Listening to what Manager Larimov meant, he didn't know anything about it, and he didn't care at all.

"If that's the case, why are you sending us business certificates?" Yao Qiming asked.

Larimov spread his hands and said: "Sending you a business certificate is also an order from your superiors!" ”

"What do you mean by superior?" Yao Qiming asked.

"It could be the city, it could be the region." Larimov replied.

What is this answer, Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming were both dumbfounded.

"And what is the purpose of your coming to us today?" Yao Qiming asked.

"You are Chinese guests from afar, friends, and comrades! On behalf of the fish company, I would like to extend a warm welcome and comradely respect to you! Larimov said.

His face lit up, and he stretched out his arms as if he were about to hug two people across the wide desk.

"In order to express our welcome to you, I invited the two comrades to a light meal at noon today on behalf of the company." Larimov said.

Counting Adelov, the four of them arrived at a restaurant named Ania on Svetlana Street.

Order a vegetable salad, a roast beef patty, a vegetable soup that cannot be missing, and Russian dumplings.

Everyone sitting at the table had a smile on their faces, but Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming's faces were a little bitter. Bartering, Ou Xiaoyang has already transported the bean cake to this country, and it stands to reason that the cod should be transported to Fenhe City immediately, but when he came here today, he found that things were far from so simple.

Simple things become complicated, and this is the ability that only humans on this earth can have.

Wang Weidong turned his head to Yao Qiming and said, "Teacher Yao, why don't you have any wine?" ”

"Didn't we already know when we were studying, that there is a strict ban on alcohol?" Yao Qiming said to Wang Weidong in surprise.

"You have to listen to my leadership in this operation! I'll let you ask, and you'll ask for me! Wang Weidong said resolutely.

Yao Qiming had no way to ask this question that he already knew.

Sure enough, hearing Yao Qiming's question, Larimov immediately shook his head and said, "We are seriously solving this serious problem!" Since the implementation of this policy, the work efficiency has been greatly improved, and the number of late arrivals of fish companies has been reduced by 50%, and the results have been very good! ”

After Yao Qiming translated Larimov's words to Wang Weidong, Wang Weidong said: "You ask him again, I am a person who is addicted to alcohol, I haven't drunk for two or three days, my body is a little unwell, ask them if they can get me a bottle of wine?" ”

"Weidong, what are you going to do? You're making a mistake, don't you know? Yao Qiming said.

"There's no way, or we'll end up empty-handed. You ask now! Wang Weidong said.

Yao Qiming looked at Wang Weidong for a long time without moving his gaze, and Wang Weidong looked at him without flinching.

"Teacher Yao, you have to ask!" Wang Weidong said in an accentuated tone.

Larimov and Adelov also noticed the anomaly, and the two of them stared at Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming.

Yao Qiming slowly turned his head and said a few words of Russian to the two of them. Wang Weidong was very cooperative, and he made a very uncomfortable appearance next to him.

After listening to Yao Qiming's words, Larimov stared at Wang Weidong seriously, and his eyes seemed to pierce Wang Weidong's heart. Wang Weidong looked at him and smiled.

Larimov's face slowly began to melt and the ice melted into a big smile, and his body was shaking with a smile. Adelov laughed along.

In China in the 80s, it was difficult to see people with double chins, and here such people abound, both Larimov and Adelov had double chins, and both chins shook together with laughter.

Larimov whispered a few words to Adelov, who left the table and walked to the restaurant desk. After a while he returned with a bottle of vodka.

Larimov raised a finger to Wang Weidong very seriously, meaning that he could only drink one bottle.

Wang Weidong said to Yao Qiming: "Tell the two of them that it is very rude not to drink with guests in China. ”

"Weidong, you're making a serious mistake!" Yao Qiming said.

"The big deal is to return to China, if we can't do something, we will also return to China and return empty-handed!" Wang Weidong said.

He drank the juice from his glass, opened the bottle and poured about two taels into his own glass, the 700-milliliter bottle of vodka was larger than the Chinese bottle.

Hearing Yao Qiming's relay, Larimov and Adlov laughed again, and they also drank the juice in the cup like Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong poured a little bit into Yao Qiming's cup, and poured the rest into Larimov's and Adelov's cups.

Wang Weidong picked up his glass and said, "Cheers to friendship!" Ulla! ”

The other three raised their glasses, and Larimov and Adelov said Ula at the same time!

A bottle of vodka with more than forty degrees is nothing for four people to drink, but it acts as a lubricant, and the atmosphere is immediately much better, and Larimov is no longer businesslike, talking and laughing.

As he walked out of the restaurant, Larimov put his arm around Wang Weidong's shoulders, and although Wang Weidong did not speak Russian, he found the Chinese comrade more interesting and sociable.

Larimov asked Adelov to send the Chinese guests back to the club, and when they said goodbye, Larimov and Wang Weidong hugged tightly.

Back in the room where the club lived, Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside, the street outside the window was very old, and most of the buildings on both sides of the street were more than seventy or eighty years old.

"Weidong, today it was not only you who made a mistake, but you also made two foreign comrades make a mistake. Adelov told me that now a bottle of vodka costs twenty-five rubles, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the average salary of a person here! Yao Qiming said.

Even if it is so expensive, it may not be possible to buy it yet, so you have to buy it quietly.

"The two of them can say that there is no way to go back today, why don't you accompany the guests from China to drink, who let the Chinese guests who come here be drunkards? And we didn't drink much, and it took four people to drink a bottle of liquor. Wang Weidong said.

"You are, you are knowingly!" Yao Qiming said.

Wang Weidong stopped talking, and he looked out the window at a few workers working on the side of the road. A few workers seem to be repairing a house on the side of the street, a cement mixer keeps rotating, and then pours the cement mortar into a trolley and pulls it into the building on the side of the street.

A few workers worked slowly, stopping from time to time to smoke and rest.

Wang Weidong saw a worker press a button, the mixer stopped rotating, and several workers put the tools in place and then packed up their personal things and left.

He looked at his watch, it was now four o'clock in the afternoon Chinese time, and it was almost time to get off work here.

Wang Weidong watched for another half an hour, but the workers did not come back.

"Why are these workers leaving like this, the cement mortar in the mixer has not been poured out, will it have solidified when they come back tomorrow morning?" Wang Weidong asked curiously.

Yao Qiming also kept looking out the window, and he also woke up when he heard Wang Weidong say this.

"yes, how can this be?" Yao Qiming muttered.
