Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 208 Taking a Ship to Shanghai

Back at Datongpu, Chen Fuming slept soundly.

Chen Yang woke up with a kick.

Tong Xiaofang laughed and cursed, this is also called guarding the goods, and it is still a dream to steal people away.

Chen Fuming took the steamed buns and pickles with a smirk, and started to eat them vigorously.

In fact, there is no need for guards. Most of the people who live in the Datong shop are colleagues, small merchants and hawkers who travel from place to place.

Tong Xiaofang glanced, ten or nine acquaintances, he walked back and forth to say hello to the acquaintances.

On the bunk opposite, a group of people gathered and started playing cards and money.

Chen Fuming was full, and facing the noise, he was eager to try.

Chen Yang kicked Chen Fuming.

Chen Fuming whispered, I just went to have a look.

Chen Yang snorted and said, "I can't even look at it."

Chen Fuming asked, what are you doing then?

Chen Yang said two words and fell asleep.

Chen Fuming was obedient, but fortunately he was able to sleep, and soon he started snoring.

On the common bunk here, someone is playing chess.

Tong Xiaofang knew how to play chess, but he liked to watch it or not to play it. After watching it for a while, he came back to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was reading, an old book, "Shanghai Stories".

Tong Xiaofang was taken aback when she saw the cover of the book.

"Yang, you plan to use Shanghai as your terminal?"

Chen Yang nodded.

Tong Xiaofang's destination is Zhenjiang and Suzhou. After he arrives in Shanghai, he will transfer to Zhenjiang and then to Suzhou.

It can be said that he has opened up the situation in Suzhou.

At least this line is not popular, there are not many people going there now, plus Chen Yang and Chen Fuming, it won't cause much trouble.

"Why, Yang, why don't you go to Suzhou?"

Chen Yang explained his reasoning, "Brother Fang, I think so. What I sell are high-end small commodities, and I need a market with a certain level of consumption. I say that, do you agree?"

Tong Xiaofang nodded, "You're right. The things you purchased are sold in the counties and small cities below. There must not be many buyers."

"Where is Shanghai? The national economic center, the largest city in the country. Therefore, Shanghai should be the city with the highest consumption level. The women here should also be the most open, and they should be the most dressed up."

Tong Xiaofang smiled, "Yang, you taught me a lesson."

"Where, I'm just talking nonsense. If I think this way, many people will definitely think the same way. Maybe, the women's accessories in the Luqiao market have already occupied the SH market."

Chen Yang has a big heart. When he comes out to play this time, he just wants to play something big.

Shanghai is the largest city, if you want to play, you can play in Shanghai.

Besides, there was one thing Chen Yang didn't explain.He has money, he is not afraid of losing money, this trip is a waste of money.

Waiting is hard, but there is no way around it.

At that time, it was people waiting for the boat, not the boat waiting for people.

One day and two nights passed by neither fast nor slow.

The day of sailing finally arrived.

At five o'clock in the morning, the people in the hotel shouted and woke up the people in the Datong shop.

The three of them, Chen Yang, still follow the old rules, one stays behind, and the two go to the cafeteria to eat.

Chen Yang stayed behind.

Tong Xiaofang and Chen Fuming went to the cafeteria.

After the two of them were full, Chen Fuming brought Chen Yang back with food, and Tong Xiaofang went to the hotel service desk to check out.

This account must be settled, because the hotel will not do business at a loss, and the three people's boat tickets are bet there.

At 45:[-], passengers with cargo began to board the ship.

This is the most physically demanding job.

Chen Yang had one load, Tong Xiaofang and Chen Fuming had two loads each, for a total of five loads.

Tong Xiaofang and Chen Fuming went first, and they each picked up a load of goods and walked through the wharf about 50 meters away.

Stop to inspect the ticket, deliver the ticket, and then go along the gangway to the boat.

The springboard is 30 meters long and more than half a meter wide. The height difference between the pier and the ship is at least seven or eight meters.

Tong Xiaofang has experience, step by step, and walk on the springboard in a real way.

Chen Fuming was a little embarrassed.I usually work at home and carry the burden, that is walking on flat ground, and the burden of two hundred catties is not a problem.

Now it's a climb, and it's still so steep.If you are careful, you will fall into the sea, and you may have a life problem.

Tong Xiaofang pointed Chen Fuming as she walked.

Fortunately, Chen Fuming was strong and not too stupid. After a lot of hard work, he finally picked up two hundred catties of cargo onto the ship.

Then, Chen Fuming guarded the goods, and Tong Xiaofang disembarked.

On the second trip, Chen Yang boarded the boat alone.

Chen Yang has practiced, his footwork is very stable, and he carried two hundred catties on board, like a veteran who has been doing it for several years.

On the third trip, Chen Yang was guarding the cargo on board, while Chen Fuming disembarked, and together with Tong Xiaofang, picked up the other two loads of cargo onto the boat.

These three trips took more than 40 minutes.

Cargo cannot be stored in the third-class cabin, so Chen Yang's cargo is placed in the bulk cabin, together with Tong Xiaofang's and Chen Fuming's.

The loose cabins are not even as good as the Datong shop in the hotel.

Datong bunk can be regarded as having a bed at any rate, with one quilt for each person.

The bulk cabin is a real floor berth.

It is true that each person was killed by one person, but the cold iron plate made people feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Tong Xiaofang and Chen Fuming are two people.

I got two quilts, one was spread out on the floor, and the other was covered by two people.

Anyway, Tong Xiaofang told Chen Fuming not to take off his clothes and go to bed these few days, otherwise he would catch a cold.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

With a long whistle, the No. 403 ship set sail.

Under normal circumstances, it takes three days and three nights for 403 to arrive at Shanghai Shiliupu Wharf.

If there is a strong wind of level [-] or above and the channel cannot be used by boats, it will be difficult to say.

Not long after the ship sailed, Chen Fuming started to get seasick. He vomited so badly that he vomited up all his breakfast.

While guarding the goods, Tong Xiaofang also had to guard the people, complaining endlessly.

Fortunately, Chen Yang didn't appreciate the sea scenery he saw for the first time, entered the third-class cabin, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Third class, 12 people per room, six bunk beds.

It turns out that there are four, three, two, first-class cabins and bulk cabins.

Later, more and more businessmen got up, they were particular, and proposed to cancel the fourth-class cabin, because the word "four" is unlucky.

The transport company then changed to bulk cabins and added third-, second-, and first-class cabins.

In fact, there is also a special class, which is the original first class.

Those who engage in long-distance sales hardly buy tickets above third class.

Because one by one, there is no way to release the goods.

Only Chen Yang can do it in the morning and sleep in.

The turbulence of the ship seems to be the best frequency to help sleep.

In his sleep, Chen Yang found someone pushing him, very lightly.

Chen Yang reflexively turned one hand into a slap and swung it out fiercely.

Snapped.

Slap heavily on a person's face.

A thief dares to attack in broad daylight.

I don't blame the thieves. In Room [-], Chen Yang is the only one at this moment, and everyone else is playing on the deck.

The thief covered his face and stepped back, turning around to escape.

Chen Yang moved faster, kicked the thief hard on the buttocks.

The thief jumped forward, and with an ouch, his head hit the iron gate.

But the thief reluctantly escaped.

Chen Yang didn't care. Tong Xiaofang had told him earlier that there were thieves on the ship.

It's just that he didn't care, which caused unexpected trouble.

Only three or four minutes later, a group of people broke into Room 4.
