Wu Jiuyan's arrogance made everyone feel uncomfortable. Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan opened his mouth and wanted to criticize this old poisonous snake a few more times, but found that it was difficult to find an entry point. He could only kill people with a nod of his head. Everyone thought that

You are a toad sitting in a well watching the sky, how else can you spray?

"Mr. Wu, Chinese God of Cooking, King of Noodles, etc., it's better not to mention it anymore. I'm just a cook on the train, a diligent junior. Are you not flattering me by saying this?"

Zhou Zhou walked out of the dining car kitchen with a smile: "It's not far after the Jinling Magic City. We will arrive at the terminal of this journey in two or three hours at most.

I just hope that everyone can be satisfied with the service of the dining car. By the way, our dining car is not yet a contract system and is subject to supervision and management by superiors, so I hope that everyone can say more good things in the dining car's opinion book."

"Yes, before you know it, we will be arriving in the Magic City. Master Xiao Zhou, will your next shift be in seven days?"

"Yes, Master Xiao Zhou, you will definitely follow the car in seven days, right?

I have decided not to go back to Tianjin for the time being. Isn’t there news that x164 will change part of the journey? That would be interesting! I know Master Xiao Zhou’s ability. He will cook local delicacies wherever he goes.

And it’s absolutely authentic!

The introduction is not to be missed, am I right?

There is just one thing, Master Xiao Zhou, is this news true?"

No matter how good Zhouzhou’s cooking skills are, most passengers will not follow the train blindly because of this. After all, there are still only a few people with money and leisure like Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan. Most people still have to return to reality after this unforgettable journey.

, busy running for life.

However, there are many people who decide to continue to follow Zhouzhou for the sake of delicious food. Jinmen eldest brother, Shaofa has already stated that he will continue to 'chasing stars'. Boss Cao sat aside and did not say anything, but he seemed to be a little moved. As for Zhang Zhouxuan

Not to mention the old man, there is now Wu Jiuyu who considers himself a 'toad'.

Nowadays, the development speed of China Railway is the first in the world. The eastern coastal areas and several provinces in the Central Plains are all high-speed rail trains. Even in the southwest, southeast, and northeastern regions, the coverage rate of high-speed rail trains and T-prefix is ​​close to

Ninety percent.

The route of x164 is too long. From the capital to Tibet, it has to go through several coastal provinces, Zhongzhou, and Qinchuan. These areas are densely populated with high line overlap rates. Even Xihai Province is now trying to connect high-speed trains. With the increase in

The T-shaped express train x164 often stops to give way because it is waiting for the line. This is actually a huge waste of railway resources.

So Aunt Xia received the news not long ago that x164 can be retained temporarily, but the route will be greatly adjusted. It will be changed to Xiangfan, passing through Sichuan Province and going north to Jincheng, and then passing through the ancient Silk Road, entering

After going through a big circle in Xijiang, we return to Xihai Province and enter Tibet via the Kunlun Pass.

After changing the route in this way, we can avoid some areas with a high train overlap rate and enrich Xiangxi, Southern Sichuan, Yongbei and Xijiang Province where there are relatively few trains.

Although this change seems to put the x164 into the cold palace, it is also very consistent with the positioning of the x164 tourist train. The section from Yongbei through Yumen Pass and then into Western Xinjiang is the Chinese section of the ancient Silk Road.

The scenery on the road is beautiful, the landforms are varied, and the scenery is countless.

Although the conditions on the road are a bit more difficult, and even the supply capacity of each station is very limited, who doesn't know that there is a well-established 'Fat Man's Group' standing behind Aunt Xia? It is said that this matter even made the big bosses of the Railway Bureau

Once upon a time I was talking about it.

"There is no final decision yet on whether x164 can depart on time in seven days."

Zhouzhou smiled and said: "The route will definitely be changed. Our train conductor has also received the news. In the future, x164 will be rerouted to Xiangfan to enter Sichuan, traveling north from south Sichuan, and enter Xijiang along the ancient Silk Road; because of the railway resources in Xijiang

There is a shortage of trains and there are too few trains, so x164 will make a big circle from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang, and then turn back to Xihai Province and enter Tibet.

The x164 will be completely transformed into a tourist train, and will also become the green train with the most stops and the longest mileage in China."

"Well, that's a bit interesting. It's the green train with the longest mileage in China. You should be able to apply for the Guinness World Record, right?"

Brother Jinmen suddenly became excited: "Master Xiao Zhou, I need to get a few more 'sugar cookies', otherwise I won't be able to bear the hunger. By the way, if this route is changed, the mileage will probably exceed 10,000 kilometers, right?"

China is 5,500 kilometers long from east to west. The x164 train starts from the capital city and goes all the way west. In the middle, it has to enter Sichuan and then turn to Yongbei. It also has to make a big circle in Xijiang, the largest province in the country. This is over 10,000 kilometers no matter how you calculate it.

It is no exaggeration to say that it can apply for Guinness World Records.

"Well, I heard from the train conductor that if the route is really changed like this, the total mileage should be more than 11,000 kilometers."

Zhou Zhou was actually very excited when he heard the news yesterday. It is the dream of many Chinese people to walk the Silk Road again, but he can walk in the footsteps of his predecessors while working, and some people pay five insurances and one housing fund, so he can go back.

