"Uncle Luo, how long will it take for our banking license to be issued?" asked Li Yadong.

"It has already entered the approval process, and according to the efficiency of the government, it will take about two months. ”

"Two months?" Li Yadong frowned instantly, waved his hand and said, "No, it's too long." ”

Since those who come to grab business, they need to hurry up, and the amount of funds in the society is basically fixed, so the benefits of starting first are obvious.

Not only that, Li Yadong thought about it, but he also had to think of some clever ways to make his bank stand out among the state-owned banks of the Soviet Union and this group of private banks.

Let the common people rush to come to him to save money, so that it is in his ultimate interests.

"That'...... I'm going to try to walk the way?" Uncle Luo said subconsciously.

"It's not a try, it's a way to go!" Li Yadong didn't want to leak too many heavenly opportunities, and said slightly: "Uncle Luo, including everyone here, the country of the Soviet Union is different from other countries in the world, like a bulky and complex machine, the internal parts are rotten and aging, and they are running irregularly. To put it more bluntly, it is to dredge up relations and collude between government and business. ”

"No...... Will there be questions?" Uncle Luo asked.

"Is this a question you should consider?" Li Yadong said lightly.

"Oh, then I see. Uncle Luo's heart sank, and he said continuously.

"Give me a little time to get my banking license done. Also, when will the renovation work of the bank be completed?"

After thinking for a while, Uncle Luo said: "If the decoration work is overtime, it is expected to be completed in half a month." As for the bank license, I immediately went to dredge up the relationship and try to get the license before the bank was renovated. ”

"Good. Li Yadong nodded, and after his eyes swept over everyone present, he said calmly: "Don't blame me for putting pressure on you, there are some things that I can't tell you clearly now, because the stakes are huge, you just need to understand that in the muddy waters of the Soviet Union, there is a great opportunity hidden in a hundred years, if you can grasp it, the final benefits are unimaginable." And one thing I can promise you is that the company will not treat you badly if it makes money, and I will make sure that each of you returns with a full load after this trip to the Soviet Union. ”

As soon as these words came out, the original nervousness and uneasiness on everyone's faces were suddenly swept away, and they were all smiling.

Their boss was already very generous, and now he made a promise, which made everyone present look forward to the generous reward.

As the saying goes, "people die for money, birds die for food", since the money will not be less, then what else is there to say, pick up and rest and work hard!

The meeting lasted until 1 p.m., and the cafeteria had to postpone the start of the meal because of them.

The hungry people came to the cafeteria together, which made the Qi brothers and security team members who had been waiting for a while almost cry with joy.

People are iron and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry, especially these big guys, they are even more hungry, and starving for a meal is like killing them.

The cafeteria is a buffet format, and after the chefs have prepared the meal, they serve it on iron trays and place it on a row of long tables, with food plates and knives and forks next to them, and everyone can pick up their own food.

"Eh, Brother Li, aren't you hungry?" Qi Long was hungry and panicked, took the food plate and was about to go to the food, when he suddenly found that the eldest brother was holding a cigarette at the door of the cafeteria, and he didn't mean to come in, so he couldn't help but run over and ask.

"Oh, it's okay, you go eat first, I'll be later. Brother Shengli smiled, there are ghosts if you are not hungry, but ......

"Okay, I'll go first. ”

Besides, Li Yadong, the moment he walked into the door of the cafeteria, he suddenly remembered......

Damn, this is a Soviet canteen!

Chef Li, who has been engaged in the catering industry for more than 20 years, still has some research on the cuisines of various countries.

He happened to catch a glimpse of Brother Shengli and asked, "Is there a Chinese cook here?"

"Nope. ”

“……”

Day up dog.

That's ...... Just like in the morning, make a piece of bread, get a bottle of milk, and get a good job.

As for Soviet food, if you eat it, you will die!

Why?

Because according to Li Yadong's understanding, Russian food is all dark cuisine!

Let's start with what Russians eat.

Russian food is summarized by the five leaders - potatoes, milk, bread, cheese, and sausages, the four King Kongs - onions, carrots, cabbage, and red cabbage, and the three swordsmen - vodka, brown bread, and caviar.

These foods seem normal, right?

Then we have to talk about the cooking methods and tastes of the Russians.

The taste of Russians can be summed up in five words: sour, sweet, salty, oily, cold.

Russia is particularly sour, and of course, this has something to do with the geographical location, and everything that grows in this place is sour.

Russian apples, as you can get acquainted, are definitely the best raw material for making apple cider vinegar.

Another example is the must-have dish of Russian cuisine, pickled cucumber and the popular drink kvass, both of which are sour. Brown bread, one of the staple dishes, also has a sour taste, and even the soup has to be drizzled with sour cream before it can be eaten.

