PS: Thank you for the latest news of this book, Zhonghua Raul, 73233-83, SLTT three battalion commanders, and Dongfeng Ooper for the reward. This section of the river is not wide, so the ferry did not go long, and it landed on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, and Fang Mingyuan and his party officially entered the Soviet Union.

Under the leadership of Luo Jin, Fang Mingyuan and his party were not harassed by the Soviet customs officers as Fang Mingyuan had thought before, but entered the city smoothly. And when they came out, the people who were on board with them were still under the tedious inspection of customs. People can't help but feel the difference between people.

Out of the customs gate, there is a spacious highway leading straight to the north, two-way four-lane, the road is lined with Russian-style buildings of different heights, it can be seen that there are many buildings in it that have been built for a long time, and it is very ancient and vicissitudes. The city is very clean, but I don't know weishenme, Fang Mingyuan always feels that this place seems to be a little lifeless and less vibrant than in China.

Luo Jin jumped out of his car and squeezed onto Fang Mingyuan's off-road vehicle. "There are a lot of people here who know Chinese, so don't comment out loud about anything you see here. Otherwise, you may get into trouble. Although we are not afraid of old Maozi, we can't compare with them, right?" Fang Mingyuan and Wu Wei nodded, they are abroad, they still know this common sense, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake on the ground, is it difficult for a good man to defeat the nine hands, no matter how strong a person is, he can't stand the other party.

Fang Mingyuan noticed that not far from the customs, there was a spacious and bright shop, and there were models in fur and fur in the window, but there were no customers coming in and out.

Luo Jin noticed Fang Mingyuan's gaze and said with a smile: "There is the Soviet version of the Friendship Store, just like our country, it is only open to foreigners, not to ordinary Soviets, unless they have hard currency, such as US dollars, pounds and the like." Do you want to go in and have a look?" When I came to the Soviet Union, I naturally wanted to open my eyes and see the scenery of the Soviet Union, and with Luo Jin's proposal, Fang Mingyuan and the two naturally went with the flow.

"What is the quality of Lao Maozi's fur coat here? There are no fakes, right?" Wu Wei asked Luo Jindao in a low voice. Luo Jin laughed and said: "You can rest assured, Lao Maozi's goods, there are rarely fakes, like this kind of store, there will be no fakes, they are all sold to foreigners, if there is a quality problem, it is not a general thing, Lao Maozi also has the same headache." So if you have something in your eye, you can buy it with confidence. But I want to remind you that this store has all kinds of high-end goods, such as fur coats, caviar and so on. They are all priced in rubles, and the prices are unimaginable. For example, a fur coat may be priced at a thousand rubles. ”

"A thousand rubles?" Wu Wei shouted loudly, according to the ratio of one to nine, one to seven converted into US dollars, it is more than 100 US dollars, if it is converted to * RMB, it will be more than 1,000 yuan. A Soviet fur coat is worth only about 1,000 yuan, which is simply too cheap! If you buy 1,800 pieces of it and ship it back to China, it will be at least seven or eight times the profit as soon as it changes hands.

"Well, a thousand rubles. However, you can't buy in rubles exchanged outside the store, you can only buy in rubles in the store with foreign currencies such as dollars, yen, and pounds, and you can't directly use foreign currency, which means that only rubles are allowed in the Soviet Union, and foreign currencies are not allowed to be used, which is a major matter related to the dignity of the country. Rozin continued with a smirk.

"Well, this exchange rate is the official exchange rate, right?" Fang Mingyuan had already guessed the result. Lao Maozi is not a fool, of course, it is impossible to sell things cheaply to this point.

"Yes, one nine rubles to one dollar!" Rozin nodded. Wu Wei immediately lost his interest, if this is the case, the price will not be cheap.

