Chapter 1153

Before they even left the gate, Wang Dazhu suddenly stopped the four-wheeled tractor and said:

"Our family doesn't have much diesel left. Should we get two more barrels of diesel?"

Wang An thought for a while and said:

"Then just get one barrel to use first, and then get more next spring."

The label of diesel in winter is higher, and the price is more expensive, so it's completely unnecessary to prepare so much diesel now.

As he spoke, Wang An jumped out of the car, walked to the storage shed, threw an empty oil barrel onto the car, and Wang Dazhu then engaged the gear and stepped on the gas, driving straight to the county town.

In the Northeast in October, the morning temperature is quite cool. Of course, this is the feeling when wearing very thick clothes. If you wear very thin clothes, it's not a matter of being cool, but being very cold.

Wang An originally wanted to drive, because driving a four-wheeled tractor, the person sitting in the driver's seat is the coldest.

Because no matter how fierce the cold wind blows, the driver must look straight ahead and resist the cold wind without any shelter.

Even if you wear a hat and a scarf, the cold wind still drills into your clothes.

However, after Wang An mentioned it twice, he was rejected by Comrade Wang Dazhu, the reason being that Wang Dazhu was willing to drive.

Consequently, Wang An stopped mentioning this matter.

More than an hour later, Wang Dazhu drove the four-wheeled tractor into the county town. Seeing the various shops that had appeared on the side of the street, Wang Dazhu said with great emotion:

"Sigh, this county town changes every day. When we were building the house and pulling cement, there weren't this many people doing business. Damn, suddenly there are so many."

Wang An smiled:

"Yes, it's fast. Wait two years and look again; the changes in the county town will be even greater than this."

It must be admitted that China's infrastructure speed is definitely the fastest in the world.

Because Wang An clearly remembered that when he left the county town in his past life, many buildings had already been built in the county town, but these buildings were mainly office buildings built by various units, and there were very few private individuals who could build buildings.

Wang Dazhu nodded upon hearing this and said:

"Yes, from the last time I came until now, it hasn't been half a year, and the changes are so big. By next year, the changes will definitely be even bigger."

The two chatted, and Wang An also explained various places in the county town to Wang Dazhu from time to time.

Although Wang Dazhu had been to the county town a few times before, the number of times was countable on his fingers. Aside from the market and the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Dazhu hadn't wandered around anywhere else.

One must know that DJ County is a county town after all, and DJ County also has various factories, so the area is quite large.

Just like that, the two soon arrived at the Agricultural Machinery Company.

It must be said that if China wants to develop a certain economy, the speed is definitely very fast.

At this time, because of the grain problem, China had to vigorously develop agriculture. Aside from measures like improving seeds and building water conservancy, mechanization was the most critical item.

Just like transplanting rice seedlings, manual transplanting and machine transplanting are two completely different concepts.

Therefore, the hand-guided tractors that were very scarce and popular in the spring now had at least 30 or 40 parked in the courtyard of the Agricultural Machinery Company waiting to be sold.

Even the small four-wheeled tractor that Wang An bought had two parked there waiting to be sold.

To put it bluntly, as long as someone wants to buy, there is stock of hand-guided tractors.

And besides that, household small harvesters had actually appeared.

However, it's a pity that this harvester is for harvesting corn, not wheat or rice; otherwise, Wang An would definitely have bought one.

However, starting next year, aside from planting fewer miscellaneous grains and beans, as well as a small amount of wheat, Wang An's family planned to plant only rice on their farmland.

The reason is simple: because of the old god Yuan, rice is simply too high-yielding.

One must know that the yield per mu of rice planted by Wang An's family this year was more than double the yield per mu of wheat, and the price of rice was slightly higher than white flour. Therefore, in this situation, planting wheat again would be a disrespect to the land.

Wang An and his father parked the car in a place that didn't obstruct anyone and walked toward the area where the grass cutters were.

Just like what Wang An said at home, there are mainly two types of grass cutters now: ordinary ones and blower-equipped ones.

The blower-equipped ones looked much more advanced than the ordinary ones because they had an extra fan and a curved grass outlet.

Pointing to the grass cutter, Wang An smiled:

"How about it, Dad? Doesn't the blower-equipped one look more like a real thing?"

Wang Dazhu nodded and said:

"Yes, but I don't know how much the two cost. If the price difference isn't big, I'd still say buy the blower-equipped one. Mainly because after hearing what you said, this thing is so convenient."

Wang An said with a smile:

"It's a bit different, but it's convenient. Anyway, it's one-time money, so it's better to do it all at once, so you won't miss it later."

Wang Dazhu blinked and said:

"That makes sense. Then buy the blower-equipped one."

Deciding what to buy, Wang An led Wang Dazhu straight to the office.

In this era, wanting to buy something, especially in this kind of public unit, there is absolutely no such thing as active service. Anyway, it's a state of "take it or leave it."

Asking inside, the ordinary grass cutter was 760 yuan, while the blower-equipped one was 980 yuan, a full 220 yuan difference.

Under Wang Dazhu's pained gaze, Wang An handed the money to the finance department.

Paying, getting the receipt, picking up the goods, loading the car—a series of things were handled, and it was already half an hour later.

It must be mentioned that buying this grass cutter, the Agricultural Machinery Company also gave two extra sets of blades. In this way, counting the blades that came with the grass cutter, this grass cutter had three sets of blades.

The "set" mentioned here refers to three blades, but these blades are all the same, and there is no need to distinguish their positions when using them.

After loading the car, Wang An tentatively asked the warehouse manager:

"Brother, how much is the diesel you add in winter per jin?"

Hearing that Wang An wanted to buy diesel, the expression of this warehouse manager changed instantly. Before, he was expressionless, but now he smiled like a eunuch and asked Wang An very kindly:

"Little brother, do you want to buy diesel?"

Wang An said very calmly:

"I just wanted to ask. If you are cheaper, I will buy from you; otherwise, I have to find someone to buy from the supply and marketing cooperative."

The warehouse manager looked at the oil barrel on the car, knowing that Wang An really wanted to buy, and saw his eyes roll and say:

"We are definitely cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. How about this: the supply and marketing cooperative is now 5 mao 7 per jin, and I'll give you 5 mao 4, 3 fen cheaper per jin. How about that?"
