Volume II, Chapter 1: The Silk Road
Wu Jiuyu's front and back respects made everyone a little uncomfortable, and the old man Zhang Zhouxuan opened his mouth, and wanted to spray this old poisonous snake a few more words, but found that it was difficult to find an entry point, and it was too difficult to kill people, and everyone thought that they were toads sitting in the well and watching the sky, how else could you spray?
"Mr. Wu, don't mention the Chinese kitchen god, the noodle king or something, I'm just a chef on the train, a diligent junior, don't you kill me when you say this?"
Zhou Zhou smiled and walked out of the kitchen of the dining car: "After the Jinling Demon Capital, it will not be far away, and we will arrive at the end of this journey in two or three hours at most."
I just hope that everyone can be satisfied with the service of the dining car, by the way, our dining car is not a contract system at present, it is subject to the supervision and management of the superiors, so I hope you can say a few more good words in the opinion book of the dining car. ”
"Yes, unconsciously, this is going to the magic capital, Master Xiao Zhou, will your next shift be seven days later?"
"Yes, Master Xiao Zhou, you will definitely follow the car in seven days, right?
I've decided.,Don't go back to Jinmen for the time being.,Isn't there news that x164 will change part of the journey? It's fun! I know the skills of Chef Xiao Zhou, every time he goes to a place, he will make local flavors, and it is absolutely authentic!
Don't miss it, am I right?
It's just a little bit of Master Xiao Zhou, is this news true? ”
No matter how good Zhouzhou's cooking skills are, most passengers will not blindly follow the car, after all, there are still a few people who have money and leisure like Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan, and most people still have to continue to return to reality after ending this unforgettable journey, and they are busy running around for life.
However, there are many people who have decided to continue to follow Zhouzhou for the sake of food, and Brother Jinmen and Shawl Hair have already expressed their intention to continue to 'chase stars', although Boss Cao sat aside and did not speak, it seems that he is also a little moved, as for the old man Zhang Zhouxuan, needless to say, there is now one more Wu Jiuyu who thinks he is a 'toad'.
Nowadays, the development speed of Huaxia Railway is the world's first, and the eastern coastal areas and Central Plains provinces are all high-speed rail bullet trains, even in the southwest, southeast and northeast regions, the coverage rate of high-speed rail bullet trains and T prefixes has been close to ninety.
The route of x164 is too long, from the magic capital to Tibet have to pass through several coastal provinces and Zhongzhou, Qinchuan, these areas are densely trained, the line overlap rate is high, and even Xihai Province is now trying to pass the bullet train, plus the addition of the T-shaped express, x164 will often stop and give way because of the waiting line, which is actually a great waste of railway resources.
So not long ago, Aunt Xia received the news that X164 can be temporarily retained, but the route will be very adjusted, it will be changed to pass through Xiangfan, through Sichuan Province to the north to Jincheng, and then through the ancient Silk Road, enter the West Xinjiang and go around a big circle, and then return to Xihai Province, through the Kunlun Pass into Tibet.
In this way, after changing the route, it is possible to avoid some areas with a high rate of overlap of trains, and go to Xiangxi, southern Sichuan, Yongbei, which have relatively few trains, and Xijiang Province, which is the most lacking in trains.
Although this change is somewhat like the meaning of the X164 into the cold palace, it is also very in line with the positioning of the X164 tourist train, from Yongbei through the Yumen Pass, and then into the West Xinjiang This section is the ancient Silk Road of the Chinese section, along the way the scenery is beautiful, the landform is changeable, and the scenery is innumerable.
Although the conditions on the road are a little more difficult, and even the supply capacity of each station is very limited, who doesn't know that there is an organized 'fat man group' standing behind Aunt Xia? It is said that this matter also made the bigwigs of the railway bureau talk about it for a while.
"Seven days later, whether X164 can leave on time has not yet been finalized....."
Zhou Zhou said with a smile: "The route is definitely going to be changed, and our train captain has also got the news that in the future, X164 will be diverted to Xiangfan into Sichuan, from the north and south of Sichuan, along the ancient Silk Road into Western Xinjiang; Because of the lack of resources on the Xijiang Railway and the number of trains is too few, the X164 will go around a large circle from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang before returning to Xihai Province to Tibet.
X164 will completely become a tourist train, and it will also become the green train with the most stations and the longest mileage in China. ”
"Okay, it's a little interesting, the longest green train in China, you should be able to apply for the Guinness World Records, right?"
Brother Jinmen suddenly became excited: "Master Xiao Zhou, there are a few more 'sugar cakes' here, otherwise you won't be hungry." By the way, if this route is changed, I'm afraid the mileage will be over 10,000 kilometers, right? ”
Huaxia is 5,500 kilometers long from east to west, X164 train starts from the magic capital all the way to the west, and then turns to Yongbei in the middle, and also goes around a big circle in the country's largest province Xijiang, which has to be more than 10,000 kilometers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can apply for the Guinness World Record.
"Well, listen to the conductor that if the route is really changed like this, the total mileage should be more than 11,000 kilometers."
