Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Chapter 454: Thoughts from the Hot Weather

"Uncle, this is a lot."

Sha Zhu took the brown paper bag handed to him by Cai Quanwu, weighed it in his hand and said.

After saying that, Sha Zhu opened the brown paper bag, poured some mung beans and red beans into each bucket, and soaked them together.

After doing all this, Sha Zhu handed the brown paper back to Cai Quanwu.

After Cai Quanwu took the brown paper, Sha Zhu took the two buckets back home.

After putting the two buckets under the eaves, Sha Zhu went home to get a large basin and prepared to go to the pond to wash the reed leaves.

After Sha Zhu brought the basin and reed leaves over, Cai Quanwu folded the brown paper, put it in his pocket, and helped to wash.

It is very easy to clean the reed leaves. Just put them in water and rinse them twice. It didn't take long for the two of them to clean the reed leaves.

After cleaning, they filled the basin with some clean water, put the reed leaves in the basin, and the two carried the basin home.

"Finally done, we can take a break now." Sha Zhu said happily after the two men carried the basin back home and put it on the ground.

Cai Quanwu looked at the happy Sha Zhu and reminded him, "There is still something else to do."

"Is there anything else?" Sha Zhu looked at Cai Quanwu and asked doubtfully.

Cai Quanwu walked to the door, pointed at the fish in the basket and said:

"Don't you see the little fish in this basket?"

"Did you see it? What's wrong? Aren't those used to dry the fish?" Sha Zhu didn't know Cai Quanwu's plan and thought that those fish were used to dry the fish.

"What kind of fish are you drying?"

"Wrap it in some flour, fry it in a pan, and make it a snack to go with wine in the evening."

"Give the rest to Yu Shui and the others as snacks later."

"Fried fish? That would take a lot of oil."

Sha Zhu was extremely unwilling to accept Cai Quanwu's arrangement and tried to find excuses to shirk his responsibility.

He was just about to relax when this happened again.

I have to wait to make rice dumplings later and cook in the evening.

He felt that this day off was more tiring than working.

"Didn't I bring back a lot of oil? Have you used it up?" Cai Quanwu didn't hear the evasiveness in Sha Zhu's words and asked in confusion.

"There is oil, but I feel it's a bit of a waste." Sha Zhu made an excuse.

"It's okay. After frying the fish, the oil will settle and can be used to cook."

“It’s not like it explodes every day.”

Cai Quanwu waved his hand and said arrogantly.

"Okay." Although Sha Zhu was reluctant, he didn't dare to refute, and his legs moved towards the door involuntarily.

I can only sigh in my heart that my life is miserable.

After Sha Zhu left, Cai Quanwu felt bored and prepared to go home and lie down for a while.

When he walked to the door, he saw the turtle in the basket curled up there motionless. Cai Quanwu felt malicious and kicked the basket, scaring the turtle so much that it immediately moved.

Looking at Wang Ba's frightened expression, Cai Quanwu walked home with satisfaction.

After returning home, Cai Quanwu went into his room, lay down on the kang, and prepared to take a nap.

I tossed and turned on the kang for a while, but couldn't fall asleep. The room felt stuffy.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Cai Quanwu was lying on the kang and couldn't help missing the air conditioner.

Air conditioning is definitely impractical, but fans are possible.

Because there is an electric fan in his rental house.

Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu came to the door and entered the rental house.

In the rental house, Cai Quanwu took out the electric fan and tried it out.

No problem, you can use it.

However, Cai Quanwu had never taken out the electric fan before, and there was only one.

Looking at the electric fan in front of him, Cai was puzzled.

This electric fan definitely cannot be taken out and used directly.

It's very different from things of this era.

Once discovered, it will definitely attract attention.

When you are reported, you will be labeled an enemy spy and you will never be able to clear yourself of the blame even if you jump into the Yellow River.

You are not an enemy spy. Where did you get this thing?

black market?

The people above are not stupid, won’t they investigate?

There is no black market in Beijing that is not under the control of the government.

If you can't tell me the way out, then you are an enemy spy.

Unless you reveal the existence of the rental house.

In that case, one can imagine the fate.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you have a motor, you can modify it and use it.

Cai Quanwu is now thinking about disassembling the motor and finding a carpenter to make a one-to-one replica of the wooden fan blades and install them.

In this way, a simple fan is produced.

And he doesn't have high requirements, as long as it can be turned and used.

Considering that wooden fan blades are definitely not as strong as one-piece ones, you cannot connect them to the highest gear when wiring them, and can only connect them to the second gear at most.

There was no feeling of wind in the first show.

Finally, we need to ask the carpenter to make a few more pairs of wooden fan blades so that they can be replaced in time if they are damaged.

For safety reasons, we have to make a shell with wire.

The more he thought about it, the more things became apparent. Cai Quan felt overwhelmed and decided to stop thinking about it.

Afterwards, Cai Quanwu took the fan and left the rental house so that it could be refreshed.

Otherwise, it's just a fan. If he breaks the motor when he disassembles it, it will be troublesome.

Motors are not easy to deal with these days.

Don’t be fooled by what some novels say, you can see discarded bicycles, electric fans, radios and the like at any scrap collection station.

That's all bullshit.

Even if the bicycle is already falling apart, it will still be more expensive to sell it to a bicycle repair shop than to a scrapyard.

It's stupid to not do it if you can make more money.

The same goes for electric fans and radios; even if they are broken and cannot be repaired, people will sell them to repair shops or consignment stores rather than selling them at scrap yards.

It can't be sold at a scrap yard for much.

Don't assume that everything sold in a consignment store is usable.

In fact, many of the items in there are unusable, such as watches. The consignment shops have many broken ones for sale.

If you buy it at a low price and it can be repaired, then you're getting a bargain.

Of course, the chances of this happening are very small.

Because before people sell it to a consignment store, they will definitely take it to a repair shop to ask first.

The repair shop said they could fix it, and they would definitely do it as long as the price was not too outrageous.

If you don't use it yourself after it's repaired and instead consign it to a store to sell, the price will definitely be much higher.

Some even differ by several times.

We are not stupid, so we naturally know what to choose.

After thinking it over, Cai Quanwu took the electric fan and left the rental house. This way, he could bring it back in and have a new one the next day.

After taking out the fan, Cai Quanwu was about to turn it on to blow air, only to find that there was no socket in the room.

Alas, if you want to use a fan, you still have a long way to go.

In desperation, Cai Quanwu brought the electric fan into the rental house again.

After coming out, Cai Quanwu lay down on the kang again.

As for the electric fan, it will have to be put on hold for the time being.

After lying down for a while, I heard He Yushui knocking on the door and shouting:

"Uncle, are you asleep?"

"Didn't you say you would take me to buy soda?"

"I'm coming." Cai Quanwu responded from inside the house after hearing He Yushui calling him.

Then he got up from the kang and opened the door.

"Uncle, are you sleeping at home?" He Yushui saw Cai Quanwu, opened his eyes wide, and asked even though he knew the answer.

"What do you say?"

"I just fell asleep and you woke me up."

Cai Quanwu poked He Yushui's forehead with his finger and started lying.

"Uncle, I didn't know you fell asleep." He Yushui tried to be clever, blinking his eyes with an innocent expression on his face.

"Girl, I don't know you, you are very cunning." Cai Quanwu glared at He Yushui who looked innocent and exposed her disguise.

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, He Yushui blushed, hugged his arm and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, I really don't have any."
