Just as QQ and WeChat are commonly used in China, and Facebook is commonly used by Americans, Russia also has its own social networking site - VK.

VK and Facebook are somewhat similar, both are online social networking sites, and the functions are similar. Allows users to leave public or private messages, create communities, public pages, and events, as well as share and tag images, music and videos, browser-based games, and more.

VK's full name, which roughly means contact, is popular in Russian-speaking countries such as Russia and Ukraine, and is said to be the largest online social networking site in Europe. Ekaterina asked me if I wanted to register a number for me, and I smiled and shook my head.

After seeing King Zhong, Catherine and I planned to leave the Kremlin and go to lunch. When I left, I went out from another exit of the Kremlin, and when I went out, I found more than a dozen cannons next to the door, which were said to be trophies.

After walking five or six hundred meters out of the Kremlin, I couldn't help but turn my head and look back at the palace, the red star on the spire of the Kremlin tower sparkled in the sunlight, and this huge and gorgeous palace stood quietly on the banks of the Moscow River, with a solemn beauty.

There weren't many places to eat near Red Square, because I didn't want to go to Gum, and Ekaterina thought for a moment and smiled mysteriously at me, pulled me into the car and left Red Square.

Sitting in the car, I noticed that Catherine was driving in a different direction than the way she came yesterday, and I couldn't help asking, "I said where are we going?" ”

Ekaterina looked ahead and said with a smile: "Take you to eat something delicious." ”

As she spoke, the girl turned her head and winked at me, her face a little sly.

More than 20 minutes later, the car pulled over and slowly stopped. Catherine led me into a shop on the street, and the name on the sign was in Russian, which I couldn't read. You can only guess by the bread pattern on the guò sign and the English word for bread that this is a bakery.

Pushing open the wooden door, the shop is not large, and the sweet aroma of bread and wheat comes to the face. Catherine pulled a chair over for me to sit down, smiled and walked to the counter and said loudly: "Karl! Cal! ”

A young man with blond hair walked out, wearing an apron and a thick glove on his hand, and the young man's eyes lit up when he saw Ekaterina, "Ekaterina, why are you here?" ”

"Come and eat. By the way, let's take a look at my dad to see if you, the apprentice, have disgraced him and made a mess of the bakery. ”

With that, Catherine turned to me and smiled at me and said, "Introduction, Karl, Englishman. It was my dad's bread apprentice. But in the words of you Chinese, he is now out of school, and he is now managing this bakery most of the time. ”

Catherine

Carl smiled and nodded, turned and walked into the back kitchen.

Ten minutes later, Karl came out with two plates, put them on the table and said with a smile: "Caviar bread, a Russian specialty, is also a specialty of our Catherine bakery. ”

Catherine's bakery? I forced a smile and turned my head to look at Ekaterina.

Ekaterina stretched out her hands, "Laugh if you want, I'm used to it." This is the reaction of everyone who hears about this place for the first time, and my dad took over the bakery from my grandfather when I was born, so he changed the name of the bakery to mine. ”

I laughed out loud, and Ekaterina picked up the bread on the plate in front of me and put it in her mouth, her face happy, "Karl, your skills have improved again, almost surpassing my father." Richard, you eat it too, it's delicious. ”

I smiled wryly and waved my hand, "I'm afraid of being fishy, I'm afraid that I won't be blessed." ”

Catherine laughed and picked up a slice of bread and handed it to me, "Don't worry, the caviar used in the bakery is not the same as the one I use at home." The red caviar at home is large, salty and fishy, and it bursts in your mouth when you chew it. Because my dad loves to eat, I always use that caviar, and the caviar in the bakery doesn't smell so bad. ”

I took the bread and opened it in disbelief, butter and caviar were spread between the two slices of bread, the caviar was black, as if the pearls in the bubble tea were only much smaller, and they didn't smell fishy, only a faint salty smell.

I tried to take a small bite, and my eyes lit up, the taste of caviar was indeed not heavy, and there was a fresh fragrance of the sea, slightly salty. It's enjoyable to feel the caviar break in your mouth when you chew it.

Karl smiled and walked back to the counter and came out with two more kvas.

The kvass in the bakery is another flavor compared to the kvass drunk on the train, this cup is said to be made by Uncle Liu himself with the leftover bread in the bakery, and I feel a bit like the taste of beer and soy sauce when I drink it, and it doesn't taste good at first.

After eating and drinking, Ekaterina and I sat in the bakery for a while, during which Ekaterina told me about Karl.

Carl is from Manchester, England, yes, the city where the blue moon is located. In Catherine's words, Karl was an out-and-out food fan, and after traveling to Russia and tasting the caviar bread made by Uncle Liu, he was attracted by the taste of caviar bread, and stayed in Moscow as a baker apprentice.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my head and ask curiously, "Carl, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Karl was entertaining the guests, expertly packing a large column into a large paper bag and handing it to the customer, smiling as he looked for money: "In three months I plan to return to Manchester and open a bakery like the master." “

The big column bar is a kind of bread in Russia, and the column bar means bread in Russian, and it looks a bit like an uncut hamburger, but it is much bigger than the burger, and the one that Carl sold is about the size of a baby's head.

I gave Carl a thumbs up. Turning to Catherine and smiling, "Grand guide, where are we going next?" ”

Ekaterina thought for a moment and then raised her head and said, "Let's go home first, my mother said to make stew tonight." After dinner, I'll show you the Red Square at night, which is much better at night than during the day. ”
