Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 687 It's not that I'm being unreasonable
After everyone agreed, Wu Dong and Wang Shuai started to contact Bingcheng using Wu Dong's home phone.

In fact, at that time, having a telephone at home was itself a symbol of identity and status, because except for people in high positions, this thing could not be installed just by having money.

After Wu Dong finished his call, Wang An learned that a walk-behind tractor with a trailer, plus a complete set of plows mounted on the walk-behind tractor, cost 2960 yuan.

Including the cost of transporting it from Ice City, it was exactly 3000 yuan.

To be honest, this price is not low compared to the wages at that time. Even if it is just the freight, it is more than a month's salary for a formal employee.

For transportation, we will use train cars. It is estimated that the hand tractor will be in place the day after tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow.

But you have to know that this is done for Wu Dong's sake. Otherwise, in this spring ploughing season, where would we get any extra walk-behind tractors to sell to you?

Even if there is, you have to find a way to drive back from Ice City yourself.

You should know that the distance from DJ County to Ice City is about 500 kilometers. Even with the fastest speed of a hand tractor, which is 15 kilometers per hour, it will take more than 30 hours to arrive.

Of course, as far as Wang An knew, ever since the land was distributed to each household, the wealthy people in Xing'an Township began to buy walk-behind tractors one after another.

Some buy individually, but more often they buy together with two or three others.

However, it was not until 83 that the farm machinery company in DJ County had excess tractors for sale.

So before 83, if you wanted to buy a walk-behind tractor, you could only go to Bingcheng, and then several people would take turns driving it back.

Let me put it bluntly, driving a walk-behind tractor for a long time, especially on a gravel road, is a very unpleasant experience. It's not something most people can endure.

After Wu Dong's walk-behind tractor was finished, Wang Shuai started making phone calls again.

A new track tractor costs more than 4 yuan, but it is out of stock. It cannot be said that it is out of stock. To be precise, it is not sold to individuals. The old one costs 17500 yuan.

Fortunately, this time, the other party said that they would send the coal directly by train, so I didn’t have to pay the freight.

After the two of them finished their phone call, Zhang Shuya didn't call back. She probably wanted to wait until she got home in the evening to tell Zhang Siyuan about this.

They chatted for a while and agreed on the time and place to go into the mountains tomorrow. Then Wang An rode away on horseback.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An looked at his watch, thought for a while, and then tied his horse at the door of the cooperative. He paid ten cents to check on the horse and walked into the cooperative.

The reason for this is that Wang An wanted to buy a bicycle for Wang Li, but a bicycle cannot be carried on the back of a horse, so Wang An had to pedal it back.

Wang An looked at the watch to estimate what time he would get home if he rode his bike.

It's 3:6 in the afternoon now. If I pedal faster, I can get home before :, but I have to hurry to buy a bicycle.

So, as soon as Wang An entered the supply and marketing cooperative, he walked towards the hardware area.

When buying things these days, generally speaking, there is no room for choice, that is, you have to take whatever the salesperson gives you.

Of course, although the salesperson has a bad attitude and a look of being unable to shit, he will not target anyone. Instead, you can take the items in order and take whichever one you catch.

But, there are always unexpected things happening.

When Wang An paid the money and the ticket and wanted to push the bicycle, he saw the salesman clearly pushing a bicycle from the side of the bicycle pile. The bicycle looked very new, shiny, but the rags used to protect the main beam and diagonal beam of the bicycle, that is, the entire tripod, including the handlebars, were gone.

Of course, Wang An didn't care about these, because although there were rags on other bicycles, these rags had to be torn off after the bicycle was bought.

But when Wang An lowered his head, he discovered that the rear tire of the bicycle was flat!

This is normal, because for a bicycle, if the valve cable is not installed properly, it is understandable that the air will leak slowly.

Subconsciously, Wang An looked at other new bicycles again, but found that the tires of other bicycles were all inflated normally.

I have to say, if there were no other bicycles for comparison, or if other bicycles also had this kind of flat tire, Wang An would have accepted this bicycle.

But if there are other new bicycles for comparison, no matter who buys a bicycle, they will definitely not want this one.

This should be a consensus!
So, after discovering this problem, Wang An frowned, but said to the salesperson in a relatively good manner:
"Comrade, please give me a new one, my rear tire is flat, and I'm in a hurry to leave, and I have nowhere to pump air."

Wang An's words were well-reasoned and neither hasty nor slow, and most importantly, there was nothing wrong with them.

But what Wang An didn't expect was that this salesperson, who looked like he couldn't poop, actually started to educate Wang An with a cold face.

He just stared at me with big eyes and said angrily:

"I can't change it. Just turn right when you get out of the door and there's a repair shop. You can figure it out yourself. Besides, you get whatever you buy. Why should you choose if others don't?"

Wang An got angry when he heard this and shouted loudly:
"It's other people's business if they don't pick on me, but you broke my car completely. Can't you see that the tire is flat? I bought a new car, and you want me to fix it?"

With Wang An's temper, he would have taken action long ago, but at this time Wang An was in a hurry to go home and was too lazy to create trouble over such a small matter.

There is an old saying:
"If you feel wronged, you should shout it out loud. If you don't shout it out, who the hell will know what's going on?"

Therefore, Wang An’s shouting was to let more people know that he was not being unreasonable, but the other party was too fucking and too domineering.

After Wang An finished shouting, a large number of people came to watch the fun.

Whether they were customers shopping or salespeople from other areas, almost all of them came over.

It has to be said that in China, there is never a shortage of people who love to watch the fun and no matter how big the event!
As the crowd gathered, the people standing on either side of Wang An and the salesperson gradually began to split up and started to curse each other.

"Fuck you, you are such a bad person and you still sell it out. You are such a bad person! Be careful that you give birth to a child without an asshole."

"You are so hypocritical, just cheer yourself up!"

"Fuck you, you spent over 100 yuan on a broken bicycle, why the hell would you buy it?"

"It may not be broken, let's try to inflate it!"

"It's easy to talk, but you're not the one paying for it, so stop talking nonsense."

I have to admit, each and every one of them looked as if they were the people involved, and were really excited.
