The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 91 The Road

After the train traveled for more than an hour, the police officers on the train came to the door.

Yan Xiecheng and the others were chatting.

I saw two marshals in uniform walking to the door of the sleeping room and asking, "Which one is Comrade Yan Jiecheng?"

Upon seeing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately said, "I am Yan Jiecheng, what can I do for you?"

The two of them stared at Yan Jiecheng and said, "You are registered with us to carry guns, so we need to cooperate to check your documents and guns."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng quickly took out his letter of introduction, transfer order, and gun certificate from his luggage, and handed them to one of them.

He took out his Browning again, unloaded the magazine, and put all the bullets on the small table of the train, and pushed them towards the police officers.

Yan Jiecheng didn't pay attention, and when he took out Browning, the two marshals put their hands on their waists vigilantly.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's actions, one of them continued to maintain a state of alert, while the other carefully checked the number of the pistol.

When they saw that the gun certificates were the same, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning the things to Yan Jiecheng, he said, "It's troublesome."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be, thank you for your hard work."

"Then you are busy, we will go to another place to check." The two of them looked at Yan Xiecheng's certificate and knew that Yan Xiecheng was an expert sent by their ministry to Gan Province, so they were naturally very polite.

Before the two left, they warned: Don't use pistols on the train, and ask them if you need anything.

Yan Xiecheng naturally went to the end again and again.

After the two left, the man surnamed Tian was a little curious.

After all, he had touched a gun before.

It's just that I'm in the propaganda department now, and there are some cultural people in it, who are not so keen on guns, so naturally there are not many people with guns.

Seeing that Yan Xiecheng was still carrying a gun in the car, he was a little curious.

Seeing this situation, Yan Jiecheng showed him his gun certificate.

He smiled and said, "This time we are going to the wilderness to do survey and design, so we take it with us for self-defense."

After hearing this, Oda understood.

He had been in the Propaganda Department for two years, so he naturally knew that there were many bandits roaming the mountains after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the bandits have been suppressed for many years, they have basically been eliminated now.

But there are still scattered stragglers wandering in various mountainous areas.

It was not easy for Yan Jiecheng to see this Oda.

You must know that these days, hard sleeper cars are not just for people to sit in.

That must be a leader above the division level.

There is no need for the two of them to talk about it, after all, they are the boss of Tie, so they can't justify it without hard lying.

But Comrade Xiaotian is obviously not high enough, and the other one seems to be from a poor family, and he doesn't look like someone who is willing to pay for a sleeper.

However, Yan Jiecheng didn't ask too many questions. Everyone has their own fate, so why bother so much because we met each other by chance.

At noon, everyone is ready to eat.

No one goes to the dining car either.

When everyone brought out the food, Lao Xie and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other and smiled.

It turned out that both of them were steamed buns, eggs, and pickles.

Yan Jiecheng joked: "Don't look at me, I'm going out, so my mother made it for me. Usually it's sweet potato and corn mush.

It can't be compared with your big family. "

What Yan Jiecheng said was the truth, Lao Xie himself made more than 110 yuan a month, and his wife also had more than 70 yuan.

The couple are veterans who joined before liberation, and now they belong to the high-income group in the capital. There are no elderly people in the family, and there are only two children. Naturally, they live a good life.

"Xiaotian, here are some steamed buns for you to eat. I have a lot of them here. If I couldn't finish them, I left them on the way."

Lao Xie said to Tian Fujun.

After half a day, everyone got to know each other well, and naturally they all knew their names.

Tian Fujun raised the sweet potato in his hand as a gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, you are welcome. I will deal with the sweet potato that I roasted last night first."

Lao Xie didn't force it anymore, after all, they had already talked about it.

Although Comrade Tian Fujun was born in a rural area, he still has a salary of 80 yuan a month.

A few white flour steamed buns are not enough.

The few people had lunch and talked about their sex. Tian Fujun was also a down-to-earth person, and they had a good chat with the two engineers.

After a while, everyone lost their sense of strangeness.

It means to make friends with old friends.

Several people were chatting, and there were children running around in the carriage from time to time.

It is not easy to know this Tian Fujun in the chat.

Born in Tianjiagelao, Shuangshui Village, Yuanxi County, Huangyuan District in 1933, and later received enlightenment education in the free winter school run by Mr. Jin in their village, Jinjiawan.

In 45, he was admitted to the normal school in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and later joined the army.

After liberation, he worked as a secretary in the Finance and Economics Committee of the Commissioner's Office in Huangyuan District, and was later promoted to be the chief of the statistics section of the Commissioner's Office.

In 54, he studied in the Statistics Department of Renmin University, and in 57, he was chosen by the propaganda department to stay. Now he has decided to go back and build his hometown.

