After the last acupuncture session for Roman's parents on Friday morning, I asked Tamaz and Ania how they felt the results of the acupuncture. Both Tamaz and Ania said that the effect was very good, and their bodies felt much more relaxed, and Ania said, "Peng, you open a clinic in Novosibirsk, and we will introduce you to many patients." "Seeing that I was so affirmed, my heart was filled with joy that I was able to help others with acupuncture, and I repeatedly said thank you to these two kind Georgian old men, and said that as long as I am in Novosibirsk, I will do acupuncture for them every year. Because the plane to Ulan-Ude in the afternoon was rushing back to the company, I didn't drink tea and chat with them as usual. For more than ten days, I spent almost half a day getting along with each other, and I established a relationship with these two kind old men as if they were relatives. Tamaz and Ania reluctantly sent me to the gate, asking me to come to their house when I had time.

On the way back to the office, Roman told me that there were no suitable storefronts in the central market, and that there was only a place to set up tents in the open-air market. I said that the open-air market is not considered, and it would be best if there were indoor storefronts. Roman said he would ask for me again to see if there were any places in other markets. I said, the rental counter in the mall or the storefront on the busible street will do. Roman thought about it and said that there was a shopping mall not far from his restaurant, and he was more familiar with the owner of the mall, so he helped me ask if there was a place to rent it? Wait until I come back from Ulan-Ude to give me an answer.

Not long after returning to the office, Sasha also drove over. After a brief lunch in the canteen downstairs, we returned to the youth apartment and Chao Ge and I took our luggage and gifts, and we went to the airport. When I arrived at the airport, Sasha went to the parking lot to park her car, and Brother Chao and I waited for Sasha at the door. At this time, I suddenly found that the police who had checked my passport and had been severely lectured by Vidali when I sent Brother Chao were walking in our direction, and this time there were no Vidali and they were not around, and Sasha was not by our side, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The police also spotted us at the same time, and after taking one look at me, as if they hadn't seen anything that had never happened to us, the police walked past us. I let out a long breath and thought to myself that Sergei was not wrong, that these policemen were scared by the mafia. Brother Chao asked me what's wrong, why are I so nervous? I tell Brother Sù Chao that the policeman who was taught by Vidali just now just walked past us. Brother Chao said, now the police also treat us as a mafia, and you don't have to worry about the police checking your passport at the airport in the future. I laughed and said yes. Chao Ge went on to say that the power of the underground mayor Petrovich is too great, these mafias are simply pervasive, controlling all areas of Russia, and there are often reports on the TV news about the assassination of politicians and big business owners, which are all done by these mafios, and we must be careful everywhere when we cooperate with them in the future. I nodded again and again and said, yes, yes, safety is paramount, and I can't throw my life here for money. Brother Chao smiled and said, look at what makes you nervous, we do business with them, and they also need partners to do regular business. As long as we don't offend them, they won't do anything to us. Anyway, in Russia, we have to deal with these mafias everywhere, and we will go to Ulan-Ud this time to investigate, and we will also have to deal with the mafia when buying timber in the future. I suddenly feel now, ever since I entered Russia, I feel like I've been in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather, which depicts the Sicilian mafia.

The plane to Ulan-Oud is still a dilapidated Tu-154, and the cabin attendants are three or four plump motors, which is simply too different from the beautiful cabin attendants I saw on the last time I went to and from Irkusko. In my mind, I have always thought that flight attendants should be young and beautiful, I have never been on a plane in China, so I don't know what it looks like on a domestic plane, but when I was in middle school, the airline came to our school to choose a flight attendant, and it was like a beauty pageant, not one in a hundred but one in a million. It seems that Aeroflot does not have a standard for flight attendants. There are not many passengers on the plane, Sasha said, Russians prefer to take the train if they are not in a hurry, and the hard sleeper train tickets in Russia are very cheap. I also like to take the train, where I can enjoy the scenery along the way, meet different people along the way, and finish a book that I don't usually have time to read.

After a three-hour flight, the plane reached Ulan-Ude. When the plane landed, you could see the beautiful Lake Baikal from the window again, the water of the lake glowing with a charming multicolored sheen in the sunset, and the scenery against the golden forest surrounding the shore was breathtaking. I can't help but feel a little excited when I think of going to the forest farm by the lake this time and enjoying the scenery of the lake and mountains from the shore. From the air, the small city of Ulan-Ude sits on a rolling hill terrain surrounded by dense primeval forest. The buildings in the city are not very dense, and I didn't find any tall buildings after looking at it for a long time.

The Ulan-Ude airfield is very small, like a railway station in a domestic county, and the tarmac has a smaller plane parked in addition to our plane that has just landed, which Sasha says is Figure 134. The owner of Sasha's cooperative company, who was already waiting for us at the airport, was a tall and fat middle-aged Buryats, and after seeing us, he shook hands with us very warmly, introduced himself as **, and Sasha introduced me and Chao Ge to **. Chao Ge Kua**'s name is good, saying that ** means hero in Mongolian. ** It was very happy to hear that he was a descendant of Genghis Khan, with the blood of his ancestral warriors in his veins, and he was + proud of the name his father gave him.