"So, come here to buy something, and don't be fooled by their price tags. "Saying that, the group has already walked into the store, the store is very large, there are two female clerks in it, both look like they are twenty-three or four-year-old, Russian girls are more mature than girls of the same age in China, fifteen or nineteen girls, to us look close to twenty years old. However, both clerks are brown-haired and blue-eyed, with white and bright skin, which looks clean and pure, and the contours of their facial features are quite distinct. Seeing Fang Mingyuan and them coming in, he immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Dear foreign guests, you...... Are you Han Chinese?" Although the voice is not very pure, it is enough to surprise Fang Mingyuan and Wu Wei. You must know that last night, the dancers who claimed to have stayed in the Tiger River for a long time, when they spoke Chinese, it was like a chicken and a duck, and it was impossible to guess what they were talking about. But the surprise didn't last long, and the two found that the two clerks could only speak a few common words, and the slightly more complicated slang was beyond words.

"We're foreigners now!" Fang Mingyuan laughed self-deprecatingly, he looked at the store, and there were some Soviet specialties inside, such as caviar, fur coats, Soviet nesting dolls, and some vodka and the like.

"What a beautiful doll!" Lin Lian saw the large and small nesting dolls on the counter at first glance, and couldn't help but exclaim. Wu Wei's secretary also came over with a look of surprise.

"Take these out and let us see!" Fang Mingyuan pointed to the nesting doll on the counter and said, it is rare to have items that Lin Lian takes the initiative to praise, of course he has to take the initiative.

"These are wooden nesting dolls, usually the largest nesting doll that can be turned from the middle, containing several nesting dolls in order, and the nesting dolls can have 5 layers, 7 layers, 10 layers or more, and the appearance of the nesting dolls can be the same or completely different. In the Soviet Union, this thing was also known as a wish-making doll. Rozin said on the side.

"Wishing for nesting dolls?" Lin Lian asked strangely, "How can this thing make a wish?"

Luo Jin picked up a nesting doll, which was a five-layer nesting doll, and turned out the innermost one: "It is to turn out the innermost and smallest nesting doll, and then make a wish to it." But remember, after making a wish, warn it that if your wish is not fulfilled, it will never see the light of day again. And then turn it around layer by layer. In this way, this little matryoshka doll will help you fulfill your wish in order to see shijie outside again. ”

"Will it work?" Lin Lian asked in disbelief, she actually threatened it after making a wish, this thing sounded really new. Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, the designer of this set of theories obviously borrowed the human desire for light and the fear of darkness and loneliness, and applied it to the matryoshka doll.

"Which one of you is the most haode nesting doll?" Since Lin Lian likes it, it doesn't hurt to buy it, now we are not short of money!

The two clerks immediately picked up two boxes from under the counter with great joy, and when they opened them, they were actually two sets of nesting dolls in the shape of Marx and Lenin, which were very beautifully made. These are two sets of twelve-story matryoshka dolls, the most beautifully made of them here. At this time, Luo Jin was also a little moved, among the Soviet nesting dolls, the conventional nesting doll pattern is the most common, and there are also portraits of the previous leaders of the Soviet Union, but like Marx and Lenin, it is quite rare, and this is still a twelve-layer nesting doll, which can be said to be more valuable.

"Is it just these two?" Lin Lian hesitated for a moment. Two Soviet girls said a few words in Russian.

"It's the most handmade matryoshka doll they have here, it's a one-of-a-kind product, and there's nothing like them. Rozin translated, "Maybe there are still in other cities." ”

"Bought it!" Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said, "It just so happens that you and your sister are one set!" He knew that the reason why Lin Lian hesitated was probably because he wanted to bring gifts to Zhao Ya and Feng Qian, there were many things with Soviet characteristics, and he didn't necessarily have to buy the same one for them. Besides, I still have to stay in the USSR for some time, and there is still an opportunity to buy this kind of gift.

"Mingyuan......" Lin Lian was about to speak again, but Fang Mingyuan pushed him into the fur coat placed in the store.

The winter in the Soviet Union was long and cold, and the season for wearing fur fashion lasted for 6 or 7 months, and the Soviet people have always had the habit of wearing fur and leather products. It is said that the annual consumption of furs in the Soviet Union exceeded 10 million sheets, and there was a huge consumer group of about 100 million, so in the eyes of the Soviets, fur clothing could not only show wealth, but also be a necessity in life. So later it was said that buying fur clothing was the third most important demand of Russians after housing and cars. It is the largest consumer of fur on shijie. Since you came to the Soviet Union, it is really unreasonable not to bring a few fur coats to the women of the family. This task was naturally handed over to Lin Lian.