Both Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie admired his approach, especially as Lao Xie taught him a lot of experience.

Yan Jiecheng asked with a smile: "Brother Tian, ​​where are you assigned this time?"

Tian Fujun said with a smile: "Russian was assigned to the Xanthan Agency and said that he was the deputy director of the office."

Yan Jiecheng was also speechless, this Tian Fujun with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also a scumbag, his face turned green when he didn't see him.

Tian Fujun is already a cadre at the deputy director level at a young age, and he is still teaching him how to behave in the world.

Fortunately, Lao Xie enjoys the treatment as a technician, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Fortunately, the train arrived at International Village and stopped at the platform.

Lao Xie quickly opened the car window and asked everyone to fetch hot water.

Yan Xiecheng and the others did not have hot water in their car. At every station, there were staff on the platform carrying a large iron bucket with a long spout to pour water into the large teacups protruding from the windows of the passengers.

After fetching water, Yan Jiecheng saw some stalls selling goods on the platform.

One of them was selling donkey meat, and suddenly felt that he could eat a donkey.

He has no other hobbies, he just likes to eat with one bite.

He greeted the two of them and got out of the car.

I asked for four donkey meat to be burned, and I paid for it.Yan Jiecheng lit a cigarette on the platform and smoked quietly.

On the platform, besides those who got on and off the train, there were also some people who bought things like him, and there were also many people who came down to breathe.

They didn't get into the car until the staff blew the whistle.

"Here, whoever sees it has a share, you two, one for me and two for myself."

Yan Xiecheng put the donkey meat wrapped in paper on fire on the small table and said.

Old Xie couldn't do it either, he picked up one and said, "Then I have to thank the director, and Xiaotian, you don't have to be polite."

Seeing that Tian Fujun was still hesitating, he said again: "Hey, you don't know how difficult it is to eat our director's meal. Our director is a famous iron cock."

"Eat, eat, Brother Tian, ​​I'm still waiting for you to invite me to eat biangbiang noodles when I go to Qindi."

Seeing this, Tian Fujun was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then I will not be polite."

Several people were having fun, and the flight attendant came with three people.

"There are still three berths here, just enough for your family of three." After finishing speaking, he left.

"Professor Cai, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Yan Jiecheng saw that the visitor turned out to be an acquaintance, Professor Cai from Jiaotong University.

"Little Director Yan, where are you going?" Professor Cai, wearing a pair of round glasses, looked at Yan Jiecheng with surprise.

"Hey, stop talking, let's pack your luggage for you first."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he hurriedly helped put the luggage.

Professor Cai took his wife and daughter with him. The little girl is seven or eight years old and looks very delicate. She looks like Professor Cai.

Mrs. Cai also seems to be an intellectual, about 30 years old.

After packing their luggage, they sat down on the lower bunk and chatted.

"Little Director Yan, have you been transferred to Gan Province?" Professor Cai asked.

Yan Jiecheng nodded and said, "Yes. Teacher Xie and I have been transferred there, and we don't know how long we will stay."

Mrs. Cai said: "Then I won't be able to come back, the whole family will be relocated."

Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie looked at each other and said, "Professor Cai, you two are going to support the construction of Jincheng Railway Academy, right?"

The reason why Yan Jiecheng asked this question was because
Three years ago, the Government Affairs Council decided that Tangshan Railway Institute would be moved to Jincheng to build a school.

At that time, the school site was surveyed in Anning District, Jincheng City, and some school buildings were officially started.Later, for some reason, he did not move.

Last year, the headquarters reported to the higher authorities for approval to determine the teachers and equipment required by Jincheng Railway Academy, which will be supported by the two railway colleges in Tangshan and Beijing.

So Yan Jiecheng thought that Professor Cai was another group of supporters.

Professor Cai said with a smile: "That's not true, but it's about the same."

Then he told everyone about the origin of it.

It turned out that Jincheng Railway Academy applied to the headquarters to establish the Jincheng Railway Science Research Institute in January this year.

He is the supporting scientific research and technical personnel.

His wife and children were in the international village, so they got on the bus here.

Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie also sighed.

Only then did Yan Jiecheng say that the two of them were supporting the construction of the project.

Professor Cai became interested, and Yan Jiecheng simply produced the materials.

The three of them spread out on the sleeper and studied.

Some people say that the biggest problem of this project is the earthwork, and some people think that the loess layer is soft and must be well protected against floods.

Mrs. Cai is not surprised by the enthusiasm of several people talking there.

Tian Fujun is a man of action, and he is listening to this meeting with great interest.

The three of them discussed from noon to night, and Yan Jiecheng wrote more than ten pages of notes. After all, brainstorming together is more thoughtful than one person thinking.

