After the acupuncture treatment for Roman's parents on Friday morning, Roman took out two Georgian wines and handed them to me, and he told me: "Peng, this Georgian wine is called Wanchkalie semi-sweet red wine, it is Stalin's favorite wine during his lifetime, and the wine that Stalin entertained US President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill during the Yalta Conference in World War II was this wine, **When he visited the Soviet Union, Stalin also used this wine to entertain**. Vanchkale's semi-sweet red wine is produced very little in Georgia, and it is not seen in Russia at all, this is my father's collection, he heard that Vanya returned home tonight, and specially took out these two wines, you give Vanya to him to take back, one for your parents and one for his parents, they are all ** and Stalin's people, I think they will definitely like my father's gift, and please ask Vanya to say hello to my parents and me! "I was very touched in my heart, Brother Roman Chao and my parents were almost the same era, they had experienced the friendly period of Soviet and Chinese brothers and comrades-in-arms together after World War II, and my mother also studied Russian when she was in middle school, and she grew up watching Soviet movies and being influenced by the Soviet Union. I took the wine, "Thank you, thank you, Uncle Tamaz, and thank you for our parents, I must Vanya bring your precious gifts and greetings." ”

When I returned to the company, I handed over these two bottles of precious Wanchikalie semi-sweet red wine to Brother Chao, and conveyed Roman's words to Brother Chao, Brother Chao was also very moved, "Dapeng, this gift is too precious, it is a testimony of the friendship of our ancestors, I will hand it over to our parents after I go home, and ask them to treasure it, they have a deep affection for Stalin and **." I went back to Roman and bought some good Chinese medicine for rheumatism and brought them back to give them to them. "I said;" Brother Chao, you can also buy me a gift, I want to give them a bottle of our Chinese liquor. Brother Chao said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it, when I come back, I will bring Moutai wine to them in the name of the company, after all, Roman has helped us a lot." ”

There is a saying in the north that tells the dumplings to get on the car and get off the noodle, which is to say that people should eat dumplings before going out and eat noodles when they come back from afar, so that they can be smooth and profitable. Brother Chao's plane is more than 11 o'clock in the evening, I decided yesterday to make dumplings for Brother Chao to see off this afternoon, Tanya and Natasha both said to ask for leave and rush back early. Seeing that it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, I wanted to go to the market to buy materials for making dumplings, so I asked Brother Chao if I wanted to go to the market with me to buy some things to bring back to China? Brother Chao said that he had to go shopping, and promised Xiao Wang that they would bring chocolates, and if they forgot it, they would be scolded to death when they went back. Brother Chao explained the specific work of Lena Katya recently, and we went out to the market.

On the way, I asked Brother Chao: "Brother Chao, what kind of dumplings do you want to eat?" Brother Chao replied with a smile: "I want to eat cabbage and pork, can you do it?" I smiled and said, "I can only make cabbage pork traps, which are similar to cabbage pork traps." Brother Chao pouted and said, "How can it be the same?" The taste is so bad that I've been here for so long that I've almost forgotten what Chinese cabbage tastes like. I thought about the appearance of Chinese cabbage and said: "My least favorite thing to eat at home is Chinese cabbage, now I listen to you say this, I also want to eat, this Russian vegetable variety is too few, in addition to potatoes, cabbage is onion and carrot, cucumber and tomato are still imported, more expensive than meat, fruits are also expensive to death, how cheap are vegetables and fruits in our family, super brother We send vegetables and fruits to sell." Brother Chao slapped me on the shoulder, "Dapeng, why didn't I think of this business, this is definitely a good business." "I also think this is really a good business" Brother Chao can't think of it, because you don't know how to cook, never go to the vegetable market, and study those steel and chemical raw materials all day long, I didn't think of these little things at all, I didn't expect it either, just now I just said in passing, I didn't expect you to really care, but we haven't done this business before, it shouldn't be a very simple thing, transportation and storage should have a lot of knowledge. Brother Chao thought for a while and said: "Well, I want to understand this, after all, it is too far to ship from China, and the weather in Russia is so cold, but since the cucumbers and tomatoes sold in the mall can be imported, I think we can also do it, let's go to the largest non-staple food mall in the city center, where there are many varieties of chocolate, and we will also learn about the imported vegetables and fruits by the way." ”

