When they arrived at Heishipo, everyone got off the train.

This was Li Banfeng's first time to Heishipo. Not long after getting off the bus, he felt the different atmosphere of this city.

The atmosphere of Heishipo is different from other places. Li Banfeng has the skill of exquisite taste and can deeply feel this difference.

There is a smooth and sweet taste in the waistband of the trouser belt, there is the aroma of food in Haichi Ridge, there is a unique tranquility in Tiemen Fort, and there is a tangy luxury in Green Water City.

The smell of Heishipo is stronger. To sum up, there are three main types: smoke smell, ash smell and engine oil smell.

The sky here is obviously darker than other places. After leaving the station, looking up, there are tall and short chimneys everywhere.

In an era when electricity could not be used on a large scale, steam was used to the extreme, and coal was the most important "ration" for steam engines.

Heishipo has three major specialties: iron ore, stone and coal.

Some of these three major specialties are transported to various parts of the Prefecture, and some are processed into commodities locally.

This determines the special nature of Heishipo, which is a very pure industrial city.

Xiao Chuanzi arrived first and had already found accommodation for everyone. Li Banfeng was still looking for a car, and Xiao Chuanzi had already prepared the car.

It's not a carriage or a rickshaw, it's a steam vehicle.

The steam locomotive pulls two carriages and travels through the streets and alleys on the narrow rails.

Isn't this a train?

The only difference from a normal train is that this train is smaller, small enough to drive into an alley.

Heishipo is such a city. Different from the roads that extend in all directions in Lushui City, all the roads here have become railways. Although the noise is a bit louder and the air is a bit bad, there are trains available when you go out.

This reminded Li Banfeng of the light rail in Yuezhou City, but the light rail was a tram and felt less interesting than the steam train.

Xiaochuanzi said: "I heard from the workers here that originally Green Water City also wanted to build a railway in the city, but the group of rich people didn't agree. They thought it was noisy and dirty. I think it's okay, just a little coal.

It’s just dust, it’s all loose dirt, how dirty can it be?”

Ogawazi is an engineer, and Blackstone City is simply a holy land for him. Every time he introduces a place, Ogawazi is very excited, even though from the outside, these buildings look almost the same, dense, simple, and rough lines.

The train traveled for more than forty minutes and stopped at a station. Everyone got off the train one after another and arrived at the house Ogawako had just bought.

Let's call it a house...

This place is huge.

After entering the gate, there is a courtyard first. In the courtyard is a huge monster more than 20 meters high.

This behemoth is a gray-white cube as a whole, with various types of pipes of different thicknesses distributed on its body, and there is a chimney taller than it next to it.

Laymen think this is a building, but insiders know that this thing is one of the core equipments of the steam age. Its scientific name is a steam generator, and it is commonly known as a boiler.

Walking past the boiler and further inside, Li Banfeng saw parts and semi-finished machine tools scattered on the ground.

The parts and machine tools were full of rust. Li Banfeng looked at Xiaochuanzi and said, "Is this a house?"

This is obviously an abandoned factory.

Xiaochuanzi scratched his scalp and said: "Master Qi, the house you want is not easy to find in Heishipo.

You said that it needs to be able to accommodate more than thirty people, and it needs to be private enough and not too conspicuous. Only this kind of place is suitable."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Where do you live? In a factory?"

"That's not true. There is a building behind the factory."

There is a three-story building in the backyard of the factory. There is a canteen, bathrooms and toilets on the first floor, and there are more than a dozen rooms on the second and third floors.

There are many factories like this in Heishipo, and the residents of Heishipo are basically workers.

Workers work in the factory during the day and sleep in the factory at night. After they get married, they bring their families to live in the factory and rarely leave the factory.

Apart from work, don’t they have their own entertainment life?

have.

Go to the cinema and watch a movie.

Go to the pub for a drink.

Buy a newspaper and take a break.

When you have money, go to a special place and find a special person to have sex with you.

When you have no money, you can buy a magazine by yourself and come here once.

Workers' time is very tight, dance halls, theaters, salons, banquets... these things are not suitable for them.

Entertainment suitable for workers must first save time and secondly be economical and affordable. This is also the main reason why the Heishipo book and newspaper industry is particularly developed. This thing saves money and trouble, and is easy to use.

