Chapter 116 Ready to go
After Lin Hongfei came back, Wu Erhan told the story of Chen Wanshun and his wife.
Lin Hongfei sneered and said, "This is really not treating my daughter as a human being, but purely as a commodity for money."
"Second brother, tell Tiger one more time, let him deal with little pockmarked Liu severely."
"His father, Mazi Liu, made me suffer from hamstrings, so I dare not trafficker anymore. This little Mazi Liu is still young, and he has inherited his father's business."
"It's fucking hereditary!"
After this episode, Chechangzi finally survived, and Chen Wanshun and his wife did not dare to make trouble again.
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Lin Hongfei prepared to pack his bags and leave his hometown.
He planned to go to Zhou Village first, and discuss with the shopkeeper Chen about opening a dyeing factory. After the matter was almost done, he went straight to report to the military academy.
······
"Sign in successfully."
"Get a gold-studded Fox double-barreled shotgun with 1 rounds of bullets!"
"I'll go, good stuff!"
Early in the morning, after Lin Hongfei woke up from his sleep, he got a valuable double-barreled shotgun.
This gold-studded Fox shotgun has an extraordinary origin and was specially customized for the old President Roosevelt of the Lighthouse Country. It was sold at a price of 86 US dollars in later generations.
After taking it out and playing with it, Lin Hongfei showed a satisfied expression.
At this time, in a corner of his room, there were several suitcases piled up. After he finished washing, several drivers came in to help him carry the luggage into the car.
Today was the day when Lin Hongfei left for Lu Province. Sister-in-law Qin and Xiaomeizi got up early to make noodles, chop stuffing, and make dumplings for Lin Hongfei and others.
Just bite the meatball dumplings just out of the pan, and the hot gravy will come out, dipped in the black vinegar in the bowl, bite off half a garlic clove, and put the cooled meatball dumplings into your mouth As soon as it is released, the taste of hot and sour oil explodes in the mouth immediately.
"Sister-in-law, are there any vegetarian ones? I want to eat vegetarian dumplings!" Lu Xiwa shouted at Qin's sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Qin brought out a pot of hot dumplings just out of the pan, and said with a smile, "When you eat buns, you look for meat. When you eat dumplings, you look for vegetarian ones."
"Xiwa, tell yourself, is there something wrong with you!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter!
After eating dozens of meat dumplings, and drinking a bowl of dumpling soup with a layer of oil floating on it, everyone showed satisfied smiles on their faces!
When Lin Hongfei went to Lu Province this time, besides Prince Xi who was in charge of leading the way, he also brought Lu Xiwa, Sun Tie, Ding Dehu, and Chen Deshan as guards to prevent robbers on the road.
Arriving at the train station by car, the group first met Wang Zixi who had been waiting here, and then entered the station one by one and boarded the train.
For this trip, Lin Hongfei and others had to take the train to Jinmen first, then transfer to the train going south from Jinmen, and go straight to Jifu of Lu Province along the Jinpu Railway.
There is a Jiaoji Railway between Jifu in Lu Province and Qingcheng, and Zhoucun, where shopkeeper Chen lives, is along the Jiaoji Railway.
Although it is not easy to take the train, it is better than eating and sleeping in the wild.
At this time, the interior of the passenger train has been divided into first-class, second-class and third-class carriages.
The fare of the third-class carriage is the cheapest, and the general layout is similar to the hard-seat carriages of later generations of green leather trains, except that the seats in the third-class carriages during the Republic of China were more uncomfortable, basically hardwood seats.
Moreover, the position of the third-class carriage is close to the steam locomotive of the train. In summer, the temperature inside the carriage is extremely high, and at the same time, there is a lot of soot and black smoke floating in from the open windows. In short, it is a suffering.
However, in winter, the third-class carriages are placed at the back of the train, and the highest-level first-class carriages are arranged behind the locomotive.
In winter, because the windows are not opened, black smoke and soot cannot come in. At the same time, because it is close to the steam engine, the temperature in the first class cabin is very comfortable in winter.
And the third-class carriage at the back was as cold as an ice cellar.
The second-class compartment is similar to the sleeping berth of a green leather train. There are four berths in one compartment, with two beds on the left and right, divided into upper and lower floors.
As for the first-class compartment, of course, there is no need to say more about electric fans and heaters. There are carpets under the feet, and there are independent dressing rooms and toilets in each compartment. The level of comfort is comparable to that of a green leather train. soft sleeper.
It's just that the first-class fare is the most expensive, but Lin Hongfei is not short of that money now, so he directly asked the station master of the Beijing Railway Station to leave six first-class tickets for himself.
When the train enters the train station, the passengers of the same train show different boarding scenes.
Passengers in the third-class carriage, packed with small and large luggage, blocked the entrance of the carriage like lumps.
Among the crowded boarding crowd, the passengers carried, carried, carried, or dragged their luggage onto the train.
Some people who take a car with a partner have an idea. First, send a companion to squeeze into the car with bare hands, and then move everyone's luggage in through the open window one by one. After the luggage is moved, others can easily squeeze into the train. .
There are also some people who see that they can't squeeze in for a while, so they just crawl in through the window!
Although the passengers in the second-class carriage were also carrying luggage, the number of them was relatively small, so the queue was not that crowded.
The passengers in the first-class car were the most relaxed. They were dressed gorgeously and bare-handed, and their luggage was carried up one by one by the servants, and then they slowly boarded the train.
On the contrary, first-class passengers like Lin Hongfei who carry their own luggage are relatively rare.
Before Lin Hongfei got into the car, he looked at the crowd in the third-class carriage, and the scene of riding a green leather car when he was returning home from college emerged in his mind.
When Lin Hongfei went from the north to the south to go to university, there was a year when air tickets were tight, and there were only standing tickets left for the train tickets. Lin Hongfei sat at the junction of two carriages for a full 60 hours.
Lin Hongfei still remembers that when he got out of the car with his luggage on his back, his whole body was floating, and he fell asleep when he got home, resting for three or four days before recovering.
"Ugh!"
Lin Hongfei sighed and boarded the train.
Accompanied by the long whistle of the steam engine, amidst the sound of puff, puff, puff, puff, thick smoke drifted around, the train started slowly, and drove along the rails towards Jinmen.
The speed of trains in the period of the Republic of China was not very fast, only [-] to [-] kilometers per hour, which was not much better than the electric motorcycles of the delivery boys of later generations.
Therefore, during the period of the Republic of China, people along the railway would climb on the running train at night to steal the goods in the train compartment.
This way of making a fortune existed until the 90s and [-]s, and it was not until the speed of the train was greatly increased, coupled with the continuous crackdown on such incidents, that this behavior gradually disappeared.
