In this era, the basic industries of the Dragon Country were still very backward.
However, it was not difficult to make something like a bicycle.
There was really nothing high-tech to make a bicycle.
The most basic industrial combination would do.
But sewing machines were different.
Although the mechanical principle of a sewing machine was very simple, the mechanical precision required was an order of magnitude higher than that of a bicycle.
Let's put it this way!
If the difficulty of making a bicycle was 10, then the difficulty of making a sewing machine directly soared to more than 100.
It was such a huge difference.
Moreover, the production of sewing machines was even lower.
Therefore, this resulted in a situation where the supply exceeded the demand. It was difficult for ordinary people to see sewing machines in their homes. Only those leaders could get them.
A sewing machine costs 380 yuan.
However, on the black market, the price of sewing a plane ticket could go up to 500 yuan, or even higher.
How could ordinary people afford sewing machines?
Anyone who could afford a sewing plane ticket was definitely rich and noble.
Therefore, even the saleswoman who had a cold face all year round, as if her father had died, smiled when she saw Wang Mei at this moment.
The surrounding people were drooling with envy.
"Hiss hiss…I'm buying a sewing machine!”
"Oh my god, someone really bought a sewing machine!”
"I heard that this thing can make clothes very quickly. It can make a cotton coat in a day!”
"One day? I heard that those who are quick can do it in half a day…"
"Hiss hiss…I'm so envious!”
The surrounding commoners looked at Liu Fan and Wang Mei with envy.
"Alright!" Wang Mei took out the tickets and money and said,"Comrade, please count!"
" Okay, okay, okay…" The salesperson counted and said,""No problem, I'll arrange for someone to send you the sewing machine now, but we can only send you the bicycle in the afternoon!”
Under normal circumstances, the department store would not give you a bicycle.
After you bought it, you would line up in the afternoon to get it.
However, seeing Wang Mei buy a sewing machine, the treatment was definitely different.
It was delivered directly to the door.
Soon, a tricycle came out of the department store with a brand new sewing machine on it.
The Flying Man brand sewing machine.
……
Twenty minutes later, Wang Mei brought the children back to the courtyard house.
Because she took the bus back, she walked quickly.
The speed of the bicycle behind them was very slow. It would take some time.
So on the surface, Wang Mei came back empty-handed.
" Hey…" Jia Zhangshi had caught hold of this. She was lying on the armchair and basking in the sun. She stood up from the chair and looked at Liu Fan and Wang Mei with her thick triangular eyes."Hey, Wang Mei, didn't you go buy a bicycle? Why did you come back empty-handed?"
"You didn't buy it, did you?"
"Hehe…I can't afford a bicycle, but I have to have a ticket!”
Jia Zhangshi knew that Wang Mei was rich.
He had just extorted 200 yuan from their family. It would be strange if he didn't have money!
Therefore, she felt that Wang Mei definitely did not have a ticket.
Wang Mei was too lazy to respond to such a boring attack.
Even Liu Fan shook his head lazily.
Only Little Duo was young and immature. She said angrily,""My mom bought a bicycle. She said she would send it over in the afternoon!”
" Pfft…" Jia Zhangshi burst out laughing and said,""Who do you think you are?”
"When Grandpa One bought the bicycle, he didn't see anyone send it to him!”
"Yes, I am!" Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to continue the conversation and said,""After you buy the bicycle, I will have to get a license plate. You can go and get it yourself in the afternoon. I won't give it to you!”
Yi Zhonghai was against Wang Mei buying a bicycle.
A bicycle?
This was a symbol of power.
Other than Xu Damao's capitalist daughter, there were only three uncles in the entire courtyard who could own it.
Now, Wang Mei wants to buy a bicycle. Isn't this challenging our authority?
" Haha…" Yan Bugui laughed coldly and said,""It's not that I want to criticize you, but you're too unprofessional in lying. You've always picked up bicycles yourself.”
"Do you think you're a leader?!"
In the end!
As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, a tricycle rushed into the courtyard.
"Is this where Wang Mei's house is?"
Swoosh...
Everyone's gaze turned to the door.
The delivery man glanced at Wang Mei and said,"Heh, that's right…your things!”
The birds in the courtyard slowly stood up.
He looked surprised.
Was it really a bicycle?
"When did the department store get better? They even gave bicycles?”Yan Bugui muttered.
When the young man arrived at the courtyard on his tricycle, everyone surrounded him.
"This isn't a bicycle?" "What is this thing?!" Yan Bugui asked.”
He didn't know her!
Not only did Yan Bugui not recognize him, even the surrounding neighbors did not recognize him.
Sewing machines had two forms.
One was the complete form when he was working.
One was a leisure form.
When resting, the head of the sewing machine could be retracted into the machine belly with a turn.
Now that the nose of the plane was in his stomach, he couldn't see the nose of the plane, so he naturally couldn't recognize it.
"What is this?" Even Yi Zhonghai frowned.
Wang Mei did not speak.
The delivery man said," The sewing machine…Wang Mei bought the sewing machine. We are responsible for sending it over and installing it!”
"What?"
Yi Zhonghai was stunned and his mouth opened wide.
"Sewing machine?"
"How is that possible?"
"How can it be a sewing machine?"
The birds were also shocked to the point that their expressions turned grave, and then their expressions turned ugly.
They had agreed to buy a bicycle.
You bought a sewing machine?
Although everyone felt uncomfortable buying a bicycle, they could still accept it.
But you actually bought a sewing machine?
"This can't be right!" Yan Bugui's face darkened,""I once went to the home of the leader of the Education and Sports Bureau and saw a sewing machine. The sewing machine didn't look like this!”
"Not bad!"
"My father-in-law also has one at home. It doesn't look like a sewing machine!" Xu Damao said.”
Logically speaking, if Lou Xiao'e wanted to, buying a sewing machine was not a problem.
However, Lou Xiao'e was the daughter of a big family and had never done much work in her life.
She didn't make clothes, so it was useless for her to have a sewing machine.
Most of her clothes were ready-made, and a small portion was made by her mother and the temporary workers hired by her family.
She was a young lady, so it was impossible for her to make clothes.
Therefore, Xu Damao did not have a sewing machine at home.
" Hehehehe…" Jia Zhangshi laughed,""Are you kidding me? What did you buy? Why did you say it was a sewing machine? Aren't you afraid of hurting your tongue when you lie?”
"Ridiculous!"
Wang Mei's expression was calm. She did not argue.
However, the delivery man was not convinced."How is this not a sewing machine? Isn't the head of the sewing machine in your stomach?”
Kacha…
With a flip of his hand, the young man opened the sewing machine and took out the head.
Swoosh...
The people in the courtyard were dumbfounded.
