Sun Qing immediately caught on and said seriously, "It's alright. Everyone has said that since I was young!"
The couple had never seen such a lively person. She was cheerful and outgoing, and her words made them want to laugh.
She was really a crowd pleaser!
"Uncle, let's go. I still have to buy a table after buying the jars." When she came out of the bank just now, she specially looked at the time. It was already 1.30 pm. She had to speed up!
"Okay."
The owner's surname was Li, so Sun Qing called them Uncle Li and Aunt Li.
Uncle Li drove a pedal tricycle. When they set off, he specially let Sun Qing sit behind. This way, it would be faster.
Just as Aunt Li had said, they arrived at the place where the liquefied gas tanks were sold in seven to eight minutes.
It was on the street, next to the furniture seller.
Nowadays, people don't have a strong sense of safety. In addition, liquefied gas was considered a rare thing. Many families in the county were still reluctant to use it. Did they all use a honeycomb coal stove to cook?
"Old Gao, I brought someone to buy your liquefied gas tank!" Uncle Li smiled and waved at the shop owner.
Sun Qing's smile deepened. The money in her hands had never been spent in vain.
"Old Li, you want to buy it?" Old Gao smiled as he walked out of the market.
Sun Qing also jumped down from the pedal tricycle.
"No, my relative is buying it. Sell it to us cheaper later." Uncle Li began to chat with Old Gao skillfully.
"Of course. When have I ever earned money from the person you introduced?" Old Gao chatted with Uncle Li for a while before starting to show Sun Qing the goods.
"The tank is sold separately from the stove. The small tank costs 20 yuan, and the big one costs 25 yuan. The stoves are all sold at the same price, 15 yuan. You were brought here by Old Li, so I won't charge you for the tubes. What kind do you want?" Old Gao smiled and looked at Sun Qing.
She knew a little about liquefied gas tanks. When she went on a trip to the guest house, there was no natural gas there, so she had to use tanks. Tanks had no quality problem, and the size was the same.
The things produced now were different from in the future. They were all made of real stuff, and just the outer layer of iron was twice as thick.
Choosing the big one would save her the trouble of having to go back and forth.
25 yuan included the money for the liquefied gas inside the tank. In addition to the 15 yuan for the stove, it was a total of 40 yuan. Seeing that she was willing to pay, the boss gave her a small iron pot too.
It was just a pity that the stove was a single stove. She couldn't cook vegetables and porridge at the same time. Oh well, she could just change to a double stove once it was out!
Old Gao helped her to install and adjust the tank. Then, he went straight to the furniture shop beside him to buy a long table.
"Old Tian, I brought my relative here to buy something!" Old Li shouted, immediately calling out the person who was dozing off inside.
Sun Qing sighed again. It was worth spending money here!
There were two long tables. One was for the stove, and the other was for the cutting board. Old Tian wanted 18 yuan, but Uncle Li haggled it to 15 yuan. They smiled and made a deal.
With an acquaintance like Uncle Li, it saved a lot of effort when buying things. When they passed by the small shop, Sun Qing spent 20 cents to buy two milk-flavored ice creams. Uncle Li was happy and directly pulled Sun Qing along to match the pots, pans, and other things. The entire set didn't exceed 20 yuan!
Filled with one or three rounds of things, they went straight to where they lived.
The deeper they went, the wider Uncle Li's eyes widened.
"Xiao Qing, your house is in the same direction as mine?" Uncle Li said in surprise.
At the entrance of the alley, Sun Qing led the way in. She smiled and explained, "My house is at the innermost area. Uncle Li, where is your house?"
The innermost area? There was only one place in the innermost area!
Thinking of this, Uncle Li immediately looked at Sun Qing strangely.
