Chapter 829 The changes in my hometown are quite big(1/2)
The shuttle bus slowly drove into Rongwei County Long-distance Bus Station at noon.
In the past, there was only one bus station in the entire Rongwei County, and buses all departed from the same place regardless of long or short distances.
In recent years, with the rapid economic development of Rongwei County, and the cadres of Rongwei County are relatively open-minded, they have not put too many restrictions or requirements on ordinary people's daily travel.
Therefore, the passenger transportation demand in the entire county is growing extremely rapidly.
Only then did the original "Rongwei County Passenger Bus Transport Service Co., Ltd." be divided into two, into a long-distance bus station and a short-distance bus station.
Not only that.
The hardware facilities of the entire bus station are also quite complete. They were built in advance according to the standards of later long-distance bus stations.
In the parking area of the shuttle bus, there are not only steps for passengers to get on and off the bus conveniently.
Moreover, on the top of the car, there is a second-floor platform for loading and unloading goods. This architectural style was very common in later generations, but it was much more user-friendly than bus stations in other counties and cities during the same period.
Not only that.
The retail kiosks selling cigarettes, drinks, and melon seeds in the spacious and bright waiting hall now belong to more than just supply and marketing cooperatives.
Instead, several collective stores have been introduced.
These retail stores established by each brigade can not only sell agricultural and sideline products, fruits and snacks produced by the brigade, but also sell cigarettes, drinks and other things.
It’s good to have competition!
If the supply and marketing cooperative is still the only one, the faces of those waiters will be really ugly.
In order to experience the great changes in Rongwei County over the years, Luo Xuan went to the kiosk in the waiting hall and bought a bag of fried peanuts.
The products sold in the store are of generous portions, and the peanuts are fried with oil sand, so they are heated evenly and the heat is well controlled.
What's even more valuable is that Luo Xuan only spent 1.3 cents and bought 2 taels of fried peanuts.
Although the transaction is small,
However, the service attitude of the waiters in the sales group is extremely enthusiastic.
As soon as the two waitresses heard that Luo Xuan was speaking Mandarin, the two little girls immediately switched from Bashu dialect to Trump.
Although what they said about Trump made people laugh a little, and those who listened couldn't help but want to laugh.
But after all, through this detail, we can know: the people here are very friendly, and at least they are not xenophobic.
It’s not easy to do this!
You must know that during this period, many people had no business ideas at all, let alone economic acumen.
Most of them will have a kind of ridiculous idea: I am poor and I am glorious! I would rather not earn your bad money than do this ridiculous idea of making a living.
And once they meet guests from out of town, those who are a little nervous and prone to overreaction, they will not think about how to warmly receive them.
Instead, he kept asking: "Where is your travel certificate? Where is your work permit? Where did it come from? What are you planning to do here? How long do you plan to stay?"
After repeated questioning,
To be honest, those out-of-town guests who have just gotten off the bus will suddenly feel disgusted in their hearts: Why do you think that everyone is not a good person, right?
Why is it that no matter where we go, everyone is guarding us like thieves?
Isn't this equivalent to inexplicably deciding that the other party is not a good person, and then starting to collect evidence from this perspective to prove the initial inference?
As a result, many customers who originally wanted to come to Rongwei County to discuss business or find some cooperation projects will suddenly give up.
I bought a few more early-ripening tangerines.
Luo Xuan slowly peeled peanuts and ate oranges as he slowly walked out of the bus station gate.
It depends on the quality of the cultural environment of a place. Places such as bus stations, train stations, and docks are good display windows.
There is a mixture of good and bad here, and there are many urban foxes and rats who make a living by cheating and kidnapping, and petty thieves also like to visit these places.
Just walked out of the station gate.
Luo Xuan stood on the high steps and looked around.
Two buses have just arrived. It is a busy moment when the passengers who got off the bus are rushing to get out of the station, while those who have bought tickets and are ready to take the bus are rushing to check in and carry their luggage to the bus.
During this gap period, it is when those three-handed fraudsters are most active.
It is actually not difficult to see if there are thieves in the station square: normal passengers are in a hurry and look at the door of the waiting hall.
As for those bad guys who are pickpocketing, their eyes are wandering and unfocused, especially they like to stare at other people's pockets and bags.
Whenever you see this kind of person, you have to be careful.
As a result, after standing on the steps for several minutes, Luo Xuan never saw anyone suspicious moving in the square.
Instead, I saw a few people in plain clothes patrolling there.
