Chapter 49: The Flea Market
On Sunday morning, Tanya woke me up early and woke me up after breakfast. I asked sleepily, "Tanya, it's Sunday, why are you up so early?" Tanya pulled me up from the bed and said, "Honey, come with me to the flea market today, I want to buy a fur coat, the flea market opens early, and you can't buy good things if you go late." I was curious and asked, "Is there still a flea market in Novosibirsk?" How did I not know. Danya smiled and said, "You've only been here for a few days?" How can you know everything, the flea market is only open on Sundays, and not on weekdays. As I got dressed, I asked, "Do you sell fur coats at the flea market?" In China, flea markets sell old stuff. Tanya replied: "The flea market here used to sell old things in the beginning, but now everything is sold, and the price is cheaper than in the central market, where I used to see coats with Turkish fur for only 1.8 million roubles, and in the central market it sells for more than 2 million roubles." I asked, "Why is it so cheap there?" Tanya replied: "The flea market was the first market where people handled and exchanged items that they did not use at home, they did not need any business license, they only needed to pay a little management fee, and whoever went to a good place could set up a stall in the morning, and in the past two years, people began to sell new items, because there was no cost, so the price of things was cheap." I asked, "Where is the flea market?" Is it big or not? Are there a lot of people shopping? Tanya replied: "The flea market is in a suburban park, not far from us, it used to be small, but now it is getting bigger and bigger, there are a lot of people shopping, and everything is sold for fun." As soon as I heard it, I was interested, and said, "Then I'm going to go and have a good look." I then asked with concern, "Tanya, do you have enough money for a fur coat?" Tanya replied, "I have three hundred dollars of my own, and you gave me another hundred dollars, which is enough, but I haven't had time to exchange it for dollars, and it will be the same when I buy it with dollars." I said, "Give me the dollars, and I'll give you two million roubles, and I wanted to exchange the ten million roubles that Vanya gave me for dollars in the next two days." Tanya was very happy to hear this, kissed me and said, "Hehe, dear, you are really a generous bank, such a good exchange rate, but unfortunately I don't have too many dollars, you accompany me to the flea market, I will treat you to delicious food at noon today." ”
Tanya wore a kimono-style pajamas that only covered her buttocks, her hair was pulled up to reveal her white neck, and the pajamas couldn't cover her tall and plump breasts. Tanya blushed and grinned, "You're so bad, didn't you eat enough last night?" I smiled and said, "Now I want to eat again." Tanya was a little excited by my touch, raised her face and kissed me, and when I wanted to take off her pajamas, Tanya grabbed my hand, "Don't do it, honey, otherwise you really won't be able to go to the flea market." I had to give up and open the window and take a few deep breaths of the cold air outside to cool down the heat in my body.
After breakfast, I gave Tanya two million rubles, and after thinking about it, I took another million rubles with me, anyway, there will be no police to check me if Tanya is with me, even if I do, I am not afraid. After the incident at the airport, I had to check if I had my passport with me when I went out, and I didn't bring a lot of money. Before eight o'clock we left the youth apartment and took the tram to the suburban park at Marx Square. I said, "It seems that there are not many people who go to the flea market." "Tanya put her arm around me and leaned against my shoulder, her eyes closed, her face still a little crimson, probably not calming down from the excitement of the morning. She replied in a very lazy voice: "It's too late for us to go to the flea market, and the market opens at six o'clock in the morning, and the people who sell their goods go to take up their seats at four or five o'clock." I asked, "What time does the flea market end?" Tanya replied, "It's over at three o'clock in the afternoon." I said, "Why do you start so early, can't you start later and finish later?" Tanya replied: "You know that people don't have money now, so they want to buy some bargains or sell things that are not useful at home, so they come early to occupy the space, and those who only do business in the flea market on Sundays have to come early to occupy the space, otherwise there will be no place when it is late, and people who want to buy cheap things also come early, and they are afraid that they will not be able to buy bargains in the evening, so many people take the first bus at half past five in the morning to visit the market." People usually go home for dinner until noon, so they end early. It's just too early for me to bear to wake you up. I thought this was interesting, so I smiled and said, "If it continues like this, then it will not be the night before to occupy a place and open the market in the middle of the night, and it will be over in the morning." Danya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "Peng, you really imagine that in this case, only the wolves in the forest will come to visit the market in the middle of the night." Is there really a wolf in the forest around the suburban park? Danya grinned and said, "Of course there is, it's for eating villains like you." I put my arms around Danya and made a very fierce look, "Ah! Fool me, I'm a big bad wolf now, I'm going to eat you deceitful little white rabbit. Tanya closed her eyes and looked scared and said, "Mr. Big Bad Wolf, please eat me quickly, preferably immediately." After saying that, he raised his face and sent his sexy lips over, but the big bad wolf was almost swallowed into his stomach by the little white rabbit...
