Chapter 152 Phoenix Bicycle(1/2)
"Oh! Come in." The middle-aged woman said quickly.
After Fangyuan entered, the middle-aged woman closed the door and shouted into the room: "The boss is here, someone is looking for you."
She didn't say that someone gave the rabbit as a gift. After all, there were neighbors on both sides, so she was probably afraid that people would hear.
"Who is it?" The middle-aged man walked out of the room.
When he saw Fangyuan, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and when he saw the rabbit in Fangyuan's hand, the middle-aged man's face showed ecstasy.
"Hahaha! Is that you? Come and sit down quickly." The middle-aged man quickly pulled up a chair and said to Yuan Yuan.
Since Fangyuan left last time, the middle-aged man has missed him very much. In fact, he missed Fangyuan’s food stamps.
It can be said that he looks forward to Fangyuan coming over every day, but Fangyuan never appears.
Let’s put it this way! Life has been difficult for their family in the past few months. He has also gone out to look for food and even went to the pigeon market many times.
It's a pity that every time I leave happily, I come back disappointed. It's hard to get food now! You can't find it at Pigeon Market.
"Thank you!" Fangyuan put the two cages on the ground and sat down.
Seeing Fangyuan sitting down, the middle-aged man quickly pulled a chair over and sat next to him and asked, "Do you still have food stamps in your hand?"
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the middle-aged man didn't ask him about rabbits first, but instead asked about food stamps.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Rabbits are meat, and no one can eat meat every day. Besides, there are only a few rabbits, and how long they can be eaten, food is more important.
Initially, Fangyuan wanted to say there weren’t any, but after thinking about it, she said, “Yes, but not much.”
"It doesn't matter, as much or as little as you like."
Fangyuan took out twenty kilograms of grain stamps from his pocket, handed them to the middle-aged man and said, "That's all."
The middle-aged man quickly took it and said, "Great, we can finally buy some food."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the rabbit on the ground and asked: "By the way, what do you think of this rabbit..."
"It's like this. I caught a few rabbits in the mountains and I wanted to ask if you want them?"
"Yes! Yes, why not?" The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva after speaking.
"The price is not cheap." Fangyuan said at this time.
"How much?"
"Twenty yuan each." Fang Yuan stretched out two fingers and said.
"Are you sure?" the middle-aged man looked at Fang Yuan and asked.
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "OK."
"That's okay, I want both."
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Fangyuan thought: Damn! It's getting low.
But he did not regret it, because in his heart, twenty yuan a piece was already very high.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Fangyuan. After all, he has not been in the city all the time and does not know what is going on in the city now.
Since the supply of fresh meat ceased, the price of meat has risen to an absurd level. Of course, this is about fresh meat.
On the black market, the price of fresh pork is almost as high as that of canned beef. Even if it is not pork, as long as it is fresh meat, the price is outrageous.
Fangyuan feels that twenty yuan a piece is no longer cheap, but in the eyes of middle-aged people, this price is very low.
Even the price made him have the urge to sell it, but he quickly gave up the idea, this is a rare material!
He doesn't even have enough to eat, but he sells it out. He can't do such a thing.
To put it bluntly, he is greedy, and he is not short of money, otherwise you would see him cheating.
"Uncle, look at this..." Fang Yuan put his thumb and index finger together and pinched it.
"Old rules."
"Okay."
In the end, Fangyuan received five small yellow croakers from the middle-aged man, one rabbit and one small yellow croaker. Originally, the 13-pound grain stamps only amounted to one small yellow croaker, but Fangyuan only received five in the end.
After the transaction, Fang Yuan was ready to leave, but before leaving, Fang Yuan said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, if you still want rabbits, I will give you a few more rabbits in a few days."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you still have any more?"
"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.
"Don't wait for a few days. You can send me some more tomorrow."
"Ah! You four..."
Before Fangyuan could finish speaking, the middle-aged man said, "Don't worry about this. As long as you have it, just send it over."
"Okay, if that's the case, don't worry about it tomorrow. I'll deliver it to you in the afternoon."
