After Zhu Pingan said goodbye to the Shang Zhifu, he went back to a courtyard house on Fulu Street in Lumengli, the gate is a golden pillar gate style, there are two stone lions in front of the house, and there is a plaque on the house with the name of “Zhu’s House”.
That’s right, this is Li Shu’s residence in Suzhou.
The day before yesterday, Li Shu sent people to buy and set up, the former owner of the mansion is a local official in Suzhou, just transferred out of Suzhou, dragged his family to live in the office, the mansion hung in the dentist to sell it. Because of the urgent sale, the price compared with the market price, a 20% discount, but requires full payment transaction on the day of payment. This is a large number of people interested in a lot of people, but no one out of silver to buy, perhaps waiting for the price may also say, in any case, hung nearly half a month, there is no deal.
Then Li Shu sent someone to take it down.
Li Shu has always been not to compromise themselves, although the mansion was purchased the day before yesterday, but has been redecorated and arranged, decorated very elegant and warm and comfortable.
The good thing is that if you don’t use paint in ancient times, there is basically no formaldehyde and other pollution. Moreover, Li Shu remembers Zhu Pingan’s reminder, specially instructed the following people, when decorating and arranging the mansion, don’t use paint.
Therefore, it was not a problem to move in so soon.
Li Shu arrived in Suzhou half a day later than Zhu Ping An and arrived in Suzhou in the evening, not long after she had moved into Zhu’s residence.
It was very late in the evening, and the wind was as cold as a knife. There was no doubt that the winter in Suzhou was also very cold and wet.
But compared to the cold and wet Suzhou, this mansion is much warmer, especially indoors, just like not in a season.
One in winter, the other in summer.
From the outside, if you look at the right angle, you can see that many rooms in this mansion are steaming with white hot air. That was produced by the liquefaction of the cold air outside when it came into contact with the hot air coming out of the house.
“Woah, woah, woah, miss, why are the rooms so warm?On this journey, it was freezing outside and one’s nose was almost running, but the room is so warm, as warm as summer?I’ve taken off my fox fur and all my bikini armour, but it’s still so hot that I want to sweat.”
Just as Painter opened the curtain, a wave of hot air hit her, and when she stepped into the room, it was as if she had stepped from winter into summer, so she was forced to take off her fox fur, and then took off her pi armour.
At first, the painting also thought that the house put a lot of fire pits to be so warm, but turned round and did not find a fire pit, could not help but be surprised and opened her mouth wide, a face of disbelief said.
“Painter, see those iron pipes on the wall, that’s the reason the room has become so warm. This is the heating device that brother Zhu said he sent someone to install only yesterday. At that time, when brother Zhu told me that it could make the room as warm as early summer, I still thought that brother Zhu was exaggerating. I didn’t expect that it could actually make the room so warm.”
Li Shu took off her ermine fur and was wearing a single coat, watching the heating pipes in the room with a happy and excited face, and said to Painter.
“Heating equipment?Just these pipes?”Painter’s eyes widened in curiosity, finding it hard to believe that the pipes on the wall could make the room so warm, and then couldn’t help but curiously reach out her small hand to touch it.
“Be careful it’s hot.”Li Shu’s words had only left her mouth when Painter’s little hand had already touched it.
“Scalding ……” Painter instantly cried out in pain, blowing her little hand in aggravation and looking at Li Shu pitifully.
“Stupid girl, it can make the room so warm, can it not be hot?”Li Shu was immediately distressed and amused.
Luckily, although the heating pipes were hot, Painter’s little hand wasn’t burnt, it was just a little red.
“It’s clean, warm, and you don’t have to worry about a fire. Now Miss can comfortably wait for her delivery. Auntie is really heartfelt and considerate of miss.”Qin’er said happily as she circled the room twice.
“Mmmmm, when brother Zhu comes, I’m going to ask brother Zhu for the design drawings of the heating equipment, the north is much colder than ours, and the rich people in the north who can enjoy the warmth of summer in the winter will definitely go crazy for it.”
Li Shu’s big eyes narrowed into a crescent shape as she looked at the pipes in the room, filled with golden light.
This was not a heating device, this was clearly a glittering gold mine.
Now is the coldest time of winter, and this year’s winter is exceptionally colder than previous years, it is a good opportunity to sell heating equipment. To be able to enjoy the warmth of summer when it’s freezing cold, it’s simply a god’s day, even if it’s a hundred taels of silver for a set, or higher, it’ll be snatched up by people like crazy.
Brother Zhu’s army practice is exactly the time when he needs silver, if he doesn’t sell the heating equipment at a high price, he would be too sorry.
Well, just make a heating model house in the capital and invite some stewards and sisters from the rich and noble families to visit, it will definitely attract their masters.
Then transform the restaurants and shops in the capital to be heated, people who can afford to enter and spend money will naturally notice the heating.
Forget it, it’s good to install heating equipment in the marquis house as well, so as not to be chewed on behind people’s backs, and they are super fond of showing off, often holding handkerchief parties, tea parties, garden parties and whatnot, and interacting frequently with the female dependents of many lords and officials, so it’s just right that they can be used to publicise the heating equipment …… with their own knowledge and understanding of them, and installing them withAfter the heating, within a few days, most of the noble families in the capital will know about the heating.
Lords, officials and eunuchs like to enjoy, also like to compare, LinHuaiHou’s house has heating, winter is also as warm as summer, then we WeiGuoDongFu also need to install heating, otherwise the row is not lower than LinHuaiHouFu?
Brother Zhu used to say a word, what is it called, oh, come to think of it, advertisement, yes, it is advertisement.
Once the heating equipment has been circulated in the capital, it will not be a problem to circulate it in the north. The capital naturally leads the nation.
There are plenty of rich people in the north, and no one, man or woman, young or old, can refuse to enjoy summer-like warmth in the freezing winter.
It’s a big market, like a gold mine, inexhaustible as long as you get the key technology in your hands.
I want to open a trading company, specialising in selling and installing heating equipment, well, what to call it, let’s call it “Zhu Rong Trading Company”, specialising in the sale of heating equipment, brother Zhu won’t have to worry about a lack of silver in the future. ……
Li Shu narrowed her eyes happily.
“Miss, Miss, Master is back.”The sound of the maid’s report outside made Li Shu even happier.
Zhu Pingan did not stay overnight in Zhu Mansion at night, accompanied Li Shu for dinner, took a walk, drew the heating design for Li Shu, carefully explained the key techniques, such as installing the water tank, height difference, pressure reduction, venting, etc., after which Zhu Pingan returned to Fengqiao camp of Zhejun army in the middle of the night, presiding over the military affairs.
