A visit to the State Historical Museum in Moscow was just a small episode, and at most it was a little more insightful, because it would have been impossible for Zhang Nan to buy any relatively precious Russian artifacts in Moscow in 1987. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In just two hours, at half past four in the afternoon, the three of them left the museum, which would be early before the sun went down, and after taking a photo with the tall bronze statue of Zhukov, Zhang Nan and the three of them went straight to the side of the square, directly facing the Soviet State Department Store in the Kremlin.

It's time for the big buy!

Foreigners can use dollars there, there are specialized exchange rate accounting staff.

If you buy and sell, you don't kill, but this saying was a joke in the Soviet Union: because of the special climate, the Soviets consumed a lot of fur every year!

If you want to say which country people like fur the most, it is the Soviet Union!

The Soviet Union was a huge fur consumer market, and unlike other fur consumer markets around the world, the Soviets had a tradition of wearing fur in addition to well-known climatic factors.

Especially in the eyes of ethnic Russians, Russians have a long tradition of wearing fur, which continues to this day: fur clothing is not only a sign of taste, but also a necessity of life!

In late autumn, fur is everywhere on Soviet buses, subways, theaters, and social occasions.

This would be the case in Moscow, where the hostess of a generally well-behaved family would have an average of 7-8 fur coats, and even a family with a modest income would save money on two or three fur garments, which was determined by their national character.

If Zhang Nan and the others come to Moscow in another month, they will be able to see some anxious Soviet women going out in fur on cold weather.

There are five or six months of snow in Moscow every year, not to mention near the Arctic Circle! This unique climatic condition made the Soviets one of the best in the world in terms of their love for fur!

There are many types of fur in the Soviet Union, and the main sources of fur include mink, Karakul sheep, arctic foxes, silver foxes, beaver rats, sables....

The most famous of these is sable fur from the Soviet Union!

In terms of quality, appearance and rarity, sable is superior to all other furs, and its color is brown with silver accents, especially those covered with silver needle hairs.

These can be purchased on the first floor of the National Department Store, which was built in 1893.

At this time, Zhang Nan fell in love with a long coat of sable fur, with a price tag of 6,000 rubles!

This is not August 1997, when 1 dollar was exchanged for 5,801 rubles, nor in September 2010, when 1 dollar was exchanged for 30.72 rubles.

Now it is 1987, the most valuable time of the Soviet ruble, the apex of history!

One dollar can only be exchanged for 0.6 rubles, which means that to buy that long sable fur coat, Zhang Nan will spend a full ten thousand dollars, without counteroffer!

This is one of the top 10 department stores in the world, state-run, and the name of the store says it, so don't think about bargaining for a discount.

But even if it's expensive, it's cheaper than buying it in the U.S. Moreover, this is the number one shopping mall in the whole Union, and the price of such high-end goods is more expensive than in other markets, but the absolute quality is guaranteed, otherwise it would not be able to get on the counter here.

As for China, Zhang Nan doesn't know if there are sable fur coats sold in the Northeast today, but even if there are, the quality is generally not comparable to that of the Soviet Union.

No way, it's cold here! The quality of this mink is also the best in the world!

6,000 rubles is the most expensive piece in this fur shop, and it is definitely sky-high!

The basic salary of a KGB lieutenant colonel is only 250 rubles a month, which is the same as the salary of an engineer with a ten-year qualification - this already good salary alone will take two years without eating or drinking to buy this coat!

The KGB paid more than the average officer, and Soviet engineers were also uncompromisingly high-earners.

The salesperson told Zhang Nan that this lady's long coat needs to have a model-like figure to be able to bear it, and the net height of the person wearing it needs to be at least 1.75 meters or more!

Xiang Weirong gestured there, "Don't think about your sister, I think you may wear it." ”

Zhang Hui is more than one meter six points tall, and she is definitely not short among Chinese women, which will already be considered relatively outstanding in the south, but if you put on this coat... Hehe, absolutely inappropriate.

Xiang Weirong is barefoot and 1.75 meters tall, Nicole is taller than him, and this coat is just right.

Bought!

But don't forget the old lady.

Although Yan County is in the Jiangnan region, it is common to have minus six or seven degrees in winter, and it is bone-penetrating damp and cold, which is more uncomfortable than the dry and cold of mink 20 degrees in the north, and this mink coat will not be a useless decoration to buy back.

However, Zhang Nan didn't have to worry about Zhang Hui's clothes, Xiang Weirong chose there, and finally picked a long coat of sable fur and a short coat of silver fox fur.

Guan Xingquan also chose a sable fur short coat for his mother: Aunt Liu is almost sixty years old, and having such a fur is good for keeping warm and good for the body.

As for Zhang Nan's side, he has to choose three other sable coats, there are many women! But it's quite simple: I remember that the height of the three women is less than 1.6 meters, almost, just three pieces of one style.

I chose a few more arctic fox scarves, and that's all it takes.

I really bought it, and the three big men bought a lot of furs for women to wear, and then of course, they couldn't treat themselves badly!

Forget about mink, but there are things for male compatriots in the exhibition hall next door.

Buckskin jackets, buckskin coats, buckskin boots, and buckskin gloves... Anyway, all the deerskin products that can be put on people are the same!

Even the buckskin pants were made separately!

The reason is simple: among the flight jackets of the Chinese Air Force pilots, the top is made of deerskin!

Deerskin flight jackets are only allowed to be worn during flight missions, and are usually worn by pilots in winter in sheepskin or pigskin.

Xiang Weirong and the two of them couldn't mix an authentic deerskin jacket when they were in the army, so of course they couldn't let it go!

Deerskin products, which will not be available to Chinese folks at all.

Of course, we can't forget Xiao Jianan, there are also leather jackets worn by children, Xiang Weirong knew how big the clothes his son was, so he deliberately picked a slightly larger one, saying that it could be worn for two years.

also picked out two leather jackets worn by adults according to his memory, which Xiang Weirong wanted to take back to give to his two brothers-in-law, and it was indispensable to pick two for his parents.

After all the clothes were purchased, the three big men were a little dumbfounded in the face of a large number of packed high-end clothes!

There are a bunch of bosses, and they look exaggerated!

As soon as Kwan Xingquan negotiated with the person in charge of the area, the customer met the customer's request: using a van slightly larger than the Dafa car, he brought the clothes in an oversized bag and three customers back to the Moscow hotel.

The small packaging inside is quite exquisite, high-end clothing! But the more Zhang Nan looks at the big packaging bag that Guan Xingquan is coming, the more it looks like a woven bag!

When the time comes to get on the plane, not only is the luggage fee not cheap, but it is estimated that there is a bit of the taste of migrant workers catching the train in the 90s. (To be continued.) )
