Chapter 1032: What Happened at Yangcheng Station
When Han Li came to the Shanghai Railway Station again, he realized why he saw so many young people who wanted to go south to make money here yesterday.
Because the train tickets from Shanghai to Guangzhou, Guangdong Province are so difficult to buy, it can be described as hard to get a ticket. Most people can't buy tickets even if they just queue up stupidly for two or three days.
When boarding the train on the platform, many people who only bought platform tickets could not enter the carriage through the door, so they began to climb in from various windows.
The ticket inspectors ignored this behavior throughout the whole process, because when the train started, these people were basically their extra income on this train.
Even if Han Li got on the train directly without buying a ticket with the internal railway certificate, he was only arranged to sit in the dining car. The popular sleeper seats had been bought up by people through various relationships a few days ago.
But all the seats in this dining car were occupied not long after the train started.
During the journey from Shanghai to Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the train attendants on the dining car cleared people out every once in a while.
Those who have enough money can continue to order a meal and stay here, while those who don't have enough money can only return to the crowded and smelly carriage with curses in their hearts.
Han Li stayed in the dining car until the train arrived at Yangcheng Station in Liuhua Bridge, Guangdong Province. This is a new passenger station completed and put into use in 1974. The old station in Dashatou was renamed Yangcheng East Station.
This railway station currently has four platforms, all connected by underground passages.
There are 11 tracks on the platform, which are connected to the Beijing-Guangzhou Line, Guangzhou-Shenzhen Line, and Guangzhou-San Line respectively. It can accommodate six trains of the above three lines in and out of the station at the same time. It can be said that it is currently a relatively large-scale station in China.
As for how to get from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, Han Li has already inquired clearly on the train. At present, there are only two ways to travel between the two places.
First, go to the ticket office to buy a ticket after arriving at the station, and continue to take the train when you come back.
Second, go to the passenger station next to it after getting off the train, buy a ticket and take a long-distance bus.
Of these two methods, the train is the best choice, because the current local road and bus conditions can easily turn the time required for a 170-kilometer journey into the time required for 200 or even 300 kilometers.
After getting off the train, Han Li followed the marinated passengers from the passage and went directly to the outside of the station. Almost everyone looked at the large electronic clock with the "First Clock of Guangzhou" at first sight.
This "First Clock of Guangzhou" is square, with a white clock face and black hands. It is said to be five meters high and four and a half meters wide. It is also the largest electric clock in the current railway station and one of the symbols of Guangzhou Railway Station.
While many people were still admiring this big clock, Han Li had already set his sights on the station square.
The station square in front of Han Li was divided into several areas with different functions. The core is the central square, which is mainly used for passengers to enter and exit and pick up, and for parking vehicles.
There are two green belts on both sides of the central square. They are arranged on both sides of the central square. They are basically the kind of large-leaved broad-leaved rubber fig trees with crowns. This arrangement is also the leading design in the country at present.
There is a parking lot on each side of the central square, which is reserved for motor vehicles.
The southern part of the central square is a semi-elliptical traffic green island, which can minimize and disperse the situation of vehicles driving randomly, driving recklessly, and being crowded.
A little further away are the Friendship Building, Guangdong Provincial Stadium, Friendship Theater, Yangcheng Hotel, Bus Station and other buildings. It is said that in 1986, this place was successfully selected as one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng with "Liuhua Yuyu".
At this time, the passengers who got off the bus with Han Li, among them were from Shanghai, Dongou, Wushang. In short, there were many people from different places.
There were people from all over the country, and of course their accents were very mixed. If it weren't for Han Li, ordinary people really couldn't understand what they were saying. They might also think that others couldn't understand, so they would talk to their companions unscrupulously when they spoke.
However, they met Han Li, who knew many dialects. Even if some words could not be fully understood, they could guess roughly.
It was because of this that Han Li also learned from their conversation.