"Okay."
After coming out of the middle-aged man's house, Fangyuan was thinking about one problem, and that was transportation. He was too young and couldn't carry much at a time.
If you can only carry four at a time like today, you won't be able to sell a few in a day. You must know that there are dozens of little rabbits born every day in the space, and there will be more and more in the future.
In other words, the speed at which he sells is not as fast as that of rabbits. This means selling every day, not to mention that he cannot sell every day.
Therefore, Fangyuan’s top priority is to get a tool that can be used for transportation.
But this is not easy. To put it bluntly, he is still too young.
It was impossible to get a car. Not to mention that it was impossible to get it. Even if he could get it, he wouldn't be able to drive it!
Apart from cars, it would be horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts, but this was impossible. Where could he go to get cows and horses?
So thinking about it gave me a headache, and Fangyuan didn't come up with any good ideas.
It's not like he hasn't thought about finding a ride, that is, a human-powered tricycle, but it's a bit dangerous.
As the saying goes, you must be on guard against others. If you encounter a bad person, it will be a big problem.
At this moment, a young woman passed in front of him on a bicycle.
Fangyuan's eyes lit up when he saw this bicycle, because it was a women's bicycle.
There is no straight bar at the front, but a curved bar. This kind of bicycle can definitely be ridden.
The most important thing is that when you use a bicycle to bring rabbits, you can bring ten to eight rabbits at a time without any problem.
When the time comes, tie two sticks to the back seat, and you can place several cages on one side.
Thinking of this, Fangyuan ran directly to the bus stop, and then got on a bus to the department store.
Arriving at Wangfujing Department Store, Fangyuan went straight to the second floor, where bicycles are sold.
Fangyuan walked around here and finally chose a Phoenix brand women's bicycle.
Of course, the price is not cheap. Although there are two types of permanent cars and flying pigeons, and the prices are much cheaper, Fangyuan still chose a Phoenix.
"I want this car." Fangyuan handed the salesperson 11 industrial coupons and 220 yuan.
When Fangyuan handed over the money and tickets, the salesperson was stunned and forgot to accept them.
"Sister, I want this bike." Fangyuan said it again this time.
"Oh! Okay, I'll give you an invoice right now." The salesperson responded.
When the salesperson was writing out the tickets, Fangyuan took a casual look at Forever and Fei Ge. Forever, it was 180, and Fei Ge was 16, which was much cheaper than Phoenix.
In this era, Phoenix and Forever are equivalent to Mercedes-Benz and BMW in later generations, which is why the salesperson was stunned.
Forget it if it’s an adult, but if Fangyuan is a teenage kid buying it, it’s a bit shocking.
You know, the salesperson has always wanted to buy a car for commuting to and from get off work, but unfortunately she has never been able to get industrial coupons.
The salesperson quickly opened the ticket, handed it to Fangyuan, and said, "Go and pay!"
Fangyuan then remembered that when buying things here, the money must be handed over to the cashier, so he quickly ran over with the money and tickets and paid the money.
Then he took the payment voucher to the place where the bicycle was sold and handed the voucher to the salesperson, who then pushed the bicycle out to him.
"Thank you sister."
"You're welcome, I'll ask someone to send it to you downstairs."
"Hmm!"
There is no elevator in the department store. If you buy things from upstairs, it’s okay to buy small items, but you have to move down the big items.
If you are an adult, you can move by yourself, but Fangyuan is just a child, so of course you need to find someone to help him move.
The sales assistants in department stores are not only women, but also some men. Sometimes Fangyuan wonders if the department store allows these men to work as sales assistants just for work.
Soon the female salesperson called a male salesperson over.
The male salesman didn't say anything after he came over. He pushed the bicycle towards the stairs, and Fangyuan quickly followed.
The male salesman helped Fangyuan push the bicycle outside the department store before handing it over to Fangyuan.
In his previous life, Fangyuan was a good rider on a bicycle. He could handle things like loose handlebars and riding backwards.
