Magus Tech Chapter 1402: Welcome, junior
Closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Ma Qiu suddenly felt the speed of the rickshaw slow down, and his heart suddenly became vigilant.
This big rickshaw driver is not the most cunning kind of person, he will deliberately extend the time, and then earn more fares... But he is not a rookie, he has seen a lot, don't try to get more from him Earn a copper coin, after all, it's the cost of inviting a beautiful lady to dinner... Machu opened his eyes, and he was about to urge the rickshaw driver to hurry up.
But the moment he opened his eyes, he couldn't help being taken aback.
I saw that the rickshaw driver did not slow down on purpose, but the wide street suddenly became crowded. Hundreds of people, who were attracted by something, stood in front of them and became obstacles one by one. The rickshaw driver had to slow down to avoid it.
When the rickshaw driver pulled the cart and walked forward for another hundred meters, accompanied by the faint sound of vendors shouting, Ma Qiu suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but slapped himself on the forehead.
"Today is... the day when the material exchange conference in Atlanta..." Machu couldn't help but said.
Yes, today is the day when the Material Exchange Conference starts.
Machu knows about the material exchange meeting.
Because the city of Atlanta has been developing commercial trade and producing all kinds of novel goods, similar conferences will be held every once in a while, attracting businessmen and speculators from all over the mainland.
The material exchange conference held in June was the first one last year and the second one this year. Machu knew about this, but because he had been staying in school recently, he didn't pay attention, which led to the current bad situation.
"This material exchange conference, it's really the right time..." Machu exhaled.
"Actually, it started yesterday." The tall rickshaw puller corrected a sentence without looking back, and complained, "Originally, I think you seem to be in a hurry and want to pull You go from Seventh Avenue, although there is a section of road construction there, but the delay will not be long.
Or, take a short detour and take the Ninth Avenue, but you refuse to go, you have to take the Eighth Avenue, and you have to use the hourglass to collect the fare. Then I have no choice but to drag you over. "
Ma Qiu: "..." After hearing what the rickshaw driver said, he already wanted to slap himself in the heart.
But that was too embarrassing after all, so he put on a face, did nothing, and acted indifferently, as if he didn't care much about the material exchange conference.
"Material exchange conference, it's nothing... But, aren't material exchange conferences held at designated venues? Why are people flocking to Eighth Avenue?"
"What else could be the reason? It's because there are too many people. I heard from a few guys pulling carts that the scale of this year's material exchange conference is much larger than last year, and the specified venue is not enough, and some booths are ranked first The Eighth Avenue is coming up, so it's best to avoid it when pulling a cart..." said the rickshaw driver.
Paused, the car stopped in front of a group of people, the rickshaw driver wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck, and said to Ma Qiu: "Look, guest, it will definitely become more and more difficult to go any further. , It should take a long time. If you feel that you can’t wait, we can turn around now, follow the alley near the bakery and turn to Seventh Avenue.”
If that's the case, then why don't you admit that he was wrong in the first place... Machu pursed his lips hard, waved his hands, and said to the rickshaw driver, "No need, just keep going. "
"The fare..."
"Same as I said before... according to the hourglass!"
"Okay, please sit down." The rickshaw driver threw down such a sentence, suddenly pulled up the car and rushed forward, struggling to make a way through the crowded crowd.
"Let me go, please let me go..."
…
It took almost half of the expected time, and Machu finally arrived at the Dongcheng carriage station.
Getting off the bus at the entrance of the Dongcheng carriage station, Ma Qiu saw the rickshaw driver with a dark face, and took off the hourglass from the hanging.
The finger slowly slides over the scale marked by the hourglass, and the rickshaw driver counts seriously: "One grid, two grids, three grids... eleven grids, twelve grids, twelve and a half grids."
After counting, the rickshaw driver lowered his head, looked down at Ma Qiu, and said with a bright smile: "Guest, look, there are twelve and a half blocks of sand in total. This is a big deal for you. Thank you for your care. I will remove half of the blocks for you." Then you just give twelve copper coins."
You're welcome, I can give you thirteen copper coins... Machu twisted his face, but he didn't say such a stylish word in the end, he just said dryly: "Got it."
After speaking, he took out his money bag, carefully counted twelve copper coins, and handed them to the rickshaw driver.
"Thank you, I will wait at the gate of Atlanta University if I have nothing to do, you can call me again next time you have a chance, I will give you half a grid time." The big rickshaw driver said, collected the money, Pull the empty car and leave quickly.
My money! I actually spent four extra copper coins... one in twenty-fifth chance to invite a beautiful lady to dinner... Machu couldn't help but lament in his heart~IndoMTL.com~ But he didn't feel sad for too long, remember what the business was .
A few seconds later, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and walked into the carriage.
Because he set off early to avoid being late unexpectedly, so after delaying the material exchange on the way, he is still in time.
After entering the carriage station, Macu walked towards the pergola standing by the wall very familiarly. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw a four-wheeled carriage driving in. The departure point and arrival point of the carriage were written on the carriage carriage. : Anka City→Atlantic City.
The two tall horses were pulling the carriage. Because of the hot weather, their fur was sweaty, and the bells hanging around their necks were ringing crisply.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding... ding!"
As the bell disappeared, the carriage stopped, a long bench was put away, and a dozen people stepped on the benches and filed out from the steamer-like carriage.
Machu watched carefully, and his eyes lit up when he saw the last person get off the car.
I saw that the person was a young girl with beautiful long golden hair and green eyes like gems. There was a little sweat on his face, and his bangs were wet, but he looked even more delicate. In addition, the other party was wearing a blue plaid jacket with an Atlanta University badge pinned to his chest.
After Machu saw it, he immediately knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
It looks more beautiful than in the profile photo... Machu couldn't help sighing, but he was very serious and didn't show any lust, and he was very clear about the boundaries between work and life and entertainment.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and walked to a place one meter away from the other party. Machu stopped, stretched out his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, junior, welcome to the city of Atlanta."
