Chapter 69 Buying a Bicycle
Lunch is eaten at Shao'an's house, with stewed cabbage vermicelli and cornmeal steamed buns, which is already the highest etiquette for entertaining guests in the countryside.

Goose feathers and heavy snow were flying in the air, and the two stayed for a while in the afternoon. Lan Hua took two pairs of Shaoping's rotten shoes, and the two returned to Guanzi Village.

Lan Hua didn't take a break when she got home, she leaned on the coal stove and began to mend the rotten shoes. If it didn't take a long time to make a pair of cloth shoes, she would have given Jiang Dahai a pair of cloth shoes directly.

Wang Manyin didn't bother Lanhua either, and went out to use the toilet on the pretext of having a stomachache.

When he came outside, he stepped into the sign-in space while others were not paying attention.

Now there are still a lot of things in the sign-in space. There are more than [-] catties of white noodles alone, and more than [-] catties of corn noodles. In addition, there are quite a lot of pork, mutton, and frozen fish.

There are even some cooked food inside, such as boiled eggs, white flour steamed buns, pancakes and the like.

In addition, there was a blue light ball floating in the air. Wang Manyin walked over to touch the light ball with his hands, and silently said "absorb" in his heart.

The next moment, a slight electric current came from the palm of his hand and quickly spread to his whole body. Wang Manyin's brain was instantly filled with a lot of fighting knowledge.

The body's muscle memory is also changing, as if it has been tempered for dozens or hundreds of years.

Maybe it was a moment or maybe it was a long time, Wang Manyin opened his eyes, and the captivating gaze burst out instantly, and a beast-like aura emanated from him.

But this terrifying aura was only fleeting, Wang Manyin put away the aura of his whole body, and turned into a gentle and handsome young man again.

He squeezed his fist, feeling stronger muscles, and felt invincible for a moment.

He let out a long breath, and couldn't help making a few gestures, swinging punches, heavy punches, kicking his legs, elbows, all kinds of moves at his fingertips, and his shots carried a strong storm, which was extremely fierce.

After gesticulating for a while, he didn't stop until he broke out in a thin sweat, stepped out of the sign-in space, and walked into the cave with a smile on his face.

The heavy snow only lasted for one day, and at night, the clouds in the sky seemed to have exhausted their last strength and dispersed unwillingly.

And as the clouds dispersed, the pure sky was also exposed to the eyes of the world, dotted with bright patches, which is a night scene that is difficult to see in later generations.

The next morning, a fiery red sun rose slowly from the east, and the brilliant golden light pierced through the majestic fog, causing birds and birds to sing in the mountains and forests.

Wang Manyin put on her Chinese tunic suit, Lan Hua put on a floral cotton jacket, the two locked the wooden door, and took the letter of introduction to the dirt road to Shige Festival, which was opened yesterday afternoon.

When it came to Shige Festival, Wang Manyin found an excuse and went to the secret base to put the food collected from the previous two pigeon markets into the sign-in space, and then took the bus with Lanhua to Yuanxi County.

When they came to the county seat, the two went straight to the department store, found Yang Bing, and presented him with a frozen fish to maintain their weak relationship.

"Hahaha, brother Man Yin, you are still so polite, you have said that you don't need to give something every time." Although Yang Bing said so, he accepted it without any shame, and gave Wang Manyin a high opinion in his heart.

Fish is very rare in the Loess Plateau, especially in the impoverished Yuanxi. He doesn't plan to eat this fish, he plans to give it away as a favor.

After receiving the fish, Yang Bing patted his chest and said: "Brother, if you have anything to do, just tell me, I will help if I can."

Wang Manyin smiled. "Brother Yang, I really came to trouble you today. Didn't I get a bicycle ticket recently and want to buy a bicycle? Do you have any good recommendations?"

Yang Bing's eyes flashed brightly, he took a good look at Wang Manyin, and said in admiration: "You are a capable brother, and now you have already got the bicycle."

"Haha, not as good as Brother Yang, not as good as Brother Yang." Wang Manyin slapped a haha.

"Let's go, I'll show you the bicycle." Yang Bing got up and led Wang Manyin into the warehouse.

While walking, Yang Bing introduced: "There are many brands of bicycles, but Shanghai's Phoenix brand and Yongjiu brand are the most famous. Of course, Feige is also very good. These are all produced by big factories."

"However, the goods from these big manufacturers are hard to get. If ordinary people have nothing to do with them, they can't buy these good brands. On the surface, we only sell Wuyang brand from Guangdong and Daqiao brand from Hunan."

Wang Manyin frowned, put a smile on his face again, and handed him a Daqianmen cigarette, "Brother Yang, I brought a bottle of good wine over just now, why don't we have a drink at the state-run restaurant later."

Yang Bing nodded eagerly, "Okay, let's choose a bicycle for you first, don't worry, I will definitely give you the best."

"Although most of the warehouses are filled with Wuyang and Daqiao brands, there are still a few permanent and four brands. Among them, there are two heavy ones and four light ones."

"The prices of the two brands are the same. The heavier one is [-], and the lighter one is [-]. Which one do you want?"

"A heavier permanent card." Wang Manyin said directly without thinking about it.

If you want to ride in the city, it must be lighter, better looking and more practical, but Wang Manyin will most likely ride on dirt roads in the future, or the heavier one is more durable.

And there is a reason why you are more expensive. The heavier ones are not only stronger, but also have more cargo that can be stowed, and are more suitable for Wang Manyin's physique.

"Okay, then come over and choose one. After I'm done, I'll have someone stamp it on you and go to the public office for filing. It will be done in about three hours."

Today's bicycles are not like later generations. You can just buy them with money, and you need to have a "steel stamp" similar to a license plate. Every bicycle can be traced to its owner.

Afterwards, Wang Manyin went to pick up a newest silver bicycle, not to mention, Wang Manyin was still very excited at this moment.

He has gradually entered this era, this bicycle is equivalent to the Mercedes-Benz and BMW of the later generations, and it is a matter of face to ride it out.

And this permanent brand bicycle is really good-looking, with a slender body, exquisite age, and a wide frame. Compared with those other brand-name bicycles around, it is simply a nobleman.

Lanhua on the side also grabbed his arm excitedly, and could already imagine the envious eyes of others when he rode out later.

After picking out the bicycle, Wang Manyin handed over the bicycle ticket and one hundred and fifty-eight yuan to Yang Bing, and then Yang Bing ordered someone to put a steel seal on it.

And at this moment, Lan Hua suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, Man Yin, do you know how to ride a bicycle?"

Wang Manyin brushed her hair and said with a smile, "Of course, I used to ride a lot when I was wandering outside."
