The transportation company does have a lot of business. In the afternoon, Gao Mingwan went out to drive a sports car with an old master again. They walked long distances. During the day, Gao Mingwan drove, and at night, it was the old master who drove. The two took turns driving. , able to complete the transportation work in the shortest time.
Gao Mingcheng also has a new transportation task. He needs to go to the provincial capital to transport a production line that has been eliminated by the provincial capital.
A pharmaceutical factory in the provincial capital imported a production line for amoxicillin capsules from abroad, so the old production line that was eliminated was sold to the county pharmaceutical factory at a low price.
Gao Guobing had a good relationship with the pharmaceutical factory in the county. The pharmaceutical factory needed transportation, so naturally he asked the transportation company to make a trip.
The pharmaceutical factory naturally has vehicles, but it does not have large trucks, so it cannot transport the production line itself.
"Mingcheng, do you know the route to the provincial capital?" Xiao Jinfeng asked.
Gao Mingcheng said: "I know! Don't worry, I'll do the work!"
In fact, Gao Mingcheng has never been to the provincial capital in this life, but he was very familiar with the provincial capital in his previous life!
Xiao Jinfeng was quite reassured about Gao Mingcheng's ability. Since Gao Mingcheng said he knew the route, Xiao Jinfeng was relieved.
He smiled and said: "It's only more than three hours' journey from here to the provincial capital. If you go early, you can still go shopping in the provincial capital. Didn't you say you are going to the provincial capital to buy decoration materials? You can go first Take a look and buy if you like it.”
Gao Mingcheng also had this intention. In addition to looking at decoration materials, he also had to find opportunities to sell Huang Dazhi's gold.
Huang Dazhi wanted to change his registered residence and buy a house, but he had no cash in hand.
But after the gold is sold, all this will not be a problem.
Gao Mingcheng waved goodbye to Xiao Jinfeng, then got in the car and drove towards the provincial capital.
Speaking of provincial capitals, the most famous one is Tengwang Pavilion, which is known as one of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan. In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng visited Tengwang Pavilion, but at that time, Tengwang Pavilion had been rebuilt. Although the entire building was antique, it still had a strong modern flavor.
The Tengwang Pavilion was destroyed in 1926, and it was not rebuilt until 1985. It is still under construction now, and it will have to wait until 1989 before it can regain its former appearance.
But speaking of it, Tengwang Pavilion is no longer original. It was built in the late Tang Dynasty, but it was built and destroyed 29 times in the past dynasties! It's just that every time it's rebuilt, it's still called this name.
This information flashed through Gao Mingcheng's mind, but he had no intention of going there to see it. The buildings under construction are nothing to look at. In addition, there is a drought in the area this year, and the water level of Poyang Lake has dropped. When you go up to the building to enjoy the scenery, you will lose the scene of "the sunset and the solitary swans flying together, the autumn water and the sky are one color". .
The drive went quite smoothly. It was broad daylight and on the way to the provincial capital, there were no car thieves or road bullies.
When we arrived at the provincial capital, the weather was fine.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the buildings on both sides of the road and sighed slightly in his heart.
Although it is a provincial capital, the construction and development of the provincial capital at this time is average. Most of them are old houses and there are only a few newly constructed high-rise buildings.
But in some places, you can see buildings under construction, which shows that it is still developing.
He drove to Bayi Square and planned to find a hotel nearby to stay tonight.
Bayi Square is the central square of the provincial capital. It is extremely lively. There is the August 1st Uprising Memorial Tower and the Bayi Jinshui River. You can enjoy the scenery and go shopping. He plans to familiarize himself with the decoration style of the shops in the provincial capital here.
Since it is the central square of the provincial capital, although there are many people here, the public security is generally good. When Gao Mingcheng settled here to rest, he no longer encountered scammers.
When it was time for dinner, he found a restaurant to eat, and then ordered a can of crock pot soup.
Earthen pot soup is considered a specialty food in the provincial capital. If you see a huge earthen pot in front of a store, then this store will definitely sell earthen pot soup.
