Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 28 SKS semi-automatic

Zhang Peng turned his head and discussed with Zhao Chunming in a low voice, and then said to Wang Chengwen: "Okay, I think Brother Wang is an honest person, and the price you gave is reasonable, so I will sell this bear bile to you."

"Okay, little brother, let's weigh this piece of bear bile." As he said this, Wang Chengwen turned around and picked up the copper spoon, put the bear bile on it and weighed it.

"Little brother, look at the coin. It's four cents high." Wang Chengwen held the coin in front of Zhang Peng and said.
"Well, no problem, Brother Wang," Zhang Peng said after looking at the scale carefully.
"Okay, four qian is equivalent to 260 grams, and one gram is 260 yuan, so that's [-] yuan." After Wang Chengwen finished speaking, he put away the bear bile, then lowered his head, nodded and handed [-] yuan to Zhang Peng.

"Now, this is two hundred and sixty, little brother, take it," Wang Chengwen said
Zhang Peng took the money, lowered his head and counted it carefully twice, and then said to Wang Chengwen: "No problem, thank you, brother."

"Hey, why are you thanking me? This is just a heretic. If you have any good things in the future, just bring them to Big Brother." Wang Chengwen said with a smile.
"It's necessary, big brother" Zhang Peng replied

"I have one more thing to ask, brother. Is there anyone selling guns here? What's the approximate price?" Zhao Chunming saw that the bear bile transaction was completed, and then he couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes, they are available in stores. What kind do you want? Single tube or double tube?" Wang Chengwen said to Zhao Chunming.

"Do we have Type 56 here?" Zhao Chunming asked
"Yes, they are all brand new and come with a bayonet. How about it? Let me play with it, little brother?" Wang Chengwen looked at Zhao Chunming and said
"Well, how did you sell it?"

"Type 56 semi-automatic, equipped with bayonet, and 980 rounds of ammunition for [-] yuan. How about it?"

Zhao Chunming was stunned when he heard the price, and then felt a little embarrassed. Before he came today, he asked his father, Zhao Decai, what kind of gun he wanted to buy. Zhao Decai told him to buy a good one. The Type 56 semi-automatic is very good. Chunming had seen the Type 56 before and thought it looked good. The folding bayonet on the front was also very practical, so he decided to buy it. Before he left, Zhao Decai brought him 500 yuan and told Zhao Chunming not to spend it when buying a gun. Zhao Decai thought Zhang Peng's money would be enough to buy it, but he didn't expect the gun to be so expensive.

But Zhao Chunming was a little reluctant to buy other guns, so he was hesitant about what to do.

Zhang Peng was a little shocked when he heard the price. He originally thought that he could buy it with the money from the bear bile, so he brought 300 yuan from home. He thought it would be no problem, but it turned out that the price difference was too big. It turned out that Zhao Chunming was a little hesitant.

"Well, little brother, let's take a look. These Type 56 guns are not cheap, and I can't make them cheaper for you. I also have some double-barreled ones that are good, and they are enough for hunting in the mountains." Wang Chengwen said, He could tell that Zhao Chunming must be having some difficulty, so he reminded him kindly.

"No, I still want the Type 56. I'll buy it later." Zhao Chunming hesitated for a while, as if he had figured something out, then raised his head and said firmly with eyes

Zhao Chunming is very clear about his position. He has been Zhang Peng's follower since childhood. Zhang Peng always stepped forward every time he encountered danger, but he did not pay much. He always felt sorry for Zhang Peng. He was a bit stupid. He is just brave and has a lot of strength. In his opinion, he has a good gun, especially a good gun that can be used in close combat. In times of crisis, he can stand in front of Zhang Peng and help him hunt or fight, so he works hard. When you save money, you also need to buy something.

Zhang Peng looked at Zhao Chunming, who seemed to have suddenly changed in front of him, and felt that Zhao Chunming's choice should be respected, so he also echoed: "Well, brother, let's come over to buy again later."

