After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Yang Meng was also very helpless. Alexander was right: they were all fed.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of Tsarist Russians from the Far East returned to the western part of Tsarist Russia, and the economic development of the entire Far East region stagnated, and the quality of life of the common people was very low, and their income was pitiful.

Let's just say that compared to the Far East of Tsarist Russia and the western cities of Tsarist Russia, it is simply the difference between the two worlds. In order to stimulate the economy, the government near Lake Baikal has developed tourism as a way to increase revenue.

Because of the song "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", countless Han tourists poured into the Baikal region, bringing countless financial income to the local area, and in this way, the people here became rich.

It stands to reason that the God of Wealth should be offered here, right? But the common people of Tsarist Russia are notoriously awkward. Not only were people not grateful to the Han tourists, but they even began to boycott the Han God of Wealth and demanded that the number of Han tourists be limited.

The reason for all this turned out to be that housing prices around Lake Baikal have become high, and the local people cannot afford them. Han tourists will buy houses wherever they go, which is the pot of Han tourists.

Please, people with a little brain know that housing prices will definitely become higher in places where tourism is developed, tourism will drive economic development, more and more people come here to buy real estate, Baikal is home to the rich people of the Han country, but the main people who buy industries here are still local people in Tsarist Russia!

Who of the locals here doesn't own a house? You sell your house at a high price and then you think the price is too high? Isn't that?

But in any case, on this side of Baikal, as long as it is associated with the word "Han Kingdom", it is opposed to anything.

And the government here is also very nonsense, for example, a company in Tsarist Russia signed a contract with the local government to build a bottled water plant here, the local government was happy, and immediately signed a contract to start construction quickly, but three months after the start of construction, the local people found out that the company was invested by Han Chinese, and directly announced that the land lease contract was invalid, and the three-month investment of the people was directly lost.

In fact, on the side of Tsarist Russia, as long as it is related to the Han State, there will definitely be resistance, and the original signing of the construction of the Kazan-Moscow high-speed railway between the two sides has reached an impasse, and the negotiations on the western gas pipeline have been put aside indefinitely.

It's all stupid X who wants to get rich and waits for others to beg for themselves. There are really no Han travelers coming to Baikal, you stupid X drink the wind and go?

Of course, anger is anger, and food still has to be eaten.

After the meal came up, Yang Meng found that everyone at the table was looking at Yang Meng.

"What do you see me doing?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Alexander explained: "According to the custom here, the first course is to be served to the most distinguished guests. That is, this great Leba. ”

Yang Meng scratched his head: "Isn't this just toast? I often eat it in Ulaanbaatar!"

Alexander smiled: "Then you must have one less process to eat." ”

"What?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

As a result, Alexander took out a small saucer: "This is still missing!"

Yang Meng was stunned: "Salt?"

Alexander nodded solemnly and said, "Dipping salt in the Great Lieba is a courtesy to distinguished guests. ”

"Is this true?" Yang Meng looked at Susan and Hugh with a questioning expression.

Hugh said: "That's true. Susan and I both ate this when we came. ”

Since everyone is there

Having said that, Yang Meng could only pick up the big lieba and dip it in salt and eat it as good as he could, and this one bite went down。。。。。。

"Vake, what does this smell like! Kill me!" Yang Meng picked up the water glass next to him and poured it violently, but it turned out that it was vodka that went down this time.

"Hahahaha" everyone at the table laughed.

Yang Meng's face was black: "Are you playing tricks on me?"

Hugh hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "You are really wrong, I laugh because you have the same reaction as me! This is indeed the etiquette of welcoming distinguished guests on the Tsarist side of Russia, that is, the big leba is dipped in salt." You're so much better than me, I squirted it when I ate it. ”

"Me too!" Susan smiled bitterly: "I have been in Tsarist Russia for a month, and I have lost five pounds!

After hearing this, Yang Meng just wanted to nod in agreement with the two of them, but suddenly he froze in place: "Wait a minute! You are from a corrupt country, right? Scotland is also a corrupt country! You actually laugh at the food of other countries is unpalatable? Is this black humor?"

The kingdom of dark cuisine recognized by the whole world is a corrupt country, and that 'looking up at the starry sky' has blinded countless people's dog eyes. There are really too many jokes about the food of the rotten country, and in general, the food of the people of the rotten country is fish and chips, fish and chips, and fish and chips, but they actually dislike other people's food for being unpalatable?

Susan pointed to the plate in front of her and said, "Come, try the pickled cucumber here, believe me, you can eat it in any restaurant in Tsarist Russia, anyone's house." ”

Yang Meng picked up a small sour cucumber and threw it into his mouth, and his eyes narrowed directly into a slit: "Vake, this is too sour, right?"

