreigners don’t need to take out the US dollar, just let it go. If Chinese people don’t, no matter who you are, you will never let you in without the US dollar.
When he came to the Friendship Store, Li Jia kept selling air conditioners.
In fact, the department store also has air conditioners, but it is just that kind of cabinet-type air conditioner, which is integrated.
And only cooling is the kind that is installed on the window and blows cool breeze inside.
The Friendship Store sells differently here, and the air conditioners sold here are all imported.
Separate internal and external units.
"Hello, how much does this air conditioner cost?" Li Jiayi asked, pointing to a very good-looking air conditioner.
"Two thousand six."
"So expensive?"
"Yes, the air conditioner you are referring to is the most expensive, there are cheapest ones, this one is one thousand eight, and this one is two thousand three."
You must know that all the ones used here are American! Even if it is 1,800 yuan, it is a sky-high price.
No wonder here is basically only doing foreign business, which is how many Chinese people can afford it.
Even if you can afford it, not many people will buy it.
This is not to say that there is no such money, but to spend so much money just buying an air conditioner, which is a bit unprofitable.
Li Jia thought for a while, pointed to the 2,600-6 and said, "I want three of this one."
"Are you sure?"
"Confirm, I'll issue the invoice now, oh! By the way, are you responsible for the installation?"
"Of course, we are not only responsible for installation, but also deliver goods to our door."
Yes, this thing is a high-end product in this era!
Unlike later generations, you can just find someone who repairs the air conditioner to install it. In this era, only those who sell this thing can install it.
Soon the salesperson issued the ticket, and then Li Jiayi took the ticket to pay.
One machine has two thousand six hundred dollars, and three machines are seven thousand eight.
For others, they may not be able to make so much money in their entire lives, and Li Jiayi can’t use it even if he holds a pill.
After paying the money, Li Jia put away the extra money and went back with the ticket that had been stamped on the cashier.
"Give it to you." Li Jia handed over a ticket.
"Please leave an address here, and arrange someone to send it to you immediately and install it."
"Okay." Li Jiayi took the ticket and left the address.
"You can just wait when you go back."
"Can you install it today?" Li Jiayi asked.
The salesperson turned his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said, "No problem, I can install it today."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Yeah!"
After leaving the Friendship Store, Li Jiayi drove back first.
He wants to see which house to install the air conditioner. You must know that he has bought three air conditioners!
Now there are only two rooms in the house.
Yes, what he wants to see is where this extra one is installed.
After looking upstairs and downstairs, Li Jiayi decided to install it in the room where his elder sister and second sister lived before.
In this case, if the eldest and second sisters come over, they can still be used.
Even if the children come back then, they can stay in this room.
As for the main hall, Li Jia did not plan to install an air conditioner.
There are very few people at home during the day, especially during the summer.
So it doesn't matter whether it is installed or not, and there are electric fans.
In winter, there is no need. There is a fireplace in the house, which is much warmer than air conditioning.
Only when it is installed in the room is the most suitable, because it can be used at night!
"Are you adding one at home?"
As soon as Li Jiayi made a decision, he heard someone shouting outside and quickly came out of the house.
"Auntie Cheng."
"You are at home! Someone is looking for you outside."
