Chapter 24: Goodbye Tan Lin (1)

After shopping all morning, when I got back to the car, it was already noon, and Yao Jingjing felt that her legs were going to be thinner. Today, I bought a lot of things, not only to buy her, but also to buy Sergei a few ties and polo shirts, and let Sergei try them when she goes back to see if she likes it.

Natasha and two bodyguards put large and small bags of shopping bags in the trunk and returned to the car.

"Madam, it's noon, are we going back to the manor?" Natasha asked.

Yao Jingjing slumped on the backrest, closed her eyes, and said weakly: "I'm so tired!" I really want to eat hot pot. Natasha, where is Chinese hot pot in Moscow? ”

Natasha thought for a moment and said, "There is a Chinese market called Liubrino, and there should be Chinese hot pot in it." ”

Yao Jingjing opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "There is a Chinese market, great, let's go, let's go to this Liubrino." ”

Located outside the third ring road in the southwest of Moscow, Ljublino is one of the largest wholesale markets for clothes, shoes and hats in Europe, and is known as the "Yiwu Market" in Moscow. This is the place where Moscow first woke up, and every morning from 5:30 to 10 a.m., large trucks transported Chinese clothing, shoes and socks, and accessories to all parts of Russia. There are more than 8,000 stalls in the Ljubrino market, more than half of which are run by Chinese businessmen. Nearly 40,000 Chinese live here, about one-third of the more than 100,000 Chinese in Moscow. Piles of clothes are placed along the street, Mandarin is heard in the ears from time to time, and all kinds of Chinese and foreign tourists shopping with large bags rubbing shoulders, Liubrino is a place where Chinese merchants gather, a place where opportunities and risks coexist, and a paradise for adventurers.

Shuttling between the small shops, watching the yellow people coming and going, and the friendly Chinese words echoing in her ears, Yao Jingjing felt as if she was not in Russia, but in a wholesale market in China.

At this moment, a loud male voice sounded in front of him.

"Is your surname Yao?"

Yao Jingjing retracted her thoughts, followed the sound and looked, a middle-aged man not far in front of him was looking at him seriously, staring at the slightly blessed face of the person, Yao Jingjing suddenly felt both familiar and unfamiliar, as if she had seen him somewhere, and as if she had never seen him.

I saw the man take a few steps closer, looked Yao Jingjing up and down, and said excitedly: "Your surname is Yao, right?" I remember that it seems to be surnamed Yao. You came to Russia for a tour, and you haven't been back yet? ”

This question instantly evoked Yao Jingjing's memories, and she remembered that the man in front of her was the person she met on the plane last time she traveled to Russia with a group.

"It's you! Hehe, I didn't expect the two of us to meet. Although she only has a one-sided relationship with this man, she knows each other anyway, and when she meets her fellow countrymen in a foreign country, Yao Jingjing feels very cordial, and the joy in her heart is beyond words.

"Hahaha, who says it's not, this world is so small! Well, though, I remember that you are here for tourism, why are you still in Russia? While talking about the man, he noticed Natasha and the two black-clothed bodyguards behind Yao Jingjing, and suddenly felt bad.

"Well, this, alas, is a long story." Yao Jingjing's face was embarrassed, she was naturally happy to see her fellow countryman, but she didn't want to tell her about the situation, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

Seeing that Yao Jingjing seemed to be in trouble, the man didn't ask more questions in a witty way, and changed the subject: "I remember your surname is Yao, but I forgot what your name is." ”

"My name is Yao Jingjing, I'm sorry, I don't remember what your name is."

"My name is Tan Lin, you are younger than me, just call me Brother Tan."

"Hehe, okay, Brother Tan."

"You're here to shop today? Look at your famous brand, the things here are basically from our Yiwu, and they don't match you! ”

"Well, I suddenly want to eat our Chinese hot pot, I heard that this is the Chinese market, I think there must be a hot pot restaurant, so I came."

"You've come to the right place. There are several hot pot restaurants here. There's one that's particularly delicious, so I'll treat you to it. ”

"Then what's so embarrassing, I'll invite you."

"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you." It can be seen that Yao Jingjing is worth a lot of money, Tan Lin is not obsessed with entertaining, he is full of curiosity about the woman in front of him who has only met once, obviously he came to Russia for tourism two months ago, why hasn't he returned to China yet, what are he still doing in Russia, and there are two strong men by his side, the more he looks at it, the more strange he feels.

Tan Lin led Yao Jingjing and his party to the most prestigious hot pot restaurant in the market, and the two sat at a table by the window, while Natasha and the two bodyguards sat not far away. Tan Lin asked for a mandarin duck pot, ordered a lot of mutton rolls, a platter of green vegetable balls, shrimp slippery, two bottles of beer, and so on.

It's been a long time since I've eaten hot pot, so when I put the boiled mutton shabu into the dish and flip it over, and then put it in my mouth, the delicious taste instantly spreads to the whole mouth. Yao Jingjing seemed to have tasted a delicious food, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"That's what it smells like! That's the smell! ”

Seeing Yao Jingjing's obsessive expression, Tan Lin smiled: "You don't seem to have eaten hot pot for a long time." ”

"Not really! I miss this so much! ”

"This hot pot is Chongqing hot pot, which is very authentic."

"Well, yes, I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic Chongqing hot pot in Russia." As she spoke, Yao Jingjing put a piece of mutton shabu shabu dipped in sauce in her mouth, looking satisfied.

Tan Lin stared at Yao Jingjing, hesitated for a moment, and still asked the question in his heart.

"Why didn't you go back home?"

Yao Jingjing was stunned, and the chopsticks that were about to hold the meat stopped instantly.

Seeing Yao Jingjing's embarrassment, Tan Lin asked, "Is there anything you can't say?" ”

Yao Jingjing sighed secretly and slowly put down her chopsticks. She knows that she will often be asked this kind of question, she can't escape, and it is impossible to cover it up, don't deceive yourself, it's better to seek truth from facts.