Susan laughed, "Trust me, it's just an appetizer, and I summed up the meal here in five words: 'cold, salty, oily, sour, sweet'." Do you believe I can lose weight here?"

Yang Meng nodded: "I have experienced both sour and salty." ”

"Is that salty?" Alexander laughed, "Try this, smoked salted fish from Lake Belga." This is a famous food here. After he finished speaking, he directly picked up a piece with his hand: "In order to show that I am not playing tricks on you, I will eat a piece first." ”

The rest of the young men and women of Tsarist Russia on the table also smiled and picked up a piece and put it in their mouths, and the one they ate was called a fragrant one!

Yang Meng picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and the center of his eyebrows instantly twisted into a twist: ", is this thing eaten by people?

Hugh laughed, "You understand our feelings now, don't you? You taste the oil again!"

"Oily, what?"

Hugh pushed a plate in front of Yang Meng: "Taste the meat jelly here!"

Yang Meng grinned when he heard this: "I eat this thing cutely! We people in the north of the Han Kingdom like to make skin jelly and eat, such as pork skin jelly and the like, and it follows the same thing, I love to eat it too much!"

"Really?" Hugh frowned, "There is still such terrible food in your country?"

"What's so scary about this?" Yang Meng picked up the spoon and directly dug a mouthful of Tsarist meat jelly into his mouth, and then his expression instantly froze, ", what is this?"

Eat skin jelly in the Han country, sprinkle some and mix soy sauce, green onion and ginger and sesame oil rice vinegar, that is called a refreshing taste, sometimes don't put anything, the taste of the skin jelly itself is also delicious, and the skin jelly here is poured with mayonnaise sour

Eat it with cream and lemon juice, and that's it, the 'jelly' of Han meat jelly is soup, and what is the 'jelly' of meat jelly here? That is oil! What do you say about this taste? Sweet, sour, oil。。。。。。 The taste in my mouth cannot be described in words!

"And this number one dish in Tsarist Russia, 'Salou', you can try!" said Susan, pointing to another plate.

Yang Meng blinked, yes, you don't need to taste this dish, you can see what it is at a glance: this is directly refining a large piece of pig fat into fat, and then sprinkling salt, pepper and the like to marinate it and then freeze it into pieces and cut it into slices, which is a large piece of lard!

Alexander cut a slice from the butter back on one side with a dinner knife and smeared it on the meat jelly and tasted it: "Well, the taste here is still very good, by the way, the most famous thing here is raw fish jelly, the meat jellie made by sprinkling raw fish with salt and pouring grease, it will come up in a while, you must try it!"

Yang Meng's face is green, can you figure out what it tastes like without tasting this Nima?

Alexander pointed to a small plate in front of him and said: "This is the 'Olivier salad,' made with sweet mayonnaise, peas, and potatoes, you can try it! It's a pity that this is not Moscow, otherwise you should try the herring salad there." That's even better!"

Susan explains: "The Moscow herring salad is made by deep-frying the herring and then layering the vegetables on top of each other and squeezing a whole bottle of sweet mayonnaise, which is very popular here, and eats three kilograms of that stuff per person every year. You're starting to understand why I'm able to lose weight here, right?"

Yang Meng only nodded his head.

Alexander laughed: "Actually, we can't be blamed for this, we are also for physical needs." After all, it's too cold, we need to eat more greasy items to keep the calories, and we also need greasy foods to eat so many greasy things, so this extremely salty and sour food becomes necessary. ”

A girl next to her said, "Actually, there is another reason." ”

"Huh?" everyone looked at the girl, and the girl explained, "My father said that there was a time when we were very short of supplies here during the Soviet period. At that time, there were no fresh ingredients, so people came up with the idea of using such a strong way of pickling food to cover up the freshness of the food. ”

Alexander nodded after hearing this: "This is true, but anyway, there is vodka, and no matter how heavy the ingredients are, everyone can get to the stomach!"

Yang Meng covered her face.

"Yang, now understand why I just said I want to eat hot pot, right?" Susan said with a look of resentment: "I really succeeded in losing weight here." I can't eat the 'food' here!"

Yang Meng nodded and said: "I have a deep understanding, if I had known that it was such a 'delicacy', maybe I would have been eating hot pot in my room now." ”

As a result, Hugh said, "This is impossible, how can it be that what Susan and I have experienced has allowed you to escape?"

Yang Meng had a black line on his face----- this guy is not as kind as he imagined!"

Susan laughed: "Yang, don't feel wronged, when you get to a place, you have to feel the characteristics of a place, isn't it? How is the impression deepened? Only if you feel unbearable, you can prepare the best hot pot for us to eat, right?"

Yang Meng took a deep breath: "You guys won, but can we eat hot pot without this now?"
