The sales clerk was clearly used to this situation and continued pushing the cart forward while calling out to customers.
"Give me two servings."
Okay.
Because of the planned economy, you had to carry food coupons when you went out. Almost all food had to be purchased with food coupons. Without food coupons, it was really difficult to move around. So, the idea of not having food coupons was too attractive to some people.
Soon, more and more people started buying them.
Gu Wei's bag actually contained a lot of food that Gu Jianguo had prepared for him, enough for two aluminum lunch boxes.
However, he wanted to try the boxed meals on the train to see what they were like.
However, the various smells mixed together in the carriage were a bit unbearable.
Therefore, Gu Wei did not buy directly from the salesperson, but instead got up and went to the food cart.
The dining car was much better than the hard-seat carriages.
Not only was it clean and tidy, but there was also a tablecloth on the table.
Several dishes were served in a large bowl.
Gu Wei saw that the dishes served included stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried cucumber with sliced pork, and braised fish.
A boxed lunch costs 30 cents, but ordering à la carte is more expensive.
Gu Wei ordered three dishes and a bowl of rice without hesitation.
After he tasted them one by one, his eyes lit up.
This tastes really good.
His skills are in no way inferior to those of chefs in state-run restaurants.
In fact, what Gu Wei didn't know was that in this era, besides ordinary people, many celebrities and leaders also took the train, since plane tickets weren't so easy to buy.
Therefore, the train's chefs are all highly skilled.
Most of the chefs were from families of chefs, or were head chefs of long-established restaurants, or were inheritors of various famous dishes. Only those qualified to work in the train restaurant were qualified, and the food in the dining car reached its peak in history.
After having a hearty meal in the dining car, Gu Wei didn't rush back.
He only started walking back after everyone else had left.
When Gu Wei reached the junction of the two carriages, he felt that the air was very fresh and stopped.
Looking out the car window at the scenery, I let out a soft sigh.
This long journey, though seemingly rushed, was something I was bound to take sooner or later.
Grandpa and Gu Honghe and the others can't possibly lose contact forever.
Once they make contact, exposure will happen in no time.
Who told him to be an imposter, to be fake?
However, Gu Wei hasn't figured out exactly how to handle the situation yet.
Let's wait until we find the Gu family before making any further plans.
In short, keep it a secret for as long as possible.
If the day truly comes when it can no longer be hidden.
We can only deal with whatever comes our way and leave the rest to fate.
Gu Wei stood there for a while, observing the area. When he found no one around, he went into the train's toilet.
The pungent smell and terrible environment were simply indescribable.
He held his breath, quickly locked the door, and instantly returned to his modern home.
I took care of my personal needs in the restroom before going back to the 84 area.
When Gu Wei entered the carriage, he found that someone was already sitting in his seat after he had been gone for so long.
But the man was a considerate person; when he saw him return, he immediately got up and made room for him.
Then, with lightning speed, it slipped under the three-seater seat.
Gu Wei was speechless.
The opponent's movements were so fluid and smooth, so skillful, it was almost heartbreaking.
As time went by, listening to the rhythmic clatter of the train, conversations in the carriages decreased, and most people sat asleep.
Gu Wei gradually felt sleepy.
Seeing that the old lady was asleep on the small table, she wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
Gu Wei simply leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.
The train traveled smoothly through the pitch-black night.
The night grew deeper and deeper.
More and more people are falling asleep.
The sounds of snoring, both loud and soft, rose and fell.
The train kept stopping and starting.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Wei suddenly woke up.
Then I saw that the old lady and the man opposite me were both standing, looking extremely anxious and angry, and even had tears in their eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Our money has been stolen! That damned thief! That was our life-saving money for medical treatment! Three hundred yuan gone just like that!" The old lady cried as she spoke.
The middle-aged man was filled with remorse and looked like he wanted to slap himself a few times.
"Sigh, I was still holding my arms and only dozed off for a little while, who would have thought... it was probably those two kids who were walking out when I just woke up! I should have chased after them right away..."
Gu Wei felt great sympathy for them.
Three hundred yuan was a lot of money in those days.
Large items like bicycles and sewing machines can be bought for just over a hundred yuan.
A 14-inch black and white TV only costs four hundred yuan.
He subconsciously touched his pocket as well.
They discovered that the few dollars they had put in their pockets had also disappeared.
Fortunately, I didn't leave too much money outside, otherwise it would have been easy for thieves to steal it.
The old lady and the man immediately guessed what was going on when they saw Gu Wei's expression and actions.
"Your money was stolen too?"
Gu Wei nodded: "Mm."
How much?
Five yuan.
"That's... quite a lot of money! These thieves are ruthless! They deserve to be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
There were more than just the three of them in this carriage.
Five other men and women also suffered financial losses to varying degrees.
Even those passengers who weren't robbed were all feeling uneasy.
The train's police officers arrived shortly afterward.
