Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 73 Going to the Capital

When Pang Qingyun and Li Xiulan narrowly escaped the "Peach Blossom Tribulation".

Zhao Wenmu and his party are already on their way to the capital.

A group of six people, five big and one small, all fully dressed.

The main reason is that Zhao Wenqiu's luggage is really too much, bedding, pillows, clothes, shoes and hats, and food, there are four big packages full.

I haven't brought pots and pans yet. Zhao Wenmu plans to buy these things when he arrives at school.

Then there is the thing about the little girl.

Although the little guy is small, he has a lot of things to bring.

Small quilts, small swaddling babies, small clothes, diapers, milk powder, prickly heat powder...everything you can use, you can't miss it.

As for Zhao Wenmu, Zhao Jing, Zhao Xin and Zheng Guangming, they hardly brought any luggage.

Zhao Wenmu took all the money in the family.

A total of 20600 pieces!
I was thinking about seeing if I could buy a courtyard house or something.

He didn't know how much a courtyard house in the 80s cost, and it wasn't expensive in his mind.

He knows exactly how valuable the quadrangle courtyard will be in the future, it can cost hundreds of millions or billions, and the key is that there is no market for the price.

Buy a few sets and throw them away, and after 20 years, you will be free of wealth directly!

The power of the times is so great.

If you step on the right rhythm, you can lie down and win!
The train was noisy and crowded, but when they lay down in the sleeping car and closed the compartment door, they were cut off from the outside world.

Although the hard sleeper is not very comfortable, the noise of the train is very loud, and it keeps shaking, but we are all people who have suffered, so this condition is already very comfortable.

It's just that Zhao Xin may really have never suffered.

But the little girl was also excited and curious along the way, and she didn't complain about anything.

The little girl opened her big eyes like black grapes along the way, looking at everything around her curiously, she was not noisy, she was very well-behaved.

Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing let go of their worries.

Although it is a sleeper car, from time to time someone will come to ask if you want to buy this car?buy that?
Some were conductors on trains.

More are some hawkers doing business.

Especially when every station stops, someone will come up to sell things.

At present, the time for trains to stop at the station is generally relatively long, unlike the two or three minutes that the EMUs of later generations usually stop at the station.

The conductor finds out and drives them off, but as soon as the conductor leaves, they pop up again.

There are also many thieves, especially in hard-seat cars.

At present, it takes more than ten or dozens of hours for a train to travel without moving, and it takes even six or seven days for Qilu to go south to Hainan.

The thieves are easy to get, and they usually do it before the train stops. Once they get it, they get off the train or give it to their accomplices waiting at this station.

Hawkers and thieves are like mice, constantly playing hide-and-seek games with conductors and policemen.

Don't think there are no thieves in sleeper cars.

It is also a hotspot for theft.

After all, people who can afford to sit in a sleeper car are generally of status.

There is also a lot of money on the body.

When you are away from home, it is very important not to reveal your wealth.

Fortunately, Zhao Wenmu and the others closed the compartment door, and they were cut off from the outside world. He and Zheng Guangming slept on the lower bunk, and if someone entered at night uninvited, they couldn't escape their ears.

At least he can't escape Zheng Guangming's!
At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the train stopped at Texas, er, Texas Station.

Zhao Jing was breastfeeding her little girl in the cubicle.

Zhao Wenmu and Zheng Guangming were sitting on a small stool outside the cubicle chatting.

"Brother Zheng, what is that bulging waist?"

Zhao Wenmu also just noticed that Zheng Guangming seemed to have something in his waist.

It was more obvious when he sat down, otherwise he really didn't notice it.

Zheng Guangming smiled.

He took out a certificate and a letter of introduction from his pocket.

Zhao Wenmu took it, only glanced at it, and handed it back.

Also gave a thumbs up.

On the cover of the red cover of the certificate, "Qilu Province's public gun certificate" is impressively written, and the letter of introduction also begins with the Pingyang County Public Security Bureau.

I have to say that the sense of security in my heart suddenly soared.

Zhao Wenmu blushed a little when he thought of pecking at Wang Shunbao's chicken.

Like the three Wang brothers, the one hand in front of him is more than enough.

At this moment, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child walked over here.

"Comrade, do you want some eggs and pancakes?"

The child said in a low voice.

In her hand she carried a basket, which was covered with a calico so that the contents could not be seen.

Looks tense.

Zhao Wenmu was quite surprised. He knew that there were many children begging and selling things near the railway station in later generations, some of them were disabled, and most of them were controlled by criminal gangs.

Even physical disabilities are man-made.

Many children were actually abducted by human traffickers.

Could it be the same with this little girl, did this crime start so early?
"Little girl, how much is an egg?"

"1 cents each."

The little girl replied timidly.

Zhao Wenmu reached out and lifted a corner of the cloth, and saw some eggs and pancakes in the basket.

At the moment, they are all local eggs, which are relatively small, and there are about 8 eggs per catty.

A catty of eggs is about 6 cents.

