How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 154 Self-built simple shower room
"Don't lie to me. You have all the imported foreign cars, but don't have anything good?" Lao Wang said, pointing at the bicycle on the tricycle.

Yes, at that time, all bicycles were imported, because the first domestic brand of bicycles, Fei Ge, had only started production this year.

Not to mention whether it has started selling now, even if it has started selling, it is impossible for it to be broken at this time.

So the bicycles on the road now, including those that have become broken, are all imported from abroad.

Also known as a rickshaw.

In fact, before 1955, many things sold in the country were imported. It was not until 1955, after the implementation of public-private partnership, that imports decreased a lot.

It cannot be said that it is much less, it’s just that the imported items are different. For example, more mechanical equipment needs to be imported.

"Okay! If you say so, then so be it." Li Le didn't want to argue about this.

The things were unloaded quickly and then weighed. It turned out that these things sold for quite a bit of money.

This broken tricycle was sold for over 800,000 yuan. You have to know that this is pure profit! I didn't spend a penny on it.

And there are several broken furniture items not included! If all that is included, ninety dollars is definitely fine.

This is the price based on broken furniture. If it is repaired, the price will be higher.

After getting the money, Li Le first went to buy some mutton, then bought a few bottles of wine, and rode his tricycle back home.

I am planning to have mutton hotpot tonight. As for the vegetables, they are already harvested and are sold everywhere outside.

And Li Le didn’t need to buy it because he already had it at home.

When I got home, I saw Zhao Yanran and her sister drinking tea and reading in the yard.

Li Le shouted, "Yanran."

Zhao Yanran quickly put the book down, stood up and asked, "Brother Le, what's the matter?"

"Cleaning up this mutton, cutting it up, we'll have mutton hotpot tonight."

"Ok!"

Zhao Yanhan also put down the book at this time and said, "I'll go pick some vegetables."

While Zhao Yanran and her sister were busy cooking, Li Le went to the bathhouse to take a bath.

To be honest, it’s a bit unreasonable to go to the bathhouse to take a bath at this time, but there is no other way because there is no place to take a bath at home.

After Li Le came back, he looked around the yard and thought: It seems I need to find a place to take a shower.

Not long after Li Le came back from taking a shower, Ma Feng and the others also came back one after another.

"Brother, why are you back so early today?" Ma Feng asked.

"It's not too early. I just got back a little while ago. By the way, when you guys go out to collect scrap tomorrow, keep an eye out to see if there are any broken oil drums to sell."

"Brother, what do you want to break the oil drum for?"

"Don't worry about this. If you have it, just buy it back. You can buy a few more."

"I know bro."

"Hmm! What smells so good?" Li Daila asked, sniffing his nose.

"You have a sharp nose. Let's eat hotpot tonight." Li Le patted Li Daila and said.

"Wow! Hot pot! Brother, are you rich?" Li Daila almost jumped up with excitement.

"Get lost, you can't eat hot pot unless you get rich?"

"Uh!" Li Daila scratched his head and said, "It seems possible."

"Okay, go wash up, dinner will be served soon." That night, everyone was very satisfied with the delicious hotpot, including Li Le.

After breakfast the next morning, we set off again. There are some things that you may never see if you don't pay attention.

But if you pay attention to it, you will find that it is everywhere. When everyone came back that night, there were four big oil drums in the yard.

Needless to say, these oil drums were brought back by Ma Feng and his team, but no one knows where they got them from.

But one thing is that it is absolutely not stealing, which is absolutely prohibited here at Li Le.

With these four large oil drums, Li Le started to take action. The first thing he had to do was to build a bathroom.

Of course the bathroom cannot be in the house, but there happens to be an open space between the main room and the west wing.

Li Le was ready to use it. First, he had to build a house. This house could not be built with bricks, it would be best to use wood.

Bricks are hard to buy, but wood is easy to get! There are lots of them outside the city.

Li Le gave an order to Ma Feng and the others, asking them to go out and look for wood tomorrow, no matter how big or small.

Of course, Li Le was not idle either. He also had to get things, such as asphalt. This thing was not rare in later generations, but it was not easy to get in this era.

The next day, no one went out to collect waste; everyone was busy looking for things.

Li Le first went to the store to buy a few oil pipes. He had no choice but to use the oil pipes as he couldn't find any other pipes. The store didn't have any other pipes for sale either, so he had to use the oil pipes.

Actually, they are all similar.

Li Le also found some tar, not much, about 20 pounds. He went home, heated it with fire, and then applied it on the oil barrel.

Four oil drums were coated with about 20 kilograms of asphalt, and a thick layer of asphalt was applied on the oil drums. In fact, the thicker the better for heat preservation.

At this time, everyone came back one after another, and each of them had a lot of wood on their tricycles.

Li Le began to build the shed, starting with the four corners, which needed to be buried in the soil with thicker wood.

I was busy until after two in the afternoon, and finally built the shed. Then I put the four oil drums on it.

It's easier to get work done with more people! Basically, Li Le didn't need to do anything, Ma Feng and the others did the work.

After the oil drum was put on, Li Le went up to fix it, then took out the oil pipe and connected it to the oil drum.

It just so happens that oil barrels have two openings, one big and one small. The big opening is made into the water inlet and the small opening is made into the water outlet.

As for the shower head, Li Le found a large piece of iron sheet and used a hammer to smash it into a square iron bucket.

Then use nails to nail many small holes underneath.

Without a water temperature regulator, Li Le asked Ma Feng to go to the store and buy two faucets.

One is connected to the oil barrel, the other is connected to the water pipe, and both faucets are fixed on the iron bucket.

If you want it to be hotter, turn on the faucet connected to the oil barrel. If you want it to be cooler, turn on the faucet connected to the tap.

In this way, a simplified shower room was built.

This is also thanks to the good location of Li Le’s house, which is in the city center and next to the Forbidden City. You know, in the current imperial capital, there are still many places without running water!
Without running water, it is impossible to set up a simple shower room.

The shower room is ready, but it is impossible to use it today because the sun is about to set when it is ready and it is impossible to get hot.

But it doesn’t matter, it can be used tomorrow. Seeing that everyone was dirty, Li Le took everyone to the bathhouse.

When they came back from taking a shower, Zhao Yanran and her sister had already prepared the meal. They had a delicious meal and then went to rest.
