Chapter 12: Big Bubble Gum
After listening to Lao Chen's narration, the atmosphere in the box became dull. "Brothers, come and drink" Xie San said while giving each of us a glass of liquor, "My wine is a specialty of Manchuria, authentic grain brewed 60 degrees of puree wine, strong and not good, I salute the two elder brothers, the two elder brothers are people who have seen the world through the wind and waves, I Xie San admires people like the two elder brothers who have courage and insight, and I will go to Yekaterinburg in advance to say in advance, junior brother Xie San I saddle before and after the horse, brothers, I will do it first as a respect." After speaking, Xie Sanyi leaned his neck and drained the wine in his cup, "Thank you, Brother Xie San!" My brother is also a man, your friend and brother have handed it over, come, let's drink together, you have to see what storms and waves you come out to break through, don't be afraid, there is no river that can't be crossed, and there is no mountain that can't be crossed. The fat brother raised his neck and drained the wine in his wine glass, "Cheers, cheers!" "Try this steppe white mushroom, my wife learned Lao Maozi's method and pickled it herself, and the silver-edged white fish canned from Lake Dalai, these things can't be eaten anywhere else, my brother hasn't been home in Yekaterinburg for almost a year, just want to eat these bites, specially brought some for him." Xie San let us, "How embarrassing is this, let's leave it to your brother to eat." A few of us excused ourselves, "Let's eat, let's eat, I've brought quite a few." "Okay, then we're welcome." The grassland white mushrooms are pickled and some onions are delicious and refreshing, and the silver-edged white fish is tender and tender, so I didn't expect to be able to eat these delicacies on international trains.
After Irkutsk, the next major station is Krasnoyarsk, the international train has to travel for 18 hours, and it will arrive at 7 o'clock the next morning, during which there are some small stations that stop for a few minutes, and can only go down quickly to breathe. A few of us were drinking and chatting in the box to pass the time. After drinking a bottle of puree wine, Xie San and Wenzhou Lao Gao went back to their box to rest, Lao Chen leaned on the top bunk and looked at the magazines he brought with him, and the fat brother lay on his bunk and fell asleep. I stood in the hallway and looked out the window at the endless forest, reminiscing back to the thrilling legends of the fallen masters. "Brother Peng, Meizi hasn't come over since she returned to her carriage, let's go to her and sit there." Xiao Liu couldn't bear the loneliness, "Okay, go over and see what she's doing?" Xiao Liu took out a bag of dried plums from his bag, "You can't go to visit grandma empty-handed." Xiao Liu said and squeezed his eyes at me, "I can't see that your kid is quite good at being courteous." I said with a laugh.
There are only two people in Meizi's box, Meizi and her partner, and the top bunk is full of large bags. "Come in and sit, this is my sister Xiaohong, this is Brother Peng, Xiaohong saw Xiao Liu last night, it was they who stepped forward in Chita to scare away the old Maozi who grabbed things." Meizi was very excited to see us, "Hey, I also brought a gift, the little kid is really sensible, I know that I like to eat Mei." "After speaking, Mei Zi snatched the words Mei from Xiao Liu's hand." Brother Peng, Xiao Liu, please take a seat, I'll make tea for you. Xiaohong and Meizi are the same age, wearing a pair of glasses, and they look quiet and quiet, "You have brought so many goods, the real international grandmother, I admire you so much." I looked at their box full of goods, and said from the bottom of my heart, Meizi smiled at me: "Brother Peng has won the award, we are not like the fat brother Lao Chen, they want to sell the goods as much as possible on the road, and now Russia is slowly coming in a lot of Chinese masters, this year's sales in the international column are not as hot as before, so they don't dare to bring too many goods, we are not afraid, wait until we get to Moscow and then sell slowly, only the school holidays can return to China, only run twice a year, so bring more, earn more is a point, Just now I also sold some leather jackets in Irkutsk, and there was an old man who asked for a lot but didn't sell them at a lower price, and the price could be higher if he left it in Moscow. "Brother Chen told the story of them being robbed on the 3/4 international train just now, it's really terrifying, Meizi, haven't you encountered a robbery on that international train before?" Xiao Liu asked, "I've heard about the robbery of the international train, but we only run twice a year, and we haven't encountered a robbery, but we have encountered petty theft." Once I bought four bunks in the entire box by myself, brought a lot of goods, after passing Irkutsk, I went to the next compartment to find a friend, locked the compartment door, and specially asked the four Chinese sent to Russia by the four men in the next compartment to help take care of it for a while, and when I returned to my own compartment from the next compartment, I found that there were two large bags missing, I asked the Chinese next door, they said that a few Russians came over just now to sell crafts, and they didn't pay attention to my box just by looking at crafts in their own box, It must have been these Russians, who first diverted their attention, and then opened my box with the key that had been allocated a long time ago, and took away two bags of goods, both of which were leather jackets, worth more than 3,000 dollars. I had to look for it, and before I got to the next stop, they couldn't get off the car, and they must be on the bus, so I ran to the two Russian cars, and when I saw the box door, I opened it directly, startling the Russians in those boxes, and I searched all over the two compartments and didn't find the group of people described by the Chinese in the next box. Walked to the last carriage, found that it was a Russian dining car, I opened the door and entered the dining car, and saw a table with four Russian men, very similar to the group described in the box next door, there seemed to be something under their table, but the tablecloth covered it and couldn't see clearly, I went over to lift the tablecloth, and found a big bag, I lifted the tablecloth next to the table, and it was a big bag, these two bags were what I lost, I was angry, slapped the table, and shouted at them: You thieves. Maybe they were suppressed by my momentum, and no one dared to make a sound, one of them hurriedly waved at me, he meant that you take the things away and don't scream, I took a lot of effort to drag the two bags back to my box, and I never dared to buy the whole box by myself from then on. "Meizi, the heroine of the female middle school!" Xiao Liu and I gave a thumbs up to the plum. "In Russia, women come first, and men give way to women, so they are suppressed by me, and if I am a man, I will fight." Meizi laughed, "There are still many advantages for women in Russia, but in 3/4 times on the international list of China's fallen masters, but there is no lady priority, some stations have a short parking time, too late to get off the car to sell goods, so you can only open the window to sell goods, there are many people, the window is small, I can't squeeze a girl at all, and some bully me when they see that I am a woman, they tell me: little sister, don't squeeze, you can only sell it when we sell it first, just that moment of effort, where can it be my turn, I am in a hurry, I opened a box of big bubble gum that I brought with me, and all the Russians came to me at once, and I sold more than the men at the window. Plum said proudly as she took out two pieces of big bubble gum from her bag and handed them to us, "Hehe, this big bubble gum has become Meizi's secret weapon, so you can take it with you everywhere." Xiaohong smiled and said, "But this big bubble gum really works, we use it to solve a lot of problems, and we use big bubble gum to bribe the dormitory manager and librarian when we go to school." "Can you soak Russian beauties with a big deal?" Xiao Liu squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Stingy ghost, you want to soak Russian beauties with big bubble gum?" Dream on, it's chocolate and roses. Meizi and Xiaohong laughed.