While we were still immersed in the world of self-forgetfulness, the tram had reached the end of the suburban park station. Before I got out of the car, I saw a crowd of people in the park, and the surrounding open space was also full of cars. We started to visit the market with the flow of people, and the park was actually a large clearing in the forest, which was completely different from our domestic parks, with no walls, no gates, and no public facilities. I think this is a place where people come to camp, party, or exercise. Most of the people who sell their goods come in their cars, and they put what they want to sell directly on the roof and front lid of the car, or simply open the trunk for customers to pick and choose. There are also some elderly people who spread a plastic sheet on the ground and put some small things to sell, and put a trolley next to them, which should have come by the first tram. I took a closer look, there are all kinds of things in the flea market, both old and new, most of the people who come by car are selling new things, clothes, shoes, hats, bedding, hardware and tools, and even small electrical appliances are also sold, no less than the central market. Those who come to set up stalls with trolleys are basically selling old goods, old clothes, tableware, bottles and cans, handicrafts, books, stamps, medals, etc., which should be idle things at home. I was suddenly attracted by something from an old man's stall, an old-fashioned suitcase camera. I walked over and picked up the camera and studied it carefully, and found that it was a German Aike brand camera, and the old man saw that I was interested and said that he bought it when he was young, and it was well maintained, and now he can still take pictures. I asked him, why do you want to sell after following him for so many years? He said that the pension was too low, and he sold the camera for food, and he couldn't eat the camera if he kept it, and now this kind of film is no longer available. When I heard this, I thought that these retired old people were really pitiful, and asked him how much the camera was, but the old man asked me if 200,000 rubles was okay? 200,000 rubles is only more than 300 yuan, I didn't say a word and took out 200,000 rubles and handed it to him, the old man hesitated for a moment and took the money, I think he may be a little unable to believe that I will be so happy, thinking that I will negotiate with him for a price, maybe his antique camera has been sold for a long time and no one cares. After the old man put the camera in a leather case and handed it to me, he took a book and gave it to me, saying that it was a collection of Pushkin's poems. At this time, Danya came over, saw the Pushkin poetry book in my hand, and excitedly took it, "Honey, do you know? I like Pushkin's poems the most. After saying that, she opened the book and began to read in her mouth: If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't be anxious! Melancholy days require calm: believe it, happy days will come. The heart is always yearning for the future; Now it's often melancholy. A qiē is instantaneous, and a qiē will pass; And what has passed will become a cordial nostalgia. The old man also recited along. I saw a tear slip from the corner of the old man's eye. After the recitation, the old man repeated that a qiē will pass. From the bottom of my heart, I silently pray for these miserable old people, hoping that these difficult days will soon pass.
After shopping for a while, Tanya found her favorite fur coat, which was sold for 1.9 million rubles, and after bargaining, the last 1.75 million rubles were sold. There are also some Turkish clothes on this stall, I picked them up and looked at them carefully, and I felt that the quality was much better than the low-end clothes that our Chinese masters had turned upside down. The seller was an Azerbaijani boy, and I asked him where the goods came from. He said he was going to Turkey to get in, and I asked him if he was just selling at the flea market? He said that he usually drives a car to sell goods on the move, so I asked him why he didn't set up a stall in the central market to sell goods. He replied that the booth fees were too high and the taxes were too heavy, and that it was a big deal to pay some fines to the police. At this time, I suddenly thought of the verbal agreement between us and Valoga, if our company signed a contract with Valroga's company, then wouldn't our company also face the problem of sales tax, and Brother Chao and I ignored this matter at that time. I'm going to ask Accountant Lena about this on Monday, and I'm going to talk to Brother Chao.
