"Alright, comrade, may I ask where I can buy a tricycle?"
Faced with Fu Wan's questioning, the police officer was completely convinced.
How did this end up being related to cars?
But Fu Wan thought that since she was already here, she should buy something to take back with her.
Moreover, she remembered that what her older brother wanted most was a tricycle like the one Fu San's family owned.
"The tricycle supply and marketing cooperative and Friendship Store both have them. These things are more expensive than bicycles. If your budget allows, you can go and have a look."
"Okay, thank you, comrade!"
After thanking her, Fu Wan turned and walked towards Fu Ming, who was waiting not far away.
The policewoman clicked her tongue in amazement as she watched Fu Wan's retreating figure. What a clever woman! She actually thought of asking for directions at the entrance of the police station.
He's a guy who's not short of money either. When I mentioned the car cost 200,000, he just raised an eyebrow.
Even an ordinary person would be astonished by such an outrageous price.
"Ah Wan, did you find the way?"
When Fu Ming saw her return, he quickly went up to her and asked.
Fu Wan nodded. "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Seeing Fu Wan's mysterious appearance, Fu Ming felt as if a hand was scratching at his heart.
"Ah Wan, tell me quickly, what exactly did you come to the city for today?"
Fu Wan would definitely not reveal to him that she had come to buy a car without checking the situation properly.
He was told to hurry up and leave, "You'll understand when you get to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Filled with doubt, Fu Ming could only quicken his pace, wishing he could step into the Friendship Store and see what his younger sister was up to.
Although the city is much more prosperous than the county town, fortunately, the Friendship Store is not too far from the station.
Although it was Fu Wan's first time visiting the Friendship Store in the city, she didn't take any detours and soon spotted the store's large sign.
Back then, Friendship Store and Supply and Marketing Cooperative were rivals, separated by only one shop, a pure 1980s version of commercial competition.
"Now that you're right at the door, can you at least tell me what you've come for?"
Fu Ming was sweating profusely as he walked, and when he saw the Friendship Store sign, he turned to ask Fu Wan.
"Going to the Friendship Store is obviously for shopping, just follow me."
After saying that, she stepped into the Friendship Store. Seeing this, Fu Ming had no choice but to follow her.
The Friendship Store in the city is somewhat similar in layout to the one in the county, but the city has a significantly wider variety of goods.
Fu Wan even saw a tall box, which was a refrigerator from the 1980s.
Okay, one more item on the shopping list!
A refrigerator was something Fu Wan had wanted to buy for a long time. Before, the food that the family couldn't finish eating was stored in the well, which not only didn't keep the food very fresh, but also affected their ability to draw water.
"Comrade, is there anything I can help you introduce?"
Seeing Fu Wan examining the refrigerator, the sales clerk quickly came over.
Is this a refrigerator?
"Yes, comrade, you really know your stuff. This refrigerator is Snowflake, the first refrigerator brand in China. It's not only energy-saving but also has a full range of features. Plus, we offer home delivery and warranty, so you can use it with peace of mind."
This series of introductions left Fu Ming stunned. Fu Wan casually opened the refrigerator door. Friendship Store was quite generous; the refrigerator was actually powered on.
A blast of cold air hit him, and even the slow-witted Fu Ming understood what the electrical box was for.
This is just a small home cold storage unit!
The only problem is that the ship's cold storage required them to move a lot of ice blocks, and this large box could generate its own cold air.
"Comrade, this thing must be very expensive, right?"
Fu Ming couldn't help but ask.
The salesperson wasn't impatient at all, but answered seriously: "Sir, the price of this snowflake refrigerator in our store is 1388 yuan. If you need it, you can reach 2000 yuan to participate in our store's discount activity."
A discount of 200 yuan off 2000 yuan is quite a good deal.
Genius, absolutely genius. Fu Wan even suspected that the marketing staff of this Friendship Store might have traveled from the future or been reborn.
Isn't this the same tactic as Taobao and JD.com? Most people would have spent 1388, so surely they'd have at least 2000!
Even with this 200 discount, I still have to buy all the items worth 2,000!
As for the profits of Friendship Store, they are probably more than two hundred and two hundred.
Do you have tricycles here?
Fu Wan closed the refrigerator door again, then turned to ask the salesperson.
This completely baffled the sales clerk, who paused for a few seconds before reacting.
"A tricycle? Yes, we do!"
After saying that, she pointed to the carport not far away. Fu Wan looked in the direction she was looking, but unexpectedly, it was Fu Wan who was the one who couldn't figure it out next.
That tricycle actually looked almost exactly like a bicycle!
In other words, these tricycles are not like Fu San's diesel-powered ones, but are pedaled by people themselves.
This made Fu Wan laugh.
She waved to Fu Ming, then pointed it out to him with great interest, "Brother, how about that tricycle? I'll buy you one!"
When Fu Ming heard the word "tricycle," his face immediately lit up with excitement, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find a single one.
"Are you kidding me? There's no tricycle around here."
The saleswoman looked at the brother and sister, somewhat puzzled. "A tricycle is just a three-wheeled vehicle, isn't it? Why do these two look so strange?"
But she still had excellent professional qualities, saying, "Comrade, that's our tricycle over there!"
She even emphasized the word "tricycle," and only then did Fu Ming notice the tricycle next to the bicycle.
“This isn’t a tricycle, it’s more like,” Fu Ming paused for two seconds, then a word popped into his head, “a three-wheeled bicycle!”
This description even convinced the salesperson: "Yes, a bicycle has two wheels, and this thing is just an extra wheel and some space to sit in the back compared to a bicycle."
It's just a three-wheeled bicycle!
"Comrade, isn't this the tricycle you wanted?" The salesperson realized what was going on, but Fu Ming immediately shook his head. "The tricycle we were talking about runs on diesel; it'll sputter like a tractor when you twist the throttle..."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's it."
"You want a diesel tricycle? Then you'll have to buy it from the car factory."
The sales clerk finally realized what was happening and quickly pointed them in the right direction.
Now that Fu Wan was more experienced, she quickly asked, "Comrade, may I ask if a letter of introduction is needed to buy a diesel tricycle?"
The sales clerk shook her head, and Fu Wan, who had thought it wasn't necessary, breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the salesperson's voice rang out the next moment, "I don't know either. You can go over and ask. The car factory isn't far, just two streets away."
Hearing this, Fu Wan's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped again. Oh dear, why didn't the young man finish his sentence at once? She thought she could pick up the car and go home smoothly!
