Chapter 12 One Train with Three Heads! Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!(Send 700 words to make amends!)
"Are you also coming for dinner?" Xia Xiaomei greeted Jia Lei warmly.
"yes! It's so cold this day, I want to eat something hot. Jia Lei nodded and said.
"Then try the beef soup made by the chef here, it tastes good. Xia Fatzi pointed to the soup bowl in front of him and said.
"Okay! I'm going to order. Jia Lei said that at this time, the attendant of the dining car came over.
"I'm sorry! It's been a bad situation lately, we only have bread, eggs and ham here, and we can only serve a bowl of beef soup for the menu, is that okay?" said the Russian flight attendant apologetically.
"It's okay, we understand! Bring us two pounds of white bread, a ham omelette per person, and five bowls of beef broth. Jia Lei said.
"How many eggs do you want to fry each?"
"Their eggs are very expensive, 50 cents for one and a dollar for two. Xia Fatzi muttered.
"It's okay, the price is fair! It's at least half as cheap as in Moscow, and now you can buy an egg for a dollar in Moscow at most." I can't buy it with money!" Luo Nan said with emotion.
In the past few days, he has really seen it, what is priceless!
"How much do the other dishes cost?" Luo Nan asked in English.
"Bread costs $2 a pound, soup costs a dollar, and ham costs a dollar per serving. The flight attendant said.
"Then you can bring each of us two eggs and a ham, by the way, do you also have butter here?" Jia Lei asked again.
"I'm sorry, we really don't have this! Butter is hard to buy in Huaxia, we only have tomato sauce. The flight attendant said.
"Okay! Looks like that's all we can do, and we'll bother you. Jia Lei said helplessly.
"Good boy! It costs six dollars for a meal alone, and you have made a lot of money in Moscow this time, right?" asked the fat man enviously, his breakfast was only two slices of dry bread and a bowl of soup.
"I didn't make much, it's just ten!" Jia Lei lowered his head and said embarrassedly.
Jia Lei was afraid that others might not believe him if he told the truth, so he had to lie.
"My brother is too picky, the two of us are only willing to buy an egg, although he doesn't make as much money as you, but at least one-tenth of yours! He made 10,000 US dollars this time! He is even reluctant to buy an egg, is it possible for me to eat it here, is he watching over there? I am so full of anger, can I still eat it? I am so angry!" Xia Xiaomei said and slammed the boiled egg in her hand on the corner of the table hatefully.
Jia Lei felt that she couldn't wait to knock this egg on the head of the fat man Xia, after all, there was a big man by his side all the time, watching him eat eggs, and the taste was probably not too pleasant.
As for why Jia Lei said that?
This is all because Fat Xia has begun to swallow at the egg now, and his eyes are reluctant to move away. Eggs in Moscow are so expensive and difficult to buy, Jia Lei thinks that Xia Fatzi may not have eaten eggs for a month or two.
"Ahem! Xiang Xi, go back to our carriage and bring us some caviar, butter, and canned luncheon meat! Jia Lei hurriedly said.
Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to eat eggs under the hungry green eyes of the fat man......
"How embarrassing is that! How expensive are these things now? We can't take advantage of you. Xia Xiaomei hurriedly said.
"Sister, Jia Lei, this little brother is right, is it fate to meet! It's just a meal, how can there be anything to take advantage of. Xia Fatzi wiped the corners of his mouth and said.
He was so hungry that he didn't even want his face!
In order to save money, he only ate half full every day in Moscow, especially in the last half month, he has lost more than 30 pounds of hunger.
"You can eat with confidence! My boss has made a lot of money recently, and even if you eat more, it will be just a drop in the bucket for him! Mo Bei said with a smile.
Jia Lei's so-called ten numbers are actually billions of dollars!
Those VIP customers have invested money in Jia Lei's fund, otherwise Jia Lei would not have tried his best to send them abroad in the first place.
"Then can we also follow the big family?" asked Ma Li and Shen Ning as they followed behind Xiang Xi.
"Of course you can!Welcome!" Jia Lei hurriedly said.
"Wangwang!" Even Jia Lei and Xiaobai in his arms shouted along with the fun, and the corner of the dining car was immediately filled with laughter.
*****
The train runs on the endless Siberian plain, because it is so cold outside, that all the passengers have to hide in the carriage to pass the time.
The Xiaobai brought by Jia Lei is loved by almost all the female passengers in the car, and it can now run freely in the car, and it will be treated as VIPs wherever it goes.
"Xiaobai, look at your belly, you have been outside all day today, I don't know how many good things you have eaten?" Jia Lei said boredly poking Xiaobai's round belly with his finger.
"Wang!" Xiaobai unhappily gave Jia Lei a paw and slapped Jia Lei's hand off.
