Chapter 3 Hongfu Hotel

Russia is the world's most vast region, the largest area, vast land, rich resources, Russians are enthusiastic and bold, the long winter makes Russians full of love for nature, creating a splendid Russian civilization.

The members of the delegation raised their heads and looked around curiously, in a foreign country, there was a sense of mystery and freshness, Qu Lihua followed everyone to stroll through the streets of Moscow, the whole city was romantic and solemn.

There are many attractions in Russia, St. Basil's Cathedral is located at the southern end of Red Square in the center of Moscow, the capital of Russia, next to the Kremlin, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Russia, St. Basil's Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox Church, showing the 16th century Russian folk architectural style.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Qu Lihua was very happy, she had seen St. Basil's Cathedral on the cover of Russian textbooks before, but now she is immersive, and her visual senses bring a strong sense of shock, and she can watch it up close, and the feeling is still different.

It is not the artifacts inside the building that attract visitors, but the unique architectural style of the church. Designed to resemble a roaring bonfire, the building is one of the most iconic buildings in Russia and is famous for its nine onion-headed church tops of various shapes and colors.

In the center of the church stands a central tower with a high vault, about 47 meters high, with a golden drum dome, prismatic columns carved deep niches on the upper floors, and a ring of tall oblong windows on the lower level.

The main entrance of the eight towers all faces the cloister in the central church, so that you can enter from any door to see the whole inside of the church, which is surrounded by corridors and stairs on all sides.

Qu Lihua raised her mobile phone to take a commemorative photo, she wanted to take it back to share with her colleagues and family, Xia Yuxiang smiled and asked her: "Xiaoqu, have you ever been to Russia before?"

Qu Lihua shook her head, "I often travel in China, rarely go abroad, I don't know much about Russia, this is the first time I come to Russia!"

Xia Yuxiang was also very emotional, "Three years ago, I came once, after three years in Russia, there are still a lot of changes, let's visit here today, there are still many attractions to see slowly, later I will ask Xiao Su to find a restaurant opened by Chinese, let's go and eat a little." ”

Su Xiaoyu walked over, Xia Yuxiang discussed with him, Su Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, and took everyone to a Chinese restaurant.

The vermilion pillars are antique, the red lanterns are hung at the door, the eye-catching store name "Hongfu Hotel" is written on the plaque, and a pair of stone lions stand at the door of the hotel, Su Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I know the hotel owner, they are a middle-aged Chinese couple, I often bring friends to their restaurant, their dishes are very distinctive, I take everyone in to taste."

Walking into the hotel, you can see hanging a striking plaque "how big the heart is, how big the stage is", immediately there is a momentum of a large pattern, Qu Lihua walked in, the hotel is clean and tidy, mahogany tables, mahogany chairs, antique, Chinese calligraphy and Chinese landscape paintings are hung on the walls, so that the wanderers in a foreign country have a sense of intimacy.

Su Xiaoyu greeted the hotel owner familiarly: "Lao Zhu, I brought Chinese friends to your couple's restaurant for dinner again!"

Zhu Fu and Chang Jia greeted them, "Welcome, all of you are guests, Ah Quan, serve some tea to everyone first!"

"Yes, boss!"

There was a young and strong young man, dressed in a white waiter uniform, who looked to be in his twenties, ran out with a teapot, smiled and invited the members of the delegation to the private room, and served tea to everyone.

"Everyone can be blessed, this is this year's new tea that I asked a friend to bring, West Lake Longjing, I was not willing to eat, I kept it when I met Chinese friends, and took it out to entertain everyone!"

"Xiao Su, but he is a frequent customer in our store, he often visits our restaurant, and I will also invite him to taste it!"

Su Xiaoyu introduced Boss Zhu to everyone, "This Boss Zhu, his name is Zhu Fu, he is from Inner Mongolia, 45 years old, a bold northerner, he has been in Russia for eight years, his restaurant has been open for five years, business is not bad, there are Russian customers to eat, and Chinese customers often visit." ”

Boss Zhu Fu smiled, "Yes, I have been in Russia for eight years, when I first came, I did a lot of work, I groped for three years, I opened this restaurant with my wife, there are many Chinese doing business in Russia, we are far from home, with dreams, with diligence and wisdom, working hard in a foreign country, seeing friends from China, I feel that I have met people from home, I feel very kind, I have known Xiao Su for five years, he takes good care of me, frequents my hotel, has become a good friend." ”

"Everyone is friends from China, you are welcome, you can order whatever you want, we have Chinese food here, you can take a look at the menu. ”

Boss Zhu handed over the menu, gave Xia Yuxiang a copy, gave Qu Lihua a copy, Qu Lihua looked down at the menu, the familiar Chinese dish names made her feel more cordial, Qu Lihua looked up and asked Boss Zhu: "Boss Zhu, tell us how you feel when you first came to Russia." ”

Boss Zhu smiled and nodded in agreement, "Chinese doing business abroad, it is not easy, we also came to Russia by chance, before I just wanted to try my luck, if I can break out, stay and do some business, if not, go back to my hometown, my parents are still living in Inner Mongolia, they are older, they still like to stay in their hometown to live, I came to Russia at the age of 37, before I worked in China, When I was doing business and working as a hotel lobby manager, I met a Russian couple who came to China from Russia for tourism, and later became good friends, they invited me to travel to Russia and were very friendly to me, and later I met some Chinese friends who were doing business, they first went to work in Russia, and they felt that Russia had a chance, so they told me and let me try it too. ”

"At that time, I felt that I was still young and could try more, and the Chinese dared to take risks and continue to explore abroad, so I came to Russia with the mood of trying it out." ”

"When we first came here, we didn't understand the language, my wife and I didn't speak Russian, we only spoke English, we thought that Russians could speak English, but after we came, we found out that many Russians couldn't speak English, so we could only learn Russian to communicate with the local Russians. ”

"Now not only are we both fluent in Russian and English, but even the waiters in our restaurant have learned Russian, English and Chinese, and when customers order, whether they speak Russian or English, the waiters can understand them." ”

"Ah Quan is my nephew, is the son of my second brother, 23 years old, he just graduated from university, my second brother sent him to me, let him follow me, come to Russia for development, let him increase his knowledge, he is young, smart, in just one year, he speaks Russian and English very well, he came to me as a waiter, there are Russian guests ordering, he can also understand Russian, can directly use Russian skillful conversation with guests. ”
