Chapter 214: Flower, Bird and Fish Market
“Boom, boom, boom!!”
Lin Heng twisted the accelerator frantically, and the sidecar motorcycle sped along the street, with the cold wind blowing in his face and the speed was extremely high.
This thing used to be for military use. With the development of domestic production in recent years, it has gradually become available to ordinary people.
Pedestrians on the street were very curious when they saw the motorcycle. They turned their heads to look at it with curiosity in their eyes.
Lin Heng also got to experience the feeling of being a yellow-haired guy, and it was quite cool.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Heng had been riding for more than ten minutes without stopping. The man surnamed Zhao couldn't help but remind him, "Is this far enough?"
"Ride for a while longer, I want to see if there is any problem." Lin Heng said with a smile.
After he said this, the man surnamed Zhao had no choice but to shut up. He couldn't stop people from test driving the car.
About twenty minutes after the test, Lin Heng rode back and said he wanted to try the other two bikes.
"You've wasted a lot of my gas money, and you still want to try." The man surnamed Zhao was speechless.
"Compared to a motorcycle, how much does it cost?" Lin Heng shook his head indifferently.
The man surnamed Zhao spread his hands and said, "Of course it is like this, then you can try it."
Lin Heng was riding the army green one just now, but now he changed to this black one.
He strolled for another ten minutes and went to see Xiulan to explain that he was test driving the car.
After an hour-long test drive, Lin Heng used his years of experience to find the most reliable one among them, which was the one with original military green paint.
The other two cars look more handsome because they are painted black, but it is obvious that their engines have been overhauled, and you can see scratches on the screws that were not handled well.
The engine screws of this military green bike have no signs of being twisted. Only the chain and other severely worn parts have been replaced, and the roar is more normal when riding.
At this time, the domestic precision repair technology is not yet up to standard, and Lin Heng is confident in his judgment.
Lin Heng looked at the sly-looking man named Zhao and said, "Two thousand eight, I'll take this one. If you think you can make a profit at this price, you can sell several other cars for one."
The man surnamed Zhao shook his head: "Two thousand and nine, if it's any lower, I can't even make back the transportation costs."
"How is it possible..."
They haggled for a long time. If a normal young person had bought it long ago, Lin Heng just kept haggling and bargaining, showing great patience.
Having experienced so much, he doesn't think it's embarrassing to bargain, and the more affordable the better.
"Okay, okay, okay. I can't argue with you, so I'll do as you say."
In the end, the man surnamed Zhao was forced by Lin Heng to agree.
The motorcycle was finally purchased at a price of two thousand nine hundred, but it came with fifty liters of gasoline, three motorcycle helmets, a simple tire repair tool wrench, etc.
He covers all the ID and license plates, and provides warranty for any breakage within three years.
After finishing, the man surnamed Zhao went to write the car purchase contract, while Lin Heng took another look at the military green sidecar motorcycle.
The displacement is 750CC, the vehicle weight is 350 kg, the horizontal twin-cylinder air-cooled engine has a maximum horsepower of 24 and a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Although it is second-hand, it has twice the horsepower of the previous Happiness 250, so it is worth taking some risks.
The car purchase contract was drafted. Lin Heng read it, signed it and put his fingerprint on it, then went to call Xiulan over.
“Just buy this one.”
Lin Heng handed the key to Xiulan and said with a smile.
Xiulan looked at the army green motorcycle in front of her. Although she didn't like the color, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Walking into the finance office, she took out the money, confirmed the amount and placed it on the table.
After counting the money, the man surnamed Zhao gave Lin Heng an invoice and said with a smile: "Now, this motorcycle is yours."
Lin Heng nodded, took Xiulan out of the car and put a helmet on her: "Come on, I'll take you for a ride."
He can get the license plate and other things the next time he comes down.
The two put on their helmets, packed their things, and Lin Heng started the car and drove out slowly.
After getting in the car, he stepped on the accelerator and immediately started to drive at full speed.
After running around the city, they stopped at a beautiful place. Lin Heng turned his head and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
"Very good, it was delivered so quickly." Xiulan nodded with a smile, and then added, "It's just that the color is a little disappointing. Why don't you buy the black one?"
Lin Heng explained with a smile: "Because this one has the best quality, the other two are not so good. If you want red, you can paint it yourself or find someone to spray paint it."
In fact, he was a little suspicious about the origin of the motorcycle, but he bought it from a regular store and had an invoice and a contract, so even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him.