"Why do you owe so much to attract cats and dogs, what should you do if you get bitten by it? Let me see if your hand is broken!" Chen Dong immediately said anxiously.
"It's okay! There is not even a red mark, and Xiaobai's nails are not known to have been repaired by anyone. Jia Lei picked up Xiaobai and picked up one of its paws for everyone to see.
On the pink scratch pad, there was only a white nail mark, and it was very smooth and polished.
"Oh! really!" Mo Bei said after taking a closer look.
"It seems that more than just the paw cup has been repaired?" Xiaobai seems to have even washed the hair on his body?" Xiang Xi said after taking a closer look at the puppy in Jia Lei's hand.
"Hahahaha! A few of you big men just found out, how can it not be dirty when Xiao is running around in the car every day, and no one bathes it!" Ma Li said with a smile as she hugged Xia Xiaomei.
"Take a bath, where did you get to take a bath in this car, I'm afraid only the most advanced soft sleeper has hot water for a bath, right?" Jia Lei asked in surprise.
Yes! Ninety-five years ago, there was a high-class sleeper car on the old train, and the decoration inside did not belong to a five-star hotel, after all, in the sixties when the K3 train was opened, the popularity of airplanes was not as good as that of trains, and other cadres and wealthy people except for national leaders went out by train.
"Hehe! The high-end soft sleeper car can be entered by ordinary people, and it is Kekina, the train attendant of our carriage, who bathes Xiaobai. She took a large basin and took Xiaobai to the boiler room of the train to take a bath, where there was not only hot water, but also high temperature. Xiaobai won't catch a cold!" said Ma Li.
"Okay, Xiaobai, you even hooked up with the conductor so quickly, don't you walk sideways on the train this time?" Jia Lei picked up Xiaobai and shook it.
"Wangwang!" Xiao Bai angrily took his tail to slap Jia Lei's face.
****
Jia Lei's private room is because Xiaobai is there, and the female passengers in the car often run here, and even their male relatives and friends will occasionally follow them.
Jia Lei got to know almost all the Chinese people on the train, after all, excluding the dining car, luggage car and boiler car, there are only 10 passenger cars on the K3 train.
That night, Jia Lei saw the flight attendant Kokina that Ma Li said, and she came to Jia Lei on purpose.
"Our country and your country's customs are very strict with the quarantine of animals leaving the country, I don't know if you have brought Xiaobai's quarantine certificate?"
"What quarantine certificate? I don't have it! Xiaobai was sold to me by an old lady from country E when I was waiting for the train at the station. Jia Lei shook his head and said.
"That's too bad! Without a quarantine permit, Xiaobai will be confiscated by customs. Kokina said anxiously.
"Then what should I do? Why don't you hide Xiaobai in your flight attendant's lounge when it's time for inspection? Wait until you pass the customs and then let him come out, the customs shouldn't check your flight attendant's lounge, right?" Jia Lei hurriedly said.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it! The attendants on our bus can only work on the territory of their own country, and this bus will replace all the attendants on the bus when it passes through Mongolia, including the dining car and the front of the car! Our lounge will also be replaced together, and I won't be able to help much after Xiaobai leaves the territory of Russia. Kokina said regretfully.
"Wait a minute! What did you mean by changing the head of the train? Can the locomotive of the train still be changed?" Jia Lei asked in surprise with wide eyes.
This train takes 13 carriages in your territory in China, the carriage group is 7 hard sleepers, 3 high-grade soft sleepers and 1 luggage car, and 3 hard sleepers and 1 dining car are domestic rotary cars between Beijing and Erlian, and these three hard sleeper cars and dining cars will be left in the Huaxia border along with the locomotives of China.
The dining car of our international intermodal train and the hard sleeper car of each country are separately hung, and they are hung up when entering the border of a certain country and unloaded before leaving the country, and the crew members of each country are responsible for the section within their own country. We also operate according to this rule in country E and Mongolia!" Kokina explained to Jia Lei.
"Oh my God, isn't it too troublesome for you to exchange it like this?" asked Jia Lei.
"For the people above, the trouble of changing the locomotive is much less than the trouble of letting the locomotive of other countries enter the territory of their own country, at least in the two countries do not have to negotiate for this matter, and the various formalities to go through are much simpler. Kogina said helplessly.
"Then you are so exchanged, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take care of it when you hand it over?" Jia Lei asked.
"Of course, as far as I know, when I was in Outer Mongolia, there was a gap in the train, and there was no crew or guard from any country. Kokina said.
Jia Lei only now understood what was the reason for the big incident that happened later......
"Since you can't help me then, can you help me find a way now?"
"Well, I have acquaintances at many train stations. When I wait for the next station, I will call the animal quarantine station in the city in front of me to ask someone to help you go through the procedures, and you can take Xiaobai to apply for a quarantine certificate while you are parking. Kogina touched Xiaobai and said.
