On weekends, there were a bit more people eating in the Turkish restaurant than the last time I visited. The owner of the Turkish restaurant, Mohammed, remembers me and was greeted very warmly as soon as he saw us. "Peng, long time no see." Muhammad greeted me and set up a table for us. As per my advice, everyone ordered a burrito lamb and yogurt, and two large servings of vegetable salad. We had a very good meal, especially Sasha, who had been to Turkey more than once when he returned to Georgia, so he had a soft spot for Turkish food.

After a fragrant lunch, everyone asked for a cup of Turkish coffee, and we drank it to our heart's content, while enjoying the beautiful scenery on the Ob River. Today's weather is very good, the wind is mild and cloudless, the warm sun shines on the Ob River, the birch trees on both sides are golden yellow, the red-roofed villas are hidden behind the birch forest, and the golden-roofed church in the distance shines in the sun, shining golden. Boats of all sizes sail on the calm and wide river, and a few Russians sit leisurely on the top of a cruise ship not far away, drinking beer and basking in the sun, and the scenery on the Ob River is as beautiful as a colorful oil painting. Chao Ge said: "The scenery here is so beautiful, find a time, we will also take a cruise and swim the Ob River." Lena and Katya said in unison, "If you want to take a cruise, you must take us with you." ”

Muhammad came and sat down at the table next to us, "Are you satisfied with your meal?" Mohammed was very concerned about what customers said about the food in his restaurant, we nodded and said it was delicious, Sasha said to Mohammed: "The food you cook is very authentic, it is no different from what I have eaten in Turkey, the coffee is very authentic, the environment is very beautiful, I like it very much, we will come often in the future." Muhammad was so pleased to see that we were satisfied, and he went to the kitchen and brought us a plate of very fine snacks, "This is a snack that we have baked ourselves, and we will give it to you to taste." "Women love desserts and only tasted a small piece of the snack, Lena and Katya were already full of praise, I tasted a piece and it was delicious. These Turks are really businessmen, as the legend says, and this kind of hospitality makes guests feel at home.

After we finished tasting the snacks, Muhammad asked me: "Peng, last time I told you to help me pay attention to any good Chinese products, have you helped me pay attention to them?" I nodded and said, "We have recently arrived with a batch of greeting cards and calendars, and we will also have a batch of very good quality blankets in a while, and you can ask your wife to visit our company or warehouse." After that, I asked Sasha to write the warehouse and company address to Muhammad, who took the address and said, "Thank you! I want my wife to take a look, and I'll buy some of your greeting cards and calendars for the New Year's dinner. Brother Chao gave a thumbs up to Muhammad, "Boss, you are very good at business, your restaurant will have more and more customers, we have become your loyal customers, Lena Katya, don't you say?" Katya grinned and said, "Vanya, as long as you invite us often, we will be 100% loyal customers here." Brother Chao smiled and said to Lena and Katya, "No problem, as long as you work hard, I will invite you to come here at least once a month." Muhammad covered his chest with his hand and bowed slightly, and said very politely to Brother Chao: "Thank you for your compliment, and thank you for taking care of my business." The people who come to eat here are all friends, and you have to learn to make friends when doing business. You are also my friends, you are welcome to come and sit often, and I invite you to drink our traditional Turkish tea. I asked Muhammad with some curiosity: "Do you Turks also like to drink tea as we Chinese?" ”

When I asked this, Muhammad laughed and replied very proudly: "We Turkey is a country that is soaked in tea, and I am afraid that there is no country in the world that likes to drink tea more than us Turks. In Turkey, when we wake up in the morning, we don't brush our teeth and have a cup of tea. In any of our cities, there are waiters who walk the streets and alleys, delivering tea door to door. As soon as you whistle, someone will bring you tea in no time. As long as we have time, we Turks will soak in the café, have a pot of tea and a small snack, play a game of chess with friends, or order a Kaliyan, which is called really enjoying life. With that, Muhammad shook his head and closed his eyes, as if he had returned to his hometown teahouse. What is Caryan Thing? I asked a little strangely. Sasha pointed to a metal and glass craft in the corner of the wall next to the bar that was beautifully carved and had a strong Arabic style, which looked like a lamp, and said: "That's Kariyan, Kariyan is a shisha, and Kariyan has many flavors, but the main ones are fruity, like apples, strawberries, peaches, mints, and cocoa." You can try it in the future, it's fun. "Dare to love this is a hookah, the last time I came, I thought this thing was some kind of Arabic magic lamp. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After coffee, settling the bill, and thanking Mohammed, we left the Turkish restaurant, and Lena and Katya took the subway back to work. Seeing that the weather was good, we were ready to take a walk by the river and go to Roman's house. After walking for a while, I suddenly remembered that I had gone to Roman's house as a guest, but I forgot to bring out the gifts, so I asked Sasha to drive us back to the dormitory. As soon as I heard what I said, Sasha patted his head and said, "Peng, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about it, I went to visit Uncle Tamaz and Aunt Ania and didn't prepare any gifts, let's go to the Turkish restaurant now, I will buy some snacks from the boss that he invited us to eat just now, and see what Turkish specialties he has?" Uncle Tamaz's hometown is in Batumi, Georgia, next to Turkey, and he and Aunt Ania are very fond of Turkish specialties. ”

Muhammad was a little surprised to see us returning, Sasha explained his intentions, and Muhammad clapped his hands and said: "I have an uncle who lives in Batumi, he married a Georgian wife, I have been to Batumi, a beautiful coastal city, and the Georgians are very hospitable. If you want our Turkish specialty, come to the right place with me, I have some of our best Turkish gummies here, which I sometimes take out and give to dinner guests. Since I have a fate with Batumi rice, then I will give you some Turkish delight and a small snack you just ate today. Sasha insisted on paying, but Muhammad said that he would not accept anything, "Dear Sasha, this is a small gift to our Turkish neighbors, the Georgians, and I want them to taste the taste of their homeland, and if you have time, you can bring them here to sit down, and please bring them my greetings." Hearing Muhammad say this, Sasha gladly accepted Muhammad's gift, "Thank you Muhammad, I will bring your greetings and I will bring them here to sit here." You are welcome to visit our company, and if you buy greeting cards and calendars, I will definitely give you the best price. Muhammad again put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Sasha in thanks.