Li Banfeng said to writers Bai Qiusheng and Yu Wenqi: "You two have lived in Heishipo and know the rules here. You will go through the procedures tomorrow to open a newspaper first and then a magazine."

"Procedure?" Bai Qiusheng shook his head and said, "You don't need that. If you open a newspaper office in Heishipo, a printing press is enough."

Yu Wenqi said: "Opening a magazine is a little more complicated. You need a camera."

Li Banfeng said in surprise: "Can you open a newspaper office with just one printing press?"

Bai Qiusheng said: "Yes! We will write the manuscript tonight and type it tomorrow. You can arrange for someone to buy the printing press. We can almost catch up with tomorrow's evening paper."

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and said: "The newspaper office is not open, so why not rush for tomorrow's evening paper? Are you talking about a joke? What do you use to write articles? Is there any news?"

Yu Wenqi said: "News is easy to talk about. Just find a few big newspapers and copy two pages. Our newspaper mainly sells comments and stories. Where can we not read the news? The key things must be written vigorously!"

"Written by Hu?" Li Banfeng still couldn't understand, "Who will sell the newspapers written by Hu?"

The two writers didn't know how to explain it. Xiaochuanzi said: "Master Qi, I will take you to report the car, and you will understand."

Xiaochuanzi took Li Banfeng and others to report the car.

The so-called newspaper cart is a small house that sells newspapers and magazines. In Yuezhou, this thing is called a newsstand.

The newsstand in Heishipo is different. There are wheels under the small house, four wooden wheels and four iron wheels.

Usually the wooden wheels are on the ground, and the stall owner can pull the newsstand away.

When you pull it to the railway, control the pulley in the pavilion. The wooden wheel rises and the iron wheel touches the ground. There is a hook in front of the newspaper car, so you can hang it behind the train and follow it.

Li Banfeng entered the pavilion and glanced at the newspaper.

Li Banfeng recognized the newspapers of the Lu family and the Ling family, but he did not recognize most of the newspapers.

Like "One Shot" Evening News, the name is very distinctive.

Li Banfeng glanced at the headline: "The fake show is real, the diva Xiao Xiufei, how deep is the drama".

The first few sentences of the news are about what happened when singer Xiao Xiufei was interviewed before the first part of "Blood Blade Detective" was released.

Since when has this been news? It’s been four months!

Can this be published in the newspaper?

Li Banfeng was very curious and picked up the newspaper to take a look. The stall owner immediately stopped him: ""One Shot" costs 80 cents. If you don't buy it, you can't read it."

Li Banfeng pointed to the newspapers of the Lu family and the Ling family: "How much do these newspapers cost?"

"Three cents for the Morning Post and fifty cents for the Evening Post."

"Then why is your "One Shot" selling for 80 cents?"

“For this price, the product is genuine and effective upon receipt, so you can be honest!”

What is reported to be effective is called medicine to be effective!

Li Banfeng despised this stall owner and bought a copy of "One Shot" for 80 cents.

Don't tell me, the registration is really effective. Just after reading the front page, Li Banfeng's penis lit up.

The news on the front page gives an in-depth account of Xiao Xiufei's entry into the drama from different angles. The vocabulary is simple, but the content is detailed. The feelings of the male lead, the experience of the female lead, the photographer's touch, and the memories of the sweeping aunt are all very detailed.

In place, it's even more exciting than the movie itself.

Before he could read the remaining pages, Li Banfeng noticed a magazine.

This magazine is called "Blood Gun Detective Five".

My movie has been published at number 3, and his magazine has been published at number 5?

The woman on the cover is very beautiful, with a distinctive figure and clothing.

The figure is very graceful.

In terms of clothing, there are no clothes.

"How much does this magazine cost?"

"Five six."

"Isn't that too much? A movie ticket only costs five yuan."

The stall owner sneered and said: "You don't understand this. If you buy a movie ticket, you can watch it once, and the Bloody Gun Detective is not allowed to be watched now.

If you buy this magazine, you can read it as many times as you want, and I’ll also give you a poster.”

The stall owner had just displayed half of the poster when Li Banfeng decided to buy it.
