ps: Thank you for the latest news from book friends Zhonghua Raul, 73233-83, sltt third battalion commander, and Dongfeng cooper for their rewards.

The river in this section is not wide, so the ferry didn't take long, and it landed on the north bank of Heilongjiang. Fang Mingyuan and his party had officially entered the border of the Soviet Union.

Under the leadership of Luo Jin, Fang Mingyuan and his party did not suffer from the difficulties of the Soviet customs officers as Fang Mingyuan thought before, but entered the city smoothly all the way.And when they came out, those who were on the same boat as them were still undergoing cumbersome inspections at the customs.It is amazing how different people are.

When you leave the gate of the customs building, you will be faced with a spacious road leading straight to the north, two-way four-lane, and Russian-style buildings of different heights on both sides of the road. It can be seen that many buildings inside have been built for a long time. Years and months, obviously very old and vicissitudes.The city is very clean, but for some reason, Fang Mingyuan always feels that this place seems a bit lifeless and less vibrant than the ones in China.

Luo Jin jumped out of his car and squeezed onto Fang Mingyuan's off-road vehicle. "There are a lot of people who know Chinese here, so no matter what you see here, don't comment loudly at will. Otherwise, you may cause trouble. Although we are not afraid of old men, we can't be serious with them, right?" Fang Mingyuan and Wu Wei nodded, living in a foreign country, this common sense is still known, a strong dragon can't beat a snake, and a good man can't beat six hands, no matter how strong a person is, they can't hold back the opponent.

Fang Mingyuan noticed that not far from the customs, there was a bright and spacious shop with models in furs in the window, but no customers came in or out.

Luo Jin noticed Fang Mingyuan's gaze, and said with a smile: "It's the Soviet version of the Friendship Store, just like our country, it's only open to foreigners, not ordinary Soviets, unless they have hard currency, such as dollars, pounds, etc. Yes. Do you two want to go in and have a look?" Naturally, when they came to the Soviet Union, they wanted to open their eyes and see the scenery of the Soviet Union. With Luo Jin's proposal, Fang Mingyuan and the others naturally let it take its course.

"How is the quality of Lao Maozi's fur coat here? Are there any fakes?" Wu Wei asked Luo Jin in a low voice.

Luo Jin laughed and said: "Don't worry, there are very few fakes in Lao Maozi's products, and there will be no fakes in this kind of store. They are all sold to foreigners. If there are quality problems, That's not an ordinary thing, and the old man has the same headache. So if you fancy something, you can buy it with confidence. But I want to remind you that there are all kinds of high-end products in this store, such as fur coats and caviar Wait. It’s all priced in rubles, and the price is unbelievably low. A fur coat, for example, might cost a thousand rubles.”

"A thousand rubles?" Wu Wei exclaimed. According to the ratio of 100:[-], [-]:[-], it is more than [-] U.S. dollars, and if it is converted into RMB, it is only about [-] yuan.A Soviet fur coat is only worth about one thousand yuan, which is simply too cheap!If you buy him a thousand or eight hundred pieces and ship them back to China, the profit will be at least seven or eight times as soon as you change hands.

"Well, one thousand rubles. But you can't buy it with rubles that are exchanged outside the store. You can only buy it in the store with foreign currencies such as dollars, yen, and pounds, and you can't use foreign currencies directly. This is called in the Soviet Union Only rubles are allowed to be used in the territory, and foreign currencies are not allowed to be used, which is a major matter related to the dignity of the country." Luo Jin continued with a half-smile.

"Well, is this exchange rate the official exchange rate?" Fang Mingyuan had already guessed the result.Lao Maozi is not a fool, of course, it is impossible to sell things so cheaply.

"Yes, [-] rubles to one dollar!" Rozin nodded.Wuwei immediately lost his interest in flipping. If so, the price would not be cheap.

