Chapter 250 Acquaintance
"Do you want to accept the Yan Zi four-piece suit? If you do, I'll give you two sets."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yan and said.
The four-piece sets are still selling well nowadays, especially those with bright red "囍" characters embroidered on them.
"Sister-in-law, I'm too busy to handle this. Let's wait until Daya learns it first."
Zhao Yan shook her head.
It’s not that I complain about having too much work, but I’m really too busy to handle it.
After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Yan walked in.
"Brother Yi."
Chen Yan shouted when he saw Zhao Yi fiddling with the flower pots in the yard.
"What?"
Zhao Yi looked at Chen Yan and asked with a smile.
"It's OK, just go into the mountains to dig some medicinal herbs."
Chen Yan nodded and smiled.
Now that spring has begun, hunters go into the mountains not to hunt, but to help get some medicinal herbs.
Some medicinal herbs are expensive, while some are cheap. Chen Yan didn't want to go at first, but Captain Xiong forced him to go with him.
This trip earned a little over three yuan, which was a decent income for the people in Xiongjia Village, but not enough for Chen Yan. He earned about ten yuan a day in the region, and it was really not enough to only earn three yuan after working for several days.
"Your little brothers ask you every day, saying they want to buy you a drink."
Zhao Yi smiled.
The people brought by Chen Yan would come here every day to purchase goods, and then run to the other three cities to sell electronic watches. They had a good income and now they began to miss Chen Yan.
"We'll meet tomorrow at noon."
Chen Yan scratched his head and smiled.
early morning.
As soon as Zhao Yi opened the door of his shop, he saw several familiar faces.
"Xiao Yi."
"Uncle, uncle, why are you here?"
Zhao Yi was still a little surprised to see the members of Wangou Village.
"We heard you were selling appliances here so we came to take a look."
These people are all members of Wangou Village. They are not relatives of Zhao Yi, but they are addressed like this by the elders in the village.
"I remember there's no electricity in the village. It's useless for you to buy it back."
But Zhao Yi remembered that Wangou Village did not have electricity this year. The commune had electricity because it was close to the county town. The county town would often contact the commune leaders to go to the county town for meetings, so the commune usually had electricity earlier. However, not every household had electricity, but it was connected right after the commune office building. As long as a few households nearby paid the electricity bill, they would also have electricity.
"I just came to ask if you can buy a bicycle without a ticket. My son is getting married and he wants a bicycle. A second-hand one is fine."
As he spoke, one of them handed Zhao Yi a basket of eggs.
"Second-hand bicycles are sold at the bicycle repair shop not far from here, but they are not cheap either. A bicycle costs at least several dozen yuan."
Zhao Yi pointed to a bicycle repair shop not far away.
Nowadays, bicycles are very prestigious items in rural areas and are quite common in certain regions. Almost every worker has one.
"Didn't you ask Lao Wu where he bought it?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused. Zhao Laowu and Liu Qi both had bicycles, so the villagers should ask them.
"What do they know? They only come to the area occasionally. You have lived in the area for so long, you must know more than them. And you even sold them a TV. I'm afraid they have never seen what a TV looks like."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled helplessly.
Zhao Laowu's family and Liu Qi's family are families that can afford to buy a TV, but there is no electricity in the village, otherwise they would have bought a TV long ago.
"By the way, Xiaoyi, how much is this tape recorder?"
"Two hundred and thirty-five dollars. Uncle, if you want to buy it, I'll give you five dollars off. This tape recorder can be used with batteries or electricity, which is more convenient."
Zhao Yi explained with a smile.
"Can the electricity used by the educated youth back then power a tape recorder?"
Fan Chun looked at Zhao Yi and asked somewhat embarrassedly.
At first, the electricity used by the educated youth was shared with Zhao Yi. Later, when the educated youth were about to leave, Fan Chun ran over and bought the electricity for ten yuan. He also asked the educated youth to help him install it and turned on the light before paying the money.
Now their family is the only one in Wangou Village that can use electricity. When he mentioned this, Zhao Yi should be able to remember what happened, so he felt a little embarrassed.
"It's probably uncertain."
Zhao Yi shook his head. He had used that thing before. The voltage was unstable and the radio often made crackling sounds. But the sound stopped after he went to the county town. Zhao Yi suspected that it was a voltage problem.
Of course I have to remind you now.
"It's okay. Anyway, the village is planning to go to the commune to pull the power line to the village. The village will contribute money and manpower to prepare for the electricity supply. It should be available soon."
"By the way, Xiaoyi Pork, can I trade you a TV?"
"Yes, but it's the same price. A TV is 600 yuan. If you come over, I can give you 5 yuan off."
Zhao Yi smiled.
There is no limit on the number of livestock that can be raised in the village now. Those who make money are raising more pigs. Now that their living conditions have improved, they have begun to pursue these entertainment activities.
Radio and television are of course the main forms of entertainment.
Zhao Yan's family in the commune has a TV. Some kids in Wangou Village go to watch TV at night, and their family members go to pick them up with flashlights.
Worried about the danger on the road, everyone wanted to buy a TV together and put it in the brigade headquarters for the children to watch.
"That's fine. Let's go back and discuss it. We'll come over once we've come up with the rules."
After talking, a few people walked towards the bicycle repair shop. After a while, a man pushed a second-hand bicycle and happily walked back to the station.
Zhao Yi knew that the villagers now had side jobs and the income was much higher than in his previous life, but he didn't expect that they would actually buy a TV.
But Zhao Yi has no control over these things. The quality of the televisions he sells is not bad anyway.
Zhang Jing rushed over with lunch and happened to see a few people leaving.
"Boss, those are the people in our team, they look familiar."
Zhang Jing opened the lunch box and handed the chopsticks to Zhao Yi.
"They said they were here to buy bicycles, and I pointed them out."
Zhao Yi nodded and smiled.
“Do they have tickets?”
Zhang Jing was a little confused.
"Does Zhao Laowu need a ticket for the bicycle he bought?"
Zhao Yi explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Jing realized that these people were here to buy second-hand bicycles.
"It's better to buy an animal than live in the village. It's more practical than a bicycle whether it's for transporting crops or going to the market in the commune."
Zhang Jing shook her head and said.
"What you said makes sense. Are the cattle you raise now considered yours or the team's?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
Zhao Yi's question stumped Zhang Jing. Nowadays, cattle, horses, and donkeys, the productive labor force, are the treasures of the team. There is usually no place to buy them if you want to, let alone raise them yourself.
Zhang Jing had been in the area for too long and didn't react. She thought the broadcast said that the number of livestock to be raised would be relaxed and she could raise any livestock she wanted.
"Okay, don't think about these things, let's just take care of our own business now."
Zhao Yi smiled when he saw Zhang Jing was still thinking about this question.
