Chapter 181 Tickets in Old Memories
The Jiangcheng Railway Station with an earthy yellow two-story brick structure is simply heaven and earth compared to the magnificent railway stations of later generations. To sum it up in three words, it is dirty, messy and poor.
But! Almost all train stations in this era are like this, and Li Zhongxin has nothing to do. He knows very well that if he wants the train station to be beautiful, it will take some time. When the train station can no longer bear the rush of passengers, naturally
It will be rebuilt.
As Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu waved goodbye to others, the green leather car heading directly to the capital began to slowly start.
In his previous life, Li Zhongxin only took the long-distance train in the early 1990s. After his rebirth, Li Zhongxin took the long-distance train ten years earlier.
What Li Zhongxin didn't expect was that the long-distance trains in the 1980s were so noisy that his head was buzzing, and the entire carriage was filled with smokers. Most of the men, women, and children smoked. It was like not smoking on the train.
I feel sorry for taking a train.
This time when we arrived at the capital, Li Zhongxin, Wang Bofeng Banshan and others were the last ones to set off.
Wang Deqing did a very good job in finding the front station. Not only did he find the residence of Zhao Yuanyuan and the others, but the location was in the middle of the house purchased by the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket.
If something happens to them, they can quickly find Wang Deqing and others for help.
These Zhongxin grocery chain supermarkets are currently in the process of renovation. The location of the rented warehouse has been clearly explained to Lin Taiping, the new director of the sanitary napkin factory. The first batch of sanitary napkins has been shipped from Heilongjiang Province.
, if there are no big surprises, everyone will be in place before Li Zhongxin and the last group of people arrive.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Deqing found a large warehouse in the capital and rented it out. He also found a state-owned car rental company in the capital and rented out 20 half-cars (the kind with people in the front and cargo in the back).
Vehicles larger than pickup trucks), these vehicles are hired specifically for Zhao Yuanyuan and others to use when going out for publicity.
In this case, when girls like Zhao Yuanyuan go out to promote, they will have an extra layer of safety and can also carry a lot of sanitary napkins.
If the number of sanitary napkins in a van or other small car is too small, and it can be distributed in a short time, it will be very different from Li Zhongxin's request.
When it comes to distributing sanitary napkins and leaflets for free, almost all women will accept such free goodies. If we don't use such big guys, the distribution will be gone in a short time, and then it will not be able to play a publicity role at all.
Lin Taiping, the newly appointed director of the sanitary napkin factory, has already made a guarantee to Li Zhongxin that he will ensure that Li Zhongxin uses sanitary napkins for promotion in Beijing no matter what.
Lin Taiping is also launching promotion activities in other big cities in an orderly manner. Most of the staff in the sanitary napkin supply and marketing department were replaced by Lin Taiping because of laziness and lack of positive thinking. This time, they are all sales elites, just waiting.
When Li Zhongxin's advertising starts, they will also start launching Li Zhongxin's publicity model in several cities.
It had been a full hour since the train started. Li Zhongxin, who was lying on the soft sleeper, put back his thoughts of leaving and called Wang Bo and Feng Banshan to go to the front hard-seat carriage to see those young people who had never traveled far away.
Sitting in the hard-seat carriage, while listening to Wang Bo and those people explaining the precautions, Li Zhongxin slowly raised his hand and covered his mouth and nose with some disgust.
Li Zhongxin could accept smoking in the train and being noisy. However, a large group of big men took off their shoes, and the sour smell was mixed with the smell of smoke. Li Zhongxin even felt like he couldn't breathe.
Although Li Zhongxin covered his nose very hard and buried his entire face in his clothes, the all-pervasive smell still penetrated into Li Zhongxin's nose naturally.
Wang Bo, Feng Banshan and more than 20 young people around him smoked very little under his strong request, but Li Zhongxin still felt the discomfort.
Li Zhongxin and Wang Bofeng bought sleeper berths in Banshan, but the twenty or so young people were sitting on hard seats. It had been more than an hour, and he was really worried if he didn't come here to take a look. After all, that was
The twenty-odd young men had never traveled far, and it was their first time to take such a long-distance bus. Their family had left their children in the hands of Zhongxin Company, so he naturally had to give an explanation to these parents.
"Checking in, checking in. Prepare your train tickets and check in one by one." Just when Li Zhongxin was about to start turning around in the sleeper car, several conductors in railway uniforms filed into the hard-seat car, and they shouted
He shouted loudly while observing the people on the train.
In the 1980s, there were still quite a few fare evaders.
After all, many train stations in various places are quite imperfect. After getting off the train, you can walk directly out of the station along the railway line without going through the ticket gate. Therefore, ticket checking is particularly strict at this time.
After hearing the call to check in, Feng Banshan took out three train tickets from Deliang's jacket pocket, glanced at them, and handed one of them to Li Zhongxin.
Only then did Li Zhongxin see that the ticket in his hand was an old-fashioned cardboard ticket from decades ago.
The ticket has a slightly pink shading, and it says from Jiangcheng Station to Jingcheng Station, under the hard sleeper.
There is also a small notch on the side that was made by the ticket checking pliers when checking the ticket. Next to the small notch is the price and number, as well as the characters "half" and "child".
Li Zhongxin used a children's ticket. The whole and half characters of the full-price adult ticket were marked with an ×, indicating that it was a children's ticket. On the back of the ticket was the train number and time.
At that time, train ticket inspection was very strict, and those who were over 1.2 meters tall could not enjoy the treatment of children's tickets.
"Stand back! Stand back!" the police officer's voice gradually became louder. One police officer stayed at the door where he entered, while the other police officers moved forward to check tickets from front to back.
Because many of the tickets in the hands of passengers are of wrong numbers, the trains are always overloaded. Generally, a hard seat for two people can accommodate three people, and a hard seat for three people can seat four people.
As soon as I heard that I needed to check the tickets, I rummaged around in my pockets to find the train tickets. Therefore, when the train police checked the tickets, it was like pebbles being thrown into the basin, and the whole carriage felt like it was rippling.
Li Zhongxin thought it would be okay if the tickets were only checked once during the whole journey. However, there were a lot of ticket checks required throughout the journey. After arriving at a major station, the train police would take the stewards to the carriage to check the tickets once.
Of course, people who have the impression don't need to check their tickets again. They mainly check those who just got on the bus and don't have a seat.
Being a flight attendant at that time was a very hard job. The layer on the ground was filled with melon seed peels, peanut peels, popsicle paper, various fruit cores, and disgusting phlegm.
Although being a flight attendant is tiring and hard-working, it is a profitable job.
Not only because it can help relatives and friends bring back some good things from all over the country, but also because of the gray income they earn in the process of checking tickets.
The gray income at this time is very easy to earn. People who get on the train without buying a ticket usually complain about poverty or say they don’t have enough money. In short, if they can spend less money, they will never spend more money.
For example, the ticket price from Shencheng to Beijing should be three yuan, but they give the conductor one yuan to take the train. However, when you leave the platform, the conductor will not guarantee that you can get out of the station smoothly.
.
At this time, the flight attendants also had other incomes. Every hour, the voices of hawking cigarettes, soda drinks, and spiced melon seeds came up.
This time is a little different from the push-cart sales in the 1990s. They carry a cloth bag and put cigarettes, soda drinks, melon seeds and other things into the bag. They take whatever the passengers want from it.
What amused Li Zhongxin the most was that every time he stopped at a major station, someone would rush up to sell magazines, "I have read books and newspapers. I am tired from the journey and read books to relieve my boredom. A country widow, stay up at night and be nice to your neighbors."
Come on. Why are the urban sisters back to back..."
