Chapter 190 Sisters' Surprise
Chapter 190 Sisters' Surprise
"So expensive!" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.
One US dollar is two dollars and forty-six cents! One hundred and sixty US dollars is more than three hundred and ninety, nearly four hundred dollars!
This is just a floor fan, but its price is more than twice as expensive as domestically produced floor fans.
Moreover, the quality of domestically produced floor fans is no worse than that of imported ones.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a ticket for an electric fan, so he couldn't buy a domestic one.
"How much is this fan?"
"A desk fan is eighty dollars."
Damn, 80 dollars is not cheap! It's almost 200 yuan, which is also about twice as expensive as the domestic ones.
The most important thing is that the quality may not be as good as domestic products. You have to know that domestic materials are genuine!
Even an electric fan can be used for decades without any problems, and its main materials are iron and aluminum.
Although this aluminum is not an aluminum alloy, it is also cast aluminum! The material is excellent.
But look at this imported table fan, the outer shell is made of plastic and its main feature is its lightness.
There is no other way, I have to buy it even if it is expensive! At least I don’t need a ticket.
"I want three."
He could have just bought two, he didn't need any.
But after thinking about it, I decided it would be better to buy three, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.
Also, he was sure that if there were only two, his mother would let him use it.
He didn't care about spending only an extra eighty US dollars. Besides, US dollars could only be used here and nowhere else.
"Are you sure?" the salesperson asked.
Li Jiayi took out the US dollar again, pumped his hands a few times and said, "I'm sure."
"Okay, I'll give you a ticket right away."
"Wait a moment, I'll check out some other things and open them together later."
"Ok."
Li Jiayi came to the refrigerator first, but left immediately after asking the price.
Are you kidding? A refrigerator costs more than 1,200 US dollars.
Even if he doesn't buy an electric fan, he can't afford this thing!
More than 1,200 US dollars, which is 3,000 RMB, this price is really outrageous.
This is equivalent to nearly three years' salary of his parents combined!
Also, the electricity he uses at home may not be enough to power this thing.
And this thing seems to be useless in their house, because he has space! Static space.
Just take out enough each day to eat for the day.
He was more interested in the washing machine, because it was useful and he could run the electricity at home.
The most important thing is that with this thing, my mom or elder sister no longer has to wash clothes in the winter.
“How much is this washing machine?”
"Five hundred dollars."
Although the price is still very expensive, it is more expensive than a domestic 14-inch TV.
But he still decided to buy the washing machine and the TV. Not to mention that he didn't have the tickets, he wouldn't buy them even if he had the tickets, at least not now.
This washing machine is really useful. It may be a bit expensive, but don’t forget that it doesn’t require a ticket!
"I want this washing machine. Can you tell me how much it costs?"
"The total is seven hundred and forty dollars. If there is no problem, I will issue you an invoice right away."
"and many more."
"What else?"
"Please add another fan for me."
Li Jiayi thought of Liao Kai. Anyway, he had some extra US dollars in his hand. In that case, there would be no problem in giving one to Liao Kai.
You know, Liao Kai has bought him a lot of good stuff! There are already dozens of little gadgets in the space that Liao Kai bought for him.
Although they are just small gadgets, there are a lot of them!
After the invoices were issued, Li Jiayi started to make purchases like crazy. He wanted to spend all the US dollars he had.
This is not about buying electrical appliances, but about buying food, such as chocolate, imported biscuits, etc.
The total amount was US$1,057. After deducting US$820 for a washing machine and an electric fan, he used the remaining US$237 to buy all the imported food.
The main thing was chocolate. As for biscuits and other things, I just bought a few casually because domestic biscuits are not bad either.
The reason why everyone buys chocolate is because it is not available in China!
Because there were a lot of things, people wanted to deliver them to him, but he refused. However, they still had them delivered to him outside.
Even though the salesperson in the department store was well-informed, he was still surprised when he saw Li Jiayi's strange tricycle.
After putting the washing machine, electric fan and food into the box, Li Jiayi drove away on his tricycle.
He did not return to Houhai Grove, but went straight home. It would be better to send these things home first.
Eldest sister and second sister can use it now, you know there is no ice during the day!
You can imagine how hot it is for two people to study in the room. With an electric fan, it will be much more comfortable.
It's only the middle of the morning now, and except for those who don't have work, basically everyone has gone to work, so there are not many people in the hospital.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there are people there or not. The things are all in the box and no one else can see them.
"Ga-One is back?"
"Yes, Grandma Shao, are you feeling well?"
Grandma Shao is Cheng Qiaoyun’s mother-in-law and Shao Jianjun’s grandmother.
I have always been in poor health and take medicine frequently, but even so, I am never idle.
