But those who go out are soon back, and those who come back soon.

"Ye Lin, there is a gorilla outside."

After entering the house, Uncle Jiang said to Ye Lin in panic.

"Gorilla? What gorilla?"

Ye Lin was very confused. This place was in the city, and it was close to Tiananmen Square. How could a gorilla run here?

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

"Puff!" Ye Lin almost choked to death by saliva.

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

He quickly stood up and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, Ye Lin was stunned for a moment.

Because he saw a foreigner who had a very strong hair style. Not only were his hands and arms full of hair, but he even had the same face.

No wonder Uncle Jiang said he was a gorilla, and it cannot be blamed for Uncle Jiang, because he had never seen a foreigner at all.

Nowadays, this era is not like later generations. Foreigners can be seen everywhere. In this era, there were very few foreigners, even in the imperial capital.

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

In the 1960s, people's lives were very difficult and they rarely had the opportunity to go out for a trip.

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

As early as five or six years, overseas Chinese and Hong Kong and Macao compatriots returned to China to visit their relatives and traveled more and more, and overseas Chinese travel service agencies were established in major cities across the country.

With the development of national diplomatic activities, in the past 56 and 57 years, China International Travel Agency has established business contacts with tourism institutions in Russians, Eastern Europe, Mongolia, and twenty-three Western countries.

Begin to receive foreign tourists at their own expense.

In the early stage, such as in the 1957, Russians and tourists from Eastern European countries accounted for more than 95% of the total.

It was not until the mid-1960s, 65 years, or this year that it was mainly Western tourists, accounting for more than 80% of the total.

However, the total number of foreign tourists entering the country each year is only four or five thousand. You should know that this refers to the whole country, not only the imperial capital.

Moreover, even if these foreigners come to China, most of them are in the south. Let’s put it this way, there will definitely be no more than two hundred foreigners in the imperial capital in the past year.

What does two hundred people mean? There is no concept at all. Even if these two hundred people come to the imperial capital at the same time and appear on the street at the same time, what is that?

For the imperial capital with a population of millions, there are too few 200 people, not to mention that these 200 people are still in the past year.

In other words, it is normal that a foreigner came in almost two days, and it is not until I saw him.

On November 2, 1964, the State Tourism Administration held its first tourism work conference.

It was finally confirmed that 8,000 people were received throughout the year in 1965, and by 1969, it reached 45,000 people. In five years, it could bring 43 million US dollars in income to the country.

And this year is the first year of confirmation of reception, so the imperial capital can only see foreigners.

"hello!"

"Hello! Is there anything that can help you?" Ye Lin asked the gorilla in English.

Uncle Jiang is a gorilla, the gorilla, so Ye Lin also calls the other gorilla.

"Oh Maiga, I finally met someone who can communicate with me." The gorilla patted his head and said.

"Hello, my name is Ken Thorne. I'm from the American country. My bicycle is broken. Can you help me fix it?"

"Of course there is no problem. I just repair the bicycle. Let me see it first."

"k!" Ken Thorne made a gesture.

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

Ken Thorne shrugged and said, "I fell down and then it became like this."

Bicycles are rare in China, but they can be said to be very common abroad. Not to mention bicycles, cycling is very common.

Ken Thorne certainly knew what was wrong with his bike.

"The front fork is broken, I need to change the front fork."

“k!k!”

"Go in and warm up first!"

"k! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

When Ye Lin was talking to Ken Thorne, Uncle Jiang and his son and daughter-in-law were already shocked. They never expected that Ye Lin would actually say what this gorilla said.

But at this time, none of the three people came 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."

"Foreign...foreigners?"

"Yes, foreigners, they are just more hairy and are not gorillas."

"Oh! That's it! I get it, I'll pour tea now."

Fortunately, Ken Thorne doesn’t know how to speak Chinese, otherwise he would not know what he would think when he heard the conversation between Ye Lin and Uncle Jiang.

"Keep, sit down and have some tea first, I'll repair it for you now."

"Three grams of oil!"

"You're welcome."

Uncle Jiang made a cup of tea for Ken Thorne. Of course it was not Ye Lin’s space tea. Can anyone drink Ye Lin’s space tea? Of course it is not.

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

"Well!"

"He said thank you!" Ye Lin translated to Uncle Jiang.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

It was just a change to a front fork, which was nothing for Ye Lin. It took only ten minutes before and Ye Lin changed it.

When changing the front fork, Ye Lin also chatted with Ken Thorne for a few words before he found out that Ken Thorne was here for a trip.

The bicycle he rode was provided to him by a travel service agency. There is no way, even bicycles are not popular in China, let alone riding a bicycle.

Of course, Ken Thorne can also take the bus, but in that case, what else can he do? It's like a service company borrowing a bicycle.

It is said that it snows today and he can't come out, but his time is limited and he will leave after a few days. So he rode his bicycle out.

Unexpectedly, I fell down as soon as I arrived at Tiananmen Square and broke the front fork of the bicycle.

Of course, Ye Lin believed that it was not broken, it was probably because Ken Thorne was quite big and smashed it when he fell.

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

Ken Thorne came over and tried it, and said to Ye Lin: "k! How much does three grams of oil cost?"

“Twenty-five.”

Ye Lin did not ask for more money just because the other party was a foreigner. In fact, it was not that he didn't want to ask for more, but that he couldn't. There was no way. After Ken Thorne went back, he would definitely tell the people in the service club.

If the service staff knows that he has asked for more money, he will probably come to him.

Because those people regard these foreigners as superiors!

Isn’t there that sentence! A first-class foreigner second-class official.

Ye Lin doesn’t want to cause trouble, at least he doesn’t want to do it now, so he can’t say it in the future.

"Twenty-five, right? Can I just have foreign exchange bills here?"

"sure."

Ken Thorne took out his wallet, handed Ye Lin two foreign exchange bills of ten yuan and five yuan in rural areas.

"There are too many, so I can't use that much."

"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a tip."

Tips have a history in China. In the past, tips were also called rewards.

But in the 1960s, especially in the 1960s when "fighting private criticism and revisionism", even if someone gave it, who would be willing to tip it? The main reason is that no one dared to collect it.

But Ye Lin is definitely an exception, because he knew that Ken Thorne would not say that he would give a tip, and that would be fine.

This is not to say that Ye Lin likes to take advantage of this little thing, and does not take advantage of the bastard.

What's more, it's the cheapest thing for the foreigners, and it's a foreign exchange bill, which is exactly what Ye Lin needs.

"Three grams of oil."

"You're welcome, I thank you too. Thank you for helping me fix my bicycle and treat me to tea, Chinese tea, OK." Ken Thorne gave Ye Lin a thumbs up.

Ken Thorne left. After Ken Thorne left, Uncle Jiang looked at Ye Lin and asked, "Ye Lin, how could you speak foreign language?"
