Chapter 50 Moving to a new home and doing a new job
After roughly finishing the plan, she began to put it into practice on paper. After writing down each item, she stood up and began to measure the dimensions.
The length and width of the door and each window are strictly measured. This is to facilitate her use of the description function "Build Doors and Windows" in Goldfinger. The walls and floors inside the room are also measured, which can be used as a reference when laying down heat and sound insulation materials in the future. .
Sit back at the table, record the numbers clearly one by one, and slowly improve the plan.
As for the candidates for the construction work, she has already known them, and has already informed them in advance that she will leave some time for herself in July.
She can stick up the materials inside the house by herself, but she is really not good at installing doors and windows, and she doesn’t dare to do anything about it, so she needs the help of professionals.
When I lived in a bungalow, there were always problems with the old houses in the community. Renovation teams would come to work from time to time, and Wei Jiao's house was no exception. Replacing doors and windows was a trivial matter, and there were also repairs and roofing of new houses.
It was precisely because of this that she met a decoration team. Two women led a few small workers. Not only were they good at craftsmanship, they also worked quietly and neatly, and no one smoked.
Wei Jiao has hired them two or three times and still trusts them. Moreover, the team is all women. Now that she has moved to a remote place to live alone, she feels relieved to call them.
She didn't plan to waste time and went directly to Goldfinger to start using the description saving function.
Fortunately, there is no word limit in the search box, so she can fully describe her needs and add the measured dimensions as a prerequisite, and she will get the perfectly matched doors and windows that fully satisfy her wishes.
She arranged two doors. The outside is a new type of steel anti-theft door, which is anti-collision and anti-hacking. Its low-key appearance is completely inversely proportional to its sturdiness. It has dense grille windows that can open the door from the inside to the outside world. Interconnected; the high-definition surveillance camera is also hidden here, inconspicuously, can be powered independently, supports wired connection devices for real-time monitoring, and is equipped with face recognition and dynamic alarm functions; the hinges have been specially blessed, and the locks have also adopted a special design. The door or lock cannot be disassembled without prying.
The door on the inside is a new type of armored door. The plain wood-coated interior is made of steel plates, and its sturdiness cannot be underestimated. The bedroom door also uses the same armored door, which itself has the function of heat and sound insulation.
The windows are uniformly made of high-standard bulletproof glass, containing five layers of glass interlayers. The thickness is large and it naturally has a certain degree of heat and sound insulation. There is an anti-peeping layer on the outside. The balcony door is made of the same material; the window frame structure and locks are also made of bulletproof glass. The pry design, coupled with the external anti-theft fence, will be foolproof.
The materials for thermal insulation and sound insulation have also been prepared. They seem to be professional materials used in outdoor equipment. They are not easy to fall off when applied inside the house, and the effect is excellent.
After checking several times to make sure that all the materials were ready, she immediately started contacting the decoration team.
One of the two older women, whose surname was Ma, was in charge of the liaison work. After contacting her, Wei Jiao learned that the other party happened to have a small job in the past two days, so she decided to start construction work at her place in two days.
The decoration issue could be put to an end for the time being. Wei Jiao wandered around her new home for a while to familiarize herself with the environment, while mentally planning how to decorate it in the future.
The bathroom space is very small, the sink, toilet and shower are crowded, and there is nothing worth decorating. And in the future when the weather is bad in the apocalypse, she probably will not use this place anymore, but will solve it in the space.
The same thing happened in the kitchen. She just put out the pots and pans she was used to because she didn't know that it would be inconvenient to cook after the end of the world. She planned to cook as many dishes as possible and save them in the space before the countdown reached zero. After all, it was not possible to cook. You can’t eat takeout every day.
Then I put the refrigerator I brought from my home away. The refrigerator went into the space after the power was cut off at the original home. Now I put it out and connected it to the power immediately. It almost has no effect. The fruits, drinks and ice cubes inside are still cold. of.
She checked the temperature and replaced another batch. Then she took out a few refrigerators from the space, placed them in convenient places, connected them to electricity, and filled them up one after another, so that the efficiency would be much higher.
The balcony is empty except for the washing machine, which is good. The free space is just right for drying clothes. She has copied a lot of clothes in her space, forgetting those for outer wear. Underwear, panties and underwear must at least be washed before wearing them.
However, this washing machine was a bit small, so Wei Jiao directly replaced it with a larger one and put it there. After changing it, she simply washed it, threw the underwear into the washing machine from the space, and started washing when the quantity was about the same.
After leaving the washing machine to work, Wei Jiao walked into the living room again. This is the largest room, complete with dining table, sofa, coffee table and TV.
She was a little unsure because she was not sure whether she would enjoy life here after the end of the world. For her, the end of the world is too unknown, which prevents her from making accurate responses in advance.
Sighing, Wei Jiao pulled the large suitcase placed next to the sofa. After all, she was moving here today, and it always looked like she was moving. It was not good to be empty-handed.
There are symbolically stuffed clothes in the suitcase. Now put the open suitcase into the space and let the clothes inside return to their respective places. Then, she slumped down on the sofa, raised her phone, and started shopping online.
Well, for real online shopping, you have to pick up the express delivery yourself.
Speaking of which, it was because she wanted to give something to Ms. Zhang. After learning that the things in the space could not be given to others, she went shopping online for the first time in a long time. As a result, she aroused her desire for revengeful online shopping in the context of the end of the world. Desire to purchase.
After all, I won’t be able to buy it anymore. The feeling of buying from Golden Finger is certainly different. It’s convenient and fast, but not very satisfying.
The pleasure of online shopping starts from the moment you select the product.
Maybe you will hesitate when paying, but in the process of waiting for transportation, your emotions are like the cork stuck in the mouth of the wine bottle, being pushed upwards as the expected wine bubbles; when you receive the notification text message from the express station, you will After a simmering pause, I finally took the package home and used a knife to smoothly cut open the tape seal——
Bang! Expectation is released, happiness explodes, satisfaction overflows, completing an emotional carnival.
For Wei Jiao, this kind of enjoyment is irreplaceable. Even if she has a magic golden finger, even if she has everything in the space, it can't be worth the magical freshness of opening a package with known contents, so she begins to be happy. Online shopping.
Of course, there are also some principles, such as not buying food that is not easy to store because it is hot now; not buying fragile items for fear of violent express delivery; having to take the express delivery yourself, and not buying large items... She rushed into her list of stores that she followed. Scan the goods and feel so happy when paying for the first time.
When she was having a great time shopping, the clothes were washed, and she had to go to work in front of the washing machine again. There was a lot of washing, so she took a small bench and sat in front of the washing machine. She found a hanger with clips for drying underwear and socks from the space. She planned to use the clothes drying pole to lift it up when the clips were full.
After clamping two, she found that it was a bit difficult to implement. She had to hold the hanger in one hand, and it was difficult to operate it independently with the other hand.
She could only take out another floor-standing clothes drying rack and put it aside, hang the clothes hanger on it, and clip it on while taking it out from the washing machine. In this way, the ropes were hung one after another, and another clothes drying rack was placed. Covered both shelves.
