The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 405 Buying Tickets
The concept of buying tickets at a train station is completely different from that at a bus station. When Baimeixi came from the county seat, he took a bus. The journey was not long, and he could still get a seat even if he bought a ticket on the same day.

But there are many people in demand for train tickets, and there are few trains and seats. As soon as Bai Meixi entered the ticket hall, she felt as crowded as the National Day Golden Week.

There were people everywhere in front of her, and she would step on someone's arm if she wasn't careful. The ticket window was closed at this time, and everyone was queuing for tickets for the next day. Some people had even queued for three days in a row. , still can’t even buy a standing ticket.

"Why did the queue take so long for three days? We still had to queue for standing tickets!"

Bai Meixi was shocked when she heard this statement. In modern society, buying a train ticket only takes a few minutes to browse the web page. Compared with the current situation, the ticket booking website that she often complains about is too slow is really too optimized. .

"Isn't this normal? Is this your first time taking a train?" A woman holding her child felt that she didn't understand anything after seeing the incredible look on Bai Meixi's face.

Train tickets are the most luxurious items in the world. If it is during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, let alone three days, the Spring Festival holiday may be over and the tickets have not been purchased yet.

She had slept here for two nights and saw at least five or six familiar people.

"It's indeed my first time here." Bai Meixi nodded. She was indeed a young woman with little knowledge when it came to buying train tickets.

"Then you have to hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to buy the tickets even for three days later, let alone tomorrow." The woman holding the child warned her repeatedly, and even let Bai Meixi sit next to her. When it's time to grab tickets at dawn, if two people grab them together, the probability of winning will be higher.

"My luggage is stored with my fellow villager. I have to go back and get it first." Bai Meixi can't be with people who are impressed by her. She will definitely not wait here all night. She will definitely find an opportunity to enter the space to rest. People around her The vaguer your impression of her, the better.

Bai Meixi walked around to the other side of the ticket hall. The same dense crowd made her feel a strong sense of crisis. According to the speed of manual ticket sales in this era, she would have to wait in line for at least two or three hours.

Bai Meixi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She came out on a mission this time, mainly to buy a few more sets of Wen 10 stamps. Now that she had bought all the stamps in Dasha City, she couldn't stay here for too long.

Most of the people in the ticket hall were curled up on the ground with their eyes closed and concentrating. She took advantage of everyone's sleepiness to hide in the space, took out a bag of luggage and placed it at the end of the queue.

The biggest advantage of this era is the simple folk customs. Even if you leave your luggage in the ticket office, you don’t have to worry about losing it.

After Bai Meixi took up her position, she went back to the space to sleep. Early the next morning, she heard a loud noise and hurriedly got out of the space.

Sure enough, the ticket hall started selling tickets.

The luggage that was originally neatly arranged was all in disarray. People from outside kept pouring in, and all kinds of shouting and crying could be heard endlessly.

Bai Meixi stretched out a hand from the space to barely protect her luggage. She took advantage of the chaos and squeezed into the crowd, successfully queuing behind a middle-aged uncle.

No one in the ticket hall paid attention to her actions. Everyone's attention was on the tickets. They tried their best to get the tickets a few minutes earlier. The entire ticket hall entered a battle for survival. A little later You have to stand all the way to your destination.

"Stop squeezing, you're stepping on my feet!"

"When did I step on your foot? You didn't occupy this place just now. Did you stop me?" Bai Meixi's ears were tortured by various sounds, and the mixed smell in the air was even more choking, but she didn't She dared to go back to the space to rest, for fear that someone would question her.

Her body was pushed forward by the crowd behind her, and her legs were almost suspended in the air, moving forward completely passively.

The big bags carried by passengers around her hit her in the face from time to time. The feeling of danger made Bai Meixi want to give up this visit to relatives.

After waiting for a full three hours, Bai Meixi's body was squeezed into the ticket window. At this time, her legs were already swollen, her face was gloomy, and she had forgotten where she was going.

"Where are you going? If you don't think about it, let the people behind you buy first." The conductor's operation was very procedural. When he saw Bai Meixi standing there, he immediately felt that she had delayed the progress of the entire queue.

"I want to go to Nansheng City." Bai Meixi's consciousness was called back by the conductor. She chose a city in the next province, which was only five or six hundred kilometers away from here.

She has made up her mind to only buy short-distance travel this time, not long-distance travel, and stay in a few more big cities. Firstly, she can buy more Wen 10 stamps to help herself continue to accumulate wealth. Secondly, she can prepare more for her mother-in-law. Medicinal materials kill two birds with one stone.

Anyway, if you have space, you can fit it no matter how much you buy.

"4.8 yuan." The conductor directly printed out a ticket. The fare was not cheap, but it was still a ticket.

Bai Meixi took the ticket and found that the arrival time on it was a bit wrong. After careful inquiry, she found that she had to transfer two trains from Dasha City to Nansheng City, which was very inconvenient.And the journey is very long, at least a whole day.

Bai Meixi couldn't laugh or cry looking at this ticket. This was her first time riding a train in this era. She completely ignored the speed of trains in this era. Five or six hundred kilometers would only take two or three hours in the era of EMUs. In this day and age, time is simply unimaginable.

"Sorry, is there a direct train to Nansheng City? I bought the wrong one."

Bai Meixi had no choice but to go to the ticket change window to exchange her ticket. When other people saw that the ticket in her hand was a seat ticket, they gathered around her and wanted to catch her when she refunded the ticket.

"This train is already the fastest, and inter-provincial trains must be transferred."

The conductor's attitude was quite good. She stopped Bai Meixi back with very concise words. At the same time, she did not stop her fingers, and there was no delay in issuing and exchanging tickets.

"That's right, you don't want us to take it. I've been queuing here for two days just to get a seated ticket."

The people next to her all cast resentful looks at her, feeling that Bai Meixi was so blessed that she didn't know how to be blessed. She was disgusted with such a good ticket. If they had kicked her in her arms, she would have snickered.

Bai Meixi had no choice but to wait in the waiting hall. The driving time for this ticket was 21:30 in the evening, and there were still seven or eight hours of waiting time. She sat on the bench in the waiting hall and felt drowsy. It has long since drifted into its own space.

The wooden chairs here hurt her back. She had to find a place and run into the space later.
