Volume 2 Time Chapter 07 Mood
Soviet Russia is a strange country, nearly 70% of its land area occupies Asia, but it is a country in Europe, because the capital Red Square is in Europe. It is also a multi-ethnic country, each of which has a traditional culture and a unique national 'spirit', which has created their wild and uninhibited, independent national style and unique national charm that seems to be scattered but is united to the outside world. In Pepper's opinion, they simply don't deserve such beautiful land.
On the road, whether it is pedestrians or cars, it is just like their people, rough and informal. They cross the road in their mood, and this way of crossing the road will frighten the newcomers to Dahua...
If an armored car or tank suddenly rushes out of the intersection while driving, don't panic, it's not a fight. You only need to look closely, and from the angle of driving, you can probably tell whether the unruly soldier brother came out of the bar or was on his way to the bar...
There are also some very dangerous things that must be reminded, do not collide or scratch with the other party's car, because you can't guess at all, the other party's car will get a few red faces... Man with a gun. Even if you have a woman, they can help you re-sheet the hood of your car into a post-modern industrial style. If you don't have half a bottle of high-strength vodka, don't get too entangled with the party. Win, maybe she can accompany you to sing on the banks of the Volga; If you lose, someone will accompany you to sing, but you will become a group of men.
Don't think that if you drink with them twice, you will become close brothers, no, they only know wine, and you are just the one who drinks with them. Their enthusiasm for drinking can melt a foot-thick glacier in the North Pole, and if you refuse their enthusiasm... Let's put it this way, the dozen or so brothers who were allied with them before were beaten by them and couldn't take care of themselves.
On a street on the outskirts of Red Square, Pepper is being pointed in the forehead by two blonde beauties. He looked at them grinning, as if they had a red-hot piece of iron in their mouths, their tongues curled up and trembled, and the frequency could be synchronized with the syllables they uttered, and he was so angry that he wanted to pull out the iron in their mouths for them several times...
"Gotta ~ Fall Steness..."
No matter how Pepper explains, the two blonde beauties just won't let him go. In the end, he tilted his head and pulled out a few 500 bills from his pocket and handed them over. Belle... is not as knowledgeable as men, that will make them appear superficial. They turned around enthusiastically, then turned back and kissed and raised their eyebrows. Pepper is very depressed, it's a goddamn weird country...
He wanted to get out of here at the moment, and he couldn't stay for a day. Since entering the city, there have been so many moths in less than a day, rented a car, and it was not long before I started on the road, and I was almost hit by an armored car when I crossed the T-junction; In order to avoid it, there was a scrape with a white oncoming car, and five soldiers got out of the opposing car, and they kindly removed the hood of his car and took it away; When crossing the traffic light, he was pointed at his nose and sprayed saliva by an old man with a red face; Closer to Red Square, looking forward to an increase in civilization, but was blackmailed by two women carrying wine bottles and dressed up in flowers, he didn't want to make a fuss.
'If this is placed in South Vietnam, I can use my hand-thunder to let you go to the moon for nine days!' Pepper thought viciously.
He needed to 'call for help', drove a few blocks, passed a clothing store owned by a Chinese, parked the car, entered the store, and the owner greeted him with open arms:
"Great Chinese? Ah... Welcome, welcome, welcome..."
"Hey~" Pepper couldn't stop it, and was hugged by the other party.
"Hahahaha... Great, so happy to meet you man! Pepper was hugged by the other party.
He was not accustomed to this way of greeting, and he broke free from the restraints with all his might, and said with a smile:
"I'll come... I'm looking for your help..."
"Eh, come, sit down and say..."The shopkeeper took out a high stool and put it in front of Pepper: "My name is Zha Aihua, from Liao Province, what about you?" ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, pepper, Yunnan!" Pepper stretched out his hand and shook hands with Cha Aihua.
"Hahaha, good place, the name brother is festive, well, chic!"
