Chapter 224 Entering the city
Thanks to the Fire Eagle, Old Man Chang's repair shop can now earn more than 10,000 yuan every day, and one day the peak revenue reached 30,000 yuan.
Thirty thousand Lansa coins is nothing to many people in the city, but in this area it is a sky-high price. Old man Chang was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights. If this continues, Chang Xiaowu's medical expenses will be enough.
Got it all together...
Seven days later, after finishing his day's work, Old Man Chang settled the wages of the past few days to Xilin and Biller after dinner. Xilin's salary was agreed upon long ago, while Biller's salary was based on performance as mentioned before.
Calculated final income.
In this way, Xilin has 50,000, Bile has 20,000, and Old Man Chang himself has nearly 100,000. Originally, Old Man Chang wanted to share more with them, but Xilin and Bile refused. In addition, he had to save money for Chang Xiao.
Old man Chang didn't say much about the fifth treatment, but he took care of all the food and other things.
While the gray cat was licking its paws, it was thinking about when Xilin would be able to buy some fish crackers when he went to the city. He missed it quite a lot.
"By the way, I can't find enough parts to look at today. In recent days, several big customers need several important parts for the maintenance of their flying cars. I took a look and found that there don't seem to be these kinds of parts in our area. I guess I have to go to the city.
." Xilin said.
The gray cat's ears stood upright as it pricked its ears, and its eyes lit up as it looked at Xilin.
Old man Chang nodded and gave 20,000 yuan directly to Xilin. Xilin didn't refuse. According to old man Chang's temperament, he couldn't refuse the money. After accepting the money, he asked what else he needed to buy. Old man Chang thought about it one by one.
List, but the most important thing is to ask Xilin to help pay attention to the big hospitals in the city. When he asked a few years ago, a comprehensive treatment would cost at least 100,000 Lansa coins, and this did not include the subsequent rehabilitation treatment. I just don’t know.
What's going on now.
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Xilin recently checked Chang Xiaowu's physical condition. After treatment with buffering drugs, he has indeed improved a lot. At least the success rate for the comprehensive treatment project will be much higher. In addition, Chang Xiaowu's mentality has been quite good these days.
, the number of times I laugh is also increasing day by day, which is a good sign.
"Then I will be the one to take the lead tomorrow!" Bile was eager to give it a try. He patted Xilin on the shoulder and said, "As long as I'm here, you can go without worry!"
Xilin: "..." Why does this sound so awkward?
Knowing that Xilin was going to the city, Chang Xiaoqi didn't sleep at night. He was much more excited than Chang Xiaoba last time, making Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba jealous.
Going into the city, it seems like they have never been into the city in their entire lives.
Early the next morning, Xilin hugged Chang Xiaoqi and boarded the passenger train bound for the city. After all, Chang's family's already dilapidated passenger train was not easy to fly into the city.
The passenger trains have been overcrowded recently. Many more trains have been opened, and the prices have gone up again and again. But so far, every train is full, and there are no seats for those who move slower. If this was the case before, we could still squeeze in a little harder.
As long as there is a little space, people will be crammed in, but now the entrance to the city is strictly inspected. Overloading is strictly prohibited. If an overloaded car is found, it will not only be a matter of fines, but the speeding car will be directly detained and the driver will be sentenced.
So now everyone is relatively calm.
Many people sitting on the passenger train went to the city to try their luck. When Xilin was in the repair shop, he could often hear the waiting car owners talking about the recent situation in the city, who and so and so got lucky, so and so and so and so.
The listeners were more and more excited each time they were told about someone's favor and so on.
Regardless of whether those are true or not, more and more people are going to the city to try their luck. Some people who were still waiting around before now can’t sit still after hearing those rumors, pack up their things and run to the city. Even some
The owner of a repair shop with a relatively good business couldn't stand still, so he closed his shop and rushed to the city. Even if the business is good, isn't it just a life of a lower-class commoner? How many generations have been guarding the same store in this small and poor place?
If you can get the favor of the nobles, if you can get a chance, then who will care about this small store?
Therefore, Old Man Chang's shop gained a lot. He bought parts and other supplies in large quantities several times at very low prices. Old Man Chang made a lot of money.
Even on the bus, the topics that the passengers talked about were closely centered around those few success stories. They talked about it as if they themselves were at the scene at the time. They talked about it impassionedly, but secretly they could not hide their jealousy and jealousy.
longing for.
Chang Xiaoqi is a person who can't sit still. After getting in the car, she would lean on the window and look at the scenery outside the car. Even the boring natural scenery can be viewed with great interest.
"Look, look! That's the Star Tower!" a passenger shouted excitedly.
"Really..."
"Let me see! Let me see!"
For a moment, the passengers in the car stopped talking about the previous topic, and all their faces were pressed against the window and looking out. There were images on the display, but after all, they were not seen with their own eyes. Only seeing them in person would be a worthwhile experience.
Something to show off.
The Star Tower is the tallest tower on the planet and the landmark building in the city. When you see the Star Tower, it means that the city is not far away.
