Chapter 115 Thermos Cup
The kettle that Ye Qian brought was not only welcomed in the union, but also in other surrounding departments.
Now people don’t get water from the water room anymore, they go directly to the union.
The water room is so cold. Not only do you have to walk there, but you also have to queue up. It’s different in the union, it’s right next door.
The union became very lively now, with people queuing up to get water and chat all day long.
As more people come, more conflicts arise.
Xu Yaoyao was annoyed by the noise the union was making every day. It was all because of Ye Qian, so she was a little unhappy: "It used to be fine, but now it looks like a market because of someone using a kettle. What kind of workplace is this?"
Ye Qian also felt that it was a bit noisy, but she also heard Xu Yaoyao's dissatisfaction. Since you don't want to use it, then don't use it, so she said: "Okay, I'll take it back when I get off work, so there won't be any noise."
Xu Yaoyao was just a little dissatisfied and complained a few words, and took the opportunity to argue with Ye Qian, but she didn't expect Ye Qian to agree so easily.
If someone else said this, they might try to mediate, but Xu Yaoyao has always been dissatisfied with Ye Qian. Even after Dong Jing and Jiang Sha got along well with Ye Qian, they were still dissatisfied with her because Ye Qian was too good at winning people's hearts.
It's only been a short time since she came here, but everyone in the Grain Bureau knows her, Ye Qian. The key is that they all like her quite a bit. What a joke.
Sure enough, when it was time to get off work, Ye Qian took her kettle back.
Everyone looked at Ye Qian, then at Xu Yaoyao, and then left the office.
Xu Yaoyao didn't expect that Ye Qian would actually dare to take it back like that, and she stomped her feet in anger.
Even if Ye Qian took the kettle back, she would not let herself get cold. She found two thermos cups in the space. She didn't know if they were available in this era. Anyway, if someone asked her about it, she would just say that she bought them from another city.
She took out two thermos cups, one of which was definitely for Gu Jinyan. Ye Qian had carefully checked the thermos cups and removed all the markings from later generations. After washing them, she put them in a thermos bag and gave them to Gu Jinyan.
Gu Jinyan looked at the thermos, pondered for a while, and said nothing.
The next day, the union returned to the days of fetching water on duty, with one person taking turns for one day so that no one would suffer any loss.
Ye Qian didn't care. She wouldn't be cold even if she put on her military coat when the weather got cold. But it was not the same for other people. Thick cotton-padded clothes were not available at the moment. There was a shortage of supplies and cotton was impossible to buy. It was good enough to have a thin cotton-padded coat.
The key point is that it is cold now, and it is not okay to fetch water only once a day. If you run several times a day, you will naturally feel resentful.
At first, everyone blamed Ye Qian for taking the kettle back. Dong Jing and Jiang Sha didn't care, but Li Manyu was not in the same group with them, so she explained a few words for Ye Qian. Then everyone realized that it was because of Xu Yaoyao that everyone had no hot water to drink.
For a while, everyone was complaining about Xu Yao.
Ye Qian's thermos cup also caught Li Manyu's attention.
Only then did Ye Qian realize that there were thermos cups in this era, but they were a bit big and not very convenient to carry. Ye Qian's was a good choice.
The next day, Li Manyu brought her thermos cup to look at. The inner liner of the cup was very similar to that of a kettle, and the cup was also very large, just like the stewing cups of later generations, a round and fat thing. Such a large thing was not convenient to carry and was only suitable for use in the office.
But it’s true, isn’t it designed for leaders? How can ordinary people afford it? A thermos cup is more expensive than a kettle, and the heat preservation effect will be cold in about half a day.
Just this small thermos costs 35 yuan and 20 industrial coupons. This is just robbery.
Li Manyu took the thermos cup for a purpose. She had taken a fancy to Ye Qian's thermos cup yesterday. Not only did it look good, but it was also slender and long, making it easy to carry. Moreover, Ye Heshui herself had noticed yesterday that the lid of the cup had been open and had never been closed, but it was still hot to the mouth all morning.
Ye Qian also drank water like this in later life, otherwise she would not get cold easily. The thermos cups she bought were all of better quality, and the water would be hot even after a night (the one the author bought from Master XX was like this, he poured a cup of freshly boiled water before going to bed, and burned his mouth when he drank the water the next day. But this also depends on choosing the cup, some cups are not good, and they are all cold the next day, so buying this thing depends on luck).
Ye Qian was busy for a while and didn't pay attention. She picked up the cup and started drinking directly, almost scalding herself to death.
Ye Qian jumped up from the heat and stepped back repeatedly: "Oh my god, it's so hot that it's killing me."
Li Manyu was amused by Ye Qian's appearance. She had never expected the water to be so hot. "Is it really that hot?"
When Ye Qian recovered and removed her hand, her entire chin turned red, which really shocked Li Manyu and everyone else. This thermos cup is so powerful.
Ye Qian took her handkerchief and soaked it in water outside, then used it to cool her skin down for a while.
This made everyone present want to buy one.
Ye Qian: ...
I'm burned like this, and you just want to buy a cup?
Gu Jinyan was very curious about this style of thermos cup. It looked much better than his original one. He studied it for a while yesterday, but couldn't figure out what it was.
This morning after work, I poured myself a cup of boiled water. I was too busy to drink it. I only had time to stop and drink a cup of water at noon. If it was an old thermos, the water would be warm and I could drink it directly. But it was a while ago, and I took a big gulp without paying attention, and almost burned my mouth.
Where did Ye Qian get this thing? Why is the effect so good? She looked at it carefully for a while, but still couldn't figure out what was going on, so she continued working.
After returning home in the afternoon, Gu Jinyan circled around Ye Qian who was typing. When he couldn't help but want to ask something, Ye Qian spoke first.
Ye Qian had been observing for quite some time. Gu Jinyan had been circling behind her for quite some time, making her feel agitated. She stopped writing and asked, "Aren't you going to cook?"
Gu Jinyan wanted to curse, what are you cooking? How could he have the heart to cook?
Seeing Ye Qian's attitude, Gu Jinyan asked, "Where did you get this thermos? It has a great insulation effect."
Ye Qian instantly remembered her burned chin: "Yeah, I didn't pay attention and burned my chin today. I wrapped it with an ice towel for a long time before the redness went away."
When Gu Jinyan heard that Ye Qian was burned, he immediately looked at Ye Qian's chin and said with concern: "Be careful next time. It's so uncomfortable to get burned."
Yes, I got burned too, it was really uncomfortable, and it was in my mouth, and it was at noon, and I hadn’t eaten lunch yet. Now it’s evening and I’m so hungry, but I still want to know where this thermos came from.
