Installing electrical wiring into your home isn't free these days.
"How much?"
"Just give me ten first."
Feng Mian directly took out ten yuan and gave it to him, "Fourth Grandpa, here are ten yuan."
Carrying ten dollars with you? Fourth Master Feng looked at her in surprise.
“How many lights do you have in your house?”
Feng Mian thought that there were three rooms in the house, and the room was quite large. If he only installed a small light bulb, it would not be much better than a candle.
Install a bigger one in the main room, two each in the kitchen and bedroom, one in the woodroom for convenience of taking a bath at night, and another one at the door.
Well, just keep it simple, that’s about it.
"Just seven."
Gu Yuelin looked at Feng Mian in surprise. Master Feng's hand holding the pen trembled and his eyes widened.
"Seven? Don't you have only three rooms in your house? Why do you need seven?"
His voice startled Feng Mian. She touched her nose and said hesitantly, "I saw the lamp in your house. It's not very bright, so I thought of installing a few more."
“That’s all money.”
“How much is a light bulb?”
"The light bulbs aren't expensive, but the electricity bill is expensive. One kilowatt-hour costs $1.50. Think carefully about it. Can you afford it?"
One dollar and fifty cents, that's really not cheap.
There is no way around it. Electricity generation is limited, various costs are high, and electricity charges are not uniform and are very chaotic.
The price is different in every place. It is relatively better in big cities, but more expensive in rural areas. There are also frequent power outages.
It is said that some outrageous places can receive four or five yuan per kilowatt-hour.
"Let's install it first. Maybe the electricity bill will be cheaper in the future."
Fourth Master Feng glanced at her and snorted, "I've only heard that things are getting more expensive, but I haven't heard that they're getting cheaper. Go ahead, install them. What about switches and sockets? How many do you want?"
"The bedrooms need dual control, so let's install two sockets in each room first."
Master Feng Si: “…”
"Why did you install so many sockets? Do you want to install a telephone in your house?"
Well……
"And what does that dual control mean?"
Feng Mian stammered and said, "Just write it down. Electricians will understand."
Mr. Feng registered her while shaking his head, and then reminded her, "The decoration of your house is not cheap."
"I see."
He put away the notebook and went to the next store.
Feng Mian let out a breath and turned to meet Gu Yuelin's inquiring eyes.
She was startled and blinked her eyes, saying, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"You've never touched an electric light?"
"ah?"
"You seem familiar with these?"
Well……
"I read it in a book."
"In the book? Why didn't I see it?"
Feng Mian glanced at him and said, "I told you to study more, but you insisted on raising pigs. Now look what happened, you are dumbfounded, right? You don't even know about electric lights."
Gu Yuelin: “…”
After saying this, she raised her head proudly and left.
When she went to the county town to attend the market, she went with Lu Lan to earn money as usual.
Feng Mian said that the villagers must not know about this, so the two of them were wrapped up tightly.
The villagers didn't know that they made money from their small business. They just thought they were two spendthrift women who had to go to the market whenever there was one and always bought something when they came back.
