Under the guidance of the others, Ye Zhiqiu familiarized himself with the room and taught him how to use various electrical appliances. What surprised him was that there was a gas water heater installed here.
This thing is rare, imported from the United States. Not many people in Hong Kong use gas these days. Ordinary families use honeycomb coal or water stoves, which are also called kerosene stoves.
However, most poor families still use firewood to cook. There are still mountains in Hong Kong. After all, apart from getting firewood yourself, everything else requires money.
After the 1970s, the economy gradually developed and entered the era of gas and electricity. Electric rice cookers were already available by then, but ordinary people simply couldn't use them. After all, an electric rice cooker cost several hundred Hong Kong dollars, which was nearly half a year's income for an average person.
Everyone told him to call the internal line if he needed anything and ask the servants to prepare it for him. When he got up tomorrow, the servants would take his clothes and other things to be washed, and then everyone would go back to wash and rest.
Ye Zhiqiu looked around the room. It was a really big room, at least more than 30 square meters. There were so many rooms like this, and each one had a separate bathroom.
All the common household electrical appliances are available, except that the fan here is a ceiling fan installed on the ceiling, not a portable electric fan.
I took a hot shower, but didn't try the bathtub. After all, it was already late. Ye Zhiqiu looked at the clothes on the side. Not only formal wear, but even pajamas and underwear were arranged. I really didn't know what to say...
After drying his hair, he lay down on the bed. After finishing the affairs in the space, he felt that the journey of this mission was really a bit dreamy.
Although he had always known that his second and third uncles were doing well, he had never imagined they were so wealthy. However, he did not seem to have heard of the Ye family in his later life. He did not know why.
As he thought about it, he felt sleepy. These days at sea were not very pleasant, and Ye Zhiqiu fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. He quickly got up, washed up, and changed into a white shirt, trousers, and leather shoes.
The temperature difference in Hong Kong at this time was quite large, with temperatures of 8 or 9 degrees Celsius at night and 18 or 19 degrees Celsius during the day. So Ye Zhiqiu didn't feel very cold wearing such clothes.
He just opened the door and saw a servant standing at the door, holding a coat prepared for him!
"Seventh Young Master, Madam said the temperature is average today and asked you to put on your coat to avoid catching a cold."
"Oh, okay, I'll change it right away."
After putting on his coat, Ye Zhiqiu came to the first floor. Ye Zuze was drinking tea and reading a newspaper, so he quickly greeted him.
Ye Zuze smiled and waved, motioning him to come sit over. After Ye Zhiqiu sat down, he asked, "Chengyun, your second brother Chengfu called and said your third uncle will make some arrangements. He will take your third aunt, your eighth sister, and your tenth brother to fly over to see you tomorrow. Your third and fourth brothers are overseas with the ship, so they can't come to see you this time."
Ye Zhiqiu said quickly: "This is really, Uncle San and the others have been working so hard."
Li Wenhui and two aunts came out of the kitchen. Seeing Ye Zhiqiu getting up, she said happily, "Chengyun, I made you some fish maw and black chicken soup. It's very nourishing. How about having a bowl before eating?"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly greeted him, smiled and nodded in agreement.
He was not asked to go to the dining table, but was served a bowl of soup, various breakfasts and porridge on the coffee table.
Although it was almost lunchtime, Li Wenhui thought it would be better to eat first. At worst, she could just eat less for lunch.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu eating, Ye Zuze felt hungry and asked for a bowl of soup which he drank slowly.
Li Wenhui really likes Ye Zhiqiu. She likes everything she cooks very much and everything tastes delicious, which is a great compliment to a cook.
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Li Wenhui said to him, "Chengyun, I'll take you out shopping later to buy you some clothes."
Ye Zhiqiu said quickly, "Don't bother, Second Aunt. I can't wear that in China, nor can I wear gold and silver. That doesn't fit in with the current situation and will make me out of place in domestic society."
Ye Zuze smiled and said, "Haha, just go and do as you are told! Your second aunt talked to me for a long time yesterday about buying something for you. If you don't go with her, I guess she'll talk to me about it again tonight and won't let me sleep well. Just think of it as a pity for your second uncle and go to satisfy your second aunt's shopping desire!"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what to say, but Li Wenhui complained, "What a fool you are! You don't wear it in China, but you have to wear it here. And I have to pick out a good watch for you, and gifts for your family. I have to take you with me to choose. Otherwise, how would I know what your mother and your partner like?"
There was no way out, Ye Zhiqiu could only agree.
So after lunch, Ye Zhiqiu got in the car and set off with his second uncle and his group.
"Chengyun, this is Sheung Wan. It has the most foreign brand stores here, so I brought you here to buy clothes. Mainly because people recognize British brands now, and they are more familiar with British-style clothing and shoes."
"Second Aunt, I don't know much about these things. Just buy whatever you say. I'm not good at choosing clothes."
"Our Chengyun doesn't need to be picky about clothes. He looks good in anything with this frame."
That being said, the second aunt and the two concubines started asking him to change into all kinds of clothes and then go shopping...
I don’t know how much he bought, shoes worth more than 500 yuan, suits worth more than 1,000 yuan, necklaces worth more than 3,000 yuan, and watches worth more than 5,000 yuan. Anyway, Ye Zhiqiu was numb.
After a few hours, the money spent was estimated to be tens of thousands. Although Ye Zhiqiu kept asking people not to buy it, his words were of no use at all!
There were two cars when they came, and three cars when they went back. Because the seats of the two security guards were full of things, they could only take a taxi to follow behind.
When Ye Zhiqiu and the others returned to the Ye family residence at No. 16, Ye Zuze was arranging for people to carry the safe upstairs.
He smiled and said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Haha, how was your experience? I'm terrified of your second aunt and the others. Every time I go shopping with them, I'm exhausted."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "I was thinking that you are really amazing, Second Uncle. I don't know how many sets of clothes I tried on. Second Aunt and the others just bought them. I spent too much money today and brought back so many things. There are still many clothes and shoes. They also need to be modified according to my size and foot model..."
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it. It's no big deal to spend a little money. Speaking of which, I haven't given you any pocket money yet. I'll get you an ID and a bank account tomorrow so I can give you some extra pocket money. I, your second uncle, treat everyone equally. You're twenty-one this year, so I'll calculate it based on thirty thousand yuan a year. Your cousins will all get the same amount of pocket money."