After buying the fur coats, we went on to the market. I suddenly saw Xiao Liu and a slightly chubby Chinese guy standing next to a car in front of the car, with some leather jackets and down jackets and old Adidas tracksuits on the front lid and roof. Xiao Liu also saw me, and walked up to us in a few steps excitedly, "Brother Peng, Hello Tanya!" I'm still talking about you. I punched Xiao Liu, "You kid is really not interesting, you don't tell me in such a fun place, you ran over to practice the stall by yourself, I'm afraid that I will know and grab business with you?" Xiao Liu laughed and said, "Brother Peng, look at what you said, why didn't I think of you?" I called you to the office yesterday, and Katya said that you didn't go to work, and you were lazy when Brother Chao returned to China, why did you go yesterday? Accompany the beautiful woman at home, right? I smiled, "I went to the wedding yesterday, I didn't go to the company, which one is your classmate, right?" I looked at the slightly chubby Chinese guy standing next to the car, and Xiao Liu replied to me: "Yes, the old man of our class." After speaking, Xiao Liu took us to the front of the car and introduced me and Tanya to Daming, "Daming, this is the Peng brother and the beautiful Danya I told you about." Da Ming first said hello to Tanya in Russian, and then hugged me with a fist, "Brother Peng is good!" The little brother has long admired Brother Peng's name, listening to Wei Jia say that you will have acupuncture skills, easily get the beautiful flight attendant of the international train, and on the first day of the youth apartment, I won the beautiful teacher with a hand in the kitchen, little brother, I really admire Brother Peng, I have always wanted Wei Jia to take me to visit you, I didn't expect to meet here today, it is really a blessing for three lives. I want to laugh in my heart, it seems that this kid has read too many martial arts novels, and I also hugged my fists and pretended to say: "Thank you for the praise, I really don't dare to be, I will only have some carving insect skills, and I will meet my brother here today, and I will be fortunate to meet my brother." Xiao Liu watched the two of us on the side, and couldn't help laughing, "Dare to ask which school the two heroes are from?" The three of us laughed together, and Tanya asked us what we were laughing at for some reason, and I explained that we had a good time knowing each other, and we were just saying hello to each other with ancient Chinese etiquette.
After laughing, Xiao Liu said: "Da Ming is the first man in our class to come out to practice the stall, and now he is the richest rich man." Da Ming smiled and said: "I'm making a little money by making a little fuss, I want Brother Peng to laugh, I can't compare with Brother Peng, you are serious about doing big business, and you are a real international boss." I asked Daming: "Did you carry all your goods by yourself?" Da Ming replied: "Yes, I buy a ticket for a box every time, and the goods I bring over are enough for me to sell for a while, and then I will go back and bring the goods after I sell them." I asked, "Then you don't have to go to class?" Da Ming replied: "I usually go to class, and I only come out to practice on weekends." I asked, "You bought this car?" Da Ming replied: "Yes, it is inconvenient to practice without a car, and it is not much money to buy a second-hand Lada." I asked, "Do you have a driver's license?" Da Ming replied: "Where is the driver's license, don't we have that health certificate, when I encounter a car check, I will fool the police with that, and tell them that it is an international driver's license, and the police can't understand it, under normal circumstances, it's fine, if there is a more serious one, it's a big deal to give 50,000 rubles to get it." I gave a thumbs up to Da Ming, "Cow!" What should I do if I encounter a police investigation in a practice stall? Da Ming replied: "Just pay a fine of 180,000 rubles, I will say that I have no money to sell goods to earn some living expenses, and the police are good to students like us, and they generally don't get stuck with us." And I come to the flea market on weekends to practice stalls, and there are very few police officers in this place, and most of the police are also off on Sundays. "I didn't see that this kid was not very old, but he was an old man. I then asked, "How's business going here?" Da Ming replied: "Business is not bad, the price of my goods is not high, almost on the line, the goods I brought today are almost sold early in the morning, and I will be ready to withdraw after a while." Originally, there were two buddies who were coming, and they played games too late last night, and they didn't get up this morning, or we could still be more lively here. In the past, we had two or three cars parked here, and the market was full of excitement here. If you think, the people who can get up early in the morning to visit here are poor, and as long as the quality of the goods is about the same and the price is not high, the business will not be bad. I asked Xiao Liu: "Why haven't your sportswear been sold out yet?" Xiao Liu replied: "There is only this set left, I sold it cheaply in the morning, and three sets were bought at once, and the gloves that the fat brother gave me were all sold at once." I want to sell the rest of the set at a higher price, I can sell it, and if I can't sell it, I keep it for myself, how to say that it is also Adidas, the Russians will recognize this brand, and the pickled girl must also wear a famous brand. I smiled and said, "Don't think about picking up girls all day long, you must first learn Russian well and then think about how to make money, otherwise how to pick up girls?" Xiao Liu said with a smile: "Brother Peng is reasonable, how long are you going to go shopping?" I looked at my watch and said, "I'll go around with Danya again, and we'll go back in a little while, or you'll go to my place in a little while and cook and eat together at noon." "Xiao Liu and Da Ming said yes together.