"You don't have to wait until the next train station, you can fight now. Jia Lei took out the phone and handed it over.
"But we don't have a cell tower here, this phone won't work!" said Kokina.
"Yes! I have a satellite phone, which is very different from ordinary big brothers, and can be used in any country in the world. Jia Lei pushed the phone over and said.
"Satellite phone! I've heard of this thing, and I used it before for a guest in a high-class sleeper. Kokina took the phone and said excitedly.
****
Kokina contacted the animal epidemic prevention station, Jia Lei and they got off at Zabaikalsk station in a country E city, and Kokinato's acquaintance could ask Jia Lei to take Xiaobai to the veterinary station for 1200 rubles to get a quarantine certificate for Xiaobai.
"Huh, why are the people of country E here different from what I have heard? Isn't it said that the Russians are rushing to buy things from the Chinese, but why are all the people of country E here selling things?" Mo Bei asked curiously.
In the past, trains would stay at the station for a long time to replenish the food and water on board, and those Chinese gentlemen took advantage of this opportunity to do business, but in this railway station there were many Russians on the platform to sell all kinds of goods to returning Chinese passengers.
The cheap ones include strollers, binoculars, electric shavers, kettles, watches, kitchen utensils, and the expensive ones are fur coats, gold and silver jewelry, and so on.
"A few Chinese guests, would you like some authentic Baikal smoked fish?" asked an old Russian lady with two large pieces of grilled smoked fish in a paper box.
As the saying goes, the people of the country who rely on the mountains and the water depend on the water, and most of the people of the country who rely on Lake Baikal spend most of this winter on all kinds of fish......
But you can't just eat fish without eating anything else, right?
That's going to be a problem with your body!
Therefore, many locals will sell all kinds of goods like returning Chinese, which can be exchanged for dollars and rubles, and then use the money in their hands to buy other things to eat.
Lake Baikal is particularly famous in China, and I have heard of the local smoked fish, so we can buy some and take it back to others. Jia Lei said.
At this time, other passengers also came down to do business with the people of the E country in the station, and the Chinese people took out US dollars in the money of their favorite goods to buy themselves some goods that could be sold at a high price after returning or souvenirs for relatives and friends.

"Can you do me a favor?" asked a lewd-looking goatee passenger in the next carriage as the train was about to reach the border.
"Of course, what do you need us to help with?" Jia Lei asked.
Everyone has been on the same train for several days, and they are more or less familiar, Jia Lei knows that although the goatee looks like a bad guy, he is actually a serious person.
"I bought a few pairs of imported Italian leather shoes and wanted to take them back to China, but I was afraid that they would be confiscated by the customs of country E, can you help me put the shoes on my feet. Goatee asked embarrassedly.
"Just a few pairs of shoes, is that so?" asked Jia Lei puzzled.
"These shoes are a famous Italian brand, and they can be sold for thousands of dollars when they return to China! This kind of luxury goods are the easiest to be confiscated, because as soon as the customs people in country E sell the shoes, they can sell them for a large price. Goatee said embarrassedly.
"It's not a big deal anyway, we'll definitely help. Luo Nan nodded and said.
So everyone took off their old shoes and replaced them with brand-new Italian brand-name leather shoes, and one of the bodyguards didn't let him change into new shoes because his feet were too smelly and the goatee was afraid that he would have athlete's foot.
"These shoes are going to be sold to our country's own people, and we can't make people sick because of a pair of shoes. Goatee said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, that's as it should be! There are always some people like you, who know that there are germs on the clothes they buy, and they wash the clothes and pretend to be new, and sell them to the people of their own country. Jia Lei said understandingly.
"Oops! I'm about to get to the checkpoint, sister, you can help me hide the dollars. Xia Fatzi ran in sweating profusely and said.
"What's wrong with you?" Jia Lei asked strangely.
"I just heard from the old man in the car that the people of country E have banned the flow of large quantities of gold and dollars out of the country, and if they catch them, they will be sentenced to smuggling! There is a limit on the dollars that a person can carry, and the extra dollars will be confiscated if they are not hidden. Xia Fatzi said anxiously and sweating.
"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hide the money quickly. Ma Li said.
"But where is this money going to hide?" Xia Xiaomei said anxiously.
"You can hide it anywhere, as long as it doesn't get turned out at that time!" Shen Ning said, taking out a screwdriver from his duffel bag and walking to the window.
"What are you doing here?" asked Jia Lei in shock.
"Of course it's hiding money?" said Shen Ning's face unchanged.
Then Jia Lei watched Shen Ning use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the windows one by one, then took down the entire window, took out a stack of dollars from his bag, and stuffed them into the window frames of the windows one by one, and after all the money was almost stuffed, Shen Ning installed the windows back.
"This operation is really 666!" Jia Lei said dumbfounded. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
