Chapter 150 Three cars obtained and modified
Old Man Fu parked his bicycle and led Lin Sanqi towards Dongchaiyuan. It was dark and there were no street lights.
Lin Sanqi was a little scared, and she thought about whether those unjust ghosts in the ancient wealthy compounds would float over in the middle of the night.
Old Man Fu burst out laughing when he saw Lin Sanqi's appearance:
"Boy, are you brave? Don't worry, I brought you here just to show you my car, take a look!"
After Old Man Fu finished speaking, he pulled the light cord, and Lin Sanqi discovered that the street along Dongchaiyuan was designed as a garage, and under the dim light, there were five cars parked there quietly.
Lin Sanqi suddenly realized: "Hey, Uncle Fu, you are really a great man. You still have so many treasures hidden at home?"
Fu Zuo didn't take it seriously, pointed to a few cars and said:
"I don't know much about cars. Drivers used to take care of them. This one is called Cadillac, this one is called Ford, and this one is called Pontiac. They are all American brands. I don't know how to drive either. Now it’s just eating ashes.”
Fortunately, Lin Sanqi is not a car enthusiast, otherwise he would have to get them all back now. This kind of classic car is worth a lot of money.
Old Man Fu pointed to a dilapidated jeep in the corner and said:
"No, that's a Shanghai 58 Jeep. When the public-private partnership was established, the factory gave it to me, the private owner. They said it would be bad for me to drive an American car, so I had to drive a domestic car. But this jeep is worse than a rickshaw. Shocking That's right, I don't like sitting.
There are so many cars, Lin Xiaozi, don’t you want to buy a car? Which one do you like? ”
Lin Sanqi took a fancy to the dilapidated jeep in the corner at a glance, but didn't take a second look at the cars:
"Uncle Fu, do you really want to sell your car? Haha, then I'm here. I want this jeep, but can it still be driven?"
Old man Fu Zuo is a little strange:
"Hey, you don't want a good car, but a shabby car? Let me tell you, this Jeep used to be driven for half a month and repaired for half a month. I was broke down on the road so many times, and I was very depressed.
If you drive to another place and there is no place to repair the car on the way, you will really be in trouble with the heavens and the earth. ”
Lin Sanqi circled the jeep several times and touched it. It was all covered in dust. It had obviously not been driven for several years and it was probably choked to start.
But Lin Sanqi had something in mind. In later generations, there was a kind of car fun called "modification". He also knew that cars these days were unreliable, so he had already thought that all he needed was the shell of the car, and all the interior had been modified.
"It's okay, Uncle Fu. Even if you gave me those cars for free, I wouldn't dare drive them on the street. They're too high-profile, so I'll just get this broken jeep."
Old Man Fu was also happy: "Okay, if you want to break the car, then break the car. By the way, you also want a big truck. Come on, I have one at home too."
Lin Sanqi clicked her tongue after hearing this. In an era when ordinary people couldn't afford bicycles, the old man's house was like a car show. Did he have all kinds of cars?
Passing through the garage in the east courtyard, there was indeed a large truck parked near the wall.
"Nao, this is a large Jiefang brand truck. It used to transport goods for our family. Later, my family fell into decline and this truck had no use. It has been sitting in the corner. It is a waste to sit idle for so many years. Do you want it? ? Take it if you want it!”
Lin Sanqi jumped on the car to take a look, then opened the door and felt it for a while. The appearance of the car was still intact, and that was enough.
"Uncle Fu, even if this truck is usable, it needs to be overhauled. Okay, I don't have anywhere to buy a car anyway, so I will keep this big truck."
Old Man Fu was happy when he heard this. He thought that if he just sold two broken cars, they would be able to exchange them for something good.
"Boy Lin, this, this, cars are a good thing nowadays..."
Lin Sanqi quickly interrupted:
"Uncle Fu, you yourself know what's going on with your two cars, so we don't have to argue with each other. I'll drive whatever you want and I'll eat it. If I can't eat it, I'll go find a solution elsewhere."< br>
Old Man Fu rolled his eyes for a long time before he said in embarrassment:
"Boy Lin, don't blame me. There are so many people in my family to support, and now it's too difficult to just sit back and have nothing. So I don't want money, I want food.
In this way, you give me a ton of flour, and get me 200 kilograms of pork, and these two cars... Oh no, I will give you three cars, and you can pick out a small car. How about that? ”
After saying that, Old Man Fu looked at Lin Sanqi pitifully, fearing that this boy would refuse.
2,000 kilograms of flour and 200 kilograms of pork. In the special era of 1959, it was like a lion's mouth.
To put it bluntly, the yellow/flower/eldest/girlfriend/daughter can trade in dozens of them, but now she needs to trade in three junk cars?
But for time traveler Lin Sanqi, a small matter of a few thousand yuan, still in 2023 yuan, can solve his big trouble.
