Chapter 513
wu wu!
The steam-powered locomotive emits a lot of white smoke, pulling a long train of steel cars on the rails, running out of the speed of a galloping horse.
Looking at the scenery on both sides quickly retreating, as well as the soft seat in which he was sitting, and the small table in front of him, Joelhan gratefully said: "Thank you! Mr. Levy...I...I didn't expect, You also raised my seat for me and came to the second-class carriage..."
With his poor savings, he can only buy a third-class ticket at most, which is not enough.
As for the third-class carriage?
It is located just behind the locomotive, it has to withstand the harsh smell and dust of a large amount of coal burning, and it is packed like a can of sardines.
Basically, after every passenger stays for a long time, they will turn into a dark color.
The second-class car has a more comfortable position, with four people sitting opposite each other, and there is a small wooden table in the middle. There will be a dining car passing by at noon and evening.
As for the higher-level first-class cars, they are said to be more luxurious, but they are only open to nobles and decent people.
"You are welcome."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled gracefully, and secretly thought in his heart:'Young man...you are still too naive...'
To buy train tickets, you also need proof of identity!
He didn't have this thing naturally, and Joelhan couldn't find a suitable reason, he was easily rejected, and even provoke the police.
Zhong Shenxiu noticed that the security force in the train station has been improved.
I am afraid that soon, the news of the war will be fully spread, the steam train will spare no effort, to deal with the needs of various materials and the military, and the station is under martial law, and Joelhan will not even want to run. .
However, he was lucky to meet Zhong Shenxiu.
The inspections and interrogations along the way were all dismissed by Zhong Shenxiu with a blank piece of paper.
It seems that Joelhan is riding a steam train for the first time, looking at the scenery outside the window with excitement, and can't bear to look away for a long time.
Zhong Shenxiu casually glanced at the guests traveling with him.
A young gentleman with slightly brown curly hair, thin body, and glasses. He is wearing a double-breasted woolen black gown, a bowler hat, and a silver inlaid in his hand. The short rod looks very decent and restrained.
'The current temperature...isn't it low? It’s even a little hot...'
Zhong Shenxiu glanced at the shirts between himself and Joelhan:'Or...this is the dress of the upper class, because the upper class does not need to work by themselves, so the clothes are all More warm and thick? '
As for the last passenger, it was a young woman wearing a fine checkered dress. She wore a soft hat with a veil on her head, covering the little half of her face, curiously His eyes were looking around, and Joelhan, who was a bumpkin in the country, obviously caught her attention, and was pretended to glance several times inadvertently.
Joelhan's ears suddenly turned red, and he retracted his gaze out of the window and sat down in a precarious manner.
clang dong clang dong ……
The long time on the steam train is really boring, and there are still eight hours of long time from Chariaston.
Finally, Joelhan couldn't bear it and whispered: "Mr. Levy, do you have any suggestions for arriving at Creston?"
Get on the journey After the train, his courage seemed to gradually run out, full of confusion and restless about the future.
"When you go to a big city, the most important thing is to find a place to stay, otherwise you will definitely be caught by the street sweeping police at night. If you don’t have a work certificate, it will be very troublesome. ......"
Zhong Shenxiu smiled. Although he has not been there, he can barely guess something.
"Then...I will find a job right away, it can be a short-term job, and the most important thing is to get a work certificate... After all, according to what you said, the kingdom is very strict in managing homeless people, but As long as you have a work certificate, you will not be caught... I think if you are unwilling to enter the factory, going to the dock may be an option, but beware of gangs, it is best to join some union or circle organized by your hometown people …In the capital, it’s always easy for outsiders to stay warm..."
"You really have a lot of knowledge..."
Joelhan exclaimed sincerely.
'No, I just guessed...' Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes in his heart, and immediately heard Joelhan's question: "But...I don't want to do hard work all my life, I heard Chariaston is full of gold."
"puchi!"
The polite young gentleman suddenly laughed, then took off his hat and apologized: "Sorry...but I To correct one point, Chariaston is not everywhere gold. It is a paradise for the rich and aristocrats, but for the poor, it is not so friendly..."
"A kind reminder is always good, even if some Ear-piercing!" Zhong Shenxiu nodded, said with a smile: "Levy, may you be?"
"Just call me Kerry."
The young gentleman responded with a smile. Polite and decent, and looked towards Joelhan: "You want to find a good job, what is your education level? Do you have proof of elementary education?"
"Sorry...I... I don't know how to read!"
Jorhan felt the lady's gaze come over, and suddenly lowered his head.
"Although I am sorry, I still have to say that your education level determines that a lot of decent jobs are closed to you. After all, professionals need to study and accumulated over a long period of Time experience, such as doctors, lawyers..."
Kerry sighed: "Mr. Levy's suggestion is very pertinent. You must gain a foothold in Chariaston before you can think about other issues... Well, you are not old , While working during the day, you can also sign up for some literacy courses in the church at night. It is free, and you can also listen to the greatness of the “Master of the Door”. After passing a certificate of the most basic level of education, you may pass the church To find some good jobs, such as...noble butlers, or waiters in restaurants and clubs...that’s at least easier than coolies. Mr. Levy, what do you think?"
" A pertinent proposal!"
Zhong Shenxiu nodded, seeing Joelhan’s bewildered eyes, he couldn’t help adding: "A good life is created by my own hands. Now that I have made a decision, I can only No matter how hard it is, go on..."
He is also very good at filling chicken soup.
"Thank you..."
Joelhan forced down his depression and reluctantly said with a smile: "Thank you for your suggestions, I will seriously consider it."
p>gu gu!
At this moment, his stomach made a cry of disappointing again.
"It’s time for lunch, Mr. Levy, shall we go to the restaurant together or wait for the dining car to pass by?"
Kerry took out a beautifully shaped pocket watch and opened it. At a glance, smiled and asked.
"I think..."
Zhong Shenxiu just wanted to answer, suddenly looked up.
Above 10,000 meters in the sky, there was a harsh sonic boom!
