Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 110 Buying a Bicycle

"Brother Hai, here are 200 rounds of bullets first. The price should be lower from you. Is there anything else?" Zhang Peng said to Hu Yaohai.

"There's no problem with the bullets, and it's not too much. I'll get it together. What else do you want? What do you want?"

Hu Yaohai looked at Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming. He was also curious about what he wanted. To be honest, it was available in state-owned stores, so he was really not afraid of Zhang Peng and the others.

"Do we have a clip for catching water dogs? I want to take a few pictures." Zhang Peng thought for a while and said
"Water dog? This is a good thing. Can you get it?"

Hu Yaohai's eyes lit up when he heard about water dog. If you want to say which fur is the most popular and relatively valuable now, it is definitely mink and water dog. The quality of these two furs produced in the Northeast has been widely praised since ancient times. of.

Mink is a fine fur fur with fine skin, soft and strong, rich plush and glossy color.The fur clothing made from it is elegant and luxurious. It is an ideal fur product and is known as the "King of Furs". Therefore, it has become a symbol of people's wealth.Abroad, it is called "soft gold".

The water dog skin has a large width, a strong plate, high hair needles, rich and thin undervelvet, the whole body is brown, the luster is soft, the belly plush is gray-white, the tail plush is thick, the guard hairs are moderate in length, tight and bright, and the color Elegant, wear-resistant and water-draining, with fine and even velvet and even small bends, it is also called "chrysanthemum heart" and is not easily soaked by water. It is also a treasure among furs.

Therefore, the prices of these two kinds of furs have always been high. Knowing that Zhang Peng might get Shuigouzi's furs, Hu Yaohai was also a little overjoyed.

"Isn't this a bit of a discovery? But if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Things will not be easy to do without someone."

Zhang Peng continued to fool Hu Yaohai. In fact, Zhang Peng really didn't fool him. He really knew the locations of several water dogs. This was his main livelihood in his previous life. Who doesn't have some secrets of his own? .

After hearing this, Hu Yaohai immediately said that there was no problem, it was just a clip. These were all easy to talk about, but he wanted to negotiate with them to sell the fur of the water dog to him, and guaranteed that the price would be higher than selling it to a state-owned store.

There was nothing left to buy, so they were just waiting for Hu Yaohai to get the things back. However, he said that the bullets would have to be collected together so that they could be given to them in the afternoon. Zhang Peng and Zhang Peng were not in a hurry, so they agreed.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Peng and the two went into the state-owned store to find Wang Wencheng, intending to buy the bicycle first. This was a big item, and it had to be bought from a regular place, and a receipt was required before the bicycle could be stamped with a steel stamp.

There are still many people in front of Wang Wencheng's counter today, most of whom are here to sell furs. Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming originally wanted to get rid of the furs, but the quantity was too small and not worth it. They will wait until they save up more to get rid of the furs. Come and sell.

"Brother Wang, do you still remember us?" Zhang Peng stepped forward and asked
"Huh? You two are little brothers who used to sell mallets. How can you not remember it? It's been a long time since I came here. What are you selling here today?" Wang Xiaoli raised his head and looked at Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming before saying with a smile.
"Brother Wang, we are not selling it today. We want to buy it. Please help us take a look."

"Haha, okay, everyone is welcome. Tell me what you want to buy and I will help you get it." Wang Xiaoli didn't care. After all, he came from the village. What else could they buy? "I want to buy two bicycles, Brother Wang." Help us do it," Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"What are they? Bicycles? Two more."

Wang Xiaoli was a little confused. Now that life down there is so good, can he buy a bicycle so arrogantly?Then do I also want to go to the countryside to experience life?

"Well, two cars. Brother Wang can help me."

"Hey, no problem. What kind of treasure did you get? This is so generous." Wang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment. After all, he encountered too many things in this position.

"No way, isn't it? The elders just got the industrial tickets, and they just wanted to buy something big, even if we get married in the future. I saved some money frugally, and I'm going to buy it first." Zhang Peng Said with a smile

Then they followed Wang Xiaoli to the place where they bought bicycles. There is only one kind of permanent 230-bar bicycle here. The leather is durable and there is nothing to choose from. After walking over and inspecting it carefully, they paid and were invoiced for [-] yuan each. , the price is also the reason why people dare not come forward.

After the formalities were completed, the two of them pushed the brand new bike out. Zhao Chunming kept stroking the bike. This was definitely popular in that era, just like cars today. Since Zhao Chunming couldn't ride it yet, , and although Zhang Peng can ride, he still has to accompany him to continue walking forward, preparing to license the two bicycles. Yes, bicycles also need to be registered.

Bicycles still need to be plated and stamped!There is also a small green book called a bicycle license, which is equivalent to the current driving license of a car. It was not until the end of 1996 that the country announced the cancellation of all urban bicycle registration and licensing systems nationwide.

It was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming came back after completing the procedures. Hu Yaohai had been waiting for a while. He was also very surprised when he saw the two people pushing the brand-new bicycles over. The changes came over and over again. It was a bit too big, but after all, they had seen the world, and they said nice things when they came forward. Then Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming took a pack of bullets and ten pairs of clips, paid the money and left without any hesitation. I told him that I wanted to sell it to him, so I left here and walked towards the market.

When they reached the entrance of the market, they saw Wang Xiufen and Li Cuihua and their two sisters waiting for them. Looking at the big packages on the ground, Zhang Peng and the two knew that this market trip was quite successful. Wang Xiufen and Wang Xiufen chatted. Zhuotian was eating fried cakes, while the two sisters were eating candied haws.When they found Zhang Peng and two people pushing the cart, Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan rushed over, looking at the two bicycles with curiosity. At the same time, they also aroused the side glances of the people nearby. Bicycles are so popular now.

Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming put the packages on the bicycles and pushed the bicycles back. When they learned that they had not eaten yet, Wang Xiufen quickly handed over the still warm fried cakes and asked them to spread them first. .

Just like this, there were shopping items in the back seat of the car, and Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan were on the crossbar. The group of six people chatted and slowly walked back home.

They didn't return home until dark. Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai had already come back. Both of them had cooked dinner waiting for them. Basically, there are all the men in the Northeast who can't cook, and their skills are very good, but they usually don't do it in front of others. I couldn't do it, it was all about saving face. Today I simply made four meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, and fished out two rice dishes, and sat in the pot waiting for them to come back to eat.

I was overjoyed when I saw the bicycles they pushed back. I carefully looked at the two bicycles and made some comments. The overall meaning was that they were awesome. No matter how you looked at them, they were good. After all, they were big items in the house. Even if the village buys two bicycles at a time, then this is the first share of Scorpion's cake.
