Chapter 73 Going to the Capital

When Pang Qingyun and Li Xiulan narrowly escaped the "Peach Blossom Tribulation".

Zhao Wenmu and his party were already on their way to the capital.

There were six people in the group, five large and one small, all fully equipped with luggage.

The main reason is that Zhao Wenqiu has too much luggage, including bedding, pillows, clothes, shoes and hats, and food. There are four large packages.

I haven’t brought the pots and pans yet. Zhao Wenmu plans to buy these things when he arrives at the school.

Then there is the matter of little girl.

Although the little guy is small, he has to carry a lot of things.

Small quilts, small swaddling clothes, small clothes, diapers, milk powder, prickly heat powder...anything that can be used cannot be missing.

As for Zhao Wenmu, Zhao Jing, Zhao Xin and Zheng Guangming, they hardly brought any luggage.

Zhao Wenmu took all the family money with him.

The total is 20,600 yuan!

I was thinking about buying a courtyard house or something.

He didn't know how much a courtyard house in the 1980s cost, but it wasn't expensive at all.

He knows very well how valuable the courtyard houses will be in the future. It can easily cost hundreds of millions or more than a billion. The key is that the price has no market.

Buy a few sets and throw them away, and in twenty years you will be rich and free!

The power of the times is so great.

If you follow the right rhythm, you can win while lying down!

The train was noisy and crowded, but as soon as the few of them lay down in the sleeper car and closed the compartment door, they were isolated from the outside world.

Although the hard sleeper is not very comfortable, and the train is very noisy and rattling constantly, but we are all people who have endured hardships, so this condition is already very comfortable.

It is possible that Zhao Xin really has never suffered.

However, the little girl was excited and curious along the way and did not complain about anything.

The little girl opened her big black grape-like eyes along the way and looked at everything around her curiously. She was neither noisy nor fussy, and was very well-behaved.

Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing were relieved of their worries.

Although it is a sleeper car, people still come from time to time and ask if they should buy this? Should they buy that?

Some are conductors on the train.

Most of them are hawkers doing business.

Especially at every stop, someone will come up to sell something.

Nowadays, trains usually take a long time to stop at the station, unlike in later generations, which usually only lasted for two or three minutes.

The conductor would kick them off if they found out, but as soon as the conductor left, they would appear again.

There are also many thieves, especially in hard-seat carriages.

Nowadays, a train can take more than ten or dozens of hours. The train from Qilu to Hainan can even take six or seven days. There are so many people in the carriage, so many people are crowded, and everyone is tired after a long time.

It is easy for thieves to succeed, and they usually do it before the train arrives at the station. Once they succeed, they get off the train directly or hand it over to their accomplices waiting at this station.

Vendors and thieves are like mice, constantly playing hide-and-seek games with train conductors and police officers.

Don't think that there are no thieves in sleeper carriages.

This is also a hot spot for theft.

After all, people who can afford to ride in a sleeper car usually have status.

He also has a lot of money and stuff.

When away from home, it is important not to reveal your wealth.

Fortunately, Zhao Wenmu and the others closed the compartment door and isolated it from the outside. He and Zheng Guangming slept on the lower bunk. If someone came in uninvited at night, they would not be able to escape their ears.

At least you can’t escape Zheng Guangming!

At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the train stopped at Texas, er, Texas Station.

Zhao Jing was breastfeeding her little girl in the cubicle.

Zhao Wenmu and Zheng Guangming were sitting on small stools outside the cubicle chatting.

"Brother Zheng, what is that bulging thing in your waist?"

Zhao Wenmu also just noticed that Zheng Guangming seemed to be carrying something around his waist.

It was more obvious when he sat down, otherwise he really wouldn't have noticed.

Zheng Guangming smiled.

He took out a book of documents and a letter of introduction from his pocket.

Zhao Wenmu took it, glanced at it, and handed it back.

He also gave a thumbs up.

The red cover of the certificate clearly says "Qilu Province Public Firearms License", and the letter of introduction also begins with Pingyang County Public Security Bureau.

I have to say that my inner sense of security suddenly skyrocketed.

Zhao Wenmu blushed slightly when he remembered that he and Wang Shunbao's novices were pecking each other.

Like the three Wang brothers, the one in front of me has more than enough with one hand.

At this moment, a child of fourteen or fifteen years old came over.

"Comrade, would you like to buy some eggs and pancakes?"

The child said in a low voice.

She was holding a basket in her hand, covered with a piece of floral cloth so that the contents could not be seen.

He looked nervous.

Zhao Wenmu was quite surprised. He knew that there were many children begging and selling things near the train station in later generations, including some with disabilities. Most of them were controlled by criminal gangs.

Even physical disabilities are man-made.

Many children are actually abducted by human traffickers.

Is this little girl like this? Did this kind of crime start so early?

"Little girl, how much does an egg cost?"

"1 cents 5 each."

The little girl replied timidly.

Zhao Wenmu reached out and lifted a corner of the cloth and saw some eggs and pancakes in the basket.

Nowadays, they are all free-range eggs, which are relatively small, about 8 per pound.

A pound of eggs costs about 6 cents.

In other words, she can earn 60 cents from selling a pound of eggs.

"Little girl, why are you selling eggs on the train?"

Zhao Wenmu asked softly.

Who knew that when the little girl heard what he said, she immediately covered the flower cloth back and said with some fear:

"Brother, don't call the conductor, I'm leaving now."

As he said that, he turned around and left, feeling quite like running away.

Zhao Wenmu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Does the other party think of themselves as enthusiastic people who want to report to the conductor?

"Don't be afraid, I don't want to report you."

He quickly lowered his voice and shouted, then added:

"Give me ten eggs first."

As he said that, he took out the money.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then turned back.

There were only twelve or three eggs in the basket, and ten of them were sold at once. She looked very happy.

"Little girl, how many eggs can you sell in a day?"

"Sometimes there are more than fifteen or six, and sometimes there are only six or seven."