Xiulan nodded: "Is that so? Then green is green, it's also good, no need to bother changing it."
"Let's continue walking around the city."
Lin Heng said with a smile.
"good!"
The two drove around the city twice and found two motorcycle repair shops. Lin Heng firmly asked about the color change and planned to come over to change the color when he had time in the future.
Changing the color is not expensive, just ten dollars. If it didn’t take a long time, Lin Heng would have wanted to change it now.
The military green color does look a bit ugly, it would be much more handsome if it was changed to black or red.
Driving along, the two soon arrived at the flower, bird, fish and insect market in Taibai City, where all kinds of baby animals were sold.
Lin Heng drove in on a sidecar motorcycle and attracted the attention of countless people in the market. It was not that Lin Heng was showing off intentionally, but there were things on the motorcycle that were easily stolen if left outside.
"How much is your car, young man?"
An old man who was selling puppies nearby asked curiously.
Lin Heng smiled slightly: "A few thousand dollars."
"Rich man, do you want to buy a wolfdog?"
The old man sighed, thinking that Lin Heng was a rich kid from somewhere, and then he smiled and recommended his own son.
These are some very beautiful wolfhound pups, but they are far from the same as Xiongba when he was a child.
"Let me take another look." Lin Heng shook his head and had no idea about the dog for the time being.
Walking into the market, you will be dazzled by the variety of flowers, birds, fish and insects. However, there are no foreign cats and dogs in this era, all of them are local breeds.
There are various cats including tabby cats, Jianzhou cats, orange cats, etc., and there are also different kinds of cats according to their colors. There are more dogs, and the most common ones are the five black dogs, Chow Chows, wolfhounds, five red dogs, etc.
Nowadays, people buy dogs mostly to guard the house, and fewer people buy them as pets. What they value most is their practicality.
The most numerous species here are birds, including all kinds of rare species, after all, they are not protected now.
Lin Heng and Xiulan stopped from time to time to touch the puppy and look at the kitten. This was also a new experience.
“Is this the Five Red Dog?”
Lin Heng looked at a few puppies with light yellow hair and asked curiously, these puppies are very cute, their mouth, nose, eyelids, paws and anus are all red.
The dog seller was a woman in her thirties or forties. She looked at Lin Heng's motorcycle with envy and said with a smile, "Yes, this is the Wuhong dog. It's a good guard dog and it brings a lot of wealth."
In this day and age, having a motorcycle at home is like owning a Mercedes-Benz in 10 years. It is something that will be envied wherever you drive it. Girls on the street will actively flirt with you, hoping to get on board and sit for a ride.
Lin Heng's three-wheeled motorcycle has a rough and unrestrained style and is full of mechanical feel. It is like driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It is impossible not to attract attention.
Lin Heng looked at the puppy, then at the big dog behind it. It was a bit small and not suitable for breeding with Xiongba.
They continued walking forward. After a while, Xiulan suddenly stopped him and said, "Look at that dog."
Lin Heng turned his head and was immediately surprised. This turned out to be the famous hunting dog.
"This dog is a good one, a famous hound."
Lin Heng took a look at the majestic greyhound. It was completely black with fine, dense hair. Its body was just like its name, with a long and thin head, body and legs.
Although it looks a little fragile, those who know it know that this kind of dog can run incredibly fast and is a good hunter.
Although this body shape is not suitable for breeding with Xiongba and the offspring will be very ugly, Lin Heng still wants to buy one.
There are many places that his family needs to look after, such as Hongfeng Mountain or his own home, where dogs are needed.
"How much is this puppy?"
Lin Heng came over and asked.
"Purebred greyhound, ten dollars each." The dog seller looked at Lin Heng and responded, his eyes inevitably resting on Lin Heng's motorcycle.
Lin Heng took a look and began to judge the dog.
When judging whether a dog is good in the countryside, the first thing to look at is its paws. Dogs generally have four paws. If a dog has extra claws and they are not connected to the root bone, the dog has a congenital defect and is generally not bought.
Secondly, look at the nose and mouth. If it is not round and complete, and there is a groove in the middle dividing it into two, it is called a "broken nose". The mouth must also be normal, not overbite.
After reading this, it means that there is nothing serious wrong with the dog's body.
The dog seller picked up the largest one and recommended it, "This one is the best. Look at it, it's the biggest, a circle bigger than the other dogs. If you buy it, it will be a great help whether you want to guard the house or go hunting in the mountains."