"So, come here to buy things, don't be fooled by their prices." As they spoke, a group of people had already entered the store. The store was very large, and there were two female shop assistants in it, both of whom seemed to be around 23 or 20 years old. In terms of age, Russian girls are more mature than girls of the same age in China. Girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old are already close to [-] years old in our eyes.However, the two clerks are both brown-haired and blue-eyed, with white and bright skin, clean and pure, and their facial features are quite distinct.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan and the others coming in, they immediately greeted them with smiles all over their faces.

"Dear foreign guests, you...are you Han?" Although the voice was not very pure, it was enough to surprise Fang Mingyuan and Wu Wei.You know, those dancers who claimed to have stayed in Huhe for a long time last night, when they spoke Chinese, it was like a chicken talking to a duck, and it was impossible to guess what they were talking about.But the surprise didn't last long, and the two discovered that the two clerks could only speak a few common words, and the slightly complicated ones couldn't make sense.

"We are considered foreigners now!" Fang Mingyuan laughed at himself. He looked at the store, and there were some special products of the Soviet Union, such as caviar, fur coats, Soviet matryoshka dolls, and some vodka.

"What a beautiful doll!" Lin Lian couldn't help shouting when she saw the dolls of all sizes on the counter.Wuwei's secretary also walked over with a look of surprise.

"Bring these out for us to see!" Fang Mingyuan pointed at the matryoshka dolls on the counter and said, it's rare that there are items that Lin Lian took the initiative to praise, so of course he has to take the initiative.

"These are wooden nesting dolls, usually the largest nesting doll that can be turned away from the middle, which contains several nesting dolls in sequence. The nesting dolls can have 5 layers, 7 layers, 10 layers or more. The appearance can be the same, or completely different. In the Soviet Union, this thing is also called a wishing doll." Luo Jin said aside.

"Matryoshka wishing?" Lin Lian asked strangely, "How does this thing make a wish?"

Luo Jin picked up a doll, which is a five-story doll, turned out the innermost one and said: "Just turn out the innermost and smallest doll, and then make a wish to it. But remember, make a wish." After fulfilling your wish, warn it that if your wish is not fulfilled, it will never see the light of day again. Then it will improve step by step. In this way, this little nesting doll will never see the outside world again. , will help you realize your wish.”

"Is this all right?" Lin Lian asked in disbelief. After making a wish, she still threatened it, which sounds really new.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. The designer of this theory obviously borrowed human's desire for light and fear of darkness and loneliness, and applied it to the matryoshka.

"Which one is the best matryoshka among you?" Since Lin Lian likes it, it doesn't hurt to buy it, now we are not short of money!

Immediately, the two clerks carried two boxes from under the counter with great joy. When they opened it, they turned out to be two sets of dolls in the shape of Marx and Lenin, which were exquisitely made.These are two sets of twelve-story matryoshka dolls, the most exquisite pair made here.At this moment, Luo Jin was also a little moved. Among the Soviet nesting dolls, the conventional nesting doll pattern is the most common, and there are also portraits of previous Soviet leaders, but those with the appearance of Marx and Lenin are quite rare, and this is still Twelve-story nesting dolls can be said to be more valuable.

"Only these two?" Lin Lian hesitated and asked.Two Soviet girls said a few words in Russian.

"This is the best handmade nesting doll they have here. It is a unique product. There is no other work like them." Luo Jin translated, "Maybe there are other cities in other cities."

"Buy it!" Fang Mingyuan made a final decision, "It just so happens that you and your sister are the same!" He knew that Lin Lian's hesitation was probably because she wanted to bring gifts to Zhao Ya and Feng Qian, something with Soviet characteristics. There are too many, and it is not necessary to buy the same for them.Besides, I will stay in the Soviet Union for a while, so there is still a chance to buy this kind of gift.

"Mingyuan..." Lin Lian wanted to speak again, but Fang Mingyuan pushed her into the fur coat placed in the shop.

The winter in the Soviet Union is long and cold, and fur fashion can be worn for as long as 6 or 7 months. The Soviet people have always had the habit of wearing fur and leather products.It is said that the Soviet Union consumes more than 1000 million pieces of fur every year, and has a huge consumer group of about 1 million. Therefore, in the eyes of the Soviets, fur clothing can not only show wealth, but also is a necessity in life.So some people later said that the purchase of fur clothing is the third largest demand of Russians after houses and cars.It is the world's largest fur consumer.Now that I have come to the Soviet Union, it is really unreasonable not to bring a few fur coats for the women at home.This task was naturally given to Lin Lian.

