"Lai Lai, where did you buy your insulation? I'd like to buy some too!"
Li Qingya looked at Xu Lai with longing.
Xu Lai had stockpiled a lot of this insulation cotton in her space. It was not only of high quality but also had a long service life. It was rainproof, acid and alkali resistant, and anti-aging. It was also easy to disassemble and could be reused.
Under normal circumstances, this insulation cotton can have a service life of ten to fifteen years.
Moreover, the Xiao and Lu families are now practically inseparable from their own, supporting each other, and Xu Lai doesn't want anything to happen to them.
So he generously replied, "There's more, I'll go get it!"
As she spoke, Xu Lai came out of the air-conditioned room, walked to her parents' room, and took out two large rolls of thermal insulation cotton from her storage space.
Then, like rolling barrels, they rolled the two large rolls of insulation out of their parents' room.
The air-conditioned room was already mostly occupied by beds and blankets on the floor, and since there were quite a few people, Xu Lai simply placed the two rolls of insulation cotton in the living room.
Hearing the commotion, Li Qingya and the others disregarded the high temperature and hurried from the air-conditioned room to the living room.
Seeing the insulation in front of her, her eyes lit up: "There's quite a lot, enough for two rooms!"
"This insulation material is really effective. I just checked this air-conditioned room, and the temperature is set to 27 degrees Celsius. It's even cooler than our air-conditioned room at home, which is set to 16 degrees Celsius!"
Grandpa Lu nodded in agreement.
Especially today, the temperature suddenly rose by several degrees. Because we have solar power generation equipment installed at home, even with the air conditioner set to the lowest temperature of 16 degrees, the temperature in the air-conditioned room is not exactly cool.
Moreover, the lower the air conditioner temperature is set, the more electricity it consumes. It seems that the electricity stored in the solar power generation equipment is not increasing, but rather decreasing.
Grandpa Lu's family had no choice but to turn up the air conditioner temperature considerably.
If you can also install this insulation material in your room, you can save a lot of electricity every day!
Moreover, thanks to the reminder from Xiao's daughter-in-law, the dozen or so potted plants they grew could be placed in an air-conditioned room during the hottest part of the day to prevent them from being scorched to death.
Thinking about this, Grandpa Lu also considered buying insulation cotton.
I just don't know how much this insulation cotton costs?
"Lai Lai, how much is your thermal insulation cotton?"
Li Qingya looked at the large roll of insulation cotton that was as tall as a person and immediately asked about the price.
She needed to hurry, buy the insulation cotton as soon as possible, install it quickly, and move the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other plants she had planted in flower pots and buckets into the house.
Xu Lai hadn't paid attention to the price of the insulation cotton when she visited the government supermarket and Qin's trading market before, and she didn't know the specific price.
But in this extremely hot environment, it goes without saying that this insulation cotton is a hot commodity and its price will definitely not be low.
However, since this item was being sold to the Xu and Lu families, who were close to him, Xu Lai didn't intend to charge more than the agreed price.
So she glanced at her second great-uncle and parents, and under their "it's up to you" look, Xu Lai smiled and said, "Anyway, we're superfluous, so Qingya, you can decide the price!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingya, without waiting to ask her father-in-law's opinion, directly grabbed Xu Lai's hand and said with a smile, "Then I'll take advantage of this today. I'll exchange ten grams of gold for one roll of this heat insulation cotton!"
Actually, Li Qingya wanted to buy both rolls of insulation cotton, but when she saw that Grandpa Lu standing to the side also wanted to buy some, she changed her mind and only bought one roll.
At worst, once we buy it, we can just put this insulation cotton on the room next to the air-conditioned room, and then drill a hole in the wall between the air-conditioned room and the next room.
Then, pipes are used to transport the cool air produced by the air conditioner through this hole to the next room.
Sigh, I wish the power system would be back to normal someday.
Li Qingya sighed inwardly once again.
After hearing Li Qingya's words, Grandpa Lu knew that Xiao's daughter-in-law wanted to give a scroll to their family.
Last time they bought an air conditioner, they borrowed 500 work points from the Xu family. Now, to buy this roll of insulation cotton, they'll need another 1,000 work points from the Xu family in Sheshan.
At this critical moment, the survivors will definitely try their best to store food and water, as these work points will be of great use.
Even with his thick skin, he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
Song Qiu'e raised two children single-handedly. As a woman and a mother, she was soft-hearted and sensitive, and she noticed the hesitant look on Grandpa Lu's face.
She readily said to Grandpa Lu, "Uncle Lu, take this roll of insulation cotton back and use it first. The weather is so hot, and the temperature in the house is too high. An'an won't be able to stand it!"
When Grandpa Lu heard Song Qiu'e say what he couldn't say, he was filled with gratitude.
"Then I'll still owe you the thousand work points for the insulation cotton..."
Before Grandpa Lu could finish speaking, Grandpa Xu immediately waved his hand at him and said, "There's no rush!"
They knew the Lu family's character very well after dealing with them for so long; they would never renege on their debts.
After thanking the Xu family, Li Qingya, Grandpa Xiao, and Grandpa Lu quickly carried the large roll of insulation cotton back home.
There were two people in the Xiao family, and they lived next door. The old man and his daughter-in-law easily carried the insulation cotton back home.
The Lu family and the Xu family were separated by several floors. Xu Haiguo saw that the thin and old old man Lu had taken the initiative to help.
"This insulation cotton works really well!"
That afternoon, the Xiao family and the Lu family each spent several hours attaching the insulation cotton.
Following Li Qingya's instructions, the Xiao family covered the four walls and ceiling of the room next to the air-conditioned room with heat insulation cotton.
Then, following his daughter-in-law's instructions, Grandpa Xiao made a hole in the wall between the two rooms that was slightly larger than his fist.
Another pipe was used to connect to the room next to the air-conditioned room. Near the air conditioner, a funnel-shaped plastic bag about half the size of the air conditioner was placed over the pipe.
In this way, some of the cool air produced by the air conditioner can be delivered to the next room.
"These two extra pieces of insulation are just the right amount to make curtains for two rooms!"
Grandpa Xiao picked up the remaining insulation and compared it with the window, then said...
"Yes, this insulation cotton is much more effective at insulating heat than cloth curtains!"
Li Qingya replied with a smile.
As soon as the temperature in the room next to the air-conditioned room dropped, she couldn't wait to move some of the potted potatoes, sweet potatoes, and vegetables she grew at home into the room.
In the Lu family's apartment, unit 2, room 904, Grandpa Lu thought that since his granddaughter was young and had plenty of space to move around, he put the insulation cotton in the living room.
Anyway, the original living room unit was a 1.5 horsepower wall-mounted unit, which was sufficient to power the home's solar power system.
Their apartment is much smaller than Xu Lai's, only a little over 100 square meters.
So the living room isn't very big, but even after the insulation is applied, it's still not quite enough.