Xiulan also took a look and thought that the dog was quite strong and would probably be a good buy, so she turned to ask Lin Heng for his opinion.
Lin Heng took a look at the dog and said casually, "It looks like a stupid dog. Although it is strong, it will be useless if you buy it back. Boss, please stop fooling people."
“Young man, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know how to look after a dog.” The boss had a full beard and smiled a little viciously.
Lin Heng rubbed the dog, looked around, and said fearlessly: "This dog tucked its tail between its legs when it was caught. Everyone knows that this is a sign of cowardice and fear.
No matter how strong the body is, if the character is bad, it will be a waste if you buy it. Does the boss think we are young and easy to cheat? "
As soon as Lin Heng said this, the dog sellers around him all laughed.
"Haha, young people can also look after dogs, not bad."
"Boss Liu, please take this dog away quickly and stop cheating me."
"Young man, my wolf-dog is first-rate. Come and have a look. I'll sell it to you at a low price."
The stall owners around him started to make fun of him, and the bearded boss suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He thought Lin Heng was a rich second-generation who was being taken advantage of, but who knew he was so knowledgeable.
Lin Heng didn't care. He had lived for such a long time in his previous life and had suffered all kinds of losses. It would not be so easy for these unscrupulous businessmen to cheat him in this life.
When looking at a dog, it is not only the size of the dog, but also its character. It is just like choosing a wife. It is useless if the dog has a beautiful appearance but a bad character. Who can stand the dog that gets emotional and throws things or even benches at any time?
Some girls shopping nearby were staring at stars, thinking that Lin Heng was so handsome, as he was both rich and knowledgeable. The only pity was that there was another woman by his side.
Lin Heng picked out the second largest one among the five black dogs. This one was very friendly. It would wag its tail even when being played with, and it was not afraid of people at all.
Although it is not as big as the previous one, its future potential is definitely much better.
“I bought this for five dollars.”
Lin Heng played with it for a while and said to the boss.
"No, that won't work. It has to be at least eight dollars." The boss shook his head.
After some arguing, Lin Heng finally bought it for six dollars.
Xiulan's eyes lit up as she watched from the side. Not only was Lin Heng knowledgeable, his bargaining skills were better than his. It made her feel very safe to hang out with him.
Some of the stall owners nearby also saw Lin Heng's abilities and their eyes turned to respect. This young man was not only rich, but also very capable.
"Young man, are you still buying? I have a blue wolfhound here. Do you want to take a look?"
A stall owner in the distance asked with a smile.
"Blue Wolfhound, let me take a look."
Lin Heng took Xiulan to watch curiously.
This Blue Wolfhound is somewhat similar to the German Shepherd, but looks more like a wolf, both in terms of fur and body shape.
The stall owner was an old man. He looked at Lin Heng and smiled as he introduced: "This blue wolfhound is not smaller than a greyhound when it grows up. It can grow to 130 or 40 kilograms.
This kind of dog is a cross between a local wolfhound and a wolf. It is very loyal to its owner and very ferocious. If you raise it and take it out, it will definitely be very impressive.”
The old man had his hands in his sleeves and pointed with his eyes at the stud standing next to him as he spoke. The stud was a large blue-gray wolfdog with a shoulder height of more than 70 centimeters. He looked very mighty.
Lin Heng actually saw the dog early in the morning, but was delayed by the greyhound.
He thought it would be a good idea to raise this dog and pair it with Xiongba, who was also a wolfdog, and the offspring would be very handsome.
As for what the old man said, just listen to it. As for hybridization with wolves, even if it is true, it has only happened for dozens of generations.
But these puppies were very happy, crying and playing with each other.
Lin Heng caught a female and took a look at it. Both its size and personality were indeed good.
"How many months has it been?" Lin Heng looked up and asked.
"If it's two and a half months old, I'll give it to you for 15 yuan." The old man said with a smile.
"Eight dollars, no more." Lin Heng shook his head.
The old man had seen how good Lin Heng was at negotiating the price, so he didn't bother to continue talking nonsense and said, "Nine dollars, take it."
"good."
Lin Heng didn't waste any time. He grabbed a little female dog that he thought was the best, put it in a cage together with the thin dog, and took it away.
"Are you selling Chow Chows?" someone nearby asked.
“No more dogs.”
Lin Heng shook his head, two would be enough.
But he didn't plan to leave. There were goldfish for sale in this place, and he planned to buy two to take back.
