Here too, people are crowded, people are bumping into each other, packages are piled on top of each other, and woven bags are pressed against snakeskin bags.
The whole hall was noisy and full of dialects from all over the country.
The air here is turbid and the smell is strong.
There was no ban on talking during this period. On the contrary, it was still a fashion to always hold a cigarette between your fingers.
Many people smoke openly in the lobby, which is fine.
What's even more frightening is that there are some old farmers holding dry tobacco pipes more than one foot in their hands, and they keep clicking...
The smell of dry smoke spitting out from their mouths has a smoking effect on others, which can be called nuclear weapons level.
It makes people sick to hear it.
Some people put a huge package in their arms for fear that thieves will steal their belongings.
Some people sit in chairs and doze off constantly, but they dare not fall asleep.
Just because during this period, Yangcheng Railway Station was famous for its rampant thieves, and it was really difficult to guard against them.
Others sat there and started peeling eggs to eat.
Next to him, there was an unkempt young woman. She lifted up her clothes with just a brush and breastfed the baby in her arms.
After a while, the young woman carried the child again and gave him poop and pee...
After she finished peeing the baby, there was a pool of yellow, white... something indescribable on the ground.
So the woman pulled out another dirty diaper and began to squat down and wipe the puddle of garbage on the floor.
It's really disgusting...
After finally waiting for the train to arrive at the station, the staff at the train station opened the gate and started checking tickets.
It was quite crowded at the ticket gate again.
Countless people are too anxious to return home, and they carry large and numerous luggage.
A large group of people rushed toward the ticket gate without any order. You can imagine how crowded it was.
Some older girls who were weak were even pushed out of the queue and fell to the side, crying anxiously...
In the end, Luo Xuan used his mind power to force her into the queue.
The girl who did it was confused, and she didn't know where the magical power that was suddenly exerted on her came from.
If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand.
But this girl didn't dare to say it. If she did, no one might hear her, and even if she did, no one would believe her.
Wait until everyone got on the train in a panic.
It was extremely hot and stuffy in the green train carriage parked under the scorching sun.
Even sitting still, my whole body was dripping with sweat.
What's more, all passengers have to find their own seats, place their luggage, and compete with others for space on the luggage rack.
It was chaotic and noisy for a while.
This one stepped on someone else's foot, and that one squeezed someone else's waist.
It was like sardines packed into a can, and everyone was in a bad mood.
Plus, it was stuffy and hot in the car.
Everyone's temper became extremely irritable.
In such a crowded aisle, several fights broke out.
The order at the scene was chaotic and no one was in charge.
The flight attendants in the carriage had long gone to the dining car to blow out the cold air. How could they care about such nonsense?
Others were noisy and fighting there.
Even a group of people from the furniture factory, including some employees, had physical conflicts with other tourists.
Fortunately, the furniture factory workers bought group tickets, so about 20 people were all in the same carriage.
When they see their colleagues having conflicts with others, all they need to do is stand up from their seats and ask: What's going on?
How to explain?!
The other party could tell immediately that something was wrong, and then quickly stopped...
It was really too crowded inside the carriage.
If there is a seat for two people, the passenger without a seat in the aisle next to him will try his best to hit half of his butt.
Once he gets his butt firmly established, these people will use the method of nibbling, squeezing in bit by bit...
After a while, it seemed that this seat was a natural fit for three people.
It's as if this passenger who came to occupy a seat should have been sitting there...
After everyone had finished their hard work, the train finally started, and waves of hot air blew in through the windows.
This made the air in the entire car much fresher.
We went shopping for food as the train gradually left Yangcheng.
Many employees of the furniture factory were lying on the car windows, looking greedily at the bustling southern city outside.
Each individual looks so small and humble in front of such a reinforced concrete behemoth.
Some employees secretly felt cruel: "This time I came out, I really saw the world. From now on, I must let my child study hard and let him go out to travel all over the world."
Some employees are also timid, "The world outside is so complicated. I just hope that my children will live in peace for the rest of their lives. I just want to work hard in Saibei and make money at work."
Hu Yinjiao, who had received several injections, smiled, "I'm not like you. I just hope that my child will follow Director Luo from now on! As long as Director Luo doesn't mind, my child can do whatever he wants!"
The furniture factory workers suddenly realized, "That's right! Why didn't we think of it? It doesn't matter whether he goes up to the sky to catch the moon or goes down to the five oceans to catch turtles... Just do what Hu Yin said and let our children follow Luo.