What a wonderful thing it is to be able to take paid vacations?

"However, changing the route will bring a series of problems. The railway bureaus and dispatching sections need to be connected and arranged, and the train itself will also need to be greatly changed. Because the mileage will become longer, I heard that only one or two hard-seat carriages will be retained.

The rest of the carriages will be converted into sleeper carriages, which will reduce the passenger capacity, but it will ensure that every passenger gets more adequate rest."

"That's right. Since it is positioned as a tourist train, it should add sleeper carriages. Otherwise, it will easily travel thousands of kilometers and even an Iron Man will not be able to carry it?"

The passengers nodded one after another. It seems that the Shanghai Railway Bureau is not confused? It is a very wise move to add sleeper carriages and position tourist trains.

Is the Shanghai Railway Bureau wise?

When Zhouzhou heard a passenger say this, he would secretly shake his head. The news from Aunt Xia was not like this. The Modu Railway Bureau originally wanted to directly cancel the x164 and change it to the D164 that departs directly from Modu to Xihai Station.

, if passengers want to go to Tibet, they need to transfer to those T-shaped express trains from Xihai.

In this way, the Magic City Railway Bureau will become the only 'pioneer bureau' in China that grasps the pulse of the times, leads railway reform, and completely eliminates green trains.

For this reason, Aunt Xia once tried to plead with her old superiors to find a way to keep x164.

But I didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse. Not only was the x164 not abolished, but it was changed to become China's first tourist train. This was a positioning directly given by the Railway Bureau, and it was different from the previous 'x164' with a tourist nature.

And words.

Even Aunt Xia was baffled as to why things suddenly changed. Her old superiors in the past probably didn't have such great energy, not to mention that she hadn't asked for help yet.

"Xiao Zhou, I have one more question, old man. The number of sleeper cars is going to increase. What about the dining cars? Where is the kitchen in the dining cars?"

Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan felt happy and said with a smile: "The most fascinating thing about the journey is not only the scenery, but also the food! The current dining car is too cramped and the kitchen is too small. Aren't x164 ready to make changes?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, your proposal is very good. I support it!"

Wu Jiuyan chuckled and said: "Master Xiao Zhou, you don't know how pitiful a picky-mouthed person like me is. It's so difficult to find a good chef. The key is that the price is affordable and won't let me go bankrupt."

, so I have already thought about it...

Anyway, I am alone, with no wife, no children, and some spare money. Where can I go? From now on, as long as you are here, I, Wu Jiuyu, will rely on x164.

I don’t care about anything else, but I care about the expansion of the dining car, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to have to make a reservation and queue up every time.”

Oh, co-author, you are an old widower? Yes! You deserve such retribution for your foul mouth!

Everyone looked at Wu Jiuyu with gloating, feeling extremely happy in their hearts; but the old guy was right, x164's dining car should be expanded, and this was related to everyone's vital interests.

Zhou Zhou nodded with a smile: "Everyone can rest assured. The train conductor has already applied to the railway bureau. It is estimated that there will not be any big problems. When the approval comes from the above, the dining car of x164 will be expanded to two sections. At the same time, the kitchen area of ​​the dining car will be expanded."

It will also be at least doubled.

If you come to the dining car in the future, you won’t have to wait in such a long line.”

In fact, Aunt Xia also suggested that he be contracted for the dining car. Now most of the money earned from the dining car has to be handed over, and the very little profit left can only be used to give everyone a bonus or something. This is too much of a loss.

Now that the Huaxia Railway system has been comprehensively reformed, even the dining cars of high-speed trains have been contracted out. It is said that this can play a role in "reducing staff and increasing efficiency", and it will also make it easier to transfer conflicts.

If Zhou Zhou agrees to the contract, he can keep most of the profits and distribute them himself, and the crew will also benefit from this. However, he will become a "suspension without pay" personnel who is still on the payroll but has no salary, five insurances and one housing fund.

If you mess up, you might lose money.

Just look at the hot scene in the dining car and you will know that losing money is completely impossible here in Zhouzhou, but the problem is how to convince the parents?

People of my parents' generation value work more than anything else. Without wages, five insurances and one housing fund, wouldn't they become second-rate?

Zhou Zhou estimated that his father's test would be easier. After all, he was a master who had long dreamed of opening up a peach blossom garden. It would be difficult for his mother to pass this test.

My mother has been getting angry recently because of my father's affairs. If I take a leave of absence without pay to engage in contracting, wouldn't that be an act of anger?

So in the end, Zhou Zhou didn't agree to Aunt Xia's kindness, and planned to wait until he got home to see what the situation was like. In order to succeed in this matter, he must first start with his father and bring him to the united front.

Only by letting me realize my current strength can there be a glimmer of hope.

Zhou Zhou decided to contract the kitchen. He was not alone in the dining car kitchen. Even if Xie Guangyun and He Wuhuo were not short of money, they still had to answer to the fat man.

Fatty has already said that this time he will go back to Shanghai to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. How much does it cost to get married in Magic City? Fatty’s salary is not to mention raising a wife. I’m afraid it will be difficult to even support himself.