The car is a long four-wheel drive Lexus off-road vehicle, which is the only car that can be suitable for the roads and forest farms here. After leaving the airport, I found that the words of ** are true, the road from the airport to the city is full of potholes, and only this kind of off-road vehicle with high horsepower chassis will be unimpeded on this very poor road surface. There are many pastures and sparse logs on the side of the road, the windows are mostly painted in bright colors such as yellow, white, blue, and green, and there are some yurts with white spires depicting colorful patterns on the grasslands, and from time to time you can see herds of cattle and sheep on the grasslands, and in the distance under the sky are undulating hills and mountains, which change in fantastic shades of color under the reflection of the setting sun, and the scenery is very spectacular. In front of me, I saw a tall crimson temple, a white pagoda in front of the temple, and prayer flags hung on the trees around it. I suddenly had a sense of time and space, as if I had arrived in another country, far away from the European style of Russia. I wonder if Mongolia on the border with Buryatia is like this? So I asked**Have you ever been to Mongolia? Answering that he goes a lot, I then asked if Mongolia is similar to this place. **It's very similar, but it's much more empty than here.

**Said to take us to a real yurt to eat roast lamb shank, to make us feel the same Buryatian warmth. We didn't enter the city, ** drove us to a large courtyard on the edge of the forest, with a tall wall and a vermilion gate, which made me feel the palace courtyard in ancient times. Entering the gate, a huge yurt is built in the center of the courtyard, in front of the yurt there are two huge wooden carvings of Mongolian warriors holding bows and arrows and large knives wearing armor, and there are also wood carvings of cows, sheep and horses in the courtyard, which is not like a place to eat but like a museum. A tall and plump Buryat woman dressed in a Buryat national costume welcomed us into the yurt, and as soon as we entered the door, we saw a large carved specimen standing in the center of the yurt, and the four walls of the yurt were covered with bows and arrows, scimitars, feathers and other decorations. Along the four walls, there are tables and chairs with very ethnic characteristics painted with patterns.

After a few of us sat down, the Buryat woman brought us a pot of fragrant hot milk tea, a cup of milk tea in our stomach, and I felt warm and the fatigue of the journey disappeared all at once. **Say, after drinking milk tea first, you can drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large chunks. It didn't take long for a large plate of roast lamb leg with golden oil and a seductive aroma to be served, ** poured the small bowl in front of us full of vodka, and then dipped the wine with his fingers, first saluted the heavens and gods, and then raised the wine bowl and said to us, welcome to you, my dear friends. I was reminded of the time I met Ba'il on the international train, and I was thinking about when I would be a guest in Ulan-Ude, but I didn't expect that I would actually be here today. We also learned to worship the ghosts and gods in the same way, and drank the vodka in the bowl in one gulp after toasting with **. Maybe it was because I was hungry or maybe it was because the roast leg of lamb was so fragrant, and after a bottle of vodka, a large plate of roast lamb leg was swept away by the four of us, and the Buryat woman brought a large plate of steaming lamb buns. At this time, the music sounded, and several Buryat girls dressed in bright national costumes entered the yurt with Hada in their hands, offered Hada to us, and then danced a folk dance. When the wine was drunk, ** pulled us to dance happily with these girls. After drinking milk tea and eating a lot of meat, I drank seven or eight bowls of wine in one night without the slightest drunkenness, and danced with light steps.

That night we stayed at a special hotel in Buryatia. I drank a lot of wine, and as soon as I leaned my head on the pillow, I fell asleep. Early the next morning, ** drove us around the city, there are almost no high-rise buildings in the city, all of them are Soviet-era buildings and low wooden houses, and there is a huge bronze statue of Lenin in the central square, which looks very special. This is one of the city cards of Ulan-Oud, and there is only this huge bronze statue of Lenin in the whole of Russia.

After a coffee in a coffee shop, ** drove us to a forest farm on the shore of Lake Baikal. After leaving the city, the car entered the mountains, and the road was lined with primeval forests. The temperature in the mountains is much cooler than in the city, and you can occasionally see snow in the forests along the roadside. When you open the window, you will be greeted by the scent of trees. The road conditions in the mountains are very poor, very bumpy, and we didn't feel a single bump in the ** high-powered off-road vehicle. After more than an hour of driving, the car arrived at the shore of Lake Baikal, and from the car window, the vast Baikal Lake was endless, the waves calmly lapped on the embankment, and a few foraging seagulls flew by, as if they were on the beach at once. We found an open-air café by the lake, and while drinking tea and resting, we enjoyed the beautiful lake and mountains for a while.

** The forest farm is located in the mountains a few kilometers from the lake, and there are large and tall Korean pine and camphor pine forests, and there is a small wood processing plant in the forest farm. In the distance, several forest guards chased a hare in the woods, and a group of alarmed birds flew out of the woods into the sky. I think if I had waited for the snow to fall a little later, I wondered how beautiful the scenery of the forest and snow fields would be.

In the office of the processing plant, the Russian government strictly prohibits the export of red pine, and the camphor pine can be exported through the special railway line controlled by the guò mafia, and he can get it through his friends. Brother Chao asked**Can Chinese goods be exchanged for wood? ** Said that there is a shortage of vegetables and fruits here in winter, and if he can get vegetables and fruits, he can exchange them for wood. Brother Chao and I looked at each other and smiled, I didn't expect that the vegetable and fruit business we were going to do would start with bartering wood.

After returning to the hotel that night, Brother Chao reported the specific situation to the company's boss by phone, and the boss asked us to get the wood back, and the price of the guò mafia was no problem. The next day, we agreed with **Sasha that we would send me the first batch of timber with the money owed by ** company to Sasha, and our greeting card calendar would be handed over to Sasha to sell after the arrival, and this time we would send a batch of onions from China to Ulan-Oud and ** to exchange timber. We were happy with the agreed result, and once again we made a barter with Sasha that would be beneficial to both sides.
