Chapter 152 The way to load the car

In the pavilion on the second floor of the restaurant, Mr. Kang's face was still red, and he was really exhausted today. After drinking tea for a while, he said to Tsui Hark beside him: "Scholar, can you be used to living in Xiangzhou? What are your plans in the future?"

Tsui Hark said: "I am a kind of person who is at ease and lives well everywhere. The staff member was worried. The last time I went to Kaifeng Prefecture, I wanted to join my uncle who was a lowly man, but I didn't expect something to happen to her family, so I couldn't stay in the capital. Xiangzhou is not far from the camp and field affairs in Zaoyang, and the Du Guanren from Xuzhou is now in charge of camp and field. When I was at home, I was kind to Li Xiucai from Xuzhou. The Li family and the Du family were family friends, so I wanted to go there to join."

Mr. Kang: "Since you have a place to go, then let go and spend some time in Xiangzhou. This is a thousand-year-old ancient city, and there are countless places to visit. My Dalang has also read books and learned articles, so he can accompany you."

Tsui Hark bowed to thank him. When he heard that he had a relationship with Du Zhongxiao, Mr. Kang immediately changed and asked Mr. Kang to accompany him. The Xu family's scholarly family was originally from Yanling, Kaifeng Prefecture, not far from Xuzhou, and had more or less related to the scholars there. This is the benefit of scholars. If you can find people with friendship at any time after leaving the house, you may have a flower and bear fruit.

Mrs. Wang is Tsui Hark's cousin. The two were childhood sweethearts and were in love. However, Mrs. Wang had a marriage agreement when she was a child. She was a local family and a wealthy family in the local area. When she got older, Mrs. Wang was not satisfied with the marriage and wanted to marry her cousin. The Wang family talked to that family several times, but the family just disagreed and could only delay it year by year. This year, the family handed over the complaint to the county government, but it really couldn't delay it. Tsui Hark took his cousin away from home and eloped.

The Wang family was dissatisfied with the marriage and wanted to break off the engagement many times, so they turned a blind eye to Tsui Hark and the two of them elope. It was just that after a few years, the rice was cooked and the road was ready to be done. Just pay some money to the rich family. I couldn't live in the capital, but it was because the rich family got the news and sent someone to chase him. The Tsui Hark and his wife had to follow Kang Yuanwai and others to Xiangzhou. Tsui Hark was a person who liked to travel around and didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of drifting life, so they just thought it was a traveler. The Xu family had land and houses in the countryside, so they were not short of money.

When the food and food came up, several staff members ate and slowly turned to the topic of transporting goods by train.

Mr. Kang was still worried about his carriage and said angrily: "How many times have those loading goods been said, but they just don't care when they start working! I can see that the car can still hold twenty or thirty boxes! Twenty or thirty boxes, thousands of kilograms of tea! If I hired people to transport them to the capital in previous years, how much transportation costs would be spent! Oh, I was so angry when I remembered this!"

Mr. Jiang said: "Forget it, whose carriage is full? The train stops for those times without waiting for anyone. What can I do?"

Mr. Li sighed repeatedly: "I think it's because the people at the station deliberately made it difficult for us. The stop here in Xiangzhou was short. I heard that they would stop for half an hour when they arrived in Xinye! There was no loading of goods there, so what should I do if I stopped. - Otherwise, we will prepare some gifts tomorrow and look for the wooden management office that manages the station? In most of the time, we will be able to load all the goods."

Mr. Jiang said: "When the train first opened, we had already given gifts to the Wood Management Officer. Do you have to be filial to him all the time? The train stops at the station and does not necessarily have to load the goods. I heard that we have to avoid the car, otherwise we will hit the oncoming car. Forget it, there is no way to do this."

Tsui Hark said on the side: "Dear men, I also went to the station to check today. According to the parking time, I can fill up the goods."

Mr. Li said: "We have pretended three times and thought of countless ways. Isn't this the case? I'm pretending to be dissatisfied when I stop for those times!"

Mr. Kang heard that Tsui Hark and Du Zhongxiao had a friendship. Seeing that he was different from before, he said, "Scholars are scholars, so naturally there are more ways than those of us. Scholars, you tell me, how can I fill up the goods in such a short time?"

Tsui Hark said: "This is simple. The train carriages are the same, the size is exactly the same, and the cargo is loaded as much as possible. We try how to load them early so that all the tea boxes can be loaded in the shortest time. Then before the train, the tea boxes are numbered and the numbers are written outside the box. After the car arrives, let the loaders load according to the number. It is not difficult to set up the number where to load them early and load them in order."

After hearing this, Mr. Li nodded repeatedly: "It turns out that he is a scholar, so there are many ways! According to this method, you won't panic, and you may be able to fill it. If the car is full, we can make more money! - But, the car has left, how do you know the size of the car?"

Tsui Hark said: "I saw that there were some cars parked there in the station. We just need to measure it. When we got home, we made a carriage as big as the carriage with wooden boards and tried to install it skillfully."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Kang Yuanwai clapped his hands repeatedly. "With some methods, I am no longer afraid of the carriage being empty! In order to pretend that I am not satisfied these days, I have no desire to eat and suffer countless troubles! Scholar, drink a cup!"

After drinking a glass of wine with Tsui Hark, Mr. Kang felt comfortable in his body and mind, and his worries for a few days were wiped out. These businessmen spent money like water on weekdays, but when they were doing business, they felt uncomfortable if they made less money. In the past few days, every time they packed dozens of boxes, everyone felt that they had a stone pressed on their chests, which was not good to eat or sleep well, and they didn’t know how uncomfortable it was. Tsui Hark solved this problem and became happy all of a sudden.

After using some wine and meat, Mr. Kang said, "It's not too early, scholar, let's go to the station to measure the size of the car? After returning home, we can create one so that the loaders can practice it first so that they will not miss things tomorrow. If this is done well, I will thank you very much!"

Tsui Hark said: "Some small things are so important. We're already full of wine and food, so let's go."

Several officials couldn't wait, so they returned to the station with Tsui Hark.

They all couldn't put tea boxes in the station, and the people at the station did not stop them. When they entered the station, they saw the empty car parked on the railway and hurriedly surrounded them. After looking back and forth several times, they each estimated the size of the car in their minds.

Mr. Li: "For a slight reason, what are you doing here when you park some empty carriages at the station? Why not hang a few more cars in the car and transport more goods?"

Tsui Hark said: "I heard that a car can only transport so much cargo on the front of a car, and if there are more, you can't run. Park some empty cargoes here, first, prevent any cargoes from being damaged on the road, so that they can be filled in time. Another thing is that there are light and heavy goods. If there are fewer sections, the light ones can be hung a few more sections. Of course, it may have other uses, so I don't know if it's down."

Mr. Jiang said: "I have read it several times and I have already remembered the size of this carriage! How about you?"

Mr. Li said: "No hurry, I need to read it a few more times, and I feel a little uneasy."

Tsui Hark looked at the two of them and said strangely: "How accurate is such a large car? What's the use of memorizing it? One is not good. If you remember it wrong, you will miss it tomorrow. There is a rope for a tea box tied there. We took it and measured it, wouldn't it be fine."

After saying that, I went to the place where the tea box was piled, took a few ropes, and together with Mr. Kang, I measured the inch of the carriage. The three ropes happened to be the length, width and height of the carriage, so Mr. Kang was collected. I went back and used wooden boards to make a model of the carriage according to the length of the rope.

Mr. Li slapped his head: "We are not as good as scholars in their heads, so what are they remembering!"
