20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 45 Taxi

Xiaowei asked, "Taxi? How much does it cost to take one?"

Chen Hui thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the railway building. It's close, and it's also close when they go back after they're done. If you take a taxi from here to there, it costs ten yuan, one car. Six of us, two cars, 20 yuan, not much."

Xiaowei opened his eyes wide, raised his voice, and said, "How much? 20 yuan? Not much?"

Chen Hui froze for a moment, and said a little weakly, "Yes, not much, what's the matter?" His voice became smaller and smaller.

Carrying a teapot, Xiao Hong added water to everyone, and said, "20 yuan is enough to go out for a meal. No wonder you don't have any money in your pocket. It's worth spending so much."

Chen Hui thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, if you don't drink, it's enough to cook three or four dishes."

Xia Maosheng took a toothpick in his mouth and said, "Don't think about it that way. It's not like taking a taxi every day, but once in a while. Don't think too much about going out to play."

Xiaowei looked at Xiaohong, then at Yang Tiebin, who was drinking and floating, and was about to take off. Although he was not floating, Li Guangzhao, who was blushing and thick-necked, and Xia Maosheng, who had no money at all, Chen Hui, suddenly felt Why are they so unreliable?He licked his lips and said, "...OK, let's go. Then, take a taxi."

After Xiaowei spoke, Xiaohong pouted and stopped talking. Everyone got up, got dressed and went out to sing the legendary karaoke.

……

It was already the middle of the month, and at night, there was a slight wind, and it was because several people had just drank wine that they all shivered as soon as they came out of the building.

Xiaowei blocked Xiaohong from behind and asked, "Is it cold? Why don't you go up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

Xiaohong poked her head out of Xiaowei's cover to feel it, and said: "It's okay, it's not too cold, let's go, if it's cold, just give me your clothes, anyway, you're strong, haha."

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Okay, then you say it coldly. Chen Hui, where can I take a taxi?"

Chen Hui pointed to the main road and said, "Just stand on the side of the road and wait. If you come, just wave your hand. You haven't taken a taxi before, have you?"

Xiaowei looked at Chen Hui and said, "I haven't taken a taxi, what's the matter? I have a car, how much money do I need? Besides, we don't have one either, and I don't even know what a taxi looks like. "

Li Guangzhao said: "We have them. I have never seen them before. I usually ride my dad's bicycle or take the bus."

Yang Tiebin put one arm on Li Guangzhao's shoulder, panting and said, "I haven't seen it before. I don't see that tractor very often. Where can I find a taxi?"

Li Guangzhao asked: "Then you learn how to be a chef? Why don't you go back to your own home and cook?" The places where even tractors are not common can only be in remote rural areas with few populations. Opening a restaurant in such a place is a must joke.

Yang Tiebin said: "Do you think I want to learn? My dad does this. He has forced me to learn from him since I was in junior high school. After learning, I will go back to the county or city to work. I don't necessarily have to drive it myself. I go to work in a restaurant." It’s also better than farming at home.”

A few people walked along the branch road in the community to the side of Wenhua Road while talking. At this moment, a large number of overpasses and underground passages in Fengtian City have not been built yet. A few people looked at the car, ran across the road, and stood on the opposite side. Wait for a taxi.

As soon as I came out of the building group and stood on the side of the main road, I felt that the wind was several degrees stronger immediately, and the clothes were shaking when it was blowing.

Xiao Hong shrank her neck and got into Xiao Wei's arms, turned Xiao Wei's body and turned half a circle to block the wind, and said: "Oh, the wind is stronger than downstairs, it hurts my face when it blows, and tomorrow I'll go to the hospital." Don't come out at night."

Xiaowei said, "I'll give you my clothes." Raising her hand to take off her clothes, Xiaohong grabbed Xiaowei's arm and said, "I don't need it right now, you just need to block it for me. The car will come soon."

Chen Hui stood on the far side, staring at the direction of Wulihe, and said: "There should be more cars at night, and there are not as many people taking cars at night than during the day. Come here, Xiaowei, do you see that car with lights on the roof? That's the taxi." He took a step forward and waved his hands up.

In fact, it was really easy to take a taxi in 90. There were few people who took a taxi. Most people would not be willing to spend this money if they had nothing to do. Unlike later generations, if you click your back, just stand there and wait. Waiting for an hour or two is normal.

A taxi drove over, it was a Naizi, Fengtian didn’t have any mandatory requirements for taxis at the moment, the car models were messy, Lada, Naizi, Fiat, Oto, Xiali, all kinds of cars, the colors were different, Red, yellow, and green.The slightly better ones are Santana, Peugeot, and Volga.

There are also dukes, kings, crowns, Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, but not to mention ordinary people, few people can afford to sit there, and they usually only stay in big hotels or places related to foreign affairs.

There is also noodle, the word noodle is spread from the capital city, it means minivan running for rent, which is a bit similar to the waving and parking small passenger at the end of the 90s, but now it is a taxi procedure, usually in Jilin or Songhua River, Tianjing Dafa.

However, Fengtian generally has more Soviet cars like Lada and Naizi, which are thick and durable, but there is no air-conditioning on the cars, and they were gradually phased out later.

As soon as the taxi turned around, the driver approached, the driver was very talkative, and six people squeezed into each other, so Xiaowei hugged Xiaohong and sat in the passenger seat, and the other four squeezed the back seat, filling a large Naizi to the full. Drive past Zhongshan Park.In this era, there was just a special traffic police organization, and it was necessary to manage the problem of bicycles and pedestrians crossing the road. It was relatively easy for drivers to drive on the road.

In a few minutes, when we arrived at the place, everyone got off the bus, and Xiaowei paid the fare, ten yuan, which made Xiaowei feel that it was a saving.Although taxis in this era are equipped with watches, most of the time they still negotiate the price verbally. Before getting in the car, they ask how much it is, bargain the price, and leave when they are sure.

If you get in the car without saying a word, you will be regarded as a foreigner by the driver.The fast device for running the meter has been around for a long time. In addition, the city is big, and the locals may not be completely familiar with the route. It is purely normal to go around a few times.

After getting out of the car, it happened to be at the entrance of Zhongshan Park. Xia Maosheng looked at the gate of the park and said to Xiaowei, "You can bring Xiaohong here on Sunday. It doesn't cost much. It's very interesting. One day Isn’t it boring to just stay at home?” He leaned closer to Xiaowei’s ear and whispered, “Go out and play with me more, girls like this, aren’t you afraid of getting bored and running away?”

Xiaowei turned his head to look at the gate of Zhongshan Park. Although it was dark at night, the headlights inside were brightly illuminated, and he could still watch the crowds in the park. The management of the park is very good at management, and has added some special night viewing and play projects, which are quite popular.
