After leaving the office, Wu Zhinan went to the supermarket to buy a few large suitcases and returned to his temporary home. His family had already rested for half a day and were finally able to catch their breaths. He asked his family to repack their luggage and went out to buy more if it was not enough. Seoul was different from Min Province. Even though it was summer, it was cold in the mornings and mornings. The clothes brought from Min Province could not withstand the cold wind here.
After visiting a few commercial buildings in Seoul, Wu Zhinan had a clear understanding of the material situation in Sinha because he had a shopping guide by his side, Lin Caixia. Every time she saw an item, she would compare it with similar items in Min Province, such as whether it was expensive, how much more expensive, and whether it was suitable. This was a woman who knew how to spend her money. She was not stingy with her money, but the things she bought were not bad either. His parents looked at the clothes she had picked for them and were very satisfied.
Lin Caixia asked Wu Zhinan if they needed to buy anything on the train, as the things on the train were more expensive. Wu Zhinan told her that the train fare would be paid for by the government. The chief steward was Qian Yu, and they would be having dinner together later. If there was anything they wanted to eat, they could just tell the chief steward.
His mother was worried about the money and asked Wu Zhinan where he got so much money. Wu Zhinan told her that he had gotten an advance of a month's salary, which was basically enough. His mother asked how much the salary would be, and Wu Zhinan told her that New Korea's salary standard was higher because it followed the same standard as Shin Myung Province, which was 10,000 yuan in Xinming currency. If it was converted to Renmin currency, it would be more than 12,000 yuan.
Comparing the situation in the shopping mall before, his mother had an idea. This income should be enough to support a family of four.
In the last carriage of the westbound train, there was a group of people from Kunling Province. Such a simple way of taking office reminded people of the Chinese cadres taking office in the early 1950s. As long as there was an order, they would set off with their backpacks. Nowadays, such a situation could no longer be seen in China. It was even more remarkable for a ministerial leader to take office with a large entourage. Looking at the entire soft sleeper carriage, there were no more than 36 people including family members. 36 people. In China, even an office would have more people than this.
Qian Yu, the chief steward, gave Wu Zhinan a private room, which was just enough for four people. He and Zhang Weide shared a private room with two other staff members, while Zhou Qing's family of three occupied a private room. When they got on the train in the morning, Chief Steward Qian found two electric rockers for Wu Zhinan so that his family could take them to the train station. In a place like Seoul, there were very few regular taxis. Those that hailed were mainly unlicensed taxis. Ever since a large number of Chinese entered the country, they found that this was a very empty industry. A large number of simple electric tricycles were transferred from Weichuan, and for a time, the streets and alleys were filled with such green vehicles. This type of simple electric tricycle was completely enclosed. It could shelter from rain and wind, but there was no air conditioning. Including the driver, it could only seat three people. However, this means of transportation is quite economical, very fast, and the investment is small. For those who have just migrated to China and are not in good economic conditions, this is an excellent way to make a living. For a new country like New Korea, using this kind of thing is not a bad thing.
Basically, every family that migrated from Japan had a small car. Most of the families drove this small car across China from Lianyungang to Khorgos before entering New Korea. When they came in, they were shocked that New Korea still has such a backward means of transportation. But after a while, they found out that this thing is very practical, especially in a country like New Korea.
Sitting in the car, Wu Zhinan asked the driver how much this car costs. The driver told him that in China, in Weichuan, this car costs more than 4,000 RMB without the battery. Ordinary batteries can also be used, but it can't run. It's better to use a galloping battery. A 3,000 RMB battery can run 300 to 400 km with a single charge. It can run for two to three days in the city, and most people use this kind of battery. If it's a Shenglong battery, it will be amazing. But most people are not willing to use it.
Wu Zhinan thought that when he arrives in Hanning, he will also need to buy a batch of such cars as official vehicles in the city. In Min Province, he has seen electric police cars that are very friendly to the people. They can stop at a call. He has also seen patrol officers on electric bicycles patrolling the streets. It's very convenient for city management to patrol the streets. But this place is different. The weather is cold, and it must be fully enclosed. It's an open type, and it will freeze people. As for using it as a rental car, Wu Zhinan does not recommend it. If a large number of untrained people drive on the streets, there will be serious safety risks. At the very least, it should be at the level of Wind in the Sky, and the driver must be licensed.
Wu Zhinan quickly got into his role and began to consider the problem from the perspective of his job. Once again, he used facts to prove that one's position determines one's head.
The railway from Seoul to Hanning is 2,000 km, and the actual travel time is 17 hours. They leave at 11 am on the first day and arrive at 6 am on the next day.
After finishing the dinner prepared by Qian Yu, the family sat on the lower bunk and discussed a question raised by Wu Zhinan's father. What can they do in Hanning? Xinhan is a country that collects a poll tax, and everyone has to pay it. Wu Zhinan's salary is more than enough to support the family, but with the poll tax, he is not rich.
