Just as the family was offering their opinions, Jiang Hai came to visit again.
However, this visit wasn't for any other reason.
He was holding a green box in his arms; someone who didn't know better might mistake it for a radio.
"Brother Jiang Hai, what brings you here?"
Because it was broad daylight and the door was open, Ye Beiping spoke as soon as Jiang Hai entered.
Jiang Hai placed the green box on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Seeing this, Aunt Li quickly stepped forward and handed her a glass of water.
Glug glug!
After finishing his water in one gulp, Jiang Hai said, "You asked me to inquire about air conditioners before, and I did. Here I am, bringing them over."
Um?
Ye Beiping paused, glancing at the green box on the table.
I never expected this to be an air conditioner?
It seems somewhat different from the standing or hanging type of radios in my previous life; it looks more like a radio.
However, it's bigger than a radio, because a radio is rectangular, while this is square.
I'd heard of air conditioners before, but I'd never seen one from the 1970s.
Most of the air conditioners he had seen were wall-mounted.
Upon hearing that it was an air conditioner, Su Xinyi got up and circled the green box for a while: "This is an air conditioner? How can such a small box blow out cold air?"
I looked left and right, but I still couldn't figure it out.
Even Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin came closer to take a look, showing great curiosity.
Aunt Li suddenly asked, "Is this the air conditioner? I've heard people talk about it before, and it seems to be quite expensive."
"It's not cheap." Jiang Hai put his hands on his hips and looked around the living room. "This thing costs more than three thousand yuan."
"What?" Aunt Li, Tao Qiuyan, and Ye Xiaoxin exclaimed in unison.
But Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi haven't changed much.
They had all thought it would cost tens of thousands of yuan, but it turned out that it only cost a little over three thousand yuan.
Ye Beiping frowned, somewhat worried, especially about this type of window air conditioner: "Is it effective?"
Jiang Hai looked back and said, "Whether it's good or not, we'll know once we install it and try it out."
Because it was so different from the air conditioner he had in mind, Ye Beiping could only follow Jiang Hai's advice and look for an installation location.
After looking around, I realized that only the windows were suitable for installation.
Moreover, it would still be necessary to remove the original glass and then customize a smaller one.
Window air conditioners are like this; they are all-in-one units.
It's not like the air conditioners Ye Beiping knew from his previous life, which had outdoor and indoor units.
Perhaps Ye Beiping first used air conditioning after the millennium. At that time, air conditioners were all separate units. After all, people had just escaped poverty in the 1980s and 90s, and not many families could afford air conditioning.
After a busy afternoon, Jiang Hai kept running back and forth, ordering glass and installing a window air conditioner. It took him more than five hours to finally get it installed.
Plug in the power.
As the green light came on, everyone turned their attention to it.
Only Ye Beiping stared at the air conditioner in thought, wondering, "Does this thing use a lot of electricity?"
"It's alright," Jiang Hai replied, wiping his sweat.
Given Ye Beiping's current earning speed, this electricity bill is definitely nothing.
The window air conditioner started working soon, but it was quite noisy.
"Isn't this too loud? I was thinking of installing it in the room, but how can I sleep with this much noise?" Ye Beiping muttered.
Su Xinyi nodded in agreement.
Soon, cool air began to blow out of the air conditioner.
Yes, it's cool.
Standing in front of the window air conditioner, Ye Beiping closed his eyes to enjoy the cool breeze. He never expected that he would only experience air conditioning after the millennium in his previous life, but in this life he would be able to experience this cool breeze twenty years earlier.
This kind of breeze is absolutely wonderful in the summer.
Unfortunately, summer is almost over, so this thing probably won't last much longer.
Su Xinyi also felt the cool breeze and immediately smiled and said, "Beiping, this wind is really cool."
"Mmm." Ye Beiping felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction as he looked at Su Xinyi, his mother, and his sister's smiles.
There's nothing more joyful than making your family happy.
After blowing in the wind for a few minutes, Jiang Hai shook his head: "No, this wind will give me a headache if I keep blowing in it for too long."
Ye Beiping smiled at this.
Because he only played for a minute or two before sitting back on the sofa, while Su Xinyi and the other girls were still playing.
Half an hour later, the entire living room felt cool.
This surprised Ye Beiping. After all, such a large space couldn't be accommodated by wall-mounted air conditioners before; a standing air conditioner, and even that had to be 3P, was necessary. He never expected that a small window air conditioner could have such an effect.
Sure enough, things from this era are more cost-effective than those things from my previous life that cost tens of thousands.
Seeing that the installation was complete, Ye Beiping got up, went to his room, and took the money to give to Jiang Hai.
"Brother Jianghai, here's the money for the air conditioner."
"Mm." Jiang Hai didn't stand on ceremony and put it directly into his pocket.
Soon after, Jiang He and his group arrived.
As soon as they entered the house, they immediately sensed something was different.
Hou Baolin and Tang Xiaolong, in particular, kept coming in and out, both of them frowning.
"Wait a minute, why is it so cool at home in Beiping?"
"Yes, it feels like a furnace outside."
Ye Beiping paid no attention to what the two were saying.
Without air conditioning, you wouldn't notice, but once you turn on the air conditioning and go outside, it's like a giant oven.
The temperature difference is too great.
As the chill in the room began to dissipate, Jiang Hai quickly pulled the two inside and closed the door.
"Don't leave the door open all the time, it'll get cold later."
