Chapter 79 Freight Business
A medium-sized freight magic locomotive is speeding down the road from Norton City to Karamay City.
Speeds of more than 40 kilometers per hour can only be regarded as low speed on earth, but in a world where horse-drawn carriages are still the main means of transportation, it is already extremely fast.
Feeling the trees on both sides of the road constantly retreating at high speed, Batru's hands gripping the steering wheel a little harder, his eyes were firmly fixed on the front of the road, and he didn't dare to relax a little.
Sacki on the side looked at Batru's nervous appearance, heheed, and sneered: "I said Batru, why are you so nervous? It's not fast at all now, what are you afraid of?"
Batru's eyes were still staring at the front of the road and he didn't dare to turn his head, but he still took a sip and said angrily: "Nonsense, I haven't only gotten my driver's license for a few days, of course I'm nervous." ”
Sackchi laughed: "So I asked you to go with me to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to get a driver's license, but you still don't want to." Look at me, driving this car now is like playing, it's very easy. ”
Batru was even angrier and wanted to scold, but because of his excitement, his hand trembled, the steering wheel twisted, and the car turned sharply, almost rushing off the road.
Sacki on the side was startled, and hurriedly took action to stabilize the steering wheel, brought the car back to the road, and re-stabilized it.
Batru slowed down the speed of the car and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then took the time to glare at Sackchi viciously, and said angrily: "Don't irritate me, you see that something almost happened!"
Sackchi was also frightened this time, and he would definitely squirt back when he put it down, but now he wiped his forehead in shock. He nodded and didn't say anything.
The speed of the vehicle was maintained at a speed of no more than twenty kilometers after a steady drive for a while. Batru couldn't help but turn up the speed again.
With the experience just now. Instead, he'd found some tricks now, and instead of holding the steering wheel so nervously, he felt that the magic locomotive was a little easier to drive.
After running out of the highway for a while, Batru suddenly pursed his lips and said with emotion: "No wonder the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must require everyone who wants to stand up for a magic locomotive to rely on a driver's license, if you don't practice well, it's really easy to have problems." ”
Sackchi glanced at Batroux and noticed that his demeanor seemed to be a little more relaxed than before. I was secretly surprised in my heart, and echoed: "Yes, I didn't see that the City Lord's Mansion also promulgated the regulations on the management of magic locomotives, there are so many things that must be followed, I thought it was very troublesome at first, and after driving this car for a long time, I felt that those regulations were actually very reasonable." For example, the above stipulates that you must wear this seat belt when driving, otherwise you will be fined if you are caught. You see, if you hadn't fastened your seatbelt just now, I'm afraid people would have just thrown them out. If we don't, we're going to be in big trouble. ”
Batru nodded lightly: "Well, when I go back, I must tell those two boys about this." The two of them will soon want to get a driver's license. If you don't study hard, it's too late to regret what happened to you. ”
Sacki glanced at Batroux and smiled, "What's the matter?
"I'm scared of a fart!" said Batruul angrily. However, this time, he was angry and still able to hold the steering wheel steadily, and did not affect his driving because of emotional fluctuations.
"Okay, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, what's the shame, I was actually quite scared when I first drove this on the highway, but it's good to be familiar with it for a while. Seeing that Batru was really worried in his heart, Sackchi did not taunt him this time, but gave him a rare comfort. "Besides, if you want to make money, how can you do it without taking a little risk. You see, as long as we send this batch of goods to Karamay City, we can earn three gold coins, and we can get it in one day at the earliest, and earn more. ”
"It's just the shipping that someone else paid you, and you haven't counted the money you spent on the road, how much can you earn if you put it aside?" asked Batrou.
"It doesn't cost much on the road, at most it's just a lunch at noon. Oh, and the most expensive thing to say is the mana crystal...... Wait, I'll take a look at ......" Sakchi suddenly leaned in, glanced at a semicircular instrument panel with pointers on the bridge, and continued. "Sure enough, it's almost there, when we get to Karamay City in a while, we have to add some magic crystals, otherwise we won't be able to run back. ”
Batru took a moment to glance at the dashboard, remembering what he had learned while taking the driver's license test, and confirmed that the pointer on the instrument panel represented that the magic crystal in the power box of the magic locomotive was close to half.
