Chapter 332 New Year's Eve Dinner on the Train
After the tense Spring Festival travel rush began, Xiao Yuanhang felt that time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. The Gu Huang group happened to take the train that day, which means that they would spend the night on New Year's Eve. The tradition of the train section is that the team that takes the shift on New Year's Eve must have leaders and crew members on the train. Xiao Yuanhang is responsible for Gu Huang group. Therefore, he and Xu Yanchun and others boarded the train to the Huanghai.
After the train 292 was about 14:45 minutes after the train was driving at 14:00 on New Year's Eve, there were not many passengers on the train, about 100 people, and most of them were short-distance passengers. After driving at Linjiatai Station, there were only 16 passengers left on the train, including 3 people in the hard sleeper compartment, 13 people in the hard seat compartment, and no passenger in the soft sleeper compartment, there were more than 50 passengers on the passenger compartment, and less than half of the passengers on the bus. This situation can only happen on New Year's Eve night.
Seeing that there were only 16 passengers left in the carriage, Xiao Yuanhang asked Xu Yanchun to send someone to gather the three passengers in the hard sleeper carriage into one carriage, and the 13 passengers in the hard seat carriage were also gathered in a hard seat carriage. A flight attendant was assigned to serve the sleeper and hard seats, and the rest went to the dining car to help make dumplings.
This dumpling is free. Before the trip, the white flour and dumpling filling were prepared and placed on the dining car. At the same time, the flight attendants who left the bus at night were subsidized for 3 yuan per person. The 41 flight attendants in the team gave a total of 123 yuan. After discussing, Xu Yanchun and Xiao Yuehua decided not to pay the money to everyone, but to buy vegetables and wine. They can’t live a more lively life in the car.
I bought a lot of chicken, fish, eggs and meat, and beer and liquor were moved to the car in boxes one by one. The flight attendants made dumplings and dumplings, packed chickens and fish, and packed chickens and fish. The flight attendant, the inspector, the dining car manager, Yang Dali, and several chefs got into the private room and played three to one. Due to the Chinese New Year, the game was quite large this time. 5 cents per bean, and the winner was 515. In other words, I have to win below 70. The other three people gave the dealer 5 cents, and the bald head was given to the dealer 1 yuan 5. If it was broken, the dealer gave the other three people 5 cents, and the dealer 5 cents per person, and the dealer 1 yuan 5. If it was 70, the winner was doubled.
Originally, the head of the dining car, Yang Dali and the sheriff Wang Keqin, were going to pull Xiao Yuanhang to play together, but Xiao Yuanhang was not interested in this thing. He lied that he didn't sleep all night last night and was really sleepy. He said he wanted to go to bed, so he got into the private room No. 1. It was already past 7 o'clock in the evening, and it was still early before the New Year's Eve dinner. Xiao was idle in the private room and took out a book he brought to read for a while. But when the train passed by a small town, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside the car, which made him unable to read. Suo threw down the book, looked at the big red lanterns flashing outside the window, and quietly sorted out the things about these days.
After returning from Linjiataizi Village, Commander Zhang stayed in Guhe for another day before boarding the return train. Of course, Xiao Yuanhang, in accordance with Tang Wanjun's instructions, asked Commander Zhang to call her and leave contact information with Xiao Yuanhang. Xiao Yuanhang helped contact the sleeper ticket. Since the Spring Festival travel rush had already begun at this time, the sleeper going to the pass was very nervous, but it was not difficult for Xiao Yuanhang to do so.
He gave Xu Wenbo the largest and fattest roe deer. Xiao Yuanhang just called him and said that a friend in the ditch had a roe deer and some elm and yelm mushrooms. He said that he would try it for Secretary Xu's family. Xu Wenbo refused, but after Xiao Yuanhang insisted, he still agreed to accept it. Then he called Guo Xiaoquan and asked him to take the roe deer back to find a meat seller to pick the meat off and clean it up. Secretary Xu wanted to take it back to his hometown for his family to spend the New Year. Of course, Guo Xiaoquan handled this matter cleanly. When Xu Wenbo went home to visit relatives before the Spring Festival, he specially transferred a gay man from the Municipal Party Committee Office and accompanied Xu Wenbo to the capital. There were more than 80 pounds of roe deer meat and two ribs. He couldn't handle one of them himself.
The stationery factory had just been produced for more than a month, and Xiao Yuanhang did not reward them like the one who rewarded Guoren Company, but instead offered them two months of salary together to allow them to have a good New Year. Even so, the workers were very excited. When they were working for No. 3 Middle School, it would be good not to deduct money. They dare not think about such things, and they were deeply grateful when they were excited.
On the wholesale stationery, although the work has not been over for a month, Xiao Yuanhang not only paid them a salary in advance, but also rewarded them with half a month's salary. Du Juan and Xiaoli and Xiaomei were both very excited. They were in a good mood to work for such a boss!
Xiao Yuanhang fell asleep as he thought about it. When Xu Yanchun came in and woke him up, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening. Xu Yanchun said: "Yuanhang, the food on the dining car has been prepared. Now it's dumplings. Go over, the meal is about to start!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuanhang hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister Xu, you go there first, I will wash my face and go there immediately."
After Xiao Yuanhang washed his face, he came to the dining car. Yang Dali and the others had already returned and were organizing meals. The 12 dining tables of the dining car could seat 48 people. The team and three crew members had more than 50 people, so they could only sit in the aisle. Seeing Xiao Yuanhang coming, Yang Dali called him to arrange him to the first seat of the first station, because Xiao Yuanhang is the biggest leader on the train and must be seated. The train who accompanied Xiao Yuanhang to take the first station was Xu Yanchun, the sheriff Wang Keqin and the inspector Zhao Baocheng. Yang Dali and deputy train conductor Xiao Yuehua took the second station.
The dishes on the table were already arranged, and they were waiting for the dumplings to start as soon as they were out of the pot. The dumplings were cooked and brought them up steaming. Xiao Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Brother Yang, this thirty-year-old has only 16 passengers on the bus. Do you want to give them some dumplings?"
Before Yang Dali could speak, the chef Liu Weixin, who had just lost money, said: "Then you can't give them food for nothing, you have to sell them one dollar at a time."
Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "Brother Yang, there are only 16 passengers in total, so we are not short of the ten or eight yuan."
Yang Dali glared at Liu Weixin and said, "When you go out during the Chinese New Year, you will be destined to meet him. Of course, you can't ask for money. Liu Weixin, you and Xiaofan will send dumplings to those passengers. Go and go back quickly, and you will have a good drink when you come back!"
When the dumplings were served, the wine was already poured. Xu Yanchun stood up with a glass of wine and said, "Everyone is quiet!" Seeing that everyone was silent, she looked at her, "Today is New Year's Eve. Although we cannot celebrate the New Year with our family due to work, we can make dumplings around the table to watch the Spring Festival Gala, I think it is more meaningful for us to celebrate the New Year together on the train. Today, the secretary of the Youth League Committee Duan and our old conductor, Comrade Xiao Yuanhang, gave up the opportunity to reunite with his family and got on the train to celebrate the New Year with us. Let us express our sincere thanks with warm applause!" (To be continued.