His mother suggested that Wu Zhinan think of a way to get Lin Caixia into the civil service as well. He did not expect Lin Caixia to refuse, saying that there is no need for both of them to be civil servants. It is better for them to do something else. His father said that everything needs capital. If the capital is small, you can't do big things. If you can't do big things, you can't make a lot of money. If you can't make a lot of money, it will be very hard. Lin Caixia said that she wants to open a specialty snack shop in Hanning, carefully choosing a few Min Province snacks that are suitable for Central Asia. In the end, Lin Caixia said that if it is done well, it will be a chain in Xinhan. This kind of thing has low investment and quick results. First, they have to earn back the poll tax.
His mother was very much in favor and listed a lot of Min Province snacks.
His father is more cultured and has learned the selection method. He said that he will first investigate the climate in Kunling. As for food preferences, it can be ignored, because the original residents have none. Even if they have food preferences, it is the preferences of China and Japan. The most important thing is to select which snack to make. There cannot be too many varieties, but it must have characteristics, be able to buy raw materials locally, have development prospects, be replicable, and have a certain level of skill.
"Min Yu Xiang," Wu Zhinan suggested, "How about this name?"
"Tsk, it is also fine to make 'tsk'." His mother began to recite the Min Province's "Zhi" with great familiarity. "Fan Zhi, Taro, Mung Bean Zhi, Nine Layer Bamboo Zhi, White Star Zhi, Green Onion Zhi, Fried White Sugar Zhi, Fried Brown Sugar Zhi, Glutinous Rice Zhi, Mung Bean Zhi, Shredded Radish, Spinach Spinach Zhi, Bamboo Stick …"
"Mom, stop counting!" Lin Caixia shouted, "If you count any more, my saliva will come out."
"It is a bit monotonous to just make 'tsk'. There must be vegetables, dried meat, and soup." His father is more experienced.
"I recommend one: Caspian Sea Fish Paste Rolls," Wu Zhinan said, "Kunling is near the Caspian Sea, and there are very good fresh fish. We can make our own tofu skin, and the raw materials are easier to find. Mom, you know how to make fish paste rolls, right? "
"Yes!" His mother answered affirmatively, "First, beat the fresh fish meat into fish paste, cut the fatty meat into thin strips, and beat the duck eggs into egg liquid. Then, mix the fish paste and fatty meat well, add the dry starch, egg liquid, refined salt, MSG, and water, and mix well to form the stuffing. Spread the tofu skin flat, add the stuffing, roll it into a roll, steam it in a basket, cool it a little, cut it into pieces, and fry it with peanuts until golden brown. Serve it with vinegar, chili sauce, tomato slices, and fragrant lai. "
"I suggest an improved Fish Paste Soup, a small bowl, four Fish Paste Balls, thick beef bone soup, and a little coriander." Lin Caixia said, "Every customer who comes to our restaurant can have a bowl of Fish Paste Soup, a small plate of fish paste rolls, and a vegetable paste. It will be a good meal."
"You women are okay, but I am afraid the men can't. They can't eat their fill. This place is cold, and the appetite of people will be bigger. " His father said, "What is it like to be hungry and cold? I am already a few decades old. I didn't know in the past, but I have tasted it this time."
The family felt all sorts of feelings welling up in their hearts. Lin Caixia said, "Hubby, you are the poorest governor I have ever seen!"
"Hahahaha, I became a governor by chance. Who knew that an exiled criminal could become a governor?" Wu Zhinan laughed, "But the governor of New Korea is about the same as the governor of our country at the beginning of the country. The treatment of riding a bicycle to work can't be compared to the current governor of our country. The difference is like heaven and earth."
His father said, "I remember that the first governor of Min Province was called Zhang Dingcheng. He was born into a poor peasant family in West Lake Village, Yongding Jinsha Village. He participated in farm work since he was young, so he knew how difficult life was. He struggled hard all his life, and lived a simple and thrifty life. Zhang Dingcheng was very concerned about the villages. Although he was in a high position, he was very considerate of the people's feelings and was used to running to the grassroots. He emphasized many times that the cadres of the Communist Party of China 'are all servants who serve the people. How the people live is the most important thing.' They 'should always keep the people's lives in mind.' They should always keep the people's lives in mind. 'They should always maintain their true colors as the people's best servants. As people who grew up in the same water, you should learn from him. Don't think that being a civil servant in New Korea is a guaranteed income. In fact, being an official in New Korea is very risky. If you make a mistake, you will never be able to turn over a new leaf. "
"Then what should we do? Who can never make a mistake? "Lin Caixia said," How can we avoid the risks? Being an official in our country advocates crossing the river by feeling the stones. It is normal to make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will be a good comrade. "
"Do things according to the law, act according to the law, think hard, and have the courage to take responsibility." Wu Zhinan said, "New Korea has cloned all the laws and regulations of Shin Myung Province. Currently, they require a complete imitation. If there are any special circumstances, report to the higher-ups. If there are special circumstances, special circumstances will be dealt with. I will work hard in my job and will not support you too much. In terms of funds, I will coordinate with the bank and use the method of mutual guarantee loans. "
"Hubby, I can guarantee that you will become a good official." Lin Caixia said.
"I will work hard. Thank you for your encouragement." Wu Zhinan answered formally. Everyone laughed.
