If he gave them peanuts and soybeans occasionally, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian would be loyal to him.
After dinner, Xu Damao went home to catch up on sleep.
Since there was nothing much to do, he might as well rest.
For the next ten days, Xu Damao spent the rest of his time with Father Xu and the others.
With the things that Xu Damao took from the space, how could the food be bad every day?
Basically, there was meat for every meal. Vegetables that other people could not see in winter were actually quite a lot on the table.
"Damao, spend less money in the future. You still have to get a wife.”
While Father Xu was eating happily, he did not forget to pay attention to the price of these things.
After calculating for a while, she felt sorry for Xu Damao.
According to this level of flower technique, which girl could marry her own son?
For someone who didn't know how to live, even a hundred yuan a month wouldn't be enough.
"Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I know what to do.”
"Alright, you have to be careful in the future.”
After instructing Xu Damao, Father Xu remembered something else.
"Da Mao, this time our family has earned a huge profit.”
Father Xu looked happy and told Xu Damao everything.
A few days ago, his colleague at the cinema received insider news that the price of bicycles in the country was about to start increasing.
It wasn't an ordinary increase, but a skyrocketing increase.
A bicycle retails for 650 dollars!
Previously, the Perpetual and Phoenix cards were sold for more than 150 yuan.
It had risen by nearly 500 yuan, which was unexpected to everyone.
In addition, it was said that the price of watches would also increase.
The semi-steel watch rose from 60 yuan to 160 yuan. It rose by 100 yuan out of nowhere.
Speaking of bicycles nowadays, there was only one word: expensive.
It was still ridiculously expensive, unreasonably expensive.
"Damao, luckily we bought it early. If we didn't buy it back then, we wouldn't be able to afford a bicycle in the future.”
Father Xu was glad that the price of the bicycle had increased by nearly 500 yuan and the price of the watch had increased by 100 yuan.
This guy, two bicycles added up to an extra 1,000 yuan.
What kind of concept was that? With this price, one could buy a house in the capital.
Not only that, the consumption of industrial coupons was 10 yuan each.
A bicycle that cost 650 yuan required 65 industrial coupons.
Whether it was money or tickets, it was very troublesome.
In the past, riding a bicycle was only enviable. Now, riding a bicycle was enviable.
Xu Damao was more familiar with this aspect, because many craftsmen who assembled bicycles were born in the past two years.
Assembling a bicycle without a photo or identification would result in a fine or forfeit if caught.
The management in Beijing was strict, but not every place in the country was so strict.
In the county and the countryside, who would care so much if they were forced into a corner?
He would never be able to afford a bicycle that cost 650 yuan.
Many people took the risk of being fined and confiscated to ride their own bicycles.
Without a license plate, why not just get one that looked similar from afar?
……
"Alright, Dad. I should go back to the quad too. I'll come back if I have the chance in the future.”
Xu Damao packed his things and rode his Phoenix bicycle back to the courtyard house.
Along the way, the bicycle attracted a lot of attention.
He stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house and Xu Damao got off to push the cart in.
In the front yard, Yan Bugui was playing chess with Liu Haizhong while Yi Zhonghai watched from the side.
"Yo! Da Mao is back, but I haven't seen him for a while.”
Yan Bugui was no longer in the mood to play chess, and so was Liu Haizhong, who was sitting opposite him.
"Damao, you've really profited a lot.”
"Tell me, why didn't I buy a bicycle back then?”
The news of the price increase of bicycles also spread throughout the Siheyuan, and everyone in Liu Hai's heart regretted it.
He regretted that he hadn't hardened his heart and bought a bicycle.
Look at the price of the bicycle now, it has risen to 650 yuan.
Liu Hai was extremely depressed. He had tickets in his hands.
But now, he could only watch.
The 650 yuan bicycle was enough for him to earn half a year's salary.
"Damao, I heard that the price of watches is going to increase as well. You've earned 592 yuan.”
Yan Bugui had seen Xu Damao's half-steel watch before. He calculated in his heart and was extremely shocked.
Good heavens, look at how he saved money. This was too amazing.
"Third Uncle, you must be joking. I was just lucky.”
Xu Damao spoke very modestly. Right now, he was more focused on keeping a low profile.
At the side, Liu Hai saw the half-steel watch on Xu Damao's hand and felt uncomfortable.
He was the second uncle of the courtyard house. Even he could not afford such a good watch.
In addition, after people bought bicycles, the price of bicycles increased, and after buying watches, the price of watches increased.
Even if he wanted to buy it now, the price was too ridiculously expensive.
Yan Bugui was also envious of Xu Damao. He had planned to save up for a few years before buying a bicycle.
Who knew that the price of the bicycle would change so much? Yan Bugui was not confident. If the price remained the same, would he buy it or not?
If he bought it, it would be 650 yuan. He could buy a house.
If he didn't buy it, other people would ride their bicycles to and from work, but he would have to take the bus.
Yi Zhonghai was the most open-minded person. He had never planned to buy a bicycle, so he did not care about the price increase at all.
"Damao, when you get tired of this car, how about you transfer it to me?”
The price of 650 yuan made Liu Haizhong lose confidence in buying a bicycle.
He felt that he should build a good relationship with Xu Damao and then spend money to buy a used car in a few years.
Otherwise, if they bought a bicycle at the current market price, the whole family would have to scrimp and save for the next one or two years.
"Second Uncle, the matter hasn't been settled yet. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Xu Damao's bicycle was a Phoenix brand bicycle. If he wanted to sell it for 180 yuan after a few years, there would be plenty of people fighting to buy it.
Famous brands were worth this money.
"Alright, alright. Look at the two of you. Do you still have the appearance of an elder? You're all into money.”
Yi Zhonghai felt that Xu Damao was right. The matter had not been settled yet.
It was too embarrassing for the two of them to be like this.
"Old Yi, it's really easy for you to say that. If you don't want to buy a bicycle, of course you have to say that.”
Liu Haizhong was unhappy. What could he do?
If he didn't buy a second-hand bicycle, the bicycle in the shop would cost 650 yuan. Could he afford it?
"Ahem, aunties, I'll go home first.”
Xu Damao stood at the side, not knowing what to say.
Buying second-hand bicycles was the norm in the future. People would buy them in the 70s and 80s.
However, it was better for him not to get involved in the matters of the three masters.
Xu Damao pushed the bicycle and left, leaving the three uncles staring at each other.
