Chapter 159 Floor Standing Air Conditioner
Tian Tian decided to install air conditioning in Fulai Restaurant first, so that guests could enjoy their meals in a cool environment.
At 9 PM, Fu Lai Restaurant closed.
Tian Tian arrived just before closing time and stood in front of Qian Fulai, who was about to lock the door, saying, "You go back first, I'll lock the door today."
"Huh?" Qian Fulai looked completely bewildered.
Tian Tian took the key from his hand. "Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. Tomorrow... you'll be very surprised."
Qian Fulai instinctively said, "Then I'll stay with you."
It's so late after all.
Tian Tian doesn't need it; she came today to install solar panels on the roof of the Fulai Restaurant.
Where can we let him stay?
"No need, you should go back right away!" Tian Tian pushed Qian Fulai and shut him out.
Qian Fulai scratched his head. "Tian Er, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Tian Tian replied from inside the house, "You'll find out in a couple of days."
After locking the shop door from the inside and seeing Qian Fulai leave through the crack, Tian Tian went to the backyard.
Two monkeys that had arrived earlier were waiting on the roof.
Tian Tian stretched out her two hands, and the two monkeys pulled her up onto the roof.
"Thank you so much." Tian Tian rubbed their heads.
Just like installing solar panels at Baishi Teahouse, Tian Tian only bought solar panels from her spatial storage once she got to the roof.
The roof of Fulai Restaurant is larger than that of Baishi Tea House, estimated to be over 250 acres, and can accommodate more than 100 large photovoltaic panels measuring two meters by one meter.
There are more than 100 photovoltaic panels, which are divided into four groups of 25 each, and connected to four mobile power sources.
Next to each of the four power banks is a floor-standing air conditioner.
The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed directly in the corresponding corner outside.
The second floor of Fulai Restaurant has fifteen private rooms, each equipped with a portable power bank powered by two photovoltaic panels.
Instead of floor-standing air conditioners, window-type air conditioners were installed in the private rooms.
Window air conditioners do not have an outdoor unit, making them easy to install.
After everything was installed, Tian Tian looked up and...
It's daybreak.
She opened the shop and saw Qian Fulai standing at the door.
"You didn't go back?" Tian Tian asked in surprise.
If he had gone back, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that he was standing at the door.
But she clearly saw him leave.
Qian Fulai did not go back, but he did not stay outside the shop either. Instead, he kept an eye on the situation inside the shop from the alley across the street.
So he saw Tian Tian on the roof... installing those black panels.
Then they installed those strange and unusual things in the corner.
He was very curious...
Where do those strange and unusual things come from?
Qian Fulai's lips moved, but he ultimately did not ask.
“I’m going back,” he said. “I just arrived.”
Tian Tian raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "Really?"
Such a coincidence?
Qian Fulai casually pushed past her, "Of course, I came earlier... to see what you've done to my shop..."
"You didn't cause me any trouble, did you?"
His gaze swept around. This was his shop. He had played in the shop since he was a child, so he could tell at a glance that the shop was different.
There were white cabinets in the four corners of the first floor, which looked very similar to the cabinets in the kitchen of the Baishi Tea House.
Otherwise... nothing has changed.
So, Tian Er spent the whole night working on just these few cabinets?
What are these cabinets for?
"What are these cabinets for?" Qian Fulai asked directly.
Tian Tian raised an eyebrow slightly; he hadn't even asked where these things came from...
Instead, they directly asked what the use was.
Since that's the case, there's no need for her to explain further.
"The purpose of these cabinets is..."
Tian Tian beckoned to him and whispered in his ear...
"Really?!" Qian Fulai's eyes widened.
She said...
She said these cabinets would keep her shop warm in winter and cool in summer.
Qian Fulai looked at Tian Tian and nodded, then walked to the white cabinet in disbelief.
His hand stroked back and forth on the cabinet.
It feels...cool...
I fiddled with it, uh, it won't open.
There are also protrusions... I pressed them, but nothing happened.
How does this thing keep his shop warm in winter and cool in summer?
Tian Tian shook her head helplessly; pressing it now wouldn't do any good.
The power bank was out of power, and she hadn't plugged it in.
"It's not useful now; it will be usable in a couple of days."
"why?"
why...
Because it needs to be charged.
The power bank she installed has a large capacity and needs to be charged for two days.
According to the operating hours of Fulai Restaurant, the air conditioning is turned on for three hours during lunchtime, and for four to five hours from dinnertime to late-night snack time, for a total of eight hours a day.
Whether it's the cabinet-style air conditioner on the first floor or the window-style air conditioner on the second floor, the power supply is sufficient.
*
Two days later, at lunchtime, Tian Tian arrived uninvited.
She called Xiao Niu, the most reliable waiter at Fu Lai Restaurant.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of turning on the air conditioning in this shop."
The calf nodded absentmindedly, but wondered to itself... What air conditioner?
Qian Fulai followed behind...
Then we saw Tian Tian take out a rope from behind the white cabinet and insert the strange thing at one end of the rope into a square object next to the white cabinet.
The white cabinet beeped...
Tian Tian then taught Xiao Niu to press a few more times on the white cabinet.
He was also instructed not to let anyone get close, not to touch them with his hands, and especially not to touch them with wet hands, because these things were electrified.
It's like lightning...
The calf shuddered at the words; lightning... could kill someone.
He hesitated to touch the second air conditioner, his hands trembling.
Tian Tian said helplessly, "As long as you don't touch it randomly and your hands aren't wet, it'll be fine."
The little calf wiped his hands on the white cloth repeatedly to make sure there was no water left before pulling out something from behind the white cabinet, inserting it into the square object next to it, and then pressing it a few times on the white cabinet.
Tian Tian nodded, "Yes, that's it."
Xiao Niu then turned on the other two air conditioners.
"When we close at night, just press the round button on that switch, and the light on the cabinet will turn off. You don't need to unplug it." Tian Tian led Xiao Niu upstairs.
The window air conditioners in the upstairs private rooms are also very simple; just plug them in and turn them on.
"The air conditioning here is only turned on when there are guests, and turned off as soon as they leave."
The calf nodded, "Okay."
The two came out of a private room...
"Wow!" the calf exclaimed immediately, "It's so cool!"
It was so hot just a moment ago... how come it's suddenly so cool?
The guests on the first floor looked up in surprise, "Why is it so cool?"
"The weather has changed?"
Someone ran outside... "It's still very hot outside."
"Oh dear, only the Fulai Restaurant is cool."
"what's up?"
Qian Fulai glanced upstairs, and now he believed Tian Tian's words.
It's so hot outside, but so cool inside the shop...
Isn't that perfect for summer coolness?
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a mechanism that our Fulai Restaurant commissioned a reclusive master to make, which keeps the restaurant warm in winter and cool in summer."
"Everyone can dine in peace at Fulai Restaurant and enjoy the cool air."
