15th rise Christmas is not December 25 good, you know?
Jia Lei sat in the car and watched the scenery, followed by four large trucks pulling more than 10,000 packed white chickens towards the newly repaired pass, while his car was carrying 300 live chickens.
"Stop!" the border guards approached and stopped the truck.
"Please show the customs clearance procedures and quarantine certificate?" said the inspector at the gate, Su Renfeng hurriedly took out a stack of documents more than ten centimeters thick and handed them over.
"Our approval procedures were completed a month ago, and we still have quarantine certificates from the county and the border gates. Su Renfeng said.
"This batch of orders was placed by the Soviet trading company, and the import and export procedures of the Russian side are also here. Su Renfeng took out another Russian version of the document and handed it over, and the people at the port checkpoint carefully checked the goods and documents before opening the gate and letting them go.
"Whew! Jia Lei glanced back at the gate behind him and said that this was the first time he had gone through the formal foreign trade procedures.
"The domestic ports are very regular, as long as the formalities are complete, you can pass smoothly, and the troublesome ones are the Russian gates!" Su Renfeng said.
"Didn't we talk to the second regiment commander? Today, the entire border gate was filled with Captain Gail's people on duty, and Gail, the import quarantine and other inspector on the Russian side, said that he had already greeted him. Jia Lei said.
Recently, the situation in the Soviet Union has been too chaotic, and the depreciation of the ruble is full of people who are grabbing shopping materials. Su Renfeng said.
"But isn't tomorrow Christmas tomorrow? Even if something happens, I won't choose these two days!" Jia Lei said.
"Who told you that tomorrow is Christmas?" asked Su Renfeng.
"I remember wrongly, December 25th in country M is Christmas, and before that, foreigners in our Pearl City celebrate Christmas on this day, and there is a church that will also give out gifts. So I'm always mistaken!" Jia Lei said.
"It was Christmas in country M, and Russia believes in Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism, although Christmas in Russia is also to commemorate the birth of Jesus, but unlike Catholicism, Christmas is an extremely important holiday in the Orthodox Church, second only to Easter. Christmas is celebrated on December 25, so all Christians celebrate Christmas on this day, and for Orthodox Russia, January 7 in the Gregorian calendar is now December 25 in the Russian Julian calendar. Su Renfeng said that he had been standing at the border for seven years and knew more about the affairs of the Soviet Union than ordinary people.
"It's a pity that tomorrow is not Christmas, and the truckloads of turkeys I have prepared can only be used for New Year's dinner, so why didn't you tell me in advance? Jia Lei said.
Even if tomorrow is not Christmas, there will be no chicken leftovers, you must know that the Soviets are particularly short of meat, and each person has a quota of less than one pound of meat a month, and usually has a quota but cannot buy meat, just like in our country in the 70s. New Year's Day is coming up in Russia, and it's a day when everyone wants to have a good meal to celebrate the New Year. It's the New Year of people all over the world!" Su Renfeng said, and he didn't say it when Jia Lei proposed the Christmas turkey, just because it was just in time for New Year's Day.
"I thought that only our Huaxia country in the world had a lunar calendar, but I didn't expect that Russia, a Western country, also has a lunar calendar!" Jia Lei sighed and left his troubles behind, anyway, as long as his chicken can be sold.
"It's not the lunar calendar, it's the Russian calendar! Just like foreigners call our lunar calendar Huaxia. Su Renfeng said, Jia Lei sighed, in the previous life, most people in China knew the same as themselves, and Western countries used country M as the standard.
"Stop, check!" The convoy stopped at the Soviet checkpoint, Su Renfeng was not nervous at all this time, he only said a word of Russian to the people who came to check, and the people at the checkpoint immediately laughed.
Head Gale came out of the house at this time and waved like Su Renfeng, Jia Lei and Su Renfeng immediately jumped down to talk to him, after a month of high-intensity training, Jia Lei could finally roughly hear what others were saying.
"Su, I'm glad you came here on time today, you must know that there are already many people queuing up in front of your store to buy chicken, because there are too many people Natasha can only move the stall to the square today, and Kesbull has already taken his men to serve as guards. Gail said, and Su Renfeng nodded.
"We need to do a sanitary quarantine, please leave a sample!" said an aging inspector in a white lab coat.
"Old Chloe, I've already told your stationmaster that as long as this batch of goods is okay, you can go in. What do you want to do?" asked Gail, frowning.
"The stationmaster just promised to help you over, but we have the quarantine process and the records of the experiments, so how can we do the experiments without samples?" said old Chloe slowly, he retired this week, so he was not afraid of the stationmaster at all.
"Since he wants a sample, let him take it, what are you looking for me?" said Gale to his soldiers.
"They ask for a bit more samples. The subordinate said, and at this time, Wu Niu in another car also came over.
"When those coats were inspected, they didn't cut a small piece of meat as before, but took the whole chicken. Wu Niu said to Su Renfeng, and Jia Lei couldn't help frowning.
"We're going to have fifty chickens for a sample!" said Old Chloe.
"50 chickens, are you right? Gail said.
"Do you want to take these chickens back and eat them?" Jia Lei asked in English.
"Wasting food is damned, and the vessel used for the experiment is so small that you can only put a small piece of meat at a time! Old Chloe said with a clear conscience.
