After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp
Chapter 51 Buying a Bicycle
Moreover, transactions are all about bargaining. The other party is definitely offering a bottom price, and Lin Fan can still raise it.
"To be honest, I'm selling this for an old hunter in the village. I'm just earning a small fee. Twenty yuan a pound is a bit low, how about twenty-five?"
"Twenty-five?"
The proprietress was somewhat embarrassed.
But Lin Fan was being honest. The other party was only making a small profit from running the errand. Without these 40 or 50 pounds of stuff, there was no point in selling it. They would earn less than those wild mushrooms, so it would be a wasted trip.
Thinking of this, the proprietress gritted her teeth: "Young man, I can see you're an honest person. How about this, twenty-three, let's each compromise?"
Lin Fan pretended to frown and hesitate, but finally nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then it'll be twenty-three. After all, I get along well with the landlady!"
The proprietress burst into laughter at Lin Fan's words.
"Haha, young man, you know how to talk. One jin is twenty-three, and this is fifty-five jin, making a total of one thousand two hundred and thirty-five. Count it!"
The proprietress left for a while, and then returned with the money and slapped it into Lin Fan's hand.
Looking at the thick wad of money in his hand, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, money's no problem, thank you so much, boss lady, let's work together again in the future!"
"Alright, young man, hurry up and go make it, the food will be ready soon!"
……
After the round trip, Lin Fan had 2,705 yuan more in his hand.
Including all costs, his net profit these days is around 1,900 yuan.
Adding the money he made from selling ginseng and wild mushrooms a few days ago, and the 500 yuan he gave to his older sister, he now has a total of more than 2,400 yuan on hand!
And this is only Lin Fan's income for less than a month.
After finishing his meal and leaving the restaurant, Lin Fan took a deep breath and felt an inexhaustible amount of energy within him.
Two thousand yuan! This is my first pot of gold to get started.
With this money to back me up, I can seize any opportunity that comes my way immediately, and I won't miss it because I don't have the capital!
Soon, he will be able to fulfill all his promises to his family: send Qiao'er and the others to school, buy a new house in the county town, and help his second brother get married!
These things will definitely come true!
"Brother-in-law, Dad, as usual, you two wait here for a while. I'm going to the mall to buy a bicycle and a sewing machine for the house!"
Having earned money, Lin Fan naturally wanted to improve his life, and he was never stingy in this regard.
Remembering how Shuying used to sew clothes by hand with needle and thread when she was at home, Lin Fan started thinking about getting a sewing machine for the house.
Besides, a bicycle is also essential. That old bicycle is almost scrapped and can't take the weight anymore. I need to buy a new one so it will be more convenient to travel to and from the county town.
Actually, Lin Fan would prefer to buy a motorcycle, but motorcycles are quite expensive, and he might not have enough money right now, so he can only wait!
"Okay, third brother, you're a capable person. You can make money and you know how to spend it. Dad and your brother-in-law are waiting for you here!"
Lin Desheng didn't say much this time; on the contrary, he wholeheartedly supported Lin Fan's decision.
Because he knew that Lin Fan's ideas and thoughts were correct compared to his own; otherwise, how could Lin Fan have made such a large sum of money with his family in just a few days?
……
After leaving the vicinity of the restaurant, Lin Fan headed straight for the largest shopping mall in the county.
Compared to the countryside, five- or six-story houses are common in the county town, but the tallest building is still the department store located in the very center of the county town.
A building with twelve floors is very rare in this era; it's the only one of its kind in the entire Liangshan County.
This place has everything: all kinds of electrical appliances, home furnishings, motorcycles, bicycles, and even small toys that cost only a penny or two, feather dusters, etc. If you can think of it, you can buy it here.
So there are usually a lot of people here. Lin Fan was carrying a bag on his back, so he was naturally very careful. It contained all his wealth. If he lost it, he would have nowhere to turn.
Lin Fan looked around at the signs in the department store and finally decided on the place to buy bicycles. He planned to buy a Phoenix brand bicycle, which was very popular recently. He heard that it was of good quality and not easy to break, but it was a bit expensive, probably costing around two hundred yuan.
Upon arriving on the fourth floor of the mall, Lin Fan headed straight for the bicycle shop.
Inside the shop was a very fashionable middle-aged woman, wearing small leather boots, sporting the latest wavy perm, with bright red lipstick, and shorts so short they made people blush.
"Young man, would you like to buy a bicycle?"
When the shop owner saw Lin Fan walk in, his gaze fixed on the bicycles in the shop, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and go to greet him.
Lin Fan nodded and smiled, "Hello, do you have Phoenix brand bicycles?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Lin Fan with some surprise, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes!"
"Young man, that row over there are all Phoenix brand bicycles, priced between 150 and 220 yuan. Take a look and tell me which one you like!"
In fact, people treat others differently based on their status, and this boss was no exception.
Lin Fan was wearing a coarse cloth shirt and old cloth shoes. He looked very rustic and didn't look like someone who could afford a bicycle.
However, Lin Fan was simply too handsome, and his smile was so sincere and warm that it made people blush.
A handsome young man like that staying in the store would attract quite a few young girls, wouldn't it?
Thinking this to himself, the shop owner did notice that two young girls in the sewing machine shop across the street were also constantly looking in his direction.
……
"Qingqing, look, look! There's a handsome guy over there!"
The speaker was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, who was currently holding the arm of another girl and excitedly whispering in her ear, pointing at Lin Fan.
The two girls were dressed very stylishly and beautifully, with heavy makeup on their faces, pretty fanny packs around their waists, and fashionable curly hair.
She wore little dress shoes and sexy, form-fitting jeans. Her exposed skin was as tender as an egg, clearly showing that she was a city girl who never did hard labor or sunbathing.
Hearing her friend's words, Liu Qingqing subconsciously looked up, and then her face showed a look of surprise and shock.
"It's him?"
Hearing her best friend's unconscious mutterings, Han Miaoyi couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Qingqing, you know him?"
Liu Qingqing looked in the direction Lin Fan was, bit her red lips, and whispered, "I know him!"
"He's the son of the Chen family that I told you about before!"
Han Miaoyi was initially full of gossip, thinking it was the handsome young man her friend had hooked up with, but she never expected it to be that person.