Some of these people do not want to go to Pengcheng. They think that they may not be able to get cheaper goods from the manufacturers there. Even if they do, it will increase the cost of going back and forth between the two places, and also increase the risk of being caught by relevant units.
Therefore, this group of people choose to go to streets such as Gaodi Street and Guanlu Road in Yangcheng to look for electronic watches, clothing, and various things they have never seen before, but the premise is that they are easy to carry, not easy to be exposed, and can be sold at a high price in their local area.
There are also some people who choose to go to Pengcheng. They think that as long as they find a way to purchase goods, they can not only get higher profits after getting them home, but if it is appropriate, they can also act as a middleman near their hometown to earn the difference.
(As for matters like purchasing authority, currently in the export special zone of Yangcheng, as long as it does not involve some unified purchase and sale materials such as food, the authorities basically turn a blind eye to other items and commodities. They sell what should be sold and buy what should be bought. Whether you can take it home after leaving Yangcheng is none of their business.)
Han Li stood in the square of Yangcheng Railway Station, listening to the various discussions coming from all around him, and he wondered in his heart whether he should contact Zhang Yaozu?
Let him take me around in this strange city of Yangcheng and taste the local characteristics of eating everything and anything?
But this idea was quickly thrown behind Han Li's mind. The main purpose now was to go to Xiangjiang to figure out Hao Jianghe's affairs, and by the way, earn some pocket money and living expenses for himself after arriving in England.
Although Han Li's trip to the south was supported by his family, it has been six and a half days since he left Sijiu City as of today, and he only accompanied Jing Shujuan for one night. If he stayed for two more days, it would be longer.
Moreover, today is the 27th day of the eleventh lunar month. If Han Li wants to return home before the New Year, he must speed up and cannot delay his trip because of a little appetite.
In addition, although Han Li has made all kinds of preparations, he is not sure what the situation is on the border after all. Is the defense of both sides tight? Which is easier, sea or land.
No matter how powerful Han Li's golden finger is, it can't stop the observation of the telescope and the aiming of the sniper rifle.
Therefore, Han Li needs to understand all these. Even if he has peregrine falcons and little owls in his vast peach garden to help with reconnaissance, it will take some time to figure these out and make himself safer.
(Peregrine falcons can move normally in the south, but Saker Falcons cannot.)
As for finding Hao Jianghe according to those addresses in Hong Kong, it is easy, and it is not difficult to figure out his current situation. The difficulty lies in figuring out why he did not choose to return home in glory, but kept asking Hao Hongmin and her daughter to come to Hong Kong.
This kind of thing cannot be forced, it takes a certain amount of time and luck. If you are lucky, you may find the reason on the same day. If you are unlucky, you may not find any useful clues for ten days or half a month, so Han Li has no time at all.
Han Li felt cold in his heart when he thought of this. If this situation really happened, he would definitely not mind using the last method.
As for earning some pocket money and living expenses, how could Han Li take it to heart? Because of the existence of the golden finger, as long as he wants and does not care about the bottom line, then making money is really not difficult for him.
Han Li looked at the unique railway station square again, and turned to walk into the waiting hall.
The ticket office and waiting hall of Yangcheng Railway Station are equipped with two domestic escalators and two elevators, but the escalators were not in use when Han Li arrived here.
There are more people in this ticket office than in Shanghai, but Han Li does not need to buy a ticket and naturally will not squeeze with them. Instead, he directly finds a staff member to ask about the train to Pengcheng.
But what Han Li did not expect is that because there is only one track from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, there are only two passenger trains to Pengcheng every day, and this is an additional train after the reform.
However, according to this staff member, the superiors are now planning to build a second train track.
Han Li asked about the departure time of the next train, thanked the enthusiastic lady and left the waiting room. He planned to take advantage of this free time to taste the various delicacies Zhang Yaozu had mentioned more than once, such as shrimp wonton noodles, pork knuckle noodles, lard glutinous rice chicken, crispy chicken biscuits, osmanthus sugar London cake, cotton cake, etc.
