Why do many migrant workers chew bread and eat instant noodles instead of the box lunch on the train when they go home at the peak in Spring Festival travel rush?

The preferred mode of travel is train. Because the price of flying is too expensive, and the price of cars will increase during the Chinese New Year. Although it is difficult to buy train tickets, the price is reasonable and will not increase during the Chinese New Year. However, compared with cars, trains are much more crowded. During my stay in Spring Festival travel rush, there were many people, many stations and a long time on the train. Some people have to sit for dozens of hours to get home and have to eat something in the car. For the convenience of passengers, there are not only people pushing carts to sell some food back and forth, but also restaurants specially for passengers. However, few migrant workers would rather eat bread and instant noodles than buy a box lunch on the train. Why? Is it because the box lunch is too expensive to eat?

Farmers study in the northeast, and it takes nearly 30 hours from their hometown to school. I bought a box lunch on the train before, and I know its price better. Because every winter vacation, it is almost always the peak of Spring Festival travel rush. Many migrant workers' brotherhood returned home early. Most of them are young people or families with children. Parents will buy it because children are curious. At that time, the price of box lunch was not expensive, generally around 25 yuan. When the last part can't be sold, there will be a discount, which is basically 15 yuan per box. It can be seen that the price of box lunch on the train is not too expensive, but even so, few migrant workers buy it. Why is this? The reasons given by migrant workers' brothers are sad.

In fact, most people don't want to buy a box lunch on the train, mainly because they are used to thrift. Although they usually spend more than ten yuan to eat a fast food, the box lunch on the train is not expensive. But they just don't want to buy it, mainly for the following reasons:

First of all, I think money is not worth spending. Brother migrant workers usually eat lunch boxes at the construction site, but these lunch boxes are full and rich in food. However, there are few boxes of lunch and few dishes on the train. Some people bought it, but they were not full. In addition, you can buy a lot of things by eating a box lunch on the train. For example, a few dollars a barrel of instant noodles, two or three barrels per person, and a few eggs and sausages can last a day, which is much more cost-effective than buying a box lunch on the train.

Secondly, there is not always a box lunch on the train. Although there is a dining car on the train, there are many people in the Spring Festival, so it is very troublesome to go to the dining car through the crowded crowd. Moreover, the staff come to sell lunch boxes and have time arrangements. Sometimes when you are hungry, you don't come. When you come, you are too hungry and the food is cold. However, if you bring instant noodles and bread, it is very convenient to eat when you are hungry. Especially eating instant noodles on the train has become a habit. It seems that the Spring Festival travel rush craze with instant noodles is over.

Finally, there is not enough box lunch on the train, and it is not delicious. Farmers have also eaten box lunch on the train, which is really not much. Some dishes are really ordinary. Many migrant workers are hardworking and eat a lot. Instead of buying a box lunch to eat half full, it is better to eat what you have brought and buy some gifts for your parents, wife and children with the money saved. Many friends who have eaten said that the box lunch on the train is really not delicious, not enough to eat, expensive and unpalatable, and it feels very uneconomical. It is better to buy some bread, instant noodles and other foods in advance to deal with the past, and wait until you get home. After eating a good meal.