If the director leaves, won’t it be over?”
"That's the truth! If we can learn something from Director Luo, our child will still worry that he has no future in the future? He is close to death at 70%..."
"Soda, melon seeds, cigarettes, drinks, liquor, eggs, peanuts... Hey, comrade, please put your feet back..."
"Here are the lunch boxes, the last lunch box provided at noon today! Comrades who need to eat, please prepare food stamps and change in advance!"
Li Na is a very good eater but never gains weight. Smelling the fragrant lunch box, Li Na asked: "How much does it cost per serving?"
The salesperson stopped the cart and said, "One meat and one vegetable, 5 cents. Two meat and two vegetables, 6 cents. How about one, comrade?"
Li Na took out the money and said, "Then two...no, three lunch boxes with two meat and two vegetables. Sister Hu Yin, you worked hard when we queued to enter the waiting hall... Hehe, let me treat you to a meal."
Hu Yin blushed: This little girl, turns out she has some tricks up her sleeve?
Luo Xuan was also surprised: It turns out that Li Na doesn't understand, is she deliberately teasing me?
See through, don’t tell.
This little girl knows how to love people...
"Gudong——"
"Gudong——"
Other employees of the furniture factory who were sitting together saw Li Na buying some food, and many of them gulped secretly.
Many people opened their bags one after another and took out the hard-boiled eggs they had bought a long time ago, preparing to make do with a meal.
Although they are employees of a furniture factory, they have a stable salary income.
But overall, Saibei is still very poor.
Even these paid furniture factory workers are reluctant to spend money.
In their concept: when you go out, you should save more and eat less.
Then the money saved is enough for the family to buy 2 kilograms of millet.
Using 2 pounds of millet to make porridge is enough for the whole family to have a delicious meal!
"Let's all have a portion of two meat and two vegetarian dishes!"
Luo Xuan took out 6 kilograms of "National Food Stamps" and handed 20 yuan to the salesperson, "From the front to us, the two rows of seats on the left and right are all comrades from our factory. Please nod your head and give them one."
A box lunch.”
The salesperson was overjoyed!
This is not because he can sell 20 lunch boxes at once and it seems like he can make a penny.
During this period, dining cars and sales clerks on trains were not outsourced.
So no matter which time I go out to sell food, how much I can sell in the end has nothing to do with the salesperson's income.
However, in these two rows of seats, 20 box lunches can be sold at once, which can greatly reduce the workload of the salesperson.
Under the sun,
I'm afraid no one wants to push a trolley back and forth through crowded aisles. It's a technical job.
It is also a hard job that tests physical strength.
Now it’s okay, let’s do wholesale!
How cool!
"Comrade, 20 yuan is not enough."
Overjoyed, the salesperson's service attitude also improved: "20 lunch boxes cost a total of 13 yuan and 9 cents. In addition, a deposit of 1 yuan is required for each lunch box."
After hearing what the salesperson said, Luo Xuan understood: It turned out that during this period, there were no disposable lunch boxes.
Therefore, the fast food sold on trains is packed in aluminum lunch boxes specially designed for railways.
The lunch boxes are sold every time.
The salesperson will charge 1 yuan from the passenger as a deposit for the lunch box.
Half an hour later, the salesperson will make a special trip to take back the lunch boxes and return the deposits to the passengers.
It's very hard to go back and forth like this.
Taking out the money, Luo Xuan gave the salesperson the deposit to top up.
Then while eating, I was thinking: Can I invest in opening a company that specializes in producing this kind of fast food lunch boxes?
Any business that can add a little bit of edge to Big Boss Tie is no small business.
Although I have no connection with the big boss of Tie Boss, I cannot pursue high profits.
But even if it’s a small profit, it can’t support the huge amount!
So what kind of materials should be used to produce fast food lunch boxes?
It is definitely not possible to use food-grade plastic because the cost is too high.
During this period, China's petrochemical industry was not that developed, and the total annual plastic output was only 180,000 tons.
In later generations, plastic bags are despised by everyone.
At this time, repayment is extremely expensive, and the price is also exorbitant.
And plastic is used as a material for making fast food lunch boxes.
It is convenient, but its degradation cycle is too long. For a super-sized country like China, even on average, each person only throws away one plastic lunch box a year.
That will definitely cause serious environmental pollution.
Since plastic is used, it is not feasible to make fast food lunch boxes.
In fact, it is not possible to use aluminum products.
One is that the cost is too high.