"Among the fur coats of the Soviet Union, the best is of course the sable coat. The sable is a unique animal that only lives in Russia's natural conditions, but this animal has been protected, and the market is not allowed to buy and sell sable fur casually. These large furs, Most of them are Karakuli lamb skins and fox skins from Central Asia." Luo Jin glanced at them and said casually, "But you can rest assured of the quality."

While speaking, the door of the store was pushed open again, and several young people with yellow skin came in under the leadership of a Soviet man.Two shop assistants immediately separated one to greet them.

"Since you've come to the Soviet Union, why don't you go back with a few bottles of vodka." Luo Jin pointed to the vodka behind the counter, "The vodka here is basically of the middle level in the Soviet Union. You can only buy them in places like Moscow."

Fang Mingyuan glanced at the neatly arranged wine bottles, and shook his head disinterestedly. He had never tasted this thing in his previous life, and he has no interest in this life either. "Boss Luo will pick a few bottles. I can't tell the difference between good and bad."

"Ask how much these two dolls are on the counter?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly heard someone speak in Japanese, and following the voice, it was a middle-aged man among the few people who came in just now.

The Soviet guy spoke a few words to the clerk in Russian, and the clerk looked embarrassed and pointed at Fang Mingyuan and the others.Obviously to tell them that things are already in their own right.The middle-aged man frowned, and a young man who followed him immediately came to Fang Mingyuan and the others and said in Chinese, "Three comrades, did you buy these two dolls on the counter?"

Luo Jin, who was talking about vodka with Wu Wei, turned his head, glanced at him and said, "We bought it!"

"Can you transfer it to us?" The young man pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "This is Mr. Fujita, a foreign businessman from Japan, and he has also taken a fancy to these two dolls. I can pay you [-]% more s price."

"I'm not interested." Luo Jin said without hesitation, "You always have to pay attention to first come, first served when buying things. We also buy things as souvenirs, not for reselling."

The young man didn't expect that Luo Jin would reject it so straightforwardly, he was taken aback for a moment and said: "Comrade, I am a staff member of the Huhe County Government. Mr. Fujita came to Huhe County to invest and build a factory. Friendly people, support the economic development of our country, several of them are also Chinese, how can this be..."

Luo Jin interrupted him with a sneer: "He invests his capital, and I buy my goods. What does this have to do with me? Is he my boss? Or my boss? A Japanese friend to China? Hehe, 50 years earlier, why can’t there be any people friendly to China? If you don’t sell it, you don’t sell it!”

The young man was already a little dissatisfied when he interrupted the conversation. After hearing his words, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, and his face immediately became gloomy.Without saying anything more, he turned his head and walked back.But it can be seen that he remembered Luo Jin.

"Hmph, what's the matter with the Japanese, I don't like the Japanese! Give it to him? Bah!" Luo Jin said angrily, "You two are laughing, I treat the Japanese I don't like it, it's always been like this." Fang Mingyuan and Wu Wei smiled indifferently, they had heard a lot about this kind of bullshit in China, and they never thought they would encounter it in the Soviet Union.

After listening to the young man's retelling, the Japanese looked very regretful and turned his attention to other things in the store.Bought two nesting dolls and left quickly.

Lin Lian chose two fur coats, and Luo Jin chose four bottles of vodka for Fang Mingyuan.Wu Wei bought three bottles of vodka, a fur coat and a matryoshka for his secretary.Wu Wei also wanted to buy some caviar, but was stopped by Luo Jin.

A group of people settled the bill and went out after being greeted by the smiles of the two female shop assistants. Luo Jin said with a smile: "The two girls probably remember you two this year. In such a relatively remote border area, Purchases like yours are definitely rare. This month, they must have a lot of bonuses. Okay, where shall we go next?"