Seeing Chang Xiaoqi's face almost squeezed into a pie, Xilin smiled and rubbed Chang Xiaoqi's head, "Why are you so anxious? You can see clearly later."
"Yeah!" Although Chang Xiaoqi responded, her little face was still pressed against the window to look out, "It would be great if Xiaoliu, Xiaoba and Fifth Brother could see it."
"It's okay, let's come together next time."
"Really?!"
"real."
"Okay!" Chang Xiaoqi smiled brightly, and the guilt and regret just now were suddenly cleared away.
After entering the city, Chang Xiaoba was very quiet. Old man Chang had told them not to talk nonsense in the city. Although he remained silent, his eyes could not stop looking around.
The passenger shuttle was parked in a parking lot on the edge of the city. This parking lot was set up to cater for shuttles arriving from civilian areas. From a glance, there were people dressed in similar clothes, but you couldn't tell the difference here.
There are also private estates or large factories of wealthy people outside the city, but those and factories have designated parking lots in the city, and the conditions are much more luxurious. They are not as crowded and old as here.
Moreover, some of the small shops around the parking lot are almost not completely urban residents, just like the customer introduced by Band. They only live on the edge of the city, but even so, they feel that compared to the place in the civilian area,
They have an absolute sense of superiority.
As for people living in urban areas, they have always despised people here. If they are passing by, they will basically take a detour. They feel that this place is full of filth and will lower their status.
There are a lot of people at the station, especially at the exit, where everyone is coming in and out.
Xilin hugged Chang Xiaoqi and squeezed out of the parking lot. There were no taxis in the station, and there were very few taxis around here. He avoided them as if there was a plague. However, as long as you go out a little bit and turn around the corner, you will see more and more taxis.
There are more taxis.
These people are not against money, they are just doing this because of face issues, for fear that others will say that they are related to the people here. Before coming here, Xilin had inquired about things here, and in the civilian area, the identity card
It was not difficult to do. Xilin spent some money to get a fake temporary identity certificate. Anyway, when he was in the city, people without identity certificates were basically treated the same as people in civilian areas. They would not check carefully.
A person with civilian status.
After verifying his identity, Xilin walked out of the station with Chang Xiaoqi in his arms, followed the route he had found out, and walked a little further. When he turned a corner, he saw a taxi parked there.
After hiring a taxi, Xilin reported a place.
"Three hundred," the driver said without looking back.
Three hundred... No wonder people in the urban areas did not dare to run into the city in the past. The taxis here could not afford to take them.
After Xilin paid the money, the driver slowly started the car as if he was reluctant.
The current traffic control in the city is very strict, so it takes about an hour to get to the place Xilin mentioned. This hour is not long or short, maybe the driver is bored. I started a topic with him.
Although he started Xilin Chat, his tone was not good, and he always had a sense of superiority.
"Are you here to try your luck too?" the driver asked, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
"That's not true. I'm going to buy some parts. The store is in urgent need of parts." Xilin seemed to have not heard the driver's tone and said with a smile.
The driver was familiar with it, and he said "Oh" when he heard Xilin's words: "Even if you are self-aware and didn't get involved in this matter, how could a noble choose someone from a common area? It's really ridiculous!
"
Xilin didn't say anything, and the driver talked earnestly about some wishful thinking incidents of civilians outside the city after they entered the city. Xilin just smiled and listened, and responded from time to time, without expressing his own opinions. The driver probably didn't want to hear it either.
Xilin's opinions are his own.
The speed car finally arrived at the place Xilin mentioned. This is a parts market. For the high-end residents of the city, this is a busy place and it is not long. If their speed car breaks down, they will send it directly to the repair shop for parts and so on.
They didn't even bother to take care of it.
As for people whose living standards are not high, they will often buy the important parts they need in person because they are cheaper after all. As for those who have no money, sometimes they will secretly go to civilian areas for repairs.
Replacing and repairing the same parts in the city is more than three times more expensive than repairs in civilian areas. Perhaps the quality of repairs in the city is indeed guaranteed, but many people with low incomes prefer cheap repair costs.
When we came to the parts market, it was much busier than the parts street in the civilian area. Just by glancing at it from outside, Xilin could see a lot of high-end parts. The stores were much more luxurious. As for the prices, they were absolutely high.
Xilin mainly looks at second-hand parts. In Chang Laohan's shop, customers may not be willing to use first-hand parts.
As Xilin walked towards the second-hand parts store, some people around him looked at him with disdain.
"At first glance, he looks like a kid from a civilian area. How can he buy parts when he has no money?"
"He just has to buy second-hand parts."
"Hey, no matter what, let's talk about the last time we went to the casino..."
Those people's voices were not prominent in this noisy downtown, but Xilin still heard them clearly and ignored those people's words.
Walking into a second-hand parts store, this store is not conspicuous among many stores, but if there is anything special about it, Xilin just likes the order in which the owner of this store displays the parts. Many merchants selling parts do not
You may not be familiar with the specific usage of these parts. The parts displayed are all arranged according to personal preferences. How to arrange them as they look good.
