The reason why Fangyuan chose a hotel instead of a small hotel was because he wanted to take a quick hot bath.
During this period of time in Zhaojiayu, although I could take a bath frequently, I didn't feel comfortable doing so because I didn't have the conditions.
We are about to get on the train, and we have to take the train for several days. Of course, we need to take a nice hot bath and then have a comfortable sleep.
To be honest, Fangyuan doesn't have high requirements for a place to live, as long as there is a place to lie down and sleep.
Of course, there is another reason why Fangyuan chose the hotel, that is, the small hotels near the train station are relatively messy.
After arriving in the room, Fangyuan went to the bathroom and took a look. It was quite clean.
Then he took off his clothes, went in and washed himself thoroughly, dried his body and hair with a bath towel, and Fang Yuan threw himself directly on the bed.
Of course, Fangyuan did not sleep directly, but went into the space to get some food for herself. Along the way, Fangyuan was really exhausted from sleeping in the open air.
Also, how can I not be tired after driving for more than ten hours?
After eating, Fangyuan went to bed and slept until about seven o'clock the next morning.
There were still a little more than two hours before the train departed, so Fangyuan got up and checked out the room first, then Fangyuan came outside.
In any case, it’s a trip to Lanzhou, and it wouldn’t be justified if I didn’t eat some ramen.
Another thing is that Fangyuan wants to bring some local specialties back. Of course, this is without a ticket. If you need a ticket to buy it, then Fangyuan has no choice.
If he stayed for a few days, he could still think of a solution, but now he only had about two hours, and it was too late to think of a solution.
There was a ramen restaurant not far from the hotel. Fangyuan went in and came to the counter and said, "What kind of ticket do I need for a bowl of ramen?"
"Just food stamps."
"Don't you need meat tickets?" Fangyuan asked doubtfully.
"No, meat is added separately, for example, it costs 10 cents or 20 cents."
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what was going on.
Yes, this is near the train station. If you ask for meat tickets, the business will definitely not be good.
Because most of the people who come to eat are passing by, how can people passing by get local meat tickets?
You must know that the only nationwide stamps when it comes to food are food stamps.
If you ask for meat tickets, some people will definitely be unable to eat.
Just because you don't need meat tickets doesn't mean you'll make money, because the price of adding meat will be very high. It's estimated that a dime of meat is only a few slices, and a 20 cents will be a little more.
You have to know that if you buy meat for one cent, you can almost buy it for two taels if you have a meat ticket, but here there are only a few more slices of meat.
"Give me an extra fifty cents."
There is no way, who can make Fangyuan not short of money! If not for the fear that the meat for one dollar would be too much and the taste of the ramen would be lost, Fangyuan would be prepared to add another dollar!
"Okay! It's fifty-five cents in total, plus four taels of food stamps."
"Here you go." Fangyuan handed over the food stamps and money.
In other words, if Fangyuan does not add 5 cents of meat, then this bowl of ramen only costs 40 taels of food stamps and 5 cents.
The price is really not expensive, even much cheaper than in the Imperial Capital. Of course, you can't eat ramen in the Imperial Capital now.
"Find a seat first! You'll be there soon."
"OK!"
There were not many people in the ramen restaurant, so there were many seats. Fangyuan just found an empty seat to sit down, and then waited.
But he didn't wait long, only about five minutes at most, before the ramen he asked for was served.
Also, ramen is made quickly. The water is boiling. You pull the noodles in, take them out when they are cooked, and then add the meat slices.
Not to mention, fifty cents is a lot of meat, at least two taels, and this is cooked meat.
Fangyuan took the chili oil next to him, added some to the bowl, stirred it and started eating.
This is the first time Fangyuan has eaten ramen since he came to this era. Not to mention, the taste is really good, at least it is much more authentic than the ramen of later generations.
After eating a large bowl of ramen, Fangyuan felt much better. Of course, he would not be full after eating such a bowl of ramen.
But it's almost there, at least 60% full, but that's enough for Yuan.
He had no intention of eating ramen until he was full. He would get on the train and eat something else, which was basically fine.
After coming out of the ramen shop, Fangyuan started looking for places to sell things. Not to mention, there were quite a few places selling things at the train station.
And most of the products sold are local specialties. Another thing is that these local specialties do not require a ticket, as long as you have money, you can buy them.
This is pretty good, and it’s similar to the one near the Imperial City Railway Station.
When in the imperial capital, tickets are also not required for selling things near the train station, especially souvenirs and specialties.
Take roast duck for example. You don't need a ticket to buy roast duck near the Imperial Railway Station, but the price is several times more expensive than using a ticket.