"Haha... Brother Cha smiled! Pepper scratched her scalp unnaturally, and found that there was still a flower cloth around her head: "How is the humanity of this country different from what the book says?" Pepper removed her turban and threw it aside.
"Hahaha, brother, are you a student? That's right, how can the things in the books be too serious, didn't our ancestors have a saying, it's better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles! Look at you..."Zha Aihua explained heartily.
"Yes, yes, I was negligent, how long has Brother Cha been here?" Pepper asked.
"It's been a long time..."Zha Aihua: "What trouble have you encountered?" ”
Pepper told all the troubles that had happened today, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It's good to get used to it, you'll get used to it, by the way, brother is here?"
"Stay for two days, do a few things and leave!" Pepper said cheerfully.
"Oh, stay a few more days, I'll accompany you for a good walk..."Zha Aihua invited.
"Brother Cha, is this a new store?" Pepper asked, glancing around.
"Alas, there is no way, the more I live, the more I go back..."Zha Aihua said in a low voice.
"Brother Cha's words are not authentic, I can support such a big stall here, I can't handle it if I don't have the ability." Pepper praise.
"Hehehe, my brother laughed... Let's go, I'll show you around now! Cha Aihua took Pepper's hand and dragged it out, turned his head and shouted at the store:
"Eva! Honey, I'm going out..."
Pepper was pulled out of the door, and on the side of the road, Zha Aihua saw the broken car leaking out of the engine assembly and smiled:
"I'll take you back this broken car first, you will be pitted by these Lai Xiongs again!" Zha Aihua got into the driver's seat as he spoke, stretched out his head to the pepper on the edge of the flute and said, "Get in the car!" ”
People are sophisticated, and they are common all over the world. Let's just say that simple gifts, people you don't know, who dare to ask you for the gifts you need, how to follow up amicably without receiving gifts. Therefore, this is a science, it doesn't matter if you are unfamiliar, you can find someone who is familiar with it. This is a true legend of pepper.
Pepper watched Zha Aihua help bargain and deliver the car, and had a good impression of him, and decided to invite Zha Aihua to dinner and return the favor:
"Brother Cha, I'm really bothering you... It's getting late, let's go have something to eat, you can decide the location! ”
"How can I do this... You are a guest, how can you please it, say it to make people laugh, come with me! Zha Aihua led him in a taxi, and introduced the 'precautions' and different cultural clashes here along the way.
Pepper sighed all the way, and her heart beat all the way. They got out of the car in front of a restaurant, got in and sat down...
Cha Aihua introduced the large plate that had just been served to Pepper:
"My second uncle's younger brother opened it, the northern taste, can you get used to it?"
"Ha, I just like the smell!" Pepper looked at the steaming beef stew on a large plate, picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"Have a drink with me?" Zha Aihua asked with an empty cup.
"Come on!" Pepper poured the cup to the brim, lowered her head, raised her hands to the eyebrows, slowly lowered her chest, and finally landed on her right waist, and poured it on the ground, spreading a semicircle evenly.
Zha Aihua looked at Pepper silently, and also made a toast.
"Brother, respect you!" Zha Aihua raised his glass with both hands.
"I respect Brother Cha!" Pepper down.
After two decades of drinking, the temperature between the two sides gradually rose, and it was no longer a topic of private affairs. Either wine can quickly shorten the distance between strangers and strangers, wine culture, one of the important inheritances of Dahua culture, is also one of the important means of communication for Dahua ancestors to integrate into interpersonal relationships, also known as table culture. A philosopher once said that nothing can be done with one bottle of liquor, and if there is, two bottles!
"Brother Cha, do you have something sad?" Pepper asked.
"Brother, why do you ask?" Zha Aihua asked.
"Can you talk?" Pepper asked, staring at his face.
"Well, this, I don't know where to start..."Zha Aihua poured the wine from his cup into his mouth, and he didn't understand how the pepper could be seen.
"Tell me why you're here?" Pepper fill two cups.