However, the order of the parts displayed by the owner of this shop is different. At first glance, a layman may think that the shop owner has a poor aesthetic point of view and the order of the parts displayed is not good-looking. However, those who are familiar with maintenance will find that these parts are all in the same order.
They are arranged according to the order of assembly, which also shows that the shop owner is really good at repairs.
When Xilin walked in, the store owner was immersed in drawing something and didn't pay much attention to the customers who came. There were only two rough-looking service robots dealing with customers. The prices of the parts were all marked, and no negotiation was accepted.
There are not many customers in the store. Compared with other stores, this second-hand parts store is a little less popular, but the owner doesn't seem to care. He is leaning on the table and drawing. It is not an electronic board.
Instead, they used paper, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling. Several customers were originally planning to chat with the shop owner, but when they saw the shop owner like this, they gave up the idea and left directly.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man, somewhat wealthy, and doesn't seem to care at all about the customer leaving. He just does his own thing.
Before, Xilin only took a look at the arrangement of parts outside, but now when he walked in, he saw that some micro-parts were in a specific order, which showed that the shop owner was a little paranoid about the placement of parts.
Xilin put Chang Xiaowu down and looked at the prices of several parts he needed. They were not bad, at least not as expensive as the previous ones. Although the previous ones were slightly more expensive, they were negotiable. And here is
It's just a final price, and the prices of several models are similar to the initial prices of others. No wonder this place is not popular.
While Xilin was checking the parts display, several more people left the store. Finally, only Xilin was left as a customer. The store was deserted again. Even a service robot came to serve, but they did not provide service to Xilin.
Introduce the function of each part.
After looking around, Xilin said to the service robot: "I want the No. 3 blade of the inner box rotator, the JVII model primary exciter, and the PV5 metal contact wire..."
Xilin talked about the parts he needed, and one of the robots started to take the parts.
But just when Xilin said the parts he needed, the shop owner, who had his head buried in his own business, suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, he laughed, put down his pen, and said: "You are an expert!
"
The fat shopkeeper turned to the robot that was picking up the goods and said, "Twenty percent off."
Xilin looked at the fat shopkeeper in surprise, he was an interesting person.
The fat shop owner came over and looked at Xilin and Chang Xiaoqi, who was standing nearby and looking curiously at the two service robots. He took out a bag of unopened candy from his pocket and handed it to Chang Xiaoqi, but Chang Xiaoqi swallowed it.
He swallowed his saliva and did not answer it, but looked at Xilin.
"Then, this is a kindness from the shop owner." Xilin said.
Chang Xiaoqi then caught the bag of candy and said politely: "Thank you, uncle!"
"Hey, you're welcome," the fat shop owner said, rubbing his fat belly. "I just have a habit. I like to eat sweets when I'm thinking about things. This gives my brain more energy to think about.
problem, so every time I draw a picture, I put a bag of candy in my pocket, hehe, that’s how it grows by holding my belly.”
Even though the fat shop owner seemed indifferent to others before, once you look at him, you can see that he is actually a lively person.
Looking at the outer packaging of the bag of candies, Xilin didn't think it was a bargain. Perhaps the price of this bag of candies could be worth a good second-hand part. It's hard to tell that the shop owner still has some worth.
The fat shopkeeper chatted with Xilin about these parts. The fat shopkeeper had a good attitude towards people who knew the business. He said frankly that Xilin was from a civilian area outside the city and did not show any disdain, but there were many differences.
"I know that there are indeed some talented people in the maintenance street outside the city. I have a saying: Geniuses are buried among the people."
Xilin smiled and said nothing.
The fat shop owner chatted with Xilin about some flying car repairs, but in a blink of an eye he said sadly: "Some of the models that I finally made a few days ago were smashed. Otherwise, I can show it to you. Maybe you can give it to me."
I have a glimmer of inspiration. Sometimes inspiration is just a matter of temper, and it won’t come out at the critical moment!”
Listening to the fat shop owner's complaints, Xilin felt that this fat shop owner was quite special. He loved flying cars, or in other words, he loved designing flying cars. However, his family looked down on his hobby. Should he send someone over to cause trouble and try to cure him?
The easily made model was destroyed, and the store was only able to survive when the fat shop owner threatened his life.
After the robot sorted out the parts, they handed them to Xilin, and Xilin said goodbye and left. He had other things to do. The fat shop owner asked Xilin to come and have a look next time he went to the city. Next time, he might be able to see his newly made flying car model.
After Xilin left, he went to a large hospital in the center of the remote city to learn about the situation.
In another building not far from the big hospital stood two people, the same two people who were treated respectfully by the heads of the planetary government before.
"Is that the boy?"
"Yes, now our prince, our prince, is experiencing life at his home."
"Well, it seems that His Highness the Prince is going to experience a life of poverty this time. It is rare for the Fire Eagle royal family to have such a freak who can afford both the best and the worst."
"A poor life? That's not necessarily the case. As far as I know, our arrival this time caused a commotion in the civilian area, and the repair shop is doing a booming business. I guess the poor people will not be able to feel it.
.”
"When will the manpower your Highness the Prince mentioned be transferred?"
"Just these few days." (To be continued...)
