hunting in 1986

Chapter 226 Chapter 225 Northland, Mokhoz, a pair of porcelain vases

The scenery in spring is really beautiful, especially after taking off the thick cotton coat that I wore all winter, I feel light all over.

There are a lot of land, and most people don't like wild vegetables, so there are patches of wild vegetables in the wild that no one picks.

"Xiaoyan, come quickly, don't pick it over there, the wild vegetables over there have been eaten by sheep, come here and pick the wild vegetables here are big and good."

"I'm coming."

Li Yan dug up a dandelion with a small shovel, shook the soil from the grass roots, and put it into a basket. Xiaotingzi, dressed in flowered clothes, was ignorant, and stood beside her clapping her hands stupidly.

"Yeeeeeeeeee~"

"Let's go girl, let's go over there to pick."

The three dogs ran in the field like lying, and some gutters nearly two meters wide appeared in front of them, and the dogs jumped over them with a light jump.

Chasing and playing, very lively, and after a while Li Yan picked a basket of wild vegetables and found that the dogs could not be seen.

"Big wolf!!"

In an instant, Li Yan panicked. If the three dogs got lost, how would she explain to Wang Yuan? A living person can't even watch the three dogs?

"Big wolf! Two wolves! Where have you idiots gone, come back quickly, we are going home!!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of dust in the distance on the right, and the three dogs ran back slowly, with their ears pursed, and ran recklessly, until they reached Li Yan and the big wolf put down a wild rabbit.

"Aooooooow~"

Big Wolf held his head high and waited for praise, but unfortunately Li Yan slapped his head hard twice, and wanted to kick him twice in anger:
"You know how to run around, and if you are caught, you won't be turned into a dog meat hot pot. Watch me go back and find a rope to tie you up, and starve you for three days!"

Big Wolf was stunned, if Wang Yuan was here, he would definitely praise Gouzi.

The big wolf squatted beside him pitifully. He didn't know that Li Yan blamed them for running around, but he thought he hated them for hunting.

"Haw~"

The wild rabbit on the ground had dog teeth marks on its body, and the red blood stained the white fur. Seeing that it was impossible to survive, Aunt Yue said enviously:
"Xiaoyan, don't scold the dog, my god, this dog is too good, this time it will work, and there is also rabbit meat."

After Li Yan returned home with a small pavilion in her arms and a basket full of wild vegetables, Wang Yuan's mother quickly came to find her.

"Has Xiaoyan cooked? Let's go to the yard to have dinner together. Xiaoyuan is not at home, pulling the child alone and cooking with firewood. It's so troublesome."

"No, I'm not going."

Wang Yuan was washing vegetables in the basin, and he took a tender look at the small pavilion squatting beside him, muttering about catching ants.

Although she can eat ready-made ones at Wang Yuan's mother's yard, she doesn't feel so comfortable. Although cooking by herself is a bit hard, she can eat whatever she wants.

"You child, you are all a family, so what does it matter if you eat once or twice? Where did this wild rabbit come from? Big wolf and the others caught it?"

"Yeah, they are amazing. They can catch a big fat rabbit as soon as they catch it."

The mother teased Xiaotingzi, and then said something, hinting that Li Yan had a son, and finally decided that Li Yan would not go to eat, so she left.

After a while, my mother hurried over again and brought Li Yan a bowl of meat dumplings:
"It's quite cold this spring. Put on more clothes for the little girl. It's not easy to spend money and suffer when you catch a cold. Children with weak bones are most likely to catch a cold."

"I see."

After her mother left, Li Yan looked at the sunshine outside the window after eating. A group of sparrows were flying around, and the branches were dangling.

"Yeah~ Mama~"

"Are you hungry too? Hey, I don't know what happened to your out-of-the-ordinary father. It's already this o'clock. Have you eaten yet? Come here, don't mess around, I'll give you something to eat."

……

at the same time.

Moscow.

Yevgeny took people to Turkey and was not in Russia, so Wang Yuan and the others waited for him for a few days after they arrived here.

This morning.

A cold wind blew through the overcast sky that seemed to be about to rain.

wow~
Wang Yuan, who was wearing short sleeves, closed the window on the third floor, and the cold wind was instantly blocked out. Pedestrians were hurrying on the street, and bicycles were rattling, and the whole street was extraordinarily oppressive when it was chaotic.

Although it announced its disintegration at the end of last year, such a huge country has too many competitions for various rights and interests, etc., and it will not be possible to straighten everything out so quickly.

Even some regional officials, police agencies, etc. are in a state of suspension, which has caused many thieves, gangsters, etc. to see the opportunity and commit crimes one after another.

Such a chaotic state will continue for quite a long time.

"Yevgeny's flat stomach hasn't come back yet, I made me wait for him for so long."

Wang Yuan took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then sat down on the sofa next to him. There were a lot of Russian newspapers scattered on the low table next to him, with all kinds of remarks.

The small three-story masonry building at No. 26 Hako Street in the southwestern part of Moscow where he is now was bought last year with five cotton coats and two bags of flour.

