But the ones who go out are fast, and the ones who come back are fast.

"Ye Lin, there's a gorilla outside. ”

Uncle Jiang said to Ye Lin in a panic after entering the house.

"Gorilla? What gorilla?"

Ye Lin was very confused, this is a city, and it is next to **, how can there be a gorilla running here.

"Ye Lin, what I said is true, and the gorilla is still pushing a bicycle. ”

"Poof!" Ye Lin almost choked to death from saliva.

Although he didn't know what was going on, when he heard Uncle Jiang say that the gorilla was pushing a bicycle, Ye Lin felt that something was wrong.

Hurriedly stood up and walked out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Ye Lin was stunned for a moment.

Because he saw a gringo, this gringo hair was very vigorous, not only on his hands and arms, but also on his face.

No wonder Uncle Jiang said that he was a gorilla, and Uncle Jiang couldn't be blamed either, because he hadn't seen a foreigner at all.

It is not like the later generations, where foreigners can be seen everywhere, and in this era, there are very few gringos, even Dì Dū.

Ye Lin has been in this era for so many years, and today is the first time he has seen a gringo.

In the sixties, the people lived a very difficult life, and there were few opportunities to travel.

The concept of tourism is basically limited to receiving guests from outside.

As early as five or six years, the number of overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots returning to China to visit relatives and travel has become increasingly large, and overseas Chinese travel service agencies have been established in major cities across the country.

With the development of national diplomatic activities, in five or six years, China International Travel Service has established business contacts with tourism agencies in Laomaozi, Eastern Europe, Mongolia and 23 Western countries.

Started accepting foreign tourists at their own expense.

In the early stage, such as five or seven years, Lao Maozi, tourists from Eastern European countries accounted for more than 95 percent of the total.

It was not until the mid-sixties, '65, that is, this year, that it changed to a predominantly Western tourist, accounting for more than 80 percent of the total.

However, the total number of foreign tourists entering the country each year is only four or five thousand, and you must know that this is talking about the whole country, not just Dì Dū.

Moreover, even if these gringos come to China, most of them are in the south, so let's say, there will definitely be no more than two hundred gringos in Dì Dū in a year.

What is the concept of 200 people, there is no concept at all, even if these 200 people come to DìDū at the same time and appear on the street at the same time, then what is it.

For Dì Dū, which has a population of several million, 200 people is too little, not to mention that 200 people are still a year old.

In other words, it took almost two days for a gringo to come, and it was normal not to see it.

On November 2, 64, the State Tourism Administration held the first tourism work conference.

In the end, it was determined that 8,000 people would be received in 65 years, and 45,000 people would be received in 69 years, and that in five years, it would bring 43 million dollars in revenue to the state.

And this year is the first year that the reception is confirmed, so Dì Dū can see the foreigner.

"Hello!"

"Hello, how can I help you?" Ye Lin asked the gorilla in English.

Uncle Jiang's gorilla, gorilla's, let Ye Lin also call each other gorilla.

"Oh Maga, I've finally met someone to talk to. The gorilla patted his head and said.

"Hello, my name is Ken Thorne, I'm from the United States, my bike is broken, can you fix it for me?"

"Of course, no problem, I'm a bike repairer, let me see it first. ”

"OK!" Ken Thorne gestured.

Ye Lin looked over and found that the fork was broken, so he asked, "Ken Thorne, how did you get this?"

Ken Thorne shrugged his shoulders and said, "I fell, and then it became like this." ”

Bicycles are a rare thing in China, but in foreign countries, it can be said that they have become very common, not to mention bicycles, cycling is very common.

Ken Thorne certainly knew something was wrong with his bike.

"The fork was broken and I needed to change it. ”

“OK！OK！”

"Let's go warm up first!"

"OK! Thank you!"

"You're welcome. ”

When Ye Lin and Ken Thorne were talking, Uncle Jiang and his son and daughter-in-law were already stunned, they never thought that Ye Lin would say what this gorilla said.

However, at this time, none of the three people came over to ask Ye Lin.

Just standing quietly on the side, Ye Lin pushed the bicycle into the house and brought Ken Thorne into the house.

"Uncle Jiang, pour a cup of tea for this foreign friend. ”

"Outside...... Foreigners?"

"Yes, foreigner, it's just that the hair system is more developed, not a gorilla. ”

"Oh! I know, I'm going to pour tea. ”

Fortunately, this Ken Thorne does not know Chinese, otherwise I don't know what to think when I hear the conversation between Ye Lin and Uncle Jiang.

"Ken, you sit down and drink some tea first, and I'll fix it for you. ”

"Three grams of oil!"

"You're welcome. ”

Uncle Jiang made Ken Thorne a cup of tea, of course it wasn't Ye Lin's space tea, Ye Lin's space tea could be drunk by anyone? Of course not.

"Three grams of oil!" said Ken Thorne to Uncle Jiang.