Fangyuan spent more than thirty yuan and bought a lot of things.
More than thirty yuan is equivalent to one month's salary of a formal employee. Not to mention now, even in future generations, no one is willing to spend a month's salary to buy souvenirs.
But Fangyuan is willing to give it up, because this is not his monthly salary, but someone else's monthly salary. As for how much money he earns in a month, probably only he knows.
After buying souvenirs, Fangyuan rushed to the train station because there was only an hour before the train departed.
Of course, these souvenirs must be put away before getting in the car. This is very simple for Fangyuan, just find a place where no one is around.
So when Fangyuan got in the car, she still carried a travel bag.
After another four days and three nights, Fangyuan returned to the Imperial Capital. The closer he got to the Imperial Capital, the more excited Fangyuan became.
This should be the so-called cowardice of being close to home! Although my hometown in the past and present life should all be in the Central Plains Province.
But after living in the imperial capital for so many years, and having a home and relatives here, this place has become a real home.
This time I have been away for several months at a time. This can be said to be the longest time that Fangyuan has been away from the imperial capital. Even when I went to the United States last time, I never went out for such a long time.
"We've arrived." A staff member came over and said to Yuan Yuan.
"Well! I've packed it up," Fangyuan said to the staff.
In fact, when there were still more than a hundred kilometers away from the imperial capital, Fangyuan had already packed up and was sitting on the bunk waiting.
"Okay!" The staff nodded and left.
This is also her job. Her job is to remind the guests in the soft sleeper compartment to get off.
A few minutes later, the train stopped. Fangyuan put her bag on her shoulders and got off.
He didn't notify his family that he would be back today, so there was no one to pick him up.
This doesn't matter to Fangyuan, because it's more troublesome to pick him up at the station.
The first thing to do is to take the bus over, and Fangyuan! He has his own car. After leaving the station, he finds a place to put the car out, looks at the car and goes back. It is relatively simple.
Because he was a passenger in the soft sleeper compartment and took a special passage, he went out without checking the ticket at all.
After arriving outside, Fangyuan walked directly to a more remote place.
To be honest, Fangyuan was a little uncomfortable when we first got off the bus, because it was a little colder in Gansu than in the imperial capital.
Although it is only the beginning of March, this is based on the lunar calendar, and it is already April in the solar calendar, because there is a difference of more than one month between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.
Find a relatively remote place, Fangyuan put the jeep out, then got in the car and drove the jeep out directly.
Although Fangyuan is a little timid now about being close to home, he is eager to return home. He has no choice but to miss his home and his mother. He also misses his eldest sister, third sister, master and little fat man.
Of course, there are also Li Yanran and the little girl. From the Chinese New Year to now, Fangyuan has called his family several times and knows that Master and Li Yanran are still living in his house.
This also includes the little girl. Now that schools are closed, the little girl doesn’t need to go to school. She basically lives here and rarely even goes home.
As for Li Yanran, not to mention, her family's situation is quite special. Even if she wanted to go back, her parents would not let her go back.
At least not now.
As for the eldest sister, she still works at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the date has been set. She may have her affairs settled before the Spring Festival this year.
To be honest, Fangyuan is not optimistic about it, but if the eldest sister is willing, Fangyuan can't do anything about it.
The reason why Fangyuan is not optimistic is that his future brother-in-law thinks that he is a cadre of the supply and marketing cooperative, and he is asking for as much as 250,000 to 800,000 yuan.
Such people also look down on the Fangyuan family and think that the Fangyuan family is just a family of workers.
This is fundamental and there is no way to change it. To be honest, Fangyuan really doesn't understand why the eldest sister falls in love with him.
Regardless of identity, if the conditions were compared, Fangyuan's family would be far behind theirs.
Of course, my future brother-in-law doesn't know this, and has no intention of letting him know.
Of course, this is not what Fangyuan meant, but what Mom wanted. If Fangyuan meant it, she would call him home and let him know something.
In that case, he might be nicer to his eldest sister, but this matter was opposed by his mother.
Fangyuan knew that his mother was doing this for his own good and didn't want too many people to know what Fangyuan had done.
In fact, it really doesn't matter to Yuan Yuan, because he is not afraid of anything.
But my mother doesn’t think so! Even the eldest sister is the same. They don’t want anything to happen to Fangyuan, which makes Fangyuan feel very aggrieved.
He could obviously protect his eldest sister and make her splendid, but just because of this era, he couldn't do anything.
Ten minutes later, Fangyuan drove the jeep out of Deshengmen. When we got here, Fangyuan felt that the air was sweet.
This is because he feels that he has returned home. For most people, the word home means a kind of harbor, which is warm and comfortable.
