Before the Pacific Railway was completed, it would take at least six months from New York to San Francisco. After the Pacific Ocean was completed, the time was shortened to seven days. It can be said that the Pacific Railway truly turned the United States into a complete country. With the completion of the Pacific Railway, the United States began to enter a period of rapid development.

But it is regrettable that after the Pacific Railway was completed, Chinese workers who had made great contributions to the Pacific Railway were forgotten. On the day when the east and west sections of railways were connected, Chinese workers could not even attend the celebration. That is, on the day when the Pacific Railway was completed, Chinese workers were collectively fired.

When night is about to fall, the train enters the Sierra Nevada area. This section of the railway is called the "China Great Wall on the Sierra Nevada". It is said that there is a corpse of a Chinese worker under each sleeper.

Li Mu didn't notice this fact because it was time for supper.

Because I missed lunch time, except for Li Mu, Xiao Fatty, Yan's family and Old Man Chen, almost all the officials and children of the young children who went abroad to study abroad were hungry. So this time the train had just stopped, and the officials and children of the young children who went abroad to study abroad also rushed out with the Americans and prepared to eat on the platform.

Even if you know that this is the time to eat, it is not easy to eat.

Just like the last time, the train only stayed for a few minutes. In this short period of time, you can basically get as much as you can. If you run a step slower, you can't get it at all. It's good to be able to get some leftovers.

At this time, there were no gentlemen or ladies. All foreigners broke up. In order to grab food, some people even started to take fists to the scene and were pushed down and squeezed down. The scene was as chaotic as the end of the world.

Seeing such a scene, whoever talks about the quality of foreigners is high, Li Mu will be anxious with whom!

Faced with foreigners who were like wolves and tigers, the officials and children of the Qing Empire were still worried and did not dare to break up and compete with foreigners. Therefore, the situation was not optimistic. As for what Li Mu saw, at least half of the children did not have enough food, and the other half of the children were only half full, or only a little bit.

When the car was parked, except for Li Mu and the Yan family, the only fat man did not move on the entire train.

The little fat man has many people and powerful people. The people in the royal palace are not very afraid of foreigners, so dozens of people rushed forward and still grabbed a lot of food.

But Li Mu clearly saw that while fighting for food, more food was wasted, thrown on the ground and trampled around, and it was soon inedible.

After the train started, two fatty servants failed to return to the carriage in time and were forgotten at this unknown station.

These two people were ordered to buy food. The food provided by the station was not of great quality and the portion was not enough. It was hard to imagine that if you wanted to fill your stomach, the fat man was very delicate and expensive, so he would definitely not join the ranks of competition, so buying became the only option.

It’s a pity that in this unfamiliar United States, I can’t even understand the language, and it’s easy to buy things, but the two servants haven’t come back until the driving time, so they lost contact.

After nightfall, the carriage was lit. Apart from the monotonous "bang" sound of the wheels passing through the rail joints, there was no sound in the carriage, and people were already asleep.

A gas lamp is a kind of lamp that uses kerosene as fuel. In 1807, the British William Murdoch invented the gas lamp. Since then, the gas lamp has replaced kerosene lamps and become the best lighting tool. Until the 21st century, the gas lamps have not completely disappeared. When used as camp lighting lamps under outdoor conditions, their performance is far better than various electronic tube lamps. The starting time is long, generally more than 6 hours, with high brightness, and can withstand winds below level three or four, and can also be used in light rain. At the same time, it has a certain dehumidification function when used in the tent, and the temperature in the tent can be quickly increased in winter.

Li Mu used to go outings often, so he was certainly not unfamiliar with car lights. Looking at the dazzling car lights in the middle of the car, Li Mu was not sleepy at all when he thought of life in the 21st century.

Because he sailed on the sea for 25 days in a row, there was no "time lag" in Li Mu and others. Like other children, Li Mu did not feel any discomfort and did not feel tired and wanted to die of fatigue.

After all, it was still late. Listening to the snoring from some corner, Li Mu began to feel sleepy half-wake.

Suddenly, a faint sob woke Li Mu up. Li Mu stood up and looked around and found that the sobs were coming from the carriage where the children were riding.

When he walked to the connection of the carriage, Li Mu realized that Li Mu was not the only one who woke up by the sobs.

All the passengers in this carriage were officials and children from the Bureau of Children's Study abroad. When Li Mu walked to the junction of the carriage, he saw that almost all the officials had no rest, including Old Man Chen, were busy comforting the children who could not fall asleep due to hunger.

The children are not full during the day. It is the time when they grow up. The children need extra nutrition and can still endure it during the day. At this moment, a considerable number of children are extremely hungry and finally can't help crying.

Crying is contagious. As long as one child cries, other children will soon follow suit. The final result is that crying sounds one after another.

This situation made Old Man Chen and the others at a loss. They were just "tolerant" and "tolerate tomorrow" in a way that was "to wait for tomorrow" but there was no specific solution.

These are all the "branch-up talents" of the Qing Empire. The court attaches great importance to these children. Li Zhongtang is still standing behind these children. If you are hungry, it will be really ridiculous.

It would be fine if the journey was short, but it would take seven days to walk from San Francisco to Springfield. It was only the first day, and I was so hungry that I looked like a ghost. If I survived until the seventh day, I still don’t know what would happen.

Thinking of this, Old Man Chen subconsciously remembered the beef and pancakes that Li Mu ordered people to send him during the day. Those foods that usually seem vulgar, but at this time, Old Man Chen also seemed to be delicious. Unfortunately, when he thought of Li Mu's money skewers, Old Man Chen subconsciously shook his head. Li Mu gave Old Man Chen food to Old Man Chen for the sake of Old Man Chen not being difficult for him in the future. If Li Mu asked Li Mu to share the food with these children, he still didn't know what excessive requests Li Mu would make.

But it seems that it will be impossible not to look for Li Mu. There is still a lot of time to stay up in the middle of the night, and it is still early. If you can't sleep well tonight, you will be even more energetic to compete with the foreigners for food tomorrow.

I have to endure the exploitation of Li Mu's money skeleton-

Just when Old Man Chen was extremely confused, the door of the carriage was gently pushed open. Miss Ten Thousand US dollars and her mother walked into the carriage with a plate of beef wrapped and distributed to the crying children one by one.