"This ......," Captain Gale hesitated.
"You know, I'm about to retire, I'm not afraid to offend anyone now! I'm the director here, and if I don't sign it, you won't be able to get a quarantine certificate. Old Chloe said.
"You're a threat! Threat!" said Head Gale angrily.
"No, it's not a threat! The real threat should be that my classmate is now working in the Ministry of Defense in Wisko, and my other classmate is the deputy director of the Army Headquarters Hospital!" Chloe Sr. said with a laugh.
"Give it to him, but it's only fifty chickens!" Su Renfeng thought for a moment and said.
"Okay!" Wu Niu nodded.
"Great!" a burst of happy laughter came from the distance, and several white coats ran out of the examination room to take the sample.
"This live chicken also needs to be checked!" said Old Chloe, pointing to Jia Lei's chicken king selected by the competition.
"One, only one, no more! And none of them have strips of red cloth tied around their legs. Jia Lei gestured as he spoke, this sentence was relatively simple, he said it in Russian.
"Okay! Anyway, these chickens all look very mentally healthy and healthy, and one should be enough. Old Chloe smiled and looked at his colleagues who were happily holding chicken.
"Don't blame me for being greedy, although the stationmaster gave us an order, but he put all the money you gave in his pocket, and I just want to improve the lives of my colleagues when the New Year comes. Old Chloe said.
"Since you have taken my benefits, then you should also give us some convenience, right?" Jia Lei asked.
"Okay, okay! I'll put your samples on the first check so you don't have to wait in line for too long. Old Chloe said that the level of wages in the Soviet Union is now very low, and the salary of experimenters like them is less than 200 rubles a month, and they can't afford to eat meat at all.

"There were exactly 3,000 chickens in the last car, and that's what we paid you. Su Renfeng pointed to the big truck and said.
"Very well, my Huaxia friend! It seems that our first cooperation was successfully completed!" said Head Gail.
"Yes, we think you're a great partner! Jia Lei said.
"I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!" Su Renfeng said as he instructed his people to get out of the car.
"Am I early?" asked Mr. Amy, who pulled out of a black car.
"No, just right!" said Head Gail.
"This is my goods, my dear Sue, there are probably more than 5,000 chickens here, right?" asked Mr. Amy.
"There are 10,000 chickens in total, and I want to sell the remaining 5,000 chickens in my own store. I can't give it to you!" Su Renfeng took the lead and said, he didn't agree with this Mr. Amy's plan.
"Oh, well, it looks like I won't get the rest of the goods, it's the money that was agreed in advance! Mr. Amy handed over a suitcase.
"60 rubles for a chicken, a total of 300,000 rubles!" said Mr. Amy, and Jia Lei immediately laughed when he heard it.
"Mr. Amy, you have made a lot of money, each of the chickens we buy is more than two kilograms, and one kilogram of chicken is less than 30 roubles, how cheap! The chicken on the black market is almost 40 roubles a pound. Jia Lei said to Mr. Amy, since he has given the other party benefits, he must let the other party know!
Do good deeds without leaving a name - that's a fool's job!
"Where can I take advantage, if it weren't for my help, would your store be able to get a food sales license? You must know that the Soviet Union is very strict in price control!" said Mr. Amy, who had not been able to offer a low price to the non-staple chicken, which was in short supply in the market.
The Soviet government's supply of beef was barely a bit of its own country's production, and most of the farms and farms raised laying hens. The import quota for chicken was not much, and it was impossible for every Soviet household to eat meat on a big day like the New Year.
Although the Soviets preferred fish and beef, it was good to have chicken without them!
Jia Lei watched Mr. Amy drive away with two large trucks, and he was very happy with the full cash box.
"You'd better keep your eyes open, right? You look more like a weasel stealing chickens, don't you really want to be a Wong Tai Sin?" asked Su Renfeng.
"You're a weasel, your whole family is a weasel!" Jia Lei said angrily.
"Yo, are you angry?" asked Su Renfeng, he was just joking.
"Why not, it's clear that the matter of collecting chickens from my fellow villagers was done by the two of us together! Only I became the reincarnation of Wong Tai Sin?" Jia Lei asked angrily.
"Didn't the rumors come from Mingzhu City? You can't blame me for this. Su Renfeng touched his nose and said.
"Why don't I blame you, Su Chao is your nephew, right? Li Chunhua is your nephew and daughter-in-law, right? These words came from your old Su family!" Jia Lei said angrily.
"Isn't it just two gossip, and it's not a big deal!" Su Renfeng said.
"Now it's not just a matter of gossip, you don't know that when I go around the village, the old man and the old lady will pull their grandson and let them avoid me! What's more, the chickens in the village now crow when they hear my footsteps!" Jia Lei said angrily, he didn't understand how the chicken's brain remembered himself.
Jia Lei forgot that he visited almost everyone's chicken coops, and caught the biggest and most powerful rooster in many chicken coops in front of all the chickens......
****
"Baby, you have to remember the smell of this man, this man is a great devil! as bad as a weasel who wants to steal chickens all the time, your father, your brother, your brother, your sister, your aunts and your aunts are all taken by him. An old hen is educating her newborn chicks.
"Chirp?" the chick tilted his head to look at Jia Lei's back and screamed.