Ask my daughter-in-law Cheng Qiaoyun to go to the street office to get some matchboxes to paste.
"It's good. Now I can go out for a walk."
"That's good."
In fact, Grandma Shao used to be in good health, but her health suddenly deteriorated after her son passed away.
Fortunately, Cheng Qiaoyun was filial and took good care of the old couple, and their health gradually improved.
"Grandma Shao, you are busy, I will go back first." "Okay, okay, go back quickly! It's hot outside."
"Hello, Aunt Han."
"Add one."
Saying hello along the way, Li Jiayi returned home.
As soon as I got out of the car and closed the door, my second sister Li Jialin ran out of the house.
"Brother, why did you come back at this time? Are you here to bring ice to me and my elder sister?"
"No."
"Ah! No!"
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Although I'm not sending you ice cubes, it's something that can make you feel less hot."
Hearing her brother say this, Li Jialin's eyes lit up and asked, "What is it?"
Li Jiayi climbed onto the tricycle, opened the box, and took out a box from it.
The only thing that makes this imported electric fan better than domestic ones is the extra cardboard box on the outside.
Although she couldn't see what was inside, Li Jialin still recognized the pattern of the electric fan on the box.
"Electric...electric fan."
"Shh! Keep your voice down."
"Yeah!" Li Jialin quickly covered her mouth and nodded.
"Okay, take it back to the house and I'll install it for you later."
"Okay." Li Jialin excitedly hugged the baby and ran into the house.
Li Jiayi shook his head and took out another one from the box.
"Little brother."
"Big sister, come and help me get it."
"it is good."
There are four electric fans and one washing machine in total. The eldest and second sisters can take the electric fans, but they can't take the washing machine.
But we still have Li Jiayi. If it were another child, he might not be able to lift the washing machine.
But for Li Jiayi, this was not a problem. He moved it down easily and carried it into the house.
"Brother, is this a washing machine?" Li Jialin came over and asked.
"Hey, hey, hey, how do you know this is a washing machine?" Li Jiayi asked Erjin in surprise.
“I’ve seen it in a department store.”
"Uh! All right!"
"By the way, brother, why are there four electric fans?" Li Jialin then remembered what she was about to ask.
"One for mom and dad, one for you and big sister, and one for me."
"What about the remaining one?"
"The remaining one is for Uncle Liao. Uncle Liao has been buying me many gadgets that I like during this period."
"Well! It would be nice to give one to Uncle Liao. Our family doesn't need so many anyway." The eldest sister nodded and said.
"Yes!"
Neither the eldest sister nor the second sister asked about the origins of these things.
There is no need to ask. The main thing is that no matter what he brings back, as long as you ask him, he will say that he exchanged it with someone else.
After a long time, no one in my family asked about it anymore, and it was useless to ask.
But one thing is that they all know that their brother is capable and can get anything back.
Li Jiayi quickly installed the four electric fans. In fact, the installation was very simple and there were instructions.
The second sister quickly took an electric fan and placed it on the eight-immortals table, then plugged it in, and immediately a whirring wind started blowing.
"It's so cool!"
Li Jiayi looked at his second sister speechlessly. It was just an electric fan. How could it be cool?
It's such a hot day and all that's blowing is hot air. But it's understandable. I guess people of this age would feel the same way if they had an electric fan!
Unlike Li Jiayi, who came to realize that electric fans are not cool enough after experiencing various air conditioners in later generations.
"Sister, I have something to go out for, and I won't be back for lunch."
"Okay, go ahead!"
The eldest sister followed him out of the house, intending to close the door after he left.
Li Jiayi stuffed a piece of chocolate into his elder sister's hand.
All the chocolates and other things he bought from the department store this time were put into the space.
If he dared to take out these things, they would be destroyed by his second sister within two days.
"What is this?" the eldest sister asked in confusion.
"Imported chocolate, share it with your second sister."
"Little brother, you should keep this for yourself! I don't want it."
"Big sister, I still have some here. Don't tell the second sister, or I might not be able to keep it."
"Okay! I understand. I won't tell your second sister."
After leaving home, Li Jiayi went to the grove near Houhai, took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was just ten o'clock.
It was still early, so Li Jiayi took out a bamboo chair and a fishing rod and went fishing.
In the blink of an eye, it was night. Li Jiayi, who came back early, did not let anyone leave and waited until everyone came back.
"I have something to tell you all! Don't come here tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, you should go directly to my house."
"Li Jiayi, do you want us to go to your house to get peanuts and melon seeds?" asked the little black fat man.
"Yes, but you have to go through the back door when you go. Guo Detie knows how to get there. You can go together."
"Okay, if we go to your house, it'll be closer."