"Okay, we three engineers, it's getting late, let's take a while and prepare for dinner."

When it was dark outside, Mrs. Cai reminded.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the three of them put away the materials, took out their food and started dinner.

Bang Chi Bang Chi, the time on the train was long and boring, and fortunately several people were able to talk together.

At noon on the third day, the food brought by several people was gone. Fortunately, they were all high-income people.

Lao Xie proposed to go to the dining car for dinner, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.

A group of people passed through several carriages and finally arrived at the dining car.

The dining car was cleaned very well.

The diners are all well-dressed, and at first glance they are intellectuals or cadres.

Lao Xie skillfully asked the flight attendant for a recipe, and ordered a shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

Passed the menu to Professor Cai, and Professor Chen ordered a few casually.

After several people finished ordering, Yan Jiecheng asked with a smile, "Mr. Xie, you are very skilled. There are even recipes on this car."

Lao Xie said: "I used to travel frequently, and I know that they have a copy of "Cooking Techniques" issued by the headquarters in their cars.

These dishes are made in strict accordance with this regulation.

These recipes have a common feature, and the dishes are all outside the scope of their railway jurisdiction.

For example, in the booklet "Cooking Techniques" published by the Shudi Road Bureau, Sichuan cuisine is basically the main food.

However, in the recipe book of Yuzhang Road Bureau, there are also many Ganjiang dishes, such as dragon head crisps, glutinous rice chicken, raw fried glutinous rice, etc.

If these railways cross provinces, they will synthesize delicacies from all over the country.

We took the car of the Beijing Municipal Bureau, so you can see that most of the dishes here are Beijing or Shandong dishes. "

Yan Jiecheng nodded repeatedly.

Sure enough, these good things are gone in later generations.

However, he also understood that since the household registration system was implemented in [-], it was inconvenient for most people to go out and needed a letter of introduction.

Generally, those who can take the train have units, and most of them are on business.

Besides, senior experts and celebrities in the cultural circle are the guests of the dining car these days, and most people dare not enter the dining car.

But this dish is too rich.

Nowadays, food is tight, and some small restaurants in Forty-Nine City do not have such a complete range of dishes.

It has to be said that under the supply system, the state's support for special industries is not insignificant.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but think of the interesting story he heard about flying by plane in his previous life.

At that time, it was rumored that the plane meal was handcrafted by the chef, and there was endless Moutai.

Seeing that Yan Xiecheng was interested, Mrs. Cai also said: "I used to make Sichuan carts. There are many high-end dishes on their carts, such as chessboard fish maw, sweet-scented osmanthus scallops, fresh sea cucumber shreds, dry-roasted shark's fin, and snowflake chicken cheese. , Shredded Chicken with Orchid, Sea Cucumber with Liver Oil, etc., are all famous Sichuan dishes.”

Yan Xiecheng was a little surprised after hearing Madam Cai's words.

Like these dishes, he only ate them a limited number of times in later generations, either when local wealthy friends got married, or at some special banquets.

He can't afford it himself.

Yan Xiecheng was a little silent. In this era of poverty and material scarcity, the food in the dining car is still so rich.

Make him very complicated.

Yan Jiecheng didn't even think about it, knowledge is so precious these days, and intellectuals were the only favorites in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The salary of the five of them is more than 600 yuan, which is equivalent to the sum of [-] families in the courtyard house.

He has been at the bottom for a long time in the past and present, and he has not had enough to eat, but he can't see the suffering in the world.

After all, Mrs. Cai is a woman, with a delicate temperament, she immediately saw what Yan Jiecheng was thinking.

He said with a smile: "In this situation, many people wrote to the headquarters of the Railway Bureau, requesting that the standard of train meals be lowered.

The reply at that time probably meant two layers.

The first is that foreigners don't like these things, and they can't exchange them for foreign exchange. Those with high incomes don't consume them. What about those who make a living by doing so?
The second is that most of the scholars and experts are relatively old, and everyone is highly motivated to build a country. They all start work as soon as they get off the train, and they don’t have a good rest. "

After glancing at Yan Jiecheng, Mrs. Cai smiled again: "Of course, they didn't expect such a young expert as Director Yan."

After speaking, he sighed: "I thought that Lao Cai and I were already considered young, but I didn't expect that there were people besides us."

After Yan Jiecheng heard this, it was considered to be in the past, so he was no longer entangled.

After a while, the food came to the table, and Yan Xiecheng ate steamed buns and pickles for two days.

Seeing the steaming hot food, Yan Xiecheng immediately put these messy thoughts aside.

Several people chatted while eating.

Professor Cai even talked about the past of studying abroad with his wife.

It was still in 1950, they graduated from Huaqing, and after many examinations, they finally obtained the qualification to study abroad with Big Brother.
