Qiao Qinglu was somewhat helpless, "I know", what else could she do? She could only pamper her man herself.
This fickle man, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, really made himself very frustrated.
Qiao Qinglu thought of what Xiao Qinyun had said last night, and she said, "That's enough. I'm not going to argue with you any more. Didn't you say you were going to look for that craftsman after get off work? You came here with my brother today, are you still going?"
Xiao Qinyun smiled at her, "You still remember this? I went there at noon. The shop where I bought the jewelry is owned by Master Jin. He introduced me to Master Wang, a carpenter, Master Han, a bricklayer, and Master Lu, a plumber. We agreed to meet at the courtyard in Wangfujing the day after tomorrow afternoon. If you have any requests, just let me know then."
Qiao Qinglu thought for a moment, "Well, is that enough time? The logistics department only gave my brother a week, and we still have to vacate the house."
Xiao Qinyun: "We have enough time. When the time comes, we can pick up some tiles and clean up the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom first. We can tidy up the rest after we move in."
"Hmm."
Qiao Qinglu brought Xiao Qinyun into the space. "Now that we've finished talking about the house, let's talk about the appliances. You said you were going to tear it down the other day, but why haven't you started yet? What do you think?"
Xiao Qinyun became serious when he heard Qiao Qinglu mention home appliances. He pulled an electric pressure cooker from the kitchen and said, "I'm going to start with the electric pressure cooker. I've been collecting information on pressure cookers these past few days. Pressure cookers are made of aluminum alloy and plastic. The operating principle of a pressure cooker is very simple. It works based on the well-known physical principle of 'water boiling point.' When we cook, we seal the water in the pot and heat it. This prevents the steam from escaping, creating a high pressure higher than one atmosphere. The water will boil at a temperature above 100 degrees Celsius, and the rice will cook quickly."
He continued, "Because pressure cookers have a safety valve to regulate the pressure, improper use can easily cause an explosion. However, electric pressure cookers don't have this risk. I've seen this pot. It consists of an inner pot, an outer shell, and a lid. It has a fuse and a ground wire inside. If used improperly, it will only blow the fuse and cut off the power. I think there's potential for improvement. However, the panel is too high-tech and I can't fix it."
Qiao Qinglu became interested after hearing what he said. "Well, you're right. If the power supply is guaranteed, basically every household needs small kitchen appliances. My electric pressure cooker has a computer control panel, but you can put that aside and try making an old-fashioned rice cooker. I already have one at home. I'll draw you a sketch."
Qiao Qinglu found a piece of paper and a pen and quickly drew an old-fashioned rice cooker. She said, "This old-fashioned rice cooker has a spring at the bottom with two displays on top. Press the spring and the red 'cook' light will turn on, indicating that the rice cooker is heating up. When the rice is cooked, the spring will automatically pop up and the red 'keep warm' light will turn on, indicating that the rice is done."
Xiao Qinyun took the sketch and kissed Qiao Qinglu. "Thank you, wife. With this diagram, I have a research direction. This is quite easy to implement. Next, I will dismantle the pot. You go and do your own thing."
Qiao Qinglu smiled and pushed him away. "Go and do your thing. I have my own things to do."
She is also busy drinking milk, watering, feeding, and harvesting vegetables and eggs.
Today, there are more vegetables to harvest, such as spinach, lettuce, romaine lettuce, garlic sprouts, and peppers. Unfortunately, it is winter in the north now, so these vegetables cannot be eaten openly and can only be cooked in space.
Well, let's talk about it later. After they move, they can do whatever they want. There's no need to be so nervous, afraid that someone might hear what you say.
At 11 o'clock, Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun finished washing up, left the space, and went to the room to rest.
Time passed quickly, and on the day agreed to hand over the house, Xiao Qinyun had already taken leave. The two of them packed up and went to the supply and marketing department to buy some peach cakes, candies and 5 big locks, and then went to the black market.
This time, the two of them deliberately did not wear makeup, so the black market guy did not recognize them. After paying the money, they came to Brother Yong's yard.
After knocking on the door, Da Junzi opened it. He was a little hesitant to recognize the two people. Although they were still wrapped in thick cotton coats and aprons, their temperament was completely different.
Brother Yong raised an eyebrow at the two of them. He wasn't surprised. "Sister Qiao, brother-in-law, you two have finally revealed your true colors. Do you believe in me?"
Qiao Qinglu smiled and greeted, "Brother Yong, look at what you're saying. If I didn't trust you, how could I bring my partner to see you, ask you about houses, and work with you twice? Wearing makeup before was just a habit. Don't blame me for being cautious. I'm not like you, leaning on a big tree. Now I dare to see you with my true face because Brother Yong and I are both lovers and have long been in love. How could I possibly lie to you, Brother Yong!"
Brother Yong laughed heartily. "Sister Qiao is always forthright in her words and deeds. Our job isn't easy, and I'm not the kind of person who would be stingy. Dajunzi, you accompany Sister Qiao to sign the contract first. After that's done, you can go directly to the Minzu Restaurant. I'm treating Sister Qiao and her family to lunch there today."
Everyone agreed.
Although the place is not close, fortunately Wangfujing, Nanluoguxiang and Houhai are not far away, and these families are all in a hurry to sell their houses, so all the families came together, and the people on the street also arrived.
Da Junzi led Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun to the second courtyard of Wangfujing Street. After inspecting the furniture, they paid the remaining 2,600 yuan and signed a three-copy agreement, both parties signed and stamped. The buyer and seller each kept one copy, while the street auntie kept another for record. Qiao Qinglu installed a new lock, and the house was sold.
Before leaving, Xiao Qinyun handed a piece of peach cake to the aunt, telling her that his family would be moving in soon and she would have to trouble them in the future.
The auntie couldn't refuse but had to accept it and praised them for their courtesy. She said that they would be on the same street as each other and would have to deal with each other inevitably in the future.
There was no furniture in Nanluoguxiang, so I didn't inspect the house. I just paid the remaining balance of 3,700 yuan, signed three contracts, one for each party, changed the locks, and that was it.
Qiao Qinglu took a piece of candy and handed it to the old man on the street, telling him that the house had been rented out and the tenant would move in in a few days, and asked them to take good care of it.
The old man tried to refuse again and again, but finally accepted the candy and told them to go to the street to find him if they had any problems in the future.
Houhai went to the third courtyard first, and the street lady also came to this house first. She paid the remaining balance of 1,650 yuan, signed three contracts, one for each party, and changed the locks.
Then the aunt followed them to the second courtyard, paid the remaining balance of 1,400 yuan, signed three contracts, with each party holding one copy, replaced the lock, and that was it.
Xiao Qinyun handed the peach cakes and candies to the old lady and told her that she had no money to repair the house and it would have to be left empty, and asked her to take care of it when she had time.
The aunt refused again and again, but she had to accept it. This family was worldly-wise and would have to take care of the two houses for them in the future.
After finally signing the contract and buying the house, the three of them went to the National Restaurant. Listening to Xiao Qinyun and Da Junzi chatting, Qiao Qinglu realized that the National Restaurant was "Donglaishun". It was hot pot. She hadn't eaten it for a long time and was a little craving it.