We waved down a private car on the side of the road and headed straight for the grocery mall in the city center. Although it is the largest central grocery store in Novosibirsk, it is much smaller than the large grocery malls in China, and the variety of products is small. We decided to go to the vegetable and fruit area first, the fruit counter saw that there are small apples produced locally, such apples in the country for a few cents a pound I am afraid that no one cares, but here it is grandly placed on the counter of the big shopping mall, and the price is not cheap, there are some imported apples bananas and oranges with surprisingly high prices, if the local small apples dare to buy by the pound, then these imported fruits only dare to buy a pound. No wonder Russians drink that kind of drink made with dried fruits that tastes a little weird, Brother Chao said that ordinary people in Russia eat fruit in winter at home, and they eat it separately by cutting it into several pieces. Thinking that we rarely buy fruits, we bought some local apples and imported bananas and oranges, and a little bit of something cost more than 100,000 rubles and almost more than 200 yuan.

Walking to the vegetable counter, I seemed to be like Columbus discovering the New World, and suddenly saw more than a dozen cabbages on the counter, the cabbage was wrapped in plastic wrap outside, the size of each cabbage was about the same, the label ridiculously said Beijing cabbage, and then took a closer look at the price, so shocked that my eyes almost didn't fall, a cabbage 50,000 rubles, synthesized more than 70 yuan. According to the size of the cabbage, a cabbage is about a kilogram at most, wow! A pound of cabbage, which is the most expensive in the country and sells for one dollar, is sold for thirty or forty yuan here, and if you look at the cucumbers and tomatoes placed next to it, they also sell for fifty or sixty thousand rubles a kilogram. On the shelf behind the counter, I saw handfuls of coriander for sale, a small handful of coriander is only 50 grams, and here it costs 10,000 rubles, and a kilogram costs 200,000 rubles, almost 300 yuan. At the level of income of ordinary Russians, it seems that only the colors of the spring vegetable garden can be seen on the tables of the Russian nouveau riche (the Russian name for a group of people who quickly became rich after the collapse of the Soviet Union). I asked the salesperson, "Why is it called Peking cabbage?" The fat salesman replied with humor: "That must be the Beijing chief, haven't you Chinese seen Beijing cabbage?" Brother Chao and I laughed when we heard this, and the salesperson asked, "Why are you laughing?" Brother Chao replied: "We have seen cabbage, but it is the first time we have seen cabbage growing in Beijing." The salesman who believed it to be true said: "Poor Chinese, you have to see your own country's Beijing cabbage in Russia, in your China, only rich people can afford to eat Beijing cabbage?" We couldn't help but smile and nodded solemnly, and Brother Chao asked, "Where did these imported vegetables and fruits come from?" The salesman replied: "Of course, it was flown in from Moscow." Brother Chao asked again: "Is anyone buying it so expensive?" The salesman pouted and said, "How can no one buy it?" Now those Russian upstarts don't care about the price, the 100 Beijing cabbages that arrived yesterday, you see that's all there is left now. "We decided to be rich and have a pork and cabbage dumpling at night, so we bought two cabbages and a kilogram of cucumbers and a kilogram of tomatoes under the surprised eyes of the salesman.

In the taxi back to the dormitory, Chao said that he would go back to seek the opinion of the company's boss first, and then investigate and investigate, if the vegetable and fruit project is feasible, he will study with Valoka after returning to see if they are interested in cooperating with the vegetable and fruit project. I thought to myself, I really didn't expect that a topic of pork and cabbage trapping dumplings would bring out a good project.