It uses a special large earthenware jar, the bottom of which can burn fire. There is an iron frame built into the jar, and the small earthenware jars filled with soup are placed layer by layer on the iron frame, and then the fire is lit, using the power of the charcoal fire. Over high heat, bring the soup in the crock pot to a simmer.
You can stew many different soups in a large earthenware jar, but the most common one is meat cake soup. Later, there will be more types of earthenware soups, such as stewed pigeon with Codonopsis pilosula, stewed pig heart, pork ribs, tea tree mushroom, etc. Pork ribs, kelp, etc. are all available.
Gao Mingcheng ordered a can of meat pie soup. The waiter in the store immediately opened the lid of the earthenware jar and used special iron pliers to pick out a small earthenware jar from the iron shelf inside.
Everyone in the store is familiar with where each type of soup is placed, so after customers order, they can take out the soup smoothly.
The soup that has just been taken out of the earthen jar is hot, and the soup is also hot. It is difficult to eat it in a short time, but when you open the lid, you can smell a rich aroma.
Crock pot soup with mixed noodles, a simple meal.
After the meal, Gao Mingcheng planned to take a stroll around the Bayi Square. Although the Bayi Square at this time was the central square, it was still a little rundown and not as beautiful as later generations. The buildings were poor, but the natural scenery was good. , Gao Mingcheng walked along the Jinshui River, the evening wind blew on his body, making it slightly cold.
The water level of the Jinshui River is not bad because it has many tributary water networks. Unlike Gao Mingcheng's hometown, there is no river in the entire county. All large and small reservoirs supply the lives of the people in the county.
In this case, once the weather dries out and there is no external water supply, water shortage will become more serious.
While admiring the scenery, Gao Mingcheng admired the shops on the roadside, especially the clothing stores. He definitely wanted to take a second look.
While walking on the streets of the provincial capital, Gao Mingcheng suddenly thought that he should find an opportunity to bring Duo Mei here to experience the scenery of the big city in advance.
"Yeah! Arrange it!" Gao Mingcheng said silently in his heart.
After shopping for two hours, Gao Mingcheng returned to the hotel to sleep after the shops closed one after another.
He habitually got up early the next day. After breakfast, he did not go to the pharmaceutical factory first, but went to the building materials market to see what building materials were available at this time.
He didn't plan to buy building materials today, he just took a look first. After visiting the building materials market, he went to a few shops that bought and sold gold and asked about the selling price of gold.
Gold is a hard currency, but because people's living standards are not very high now, unlike in later generations, there are shops selling gold in the streets and alleys, and the decoration is not as fancy as in later generations.
I asked several stores in succession and the prices were all about the same.
Gao Mingcheng knew that there was no higher price, so every store sold some gold.
When he was in Yangcheng, he sold his gold in one lump sum, but in the provincial capital, he chose to sell it in batches, so that it would not easily arouse suspicion and covetousness from others.
Along the way, he observed the surroundings and did not realize that he was being followed. It was not until he sold all the gold in his hands that he drove the truck to the pharmaceutical factory.
When we arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, it was only after ten o'clock.
The reason why it's so late is because Xiao Jinfeng said that the pharmaceutical factory will start to dismantle the production line in the morning. After dismantling it, it will be packed directly into the packaging truck, and there will be an accompanying technician.
Gao Mingcheng needs to bring the production line and technical personnel back to the county pharmaceutical factory, but how the technical personnel return to the provincial capital afterwards is none of his business.
When he passed by, he asked someone and learned that everything had been dismantled and packed, and it was time to load it into the car, so he drove the car in reverse to make it easier for others to load it.
At 10:40 in the morning, the truck loaded with goods drove away from the pharmaceutical factory. In the passenger seat, sat a technician in his forties. He did not wear glasses, his facial features were slightly rough, and his fingers were even more wrinkled. Thick cocoon.
He is said to be a technician, but he is a fitter, not the kind of technician who produces drugs.
After Gao Mingcheng struck up a conversation with him, he realized that the world is really small. This man was actually Su Tong's uncle!
Su Tong is the private entrepreneur who opened his own factory but eventually went bankrupt. He said that his father was a level 5 fitter, but he didn't expect that his uncle was also a level 5 fitter and still worked in the provincial capital!
Ha, this family is actually full of technical talents!
