Chapter 189: Stepping on Russian Land
When the day of departure came, he was obviously very nervous about leaving the country where he lived, and Pugachev was extremely excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Christmas in the Russian calendar is January 7th, but the atmosphere of Christmas comes much earlier.
Russia is a completely unknown world, and according to Zhong Haokai, that country is full of opportunities and dangers, in short, wild Russia.
Pugachev bought some West Lake Longjing and heard that it was the best green tea in China, so it was the best gift for his family. "When you get to me, I'll treat you to red sausages, caviar, and vodka." He said proudly.
These Da Ming dare not compliment, although he has little knowledge of Russia, fortunately there is a very versatile sister by his side. When you go to a new place, you must solve the problem of good food and housing, and the residence is very simple, you can live in the consulate, or live in Pugachev's house. And there are some problems with eating, after all, the big lieba and red beetroot soup star fruit over there are worried about those that are not to their taste.
"You are underestimating the merchants of your country, Irkutsk is a distribution center for merchants, and most of the goods there are from your Chinese, flour and rice are available," Pugachev said. ”
In this way, the brother and sister have no worries, and the two of them are about to leave with their passports.
Russian aviation is also as wild as their country, and to be honest the planes are really bumpy. When taking off, the star fruit hugged Da Ming's arm and sighed: "Brother, if the plane falls, even if it is death, we will be together." ”
Da Ming was slightly displeased: "Don't say such unlucky words, we will arrive smoothly and don't think nonsense!" ”
There are too many tragic events in Aeroflot, the pilots are in the wilderness, and even the flight attendants are female men and aunts with big shoulders and round waists. The plane flew at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and the world on the ground was unobstructed. It was the first time the siblings had flown on a plane, and the Boeing 747 headed straight for Irkus. When the plane arrived in Tohoku, the land was already blank, and the snow in Tohoku fell early and lasted for a long time. Finally arriving at the border, the flight crew announced that the plane had officially entered Russian airspace. "It's finally here!" Da Ming turned his head to stare at his sister, who was still afraid, "Now you have to implement your next plan, how about it, are you still nervous about this?" ”
Carambola shook her head: "I'm still afraid, who knows what will happen to this plane as far as Lao Maozi's urine is concerned." ”
Da Ming was embarrassed for a while, although the plane crash was terrible, the probability of happening to his head was basically negligible, after all, there was a lucky little angel by his side. Pugachev didn't know what they were talking about, but he was probably talking about a new world.
Chu Hua intervened in the chat, and he began to introduce the unknown Russia, during which he was the top advisor.
The timber resources of the Russian Far East are extremely impressive, and the earth under the aircraft is snow-white and dark green. A cold snap in Siberia is blowing in the Russian Far East, and the shores of Lake Baikal are already covered with snow, and the land is plunged into the bitter cold of winter.
The plane finally landed safely, and soon out of the hatch, the first thing to greet the brother and sister was the bitter cold, and the two of them could be drowned out by the white mist of water vapor in their mouths while talking.
"It's very cold in Russia, it's almost minus 20 degrees now!" Pugachev said.
Star fruit wore a thick sheepskin coat, and she also wore a ferret hat that Zhong Haokai had given her. All of them were dressed very bloatedly, and most of them were dressed in leather, all of them shaggy.
Consulate staff were already ready in the terminal, and they even held up a wooden sign with a peach blossom on it. Chu Hua knew this line well, and after giving the customs officer some consumption, the entry procedures were quickly completed. This made the brother and sister a little puzzled, is it really rich to make the ghost grind? Seeing that the two children were puzzled, Pugachev immediately explained: "I have to say that there are many bad situations in my country, you should know that most of our citizens are living very badly, corruption is very serious from top to bottom, and a little money can drive them to work efficiently." ”
Corruption or not corruption Daming didn't want to discuss it in depth, so he and his sister had the opportunity to go to the consulate first to make an international call to ensure safety.
The vehicle was ready, everything was new to this strange country, and the two of them sat in the car and enjoyed the surrounding scenery.
"I didn't expect you two to speak Russian very well, you started learning it at a very young age." Chu Hua couldn't help asking. Star fruit does not have the habitual humility of Daming, she immediately calls it like a pistachio.
