After dinner in the evening, Vasily drove me and Danya back to Novosibirsk, and before leaving, Vasily loaded a large bag of potatoes and onions and several large bottles of canned vegetables into the trunk of the car, and Lyuba took a few black bread from the store and handed it to Danya. Tanya grimaced at me and said, "My parents were afraid that I wouldn't have enough to eat in the youth apartment, so they packed a lot of food every time they delivered me, and this time they loaded more than before. I said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough this time." Dania laughed. Later, Danya told me that most of the young people living in the youth apartments lived in rural homes, and that they would not be able to live in Novosibirsk without the delivery of potatoes, onions, and canned vegetables from their families.

On the way back to Novosibirsk, Vasily said: "When Danya is on vacation, you can come and stay for a few more days, and by the way, give Tanya's grandmother acupuncture." I said, "Maybe it won't be long before we bring someone over here to inspect the farm." When Vasily heard this, he excitedly said: "Ochinhara is less (great)." Then he pointed to the large area of abandoned farmland outside the car window and said: "The land of Novosibirsk is very fertile, many crops are suitable for planting, the climate in spring and summer is humid, the rainfall is relatively abundant, and there is almost no need for artificial irrigation. I asked, "With such a good land, why don't the people here grow more land?" Vasily shrugged and said: "Our people here are used to the mechanization of agriculture, and they can only cultivate a small amount of land by manpower. You must know that Russians are relatively lazy, their own family grows enough to eat, if they are like you Chinese, where will our town be so poor. "I've seen that Russians are lazy, but I can't say it, Russians can say that they are not good, but they can't listen to outsiders say that they are not good.

After arriving at the youth apartment, Danya introduced Chao Ge to Vasily. Tanya boiled water for us to make tea, and while drinking tea, while asking some about the situation of Luningna's town, Chaoge said to Vasily: "There is an agricultural cooperative in China that is very interested in agricultural cooperation here, and they will come over after a while, and when the time comes, we will take them to Luninga for inspection, and we need you to help arrange it there." Vasily agreed. Before Vasily left, I found an unopened bag of jasmine tea and asked Vasily to bring it to Lyuba. After sending Vasily away, I told Brother Chao what I had seen and heard in the small town of Luningna, and Brother Chao thought for a while and said: "If there is an agricultural cooperation project in the countryside of Novosibirsk in the future, there will be so many drunkards in the town, and labor will also be a problem in the future, so it seems that it will be necessary to bring some farmers from China to farm the land at that time." I said, "Send me to work there then, I like the countryside and I like Pannia." Brother Chao looked at me and shook his head with a smile and said, "Send you there, forget it, I'm afraid you will soon become an alcoholic over there." I laughed.

When Roman picked me up the next morning, Brother Chao gave Roman the Moutai wine he had brought, and told Roman that this was the best liquor in China, and that the national leaders drank when they received foreign guests. Roman said he had heard of Moutai, a famous liquor that had won the World Gold Award. At home, after his father Tamaz saw Moutai, Roman said that he would put this bottle of Moutai in the restaurant and put it with Stalin's favorite wine, Wanchikale, semi-sweet red wine, and also told the customers who went to the restaurant to eat that this was Stalin's friend Mao's favorite wine, and then put the ginseng next to it, more people would be interested, and I thought to myself that this Roman was really a master of sales. Tamaz said he wanted to taste Moutai, and Roman asked me how much does a bottle of Moutai cost in China? I said it would be about $100, and Roman asked me to bring a bottle for him the next time I sent ginseng, and I said I'd give him a bottle of Moutai at that time.

After the acupuncture treatment for Roman's parents, while drinking coffee in the living room, I said to Roman: "Roman, the ginseng and jade carvings have arrived tonight, and I have to go to the train station to pick up the goods. Roman said, "I'll send someone to drive with you, and it just so happens that all the ginseng in the restaurant has been sold out." I continued, "I sent some slimming tea from China. Roman listened with great interest and asked me what kind of diet tea it looked like, and I explained. Roman thought for a moment and said, "Diet tea should not be suitable for sale in restaurants, but you give me a box, and I will also put it in the restaurant to see." If you can get some good Chinese tea, I think it would be good, I bought some green tea in Georgia and put it in the restaurant, and there are often customers who eat to buy it. I asked curiously, "Does Georgia also grow tea?" Roman replied: "Yes, Georgia grows tea, and Georgian tea was first cultivated by you Chinese, and it has also won gold medals internationally." I was very interested and asked Roman to tell him about this history, and Roman said, "I also listened to my father, and he knows better, so I want him to tell you about it." ”

