Before the Pacific Railroad was completed, it took at least six months from New York to San Francisco, and after the Pacific Railroad was completed, this time was shortened to seven days, and it can be said that the Pacific Railroad really turned the United States into a complete country, and with the Pacific Railroad through, the United States began to enter a period of rapid development.

However, it is regrettable that after the completion of the Pacific Railway, the Chinese workers who had made great contributions to the Pacific Railway were forgotten, and on the day when the east and west sections of the railway were connected, the Chinese workers could not even participate in the celebration, that is, on the day of the completion of the Pacific Railway, the Chinese workers were collectively dismissed.

As night fell, the train entered the Sierra Nevada, known as the "Great Wall of China on the Nevada Mountains," and was said to have the bones of a Chinese laborer underneath each sleeper.

Li Mu didn't notice this fact because it was dinner time.

Because they missed lunchtime, except for Li Mu, Little Fat Man, the Yan family and Old Man Chen, almost all the officials and children of the Young Children Overseas Migrant Bureau were hungry, so this time the train had just stopped, and the officials and children of the Young Children Overseas Vocational Bureau also followed the Americans and rushed out, ready to eat on the platform.

Even if you know that it's meal time, it's not easy to eat.

Just like last time, the train only stopped for a few minutes, and in this short period of time, it was basically as much as it could grab, and if you ran slowly, you couldn't grab it at all, and it was already good to be able to mix up some leftovers.

At this time, there are no gentlemen and ladies, all the foreigners are torn their faces, in order to grab food, some people even began to round their fists to come to the full martial arts, being pushed down and squeezed down is even more common, and the scene is chaotic as if it is the end of the world.

Seeing such a scene, whoever says that foreigners are of high quality, Li Mu will be in a hurry!

In the face of the wolf-like foreigners, the officials and children of the Qing Empire still had some scruples, and did not dare to tear their faces and compete with the foreigners, so the situation was not optimistic, as far as Li Mu saw, at least half of the children did not eat, and the other half of the children only ate half full, or only a little.

When it stopped, except for Li Mu and the Yan family, only the little fat man did not move.

The little fat man's subordinates are numerous, and the people in the palace are not much afraid of foreigners, so dozens of people rushed up and still grabbed a lot of food.

But Li Mu clearly saw that while competing for food, more food was wasted, thrown on the ground and trampled around, and soon became inedible.

After the train started, two of the little fat man's servants failed to return to the carriage in time and were forgotten at this unknown station.

These two people were ordered to buy food, the quality of the meals provided at the station was not good, the amount was not enough, and it was a dream to fill the stomach, the little fat man was delicate and expensive, and he would definitely not join the ranks of the scramble, so buying became the only choice.

It's a pity that in this unfamiliar United States, I don't even understand the language, and it is easy to talk about peace when I want to buy things, but the two servants have not returned by the time of the drive, so they lost contact.

As night fell, the car lights were lit, and apart from the monotonous "clang" of the wheels passing through the rail joints, there was no more sound in the carriage, and people were already asleep.

In 1807, the Englishman William Murdoch invented the gas lamp, which replaced the kerosene lamp as the best lighting tool. Until the 21st century, the gas lamp is still not completely extinct, in outdoor conditions as a camp lighting performance is far better than all kinds of electron tube lights, ignition time is long, generally can reach more than 6 hours, high brightness, and can resist the wind below the third or fourth level, light rain weather can also be used, at the same time in the tent when used a certain dehumidification function, winter can quickly increase the temperature in the tent.

Li Mu used to go on outings a lot, of course, he was no stranger to the gas lamp, looking at the dazzling gas lamp in the middle of the carriage, thinking of life in the 21st century, Li Mu had no sleep.

Because they sailed at sea for 25 days in a row, there was no such phenomenon of "jet lag" in Li Mu and their bodies, and like other children, Li Mu did not feel the slightest discomfort, nor did he feel tired to death.

After all, it was still late, and listening to the snoring sound from which corner, Li Mu also began to fall asleep half-asleep and half-awake.

Suddenly, a sound of sobbing woke Li Mu, Li Mu got up and looked around, and found that the sobbing sound came from the carriage where the children were riding.

Walking to the junction of the carriages, Li Mu found that Li Mu was not the only one who was awakened by the sound of sobbing.

When Li Mu walked to the junction of the carriage, he saw that almost all the officials had not rested, including Old Man Chen, who were busy comforting the children who could not sleep because of hunger.

The children did not eat enough during the day, it is the time to grow their bodies, the children need special nutrition, and they can endure it during the day, and at this time, a considerable number of children are hungry and unbearable, and finally can't help crying.

And crying is a contagious emotion, as long as one child cries, soon other children will follow suit, and the end result is crying one after another.

This situation simply made Old Man Chen and them at a loss, and they turned over and over again to "endure it" and "wait for tomorrow", but there was no specific way.

These are all the "pillars of the Qing Empire", and the imperial court attaches great importance to these children, and Li Zhongtang is still standing behind these children.

It's okay to endure it for a short time, but it's a full seven days of walking from San Francisco to Springfield, and this is only the first day, and I'm hungry like this, and if I survive until the seventh day, I don't know what will happen.

Thinking of this, Old Man Chen subconsciously thought of the beef and pancakes that Li Mu ordered to be sent over during the day, those foods that usually look like they can even be called vulgar, but in the eyes of Old Man Chen at this time, they are also delicious, but it is a pity that thinking of Li Mu's money skewers, Old Man Chen subconsciously shook his head, Li Mu sent food to Old Man Chen so that Old Man Chen would not be difficult for him in the future, if Li Mu was asked to distribute those food to these children, I don't know what Li Mu wants to ask too much.

But it doesn't seem like it's okay not to go to Li Mu, there is still most of the night to stay up, and it's still early in the morning, if you don't sleep well tonight, you won't have the energy to grab food with those foreigners tomorrow.

I can't say that I have to endure Li Mu's exploitation of the money strings-

Just when Old Man Chen was very entangled, the door of the carriage was gently pushed open, and Miss Ten Thousand and her mother walked into the carriage with a plate of flatbread that had been wrapped in beef, and distributed them to the crying children one by one.

Old man Chen immediately forgot all the hatefulness that Li Mu had been, twisted his beard and nodded with a smile: The children can be taught, and the children can be taught!
