Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 213 Going to buy a motorcycle with Xiulan
On the morning of the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month on the th day of the first lunar month, both Lin Heng and Xiulan got up early, mainly because they had to do business in the city today.

The first thing he did after getting dressed was to go to the toilet. After coming out of the toilet, Lin Heng began to observe the world.

In the early morning, there was white frost on the ground, roofs, and trees, but you could clearly see that the sky was blue.

"It seems like today is a good day." Lin Heng muttered to himself as he looked into space. He didn't go back to the house and started exercising on the spot.

Today I really wanted to shoot arrows. Lin Heng took out his compound bow and played with it for thirty rounds before starting his regular exercise.

He was halfway through the exercise, when Xiulan and Xiaoxia came out together. Xiulan also started to exercise, while Xiaoxia watched Lin Heng's appearance and learned to twist randomly.

After training, when Lin Heng finished washing up, Xiulan got him a set of clothes, which included a black coat and gray trousers, brown boots on the feet, and a green sweater on the upper body.

After Lin Heng finished dressing, Xiulan carefully arranged his clothes.

"We're just entering the city, you can wear whatever you want." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan shook her head: "That's not okay. If you dress ugly when you go out, you will be laughed at. And it's not like you don't have good clothes."

Xiulan nodded and said, "Look at Xiaoxia, I'm going to cook."

Because we have been hunting pheasants and golden pheasants, the chickens at home have been doing well, but there may be some trouble during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Hengze picked up three eggs in the chicken coop. The chickens were reluctant to lay eggs in winter. But fortunately, I had eaten enough before and there was enough food for the family.

Lin Heng made a basin of corn paste and carried it, and took a bag of corn for Xiaoxia, and the two of them went to the back mountain together.

"Well, I have a lot of varieties here. It depends on what you need, and the prices are different." The boss said with a smile.

It was only half past eight when we arrived in Huangtan Town, and the sun had just come out.

"Tell me the price." Lin Heng took Xiulan to look at them and asked. The colors of these cars are quite good, mainly red and orange, with some blue and white.

There are fewer other colors.

After feeding the chickens in the back mountain, Lin Heng and Xiaoxia returned to the house together. In the morning, Xiulan simply made pickled cabbage noodles, and Lin Heng called Caiyun over to eat together.

I originally wanted to save some money at the credit union in town yesterday, but considering that I still had 5,500 yuan left in the deposit, I gave up for the time being.

Generally, the officially imported ones can only be bought in Anseong, and there is also the smuggled one, which is cheaper, but you need channels to buy it.

So when they left this morning, they took a leather bag with three thousand yuan in it, which was used to buy a motorcycle.

"It depends on which one you want. All models are here."

The 12 chickens his family originally bought were all black-bone chickens, eight males and four females. They were all black and their feathers looked very smooth.

After eating, Lin Heng and Xiulan coaxed Xiaoxia and promised to come back to bring her delicious food. Then they told their parents and they rode Hongzao to Huangtan Town together.

However, Lin Heng does not discriminate against domestically produced motorcycles. The technology of motorcycles in this era is very mature and there are almost no problems.

When they arrived in town, Lin Heng handed the horse over to Wang Zhou for care, and then rented a motorcycle to take him and Xiulan to the city.

Now that there is electricity, he plans to hatch some chickens in the spring depending on the situation. Although he does not have a professional egg incubator, he can make a simple one by himself using a tungsten lamp.

All the motorcycles here are domestically produced and none are imported.

They even wanted to pounce on Xiaoxia when Lin Heng was not around. Lin Heng had memorized these two and killed them first during the Chinese New Year.

After finishing it, she clapped her hands and said, "You can buy another Mao suit like that when you go down today. It will be more formal when you go out to discuss business."

"Are you here to buy a motorcycle?"

老板指着车一一介绍了一下：“这个嘉陵50最便宜，只要900块，明星50要1800，这边这个幸福250要3000。”

Two of the big roosters, in particular, seemed to have become extremely bellicose after eating centipedes or scorpions. Not only did the hens that dominated Lin Heng's family, but the colorful roosters bought from his eldest brother's house next door were beaten so hard that they didn't dare to fight back, the hens also became their forbidden pets.

"Cuckoo!!"

Lin Heng pulled Xiaoxia into the house. There were many motorcycles parked in the hall, including scooter-type ones, light ones similar to shared bicycles, and heavy ones similar to motorcycles.

At that time, he stopped brushing his teeth, wiped his face, and led Lin Heng and the others into the house.