At this time, Tamaz said on the side: "Peng, let me tell you about this history, there was no tea in Georgia a long time ago, and it was the Russian Tsar Catherine II who gave the samovar and tea as gifts to Tsar Irakli, and Georgia learned about tea. A hundred years ago, the Russian tea merchant saw that there was a huge potential market for tea in Russia, and wanted to experiment with planting tea trees in the Caucasus, so he hired a tea master surnamed Liu from China to lead a group of skilled workers to Georgia to teach tea planting and tea making technology. After arriving in Georgia, Liu Chashi and others cultivated tea plantations on wasteland, set up tea factories, trained technicians, and finally roasted the first batch of tea after three years. Successful planting practices have proven that tea plants can be cultivated and promoted in Georgia. Liu Chashi worked for seven years at the **fu estate, and the tea he cultivated and produced was awarded a gold medal at the 1900 Exposition on Industry in Paris, France. Liu Chashi himself was praised as the founder of tea by the Russian government for his outstanding contributions, and the Russian government awarded him a medal. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his work in Russia, the Soviet government awarded him the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in recognition of his contribution to the development of tea cultivation in the Caucasus. At the end of the eighties of the last century, the development of the Georgian tea industry entered its heyday, with a tea planting area of nearly 70,000 hectares, accounting for more than 90% of the output of the former Soviet Union, with an annual output of four or five hundred thousand tons of grade tea and processing into about 100,000 tons of finished tea, and one kilogram of finished tea needs about four kilograms of tea leaves. At that time, tea production was the fourth highest in the world, meeting more than 90% of the market demand in the former Soviet Union, and exported to some European countries. The quality of tea in many small producing regions of Georgia is very good, and during the Soviet era, it was supplied to government officials. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many tea factories closed down, and now the Russian market is full of Indian tea, and it is becoming more and more difficult to drink Georgian tea. When I heard this, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Unexpectedly, Georgia turned out to be a big tea-producing country, and it was us Chinese who brought tea over. Tamaz said: "I really have to thank you Chinese Liu Chashi for your hard work, so we Georgians have always regarded you Chinese as good friends." We have three good things in Georgia, wine, mineral water and tea. ”

Seeing that I was very interested, Roman took out a box of Georgian green tea from the kitchen fridge and brewed it himself. I saw the fresh and tender leaves in the cup of green tea soup, and after drinking it, the bottom of the tongue was full of sweetness and aroma, and the spirit was lifted. I couldn't help but blurt out, "It's really good tea." Roman said proudly: "This is the best green tea in Georgia, and the young shoots picked in May have a very small yield. I said, "I have brought some jasmine tea from China, and I will give you a bag tomorrow." ”

In the afternoon, Sasha came to the company and studied the wood business of Ulan-Oud with us, and Chao Ge said that the domestic head office was very interested in wood. After talking to Ulan-Ude on the phone, Sasha decided to go to Ulan-Ude on Friday to check on the situation, and Sasha drove us there to buy tickets for Friday.

In the evening, Roman sent a Russian guy named Andrei to take me to the train in a Deradar, and when I passed by the flower shop, I saw that the flower shop was not closed, so I went in and bought a bouquet of flowers. As soon as the international train arrived, I asked Andre to go back to the Lada car to rest first, and come to the platform to pick me up in half an hour. After greeting Lena at the door of the carriage, I entered Sveta's box with flowers in hand. Sveta happily kissed me at the sight of the flowers, then pulled out a woven bag from under the bunk and handed it to me. I took out a ginseng from the bag and gave it to her, told her how to take it, and took out two hundred dollars from my pocket and handed it to her, Sveta repeatedly said Nirvana (no), I insisted on giving it to her, and she only received a hundred dollars in the end, I said that I would ask her to help me bring these things every time in the future, Sveta said no problem, but there was an additional condition, I had to find time to go to Moscow to accompany her for a few days, and I agreed to come down. Then like last time, I quickly gave Sveta acupuncture, and...