"You two are really little geniuses. Your grandfather has given me the task, and to protect you is to protect the treasures of the country. ”
Da Ming said modestly: "We don't have so much energy, we are just very lucky children." If we can really build any merit, it will have to be when we grow up. ”
Chu Hua no longer spoke, if it comes to meritorious achievements, the two of them have done a very good job, and solving the functional problem of lithium batteries has made outstanding contributions to China's military industry.
Carambola is more concerned about the world outside the window and has to take a closer look at the city of Irkutsk. The terminals are a bit dilapidated, the construction industry in the city is a bit dying, there are not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, not because people are hiding in their homes because of the cold, but probably more because of the small population of the city.
When the group arrived at the consulate and the group was quickly settled, Pugachev said that his home was not here, but in a place close to the barracks. It was the site of his son's residence and the site of the lumber yard contracted by Zhong Haokai.
"I've decided that you should stay here for a day and get used to life here, and then we'll take the car to my house." Pugachev's proposal was also supported by the consulate staff, and Daming did not say anything more.
Towards evening, the brother and sister went shopping accompanied by Chu Hua, first going straight to the train station in Irkutsk, where there was a market where Chinese gathered, and the two planned to buy something.
Give the brother and sister a little illusion here, there are too many familiar faces here, and the vendors are mostly Chinese masters, and they sell mostly clothes but the prices are a little scary. "It's really a million profits, I can understand why our clothes made a lot of money back then." Da Ming sighed.
"So my brother should accept the role of profiteer. Anyway, the merchants are profit-seeking, and we send the goods they urgently need in the snow, and it is understandable that we charge more. ”
After this market, the two of them didn't buy anything, but when they went to the largest supermarket in the city, they bought a lot. Russian cheese and caviar are very good, vodka is the most popular drink, and there are many kinds of carbonated drinks. There are many biscuits and pastries, and the most expensive ones are always vegetables. Chu Hua pointed and said: "Russians eat a lot of potatoes, there are few varieties of vegetables here, the most important ones are cabbage and carrots, of course, the price is very expensive." ”
"I have to buy it if it's expensive, and I can cook a little bit of Chinese food." Da Ming said.
After buying a batch of food, this shopping should be over, Chu Hua made a phone call to the consulate, and soon a car with snow chains arrived.
Dinner was served at the consulate, where two small Chinese citizens were distinguished guests, because it was approved by the above. Before they knew it, the brother and sister had been promoted to the privileged class, and their value was gradually recognized by high-level officials, and they would not interfere with their travel, but they must help when they traveled where they could.
Dinner was nothing special, and the majority of the staff ate rice and drank rice porridge. The Chinese who stayed in this city are generally not accustomed to eating the more sour Da Leba, but still like steamed buns and rice.
After eating, Daming began to cook international phone porridge, and the two of them kept safe.
The Irkutsk region is closer to the North Pole, and it is now half the year of the polar night, and the days here are even shorter. Chu Hua pointed out that this place is not as peaceful as in China, there will be bad people at night, and the winter night is very cold, and there is no point in going out at all.
The so-called bad guy star fruit is estimated to be a skinhead party, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the people's resentment was boiling for a while, and some crazy young people were doing some extreme things.
If you say separate beds, you will separate them, even in the consulate. Daming gradually got used to sleeping alone, and occasionally subconsciously wanted to sleep comfortably with a soft thing in his arms, but now he was replaced by a sponge pillow.
This night star fruit is full of thoughts about the future, this is his own exploration, he must set up his own oil company in 1998, and the next step must be to convince Pugachev that it is better to establish a company registered in Russia. Yeltsin has not yet stepped down, and this is the emperor of the Far East, and he must develop and expand the oil company before Putin comes to power.
The next morning, the siblings slept in, and the consulate staff did not want to disturb the dream, so they slept until nearly noon, and after a very Russian-style lunch, the siblings went shopping again, and when they returned, their outfits had been changed, and they looked like two wild animals with thick furs.
Pugachev, a guest at the Chinese consulate, stroked his beard, pleased with the siblings' looks. "Yes, you're a forest hunter with a shotgun on your back."
