The train of the early 90s is a painful existence in many people's memories.

Because its conditions are so bad!

From Hongcheng to the imperial capital, the driving time was close to 40 hours, the journey was 32 hours after the speed increase in 1996, and the speed was increased again in 1999 to barely enter 24 hours.

In 1992, the train from Hongcheng to Shanghai took more than 20 hours.

You can compare 2019, which are also sleeper ordinary express trains, and the running time of these two lines is only a little more than 10 hours.

The train that Chen Wen took this time departed from Hongcheng at 4:30 p.m. and arrived in Shanghai at nearly 8 a.m. the next morning.

The starting station is Hongcheng Old Railway Station, and the terminal station is Hushi Old Railway Station.

As for Hongcheng West Railway Station and Hushi South Railway Station, they did not exist in 1992.

---------------------------------

Chen Wen bought a large bag of steamed buns and two large pieces of mustard head.

At this time, Hongcheng did not have shredded mustard in small bags, and what could be bought was the kind of large mustard head soaked in the vegetable jar.

This kind of mustard head, you need to cut it into shreds yourself, or cold dressing, or stir-fry vegetables when you buy it home.

Chen Wen was too lazy to cut it himself, so he gnawed it directly to help swallow steamed buns.

Don't think about instant noodles.

First of all, there were no boxed instant noodles on the market at this time.

(There are some rebirth novels where the protagonist goes back to 1993 and builds a bunch of businesses in which instant noodle factories make a lot of money for him.) ）

Even if you buy a bag of instant noodles, there is almost no condition for you to soak them on the train.

Is there a boiling water device at the junction of the carriage?

Don't be funny, how can there be such advanced conditions.

At this time, the green car group took the dining car as the dividing line, and one of the cars of the sleeper car group and one of the cars of the hard seat car group were each equipped with a boiler to boil water.

The boiler room was locked for a long time, and every once in a while, the flight attendant opened the lock, carried a large iron kettle, filled a pot of boiling water, and then filled the passengers' teacups with water from car to car.

Regardless of whether the boiler is boiling water or not, even if the flight attendants take the freshly boiled water, by the time they carry the kettle through several carriages and come to you, I'm afraid the kettle will already be warm in the kettle.

The water temperature is not enough.

You can only dry nibble on the dough and sprinkle it with seasoning.

--------------------------------

Chen Wen bought a sleeper ticket, more than 90 yuan.

It's nearly twice as expensive as a hard-seat ticket.

Chen Wen is really distressed, the difference can buy more than one fortune certificate!

The ticket price is expensive, and it is still worth it in Chen Wen's heart, for safety.

The safety index of the hard-seat carriage is really reassuring.

Chen Wen had one and a half 10,000 yuan wrapped around his waist.

There is still 14,090 left in the money from the sale of the establishment.

Mother entrusted Uncle Ji to hand over Chen Wen's birthday gift, as well as next month's living expenses, two hundred.

Uncle Ji lent Chen Wen five hundred.

That's 15,600 bucks!

A warrant costs 30 yuan, and Chen Wen can buy 520 tickets, but this is a theoretical amount.

To return to Hongcheng, a sleeper train ticket costs nearly 100 yuan, and a hard seat ticket costs 50 yuan.

Chen Wen plans to stay in Shanghai for a while, and I don't know how long he stays, but daily expenses are necessary.

Chen Wen wants to make some quick money in the Shanghai market, try to buy a few subscription warrants, whether he can make money, Chen Wen doesn't know.

Chen Wen also wanted to visit Su Qianqian, which was something that had to cost money.

In the end, Chen Wen thought about it, took 15,000 yuan to buy 500 subscription warrants, and kept 600 yuan of activity funds on himself.

On the day of the expiration date of the warrant, no matter how much money you still have, leave 100 yuan for the journey, and buy the rest of the warrant.

For dinner, Chen Wen killed four steamed buns and a mustard head and climbed into the middle bunk.

--------------------------------

It was another good night's sleep, the sleeper car was really safe, and no passengers were unlucky.

At dawn, Chen Wen woke up.

Go to the toilet, wash your face, rinse your mouth.

Chen Wen sat on the folding stool in the aisle next to the bunk, ate two steamed buns, nibbled a few mouthfuls of mustard head, and poured half a teapot of warm boiled water.

On January 15, less than eight o'clock, the train arrived at Shanghai Railway Station on time.

Chen Wen put on the military quilt on his back, carried a bucket bag on one shoulder, and got out of the car in order with the flow of people.

As soon as I stepped onto the platform, I heard a woman's shout.

"There's a thief, there's a thief, you help me get him out, my money! Oh my God!"

At the door of a hard-seat carriage, there were two railway police officers and a conductor, a middle-aged woman shouting in front of them, and several people with luggage standing or squatting, gathering in front of the police.

Chen Wen followed the flow of people to the exit of the station, just passing by them.

In the lanes on both sides of the platform, two trains of trains that have just entered the station are parked, and passengers on both sides get off the train at the same time and enter the station.

Chen Wen and Wen did not develop the habit of watching and joining in the fun, but today he had to watch for a while.

It was really because the crowd was too dense to go fast, so Chen Wen followed hundreds of travelers, slowly walking towards the exit step by step, passively listening to the general situation.

In the wee hours of the morning, a hard-seat carriage was burglarized!

At least five or six travelers' money was stolen.

In the hours leading up to arrival, conductors and police officers worked hard in the carriages hoping that passengers would provide information about the criminals, but sadly no passengers came forward to provide clues.

Maybe the thieves had already gotten off at the station in front of them, or maybe they were still in the middle of the carriage, and in any case none of the passengers wanted to identify them, or even all of them chose to keep silent.

When passing by the victims, Chen Wen saw that their clothes or pants were cut by blades.

One of them had his clothes cut across his abdomen, and he was supposed to hide his money in the same way as Chen Wen.

Chen Wen is not qualified to teach others, don't sit on a hard seat when you go out with money, Chen Wen can't bear to say this, and it won't be useful if you say it.

Chen Wen had walked a long way, and he could still hear the middle-aged woman's cry.

---------------------------------

Walking out of the train station, Chen Wen raised his eyes and looked around.

The appearance of the old railway station in Shanghai has a strong Republic of China style.

Chen Wen remembered the only time he came to Shanghai in his previous life, which was to arrive at the old railway station.

That time, Chen Wen wanted to visit Su Qianqian, but it was difficult to find Yirenfang.

Chen Wen took a deep breath, the first goal of coming to Shanghai this time was not to find a beauty, but to buy a fortune certificate!

Chen Wen took a big stride and walked towards the bus gathering place.
