Chapter 985 (1/2)
Wang Xuecheng and his strict words, abandoned the force of nine cattle and two tigers, finally crossed the crowd and came to the waiting hall.
”Line up and get on the train with tickets.”
”Don't squeeze!”
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
The stick struck on the table.
”If anyone doesn't talk about order, they'll get out. I haven't learned how to queue up for years
”Report, I want to go to the hut.”
”On the left is the cottage. Go by yourself. It's not a military camp. It's a piece of crap. ”
Most of the station staff are veterans. After training, the first time on duty.
”Well, that, I'll go to the cottage. Is this still my seat?”
”It's overdue. So, empty your stomach before you line up. ”
Once this was said, it attracted criticism.
”What a noise!” Boss Niu comes out of the public housing.
Cattle boss, Sirius army retired, initially in Balipu toll station do stationmaster. Later, the posts were transferred and several toll stations were changed.
Some time ago, I heard that Sihai road and bridge need to recruit a group of skilled station staff, or in the capital as an errand.
Boss Niu patted his thigh, ”here comes my chance!”
Without any hesitation, boss Niu signed up for the exam and passed it successfully.
Why did he insist on coming to Beijing?
Because a few years ago, he couldn't stand the hardships of his daughter-in-law and bought a suite in phase VI of Xinmin county.
Others work in toll stations, and they have to change places in one or two years. They have no chance to live in the houses in Beijing, which is a big loss.
It's rare to have a job opportunity in Beijing, and the salary is very good. Naturally, you can't let it go.
After five passes, six generals were killed, and numerous competitors were defeated. The ox boss stood out and became the station master of Xinmin County Station on the double track road.
He retired from the army and worked as an errand all over the world. He was used to everything in an orderly and orderly way.
When he saw someone disobeying the order, making a noise, and looking like he was going to make trouble, he got angry and said, ”Whoever makes any more noise, I will drive him out.”
Boss Niu is very tall and powerful, and his appearance is very deterrent.
Especially when he wants to eat people's eyes, he roars, the volume of the hall decreases instantly.
I'll see you in the hall.
He called in two station staff, ”go to the door and guide. Remember to get in one by one. Those who get on the bus usually half an hour later, all rush out. Time has not come, rush in to join in the fun. This place is so big that it can hold so many people. ”
The staff obeyed the order and went to the door to check the tickets.
Then the boss called several station staff, ”all people line up together, like what words. Open the two inner gates, and those who buy luxury cars will get on first, then the comfortable ones, and finally the ordinary ones. ”
”Don't hurry to feed the horses. Did the horses change when the carriage came in? ”
In order to ensure the speed of the carriage, the horses should be changed after arriving at the station.
Two of the four stations set up in the middle of the route also took on the task of replacing horses.
To this end, the other end of the track, set up a huge stable, there is a special person to look after.
The ticket is comfortable.
He and Wang Xuecheng were guided to the gate by the station staff.
”Can we get on the bus first?” he asked curiously
”Yes.”
Dudu Dudu
Three compact whistles sounded, the gate opened and the station began to enter.
People who buy luxury tickets stand first and get on first.
Then it was Yanci's turn and Wang Xuecheng's turn.
At the door of the second carriage, there is a big word for comfort.
They stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage.
Whoa!
”How spacious
Two rows of seats, arranged in order.
There are four rows and sixteen seats.
”Look, the seat number is still printed on the ticket. We are seats one and two
”Fifty Wen a seat, it's very expensive.”
”Of course, expensive has its advantages. You can see that there are still a lot of people willing to spend 50 Wen on a double track carriage. ”
”Well, there's food and drink.”
”Great! Tomorrow I'll have to try how luxurious the limousine is. ”
”I don't know what an ordinary car looks like.”
Inside the ordinary carriage, there are benches, which are fixed on the floor of the carriage.
It's not a problem to load 40 or 50 people in one carriage.
All the cars are full soon.
Twelve strong horses pulled three carriages to the new Imperial College building.
Some people soon discovered the difference.
”From Guozijian to Xinmin County, there are five carriages, but only eight strong horses are needed. From Xinmin county to Guozijian, there are only three carriages, but 12 strong horses are needed. Why is that? ””Because from Xinmin county to Guozijian, most of them are uphill.”
”I see.”
”Even uphill, it's fast enough.”
”Two or three times faster than a carriage.”
”It's uphill. Three times may not be a problem. Twice is not a big problem.”
”Isn't it quicker to go downhill?”
”I can't do it too fast. I'm afraid I'll roll over. As long as it's two or three times faster than a wagon, it's a good thing. ”
”The most important thing is to set up stations on the way to facilitate the replacement of horses. In this way, the carriage can go on and on
”You can't run all the time without light at night.”
”Just hang some lanterns at the front of the car. It's a big deal. Slow down at night. ”
”It makes sense. It's just the whole track. Isn't it too expensive? You have to prevent someone stealing the track. ”
”Ha ha, you can't steal it. You didn't notice that the rails are all screwed up with screws and nuts. They are very tight. No tools, no strength, no way to pry off the rails. ”
”What are screws and nuts?”
