Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 137 3-Wheeler

The next day, Lin Qingyan arrived at Hyundai early and went to the second-hand market with Zhou Limei to buy a tricycle.

However, Lin Qingyan took a fancy to a pedal tricycle in the second-hand market, while Zhou Limei frowned as she looked at the tricycle.

The boss of the second-hand market kept recommending:

"Except for the fact that it's not electric, there's nothing wrong with this car. The materials are the best ever. The car looks a little old, but that's not a problem. Just paint it and it'll be as good as new."

“The biggest problem is that it’s not electric!”

Zhou Limei really couldn't understand why Lin Qingyan bought this kind of tricycle, and couldn't help but retort to her boss.

Lin Qingyan was very satisfied with this car.

"Sister Zhou, I think this is great. It can hold a lot more things than a bicycle!"

Seeing that Lin Qingyan wanted to buy it, the boss quickly recommended it: "Little sister, you are right, this is much better than a bicycle, and it only costs 200 yuan, do you want it?"

"What? This broken tricycle costs 200 yuan? Qingyan, let's go!"

When Zhou Limei heard what her boss said, she pulled Lin Qingyan away.

"Little sister, don't go. If you are sure you want it, I can give you a discount."

Zhou Limei replied directly, "Will you sell it for 100 yuan?"

"100 yuan, why don't you go and rob it? I can sell it as scrap metal for dozens of yuan!"

The boss was very angry. It was not that he refused to bargain, but that the price was too high. This scrap metal could only be sold for dozens of dollars.

"Then you can keep it and sell it as scrap metal. Look who would buy a pedal tricycle now!" Zhou Limei pulled Lin Qingyan to the door.

"160 yuan, that's the lowest price. It can't be any lower. If it's any lower, I would rather sell it as scrap metal." The boss shouted behind them.

Seeing that she really couldn't lower the price, Zhou Limei winked at Lin Qingyan.

After seeing this, Lin Qingyan deliberately stopped.

"Sister, why don't I buy it?"

Zhou Limei said angrily, "I told you but you didn't listen. It's up to you! Don't blame me if you regret it later."

After saying that, he walked out, looking like he didn't want to bother with them.

Lin Qingyan saw Zhou Limei walk out the door and said to the boss:

"My sister is angry and thinks I'm wasting money on this. I don't dare to go against her. Boss, how about you make it cheaper?"

"No, I can still make dozens of dollars from selling the scrap metal!" But his tone was not as firm as before.

"But if you sell it to me, you will get a lot more than if you sold it as scrap metal, and it will be cheaper! So you don't have to sell scrap metal anymore." Lin Qingyan said to the boss with a smile.

The boss hesitated and said, "Girl, give me 150. No lower!"

"Boss, 140, please! If it's okay, I'll pay!"

"No, no! Go away, I'm going to sell scrap metal!"

The boss was very unhappy. He had offered a very sincere price, but the two sisters were asking for too much.

"140, right? This table's payment code is yours, right?" Lin Qingyan opened her phone and scanned the code.

The boss finally shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll give it to you as a gift! Give me 140!"

Lin Qingyan happily paid the money, and the boss asked her: "Do you want to paint it? It will be as good as new after that!"

Lin Qingyan quickly shook her head. This tricycle couldn't be painted. It looked so shabby.

In a few years, it can still be used in the 70s, but if it is painted, it will be unusable.

When Lin Qingyan rode her tricycle out of the yard,

Zhou Limei, who was waiting at the door, couldn't help but ask her, "Why don't you want an electric tricycle? Why do you have to have this pedal-powered one?"

"Sister, it's inconvenient to charge electric cars at my home. This one is just right!" Lin Qingyan said to Zhou Limei with a smile.

Zhou Limei slapped her head and completely forgot about the battery outage. She hadn't talked about this issue for some time and had forgotten about it.

"Then go back and get the food. I've already notified the group that we'll open tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back and bring the vegetables over. Sister Zhou also has some fruits that were picked earlier and stored in a special place. They are still fresh. Can you bring them over?"

Lin Qingyan thought of the watermelons, peaches, etc. in the space. It was a pity that such delicious things could only be kept in the space.

Zhou Limei pondered, looked at Lin Qingyan and said:

"Qingyan, first of all, we have to ensure that vegetables and fruits are not sprayed with pesticides. This is the most basic requirement. Do you understand?"

"Sister Zhou, don't worry. We don't use pesticides on our farm. We don't use any pesticides on vegetables or fruits."

Seeing that Lin Qingyan had made her position clear, Zhou Limei said to her:

"Please bring some of each fruit! We'll see how the market reacts."

"Okay, Sister Zhou, please go to the store and wait. I have already transported some of the vegetables to the foot of the mountain. I will go back and get them here first."

After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she rode her newly bought tricycle up the mountain.

Arriving at the abandoned courtyard, I rode the tricycle to the back door, entered from the back, and then tried to put it into the space.

The tricycle appeared in the space, and Lin Qingyan was very happy, as this saved a lot of trouble.

She placed the tricycle at the door of the fresh-keeping room in the space and covered the bottom of the tricycle with a layer of plastic sheeting, which was some of the leftover plastic sheeting from the last time she installed the greenhouse.

Take out some of each variety of vegetables from the fresh-keeping room and put them in the tricycle.

When the tricycle was full, Lin Qingyan took a wooden board and placed it on the tricycle. She then tied the board to the handrails on both sides of the tricycle with ropes.

He brought two more bamboo baskets, one for vegetables and the other for fruits.

Finally, she put the two baskets on the wooden board on the tricycle and tied them up with ropes. This tricycle carried nearly five baskets of vegetables.

After tidying up, Lin Qingyan sat in the pavilion by the well to rest for a while and drank some water to replenish her energy.

After resting for a while, he sorted out the vegetables and fruits that had grown in the space, and then rode his bike to the store.

When Zhou Limei saw her coming with a full car, she was so surprised!

He hurried over to help her park the tricycle and asked her, "How did you get so many here at once?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and replied, "I don't want to make two trips for something that can be solved in one go. Besides, these are not important and are very easy."

As he spoke, he untied the ropes tied to the baskets, took down the two bamboo baskets, and carried the baskets directly into the store.

Zhou Limei didn't even have the chance to go forward and help her lift it.

After seeing her go in, Zhou Limei tried to move another basket, but she couldn't even lift it. She could only wait for Lin Qingyan to come out.

"I saw that you moved it easily, so I wanted to move the bamboo basket too, but it turned out to be against me. It was like it was nailed to the ground and couldn't move at all." Zhou Limei said angrily?

Lin Qingyan comforted her with a smile:

"Each of us has different strengths. My strength is my strength, and I'm also okay at farming, but I don't know anything about store operations. You'll have to rely on yourself, Sister Zhou."

Zhou Limei shook her head helplessly and waited for Lin Qingyan to bring another bamboo basket into the shop and remove the wooden board from the tricycle.

Only then did Zhou Limei see the vegetables under the wooden board.

There are many varieties, and she seems to have grown all the vegetable seeds I bought for her last time.

I couldn't help but praise Lin Qingyan in my heart. Her skills in this field are much better than those of ordinary people.