Tanya and I wandered around for a while and met two Vietnamese people who were selling low-end sportswear and padded clothes, and I nodded and said hello to them. Seeing that the time was about the same, Tanya and I returned to the place where Daming set up his stall, and Daming and the others had almost packed up their things. After coming out of the flea market, we went straight to the wet market, and after buying a lot of food and beer, we went back to the youth apartment. Today, on Sunday, many people went home to the youth apartment quietly, and a few of us made a lively lunch meal in the kitchen. In the afternoon, Xiao Liu and Daming had nothing to do, so they continued to stay in the youth apartment. The three of us began to play cards and fight the landlord, and the fight was dark. We didn't end the fight until Tanya herself cooked dinner in the kitchen and called us to eat.
After dinner, it was already more than nine o'clock, Xiao Liu Daming was going back to school, I said that I was just sending me to the train station, Xiao Liu squeezed his eyes at me when he heard it, "Brother Peng is going to meet his old lover again." I said, "While it's cool, I'm going to acupuncture." Xiao Liu grinned and said: "I understand, acupuncture is the main thing, supplemented by an old lover." I took out the tools of acupuncture and told Tanya that I would go to give acupuncture to a friend, and I would come back later, so I went out with Xiao Liu Daming.
After waiting for a while at the train station, the international train arrived on time. Finding Lena's car, Lena was very happy to see me, hugged me for a while and said to me: "Sveta is waiting for you in her box, the train stops here for forty minutes, you don't have to rush, I'll call you five minutes before the start." ”
When I got to the door of Sveta's box, I knocked on the door, and the door opened from the inside, and Sveta was waiting for me wearing only a nightgown. As soon as I entered the box, Sveta hugged me, and before I could speak, my mouth was blocked by Sveta's desperate mouth. After kissing for a while, Sveta reluctantly parted with me, "Peng, I miss you so much." I smiled and said, "Sveta, I miss you too." After I took out the acupuncture tools, I said to Sveta, "Time is limited, let's hurry up and do acupuncture now." Sveta nodded, and took off her pajamas without shyness, only to see that in her pajamas, Sveta was wearing only a pair of narrow panties, and her sexy and seductive body was in full view, and my mouth was dry again, and my heart was beating faster. After Sveta lay down, he said to me, "Peng, can you not have a needle in your back?" I said, "I have enough time to keep the needle." Sveta grabbed my hand and said, "Fool, where is the time?" I said, "Okay, then I'll prick the acupuncture points without leaving the needles." "I applied acupuncture to Sveta's back in a few places, and after each acupuncture point was pierced and the needle felt like a needle, I pulled out the needle, and then asked Sveta to turn over, and I also applied acupuncture points on the limbs and chest. While doing acupuncture, I told her about asking her to help me bring ginseng, and Sveta said that she should just send it to her when the international train passed through Shenyang Station, and I said that I would get her some Chinese medicine for neurasthenia at that time. Sveta asked me; "Peng, have you found a girlfriend in Novosibirsk?" I answered truthfully; "Yes, dormitory neighbors." Sveta asked, "Is she beautiful?" I said, "She's beautiful, and you're beautiful." Sveta said quietly: "I wanted to wait for the holidays to come to Novosibirsk to look for you, but it seems that it will not work." Peng, will you come to Moscow to see me? I nodded and said, "I will definitely go to Moscow, I will definitely go to see you, and we will meet every time you pass through Novosibirsk." Sveta said, "Peng, I want to get along with you for a few days, but these forty minutes are too short." I said, "When I return home and come back, I will definitely take the international train you are on your shift." Sveta then said happily, "You have to talk and count." ”
As soon as I had put away the acupuncture tools, Sveta pulled me down on the bed. At this time, the first moment in the carriage of the international train is worth a thousand gold.
