Chapter 22 I Want to Buy a Bicycle

"Red grouper, this fish is good."

"It's just that this head looks a lot smaller than the last one."

Huang Xiulian had a big smile on her face and nodded frequently while speaking.

Chen Hui saw that she was very satisfied with the fish today and said this just to bargain, so he explained:
"It's a different fish. The best weight for sea grouper is one to three pounds. If it's bigger, the meat will become tight and not as delicious."

"Besides, it is still alive. It is killed and cooked right away, so the taste and nutrition are the best."

Huang Xiulian thought about it and thought that what Chen Hui said was right. She smiled coquettishly and said, "How much do you want for this?"

"One hundred, you know the market, and you'll know if I open too much."

Chen Hui thought about the price carefully before deciding on it. Firstly, he wanted to leave the rich woman some room for bargaining.

Secondly, the appearance of this sea grouper is very good, and the skin is not damaged at all. In addition, there is a big difference between the price of live fish and dead fish.

So theoretically, the selling price of this fish should not be lower than that of the last grouper.

"One hundred!"

Huang Xiu Lian looked at the fish, thought about it, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"One hundred is one hundred."

"Although it's a lot more expensive than on the market, it's normal that the fish caught in the sea and the fish caught with the fishing net are not the same price."

"I always feel that the fish caught by fishing boats always have a metallic smell."

"Hmm, it's not tasty!"

Huang Xiu Lian chattered on and on as she counted out ten ten-dollar bills and handed them to Chen Hui.

Then he said, "If you have fish, send it over next time. By the way, do you have lobsters?"

Iron smell?
This is OK.

Forget it, you are a rich woman, whatever you say is right.

After all, in a few decades, people will spend hundreds of thousands to buy a fish.

Chen Hui couldn't understand this kind of thinking, but he liked it very much.

"You want lobster, right? Didn't you say last time that you didn't want shrimp or crab?" Chen Hui asked after taking the money.

"I don't know what's going on lately, but I just suddenly want to eat."

"If you have it next time, please send it over." Huang Xiu Lian said with a smile.

"Okay, I remember."

"By the way, do you know how to get to the supply and marketing cooperative? They should have bicycles in stock now, right?"

The last time Chen Hui went to buy cloth with An Wenjing, he paid special attention to the department store.

There is nothing for sale inside.

"Don't you have it?" Huang Xiu Lian pointed behind Chen Hui.

"This belongs to a friend. I'm getting married soon and was thinking of buying one for myself," Chen Hui explained.

"You're getting married? Congratulations."

"But I don't know about this. We all drive a car when we go out." Huang Xiu Lian smiled somewhat proudly.

"Oh, sorry, I'll be leaving now."

"Why don't you go in and sit for a while? Maybe my babysitter will know where I can buy a bicycle."

"Oh, no, thank you."

Chen Hui waved goodbye and rode away on his bicycle.

It's numb. If I don't leave now, I'm going to hate the rich.

After asking around in the county town, Chen Hui found the newly moved supply and marketing cooperative.

After moving to a new location, the new supply and marketing cooperative looked much more upscale, and even had different areas to sell different things.

The place selling farm tools has the most people.

Chen Hui, who had never been to the farmland, also went over to join in the fun and listen to a few old men evaluate this year's new farm tools.

We are back to the fishing gear area.

Bought two flashlights and spare batteries.

I also bought two buckets, long pliers, small shovels, gloves and rain boots for fishing. I remembered the net bags Wu Shuisheng gave me when we were at sea. They were much more convenient to bring with us than bamboo baskets, so I bought a few more net bags of different sizes.

"Comrade, do you have oxygen equipment and seawater tanks?"

Chen Hui thought of the equipment in Wu Shun's home. It looked simple and didn't take up too much space.

Get one at home, and if you catch valuable fish you can raise them to guarantee the selling price.

"There is a seawater tank, but no oxygen tank."

"This thing consumes a lot of electricity, so generally no one will buy it. You can order it if you want."

"Do you want the seawater tank today?" The salesperson asked while he was busy sorting things.

Chen Hui sighed.

In Chenjia Village, electricity is only available in the village community, and the villagers’ homes do not yet have electricity.

Everything else is fine after my rebirth, except that due to hardware limitations, many of the inertia in life are difficult to reverse.

Just like when he saw that Wu Shun’s house could get oxygen yesterday, Chen Hui didn’t even realize that electricity is still a scarce resource.

I took the fish away in the morning and didn't even think about paying for the electricity or anything.

"Forget it, I don't want the fish box, just give me another pound of White Rabbit."

"By the way, how do I buy a bicycle?"

Chen Hui had already walked around and bought almost everything he needed, but he still hadn't seen any bicycles anywhere.

"You want to buy a bicycle?"

The salesperson looked at Chen Hui with some surprise.

Buying a bicycle is a big deal, and in most cases the whole family comes together.

"Yes, do we need to order this too?" Chen Hui asked.

"It's not a problem with ordering. It's that the recent distribution is out of stock. If you order, you may have to wait for a long time."

"what?"

Chen Hui knew that he had to place an order for bicycles, but he didn't expect that the demand exceeded the supply and he would have to wait for delivery.

"Yes, now that everyone's life has improved, it's quite common for a family to buy a bicycle."

"We have an order waiting in front of us. If the next batch of goods is not enough, we will have to wait."

Chen Hui took a weighed White Rabbit and handed it to the salesperson, and asked about the specific price and delivery time.

"Comrade, what are you doing? This is my job, and I should do my job well."

The salesperson did not accept Chen Hui's candy.

However, Chen Hui's thoughtful gesture won him a lot of favor, and he patiently introduced to him the differences and prices of different bicycles.

The lightweight model of Phoenix brand costs 160 yuan, while the heavy model costs 130 yuan.

If you want something better, there are ones that cost more than 200 yuan. Fewer people will buy that kind of stuff, so the goods will arrive faster.

There are also Forever brands, which are slightly cheaper than Phoenix ones.

You can place an order now, but I’m not sure when you can get the goods. The earliest you can wait is one or two months.

"If you're in a hurry, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town and ask."

"The town will also provide the bicycles, but many people don't know about this and will still buy them in the county."

"You can try your luck. Maybe you can buy spot goods. Otherwise, ask about the arrival time. It will probably be faster than the county."

Seeing that Chen Hui really wanted it, the salesperson gave him another idea.

"Like this? There are some in town?"

Chen Hui realized that he was the "many people" the salesperson mentioned and smiled embarrassedly.

"Brother, I know a good place with good quality and cheap prices."

"If you're not looking for a new car, you can go to the second-hand consignment shop over at the East Street Second Bridge and have a look."

"I've seen people selling bicycles there a few times. They're quite new and the prices are much cheaper than buying new ones."

An old man who had just been talking about farm tools came over and tapped Chen Hui on the shoulder.

　Hey guys, if you have money, please give me one! Please!
