Chapter 501: like entering another world
Chapter 501 is like entering another world
Happy City Power Station is finally completed.
After Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao visited together, while the circuit installations were continuously improved, they also began to solicit the wishes of the public to install electric wires in thousands of households and popularize the use of electric lights.
Each area has a person in charge to promote it. Su Susu came back from work and saw many people crowded around the building management, followed by the building management, and heard the building management loudly propaganda: "On the fifth of next month, one person must be left on the first floor. At home, the imperial court will send someone to install the wires, so that the lights can be used in the future, but if no one is at home, come to me to register."
Su Susu asked inexplicably: "What is a wire and what is an electric light?"
The building manager explained in a hoarse voice, "Wires are a way to transmit electricity, just like faucet pipes. As long as electricity is used, we will no longer need to buy candles and oil lamps for lighting in our building in the future. Everyone only needs to pay regularly. The electricity bill is fine.”
As soon as these words came out, many people were dissatisfied and said: "I don't even light candles and oil lamps at home, and I have to pay the fee. Isn't it too pitiful."
The building manager re-emphasized, "I've told you that how much electricity you use is up to you. You don't have to. You won't be charged at the end of the month. If you use it, you will definitely have to pay."
Su Susu wondered, "Is it better to use electricity than to use candle oil lamps?"
The floor manager's voice was unusually hoarse, and after moistening a large cup of tea, he said, "Have you seen the leather shop in the center of the city? Through the glass window, the shiny and dazzling things inside will replace candles and kerosene lamps in the future. , not only does it have no oil smoke, but it also won't catch fire, and if you count the electricity consumption, it's only similar to a candle oil lamp."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised and delighted, "So high-quality things are installed at home, only at the same price as oil lamps and candles!?"
The building manager affirmed: "What are you doing, hurry up, register on the first floor first, on the sixth of next month, register on the second floor, and so on, if you are not sure, you can read the watch on the notice board, and ask others if you are illiterate. ."
The building manager spent a lot of time talking, but Su Susu understood it, and another wave of people stopped work and stopped to ask why.
Su Susu felt tired for her.
Back home, tomorrow has already cooked the food wisely.
Wang Fu will go home today, Su Susu took another piece of meat from the balcony, cut it into thin slices, and fried a plate of pepper meat.
Wang Fu's footsteps came, and Su Susu and Ming'er hurried to greet him.
The happy smiling faces of his wife and children, and the sumptuous meals on the table, Wang Fu felt that this was the best day in the world.
Wang Fu picked up his son and made a circle, "Daddy, look, are you fat?"
Morning said happily: "I'm fat, my mother said that my chin has grown fat."
Wang Fu laughed, "It's good to be fat, I'm lucky, my father will pay the monthly payment next month, and our family will be able to buy an apartment bigger than this."
Wang Fu’s mine is 5 taels a month, and he often works overtime, plus seasonal allowances, and sometimes he can reach 7 taels.
In addition to what Su Susu earns, their family earns about ten taels of silver a month.
This apartment is a one-bedroom and one-bedroom. Tomorrow is small, so I can make do with it, but when tomorrow is big, it will not work.
They can't afford to buy a villa now. They need to make a down payment on a bank loan and buy a three-bedroom, one-bedroom apartment, which is more than enough.
Morning said in surprise: "Really?"
Wang Fu pinched his increasingly chubby face, "Dad, what are you doing? Soon, our family will be able to move into a big house. After a few days, Dad will take your mother and son to see the house."
Su Susu filled the rice, but asked: "I remember that houses are in short supply now, so there should be no existing houses."
Many of the people who came with them had just moved out of the tent just now.
Everyone is working hard. Now that there are banks that can lend money, who doesn’t want to have a real home, once there is a new real estate, they scramble to book it.
Wang Fu smiled and said: "There is no existing house, we can buy it from others!"
In the first batch of Xiaoyao City, some people wanted to change villas, and they had vacant houses in their hands. When Wang Fu heard the introduction of the middleman, he was thinking.
Su Susu's eyes lit up and said happily, "That's great, we'll go take a look when we have time."
Wang Fu met his wife's satisfied smile, and gave Ming'er a chopstick of meat with great satisfaction, "Eat more, the brain will be smart, and I will find a light job in the future."
Ming'er nodded, then suddenly said: "Then we will also install electric lights in our new house? We have used them in our elementary school. They are very bright, have no smell, don't dazzle your eyes at all, and you are not afraid of accidentally setting the book on fire. ."
Wang Fu smiled and said: "Then it must be installed. It is popular in our mines. It's good. I thought at the time, it would be nice if we could use such convenient lights in our house. I didn't think so, it didn't take long , was notified."
Su Susu looked at the father and son and said with a smile: "In just one year, our current life, I still have an unreal feeling."
Wang Fu also laughed: "Yes, it's like entering another world! If people told me that Xiaoyao Kingdom was like this when I was still farming in my hometown, I would definitely scold him for coaxing ghosts. "
Ming'er said cheerfully: "Father, if you go back and talk now, people will scold you for coaxing ghosts."
Wang Fu suddenly felt a little sad when he thought of his eldest brother and second brother in his hometown. When they were leaving, the family couldn't open the pot and couldn't support so many people.
For a few taels of wages, I would give it a try with the mentality of having no return. Who would have thought that it would be such a great creation.
He couldn't help thinking, if only he had persuaded the eldest brother and the second brother to come along.
Su Susu knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and comforted: "Our Xiaoyao Country's firearms are so powerful, Ling Guo will definitely not dare to attack, one day, they will be reunited with the eldest brother and the second brother."
Wang Fu smiled, "Our empress ruled the country well, she is wise and martial, she will definitely do it."
The apartment belongs to the property of the imperial court, and it is mandatory to install the electric wire, while the villa and the countryside are voluntarily registered whether to install the electric wire or not.
If you want to install it, you have to pay the installation fee separately, which is not expensive, only a penny, and a free light.
is this money, Mrs. Luo is not happy.
She was even more unhappy when she heard that she would have to pay electricity bills in the future.
The two sons did not allow them to install electrical wiring in their homes. They also emphasized, "We usually don't use oil lamps and candles very much. When it's dark, we go to bed.
The family really doesn't lack these few money, but Luo God's attitude is firm, she is also old, and afraid of irritating her, Luo Daluo Er also stopped thinking about installing wires.
Waiting for the big guys, the electricity is on in the house, and the lights are bright and beautiful, and Mrs. Luo even called them all prodigals.
As a result, the neighbor bought a headlamp, charged it, went to catch crabs on the reef at night, caught a big basket, and sold a lot of money.
Mrs. Luo immediately ran back and asked her eldest son, "Come on, ask someone to come to our house to install the wires! I just bought a headlamp."