In this era, there were many foreign smuggling ships near the coast, and all kinds of cheap industrial products could be purchased. If they were transported to the inland, they could make a lot of money.

Naturally, they are also sold in Taibai City. Lin Heng took Xiulan to the only motorcycle store in the city center.

The main reason is that we have just started the reform and opening up, and the major banks are not interconnected. It is extremely inconvenient to deposit and withdraw money. It is better to hold cash by yourself.

At this time of year, the area behind the house is still green except for the purple bamboo planted by Lin Heng. There is no other green.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, what kind of motorcycles do you have here?"

The boss asked, pointing to the motorcycle in the hall.

Xiaoxia was feeding the chickens with corn. As Lin Heng opened the chicken coop, more than a dozen chickens rushed in front of her to grab food, making her laugh.

Lin Heng let the motorcycle take him directly to the central area of ​​Taibai City. After arriving, Lin Heng took Xiulan directly to the place where motorcycles were sold.

The boss looked at how Lin Heng and Xiulan were dressed, and they seemed to be quite wealthy.

They didn't save any money. Last night, Lin Heng and Xiulan discussed it carefully at the Sage Moment and decided that they wouldn't save any money for the time being and would just leave it at home.

After the restrictions on private car purchases were lifted, motorcycles have become more and more popular, and one can be seen on the road from time to time.

The corn paste was divided between the red dates and the female forest musk deer, and now it can be seen that its belly is slowly getting bigger.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded. He really needed a set of more formal clothes.

The store was deserted in the early morning. The boss was still brushing his teeth and washing his face. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Heng and the others coming over.

Xiulan was a little dazzled looking at the motorcycle. She had never thought about owning a motorcycle at home. Looking at the beautiful spray paint and shiny color, she felt intoxicated.

Many people still find it incredible that such a tough guy can run faster than a horse.

"Which one do you think is good?" Lin Heng turned to look at Xiulan and asked.

Xiulan blinked and smiled: "I don't understand this. Just buy whichever one you think is better."

She would never give random suggestions on things she didn't understand.

Lin Heng liked his wife's answer very much, and asked again: "Then which color do you think is good-looking?"

"Red, it looks very festive." Xiulan pointed to the color red and said.

Lin Heng nodded, turned around and looked at the owner of the car dealership and said, "Will you sell this Happy 250 and two thousand two thousand?"

The boss suddenly opened his mouth: "What? Two thousand two thousand? Are you kidding? Do you know what kind of car this is? This price is simply impossible."

Lin Heng smiled slightly: "Of course I know, this is the Xingfu 250A type copied by the Shanghai Bicycle Factory No. 250 after the famous Jiawa 2. It has a horizontal bar of 239 strokes, a displacement of cc, and a horsepower of ten horses. Its ex-factory price is less than two yuan. Thousand dollars.”

"what!"

The owner of the car dealership was stunned when he heard this: "Why do you know better than me? Are you also a car seller?"

He was really shocked. People in this era were generally not very educated, and they had no knowledge of these machines. They usually did what he was told, or listened to what others said was better.

This was the first time he saw someone who knew Lin Heng so well. And Xiulan was also impressed by Lin Heng's confidence. Although she couldn't understand what he said, she knew from the boss's face that he was right.

The boss took a breath, shook his head and said, "You have no idea how much it costs to transport it. The minimum is two thousand five thousand. No matter how low it is, you really can't sell it."

Lin Heng looked at him and said: "If it's two thousand three thousand, I'll buy it. If it doesn't work, forget it. I won't add more."

"Two thousand and five thousand, it really can't go any lower." The boss shook his head and was unwilling to lower the price no matter what.

Lin Heng spread his hands and said, "Okay, I won't buy it."

After saying that, she pulled Xiulan away.

After leaving the gate, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said, "Are you really not going to buy it?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, let's go to Ancheng to buy some in a few days."

This boss is so evil, even if he has money, he won't let him be cheated like this.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and asked curiously: "How do you know so much?"

Lin Heng showed a wry smile: "Because I have wanted to buy it for a long time and have researched it frequently, but unfortunately I have never been able to afford it."

When Xiulan was about to ask where to go next, a voice suddenly came from the side: "You want to buy a motorcycle? I have one here, do you want to come and take a look?"

Lin Heng turned around and saw a hook-nosed man in black clothes who looked to be in his twenties or thirties. This man looked a bit sinister.

"Second-hand or smuggled?"

Lin Heng glanced at him and didn't expect someone to be soliciting customers here.