That is to say, she can earn 6 cents for a catty of eggs.

"Little girl, why are you selling eggs on the train?"

Zhao Wenmu asked softly.

Who knew that when the little girl heard what he said, she immediately covered the cloth back, and said with some fear:

"Brother, don't call the conductor, I'm leaving now."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, feeling a little like running away.

Zhao Wenmu was a little dumbfounded.

Did the other party regard himself as an enthusiastic group of people who wanted to report to the conductor?
"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to report you."

He quickly lowered his voice and shouted, and then added:
"You give me ten eggs first."

As he said that, he took out the money.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then turned around and came back.

There were only twelve or thirteen eggs in the basket, and ten of them were sold at once, and she seemed very happy.

"Little girl, how many eggs can you sell a day?"

"When it is more, it is fifteen or six, and when it is less, it is six or seven."

Zhao Wenmu bought so many eggs all at once, and the little girl talked a lot.

"Where are the pancakes?"

"We can sell more than a dozen pancakes a day."

Zhao Wenmu calculated a little in his heart, on average, he can earn about 1 yuan a day.

Not too much, not too little.

"Sometimes when caught by the marshals, things will be confiscated."

The little girl added pitifully.

Well, it seems that 1 yuan a day is useless.

Zhao Wenmu noticed during the day that there were many hawkers selling eggs and food in the station, some of them were children like her.

"Why do you sell things on the train?"

"My father is a road maintenance worker here. He was injured in an accident some time ago, so I came to sell some food to subsidize the family."

The little girl said with red eyes.

"Many of the children who sell things are the children of railway employees. The uncles and aunts at the station will turn a blind eye to us when they see us, but they will still take care of them if someone reports it."

Speaking of this, the little girl was even more aggrieved.

It seems that there is no shortage of losses.

If you think about it, there are many people who claim to be enthusiastic, nosy, and small reports.

He sticks out his tongue and wags his tail for praise every day.

What's more, there are many times when peers fry each other.

But fortunately, there are staff at the station to take care of them, which is much better than those helpless hawkers.

"Little girl, let me teach you a trick. Try it and you will surely be able to sell more eggs."

Meeting is fate, seeing the other party's poor background, Zhao Wenmu casually dialed a few words.

"After you boil the eggs in a pot under cold water, run them through the cold water, and then knock out some cracks in the shells of the eggs."

"Boil another pot of water, add dark soy sauce, star anise, tea leaves, dried chili, cinnamon, salt, and then put the eggs in and boil for ten minutes to ensure the taste is even better."

In fact, it is the simplest spiced tea egg.

The little girl listened with gusto.

Many people at the station sell boiled eggs. After all, there are only a few foods that are convenient to carry at the moment.

Her eggs did not sell well.

Even so, selling eggs earns more than pancakes.

"Big brother, what's the name of this egg?"

"It's called five-spice tea... or five-spice marinated eggs."

The name Tea Egg is so distinctive that it is easy to be imitated. If it is only braised egg, the little girl may be able to earn more time and money.

"Thank you, big brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Wenmu."

Zhao Wenmu said with a smile.

"Big brother, my name is Bai Fanglu."

The little girl bowed to him, then turned around and got out of the car.

What Zhao Wenmu didn't know was that the little girl Bai Fanglu not only made tea eggs in the future, but also improved various tea eggs.

There are printed tea eggs, rose tea eggs, soft-boiled tea eggs, braised tea eggs...

Brutely turned a small tea egg into a big business, and even made it overseas, making it another Texas.

At the beginning, she named the tea eggs "Little Braised Eggs".

But with more and more diners, people still spontaneously call this kind of eggs "tea eggs".

People say that Bai Fanglu is the inventor and No.1 of "tea eggs".

At this time, she would smile and say that the inventor of the tea eggs was not herself, but a brother named Zhao Wenmu.

It was not until many years later that the two met again.

At this time, her business scope is not only tea eggs, but also all kinds of snacks.

"Fang Lu, I just gave you some ideas. It is you who really make the tea eggs and let them enter thousands of households."

"So, you are the inventor of tea eggs."

Zhao Wenmu said so.

Bai Fanglu shook his head.

"Brother Zhao, making tea eggs is the most precious gift I have ever received in my life. Without it, I would not be where I am today."

"No matter when, you are the inventor of tea eggs."

Before leaving, Bai Fanglu gave Zhao Wenmu a box of special tea eggs.

When I opened it, five tea eggs were neatly placed in a small delicate box.

The tea eggs are ordinary, and there is nothing special about them.

However, when the shell is peeled off, there are lifelike portraits of Zhao Wenmu's family of five inside.

It is Bai Fanglu's newly developed transparent engraved tea eggs, which use natural dyes, which are absolutely non-toxic and harmless.

Both food and art.

　The plot is fictitious, don't take it seriously.Tea eggs were not rare as early as the Qing Dynasty, and the inventor is said to be Fang Lu of the Shang Dynasty, which has a long history.
