Chapter 154: Self-Built a Simple Shower Room
“Don’t lie to me, you have imported foreign cars, but you still don’t have a good one?” Lao Wang said, pointing to the bicycle on the tricycle.
Yes, all bicycles at this time are imported, because Feige, the first domestic bicycle brand, has just started production this year.
Not to mention whether it has started selling now, even if it has started selling, it is unlikely to be broken at this time.
Therefore, the bicycles on the road now, including those that have become tattered, are all imported from abroad.
Also known as foreign cars.
In fact, before 1955, many things sold in the country were imported. It was not until 1955, after the public-private partnership was implemented, that imports were much less.
It cannot be said that it is much less, it is just that the imported things are different. For example, more machinery and equipment need to be imported.
"Okay! Just say yes." Li Le didn't want to argue about this.
I quickly unloaded the things and weighed them. Not to mention, these things were really sold for a lot of money.
This shabby tricycle was sold for more than 800,000 yuan. You must know that this is a pure profit! Not a penny of capital was spent.
And there are still several broken pieces of furniture! If all is counted, ninety yuan is absolutely no problem.
This is still calculated as broken furniture. If it is repaired, the price will be higher.
After getting the money, Li Le first bought some mutton, then bought a few bottles of wine, and rode a tricycle home.
I’m going to eat hotpot mutton in the evening. As for the green vegetables, they have come out now and are sold everywhere.
And Li Le doesn’t need to buy it because he has it at home.
When I got home, I saw the two sisters Zhao Yanran drinking tea and reading in the yard.
Li Le shouted: "Yanran."
Zhao Yanran quickly put down the book, stood up and asked, "Brother Le, what's the matter?"
"Put this mutton away and cut it up. Let's eat the mutton-boiled meat tonight."
"OK!"
Zhao Yanhan also put down the book at this time and said: "I'm going to choose the vegetables."
While Zhao Yanran and the two sisters were busy cooking, Li Le went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
To be honest, it's a bit unreasonable to go to the bathhouse to take a bath at this time, but there is no way, there is no place to take a bath at home.
After Li Le came back, he looked at the yard and thought: It looks like we need to find a place where we can take a bath.
It wasn't long after Li Le came back from the shower that Ma Feng and the others also came back one after another.
"Brother, are you back so early today?" Ma Feng asked.
"It's not too early. I haven't had much of a meeting since I got back. By the way, when you guys go out to collect scraps tomorrow, pay attention to see if there are any broken oil drums for sale."
"Brother, why do you want to break the oil drum?"
"Don't worry about this. If you have them, buy them back. You can also buy a few more."
"I know, brother."
"Hmm! What's so fragrant?" Li Daila asked after sniffing his nose.
"Just the tip of your nose, let's eat hot pot tonight." Li Le patted Li Daila and said.
"Wow! Hot pot! Brother, are you rich?" Li Daila almost jumped up with excitement.
"Go away, can't you eat hot pot if you don't get rich?"
"Uh!" Li Daila scratched his head and said, "It seems okay."
"Okay, go and wash up quickly. Dinner will be served soon." That night, everyone enjoyed a delicious hot pot meal, and Li Le was satisfied with it anyway.
After dinner the next morning, everyone set off again. Some things, if you are not careful, you may never see.
But if you pay attention to it, it is everywhere. No, when everyone came back that night, there were four large oil drums in the yard.
Needless to say, these oil drums were obtained by Ma Feng and others, but I don’t know where they got them.
But there is one thing, it is definitely not stolen. This is absolutely forbidden here in Li Le.
With these four large oil drums, Li Le began to take action. First, he had to create a bathroom.
Of course, the bathroom cannot be in the house. There is an open space between the back room and the west wing.
Li Le was ready to use it. First, he had to build a house. This house could not be built with bricks, it was best to use wood.
Bricks are hard to buy, but wood is easy to get! It's everywhere outside the city.
Li Le gave Ma Feng and the others an order to go out to look for wood tomorrow, no matter how big or small.
Of course, Li Le is not idle either. He also wants to get things, such as asphalt. This stuff is not rare in later generations, but in this era, it is not easy to get.
The next day no one went out to collect scraps, everyone was busy looking for things.
Li Le first went to the store and bought some oil pipes. He had no choice but to find other pipes. There were no other pipes for sale in the store, so he had to use oil pipes.
In fact, they are almost the same.
Li Le also found some tar, not much, about twenty kilograms. When he got home, he heated it over a fire and then applied it on the oil drum.
Four oil drums were coated with about 20 kilograms of asphalt. The oil drums were coated with a thick layer. In fact, the thicker the better, for heat preservation.
At this time, everyone came back one after another, and everyone pulled a lot of wood on the tricycle.
Li Le started to build the shed, starting with the four corners, which had to be buried in the soil with thicker wood.
I kept busy until about two o'clock in the afternoon. I finally set up the shed and then put the four oil drums on it.
There are so many people to work with! Basically, Li Le didn't need to do anything, Ma Feng and the others did the work.
After putting the oil drum on, Li Le went up to fix it, took out the oil pipe, and connected it to the oil drum.
It just so happens that oil drums have two openings, a large opening and a small opening. The large opening is used as a water inlet and the small opening is used as a water outlet.
There was also a shower head. Li Le found a large piece of iron sheet and smashed it into a square iron bucket with a hammer.
Then use nails to nail many small holes underneath.
There was no water temperature regulator, so Li Le asked Ma Feng to go to the store and buy two faucets.
One is connected to the oil drum, the other is connected to the water pipe, and both faucets are fixed on the iron bucket.
If you want it to be hotter, turn on the faucet connected to the oil drum. If you want it to be cooler, turn on the faucet connected to the tap water.
In this way, a simplified version of the shower room is built.
This is also thanks to the good location of Li Le's house. It is in the city center and next to the Forbidden City. You must know that there are still many places in the imperial capital that do not have running water!
Without running water, it is impossible to build a simple shower room.
The shower room was finished, but it was impossible to use it today because when it was finished, the sun was almost setting and it was impossible to get warm.
But it doesn't matter, it can be used tomorrow. Seeing how dirty everyone was, Li Le took everyone to the bathhouse.
When they came back after taking a shower, Zhao Yanran and the two sisters had already prepared the meal, had a delicious meal, and then went to rest.
