"This is a new product developed by an appliance company in Guangzhou. It's fully automatic. Just put the clothes in, press this button, and wait 20 or 30 minutes; it will wash them by itself..."
Jiang Yue explained the product to her sisters-in-law.
Upon hearing this, all the women looked at the product.
This was the first time they had ever seen a fully automatic washing machine. The washing machines they had seen before were either for washing clothes or had two drums, one for washing clothes and one for spinning them.
But now there's such a great washing machine that can automatically wash and spin-dry clothes.
Can it clean clothes?
"Its function is so good."
Half an hour later, everyone saw Jiang Yue take out the clothes from inside, and they were indeed much better than the clothes washed in the washing machine before.
"How much does this cost? This is amazing!"
"The current price is over six hundred, which is a bit more expensive than a regular washing machine."
Upon hearing that it cost over 600 yuan, the women who were considering buying a washing machine immediately abandoned the idea. Most of them were unemployed and relied on their husbands' salaries to support the family, which amounted to only five or six hundred yuan a year. This washing machine would cost their husbands a year's salary, and they couldn't bear to part with it.
Even if they were willing to spend the money, if their in-laws or outsiders found out, they would say some unpleasant things, calling them wasteful.
"Sister-in-law Lu, you said there were other appliances, what are they?"
Hearing her sister-in-law ask, Jiang Yue led them to the living room. Seeing the rice cooker in the living room, one of her sisters-in-law asked.
"Is this for cooking rice?"
Jiang Yue explained the electric rice cooker to everyone.
The rice in the rice cooker was cooked by then. She opened the lid, scooped out a spoonful of rice, and showed it to everyone.
"Wow, this rice was cooked in this rice cooker? That's amazing!"
"It smells so good."
"The rice tastes better when cooked in a rice cooker than in other pots."
"Sisters-in-law, you can try some."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, the sisters-in-law accepted the rice that Jiang Yue handed over.
After tasting it, the sisters-in-law were filled with surprise.
"This food tastes really good."
"This is the best rice I've ever eaten."
"It's so delicious."
"Sister-in-law Lu, how much is this rice cooker?"
"A rice cooker that can cook rice for two to four people costs sixty yuan, a rice cooker that can cook rice for four to eight people costs eighty yuan, and a rice cooker that can cook rice for more than one hundred and twenty yuan costs more."
Sixty yuan is indeed a bit expensive, but this rice cooker looks really good, and the rice it cooks is really delicious. If they grit their teeth, they can afford it.
"Was it bought at a department store in the city?"
Hearing their words, Jiang Yue smiled and said.
"I bought it at Xingfu Department Store in the city. Their items are cheap, and they often give away free gifts..."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, the sisters-in-law all expressed their gratitude.
The women hadn't gone far from Lu Yu's house when they were pulled aside by other women who were asking them questions.
"Sisters, did you just go to Captain Lu's house?"
"I heard that Sister Lu bought a lot of appliances?"
"Yes, we just visited. That washing machine is so useful, and that rice cooker makes the rice so fragrant and delicious."
"That meal was so delicious, I'm planning to buy one too."
"I'm also planning to buy one."
"I heard that the rice was also bought at Xingfu Department Store."
