Chapter 240: Volga, Electric Fan, Different Everyday(1/3)
Xu Damao walked around the Volga and admired it for a while.
Xu Damao: "Commander Hou, is your Railway Administration so powerful? Volga."
"I'm afraid there aren't many of this car in the country right now, right?"
Duan Chang Hou: "Don't look at me, I'm not qualified to be equipped with a car now."
"This will be used to receive the Russians later, but it's just for me to get familiar with first."
Xu Damao: "That's great. I'll take advantage of you today and take a ride in a high-end car."
The Volga's car condition is much better than that of the Jeep, and the sound and shock absorption are quite comfortable.
When we drove to the courtyard, it naturally caused another sensation.
This is a car! A real car has treatment that even the factory director cannot enjoy.
After Xu Damao got off the bus, he took Duan Chang Hou to his home for a meeting.
As soon as they left, everyone behind them sighed. Xu Damao is so powerful now that he can even ride back in such a car.
After arriving at his home, Xu Damao naturally couldn't show his cowardice.
I bought good tea and cigarettes from the system store and arranged them directly with Duan Zhang Hou.
After the two chatted for a while and drank a cup of tea, Hou Duanchang said goodbye.
Xu Damao naturally wanted to send someone to the gate, but he didn't get on the bus.
Instead, he took out a wooden box from the trunk and said it was his first time at home.
I didn't bring anything good, so I left this here to save Xu Damao some trouble.
Save your energy? Is this a human thing? I don’t have any place to use my energy.
People say it's the first gift that comes to my door, so I'd be embarrassed if I don't accept it.
Although everyone is quite interested in what this guy who can drive a car and give Xu Damao as a gift is.
But after sending Duan Zhang Hou away, Xu Damao didn't even give them a chance to see it, and went back to the house directly carrying the box.
When I returned to the room and opened the box, I saw that it really saved me some energy.
"Watson brand" electric fan, this fan is a really good thing.
This brand imitated China's strange electric fan in 1914.
In 1915, my country's first finished electric fan was launched.
During this period, Yang Jichuan, Ye Youcai and Yuan Zongyao conspired to develop the electric fan industry.
The name "Watson" signifies the Chinese people's endless life and prosperity.
In 1926, the World's Fair was held in Philadelphia, USA, and the Watson brand electric fan won the Ding Silver Award in one fell swoop.
Not to mention the products on the market today, you can’t even find electric fan tickets.
The only production site is still in Shanghai, and now only the Railway Department and a few special large factories can get it.
Anyway, Xu Damao likes this thing very much. From now on, whether eating or doing anything else, he no longer has to be afraid of the heat.
Put the electric fan on the table and prepare to connect it and use it.
Only then did I realize that my home didn’t have any power sockets at all, so it was connected to a P.
Xu Damao quickly turned around and went out to buy some wires and sockets so that he could enjoy the cool breeze at night.
When Xu Damao came back, he was blocked by the third uncle again.
Third uncle: "Da Mao, look at what happened..."
Xu Damao: "Third uncle, I really don't have time recently. I'm rarely even in the factory every day."
"We are all old neighbors, I will definitely help with this matter."
"But since your family Jie Cheng didn't say anything, he made up his mind to let me help him fight the thunder."
"Then you should at least give me enough time to understand the situation."
"After all, not everyone gives me face, and there are too many people I can't afford to offend."
Third uncle: "This damn kid keeps saying no, and I can't do anything with him."
Xu Damao: "The third uncle, Jie Cheng, can be considered a working class person after all. There are some things that he really needs to take on recently."
"I have asked someone to inquire about his affairs. I will tell you as soon as possible after others give me the news."
"That's really troublesome Damao. I'm just waiting for news from you."
After Xu Damao separated from the third uncle, he returned to his room and threw the line.
Only then did I realize that I didn't dare to connect the electrical connector and needed to go outside to pull the switch.
These days, the electricity consumption of a street is only so much, because the only electrical appliance in every household is a light bulb.
So the electric switches are all collective, and their compound shares one electric switch.
The switch was still placed in the front yard, so Xu Damao had no choice but to call Liu Feng.
"Liu Feng, I will pull down the switch in a minute. You can help me keep an eye on it here. Don't let anyone send in the power yet. I will quickly connect the two wires."
Liu Feng: "Director Xu, why don't you let me pick up this line?"
"I'll do it myself. There will be a power outage. You're not as familiar with the situation in the room as I am."
Xu Damao then took out the only electrical appliance in their home, a "flashlight", and then started to turn on the switch.
The switch was pulled down, and the whole yard was filled with the sound of a power outage and a power outage.
Xu Damao hurried back and planned to connect the wires as quickly as possible.
After returning home, there was a chair on the table, and Xu Damao stood on it and started wiring.
When Xu Damao started wiring, another flashlight shined next to him.
It turned out that Qin Huairu saw him wanting to pick up the phone and came to help him with a flashlight.
After Xu Damao picked up the phone, he asked Qin Huairu to wait in the room.
He is going to deliver electricity now, and he will enjoy the electric fan for the first time when he comes back.
When Xu Damao came to the electric switch in the front yard, he found that the power outage was caused by someone turning on the switch, and they were all chatting below.
After Xu Damao said sorry to everyone, he sent the switch up.
Then Xu Damao said hello to everyone and left quickly. He was still waiting to turn on the fan.
After returning to the room, Qin Huairu was looking back and forth around the electric fan.
"Da Mao, is this a desktop electric fan? I've seen it in a magazine."
Xu Damao: "Well, this is called a desktop electric fan. The friend who came here today gave it to me."
In this era, a few major manufacturers had electric fans, but they were all antique-level ceiling fans.
The usage time is also very strict, generally it can only be turned on for 10 minutes, otherwise it will easily burn out.
It will take about 80 years for the real electric fan technology to pass the test and become popular in ordinary people's homes.
That is, not long after that storm, everything started again.
The table fan nowadays is really a rare item, just like Qin Huairu, I have only seen it in newspapers or illustrated magazines.
Xu Damao turned on the power and turned the switch, and the electric fan whirred.
The wind was really strong, and Qin Huairu wanted to get closer and feel it.
As a result, he was stopped by Xu Damao.
"You, stay a little further away, and don't let the electric fan blow directly on your belly. It's not good for the child."
The two of them discussed the use of the electric fan tonight.
Qin Huairu helped Xu Damao make tea, then turned and went back to the room next to him.
Xu Damao was blowing on the electric fan and slowly flipping through the book, with brewed tea in front of him.
This life is becoming more and more promising, although it is still far from the life of the future.
But for people like Xu Damao, I am already very satisfied.
In the dead of night, Xu Damao raced the wires from the beams to the house.
I held the electric fan and went to Qin Huairu to discuss the latest topic.
That is the problem of how to play orchestral music correctly under an electric fan.
When I left, I left the electric fan here temporarily.
My wife is not at home recently, and I have many people I need to express condolences to.
He is often away from home, so let Qin Huairu use it first.
I repeatedly asked her not to blow the fan for a long time and not to blow it on her stomach.
