No matter what year it is, being able to eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want on the train is pretty awesome.

Because in the 1990s, most people were reluctant to part with the lunch boxes in the car, let alone eat in the dining car.

Having only one dining car in so many carriages shows too many problems. Railway people themselves know how ruthless they are.

There are also a series of stations, each with its own specialties and snacks.

Goubangzi roasted chicken, Gangcheng glutinous rice cakes, sesame paste sesame cakes and rice sausages, pancake boxes, Beijing roast duck, donkey rolling cat ears, Jinmen hemp flower Goubuli, Texas braised chicken, Zizhou sesame cakes, meat sesame cakes and Daokou pickles,

Braised mutton.

Taizhou’s pancakes and Fanzhen fire-roasting, Xuzhou’s honey-sandou-poulou, eight-strand deep-fried dough sticks with osmanthus sugar, baked buns, and some soup that no one can figure out why.

Zhucheng's pomegranate, Tuohu crab and prawns, sesame cakes with tenderloin, Lao Renqiao beef auspicious cakes and salted duck.

There are even more things to do in Ningcheng. As the ancient capital of several dynasties, there are countless snacks here, such as salted duck, duck blood vermicelli soup and crab roe buns, glutinous rice lotus root, beef pot stickers with champion beans, dried shredded xiaolongbao and dried in braised pork, just to name a few on the platform.

It's dazzling.

Changzhou's crystal meat, Liyang style goose and hemp cake, sesame candy and chestnut, pear paste sugar horseshoe cake, and various Soviet-style pastries.

Needless to say, when you arrive in Suzhou, it is a world of all kinds of exquisite pasta and pastries, sweet, salty, soft, crispy, all kinds of candies and rice dumplings.

Everyone in the carriage was basically numb, including the very profitable salesman.

They were reluctant to buy lunch boxes along the way. These people who basically relied on instant noodles hated Zhang Yanming and Li Wulan for eating all kinds of food alone.

"This is delicious. This is delicious too."

"Okay, buy more when you come back. You can take these back with you."

"The meat is also delicious, but it's a pity that I can't take it with me because I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it."

"Let me ask, it's not hot now, so it should be about the same if you go north."

In fact, later on, not many people ate many things. As living conditions rapidly improved and supplies became more abundant, many delicacies and snacks no longer tasted as good as they were legendary.

Celebrating the New Year every day, the New Year will no longer have that yearning, it will become ordinary, fade away and disappear little by little.

The 1990s were the last glory of these traditions.

"Brother, what do you two do?" The salesman finally couldn't help but ask.

Eating this kind of food cost thousands of dollars, and he looked at it with greed and full of jealousy and envy.

"Oh, I just go to work. I don't do anything. It's not like you both can make a lot of money. We just get paid."

"Then you can come out and just spend money like this, can you?"

"It's okay, I don't always come out and it's enough. I don't usually spend much money."

"Yeah, you still have to work hard and get a salary, you can rely on it." The silver-haired old man nodded in agreement.

"Uncle, you are old-sighted. Can the factory be reliable now? You still need to start a business and seize the opportunity to make a fortune."

"That young man, after listening to you talk, I didn't see how you got rich. I just saw that you were so greedy that I bought a lot." An aunt took over the words, making the car full of excitement.

Everyone laughed.

"I'm on a business trip and I don't have any cash with me. What a mess now. Besides, if I have money, I'll invest it again. I can enjoy it later, right? I have to grab it now and earn more."

"You are not as down-to-earth as the young couple. Young people, you have to be steady." The old man sighed with emotion.

"Uncle, please don't seek revenge on me. I have no ambition. I have to be someone who can make a career." Zhang Yanming replied with a smile.

"With many opportunities, there are also great risks. We only look at those who succeed and don't see those who fail. They all feel that they can do it. As a person, the most important thing is to be stable and down-to-earth." The old man took a sip of tea and summed it up. .

"Everyone has their own way of living. With the reform and opening up, people are getting better and better. You can live however you want, as long as you feel comfortable." Zhang Yanming handed Li Wulan toilet paper to wipe her hands.

"That's it. Now, I can't understand it. It's turned upside down." The old man looked out the window, and he seemed to be a man with a story.

Li Wulan naughtily grabbed Zhang Yanming's hand, which was still sticky after wiping it, and secretly had fun with it.

"Go wash up."

"There's no water, I just left."

It is normal for the water supply to be cut off on the train at this time, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Zhang Yanming stood up and took the last half bottle of mineral water, moistened the paper towel and wiped Li Wulan's hands. Li Wulan raised her hands and enjoyed it like a child.

"Don't put on nail polish in the future. It's not a good thing. How can it look good? You have to put it on during the day and take it off at night."

"Hmm. After getting off the car, find a place to wash your hair. It feels sticky after not washing it for several days."

Zhang Yanming nodded.

"I feel like I almost stink." Li Wulan whispered in Zhang Yanming's ear.

"It doesn't stink, it smells good."

"It would really stink without that pad. Is there a bathhouse over there?"

"Uh, yes? Yes. It can be washed in the hotel."

"In the hotel, I don't feel like the washing is that fast. No one rubs their backs." He looked at Zhang Yanming with big eyes.

Zhang Yanming smiled: "Okay, I'll help you rub it."

"How many days are we going to stay here?"

"Look, I can't tell. Let's take a look at the situation."

"I want to visit Shekou."

"Over there? It's a bit troublesome. It's noisier than ours there, and it's not as nice as we say. Moreover, you have to go through the formalities at the Public Security Bureau, so you can't just go there casually."

"Forget it, let's have a look in the capital when we go back?"

"Okay, I'll stay there for two days when I come back and show you around."

"You say it's chaos, then why are there so many people running over there?"

"I want to make money, and I talk as if there is gold everywhere. In fact, it's not like that. There are more opportunities than in the mainland, and it's not that evil. People who can't make money are begging for food everywhere.

That’s the most chaotic place in the country right now. Local people don’t dare to go alone in the remote areas in broad daylight. Do you understand? There are too many gangs to rob and cheat. Just like you, you will be arrested in those days. Caught him and sold him."

"Where to sell it?"

"There are so many places. You are locked up in a small room to accept guests and collect money. They don't even give you clothes. You wait in that room year after year for people to come in. If you dare to go out, you will be beaten to death. Women who go missing there every year It’s worth thousands.”

"Just scare me."

"No, really. And even if you don't get cheated or caught, it's usually not a good idea for women to go there. They either end up working in factories and working like slaves, and it doesn't matter whether they can get paid in the end, or they end up in the sea. , sell yourself for money.
