Chapter 305 Small Station Privileges
Chapter 305 Small Station Privileges
"Old Maozi, there are so many trees here! It's boundless and full of primeval forests." Gaopeng couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the receding trees on both sides of the car window. twenty three
"Where was Siberia in the past? It was the place where Czarist Russia exiled prisoners and escorted those people here. There was no guard at all. No one could escape from here by their own strength." Yu Jie, a friend sitting opposite him, disagreed. Authentic, "I said, Tomoko, although it's your first time to go abroad, don't be so surprised."
Gao Peng looked around, and many people showed good-natured smiles.His face couldn't help but feel a little hot.The fourth-class carriages were full of businessmen from China, and the carriages were filled with large and small packages of goods. The luggage racks, under the seats, and even the aisles were also filled.
"The old Maozi's flight attendant is bad enough, why didn't he just grab fifty rubles if he just opened his mouth?" Gaopeng brought the topic back to the experience of checking tickets not long ago.The bear-like Soviet man asked them to make up the fare on the grounds that they were carrying too much luggage. Yu Jie smiled and secretly gave him ten rubles, but he was still not satisfied, and finally insisted on leaving fifty rubles. .It made Gao Peng heartbroken.
"This is just the beginning, and you will see more people asking for money in the future." This is not the first time Yu Jie has traveled to Siberia, and he is much more familiar with this matter in the car than Gao Peng.It takes nearly seven days to get to Moscow on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Every time the crew changes on the way, similar things will repeat. The old man is no longer the same as before. Compared with the domestic situation, this phenomenon is even worse.This is Gao Peng's first time here, and he is still a little uncomfortable. In the future, he will understand that if he wants to come to the Soviet Union to do business, he needs money to open the way.
Fortunately, although there are many people asking for money here, the chances of making money are also very considerable. A down jacket, brought from China to Moscow, can cost ten times as much. It's not surprising that it's [-] times the size. The huge profits made these Chinese losers tolerate the blackmail of these old men.Yu Jie brought a lot of clothes this time, hoping that if he sold the goods this time, he would be able to get married when he returned home.
"Friend, don't just look at the scenery, there are plenty of things for you to enjoy during the seven-day journey. Lie down on the table for a rest, and at night, the two of us will take turns to watch the night." Yu Jie reminded the excited guests.Siberia is sparsely populated, and the distance between cities is very large. Moreover, this is an express train. Generally, small town-level stations do not stop. The train will travel for almost a day before making one stop. Yu Jie estimates that it will be in the evening. Nine, ten o'clock, will arrive at the station.
The train shook slightly, and the speed of the train slowed down. Yu Jie didn't care. Siberia's terrain is complicated, and it's not flat. It's normal to speed up and slow down. On both sides, some houses appeared, and then more and more houses were built, as if entering a town.The speed of the car was getting slower and slower, and the people in the carriage couldn't help talking about it.
"I said Jiezi, didn't you say that the next station is still far away?" Gaopeng said strangely.
Yu Jie was also a little strange, this is obviously not a normal stop for the train, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it is going to stop here. "Maybe it is to give way to the car, maybe there is a military column to pass."
The train slowly entered the rather simple-looking station, just like those ordinary township stations in China.On the platform, there were quite a few Soviet people standing there, all of them showing surprised expressions.
The car shook and finally stopped.
"The train will be temporarily stopped for 10 minutes," the bear-like steward shouted loudly at the door, and opened the door as he spoke.
"Temporary parking." Yu Jie looked out of the car window, and there were many Soviets waving banknotes to welcome them.Some vendors selling food at the station also joined in.
Yu Jie stood up, pulled out a bag from under the seat, and took out several leather jackets and down jackets from inside.
"Friend, come on, give me a hand, and open the car window." Yu Jie greeted Gao Peng, "I'm calling, you are responsible for collecting the money, let's open it first."
Fang Mingyuan and his party were walking off the platform from the luxurious carriage at this time, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart, this is the power of privilege.This express train stopped temporarily for 10 minutes just to make it easier for them to change trains to the Republic of Yakutia.In fact, if they take other trains, it is totally fine, but those cars do not have luxury carriages, and most of them are fourth-class carriages.
In Fang Mingyuan's memory, parking specially for the convenience of some people is something that only those foreigners can enjoy in the land of China. Unexpectedly, in Siberia today, he himself enjoys such a privilege.