"Well, this is a bit long..."Zha Aihua smiled bitterly: "Brother's first glass of wine... Who is it for? ”
"To my late grandfather!" Pepper said respectfully.
"Good!" Zha Aihua gave a thumbs up, shook his head, and said with difficulty:
"When I first arrived, there was chaos here, and there was nothing but guns..."
"As for me, I followed the two uncles and the second uncle, and I was really stunned when I saw them..."
Zha Aihua thought for a while and said: "At that time, their brothers had just finished dividing the family for a few years, the order was not stable, and the food supply was not sufficient, especially the light industry, which was extremely poor.
Pepper took the cigarette handed by Cha Aihua, waved his hand to refuse the lighter, and watched him light it alone. White smoke filled the two of them, like a thin veil of flirtatiousness, and the expressions of the two men were not very clear.
“... After deciding, the second uncle went back to find a channel first, and found a clothing supplier from South China through a relationship, and they promised to supply, and they only needed to pay a deposit, and the next delivery would pay off the last payment..."
"The clothes, shoes and hats we transported from within the empire were very popular and quickly opened up the market... In the second year, the turnover was tens of millions of Chinese dollars! Zha Aihua waved his finger with a cigarette to draw circles: "The entire clothing industry in Red Square, including a small part of the Soviet and Russian market share... It's all our house! ”
"In another year, we became the largest wholesaler of clothing in the whole of Soviet Russia, with headquarters in St. Fort..."
"Alas..."Zha Aihua poured a cup and sighed: "Who would have thought that the second uncle was put in a row by the dog basket of the Southern Garment Association in China, and at the threshold where the supply was most needed, the price doubled and the delivery was delayed... If these Maozi can't pick up the goods, they will definitely not do it, and some of them are still Maozi's military uniforms..."
Pepper slowly lit a cigarette, choked and coughed violently, he waved his hand to show that he was fine, and motioned to Zha Aihua to continue:
"The second uncle had no choice but to rush to Nanyue Province to find a new supplier... Which is so easy! Several of their provincial chambers of commerce are colluding..."Zha Aihua vigorously snuffed out the cigarette butt, and the two fingers that burned were slightly black.
"No one can save this field... The only way is to supply, but domestic... I have no choice but to come back and want to find the signatory of the contract through compensation, but it is a big deal to compensate for a huge amount of money, as long as I don't lose the market, there will always be a chance! ”
"The first few big buyers were good to talk to, and gave them three times the deposit to compensate for the matter, and the second uncle finally found the Quartermaster Department of the Soviet Russian Army, the adjutant in charge of the Holy Fort, Ivankov, that old boy usually calls us brothers! often takes us to the army to drive tanks to play, and I can't wait to kneel down and worship the second uncle as brothers... Who knows, the second uncle was actually given by a brute who turned his face and didn't recognize people... To give... Shot..."Cha Aihua trembled and burst into tears:
"The two uncles were so angry that they spent money to buy off their army quartermaster's office, Proyev, the chief of material procurement of the Holy Fort, and after he collected the money, he failed to get rid of Ivankov, but was moved down by Ivankov... When this old boy found out about this, he led his troops to burn down our headquarters and almost killed my two uncles... In the end, we really can't help it, we want to escape back to Dahua..."
"When I was about to reach the border, I was arrested by the Soviet Russian customs and my two uncles, last year, I went to visit them, and my uncle told me to stop worrying, survive with peace of mind, and don't go back to China..."
"But how can I put it down! Brothers! You say, can I just leave it alone? In my heart..."Zha Aihua hammered his chest, gritted his teeth and pointed to the window and cursed: "These brutes! ”
"Is that Ivankov still there now? What about that chamber of commerce in China? Pepper asked as a distraction.
"Hmm... Ivankov is retired, and he should still be in the Holy Castle, the one in China..."Zha Aihua wiped his tears, thought for a while and said: "What is it called Far East Trade, and later I heard that it is under the Tanigawa Group... None of the good stuff..."
"I see, let's drink," Pepper toasted.
