Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 68, Crested Bicycle
After bidding farewell to Hao Pingchuan and Qi Lala, Jiang Yan found a restaurant and ate a bowl of rotten meat noodles. Jiang Yan, who was full, didn't go home right away, and wandered around inside the fence.

Before I knew it, I came to the door of a tavern.Standing at the door and looking inside, there are already two or three people sitting inside.

The small taverns in the Forty-Nine City are also called small shops, with small doors, about ten to twenty square meters, looking like the houses of ordinary people at that time, old and friendly.Except for tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea, and a few simple side dishes, nothing else is served here.There are several liquor jars on the counter, which sell liquor in bulk.

At that time, people regardless of their social status could enter such taverns for consumption. Those with more money had wine and food, and those with less money drank cheap wine. When there were many people, they shared a table, or simply leaned against the door or wall. Yan'er squatted, drinking and drinking, chatting and chatting, laughing and cursing.

But obviously this time is not the peak time for people in this tavern, and I really want to go up to see it, but I don't drink!It's impossible to co-author, walk in and ask for a glass of water!
After thinking about it, forget it.

Jiang Yan weighed three catties of pea yellow and their special snacks at the famous "Baiji New Year Cake".Hold them in hand.

These days, when Jiang Yan goes shopping, he always buys a lot of snacks from Old Sijiu City and puts them in his space.

After several years of public-private partnerships and the abolition of small stalls, food was purchased and sold under a unified system, and some special snacks basically disappeared from the world.No matter what happens to me, I can count it as a rainy day!
Now there is a room in Jiang Yan's space dedicated to this kind of unique Sijiucheng snacks.

Walking out of the store, I found a quiet place, put all the things I just bought in my own space, and walked towards the trust store humming a song.

Trust stores, also known as "consignment stores", refer to those stores that accept customers' entrustment and sell second-hand goods on behalf of customers.

When Jiang Yan was shopping just now, it suddenly occurred to Jiang Yan that he would start work tomorrow, and it was too far to walk, so he had to find a means of transportation.The Trust Store is certainly a good place to be.

Jiang Yanlai's trust store is called "Datong Entrusted Firm". It was established in 1942. It can be said to be a well-known trust store in Sijiu City. It has a complete range of items and reasonable prices.

The facade of this "Datong Entrusted Firm" is not small. It is a small two-story building facing the street. When you walk in, the area of ​​the store is even larger, as small as two hundred square meters.

There are many items in the entrusted store, but most of them are daily necessities of ordinary people's homes, such as old clothes, leather jackets, bedding, watches, pocket watches, cameras, phonographs, clocks and so on.

Soon Jiang Yan found three bicycles in one place of the shop.

When I walked in, I found that although these three bicycles were second-hand goods, they were in good condition, and they looked about [-]% new.

Jiang Yan looked at the three bicycles for a while, and finally chose a "crested" bicycle.

Crested bicycles generally refer to bicycles produced by the British Raleigh company.Because the pattern on the upper part of the bicycle logo is similar to the head of a phoenix, it is called a crested bicycle among the people.

Crested bicycles are also famous all over the country for their excellent workmanship and exquisite materials, and are most sought after by Chinese people.

"Little brother has his eyes on this car." Seeing Jiang Yan staring at the crested car carefully, the owner of this shop came to Jiang Yan with a wink and asked.

Hearing the shopkeeper's inquiry, Jiang Yan nodded subconsciously.

Seeing Jiang Yan nodding, the owner's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "My surname is Wu, the owner of this shop, my little brother has good eyesight, this bicycle was put in the shop by someone else for sale."

"Don't look at it as a second-hand car. The owner bought it back and didn't ride it many times. Moreover, this car is an original John Bull."

"Look, this seat is made of pure handmade calfskin. Look, there are also reflector lights, bicycle bells, and electric lights."

Hearing the boss's eloquent introduction, Jiang Yan was a little lost for a while.

This scene, this sales promotion, why does it feel a bit like a salesman of later generations, that small mouth can speak a sentence.

"Boss Wu, if you're really selling it, I'm really buying it. Give me a real price. If it's okay, I'll push it away today. If it's not, I'll change it."

Jiang Yan interrupted Boss Wu who was eloquently introducing, and spoke directly.

"Little brother, if you want to buy it, how about 175 million?" (The author is based on the price quoted by the domestic permanent bicycle in 1956.)
"175 million?" Hearing the price, Jiang Yan considered it in his heart, but there was a point in his consideration!Have you ever bought a bicycle before, the ghost knows the current market situation.

"How about 150 million." Jiang Yan tentatively quoted a price.

"Okay, I think the little brother bought it sincerely, it's only 150 million."

I'm going, and the price is high.Hearing what the shopkeeper said, this was Jiang Yan's first reaction.

At this time, shopkeeper Wu was very happy. When he collected the bicycle from the dilapidated house, he only spent less than 100 million yuan, and he made 50 yuan by changing hands.

This is really three years without opening, and three years after opening!Thinking of this, shopkeeper Wu looked at Jiang Yan with soft eyes.

"Adding a set of tools." Jiang Yan pointed to a set of maintenance tools in the window.

If I was wrong, the set of maintenance tools in his window should be tools for car maintenance.

Such maintenance tools naturally exist in Jiang Yan's space, and there are many more!It's just that after the previous conversation with Director Rayong, Jiang Yan didn't dare to take out the things in the space other than eating and drinking, for fear that he couldn't explain clearly.

"Yes." Boss Wu agreed to Jiang Yan pretending to be in pain.

"This is a deposit. I'll get the money later." Jiang Yan took out 10 RMB from his pocket and handed it directly to the boss.

The boss took Jiang Yan's money and counted it, issued a voucher to Jiang Yan, and said to Jiang Yan: "Little brother, don't worry, you can pay within three days. Take this voucher and don't throw it away. We only Credentials do not recognize people."

Jiang Yan took the certificate handed over by the shopkeeper, put it in his pocket and left "Datong Entrusted Firm".

When going out, Jiang Yan noticed that the crested car he valued had a "sold" sign on it.

Part of Jiang Yan's money is stored in the space, and the other is stored in a natural bank.

The money in the space is enough for Jiang Yan to pay for the car, but most people would take so much money with them when they go out if they don't buy something specifically.That's not to say that you have a problem.

Looking for a relatively remote and hidden place, Jiang Yan took out the remaining money for the car from the space, and came to the store again.

Naturally, Jiang Yan didn't talk nonsense this time, and directly handed the money and voucher to shopkeeper Wu who was busy there.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yan left the "Datong Commissioned Firm" pushing the bicycle he just bought.

Maybe it's been a long time since I rode a bicycle!Jiang Yan went from being unfamiliar at the beginning to getting familiar with it gradually, and even tried riding a bicycle with one hand.

In this era, bicycles are a rare commodity, and Jiang Yan didn't know how many people envied him along the way. At that moment, Jiang Yan felt that he was the most beautiful boy at this moment.