"Mr. Fang, Ms. Aso, please wait here for a while, your vehicles will be unloaded immediately." Michaloyl said with a smile on his side.His entourage was instructing the staff on the station to build boards for the off-road vehicles on the last flatbed car of the train.
Fang Mingyuan stretched his arms and legs. Although it was a luxury car, he could lie down and sit in it. After sitting in the car for so long, he was a little tired.
"Mingyuan, look at this scene, does it look like China?" Lin Lian looked at the people on the platform who were haggling with the people on the platform, and the hawkers who were shouting all kinds of food, and said softly. .
Fang Mingyuan nodded. Similar situations are not uncommon when traveling in domestic vehicles.It's just that most of these people under the car are blond and blue-eyed old men.The country is still poor. Such a scene is not easy to see in Japan and the United States.
"Haha, the door is open!" Yu Jie stretched out his hand and pulled down the car window. In such a short time, he had already sold more than fifty down jackets. After selling these more than [-] down jackets, the cost of this trip for myself and Gaopeng is almost returned, and the remaining goods are almost all profits.
"These old men are so generous, why don't they even care about the price?" Gaopeng said in surprise, holding a handful of rubles.A domestic sheepskin jacket costing more than 100 yuan was actually sold for 20 rubles, and a down jacket with a similar cost was sold for 350 rubles.The compatriots in the next seat estimate that the domestic cost of travel shoes is only about [-] yuan, but they can charge [-] to [-] rubles.
"It's still expensive? Let me tell you, if you don't get to Moscow, you don't need to take out the good things we brought, because they can't afford them at all. And to be honest, they can't tell the good things out. As long as it is a famous brand, even if it is a fake, they will eat it all. We are good enough, at least they are all genuine. They are lucky enough today, this car usually does not stop here, and they can make a lot of money Anyway, they will definitely make money at that time, so you don’t have to worry about them.” Yu Jie took the ruble in his hand, carefully put it in his bag, and said, “If you want to exercise, go down quickly Be active, don't go far, pay attention to the flight attendant, he will come as soon as he calls. Don't miss the bus, it will be troublesome."
"Okay..." Gao Peng wanted to go down for a long time to stretch his muscles and bones. After sitting in the car for so long, his whole body was numb.
"Mr. Fang, Ms. Aso, the comrades here have encountered some trouble unloading the car, why don't we go to the waiting room of the station to rest for a while?" So far, 10 minutes have passed, but only half of it has come down.Michal Royle scolded the station staff here in his heart, they really did not give the country face.
Aso Xiangyue looked at Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan waved his hands casually and said, "Minister Michalloy, I've been sitting for a long time, and I have to take the bus later, so I'm still doing activities." Although this person's Japanese accent is a bit heavy, , It sounds a bit strenuous, but it is still very good to have an official who communicates directly.Fang Mingyuan glanced back at Khodokovsky, who was buying food with a peddler.
Khodokovsky worked very hard. In five days, he got Fang Mingyuan a lot of good medals. Although it can't be compared with Nakhimov's collection, Fang Mingyuan was quite pleasantly surprised. .This time, when he went to the core area of the Soviet Union, although Aso Xiangyue had already brought sufficient translators, the Soviet Union would definitely have accompanying personnel. Fang Mingyuan considered that it would be more convenient to do things with an extra Soviet person who was easy to communicate with, so he took him by the way. Bring it on.
Fang Mingyuan walked towards the crowd, and Chen Zhong and Wu Xingguo naturally followed.
Fang Mingyuan looked at the food sold by a few hawkers on the platform, and there was nothing new except bread and sausage, so he shook his head and was about to go back.
"Thief, stop and stop for me." At this moment, I heard the voice of the Chinese from the other side of the platform, and then I saw two Soviet youths rushing towards me in a panic.Chen Zhong and Wu Xingguo rushed forward with one stride.
Those two Soviet youths looked fierce, Chen Zhong and Wu Xingguo didn't look like Soviets at first glance, and it seemed that they didn't come to help them, they were Shen.
Naturally, Chen Zhong and Wu Xingguo were even more impolite. With a sway, they dodged the fists, knocked them down to the ground, and immediately several Soviets surrounded them.Before they could do anything, they were pushed down to the ground by Fang Mingyuan and the people accompanying Aso Xiangyue.
Seeing this scene, Michaloy was so shocked that his whole body was covered in cold sweat...
