As soon as the things were finished, the phone informed me that I could go to dinner, and I saw that the time was less than six o'clock: the latitude in Germany is relatively high, and it gets dark early in the winter evening, which will be the most accustomed dinner time for Germans.

It's not much different from the dinner habits of the Chinese people, and it's not too late.

In contrast, Americans tend to eat a little later, but it's usually six or seven o'clock, and Mark, Paul, and others are almost hungry.

Thankfully, this is Germany, and if you go to Spain or southern Italy, dinner will probably not start until 9 or 10 p.m.

In Spain in particular, almost all countries have the habit of taking a lunch break, sleeping for a few hours, and many Spanish companies and government agencies set a lunch break between 2 and 4:30 p.m.

Presumably due to the long nap time, the Spanish habit is to eat late at dinner, and many restaurants only open after 8pm – a slight difference in tourist areas with foreign tourists.

During the meal, Zhang Nan brought Daniel here, because when he was in Germany a few times ago, he had heard that the eating habits in eastern Germany were quite different from those in Bavaria in the southwest, and there were too many sweets here, and he might not be used to it.

Sure enough, after arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Nan, Guan Xingquan, and Xiang Weirong had dinner with Daniel, and the other guys had local food cooked by the resort chef on the table.

The entire hotel was chartered, and the menu offered by the restaurant became simpler. Zhang Nan glanced at it and found that in addition to the German sausages and pig's trotters that have not changed for thousands of years, there are also sweet curd pancakes and Christmas cakes.

Luckily, there are also German-style schnitzel with chili sausages, stewed beef, sour white cabbage, potato gnocchi, lentil soup, onion and beef rolls, otherwise some guys may have to go to Daniel for help tomorrow.

The restaurant also offers a good white wine, and the fruit after the meal is a banana: tropical fruits are still a rarity here, as tropical imports were still a rarity in the former East German era.

There were not many surprises for dinner, and after the meal, I was going to go for a walk outside, and when I passed the hall, I saw a map of East Germany hanging on the wall, and it seemed that not all East Germans wanted a merger between the two Germanys, at least not the managers of this hotel.

Guan Boss stopped in front of the map and said, "It turns out that the city I passed by in front of me is called Karl Marx City. ”

The names of cities that Chinese people feel comfortable listening to are rare all over the world.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he saw the location of the city he pointed out, and then he reacted that it was Chemnitz.

Yes, the city of Chemnitz is still called Karl Marxstadt, but it will not be long before it will be renamed "Chemnitz" before the 50s, and in another 20 years, the people of that city will put the big sign "Karl Marxstadt" in a prominent position in the city.

In the turn of time, most East Germans wanted to go to the west, but now there is no joy in East Germany, and after 20 years, many East Germans will miss East Germany: after 2010, it is said that most former East Germans thought that life in East Germany was much better than life in front of them.

Twenty years later, the majority of the former East Germans considered it a privilege to be born in the former East Germany, not unemployed or despairing, but mostly those who had risen to the upper middle class after reunification.

At that time, a large-scale poll was conducted at the University of Berlin: 57 percent of the former East Germans thought that life in the past was much better than life after reunification, while 49 percent thought that life in the former East Germany had disadvantages but still had many advantages, and 8 percent thought that life in the former East Germany had no shortcomings and would rather go back to live like that.

At that time, many former East Germans would have missed the old East German frugal camping and friends gatherings, but unfortunately the solidarity and comradeship were gone, and even the money could not be bought.

I recalled a moment in front of the map, and without too much emotion, I went out to a nearby tavern. Drink some East German beer, listen to the accordion, and return to the hotel after 10 o'clock.

Not to mention that this is eastern Germany, even in the west, German pubs are not open until late these days, and all-nighters are still a thing of the future.

It was snowing heavily outside the car.

......

The next morning, standing on the small balcony, the snow was still falling. After breakfast, the snow stopped and the group walked to another small resort 200 metres away by the woods.

It was originally the property of the local government, and it was a three-story house, with five or six acres of woods behind it and a lawn in front of it.

It's also next to the border, but it didn't open this winter: just a month ago, Paul came forward to buy it for a price that's hard to refuse.

Buying a house, making an investment, living on your own vacation...

People don't care what you do.

In eastern Germany, where private ownership reform is soon to take place, corrupt officials all over the world, some German officials do not mind turning some inconspicuous state property into hard currency cash while still in power.

As for Zhang Nan, he didn't live there yesterday, because there were only two security guards from his own company who were looking after the house, and there were no waiters, so it was uncomfortable to live in.

As for the reason for buying a house, it is also very simple: the treasure that may exist this time is not in the cave, but in the house!

Adolf Eichmann's notebook points to Klingenthal and has relatively specific geographical coordinates of the location of the treasure. After Paul and the others arrived, they found that there were two resorts nearby, and there were no traces of mines and tunnels at all.

When chatting and chatting with the local residents, I didn't hear how many military buildings there were more than 40 years ago, but there were many German officers who came here for vacation.

The hotel where Zhang Nan stayed was completely open to the public during World War II, and the slightly more remote one, although more remote, has a good topography: it is located on the foothill side of more than 800 meters above sea level, overlooking the triangular river valley where Klingenthal is located.

And the Sudetenland scenery can be seen from the middle line of the foothills about 30 meters, so the house was used as a holiday residence for SS officers, and it was managed by the same institution as the hotel 200 meters away.

Paul searched the neighborhood and came to the conclusion that if the Nazis had hidden something here, it could only be in this resort on the edge of the forest.

I bought the resort by all means, and spent several nights searching the lawns and woods near the lodge with metal detectors, but found nothing - none of the hotels in the neighborhood were walled.

The problem can only be in the cottage house this!
