At that time, it was popular to say such a smooth slip: "Flying pigeons are fast, permanent and durable, riding a phoenix to fall in love, and the red flag can't be ridden for a week." The phoenix and permanence of the year were the Mercedes-Benz BMW of the bicycle. There are also flying pigeons, which were all luxury cars at that time. The famous bicycle of Shanghai is permanent, Phoenix. Flying pigeons in Tianjin. The red flag of Beijing. The size of Qingdao's golden deer. Changbai Mountain in Shenyang. Later three shots.
Before the seventies and eighties, it was mainly based on the ticket ** of the four major brand bicycles, Shanghai-made permanent, Phoenix brand, and suitable for load, single riding, partial support, women's various series and some special demand varieties, such as the postman riding the green double-shelf special car.
In addition, Tianjin produces flying pigeon and Hongqi brand bicycles, which have a single ride and multi-load series, and Henan Anyang produces flying eagle brand heavy-duty bicycles. Qingdao plus heavy Golden Deer Bicycle, the favorite of farmers, small traders and hawkers, can carry 500 pounds of things. The curved handlebar, the leather is solid, the back seat is large, and it can carry hundreds of pounds of things, only the front brake, and the inverted pedal brake. In the late 80s, many brands of bicycles were launched when looking for rice in the pot, such as the global brand of Shanxi Changzhi, the golden tiger brand of Jiaozuo, and the Zhongzhou brand bicycle produced by Xinxiang Limin Machinery Industry Company, which enlivened the market and supplemented the market demand.
The phoenix has a standing phoenix and a flying phoenix. Feifeng is a weighted bicycle, not a full-package chain box, most of Lifeng is a full-package chain box electroplated frame, which is a light bicycle! The Phoenix bike is the best of the 14 type, and the frame is also made of manganese steel.
The permanent bicycle is the best for the 13 type, and the frame is made of manganese steel; The unit price of these two cars seems to be more than 180 yuan. The Perpetual 28 bike is the best quality bike. Pure steel is not bad to ride, and it can also make 200 catties of rice; Permanently weighted bicycle farmers are favorites, flying pigeons, red flags are also OK, and Phoenix bicycles are rising stars.
The first bicycle in the family was a Phoenix Feifeng weighted bicycle bought by my father in the early 70s. The double-girder truck bicycle with front fork carries me and my brother to school every day, my brother sits on the back shelf, and I sit on the front beam sideways.
After participating in the work, I bought a 26-inch Wuyang bicycle more than half a year later, and I was very lazy to maintain, and the wheel wire rusted for more than a year, which is too far from someone else's Phoenix permanent ten or eight years without rust. Full of childhood memories. The car made a big effort, and it reminded me of my parents who are now full of gray hair. Sad. At that time, the things were good, and Feifeng rode for 30 years. Personally, I think that people in that era were all responsible, people were real, not floating, not floating, not impetuous. That's why we can produce our own national brand.
It turns out that I remember that someone installed a lamp in front of the bicycle, and I don't know where the electricity comes from, and some people say that it is the principle of using friction to start electricity. We don't know. There are also bicycles that also have a driving license.
I remember that my salary at that time was thirty-eight yuan, and the salary of an ordinary worker at that time was five months. And also for tickets. At that time, the Phoenix full-chain box bicycle was 180 yuan, which was not something that could be bought with money.
In the seventies and eighties, the most brand of bicycles is the Phoenix brand parallel bar full chain cover with friction lamp small bicycle, to pay from Hong Kong and Macao to pick up the goods, no overseas Chinese relations with foreign currency to buy, can only ** from the car market with about 250 yuan yuan to buy this most brand of Phoenix brand parallel bars bicycle.
Wages at that time: In those days, our production team was a dime, less than a pound of rice a day, farmers' wages to the year-end dividend settlement, a good production team only two cents a day to three cents a working day, each labor force only earned about 80 to 100 yuan a year. In the 60s and 70s, peasants generally paid about 1 cent a day, and in the 80s, rural people did odd jobs for only about 1 yuan a day. Do today's young people know?
At that time, one of our production brigades (now called village committees) did not have one or two bicycles, and in the 70s, workers' wages were generally 31$8 to $43$5, or a little more or less. Nowadays, most workers are about 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan, which is 100 times. Therefore, according to the salary comparison, 180 yuan at that time, a bicycle is equivalent to 18,000 yuan now.
Prices at the time: The situation at the time! Let's talk about the price at that time, soy sauce is a dime and a catty, vinegar is a dime and a catty, and you can also exchange an egg for half a catty of vinegar. Salt is a dime and a pound. **Ye cigarettes two cents and five boxes of cigarettes, seven cents of thrifty cigarettes in a box, Xuchang cigarettes two cents and five cents a box, the most expensive is the front door, five cents a box. But I remember that the rice seems to be o, 138 yuan a catty, and 50 catties of flour 8,95 yuan! Pork 077 yuan, mutton 057 yuan, pork seems to be 075 a pound, pig head, pig intestines 033 yuan a catty, but you have to get up early to line up to buy, generally the first night with a basket, poke the bricks to stand in line, at night cold others stand in line with the basket poke the fire on the fire, the next day others get up early in the morning to see that the standing line things are not two cents per catty! Hairtail 029 yuan a catty! Almost no one eats it!
Compare the price of pork in the seventies: pork in the seventies was 077 yuan. 180 yuan can buy 230 pounds of pork. Now the price of pork is about 16 yuan per catty, and 180 yuan can only buy 11 catties. Therefore, according to the difference of 20 times the difference of pork, 180 yuan that year is equivalent to 3600 yuan.
An era has its glorious historical contributions, and the bicycle represents the level at that time, the beginning of China's industrialization. Impressed by the people, the Phoenix brand and the permanent brand were all qualified brands at that time. In particular, the 28 large chain sleeve was very popular with the people, and the bicycle was much more expensive than now in terms of personal economic income, and the quality was better than one or two points, and it was not a problem to ride for more than ten years.