Zhou Zhou was actually very excited after hearing the news yesterday, how many Chinese people dream to re-walk the Silk Road, but he can follow the footsteps of his predecessors while working, and some people pay five insurances and one housing fund, and they can take paid leave when they turn back, how beautiful is this?
"But changing the route would bring a series of problems...... The railway bureaus and dispatching sections should be docked and arranged, and the train itself should also be greatly changed, because the mileage has become longer, I heard that only one or two hard-seat cars will be retained, and the rest of the cars will be changed to sleeper cars, and the passenger capacity will be reduced, but it can ensure that every passenger gets more adequate rest. ”
"That's right, since it is positioned as a tourist train, it should increase the number of sleeper cars, otherwise it will be thousands of kilometers down, and the iron man will not be able to carry it?"
The passengers nodded one after another, it seems that the Modu Railway Bureau is not confused? The addition of sleeping cars and the positioning of tourist trains are very wise moves.
The Magic Capital Railway Bureau is wise?
Zhou Zhou will secretly shake his head when he hears some passengers say this, the news from Aunt Xia's side is not like this, the Modu Railway Bureau originally wanted to directly abolish x164 and change it to D164 from Modu to Xihai Station, if passengers want to go to Tibet, they need to transfer from Xihai to those T-shaped express trains.
In this way, the Modu Railway Bureau will become the only 'pioneer bureau' in China that grasps the pulse of the times, leads the railway reform, and completely eliminates the green train.
For this reason, Aunt Xia also tried to plead with her old superiors to find a way to keep X164.
But I didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse, X164 not only was not abolished, but to change it to the first tourist train in China, which is the positioning directly given by the Railway Bureau, and the previous 'X164 with a tourist nature' is not the same.
Why did things change suddenly, even Aunt Xia felt inexplicable, the old boss in the past shouldn't have such a lot of energy, not to mention that she hadn't begged someone yet?
"Xiao Zhou, my old man asks one more question, the number of sleeper cars is going to increase, what about the dining car? What about the food truck kitchen? ”
Old man Zhang Zhouxuan's heart was full of joy, and he said with a smile: "The most charming thing on the journey is not only the scenery, but also the food!" The food truck is too cramped and the kitchen is too small, isn't the X164 ready to make a change? ”
"Haha, surnamed Zhang, your proposal is very good, I support it!"
Wu Jiuyu said with a smile: "Master Xiao Zhou, you don't know how pitiful a picky person like me is, it's too difficult to find a good chef, the key is that the price is still close to the people, and it won't let me eat until I go bankrupt, so I've already thought about it......
Anyway, I'm a lonely widow, I have no wife, no children, and a few spare money, where to go? In the future, as long as you are here, my Wu Jiuyu will rely on x164.
I don't care about anything else, but I care about the expansion of the dining car, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to have to make an appointment and queue up every time. ”
Oh, you're an old widower, huh? Should! You stinky mouth deserves such retribution!
Everyone looked at Wu Jiuyu gloatingly, feeling how happy they were in their hearts; But what this old guy said is right, the X164 dining car should be expanded, which is related to everyone's vital interests.
Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded: "You can rest assured, the conductor has applied to the Railway Bureau, it is estimated that there will not be much of a problem, and when the above approval is over, the X164 dining car will be expanded to two sections, and the area of the dining car kitchen will be at least doubled."
In the future, everyone will come to the dining car again, and there will be no need to wait in line for so long. ”
In fact, Aunt Xia also put forward a suggestion to let him contract on the issue of the dining car, and now most of the money earned by the dining car has to be handed over, so she can only use the very little profit left to give everyone a bonus or something, which is also too much of a loss.
Now that the Chinese railway system has been comprehensively reformed, even the dining cars of the high-speed rail bullet train have been contracted, which is said to play a role in 'reducing staff and increasing efficiency', and it is also more convenient to transfer contradictions.
If Zhou Zhou agrees to contract, he can leave most of the profits for his own distribution, and the car crew will also benefit from it, but he will become a 'suspended salary' personnel who still have no salary and five insurances and one housing fund, and if he messes up, he may lose money.
Just look at the hot scene in the dining car now, it is completely impossible to lose money here in Zhouzhou, but the question is how to convince the parents?
My parents' generation can value work more than anything else, and won't they become second-rate without salary, five insurances and one housing fund?
Zhou Zhou estimated that his father was better off at this level, after all, he was a master who was ready to open up the Peach Blossom Land for a long time, and it would be difficult to pass his mother's level.
My mother has been in a hurry recently because of her father's affairs, and she is leaving her job without pay to engage in contracting at this time, isn't that an arch fire?
So in the face of Aunt Xia's kindness, Zhou Zhou finally didn't agree, and was going to wait until he went home to see the style; To achieve success in this matter, we must start with my father, first pull my father to the united front, and let my mother recognize her current strength to have a glimmer of hope.
Zhou Zhou decided to do the matter of contracting the kitchen, and he is not alone in the kitchen of the dining car now, even if Xie Guangyun and He Wuhuo are not short of money, they have to explain to the fat man.
The fat man said that this time he will go back to the magic capital to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, how high is the cost of getting married in the magic capital? Not to mention the fat man's salary, let alone supporting his wife, I'm afraid it's difficult to even support himself......