"Okay, no problem. If you want to buy something, come to my brother." Wang Chengwen also followed Zhang Peng's words and said
Later, Zhang Peng bought dozens of bullets with old sleeves, so that he no longer had to worry about bullets in the recent period. Then he said goodbye to Wang Chengwen, and the two of them walked out of the state-owned store.

After walking out of the state-owned store, as soon as I reached the corner of the street, someone followed me. I speeded around Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming and stopped in front of me.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Peng took off the old sleeve and Zhao Chunming also reached into his waist and held the knife. The air became tense for a moment.Seeing this, the man quickly raised his hands and spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and then pointed to the leeward corner of the street, meaning to go there to chat.

Zhang Peng and Zhang Peng felt strange when they saw this. They looked at the street corner and felt that there was no danger, so they walked over, but they were still cautious and did not put away their guns.

At the corner of the street, the man stopped, then turned around with a smile and cupped his hands and said: "Men, I'm sorry to frighten you. My name is Hu Yaohai. People here call me Dahai. I was in the store just now. I heard that this little brother wants to buy a gun?"

"Well, it's my brother who wants to buy a gun, what?" Zhang Peng said cautiously
"Men, don't be nervous. I was just passing by and heard my little brother say that he wanted to buy a Type 56, but the negotiation failed. Do you think the price is too high?" Hu Yaohai said with a smile to the two of them.
"Um.. It must be for this reason. Why do you have a way, man?" Zhang Peng said with interest.

"Haha, you're really right about that, but I don't have a Type 56 here, only Lao Maozi's SKS semi-automatic rifle, which is what our Type 56 is imitating. What do you think? Are you interested?" Hu Yaohai said proudly.
The SKS semi-automatic rifle was the first weapon of the Soviet Union to be officially produced and equipped with an intermediate caliber. It was used as a weapon to compete with the G43 and Garand M1. The layout of the SKS semi-automatic rifle is the same as that of a traditional carbine. It uses a wooden stock and no pistol grip. It is equipped with a foldable bayonet under the barrel. The SKS imitated in my country is named the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

"Do you also have Lao Maozi's gun?" Zhao Chunming asked with some suspicion.
"Ahem... Actually, it belongs to my friend. I'm short of money recently. I want to sell it," Hu Yaohai said with some embarrassment.
"How to sell it?" Zhang Peng asked.

"This gun is not brand new, it is [-]% new, but it has been well maintained. If you buy it sincerely, I will sell it to you cheaper, for [-]," Hu Yaohai said hesitantly.
"Where is the gun? We have to take a look first," Zhang Peng said to Hu Yaohai.

Seeing that the two of them were interested, Hu Yaohai asked them to wait a moment, and he immediately brought the goods. Zhang Peng and the others agreed to wait for him here, and then Hu Yaohai turned around and left in a hurry.

After Hu Yaohai left, Zhao Chunming said to Zhang Peng: "Second brother, this old man's guns are always of good quality. I guess they should be about the same. I brought 500 yuan from home. Let's try to lower the price later." Bar"

Zhang Peng heard what he said and said hurriedly: "You don't need to pay, I will use the money from selling bear bile later, I will add more, and we will win it."

"No, second brother, stop talking. You have to listen to me this time. I have to pay for the money, otherwise I won't want the gun," Zhao Chunming said firmly.

Zhang Peng heard what Zhao Chunming said and saw the determination in his eyes, so he said nothing more.

In about ten minutes, Hu Yaohai came over with a sack in his arms, came to them, opened the bag and revealed the black and red gun body.

Zhang Peng picked it up, took a brief look at the appearance, pulled the bolt, and then opened the folded sword-shaped bayonet on the front. Generally speaking, it was well maintained. When he pulled the bolt, he could see butter on the inside.He handed the gun to Zhao Chunming and played with it for a while. The two looked at each other and agreed that it was OK. Then they said to Hu Yaohai: "Man, you know at our age that we don't have much money. We really fell in love with this gun. You Give me an honest price, and if you think it’s suitable, I’ll buy it.”

"This is the lowest price. Don't think about how much the Type 56 sells for. You also know the quality of Lao Maozi's guns, right?" Hu Yaohai bit his tongue without letting go.
