Chapter 1154

It must be said that the price of this diesel used in winter is really not cheap.

Ordinary diesel is 4 mao 2 per jin, but winter diesel has become 5 mao 4 per jin. Even so, this is the price after they took the initiative to offer a discount.

It's just that it has always been like this, so no one has any way to deal with it.

Consequently, Wang An took out a cigarette, gave one to the warehouse manager, and one to his father, and after lighting them, he tried to bargain:

"5 mao is fine. I have more than 130 jin in this barrel, so I'll fill it up for 5 mao."

The warehouse manager frowned and said:

"5 mao is definitely not okay. How about this: if you fill up this barrel, I'll calculate it at 5 mao 3 per jin."

Wang An also frowned and said:

"It's only 1 fen difference. Then, brother, take another step back and make it 5 mao 2. Otherwise, it's useless for me to press so much winter diesel. When next spring comes, we'll use that cheap ordinary oil."

The warehouse manager smacked his lips and said:

"5 mao 2 is 5 mao 2. It's agreed to fill one barrel; otherwise, this price won't be sold to you."

Wang An nodded and smiled:

"That's a must. A man's word is his bond."

Just like that, Wang An spent 70 yuan to buy a barrel of diesel at the Agricultural Machinery Company and put it on the car.

It's just that, as Wang An expected, the money for selling diesel doesn't go through finance, but is collected by the warehouse manager.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang An. After all, Wang An got the benefit, and Wang An wouldn't do things like getting the benefit and still acting like a brat.

Therefore, Wang An just smiled meaningfully at the warehouse manager and said:

"When next spring comes, I'll come to you to buy oil again, brother?"

The warehouse manager collected the money and said happily:

"That's too okay, brother. Don't worry, I'll give you a discount again. Hahaha..."

I don't know how much of the Agricultural Machinery Company's diesel was stolen and sold by these people privately, that it was sold at such a low price compared to the normal oil price.

However, there is an old saying: "rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water." Relying on the Agricultural Machinery Company, you have to rely on the Agricultural Machinery Company to survive.

Besides, all crows under the sun are black; it's always like this, no choice.

After much effort to lift the oil barrel onto the car, Wang Dazhu and Wang An left the Agricultural Machinery Company.

They went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few pieces of asphalt and a 10-cm-wide, 6-meter-long belt, and Comrade Wang Dazhu drove the four-wheeled tractor home.

The so-called belt is something used to connect the flywheel of the grass cutter and the flywheel of the diesel engine.

Because most of the machinery in this era is powered by diesel engines, it needs such a thing that looks like a bicycle chain to connect them.

And V-belts are used less in this era, so it's just such a very simple belt.

As for the role of asphalt, it is used to increase the friction of the belt, because the belt is made of nylon or thread, and the friction is small, so asphalt must be rubbed on it.

Of course, as time goes by, these things gradually exit the stage of history, but in this era, these are still very advanced things.

Sending Wang Dazhu away, Wang An wandered around the county town, waiting for noon to find Wu Dong to pick up the car.

It must be said that Wang An was still a little excited to be driving the first real car of his reborn life.

Things like four-wheeled tractors and tractors are agricultural vehicles or mechanical tools. Driving them can be said to have no comfort at all and cannot be counted as cars.

As for the sidecar, although it has three wheels, no matter what, it is a motorcycle, and compared to a car, it is still a bit lacking.

Just as Wang An had been wandering for a long time and planned to find a place nearby to eat, he heard someone shout loudly:

"Big brother, big brother."

Wang An didn't take it seriously at first. It was mainly because people were coming and going on the street, who knew who was calling whom?

However, soon, the shouting was very close to Wang An.

Wang An looked in the direction of the sound subconsciously and saw Qiao Xiaohu riding a big 28 bicycle and arriving in front of Wang An. Immediately, Qiao Xiaohu braked, and he jumped off the bicycle.

As soon as he reached Wang An, Qiao Xiaohu smiled happily:

"Oh, big brother, why didn't you turn your head? I called you from far away."

Wang An smiled:

"I heard the call, but I didn't recognize it was you. What's going on? Are you wandering around on the street?"

Qiao Xiaohu scratched his head and said:

"I've been busy batching goods out since early morning, and I haven't eaten yet. I thought I'd wander around the market to see what to buy to eat. Hehehehe... When did you come, big brother? Why don't you go to my place to wander around?"

Wang An said very arrogantly:

"I came to pick up a car. I'll find my friend after he gets off work."

Qiao Xiaohu asked with curiosity:

"Pick up a car? What car are you picking up, big brother? I remember your family already has a lot of cars."

Wang An said with a satisfied face:

"Picking up a car, a jeep. Do you know? It's that style."

As he spoke, Wang An pointed to the distance, and a jeep happened to drive past in the distance.

Qiao Xiaohu looked in the direction Wang An pointed, turned his head, and said with envy:

"Big brother, you are really awesome. You are already buying a car."

Wang An waved his hand and said with humility:

"It's okay, just make do. Hahahaha..."

It was just that as soon as he finished speaking, Wang An couldn't help but laugh out loud himself.

Wang An laughed, and Qiao Xiaohu followed him. The two laughed out loud in full view of the public, causing passersby to look at them one after another.

After laughing, the two chatted about some useless things, and then Qiao Xiaohu said:

"Big brother, I asked about the pine nuts, mountain walnuts, and dried mushrooms you asked me about last time."

Wang An's eyes narrowed, and he asked:

"How is it? Is there a market for these things?"

Qiao Xiaohu said happily upon hearing this:

"There is a market, and the market is actually quite good. People in other places recognize our local mountain goods quite well. It's just that it's meaningless to have a little bit here and there. I've been thinking about discussing this with you for the past two days."

Wang An looked at his watch and said:

"It's time to eat. Let's go, let's find a place to drink, and then discuss this matter properly."

Regarding the fact that mountain goods could have a market outside, Wang An wasn't surprised at all. Because Wang An knew that as the policy further relaxed, there were many people who flipped mountain goods. In the later period, many companies were established specifically to flip mountain goods.

Soon, Wang An and Qiao Xiaohu were sitting in a dumpling restaurant that hadn't been open for long, ordered a few small dishes for drinking, and the two started chatting while eating.

He heard Wang An ask:

"Tell me, what ideas do you have now?"

Thanks to "Asking Purple O" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
