Chapter 10: King Crab and the Coming Window
After waiting in the ice and snow for a long time, an old bus appeared in front of Levi's eyes, and this cold waiting reminded Levi of the days when his family had not moved to Yuecheng in junior high school, and waited for the bus in the ice and snow every morning.
These memories made Levi even more determined to buy a car first.
The buses in Buenos Aires are just like his infrastructure, with old and broken cars and new energy vehicles, but there are still more old and broken cars.
There was a ticket-selling aunt on the bus, and after paying 22 rubles, the aunt handed Levi a red ticket stub.
Sitting on the bus, Levi carefully observed the people on the bus, except for a drunken middle-aged man in the last row, everyone else was quite kind.
Perhaps because of the border city, the people here didn't look at Levi's yellow face too much.
But one thing Levi found in the car was that the rate of smartphone usage in Russians was much lower than in China.
You must know that it is difficult to see non-smart phones in Huaxia, and on this bus, Li Wei saw several flip and straight mobile phones that were popular in Huaxia more than 10 years ago, which made Li Wei feel like he was back in junior high school.
Russian buses do not have the function of reporting stations, where the bus stops depends on the common name, fortunately with the help of Google Maps Li Wei has not taken the station.
One of the largest supermarkets in Buenos Aires is a supermarket called 'Flag-bearer', which is very separate from the city in that there is no sense of decay and depression in the vicinity of this huge supermarket, the streets are clean, and the main building of the supermarket is well maintained. The huge fluorescent-colored signboard is very conspicuous and can be seen as soon as you get off the bus.
When you enter the supermarket, this sense of separation is even stronger, and the goods inside are dazzling, and the flying flags on the ceiling of the supermarket are written in Chinese, activities, discounts and other words.
The dignity and magnanimity of this supermarket are no different from those of the large supermarkets in some of China's big cities, and it seems to have nothing to do with the dilapidated streets and old buses in the city center.
After entering the supermarket, Li Wei began to observe the prices of various products, and I have to say that compared with the small supermarket that Wang Qi took him to before, the goods here are much more complete, and some tropical fruits can even be seen here.
I recalled that day in that small supermarket, there were only a few basic kinds of vegetables and fruits, and the supermarket in front of me was very rich in vegetables and fruits, similar to the big supermarkets in China. So Levi took a closer look at the price.
The prices of locally produced produce are similar, but the prices of some imported fruits are surprisingly high.
A box of strawberries with only six berries costs 300 rubles, which is almost 30 soft girl coins, and a strawberry costs five yuan.
Some other imported fruits are similarly priced, and the prices are very high. Levi looked at the price and picked out two boxes of the freshest strawberries and put them in the shopping cart.
The price of some locally produced onions and potatoes is very cheap, but the price of those imported from China and other countries is high.
After picking out a few fresh vegetables and putting them in the shopping cart, Levi went to the meat section.
Locally produced beef is still very cheap, and there is no change in price due to changes in supermarkets.
However, the supermarket gives customers more choice, and some Australian imported beef is even two to three times more expensive than Russian beef.
After buying some more local beef and putting it in the shopping cart, Levi walked to the seafood section not far away.
The price in the seafood section shocked Li Wei even more, but this time the price was not too expensive, but too cheap.
Due to the Far East's proximity to the Arctic Ocean, which is an area that has not been heavily exploited by fisheries, the king crab brought from the sea, the lobster is not only of high quality, but also very affordable.
In Huaxia, there are thousands of king crabs at every turn, and a pound here is only 60 soft sister coins, and Li Wei naturally wants to get one.
Levi carefully selected a good one to put in the shopping cart.
This supermarket has really taken great pains to take care of its customers in China, and each shelf has a special Chinese label, which gives Li Wei a feeling of shopping in China.
Before he got home, Li Wei arranged a way to eat this seafood, half steamed, and half baked with minced garlic.
After buying a large piece of cheese and some raw garlic in the ingredients area, and some personal supplies. Levi was ready to go home, and before leaving, he didn't forget to post a price map of king crab in the circle of friends, with a line of small print (now king crab is free!). )
As soon as he got out of the supermarket, the originally sunny sky suddenly became cloudy, and the wind howled and instantly took away the heat on Levi's body.
Fortunately, there were taxis waiting in front of the supermarket, and after showing the driver the Google location of his uncle's house, Levi took a taxi and left the 'Flag Bearer' supermarket.
Since it was time to get off work, there were more cars on the road, and Levi couldn't talk to the driver because he didn't know Russian, so he had to look out the window and observe.
He took a closer look, and the cars on the street were mainly RB cars, which Li Wei had heard of a little when he was in China.
Unlike Huaxia, due to the underdevelopment of the local automobile industry, Russia has completely opened up the second-hand car import market, so RB's second-hand cars have entered the Russian market at a very low price, which further curbs the development of the local automobile industry.
So much so that 3,40 years ago, the streets of China were full of Soviet and Russian-made cars, but now there are basically no Russian-made cars on the streets of Russia.
After arriving at the place, Li Wei stumbled to ask the driver for a business card with Google Translate, although the price of the taxi is not cheap, but it is much better than bothering Wang Qi all the time.
The Russian driver was also very enthusiastic, helped Levi put a lot of things at the door, and said 'goodbye!' It made Levi's perception of the Russian people much better.
Back at home, Levi put the ingredients in the refrigerator and was very distressed by the immediate problem to be solved.
That's what to do with that piece of Rolex, if you go back to Huaxia, it will take a week to delay before and after, and Levi is now in urgent need of money, whether it is the construction of a vegetable greenhouse, or buying a car with or without tools is very urgent.
It is now close to March, and the agricultural production in the Amur region generally begins to prepare in April and May, although it is not ready to plant crops in a large area, but it is also a good choice to take care of a few workers, and a limited amount of planting is also a good choice, after all, where the land is idle, planting points will earn a little.
After thinking for a while, Li Wei called Zhang Runyu and told him about his current situation on the phone.
Zhang Runyu mentioned that if you are in a hurry, the professional you found a few days ago is a good choice. He talked to the professional again to see if there was room for negotiation in terms of price.
Hearing the arrangement of the dead party, Li Wei also slowly calmed down, not that Li Wei was too anxious, the main thing was that the window period for agriculture in Russia was too short, and the window period for the same building was also very short, and the construction of the greenhouse could only be carried out in warm weather.
