1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Chen Xiao followed the man in black into the warehouse and stopped at the door of a room.

The man in black turned and looked at Chen Xiao.

"Zhang Aiguo should have told you that we are only responsible for selling, not for delivery or installation."

This was exactly what Chen Xiao wanted. After the transaction was completed, he would put the items into the space and take them away after the man in black left.

Then the man in black opened the door and walked in with Chen Xiao.

There are 6 freezers in the room at this time.

Chen Xiao opened the freezer and checked it, then took out 3000 yuan and handed it to the man in black.

While the man in black was counting the banknotes, Chen Xiao checked the freezer again.

It’s a pity that there is no electricity here, otherwise I would have to try it out.

After a while, the man in black counted the banknotes and found that there were exactly 3000 yuan.

He stuffed all the 3000 yuan into his pocket, then bowed and said goodbye.

"Brother, we'll meet again if we're destined to."

"There's nothing wrong with the freezer. We have a seven-day warranty. If you have any questions, you can come directly to me."

Then the man in black dodged and ran outside quickly.

After a while, the figure disappeared.

"What a saying, the journey is long, but we'll meet again by chance."

"What a great seven-day warranty..."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, and the six freezers originally placed in the room disappeared instantly.

Chen Xiao was afraid that the man in black would break the rules and steal his bicycle again, so after collecting the freezer, he trotted out.

Back to Qin Huaiguo, Qin Huaiguo and Qin Dazhuang were out trading with Lao Bei.

In the yard, Qin Tieniu and his wife were watching three large iron pots steaming konjac.

While the two were busy and didn't notice him, Chen Xiao pushed open an empty room.

Then all the freezers in the space were taken out, neatly arranged in two rows, and placed in the room, leaving a one-meter-wide aisle in the middle.

Fortunately, there were electrical wires in the rooms, so Chen Xiao went out to buy two sockets and connected all the freezers to electricity.

As soon as the power was turned on, the compressor of the freezer started running, and soon there were waves of cold air coming from inside.

All six freezers are operating normally without any quality issues.

At this time, Qin Huaiguo's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

Qin Huaiguo and Qin Dazhuang each rode a bicycle.

"Huh? My brother-in-law is here?"

After Qin Huaiguo parked the car, he saw his brother-in-law's bicycle parked nearby.

Qin Dazhuang parked his bicycle next to him, took out a towel and carefully wiped the dirt off the bicycle.

This is his first bicycle. Although the owner's name is not his, Qin Dazhuang is still very happy. He rode it very carefully all day today.

I was afraid that I would accidentally damage the bicycle.

"Huaiguo, how is the transaction going?" Qin Tieniu stopped working and asked.

"There will definitely be no accidents." Qin Huaiguo said, patting his bulging backpack.

"Dad, when did my brother-in-law come? It's just right to give this money to my brother-in-law."

"Your brother-in-law is here? When did he come? Why didn't I know?" Qin Tieniu wondered.

Zhang Cuilan on the side also stood up and spoke.

"I guess you're too dedicated to your work."

"I didn't see Chen Xiao's bicycle parked there. Who else could it be if not Chen Xiao?"

At this moment, Chen Xiao happened to walk out of the room.

"Mom is right, Dad, you were too focused on your work just now."

"Seeing you two working so hard, I didn't feel comfortable disturbing you."

"Brother-in-law, this is the money I made from selling konjac cakes today, a total of 2500 yuan. Please count it." Qin Huaiguo ran to Chen Xiao and handed the backpack to Chen Xiao.

I just spent 3000 yuan to buy a freezer, and now I have immediately recovered 2500 yuan.

The current amount of money in the space has reached 5480 yuan.

After taking the backpack, Chen Xiao said to the few people.

"Mom, Dad, and Huaiguo, come with me into the house and take a look."

"Just now, while you were working, I bought some good things."

Several people followed Chen Xiao into the house, and then everyone opened their eyes wide.

Zhang Cuilan pointed at the freezer and stammered.

"Chen Xiao, what is this?"

Chen Xiao opened a freezer and explained it to several people.

"This is the freezer."

"Freezer? What is that?" Several people asked in confusion in unison.

Not to mention the 50s, even in the 80s, more than half of the people didn't know what a freezer was.

"A freezer is a machine that freezes food. The temperature inside is below 0 degrees Celsius. Even in the scorching summer, if you put something in it and refrigerate it overnight, it will immediately freeze into ice when you take it out the next day!"

"Is it so magical?" Several people gathered around the freezer.

They reached into the freezer and sure enough, a cool breeze hit them.

"Chen Xiao, you are not planning to use the freezer to refrigerate konjac, are you?" Qin Tieniu guessed the purpose of Chen Xiao buying the freezer.

The weather is getting warmer day by day. If the freezing problem is not solved, the konjac noodles will not have the chewy and crispy texture.

Chen Xiao bought six freezers at once, definitely for refrigerating konjac.

"Dad, you're absolutely right. I am indeed planning to use it to refrigerate konjac." Chen Xiao looked at Qin Tieniu and smiled.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Konjac can only be kept in the freezer for a maximum of six hours. Otherwise, it will be frozen and damaged if kept for too long."

“Then there won’t be a chewy and crispy texture.”

Then Chen Xiao taught a few people how to use the freezer.

After making sure he had learned everything, Chen Xiao rode his bike home.

Before leaving, he also told a few people that someone would come to deliver konjac tomorrow, and at that time, it would be the same as before, and no one could be left alone in the compound, and everyone had to go out.

It was already late at night when I got home.

Qin Huairu brought a basin of hot water and washed Chen Xiao's feet personally.

Chen Xiao felt comfortable while enjoying Qin Huairu's foot massage. After such a massage, his originally tired body felt a lot more relaxed.

These days, Chen Xiao comes back at this time almost every day. Although he doesn't do any physical work, he is still physically and mentally exhausted.

At present, the freezers for Konjac Shuang have been purchased and the staff has been gathered, so there is nothing to do anymore.

Next, all you have to do is lie down and collect money every day.

After washing his feet, Chen Xiao lay on the bed.

"Chen Xiao, you must be tired. How about I massage your shoulders for you?" Qin Huairu said softly.

"Just a shoulder massage..."

Then, Qin Huairu wanted to say something else, but she stammered and couldn't utter a word.

This period of silence lasted for another two hours.

Only then did Chen Xiao fall asleep contentedly.

Nothing important happened in the next few days. Chen Xiao went to work on time and waited at home to collect his money.

Excluding the cost of the konjac seasoning, Chen Xiao can earn a net income of nearly 2300 yuan every day.

Of course, this does not include Qin Huaiguo’s share of the profits, nor Qin Dazhuang’s salary.