Lin Sanqi was already overjoyed, but on the surface she still pretended to be embarrassed:
"Uncle Fu, your request is a bit high, okay, but I will give you two points of grain and pork. I can't get so much at once."
Fu Zuo thought Lin Sanqi would bargain, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately, and he was overjoyed:
"No problem, Mr. Lin, you are angry, and I can't care about it. You can drive the car away at any time. You can give half of the food first, and you can give me the remaining half during the Chinese New Year."
Lin Sanqi chuckled: "Then it's settled." "A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"
The two sides agreed on a deal, and Lin Sanqi was ready to go home. Before leaving, he looked back at the dark palace of the former Qing prince.
"Uncle Fu, we have been friends for a long time. If you believe me, tomorrow you can hand over your palace to the country and change it to a small house."
Fu Zuo frowned when he heard this: "Boy Lin, what news have you heard?"
Lin Sanqi shrugged: "There's no news. It's up to you whether you want to or not. I'm just kindly reminding you."
These words made Old Fu a little confused. He didn't know when Lin Sanqi would leave...
The next day, Lin Sanqi asked the head of the logistics department for help and found three drivers and auto mechanics who came to Fu's house.
After some inspections, the jeep was still able to drive. The large Jiefang truck was repaired for a long time and could barely be driven after adding gasoline. However, the veteran driver judged that it could not drive a long distance.
In the end, Lin Sanqi chose a 1939 Cadillac Wood Extended Edition sedan, which was black in color. This was Old Man Fu's own promise to choose any car as an extra, so it wouldn't be free of charge.
What's it like to drive this car? It's like a spy movie from the Republic of China, except that there is a female spy Wang Manchun in the car.
A jeep, a car, and a big truck, Lin Sanqi didn't transport them back to the hospital. There were so many people in the unit that it was hard to hide things.
Fortunately, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has several exclusive warehouses at the train station, and the driver drove all three cars to this warehouse.
When the car was put into storage, a driver named Lin Sanqi gave him 20 kilograms of rice as a reward.
The driver deliberately did not select employees from our hospital. They were all borrowed from the state-owned auto repair shop by the general section chief. They only care about getting paid and don't care what happened to your car.
Besides, the head of the general department hired the driver in the name of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The driver only knew that it was the private car of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. How did he know that it was Lin Sanqi's personal car?
So I took the white rice and left happily.
The only person who knew the inside story was the head of the department.
But when the whole section chief received 100 kilograms of rice and Lin Sanqi's promise to move the car within two days, the whole section chief decided to keep this secret in his stomach and directly handed the warehouse key to Lin San. seven.
That night, Lin Sanqi passed through the space gate and drove away the three classic cars, truly making it invisible.
The next day, Lin Sanqi borrowed the big truck from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital where someone had died, and personally delivered 1,000 kilograms of flour and 100 kilograms of pork to Old Man Fu's house...
In 2023, there is a vacant lot in the warehouse area of Shilou Village.
Lin Dongdong looked at the three classic cars in front of him and really doubted his eyes, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter:
"Qizai, where did your classic Cadillac Wood come from? Old mother Diurei, how can it still be driven? This car is at least 80 years old. It's a miracle. Has it been modified? Oh my, it's still the original Factory original paint, too exaggerated? ”
Lin Dongdong is the seventh eldest son in the family. His family owns a large auto repair shop and also undertakes the business of modifying cars.
Seeing the excited clan brother jumping up and down, Lin Sanqi reminded him silently:
"Brother Dong, the key things here are this Jiefang brand truck and this Shanghai brand jeep. This Cadillac classic car is not urgent and I won't need it for a while."
After hearing this, Lin Dongdong glanced at Lin Sanqi with disdain:
"Qizai, you are really a layman and don't understand. Your Cadillac Wood is a treasure. It is so completely preserved and has original parts and even the paint. There is probably no second car in the world. It’s priceless.”
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that this car was just a supplement. No matter how valuable it was, how could it be worth it?
"Brother Dong, since you like this classic Cadillac car, tell me how much I will sell it to you. You can go home and enjoy it slowly. Now I just ask you to help me modify the big truck and jeep. I’m in a hurry to use it.”
Lin Dongdong was overjoyed after hearing this:
"Qizai, are you serious? Did you sell this classic car to me? Haha, don't regret it. My brother won't treat you badly. I'll take this car for 3 million."
Lin Sanqi couldn't understand the mental state of these car fans, just like Lin Dongdong couldn't understand why this clan member likes shabby cars.
"Okay, okay, you can drive away with 3 million, and you can have fun as you like."
Lin Dongdong was afraid that Lin Sanqi would regret it, so he quickly called the old man next door, Lin Qinming, to be a witness, and then quickly transferred 3 million to Lin Sanqi's bank card.
The satisfied Lin Dongdong asked happily:
"Tell me, how are you going to modify these two broken cars? Oh my god, no one wants to pick this car up on the road. What do you think?"
