Chapter 122: The Journey

Xu Jianshe hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Then you clean up in the next two days, and we will go to Province H as soon as possible."

Su Xiao'e nodded, and then let Xu Jianshe greet Lao Zhang.

This time I went to H Province, and Lao Zhang accompanied Su Xiao'e and them.

Because it is inter-provincial, I booked a train ticket in advance, but even so, I still have to take a train for seven or eight hours to get to the designated place.

Xu Jianshe held a large cloth bag in one hand, and grabbed Su Xiao'e's hand tightly with the other, for fear that Su Xiao'e would be lost at the train station.

At this time, the train station was still very lively, but because of the excitement, the personnel came and went very complicated, and a lot of criminal activities were carried out in this place.

Su Xiao'e has been closely following Xu Jianshe and Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang was familiar with the way, and took Xu Jianshe and Su Xiao'e past the ticket gate after a while and came to the waiting hall.

"Big brother, this train station is like this, it's just that it will be hard for you and your sister-in-law for a while."

"What are you talking about, this time I came to you for help, and we said it was you who bothered."

"You have something to use us, just say it bluntly, what's not troublesome, when you get on the train in a while, your sister-in-law can rest first, and tomorrow I will take you to find a grain seller."

Su Xiao'e shrank beside Xu Jianshe slightly, looking at everything around her with a pair of eyes.

It was her first time on a train, and it was impossible not to be excited.

She had only passed the railroad before, and she saw the train from a distance like a long queue, and it didn't take long for it to run away.

Xu Jianshe looked at Su Xiao'e, who had the cat beside him, patted his shoulder, and whispered to her:

"Wake up early this morning, you lean on my shoulder for a while."

Su Xiao'e was not polite, and directly leaned on and closed her eyes.

Now there are more than two hours before the departure time, and you can rest for a while.

Xu Jianshe put Su Xiao'e in order before continuing to chat with Lao Zhang.

"What's going on over there, tell me more about it."

"The person we are looking for is a local snake and leopard, and he has a lot of grain in his hands, but he has been raising the price, and it is still a little difficult to buy food from him."

"And where did he get his food there?"

At present, grain control is still relatively strict, and most of the grain handed over has gone to the grain management office, and a small part is in the hands of farmers, but even so, most families are only enough to eat, and they are not rich enough to sell.

And this leopard not only has food in his hands, but also a lot of it.

That's kind of interesting.

"Do you know where the food in his hands comes from?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard that he has a good relationship with the people above, so many people have to let him score three points."

When Xu Jianshe heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

Above, that's not a two-pronged black and white one-size-fits-all approach.

Such people are the hardest to mess with.

Xu Jianshe was still thinking about how to solve it, and the train radio over there sent out a message that the train they were on began to check tickets.

The current ticket inspection is still manual.

Su Xiao'e and the others took the train tickets, passed through the ticket gate, and got into the carriage where they were.

The clean and tidy appearance inside is completely different from what Su Xiao'e imagined.

It's just that the benches on both sides are still a little unexpected by Su Xiao'e.

She looked out the window at the presence of a sleeper on another train, and leaned on the window like a curious child.

"Construction, look, there's a bed on that train?"

Lao Zhang listened and smiled next to him.

"Sister-in-law, we also have beds on this train, but we didn't buy a sleeper because the time was not too long, and when we arrived, it was five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and we could find a hotel to rest, so we didn't buy a sleeper."

Su Xiao'e listened to Lao Zhang's words, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

"Well, I'm not going to sit in a sleeper, I'm just a little curious."

Xu Jianshe patted Su Xiao'e's head and said with a doting face:

"Okay, don't be curious, I'll take you to Beijing to play around in the future, and you can sit down."

Su Xiao'e listened to Xu Jianjian's words, and a smile appeared on her face.

By this time, the train had already started slowly.

Su Xiao'e also changed from excitement at the beginning to boredom later, and then took out the food in the bag.

Su Xiao'e thought of going far away, so she made a small jar of dried meat and some dried radishes temporarily.

At this time, she took out the jerky and radish and handed them to Lao Zhang opposite.

"Taste it."

Lao Zhang had long known Su Xiao'e's craftsmanship, and when he saw the jerky handed over by Su Xiao'e, he couldn't help but take a piece, and after eating it, the taste was no different from what he sold.

"Sister-in-law, your skills are really amazing, you can go and sell jerky."

"Sell?"

"Yes, I've eaten jerky sold by others a few times, and what you make tastes just as good as what they sell."

"Forget it, in this year of famine, who has the money to buy dried meat to eat."

Su Xiao'e was eating jerky here, and the people next to them couldn't help but cast envious glances.

Although people who can take the train to distant places do not lack money to buy meat, they do not bring anything delicious to the train, that is, bring some dry food, and prepare to deal with casual bites on the road.

Su Xiao'e also brought a few flatbreads that had been baked at home, and went back to eat them with pickles.

"Sister-in-law can wait for the famine year to pass, and come out on the hour to sell, it tastes good, and there are still a lot of people who buy it."

"Let's talk about it later, who knows when this drought will end."

Su Xiao'e smiled, it's not that she hasn't thought about selling food, but now in this year of famine, it's not easy to do anything.

The six or seven hours train ride is not long, but it is not short, and Su Xiao'e's legs are numb.

I got up and walked around the train car several times.

It's finally time to stop.

After getting off the train, Lao Zhang began to drive busily.

While taking Su Xiao'e and Xu Jianshe to dinner, he helped find a hotel.

Fortunately, Su Xiao'e and Xu Jianshe are not the kind of people who pay attention to food and housing, so they found a random one and lived.

When I eat, I eat a local famous dish.

The three of them came to the small restaurant, and Lao Zhang began to introduce them to the house.

"Big brother, we used to eat here every time we came here before, how about you taste the food here?"

The flavors here are mainly spicy.

Fortunately, Su Xiao'e and Xu Jianshe are usually people who are used to eating chili peppers, and after the dishes came up, the two of them could bear it.

The taste is spicy and delicious, and it goes well with rice.

Originally, because she had been on the train for a long time, Su Xiao'e had no appetite, but at this time, she was much better.

"Sister-in-law, you will rest in the hotel in a while, and my eldest brother and I will go out to meet someone."
