By noon, the international column arrived in Irkusco on time, and the snow had stopped. Chao Ge and I picked up two Baikal smoked fish and got out of the car with the North Korean workers with their simple luggage. The weather was noticeably colder after the snow, and I shivered in the cold wind when I came out of the warm carriage. There were some Russians waiting to buy goods at the station, and Xiao Tao carried two large thermos flasks early and waited at the station, and he happily greeted us when he saw us. After introducing Xiao Tao to Brother Chao, I handed over the smoked fish in my hand to Xiao Tao and took the thermos flask in Xiao Tao's hand, "Xiao Tao, I will exchange these delicious smoked fish for the food you cook." Xiao Tao laughed and said: "Dapeng, you guy is simply a profiteer, and he used me for barter trade, okay, although I suffered a loss, but I accepted it, but Baikal smoked fish is really delicious." Where did you come from? Dapeng, you talked on the phone about returning to China and blinded me. ”

I told Xiao Tao about the process of going to Ulan-Wudefa timber and then going to Manchuria and going to Hongshi, and Xiao Tao listened to me with wide eyes, "Brother Dapeng, you are so good, you can pick up business on the side of the road like this." I said proudly: "Follow Brother Chao, you can't do it if you don't do it." Brother Chao smiled and said to Xiao Tao: "Thank you, Xiao Tao, in such a cold weather, you came to deliver food." Xiao Tao said: "Brother Chao, you are too polite, it is not difficult to send a meal, I have also sat in the international column, and I know what I want most in the international column." Delivering food is secondary, the most important thing is to want to see you and Dapeng. Brother Chao said: "I'm very happy that Dapeng can have you as a good brother, how is your business now, Xiaotao, is it okay to cooperate with that settled Chinese?" Xiao Tao replied: "Our business is very good now, and we are very happy to cooperate with Wang Fatzi, and Wang Fatzi's business is very good now." I also drank with him two days ago, and we also talked about Dapeng, Wang Fatzi said, when Dapeng comes over in the future, he will invite Dapeng to drink. That time, thanks to the arrival of Dapeng, there was such a happy result. "I am also very happy to hear Xiao Tao say this. Xiaotao asked me, "Dapeng, how is the matter with your plan to open a store?" Have you found the right place? I replied, "I haven't found a suitable place yet, I'll look for it when I go back, and my Georgian friend is also helping me find a suitable place." Xiao Tao said: "After you find a suitable place, tell me, I will send you a blanket at any time, the blanket is still very easy to sell." "The international train is about to drive, and after saying goodbye to Xiao Tao reluctantly, we returned to the car. Xiao Tao stood on the platform and did not leave, constantly waving to us, watching Xiao Tao's figure become smaller and disappear little by little in the car window, and the corners of my eyes were a little moist.

Brother Chao and I carried a thermos flask into Lao Chen's box with our front feet, and the fat brother followed quietly. Seeing that the fat brother followed up without any movement, Lao Chen Xi picked up the fat brother: "I said fat, you have to change your name." The fat brother touched his head and asked Lao Chen, "What name do I change?" Are you playing tricks on me again? Lao Chen said, "You should change your name to Fat Cat," the fat brother asked Lao Chen a little inexplicably: "Why do I change my name to Fat Cat?" Lao Chen deliberately looked at the fat brother up and down a few times like the first time he saw the fat brother and said: "Look at yourself, you are fat, you don't move when you walk, your nose is the same as the cat's nose, as soon as there is something delicious, you will immediately follow the taste, as soon as we buy smoked fish, you will run out, and now Dapeng has just brought the delicious food, and you are like a cat without a little movement, do you say you should change your name to Fat Cat?" Brother Chao and I laughed out loud after hearing this, and the fat brother also laughed with him, "Lao Chen, you are fine with everything else, but your mouth is too damaged, I will wait for this meal this day, and when I think of Chinese food, I can't help but salivate out." Brother Dapeng, open it up and take a look, what's delicious? Before I could do it, the fat brother opened two thermos flasks with his hands and feet, one thermos was full of braised chicken nuggets and potatoes, and the other thermos was filled with rice, and suddenly the whole box was filled with the fragrance of food, and several of us couldn't help but swallow saliva at the same time, and when we heard the sound of swallowing saliva between each other, several of us laughed together. I went to call Lena Svetta, Brother Chao called Vera over again, Fat Brother excitedly opened the bottle of Erguotou, we ate this meal happily, especially Fat Brother cleaned the last grain of rice and the last drop of soup in the thermos flask. To be able to eat a hot and fragrant Chinese meal on the international train, I really want to thank Xiao Tao for this brotherhood.