"Among the fur coats of the USSR, the most haode is, of course, the sable coat, which is endemic to living only in the natural conditions of Russia, but this animal is already protected, and sable fur is not allowed to be bought and sold on the market. Most of these fur skins are Karakuli lambskins and fox skins from Central Asia. Luo Jin glanced at it a few times and said casually, "But you can rest assured of the quality." ”

As he spoke, the door of the shop was pushed open again, and several young men with the same yellow skin walked in, led by a Soviet. The two clerks immediately separated one and greeted them.

"Since you came to the Soviet Union, how can you go back without a few bottles of vodka. Luo Jin pointed to the vodka behind the counter and said, "The vodka here is basically of a medium level in the Soviet Union, and the top vodka is the top vodka, so you can only buy it in places like Vladivostok and even Moscow." ”

Fang Mingyuan glanced at the neatly arranged wine bottles, and shook his head disinterestedly, he had never tasted this thing in his previous life, and he was not interested in this life. "Mr. Luo, pick a few bottles, I can't tell the good from the bad of this thing. ”

"How much do these two nesting dolls on the counter cost?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly heard someone say in Japanese, and looked over to see that it was a middle-aged man among the few people who came in just now.

The Soviet man said a few words to the clerk in Russian, and the clerk looked embarrassed and pointed at Fang Mingyuan. Obviously, it tells them that things are already famous. The middle-aged man frowned, and a young man who followed him immediately came to Fang Mingyuan and said in Chinese: "Three comrades, you bought these two nesting dolls on the counter?"

Luo Jin, who was talking about vodka with Wu Wei, turned his head, glanced at him and said, "We bought it!"

"Can you transfer it to us?" The young man pointed to the middle-aged man, "This is Mr. Fujita, a foreign businessman from Japan, and he also has a crush on these two matryoshka dolls." I can pay you 10 percent more. ”

"Not interested. Luo Jin said without hesitation, "Buying things must always be on a first-come, first-served basis, and we also buy things for souvenirs, not for reselling." ”

The young man didn't expect Luo Jin to refuse so neatly and directly, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "Comrade, I am a staff member of the Huhe County Government, Mr. Fujita came to Huhe County to invest and build a factory, and he is a person friendly to China in Japan to support China's economic development, and several of them are also Chinese, how can they ......be like this?"

Luo Jin interrupted him with a sneer: "He invests in his capital, and I buy my goods, what does this have to do with me? Is he my boss? Or is he my boss? Is it a person who is friendly to China in Japan? Hehe, 50 years ago, how can I not see a person who is friendly to China? If you don't sell it, you won't sell it!"

The young man was already a little dissatisfied when he interrupted him, and when he heard what he said, he knew that there was nothing negotiable about the matter, and his face immediately became gloomy. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked back. But it can be seen that he remembered Rozin.

"Hmph, where did you jump out of the stunned blue, what's wrong with the Japanese, Lao Tzu just doesn't like the Japanese! Luo Jin said angrily, "Let the two of you laugh, I don't have a good impression of the Japanese, I've always been like this." Fang Mingyuan and Wu Wei smiled indifferently, they had heard a lot about this kind of bullshit in China, and they couldn't imagine that they could encounter it in the Soviet Union.

After listening to the young man's retelling, the Japanese man looked sorry and turned his gaze to the other things in the store. Bought two nesting dolls and left quickly.

Lin Lian chose two fur coats, and Luo Jin chose four bottles of vodka for Fang Mingyuan. Wu Wei bought three bottles of vodka, a fur coat for his secretary, and a nesting doll. Wu Wei also wanted to buy some caviar, but was stopped by Luo Jin.

The group settled the account and went out with the smiles of the two female clerks, Luo Jin smiled: "The two little girls estimate that they will remember the two of you this year, like in this relatively remote border area, purchasing like you is definitely something that is not available." This month, they must have a lot of bonuses. Well, where are we going down?" There are updates to the latest chapters in a timely manner
