"Yes, Russia has always attached great importance to literature, there are a lot of famous writers. ”

"Boss, how do you sell cherries? How do you sell bananas?"

Su Xiaoyu helped translate in Russian.

"A kilogram of fine cherries is equivalent to less than 25 yuan, and a kilogram of bananas is only 10 yuan. ”

Yefim said: "These are the credit of the 'Belt and Road', China's fruits are of good quality, fresh, cheap, and variety, which is very popular, enriching the table of Russians, and most of the fruit stall operators are from Central Asia and other countries, with different accents, can speak simple Russian, mixed with some English, and the business is very good, so they are willing to come here to run fruit stalls." ”

"There are not only Chinese fruits, but also fruits from Central Asian countries, produced in countries along the route, Cambodian bananas, Chinese pears, garlic, Russian green onions and garlic are very expensive, Chinese garlic is much cheaper, so China's garlic and green onions are very popular here, these foreign fruits and vegetables fill the gap of melons and fruits in Russia this season, if there is no 'Belt and Road' countries these agricultural products complementary, the Russian people's dinner table will be very monotonous. ”

"Of course, mutual benefit is bilateral, Russia also exports agricultural products to China, such as corn, soybeans, in recent years Sino-Russian agricultural trade continues to maintain a rapid growth trend, for Russia, China is a big export market, as the world's largest importer of agricultural products China or become the main export destination of Russian agricultural products. ”
