the next day.

Early in the morning.

Fang Qiang rode his old-fashioned bicycle to Fang Hao's house to meet up.

After selling all the seafood yesterday.

The two had already agreed on a specific time.

Let's head to the city together today.

Let's go!

"Let's go to the bus station in town first."

Fang Hao spoke up directly.

Their task today is to go to the city and see how much this golden pearl can be sold for.

As for whether it will be a small profit or a big one?

That depends on the market situation!

"it is good."

Fang Qiang nodded as well.

Although she had reservations about what Fang Hao said, she was still willing to accompany him to the county town.

If this golden pearl is a good thing!

They definitely have to go to the city to sell them.

Nobody in the town recognizes its value.

Ordinary people wouldn't be willing to spend money on a pearl; they'd rather save the money to buy food.

"Wife!"

"Sit tight..."

Fang Hao called out to Song Yaxin on the back seat, and only started pedaling after making sure she was seated properly.

Riding a bicycle with someone on the back is quite tiring; I just wanted to take her out to see the world and build our relationship.

Song Yaxin has never left the area of ​​Haisha Town in her entire life, let alone other places.

It's a good opportunity to visit my sister-in-law.

Then.

Three people and two cars.

We headed straight to the town's bus station.

We must hurry and catch the bus.

These days, the only way to get to the county is by bus, a journey of fifty or sixty kilometers. If you were to ride a bicycle, you'd probably have to pedal until you were exhausted.

More than an hour later.

Haisha Town, bus station.

"Brother Hao."

"I've never been to the city."

-

"Is there anything I should be aware of? Please let me know in advance."

While waiting for the bus.

Fang Qiang asked, still somewhat nervously.

After all, I've only ever been to the town; I've only ever heard people talk about the county and the city.

I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep at all.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There's nothing to be careful about.

"Actually, the city is just a bit taller and the shops are more bustling and lively—"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

He had been there a few times in his previous life.

I remember the first time I left Haisha Town was when I was almost twenty-five years old, and I was very excited at that time.

It was his first time riding a bus, and he was incredibly excited and happy watching it drive along the road.

These days even motorcycles are a rarity!

Therefore, one can imagine what level of status cars and small cars belong to.

It's usually not an important matter.

People in rural areas don't need to make a special trip to the city.

The fares aren't cheap.

"The car is here!"

While the three were chatting idly.

A white and blue minibus arrived.

"Quick, get in the car!"

"There won't be any seats left later—"

As Fang Hao spoke, he pulled Song Yaxin toward the car door, saying that if they were too slow, there might not be any seats left.

These days, getting on a bus is all about squeezing in!

There was absolutely no refusal to pick up passengers.

The bus stops whenever someone waves, allowing passengers to get on and off at any time; all you need to do is shout to the driver or the ticket collector.

Most importantly, there is only one train per day.

Go down in the morning and come back in the afternoon. If you miss it, you'll have to find another way.

Unlike the time shuttle buses of later generations that run every hour regardless of whether there are passengers, there is no comparison at all.

"Wife!"

"Sitting here, near the front and the window, makes it less likely to get carsick."

After getting on the bus.

Fang Hao immediately found a seat near the front and by the window for Song Yaxin.

If you sit in the back of the vehicle, the bumpy ride might make you carsick, so if there are seats available, you should choose a better one.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"This vehicle is really great! It can move by itself without anyone pedaling..."

Fang Qiang was also very curious.

His eyes kept scanning the inside of the car.

This was the first time he had ever ridden in a car.

Song Yaxin, who was next to her, was also staring out the car window, feeling quite curious.

It's so refreshing!

"Cars are definitely good things."

"If I ever make money and buy a car, that'll be truly impressive. Driving it back to the village, even my great-grandfather will praise me, and I'll always be the first to eat at the table—that'll be so prestigious..."

Fang Hao said with a smile.

There were still very few cars back then.

In rural areas, bicycles are the primary mode of transportation.

A small number of motorcycles and cars are something that many people envy.

If there were a car!

That's absolutely comparable to a Rolls-Royce.

'

Listening to Fang Hao's words.

Fang Qiang and Song Yaxin both felt it was a bit far-fetched and unrealistic; cars were something that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.

Even the cheapest Xiali costs 100,000.

A decent Santana costs over 100,000 yuan.

Even if a rural family didn't eat or drink, it would take them countless years to save up enough money.

This is similar to a Rolls-Royce.

If you're not born, you're truly gone.

"Buy the tickets!"

"Where do I get off?"

soon.

The car started.

A middle-aged woman immediately started collecting fares, carrying a bag containing bills and cash.

"To the county town bus station."

"Three people!"

Fang Hao took out ten yuan directly.

These days, you need to pay in cash to buy train tickets.

There was no QR code scanning or anything like that.

"Alright!"

"I'll find you to go with me."

The middle-aged woman immediately took the money.

Then he quickly pulled a dollar out of his bag.

They even tore up three small paper tickets!

"Brother Hao."

"Three yuan for a single trip? My goodness, that's almost a day's income—"

Fang Qiang was also somewhat shocked.

I didn't expect the train ticket to be so expensive.

He originally thought it was just one or two dollars.

"Um."

"It used to be two yuan, then it went up to two yuan and fifty cents, and now it's gone straight to three yuan!"

Fang Hao nodded and said.

This bus is a privately owned minibus.

It's cheaper if it's state-owned.

"I wish I hadn't come."

"That way we can save six yuan—"

Fang Qiang muttered to himself.

You should know that six yuan can buy pork for two or three years and feed you to your heart's content.

Upon hearing his words...

Song Yaxin also frowned slightly.

It's quite obvious that some people agree with this statement.

It costs money!

"alright!"

"Money can be earned back after it's spent!"

"Besides, we're going to the city to earn money today, so we have to pay for the transportation."

Fang Hao shook his head and said.

Because these golden pearls are really hard to sell outside of the city, this travel expense is definitely unavoidable.

Treat this as a trip to the city for fun!

"All right!"

"Hopefully, this golden pearl will fetch a good price, so we don't lose money."

Hearing Fang Hao say that...

Fang Qiang nodded as well.

How much can this golden pearl sell for now?

It is currently unknown.

The fare for three people per trip is nine yuan.

It cost eighteen yuan for two round trips.

after that.

During the three people's casual conversation.

The bus maintained a slow speed on the road, heading towards Mingzhu County, which was dozens of kilometers away.

It's about a two-hour drive.

If many passengers get on and off along the way, it may take even longer.

This was the transportation situation in the 1990s.

The road infrastructure is inadequate.

There are not many buses.