Second, long-term use of aluminum products as heating tableware is actually harmful to the body.
After thinking for a long time, Luo Xuan was still a little undecided.
"Director Luo, what are you thinking about?"
Hu Yin asked, "Director, I see you are very preoccupied even after eating. Are you thinking that we have eaten so many lunches this time and it will be difficult to settle the bill when we get back?"
Hearing this, other furniture factory workers had expressions of injustice on their faces.
Someone said: "There are too many people suffering from pink eye in our poor place! I heard that every month, Zhimi County receives dozens of letters reporting on Director Luo."
Some people nodded, "Yes! They saw that Director Luo was young and promising, and the transportation service agency and furniture factory he founded were prosperous.
Those gray kudzu cannons write denunciation letters with red eyes every day... what a fool!
Director Luo makes everyone’s life better and better, isn’t that a good thing? He’s also jealous of our Director Luo... he’s just like an animal!”
Some employees are kind-hearted and say, "Well, comrades, let's pay for it ourselves and don't embarrass Director Luo."
Hearing the discussions of the employees, Luo Xuan waved his hand, "Someone wrote a letter of complaint to the county, saying that I poached the public and enriched my own pockets.
They also said that if I didn’t pay attention to the impact, there might be problems with the style of men and women... I know all these things.”
"But, that's not what I'm thinking about right now. It's not that I'll treat you to a meal and I won't be able to pay the bill when I get back."
Luo Xuan explained, "Because there is no need to pay for this meal at all. It is treated as a personal treat for you... Even if they want to report me, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a reason."
I heard that Director Luo paid for this meal out of his own pocket and treated everyone to it.
The young men and women workers in the furniture factory were even more moved.
Gritting his teeth directly, he greeted those despicable guys who secretly reported everyone's beloved Director Luo to all 18 generations of their ancestors...
The employees were there, greeting the villains with all kinds of vicious words, and secretly reporting on them.
Luo Xuan looked at the bamboo forest passing by outside the car window, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: Use bamboo to produce special lunch boxes for trains?
As long as the shape is done well and leakage prevention is taken care of.
That should work!
What's more important is that the bamboo used to produce this kind of fast food lunch box requires a larger and denser bamboo variety.
For example, Nanzhu and moso bamboo are very common in Bashu.
Especially Nanzhu.
If planted well, this bamboo variety is very adaptable and can grow quickly as long as it is in a warm and humid environment.
Farmyard manure only needs to be applied twice a year.
With proper management, it only takes half a year for the bamboo to grow from bamboo shoots to being ready for cutting.
If you want to cut bamboo with a flesh wall as thick as a finger into a cylindrical multi-layered lunch box, you only need to design a special simple machine tool.
All that's left is to remove green and raw materials and deal with leakage.
The technical requirements for producing this kind of thing are not high and can be solved by ordinary township and village enterprises.
The difficult thing is how to be creative and make its appearance and style more refined and better-looking.
The most critical factor affecting production costs is the source and transportation of raw materials.
According to Luo Xuan's estimation: wait until this simple bamboo fast food lunch box is put on the market.
Many imitators will emerge.
Perhaps at the beginning, they could not only source local materials, but also have transportation costs for bamboo and moso bamboo, as well as raw material procurement costs.
Can be controlled very well.
But as time goes by, and the scale of processing expands.
It will become increasingly difficult to obtain low-cost raw materials.
When the easy-to-cut bamboo forests around the processing plant gradually disappear, they will inevitably need to transport bamboo from far away.
As a result, their production costs cannot be too low.
Therefore, if you want to have a long-term competitive advantage, you must give priority to cost factors.
Then plan ahead and start planting bamboos early.
Continuously cutting down and replanting dozens of hills form a virtuous cycle.
In this case, other manufacturers can only maintain a short-term draw when competing with themselves.
As time goes by, their costs will inevitably increase...
Then do it!
Even if we produce bamboo fast food lunch boxes, it will not bring much economic benefits to the production enterprises.
But it can make the local production team rich, and can lead to employment and income increase for many uncultured and low-skilled production team members.
This kind of thing is the best and large-scale industry for the Lao Village!
Looking out the car window, I could see the bamboo forest passing by occasionally.
Luo Xuan was thinking: Over the years, he has only taken away funds and raw materials from the Lao village.
Now, it's time to repay others.
Especially Lao Min and Lao Dao.
Over the years, whenever I need financial support, others will remit money at any time without any conditions.
Now that we have this condition and this idea, it's time to repay them...