Full of wine and food, Sveta has to continue on duty, and Super Brother is called by Vera to her carriage. I suddenly remembered Xiao Zhang, a Zhejiang man who sold fishing nets, so I went to his box. There was only Xiao Zhang and another middle-aged man in the box, Xiao Zhang was very happy to see me, and introduced me to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man's surname was Lin Hebei, who went to Moscow. Xiao Zhang's upper bunk was empty, and Xiao Zhang told me that his upper bunk had just gotten off in Irkusko.

Xiao Zhang in order to make a cup of Longjing tea, tell me that this is his family planted tea, I see the tea in the cup of the root upright, the color of the tea is emerald green, pick up the teacup fragrant, drink to the mouth with a slight bean fragrance, after a sip of tea swallowed, full of relish, sweet aftertaste, suddenly feel refreshed, than the first time to sit in the international train to come to Wenzhou people to make us the taste of Longjing tea tastes much better. I couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "It's really good tea, although I don't know much about tea, but I feel that this is the best tea I've ever tasted." Xiao Zhang smiled happily, and said to me a little proudly: "Dapeng, I can't see it, you are quite powerful, you can drink the quality of tea, the one who got off the car just now, drinking my tea is not as good as jasmine tea, this is the best Ming Qian tea in my family, I specially brought it to my cousin, and I am usually reluctant to drink it at home." Lao Lin said with some embarrassment on the side: "Brother Xiao Zhang, I'm really embarrassed, I didn't drink a good or bad thing just now, and I rarely drink tea, so I don't understand, if you sell a dragon well, how much is a catty?" Xiao Zhang said: "Although my Longjing is not an authentic West Lake Longjing, my quality Ming Qian tea is sold for at least three or five hundred yuan a catty." "Lao Lin and I both opened our mouths wide when we heard this, this is almost a month's salary of ordinary people, the tea I drink at home seems to be ten yuan and eight yuan a catty, and the best tea I buy during the New Year festival is at most thirty or fifty yuan a catty. Xiao Zhang looked at us in surprise, so he pointed to the tea leaves in the cup and said: "You see this is a bud and a leaf, commonly known as a flag and a gun, this is the best in Longjing tea, and it is picked before the Qingming Dynasty. I looked carefully at the cup, and sure enough, the tea leaves that stood upright were one bud per piece, and I asked Xiao Zhang: "Then how much does this kind of authentic West Lake Longjing cost?" Xiao Zhang said with a yearning face: "The authentic best Shifeng Longjing is not available for money, West Lake Longjing ranks first among the top ten famous teas in China, when Qianlong visited Hangzhou West Lake, he loved Longjing tea very much, praised Longjing tea, and sealed the eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple under Shifeng Mountain as imperial tea. To tell you the truth, I have never drunk the authentic Shifeng Longjing when I am so old, it is not a tea that we ordinary people can drink, it was a tribute to the emperor in ancient times, and now it is also unavailable on the market, and we tea farmers who grow Longjing want to be able to taste the best Shifeng Longjing in person. "Listening to Xiao Zhang's words, I thought to myself, I am very lucky to be able to drink the best Ming Qian Longjing tea today.

I asked Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, you grow tea at home, why did you go to Novosibirsk?" Xiao Zhang said: "My family has a large population, I can grow tea with or without me, I graduated from high school, I have no skills, and I can't find any suitable job at home, it just so happened that my cousin cooperated with the Russians in Novosibirsk to open a Chinese restaurant, and asked me to come over to help, I already like to cook, so I agreed to him." While I was waiting for a passport and visa at home, I also went to study as a chef for a while, and I thought that I might not be qualified to be a chef in China at this level, but it should be fine in Russia. I smiled and said, "It's definitely no problem, I'm a person who hasn't cooked at home, and I can stir up two dishes for the Russians, and they all say it's delicious." Xiao Zhang said: "That's good, my cousin also said that being a chef here is very simple, you don't need to be too high-level, and there are many ingredients." I said, "Your cousin is right, there are only a few kinds of vegetables, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and no seafood, except pork, beef, and chicken, only river fish." How did your cousin open a Chinese restaurant in Novosibirsk with Russians? Xiao Zhang replied: "I don't know the specific situation, my cousin himself is a chef, he used to work in Beijing, and then he came to Russia with the company, and then I heard that the Russians asked him to cooperate in opening a Chinese restaurant, and he asked me to come over to help, and I also brought a lot of spices." I said, "Whatever the reason, it's a good thing for you to open a Chinese restaurant in Novosibirsk, at least you will have a place to eat Chinese food in the future, and you can drink your good tea." Xiao Zhang said: "If you have time in the future, come to me, if I rest, I will go to play with you and cook Chinese food for you." I happily said, "That's great, my youth apartment is full of Russian beauties, and I'll help you find a Russian girlfriend then." Xiao Zhang said excitedly when he heard this: "Then let's say a word."
