Chapter 371 Washing machine? What is that? Neighbors come to wash clothes
Liu Chen had to squeeze out some water from the water again. He put the washed sheets and quilt covers in the tub and washed them twice with clean water. The main reason was that the spare tire was made of pure cotton and was a bit thick, so it was still difficult to wash.
Liu Chen thinks that when tap water can be used, a fully automatic washing machine will be installed. Then it will be much more convenient for the washing machine to wash clothes.
In this era, people usually wash their clothes in the river and beat them with a mallet.
At this time, Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, came in. When he saw Liu Chen's door open, he came in. He looked at Liu Chen and said with a smile: "Hello, I am your neighbor. Let me borrow some salt."
"Hello, Aunt Zhang. Well, let me get it for you." Liu Chen has moved here for so long, and this is the first time a neighbor has come to borrow something.
"What's ringing with you?"
"Oh, I'm doing laundry."
"Shouldn't you use a mallet to wash clothes?" Aunt Zhang looked at the rotating washing machine and felt confused.
"Oh, this is a washing machine that my friend brought from the capital. It's more convenient for me to wash it in the washing machine."
Aunt Zhang walked straight to the washing machine, stared at the washing machine and said, "Oh my god, this little box can actually wash clothes?"
Aunt Zhang looked and looked, turned and touched, and still couldn't figure out how to wash clothes.
Liu Chen couldn't explain it for a while, so he just smiled and said, "Put the clothes inside, plug them in and you can wash them."
Aunt Zhang looked at the washing machine, her eyes widened and she really couldn't believe that the box in front of her could actually wash clothes.
"Oh my god, can such a big sheet and cover be washed?"
Liu Chen told her it was okay.
"Oh, Zhang Nana, do you need to wash your teeth? Bring it over and I'll wash it for you too." Liu Chen said with a smile.
Aunt Zhang was stunned. She couldn't believe that this big box could actually be used to wash clothes. She also had a lot of clothes that needed to be washed.
While cooking a few days ago, his hand was scratched by a kitchen knife, and it was very painful to wash the clothes. So he said shamelessly: "Can I really wash the clothes? Then I brought my dirty clothes."
"
"Don't worry, it's alright. It's clean. You can bring your clothes over and wash them."
Aunt Zhang looked at how many clothes Liu Chen had washed, not to mention that they were quite clean.
Aunt Zhang turned around quickly and ran back home without even taking the salt in Liu Chen's hand.
"Aunt Zhang, you forgot to take the salt." Liu shouted and asked Aunt Zhang to disappear.
After a while, Aunt Zhang came over with a lot of dirty clothes. There were coats, pants, sheets, and quilts.
Liu Chen took out the sheets and quilts that had been rinsed with water and put them in the bucket.
When I turned on the switch, the sheets that were still exposed just now were dried in a short time.
"Aunt Zhang, look at it, are you doing more than you did just now?"
"Hey, this is so amazing, it actually dried the sheets." Aunt Zhang said, touching the dried sheets.
Liu Chen put the dirty clothes brought by Aunt Zhang into the washing bucket, put washing powder in it, and turned on the switch to see the washing machine start spinning.
"What is this?"
"This is washing powder. It smells good and makes your clothes clean."
The clothes in the washing machine were spinning constantly, and Aunt Zhang stood aside and watched.
With an incredulous expression, he said: "Can this actually clean the clothes? Won't these clothes get ruined?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Time passed little by little, and after writing for more than ten minutes, Liu Chen took out his clothes.
Liu Chen put the clothes in the basin, picked up one piece, spread it out in front of Aunt Zhang and said, "See if these clothes are clean."
Aunt Zhang looked at the clothes that had been washed by the washing machine. Not to mention that they were really clean. A lot of dirt on them had been washed away.
Aunt Zhang said with her mouth open and her eyes wide open, not to mention that this thing is very easy to use, and the washed clothes are quite clean. There is no need to hit them with hands and mallets. The washing is so clean. It is really easy.
Aunt Zhang's family eats commercial food, and the family's economic conditions are still good. She smiled and asked Liu Chen, "This washing machine is really easy to use. Isn't it cheap?"
Liu Chen said with a smile: "It's not bad, this is not bad and not very expensive, about two to three hundred yuan."
Aunt Zhang is so light. Oh my God, two to three hundred yuan is not cheap. She only earns more than 24 yuan a month, and the two to three hundred yuan is almost a year's work.
As Liu Chen said, the clothes brought by Aunt Zhang were quickly washed.
Liu Chen put the clothes in the basin, and Aunt Zhang washed them twice with water.
Finally, put it in a bucket and shake it clean.
Aunt Zhang looked at the clean clothes. She spread them out, looked at them again and again, and shouted: "It's amazing, it's so clean. It's so fast and clean. It's much cleaner than washing it with a mallet."
."
The sheets and quilts used in this era are made of old coarse cloth. The cloth is relatively hard and difficult to wash. Every time I wash clothes and wash the sheets and quilts, it is very painful. Don’t hit it too hard with a mallet. It is easy to damage the clothes. If it is too light,
, can’t wash clothes cleanly.
Especially when I wring out the water, I can't wring it out completely and my arms hurt from exhaustion.
This washing machine washes too fast. The clothes were wrung out within a few minutes of being placed in it, which was much faster than what several people could wring out by hand.
Aunt Zhang feels that although this washing machine is not very cheap, at two to three hundred yuan, it is still acceptable.
Liu Chen told Aunt Zhang that the washing machine needs electricity, and it can't be used because there is no electricity for the time being. Liu Chen brought a battery.
Aunt Zhang asked about the battery and other things again, Liu Chen calculated everything, and finally Aunt Zhang had to give up.
These many things add up to a lot of money. Although my whole family eats commercial food, my family still won't agree to spending so much money at once just to save trouble and not wash clothes.
I won’t mention it anymore.
Aunt Zhang looked at Liu Chen, this boy is really amazing, he actually has such good things. There are not many such things in this era.
"Aunt Zhang comes here when she has nothing to do and needs to do laundry. It's all a trivial matter."
Aunt Zhang thanked her many times and thanked her for taking the clothes home to dry.
"Where did Aunt Zhang wash these clothes? Why didn't you bring a mallet?" Aunt Zhao said as she looked at Aunt Zhang holding the basin.
"I also used a mallet. This was washed by the washing machine, not by me." Aunt Zhang said.
"Washing machine? What is that? Is there such a good thing in this world?" Grandma Zhao walked to Aunt Zhang and looked at the clean clothes in the basin and said.
Aunt Zhang then told her everything about how she went to Liu Chen's house to borrow salt, how she finally took the dirty clothes to Liu Chen's washing machine, how good the washing machine was, and how clean the clothes were.
Grandma Zhao was really surprised when she heard this. There are clothes in this world that can be washed without using hands or a mallet. This is really amazing.