"We only filled it up when we left Bunta City, right? It's only two hundred kilometers away from Karamay City, so why do we have to use it all up?" said Batrou with a frown. "In this way, if you want to run farther away, don't you have to carry a lot of magic crystals with you? ”
"It's okay, anyway, the magic crystal is cheap, and it takes a dozen or so silver coins of magic crystals for a trip, even if it is a round trip, it is not more than thirty silver coins, which is nothing at all. Sackchi waved his hand, nonchalant.
"I'm not talking about this question, I mean, after running 200 kilometers, you have to use up the magic crystals in the power box, so how did Filson Carriage and Horse Company rely on this to get goods to Telsel City, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away?" asked Batrou.
"What's there to worry about, magic crystals are sold in every city, and they can be replenished at any time. Sackchi said.
"But I learned when I was taking the driver's license test that the magic engine in the magic locomotive has high requirements for magic crystals, and if it is not for high-quality magic crystals, it will not provide enough power at all, which will affect driving a lot. And even if it is the same high-quality magic crystal, it will affect the performance of the magic locomotive due to the difference in quality games. So it's still very influential, right?"
"I don't know. Sakchi shrugged indifferently. "Anyway, we're only responsible for driving, so what's the matter. ”
Batru shook his head, his face full of doubts, but seeing that Sacki had little interest in the issue, he gave up the discussion.
The Freight Magic Locomotive continued to drive fast on the road, and after another hour, it finally arrived in Karamay City.
The goods on this cargo magic locomotive were a batch of mechanical parts that the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland had asked them to transport here, and they were to be handed over to a newly opened chamber of commerce in Karamay City, which mainly produced magic fans and magic kettles.
After entering the city of Karamay, because there were more people, Batru handed the car back to Sakchi to drive.
Driven by Sakchi's familiar car, the freight magic locomotive circled around the city for half a circle, and soon arrived at the chamber of commerce's factory outside Karamay.
It was obviously not the first time that Sakchi had come here to make deliveries, and when he saw this freight magic locomotive coming, the guards guarding the factory gate didn't even ask, and just pulled the gate open and let them in.
A middle-aged man in blue overalls walked out of the factory floor and greeted the freight magic locomotive with a smile.
"Hey, Daddy Sack, you're really fast. I sent someone to Bonta City to order three days ago, and you delivered it today. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "At your rate, I'm afraid you'll make a lot of money in a month, right?"
Sackchi laughed, "That's good. But it's a long way from you being able to earn thousands of gold coins a month by staying here like this. ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "How can there be so many, I just eat with a mouthful of food." And thankfully, no one else came to steal business from me. Otherwise, if a big chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce comes over to invest in building a factory, I guarantee that I will have to drink the northwest wind immediately. ”
Sackchi pouted: "Come on, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to grab this business with you, where will it be your turn to earn so much, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it for a long time." ”
"So I have always been very grateful to President Xu in my heart, and I am grateful to him for giving us small chambers of commerce a way to live. The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face: "Of course, this magic fan and magic kettle are all techniques learned from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." It can be said that if it weren't for President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I would still be the same as before, and I could only live a tight life by guarding those few acres of fields every day, where would I have such a good life now. ”
Daddy Sackchi looked back at Batru and smiled at him.
Of course, Batru knew that he was mocking his refusal to let go of a few acres of land, so he snorted coldly, ignored Father Sakchi, and said to the middle-aged man in a muffled voice: "President Chernov, come and count the goods, hand them over early, and we should go back early." ”
Cherno smiled and nodded, personally climbed into the back compartment of the freight magic locomotive, carefully counted the goods inside, and after confirming that the goods were in good condition, he directly took out three gold coins from his arms and handed them to Sakchi.
"Come on, Daddy Sakchi, you've worked so hard to get these goods all the way from Bunta City, and this is the freight, and you've taken it. ”
Sakchi took the gold coin, didn't look closely, put it in his pocket, and then moved the goods down with Batru, together with several workers called by Chernov.
When he was done, Father Sakchi declined President Chernov's invitation to stay with him for lunch, grabbed Batru, raised his hand and shouted: "Let's go, it's rare for you to come to Karamay City, I'll take you to the city to drink and eat some of the specialties here, I promise you like it." ”
The two of them got on the freight magic locomotive, and just drove out of the gate of this factory, they suddenly noticed a row of black shadows suddenly pouring out of the end of the road in the distance, driving in this direction.
When you look closely, it is a convoy of at least twenty freight magic locomotives. (To be continued......)
