076 Catching the Train
The night before Gao Qinghe was about to leave, Gao Qingmiao rushed back.
Only a dozen or so dresses from this batch have been sold. The stock seems too few to display, so Gao Qingmiao is planning to go to the provincial capital to replenish the stock.
By the way, I also took my sister to Linxian Railway Station.
It is quite dangerous for a single woman to take a train in the early morning.
Gao Chongyi patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction. For the first time, he felt that his son had grown up.
Gao Qingmiao puffed out his chest, and his smug expression made everyone laugh.
But the guy who was happy just a second ago.
The next second, I found out that my family had been eating delicious food every day while I was away, and I immediately stopped laughing.
"Oh, so you guys feast when I'm not home, and when I come back you just eat sweet potatoes and brown rice. Isn't my last name Gao? Am I not a part of this family?"
Knowing that he was going to yell, Gao Qinghe glanced at him and put a large basin of braising liquid on the table.
"Second Young Master, how dare I treat you badly? Come and eat, this is all specially reserved for you."
Originally, if Gao Qingmiao didn't come back, she planned to pack up the things and bring them to the city for him early tomorrow morning.
Old Mrs. Tian patted the brat on the back in annoyance.
"You're the one who yells the most unpleasantly. When have I, your grandma, ever been partial to you three siblings?"
Gao Qingmiao looked at the pot full of fragrant braised offal, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
But he still didn't forget to look at grandma with grievance, "You are not partial to my eldest sister?"
"When I want to eat braised offal at home, you complain that it's too troublesome to make, but when my elder sister wants to eat it, you happily make it..."
Seeing that he was still being ungrateful after getting the advantage, Old Lady Tian slapped him and said, "Even if there's food available, it can't stop your mouth. Bao'er, don't save any for him next time."
Gao Qinghe just sat there and laughed, not even daring to say that she had eaten three flavors of spare ribs in one breath.
Gao Qingmiao hurriedly shouted goodbye again, saying that you had to stay.
"By the way, I'll pack another box and give one to your little sister when I pass by town tomorrow."
Huang Ying found the aluminum lunch box and gave instructions to Gao Qingmiao.
Gao Qingmiao's mouth was full and he nodded, indicating that he understood.
The family had a lively time until ten o'clock in the evening, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Every time the children in the family were going on a long journey, Grandma Tian would get up early to prepare delicious food for the children to take with them on the journey.
A long-distance train that takes a day and a night is painful even if you take a soft sleeper.
Therefore, we must not be careless when it comes to eating.
This is the only source of happiness.
Last time Gao Qinghe said that fried meat patties didn’t last long, so this time Grandma Tian made a whole box of crispy pork strips.
I got up early in the morning and heated up the oil in a pan. I rolled the meat strips that I had marinated last night in starch and put them directly into the pan to fry.
Fry the skin until golden brown, drain the oil, sprinkle with homemade spicy powder, mix well, put into oil paper bag and seal.
You can eat whenever you want on the road.
By the way, there are still two cans of food that Jiang Baohai sent last time. Take them all.
I also made five or six rice balls and six boiled eggs.
After washing up, Gao Qinghe walked into the main room and saw a large bag of food packed by her grandmother. She smiled helplessly. What a sweet burden!
After asking grandma to do less in the future, the brother and sister had a peaceful breakfast and then set off on their bicycles.
First go to the town middle school and hand the braised offal for my younger sister to the security guard.
Then I rushed to the county town, put the bicycle back in the rented house, and took a bus to Lin County.
We arrived at Linxian County around 2:00 p.m.
In order to catch the early morning train, I have to stay in a guesthouse for one night, otherwise I won’t be able to endure it.
However, at this time most people choose to sleep in the waiting hall of the train station, which can save ten yuan in accommodation fees.
If Gao Qingmiao were alone, he would do just that.
But his sister obviously disagreed.
Gao Qinghe found a guesthouse near the train station and immediately took a nap.
When they woke up, it was already afternoon, so the brother and sister went out together to find a place to eat.
Gao Qingmiao was going to purchase goods, and Gao Qinghe wrote him a list of goods.
If you see similar styles in the market, buy some and try them out.
Now we know that selling women's clothing is the most profitable, so the list of goods Gao Qinghe provided is all clothing styles that are more popular in later generations.
Accessories can be sold together to avoid having too many products.
But the most important thing to remind you is, "Pay attention to the goods sold by other stalls on the pedestrian street and make sure to avoid duplication."
Gao Qingmiao: "What if someone follows our lead?"
"When we go to the provincial capital this time, discuss with the boss we're working with to see if they can give us exclusive authorization."
"If they follow the trend and bring products that look the same, but the quality and style are not as good as ours, customers will definitely choose us."
Gao Qingmiao nodded and took it seriously to heart.
"Don't worry, sister. I can do it."
Gao Qinghe smiled faintly, she knew he could do it.
After dinner, the brother and sister took a walk in the riverside park in the county town to digest the food, and did not return to the guesthouse to rest until eight o'clock in the evening.
Afraid that he would oversleep, Gao Qinghe reminded the system to wake him up at the appointed time.
At four o'clock in the morning, Gao Qinghe woke up his brother who was sleeping like a pig, packed up simply, and rushed to the train station.
I thought there would be few passengers at this time.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people entering the station. Everyone was pushing each other, trying to get on the carriage quickly.
Gao Qingmiao was leading the way in front. He was stepped on countless times before he finally pushed his sister up.
It was only after Gao Qinghe found his carriage seat that he learned about it from the busy conversations of the passengers on the train.
This is a special train heading south for workers.
With the help of local government departments, large factories in the south came here specifically to recruit workers and transported the remaining young and strong labor force here to the south in batches.
There were twenty or thirty people at the least, and two or three hundred at the most.
Gao Qinghe obviously encountered the latter.
This is just the number of people recruited at one site, and there will be several more sites to recruit people.
Gao Qinghe remembered that in two years, after the first group of people who had left came back, the young people from Shanghe Village, knowing that factories could make money, would also rush to the southern factories one after another.
And Gao Qingya is about to become a member of the army heading south.
Thinking of this, Gao Qinghe felt a little heart-attacked.
But that was the ending of the previous life, not the current one.
She didn't believe that if she intervened, the obedient younger sister would disobey her older sister and drop out of school.
The sky gradually brightened, and the noise on the train gradually became quiet as the train moved forward.
When catching a bus in the early morning, many people did not sleep well the night before. Once they got to their seats, they immediately started to catch up on sleep. All they could hear was each other's snoring.
Gao Qinghe bought the lower bunk bed.
She placed a simple bag of luggage on the bed and spread out the bedding before turning around to observe the other three passengers in the same compartment.
On the lower bunk opposite was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, dressed like a civil servant on a business trip.
The person on the upper bunk was still sleeping, and I couldn't see clearly because of the quilt covering him. The shoes on the ground were a pair of red high heels for women.
The couple who boarded the train with Gao Qinghe on the upper bunk were a young couple with a son who was four or five years old.
It might be the child's first time riding a train. He was very excited and crawled back and forth between the upper and lower bunks.
He wanted to run out to other carriages to have a look, but his mother caught him and brought him back. She scolded him in a low voice, and he calmed down temporarily.
Gao Qinghe felt more secure with this configuration and secretly thought that he was lucky.