"There are also second-hand ones, brought over by Anseong Motorcycle Repair Shop." The man said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go take a look, just wait a moment."

Lin Heng said something, turned around and took Xiulan to the nearest bank with the package.

"You wait here, don't come out no matter what you do, I'll be back in a moment."

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said. This kind of second-hand factory must be in a remote place, and I don't dare to take Xiulan and Qian there with me.

Xiulan nodded and agreed: "Okay, be careful."

After placing Xiulan in place, Lin Heng followed the man named Zhao to see the car.

Not long after walking, he came to a second-hand car store, which made Lin Heng a little curious. He didn't know that there was a second-hand car store here.

The man surnamed Zhao looked at Lin Heng and said: "They are all here. You can discuss whichever one you like. They are all covered by cards."

Lin Heng went into the room and took a look. There were still a few people looking at cars here.

All kinds of refurbished motorcycles are displayed here, but the refurbishing workmanship is a bit poor, and the flaws can be seen at a glance.

There were not many cars here, there were about fifty or sixty in the sea. The more Lin Heng looked at them, the less interested he became. He had ridden a motorcycle for a long time in his previous life and also repaired it himself.

The motorcycle repairmen here, Lin Heng, seemed average to a layman, which raised great doubts about their safety.

Lin Heng is not a motorcycle novice and knows a lot about these things, so he wants to see if there are any core components that have not been repaired. It is a good deal to buy them back at such a low price.

What he was looking for were heavy motorcycles, similar to the Xingfu 250.

There were twelve Xingfu 250s in this place. After taking a look at them, Lin Heng was not satisfied. He already had the heart to retreat and was ready to take a quick look around and then leave.

"Well, why do you still have this thing here?"

Lin Heng was stunned when he saw the three cars placed at the end. These were not two-wheeled motorcycles, but three-wheeled motorcycles.

The military green one is very powerful and domineering.

This thing is very rare, usually for military or police use, and second-hand ones are rare.

The man surnamed Zhao smiled and said: "They are all regular. Some are retired from the army, and some are used for second-hand maintenance. I don't know exactly, but they all have license plates."

"how much is this?"

Lin Heng was quite interested in this. There were many people making this thing, and it had enough horsepower and a large fuel tank.

Lin Heng walked over and took a closer look and saw the nameplate of the Yangtze River 750. They were all made in China.

"Five thousand yuan each." The man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.

"forget it."

Lin Heng immediately stopped looking, turned around and walked out.

"Haha, the price is negotiable, don't be so anxious."

The man surnamed Zhao stopped Lin Heng and said with a smile.

"Forget it, this thing is broken and it's hard to repair. It's also expensive. I can't afford it."

Lin Heng shook his head. This thing has probably been used for who knows how long, so he is worried about buying it.

The man surnamed Zhao looked at Lin Heng and said, "Say a price and I'll see if I can accept it."

His three cars have been collecting dust here for more than a year. They really can't sell them. When he saw Lin Heng's interest, he really wanted to sell them.

Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Two thousand."

The man surnamed Zhao suddenly widened his eyes: "Brother, this is a three-wheeled motorcycle. Even if it is second-hand, it is not so cheap."

He paused and then said: "In this case, I'll sell it to you for four thousand yuan."

Lin Heng shook his head: "It's not that much money, just two thousand. You must have traveled countless kilometers. You can't get it without selling."

Touching the dust on the car, Lin Heng added: "And it's hard to sell your car. People who come here to buy cars are all trying to get a bargain. There are still people buying cars for more than a thousand or a few hundred yuan. No one will care if it's so expensive." of."

The man surnamed Zhao thought for a while and said: "Three thousand yuan. I no longer make money at this price. It can't be lower."

"I don't have that much money, unless you can issue an IOU." Lin Heng shook his head.

"That's impossible." The man named Zhao shook his head repeatedly. What a joke. He didn't even know where Lin Heng lived, so how could he dare to issue an IOU.

Lin Heng was not in a hurry. He lay down and looked around at the cars. One of the three cars was painted in military green and two were painted in black.

At first glance, the black paint was changed in color. It was originally supposed to be military green.

The exterior looks very handsome, and there are no signs of major repairs, but in some places it can be seen that this car must have been used for a long time.

"Three thousand yuan, it really can't be lower. If you don't buy it, forget it." The man surnamed Zhao looked at Lin Heng and said.

Lin Heng didn't say anything. He started the three cars one after another, turned the accelerator and listened to the roar. Then he raised his head and said, "I don't want to talk about the price yet. Can I drive it out and give it a try?"
