Yesterday, the lathes finally waited until the day when they returned to work, and they were not happy.
Since the epidemic has not yet completely ended, car workers need to wear masks when they leave the car, and the entire vehicle needs to be disinfected after every passenger arrives at the station.

According to the regulations, tourists should wear masks when riding tricycles, and the masks of car workers should be replaced every 4 hours.

Some tricycles first replaced the brakes to reduce noise
In addition to safely carrying tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery, there are some minor changes in the Shichahai Hutong tour tricycle.
"Look at my car. This brake was newly changed before the operation resumed this time. It is the same as the motorcycle brake. It is called a disc brake. The brake is squeezed by hand. The deceleration effect is good, and there is no sound." Xie Lianguo pointed out. Told reporters about a brand new brake device on the tricycle.
In the past, the brakes of rickshaws were stepped on by the rider's feet, and it was inevitable to make a harsher sound over time.
In order not to disturb the surrounding residents and to better serve tourists, the brakes of some tricycles were replaced this time.
After a period of trial operation, if the braking effect of the vehicle is good, all hutong tour tricycles will be replaced with disc brakes.
Shichahai Manpower Passenger Tricycle Hutong Tour implements franchise operation, and currently there are 5 companies participating in the operation.
Yesterday morning in Qianhai West Street, thirty or forty hutong tricycles with red roofs and bronze bodies were neatly parked on both sides of the road. Turners were waiting for passengers in uniform.
According to regulations, every turner corresponds to a tricycle, so turners treat their tricycle with particular care.
Before resuming operations, Xie Lianguo wiped the tricycle inside and out, front and back, and lubricated the chain. In order to make the tourists sit comfortably, he carefully spread a small blanket on the seat. In this way, even in winter, visitors will not feel cold when sitting in a chair.
■ Dialogue
"Training allows us to better tell history"
Xie Lianguo is a resident of Shichahai, where he has been riding a tricycle for more than 10 years, welcoming and sending countless tourists.
Yesterday, he put on neat work clothes and stood in front of his tricycle in full vigor, waiting for visitors to come.
Beijing News: How do you feel when you work again?
Xie Lianguo: Happy!
After resting at home for so long, I can't stand it anymore, and I want to start working quickly.
Beijing News: Have you ever wanted to retire after riding a tricycle for so many years?
Xie Lianguo: I am going to work for a few more years, and now I am in good health.
I actually don’t live here anymore and I moved to Fangshan, but I still cannot do without Shichahai emotionally. My wife also works here in Houhai, so I want to ride a tricycle for a few more years. I won’t do it when I retired at the age of 60.
Beijing News: Was the exam difficult before taking the job?
Xie Lianguo: As long as you review well, I think you can pass the exam.
The photos in my mobile phone are all PPTs from the teacher during the training, and they have to be memorized.
I learned it for about a week, and I passed the exam.
In addition to the regulations on the franchise manpower tricycle Hutong tour, the content of the exam questions also has some historical knowledge, such as Soong Ching Ling’s former residence, Yandai Xiejie, etc. The purpose of examining these I think is to let the lathe workers study history seriously, and can’t go against the history, talk nonsense. .
Beijing News: How was the business on the first day of resuming operations?
Xie Lianguo: At the beginning of the resumption of operations, there may not be too many people who know, so the passenger flow is average.
However, I believe that passenger traffic will increase and our work will gradually get on track.
