February 6 is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and the folk proverb says that "the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughter chickens and catch the big set".
At half past four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Liu Ende, who lives in Xikumazi Village, Shicheng Town, Fengcheng City, Dandong, Liaoning Province, got up and grinded tofu, and his wife and grandson sorted and packed the eggs at home, the wild honey picked in the mountains, and the mushrooms dried at home. After a while, they will take the 4318th train, the last "train gathering" of the year.
Train 4318 7 is the "public welfare slow train" between Jilin Tonghua and Dandong, Liaoning Province operated by China Railway Shenyang Bureau Group Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as Shenyang Bureau Group Co., Ltd., and is the only passenger train between the two places. Many years ago, there was no rail connection between the two places, and it was always a problem for people in the mountainous areas to travel along the way. To this end, the Shenyang Bureau Group Company specially built a railway from Tonghua to Fengcheng Guanshui Town, and in 2013 opened 4318 7 passenger trains, setting up 11 passenger boarding and landing points along the way, so that people no longer have to go out over the mountains and mountains.
On the day of the opening of the train, everyone set off firecrackers and twisted Yangge, not to mention how lively it was. Recalling the scene at that time, 79-year-old Liu Ende remembers it vividly, and it was at that time that he came up with an idea: to take the train to a nearby market to sell mountain goods.
On train 4318, villagers show passengers their products for sale. At first, Liu Ende only brought some mountain mushrooms, but he didn't expect the passengers in the same train to see that the mountain goods he brought were of good quality and low, so they bought a lot on the spot. According to railway regulations, passengers are not allowed to sell goods on the train. The first time he sold mountain goods on the train, Liu Ende was "caught" by the train captain Li Wengang.
At the time, I was so frightened that I thought I would be fined. Liu Ende said, "I didn't expect the train conductor to be really considerate of us, and told me that the train was not allowed to sell goods, but he wrapped my mushrooms directly." Since then, he has often bought mushrooms from me, and he has also mobilized the conductor to buy them together. ”
After learning about the actual needs of the villagers along the way, the Shenyang Bureau Group Company not only let the villagers sell mountain goods on the car, but also built a sales platform for the villagers and opened a train set. More and more villagers, like Liu Ende, regularly come to the train to sell mountain goods, and the 4318 7th train has become a well-known brand, and many passengers also come to visit.
At 10:49, train 4318 arrived at Tongjia Station. The train conductor Li Wengang reminded the villagers to pay attention to safety, and at the same time greeted the villagers who were familiar with him and helped them carry the mountain goods onto the train.
The carriage is decorated with joy and full of New Year's flavor. The villagers skillfully put their mountain goods on the display shelves, and they were surrounded in front of the display shelves.
Mushrooms cost 30 yuan a bag, there are only these two bags left, you want to buy them all for 50 yuan" "This is a home-grown native egg, boiled and eaten old fragrant" "This is a mountain hazelnut kernel, the taste is different" ......
The two big roosters brought by Liu Ende were matched by the buyer as soon as they got in the car, and they were sold at 68 yuan each. "Usually, you can earn three or four hundred yuan by taking a 'train set', but if you buy more New Year's goods a year ago, it is not a problem to earn seven or eight hundred yuan a trip. Liu Ende said.
The mountain goods were sold out quickly, and many travelers did not buy them yet. Li Wengang pointed to the *** on the propaganda board to recommend to everyone: "If you want to buy mountain goods, you can sweep this *** into our group, you can leave a message in the group if you want to buy, and the villagers will contact you after seeing it." ”
In the past, we all brought what we sold, but later the railway set up a WeChat group, and passengers can make an appointment in the group for whatever they need to buy. In the past, I was worried that I would not be able to sell out the goods I brought, but now I am worried that the goods will not be available. Liu Ende said.
The wheels are rolling, and the whistle is sounding. For more than 10 years, the 4318 7th train has not only been a "convenient car" for people along the line, but also a "happy car" for them to get rich.
At 12:27, the train arrived at Phoenix Station. Liu Ende, who sold out of mountain goods, was in a good mood, and after saying goodbye to the train captain Li Wengang, he was going to go to the city to shop for some New Year's goods, and he sang while walking: A big road, through my ......(Reporter Ding Feibai).
