"Of course, our department store can deliver large items to your door."
"You pay the money here, write down the address, and I will arrange for someone to load your car immediately."
When the salesperson heard that Chen Jun chose the two most expensive ones, he was overjoyed. Not only could he secretly make four dollars this time, but he could also sell two big items. The team leader would definitely praise him when he knew about it.
"good!"
Seeing this, Chen Jun counted out forty-six yuan and handed it over: "Write me a receipt."
Chen Jun wrote the receipt simply because he didn't want any trouble later. If someone was so foolish as to use these two iron stoves to cause trouble, he could still shut them up. Moreover, if there were any problems with the stoves later, he could also ask the department store to repair them.
Otherwise, if the department store doesn’t recognize it, it will be troublesome.
"Huh? Receipt? What receipt?"
The salesperson's heart sank, and he pretended to be confused: "Are you worried about the quality of the stove? Don't worry, as long as it's sold by our department store, we will stand by it."
"Look at how big our store is. It's very reliable."
Um?
Chen Jun looked at the salesperson and said, "You work here, and you don't even know about receipts?"
These days, you can get a receipt if you buy a pack of cigarettes from any supply and marketing cooperative, let alone a department store.
It was obvious that there was something wrong with the salesperson in front of him. Either he had just started working, or there was something wrong with the stove.
"I've never heard of it!" The salesperson was still pretending to be dumbfounded: "How about you go ask our team leader?"
He was betting that the two people in front of him were young and didn't understand so many twists and turns.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun nodded directly: "Okay, where is your team leader? I'll go find him."
Nowadays, you don’t have to expect customers to order the salesperson around, because they won’t listen to you at all. Their noses are all upturned to the sky, and if you ask too many questions, you may even get scolded.
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the team leader." The salesperson smiled calmly, then turned and left the counter.
After a while, the salesperson came over with a brochure.
"I just asked the team leader, and we can issue receipts here." The salesperson counted out four yuan from the money he had just collected and handed it to Chen Jun: "You are so lucky. The team leader just said that the iron stoves are not selling well, so we will give you a two yuan discount on each one. You just caught it."
"Brother, we saved four dollars!" Lin Yao was happy when she heard it. Four dollars can buy a lot of snacks!
Chen Jun snorted, wrote down No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, took the receipt and left.
What a bullshit idea of being lucky enough to get a discount, that's pure bullshit.
If I hadn't asked for the receipt this time, I would have been cheated by the salesperson.
This is also why the position of salesperson is so popular in this era. Not only is the job decent and has high social status, but you can also receive news earlier and make profits from some products.
Of course, this is neither against regulations nor against the law, but if the salesperson just now falsely reported prices, he is already making illegal profits.
If Chen Jun wants to argue with him, he can go directly to the leader's office to complain. Even if he is not fired, he can still fine him.
After leaving the department store, Chen Jun went to buy some coal. Because of the snow, the price of coal was a little higher, but Chen Jun didn't care about it. After writing down the address, he asked the boss to arrange the delivery.
When the two returned to the courtyard, the two iron stoves purchased from the department store had been delivered. In addition to the two stoves, there were also some matching chimneys.
The third uncle and his companions were gathered around the iron stove, watching the fun. When they saw Chen Jun coming back, they said, "Chen Jun, the delivery man said these are the two iron stoves you bought. Don't you have a stove at home?"
The third uncle was talking about the small cooking stove that was filled with honeycomb coal. The outside of that small stove was insulated, and the heat of the honeycomb coal was concentrated and supplied upwards, instead of spreading everywhere. So it could still keep warm if you were close to it, but it was useless if you were far away.
"The weather is getting colder. Let's buy two stoves and keep the house warm."
Chen Jun explained, then handed the bicycle to Lin Yao and ran towards the backyard with an iron stove in one hand.
"Wow! This kid Chen Jun is so powerful???"
The third uncle was stunned by the scene in front of him. He had just watched the deliveryman unloading the stoves. He was exhausted after carrying one, but Chen Jun was actually carrying one in each hand and running very fast!
"It's good to be young and energetic!" said the third aunt.
After moving the stove and chimney into the house, Chen Jun began to plan the location of the iron stove.
First of all, the heat of the iron stove must be able to radiate throughout the house, and also it must be within the range of the flue installation. Otherwise, if the flue is not installed properly, it will be dangerous if toxic gases cannot be discharged.
After sweeping around the room, Chen Jun placed the iron stove not far from the dining table, chose a suitable spot on the window, and poked out a pipe.
Both ends have been determined, and the rest is simple. You just need to connect the other pipes according to the height and position.
For greater safety, Chen Jun added another layer of protection at the connection of the smoke pipe to ensure that all toxic gases can be discharged outdoors.
In fact, it is okay not to have this layer of protection. Houses nowadays are far inferior to those decades later. Whether it is the gaps between doors or windows, there will be some air leakage.
With the help of my mother and sister, the stoves in both houses were installed.
"Come on, let's go light the coal."
Chen Jun asked Lin Yao to bring some fire starters, and he moved the small stove used for cooking at home to the yard.
Lighting a stove is actually a technical job. You won’t do it so well that you’ll be smoked to the point of tears streaming down your face, but the coal briquettes just won’t light.
But for Chen Jun, it was very simple. He first put some small wooden sticks at the bottom of the stove to keep the air circulating, then lit a small ball of newspaper and stuffed it in, and then threw some small wooden sticks in.
When the fire gradually burns, you can throw in some fire-resistant wood blocks, and finally put the honeycomb coal in.
After a few minutes, the lower part of the first piece of honeycomb coal was ignited, and Chen Jun put it into the iron stove.
At this time, the smoke pipe begins to discharge smoke outward, and the honeycomb coal begins to burn.
Soon, the temperature of the iron stove rose and the heat began to spread around.
Lin Yao stretched out her hands and leaned towards the stove, saying happily, "It's so warm, just like being by the fire."
Chen Jun felt the temperature and felt that the fire was not strong enough, so he went to the yard and picked up two coal balls and stuffed them into the iron stove, and adjusted the air intake of the stove.
This can not only ensure the temperature, but also increase the burning speed of the coal balls.
Chen Jun estimated that in order to ensure the temperature in the house, at least ten coal briquettes would be needed every day, which would be close to 20 cents a day.
