Chapter 39: Chaos at the Railway Station
There were a lot of people in the carriage, and Wei Mingrang and Ling Shiyao could only sit in their own seats, and they couldn't sleep alone in three seats like some empty cars.
It was already past 22 o'clock when I got on the train, the train started, I watched the night scene for a while, and then after chatting for a while, the whole carriage gradually quieted down, and everyone began to sleep.
Ling Shiyao rushed from Fenggang to Zunyi, a little farther away than Wei Mingrang, and had more luggage, more tired than Wei Mingrang, and wanted to sleep more.
Fortunately, Ling Shiyao's seat was against the window, she could lean against the wall of the carriage and doze off, while Wei Mingrang could only sleep on the seat.
There was no word at night, and basically everyone in the carriage was half-asleep and exhausted.
After 6 o'clock in the morning on September 9, the train finally arrived at Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station, Wei Mingrang helped Ling Shiyao carry her luggage, and the two of them squeezed out of the platform with the crowd in embarrassment and came to the square in front of Caiyuanba Railway Station.
There are several reception desks for new students at several universities in the square, holding banners to welcome new students, and they can take the school bus to the school for free with the admission letter to report.
However, because the University of Technology and Business will only start reporting tomorrow, there is no reception for new students of the University of Technology on the square now, and there is no senior sister in charge of the reception, so Wei Mingrang and Ling Shiyao have to solve the traffic problem by themselves.
Seeing that there was a breakfast shop on the side of the square, Ling Shiyao said: "Let's go have some breakfast, I must treat you this time!"
Wei Ming invited her to dinner yesterday, and he has been helping her share her luggage, and at night, Wei Ming let this alumnus be by his side so that she can sleep a little more soundly.
Otherwise, she is a girl, and she is going out by train for the first time, and she is afraid that she will not dare to sleep all night.
Wei Mingrang understood her psychology and nodded, "Okay." ”
Hearing Wei Mingrang's promise, Ling Shiyao was very happy and walked towards a small noodle shop first.
It stands to reason that this is the time for breakfast, and it is a lively place like the train station square, so there should be a lot of people in the store.
But in fact, Wei Mingrang found that there was no one in the store.
Seeing two guests enter the door, a fat boss in his 40s stood up and greeted warmly: "Two of you have breakfast, you can order whatever you want to eat, and ensure that the taste is to your taste." ”
Wei Mingrang frowned, and was about to ask Ling Shiyao to leave, but Ling Shiyao had already said to the boss: "Boss, cook us two bowls of noodles." ”
The boss answered, and was about to turn around and go back to the back kitchen to cook, but Wei Mingrang immediately asked, "Boss, how much are these two bowls of noodles?"
Ling Shiyao glanced at Wei Mingrang strangely, pointed to the small blackboard hanging on the wall and the price list written on it, and said, "6 yuan, isn't it written on it, 3 yuan a bowl?"
Wei Mingrang smiled at Ling Shiyao and asked the boss again, "Boss, how much are two bowls?"
The boss looked at Wei Mingrang fixedly, and Wei Mingrang looked at him for a moment without fear. Then, the fat boss said coldly: "6 yuan." ”
As he spoke, the boss had lost the enthusiasm he had just greeted the two of them, ignored the two of them, and turned around to cook noodles.
Ling Shiyao sensed that something was wrong, but she was still a little inexplicable, and followed Wei Mingrang to find a seat and sit down and asked, "What happened just now?"
Wei Ming asked the boss to cook noodles in the back kitchen, but didn't pay attention to them, Wei Ming got up and gently turned over the price list hanging on the wall for Ling Shiyao to see.
Looking at the price list that was turned over, Ling Shiyao was dumbfounded, and was about to say something, Wei Mingrang had already turned the price list back, and then gave her a "shhh" and asked her not to make a sound.
Ling Shiyao came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the back kitchen, the fat boss didn't notice their movements, she lowered her voice in shock, and asked with a little panic, "Is this a black shop?"
Wei Mingrang nodded softly and said, "Dominate single outsiders, especially women." It's not just here, it's the same at most stations across the country. So, next time you don't eat or buy near the train or bus station alone, and leave a place far away. ”
Ling Shiyao patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, with you, this price is too appalling." ”
Wei Mingrang nodded.
Actually, these people won't be around for long.
With the passage of time, railway stations and bus stations across the country will become more and more formal, the police will be stationed in the station square, the special police patrol, and the phenomenon of stealing customers will become increasingly rare.
No matter what, China is always developing in a good direction.
After eating the noodles, Ling Shiyao paid 6 yuan, and then saw that the boss had a phone and a sign on the wall with the slogan "public phone", so she asked the boss, "Can you call your phone?"
The fat man nodded, "Yes." ”
Hearing that the phone was available, Ling Shiyao was about to walk over and pick up the phone to call, but Wei Mingrang stopped her and said, "Don't be busy, ask the price first." ”
Then, Wei Mingrang asked the fat man again: "How much is your phone per minute? Is there a start-up fee? Is it money if the phone doesn't get through?"
Hearing Wei Mingrang ask like this, Ling Shiyao had a little reminiscence: she was almost slaughtered again.
The fat boss glared at Wei Mingrang stiffly, and saw that Wei Mingrang was not afraid, and said helplessly: "5 cents in the city, 1 yuan for long-distance distance, no start-up fee, and the phone is not counted as money, okay?"
Wei Mingrang nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Ling Shiyao: "It's okay, you go fight." ”
Ling Shiyao looked at Wei Mingrang with some admiration for two seconds, and then turned around and picked up the phone to call her sister, and only after asking the address and which bus to take before putting down the phone.
In total, the call lasted more than 1 minute, and it was only one yuan.
However, Wei Mingrang saw with his own eyes in his previous life that a non-local student played for 2 minutes, but spent 20 yuan for the so-called start-up fee, and 10 yuan for a minute of long-distance fees, a total of 50 yuan.
That's why Wei Mingrang asked this question before, so as not to be slaughtered after the fight.
After Ling Shiyao finished calling, Wei Mingrang also called Guan Bin's house and asked him to tell his mother that he had arrived in Chongqing safely.
After paying the phone bill, the two left the square with their luggage, found the bus stop, and got on the same bus.
Because the place where Ling Shiyao's eldest sister is located is in Nanping, and the place where Chongqing Technology and Business University is located is five kilometers (place name), Nanping is halfway from the railway station to five kilometers.
So two people can ride on the same bus.
When they arrived in Nanping, Ling Shiyao and Wei Mingrang, who exchanged QQ numbers, said goodbye and got off the bus with her two bags of luggage, while Wei Mingrang continued to travel five kilometers.
When passing by the gate of Chongqing University of Technology and Commerce, which is five kilometers away from Xuefu Avenue, Wei Mingrang did not get out of the car, but continued to walk about 500 meters, and sat at the intersection of Orchid Lake, which was still relatively desolate, before getting out of the car.
This year's freshmen of Chongqing Technology and Business University have to report, move in, and attend classes in the new campus of Orchid Lake, and they will not change to the old campus until their sophomore year.
And Wei Ming made the previous life like most people realize that the wasted and missed business opportunities were caused by the fact that the new campus of Orchid Lake had just been built, the living facilities were not perfect, and the supermarket that had been settled in but had not opened in time was caused.