"Ugh!"

"He said thank you!" Ye Lin translated a sentence for Uncle Jiang.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. ”

It's just a change of fork, which is not a matter at all for Ye Lin, and it only takes about ten minutes before and after, and Ye Lin will change it.

When changing the fork, Ye Lin also chatted with Ken Thorne for a few words, only to know that this Ken Thorne was here for a tour.

The bicycle he was riding was provided to him by a travel service, and there was no way, there was no way to even popularize bicycles in China, let alone ride bicycles.

Of course, Ken Thorne can also take the bus, but in that case, what else is he playing, no, it's like the service company borrowed a bicycle.

It was said that it was snowing today, and he could not come out, but his time was limited, and he had to leave in a few days, so he came out on his bicycle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the ** square, I fell and broke the bicycle fork.

Of course, Ye Lin didn't think it was broken, it was probably because this Ken Thorne was relatively big and smashed it when he fell.

"Okay, you try. Ye Lin patted the bicycle and said to Ken Thorne.

Ken Thorne came over and tried it and said to Ye Lin, "OK! Three grams of oil, how much is it?"

"Twenty-five. ”

Ye Lin didn't ask for more money just because the other party was a gringo, in fact, it wasn't that he didn't want more, but he couldn't, there was no way, after Ken Thorne went back, he would definitely say it to the people in the service agency.

If you let the people at the service agency know that he has asked for more money, they are likely to come to the door.

Because those people regard these foreigners as superior people!

Isn't there such a saying? A first-class foreigner and a second-class official.

Ye Lin didn't want to make trouble, at least not now, and he wouldn't be able to say it in the future.

"Twenty-five, right? I've got all the forex rolls here, okay?"

"Absolutely. ”

Ken Thorne took out his wallet and handed Ye Lin two ten-yuan and five-dollar foreign exchange rolls from the countryside.

"It's too much, it's not so much. ”

"It's okay, more than that's a tip. ”

Tipping also has a history in China, and in the past, tipping was also called tipping.

However, in the 60's New China, especially in the 60's when "selfishness was criticized," even if someone gave it, who would be willing to take a tip? The main reason was that no one dared to accept it.

But Ye Lin is definitely an exception, because he knows that Ken Thorne will not say that he tipped him, in that case, it will be fine.

This is not to say that Ye Lin likes to be greedy for this little advantage, and he does not take advantage of the cheapness.

What's more, it's a gringo's cheapness, and it's a foreign exchange roll, which is exactly what Ye Lin needs.

"Three grams of oil. ”

"You're welcome, I thank you, thank you for helping me fix my bike, and invite me to tea, Chinese tea, okay. Ken Thorne gave Ye Lin a thumbs up.

Ken Thorne left, and after Ken Thorne left, Uncle Jiang looked at Ye Lin and asked, "Ye Lin, why do you speak foreign languages?"

"Uncle Jiang, have you forgotten what my mother did?"

"Uh! yes! Your mom is a teacher, and you learned this from your mom. ”

"Yes!"

Uncle Jiang nodded, and asked again, "Ye Lin, what kind of money did that gringo give you just now?"

"Uncle Jiang, this is called foreign exchange rolls, if you have such money in the future, you will accept it. ”

"Forex rolls?"

"Yes, foreign exchange rolls, this is also money, and it is worth more than our money. ”

In the future, there will be more and more gringos, and it seems that there will be people who come to repair bicycles, so Ye Lin arranged for Uncle Jiang.

"Worth more than our money?"

"Yes, in fact, this is also our money, it was the gringos who exchanged their money with our country, and this ten yuan is equivalent to fifteen yuan. ”

"Ah, ten dollars is equivalent to fifteen of us, why?"

"Uh!" Ye Lin didn't know how to answer Uncle Jiang.

I didn't expect Uncle Jiang to be an angry young man.

However, Ye Lin still said: "Uncle Jiang, because other people's money is originally worth more than ours, let's put it this way! ”

"In the same way, if they exchange our money for their money, it is also a piece of five for a piece, which is called the exchange rate. ”

Ye Lin knew that even if he talked to Uncle Jiang about the exchange rate, Uncle Jiang would not understand.

"Ye Lin, I don't understand what you're talking about, I just want to know why their money is worth more than ours. ”

Uncle Jiang's question was very tricky, Ye Lin thought for a while and said, "Uncle Jiang, I can't explain this to you, in fact, there are still many countries whose money is not as valuable as our country's money." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, such as the country of little devils, such as the country of sticks. ”

Uncle Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't understand, since it's all money, why it's different, it's all the same, you are more valuable than me, I am more valuable than you, how troublesome!"

Is it troublesome? Ye Lin asked himself in his heart, not to mention, it was really troublesome, if the whole world was one for one, maybe it would really reduce a lot of trouble.

Of course, there is also a premise here, that is, the face value of money all over the world is the same.