Wait until Luo Xuan came down the steps.
Immediately, a middle-aged woman approached and asked in a low voice, "Comrade, do you want to stay in a guest house? Come on, it's very comfortable, the price is not expensive, it's clean and affordable."
Behind this middle-aged woman, there were 2 or 3 other people dressed similarly to her. It looked like they were running a small hotel business in the name of a collective, but in fact it was privately run.
Luo Xuan didn't have any bad feelings towards these little treats.
Existence is reasonable.
There are some production team members who are away from home, production team cadres on business trips, and clerks in small factories. They are reluctant to spend 2 yuan and 70 cents to stay in a better state-owned guest house.
Even if they pay 1.5 yuan to live in the guest house of the Grain Bureau or the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they are reluctant to do so.
These small guesthouses, which only cost 60 to 70 cents for a night's stay and provide hot water, have become the first choice for people who are short of money.
Living in such a small guest house, the environment may not be very good.
However, there are some couples who come from towns and villages to the county central hospital for treatment. Sometimes their treatment time will be very long.
This kind of people often like to book a room in a small guest house for a long time.
Not only are the prices here cheap, but the person in charge of the guest house often allows them to borrow the pots and stoves in the guest house to cook and other things.
This kind of service is not available in big guest houses.
Out of curiosity, Luo Xuan asked, "Is your guest house clean?"
“Clean, absolutely clean!”
When a middle-aged woman saw a business coming to her door, she couldn't help but look happy, "Our quilts are changed every three days, and then they are put out in the sun for disinfection. Then they are washed every seven days, and we don't even have to put soap and disinfectant in when washing! Keep it safe!"
You can live comfortably."
The Bashu area has a lot of rainy weather, and it is not easy to encounter sunny days during many periods of time.
Therefore, this guest house said that its bedding should be dried every three days and washed every seven days, which is very good. After all, many times they cannot be dried even after being washed.
"I don't like it to be too clean."
Luo Xuan smiled mysteriously, "I have to wait for someone here, and I may have to stay for several days. I wonder if your guest house takes care of three meals a day?"
When the middle-aged woman heard that Luo Xuan was staying for several days, she looked happy at first.
But after hearing the next words, her face gradually turned gloomy, "Comrade, I see that you are dressed appropriately and you are in good spirits. You should be a public servant, right?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, "Not really. I'm just a livestock herder at an out-of-town livestock station. My job is to go out every day to breed chickens in the breeding room of the production team and replace the capons for the members."
"Three meals can be taken care of, it just depends on what kind of food standards you eat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included in the meal. There are standards of 1 yuan and 50 cents, 2 yuan and 50 cents, and 3 yuan and 50 cents. The only difference is the size of the meat."
The middle-aged woman looked a little serious, "We only provide three meals a day without us. Rongwei County is a civilized place without all those messy things."
Looking carefully at the middle-aged woman's reaction, Luo Xuan couldn't tell the difference between what the other party said was true and false for a while.
What if the other party suspects that he is a member of the public, a sixth-former, or a spy who comes to investigate?
In this case, the other party will certainly not admit it!
"forget about it."
Luo Xuan gestured to leave, "I'll ask a few more people to try."
The middle-aged woman snorted coldly, "I advise you to give up on this idea. If you don't have it, you won't find it if you ask 10 more companies."
The other two women following the middle-aged woman also came up and said, "Comrade, put away your evil thoughts!
The level of economic development in our Rongwei County is quite high. Everyone is busy going to work and making money every day, and they can't even make it through their own small lives, so there are no such people in the local area."
Another woman said, "Speaking of some nearby counties and cities, there are some people who come here to fish for those who are from outside. But as long as they are caught by us in Rongwei County, these people will have to repair the road for at least half a month.
, so that they can make some social contributions."
Luo Xuan was stunned, "Why build roads instead of imposing fines?"
"What's the use of fines? Who would do this if they have money?"
The middle-aged woman from before seemed quite disappointed with the handsome young man in front of her.
She replied coldly, "They have no money in the first place, and if they are fined, they still have to resort to crooked ways to earn it back? Didn't you see the slogan across the road, "If you want to be rich, build roads first"?"
"Oh I got it."
Luo Xuan quickly apologized, "It seems that my thoughts are too dirty and I need to purify my soul. Thanks to the elder sisters for reminding me, I will go to the work unit to handle the matter. When the matter is finished, I have to go back as soon as possible.