As for sweetness, let's just say one thing, Russians drink tea with sugar and honey.

If it is salty, dip the bread in salt, and the snacks used by Russians to drink vodka are bread salt. Moreover, bread dipped in salt is still a very high status food in Russia, which means nobility, and is often used to welcome guests.

As for oil and cold, let's just introduce a classic Russian dish - marinated pork, yes, this thing is not only eaten cold, but also raw.

Serve bread and sandwiches and nibble on.

Those who can gnaw down are heroes.

In cooking, Russian cuisine likes to mix and match, not spices. It's about mixing all kinds of things together and cooking them in one meal, regardless of the nature of the ingredients.

Even as a drink, it can also be used to cook across borders, such as the classic Russian drink kvass used as a soup cook, which is a very common cooking method.

In addition, yogurt can also be used as a soup to make cold mixed soup.

Beg to be spared......

And the above is still an ideal situation, all kinds of ingredients are available, and the reality is that in the Russian dimension, ordinary vegetables cannot be grown at all without artificial technology. This has also led to the fact that the Russians have very few vegetables in their food structure, with a large proportion of meat and milk.

So some people say metaphorically that if the Chinese marry a Russian wife, it is equivalent to marrying a white rabbit, super easy to feed, just throw a radish or cabbage at every meal, absolutely eat more happy.

Khrushchev once portrayed socialism as a goulash with potatoes, but the reality was that the Russians, who were short of food, did not have enough supplies.

In order to make the limited food eat longer, people usually pickle things, such as sausages, canned pickled tomatoes. Either you save it and eat it, and after a long time, the ingredients will inevitably not be fresh, so what should I do?

Find a way to cover it up.

In this era, there was a popular Russian stew called Okroshka (cut into small pieces), which was made of small sausages, cucumbers, and radish heads, and boiled in a soup mixed with kvass and sour cream. These things are boiled together, and with the sour soup, you can't taste what the original taste is.

So the poor Russian people never pay attention to the matter of eating, as long as they don't starve to death.

It is worth mentioning that Russia is a people who are good at learning, they are open to foreign food cultures, and they are very innovative.

For example, dumplings. Russia also has it, but just taste one and you will understand what it means to be a fighting nation dumpling.

Pier is no different from what we eat, but the dumpling filling of the fighting nation is very strong, which can be cherry filling, apple filling, potato filling, and so on. It can also be a mixed meat filling or oil residue filling with various meats......

As for how to eat, sprinkle with chives and drizzle with cream......

There are also grilled dumpling skewers, find out.

Therefore, for Russian cuisine, or Soviet cuisine of this era, Li Yadong only has six words to say: in the bottom, willing to bow down.

When I walked to the dining table, MMP's, sure enough, on this snowy day, six of the eight dishes were cold, one of which was a plate of raw fat pork, with a protective aura, forced Li Yadong back two meters away.

"Phew, I'll ...... What is this?" there was a burst of swearing and laughter in the cafeteria.

Qi Hu, who was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, filled a bowl of soup cooked with sour cream and carrots and diced onions, and took a sip of it, and when he was finished, he found that he seemed to have drunk a soak of urine just now.

What puzzled Li Yadong was that a group of Hong Kong compatriots, slowly and leisurely, could actually eat.

Admire!

"Brother Dong, do you know this dish is very delicious?" Brother Shengli came up and asked with a smile.

"I have been to the USSR once before. Li Yadong nodded, and he could only say this, otherwise it would only explain why he knew something about the Soviet Union, after all, the dissemination of information in this era was really underdeveloped.

"No wonder. ”

Brother Shengli hasn't said a word yet: I originally wanted to see you deflated once, but I never thought that it was still no fun.

You're a ruthless man.

"We actually have some canned food left in the warehouse, canned meat, canned fish, and canned vegetables. Brother Shengli said.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and bring it!" Li Yadong's eyes widened.

"Oh. Brother Shengli was overjoyed, and ran out of the cafeteria.

Li Yadong sat at the dining table, nibbling on sour black bread, and felt that he couldn't live his life on the canned beef and canned white radish that Brother Shengli brought.

It's okay for this day, and you can last even a month, but you have to stay here for at least a whole year, and you can't eat canned food every day, right?

It's a big deal, and it needs to be fixed.

"Call back to the capital, ask Xiaofei to arrange for two cooks to come over, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money, you have to get it done. ”

"Okay!" Brother Shengli was overjoyed and responded.

Halfway through the meal, Li Yadong suddenly thought of something, Li Yadong looked at Qi Long and asked, "What about Victor?

"I should be back soon, saying that I would bring a hundred people and let us pick by ourselves. ”

Li Yadong nodded, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, he had to solve this problem.

Let these Russian bodyguards understand a truth: who are their food and clothing parents, and who should they obey. 8)
