Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021 Selling a Bicycle_1 Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021 Selling a Bicycle_1 The next morning, as they were eating breakfast, Qiao Changshun awkwardly apologized to Qiao Xiaomai, promising that he would absolutely not help out the Tong Family anymore. Qiao Xiaomai merely responded with a faint ‘Hmm’, and the matter was considered past.

After breakfast, Qiao Xiaomai went to invite Fan Linong over.

Fan Linong, along with more than a dozen people, hurriedly loaded bicycles onto a horse cart and then headed to Anping Village.

Not long after this group set off, Hua Xiaofeng arrived.

Normally, it would be Zhuang Lühe’s duty to visit the Zhuang Family as a relative, but considering Zhuang Lühe was nearly at death’s door and Hua Xiaofeng was keen on getting on good terms with Qiao Xiaomai, she took the initiative to visit instead.

On the second and third days of the new year, it was customary to visit friends and relatives. That day, after having breakfast, quite a few people set off with baskets or carrying bags.

Visiting relatives at that time depended solely on walking. One had to set off early, otherwise, there was a good chance they would not arrive in time for lunch.

Tong Sanlang and Fan Linong arrived at Anping Village by horse cart during this time.

They parked the horse cart at the marketplace outside the village and Fan Linong struck the large bell.

The bell, which hadn’t rung for a long time, now resounded, drawing many people who came out to the marketplace, eager to see what was happening.

Upon reaching the entrance of the marketplace, the scene before them left them dumbfounded.

They saw more than a dozen brightly-dressed guards riding on wooden devices with two wheels, dashing back and forth on the roadside. Despite the dirt road, the speed at which they pedaled was swift, stirring up a breeze as they rushed by!

Villagers who had worked on manufacturing bicycles at the manor, recognizing the scenario, jubilantly waved their hands, “Sanlang, I’ll take one! I’m going to fetch the silver at home right now!”

Tong Sanlang, seated on the horse cart, heard the voice and looked over, nodding with a smile, “Pick one and ride it home.”

The man immediately responded with an ‘Hmm’, his gaze moving to the hundreds of bicycles.

Qiao Xiaomai had been strict about quality control at the time, absolutely not allowing any quality issues, so there wasn’t much to choose from. After trying one out and feeling quite satisfied, he called out to Tong Sanlang and cheerfully went home to get the silver.

The arrival of the bicycles was timely, or else he would have had to rely on his two legs to visit relatives that day.

A few dozen miles would have been utterly exhausting!

The man’s showy act of picking a bicycle and riding off on it left the others stunned. Once he was gone, they immediately inquired what this thing actually was.

Tong Sanlang stood up from the horse cart and faced the villagers, explaining, “This is called a bicycle. As you’ve seen, riding it is almost the same as driving an ox cart, one tael of silver each, first come, first served.”

As he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added another line, “It’s very easy to learn. A man can try a few times and he’ll get the hang of it.”

This thing was all about balance. Once you’ve mastered it, you can learn it quickly.

Suddenly, other villagers involved in the production of bicycles rushed over, immediately asking to purchase one.

As these people did not bring any silver, Tong Sanlang let them ride the bicycles back home to get it.

Over twenty people confidently rode away on their bicycles, making the villagers envious.

This gadget might be expensive, but it sure looked useful…

At this moment, the first villager who had asked for a bicycle returned, his wife seated on the rear and his son seated on the front crossbeam. He handed the silver to Tong Sanlang and then rode off with his wife and son to visit relatives, soon disappearing from sight.