The end of 1991 was terrible. The rapid depreciation of the ruble was terrible for ordinary citizens. A month ago, a piece of black bread might cost 5 rubles, but now it costs 50 rubles. After a while, it may cost even more many……

While Wang Yuan was thinking about his next plan.

Sudden.

There were shouts from downstairs.

"Xiao Yuan, come down to eat!"

This three-story small building is very nice. The location is good and you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Moskva River. The decoration is very good and practical. It can be said that the previous owner of the house must have loved this house very much.

But the original owner's family has gone abroad, and I'm afraid they will never come back.

Usually Wang Yuan lives alone on the third floor, Da Zhuang, Liu Jianye and the other six live on the first floor, and the second floor is the living room, billiard room, study and so on.

Wang Yuan went down from the third floor to the first floor, and saw that Da Zhuang had already arranged a bunch of big meat skewers on the plate. The meat skewers were very long, and one skewer might be worth four or five skewers in his hometown. Meat skewers.

"Xiaoyuan, there is venison today! This pot of venison stew is really delicious!"

"Well, Yevgeny and the others haven't come back yet?"

"No, Dazhao and Laoye went to Victor's Tavern to see, and there is no sign of them yet."

Big meat skewers, stewed venison, a pot of stewed cooked vegetable soup, and the staple food is rice.

Of course, the wine in the glass is also full.

Seven people sitting around the dining table, eating and chatting, and eating meat while toasting is refreshing. Although there are only three dishes for seven people, each dish is very large.

And compared with the absolute majority of Russian families, it is definitely a luxury. After all, many Russians can only eat cold and hard dry bread.

"This venison is really delicious. It's different from the deer in our hometown. According to the old man in the grocery store, this deer was caught in the woods outside Moscow."

Da Zhuang worked part-time as a cook, and Liu Jianye, Xu Zhao and others took turns as buyers. They gradually became able to speak some simple Russian in a Russian-speaking environment.

"The hunter was reluctant to eat venison, so he took it to the store to exchange for flour and canned meat. This venison ended up in our pot."

"Yeah, it's really delicious! Da Zhuang's meat stew is also excellent! You can apply for a chef job in a big restaurant when you get back."

"Yes, I think it's okay, or you can just start your own family. The grilled meat skewers are so delicious. I think dry barbecue is also good. I've thought of the name for you. It's called "Da Zhuang BBQ". "

Da Zhuang was lost in the praises. In fact, his cooking skills are only average. Everyone just wanted to praise him so that he would not let him down.

"My craftsmanship is so good, I take it seriously!" Da Zhuang seemed to really believe it, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

"Hahaha~"

Wang Yuan was the first to laugh, and the others followed suit.

"Wang~"

Suddenly, the dog that Wang Yuan had picked up came bouncing over, looking at the meat skewers on the table, swallowing greedily.

Gouzi is a young Erhu dog, with blue-black fur and bright eyes, but his right front paw is broken and he dare not touch the ground.

This dog was rescued by Wang Yuan from an old man who was so hungry that he wanted to eat it. In the end, Wang Yuan exchanged it with a small bag of flour.

"You want to eat meat too? Here it is!"

Wang Yuan took a large piece of meat off the drill and threw it to Gou Zi, who caught it as soon as he poked his mouth out, patter patter~ it was delicious.

"It can be considered that your life should not die. Take care of your wounds and take care of your home."

Gouzi sat on the carpet next to him half understanding, cocked his head and continued to watch Wang Yuan and the others eat.

There was nothing to do after eating, and they didn't go walking on the street to avoid any accidents. The difference in race was a bit too eye-catching.

It is not uncommon for foreigners to be bullied.

After playing cards relaxedly all afternoon, after dinner at night, Wang Yuan and the others put on self-defense pistols, put on clothes with hoods, and left the house.

"Wang~"

Erha Gou lay on the window sill and watched Wang Yuan and the others go away, and only lay down to sleep when he couldn't see at last.

5 kilometers south of the three-story building is the warehouse area. At a glance, there are large and small warehouses everywhere. Many goods shipped from the river terminal will also be temporarily stored here.

As the sun sets, the stars emerge, and crimes are quietly unfolding in the streets and alleys.

Passers-by are in a hurry and rarely meddle in other people's business. After all, they can't even take care of their own home and have no spare time to take care of others.

Da Zhuang and the others vaguely surrounded Wang Yuan for protection, and kept an eye on every intersection while walking.

At some intersections, there were three or five young Russians standing there smoking, talking softly, and constantly looking at the pedestrians coming and going, but looking away after a few seconds of watching Wang Yuan and his party.

They are also bullying creatures. Seeing a few bulging waists, the five big and three rough old men put down their hearts.

If there is a real fight, it is not certain who will grab who.

I came to the warehouse area without any danger, turned left and right, and soon came to No. 37 warehouse.

"Bang bang bang~"

After knocking on the small door on duty, the small door was quickly opened from the inside.

"Boss, are you here? Come in quickly."

The person who opened the door was a blond young man in his twenties with slender cheeks and a high nose bridge.

His name is Mokhoz, and he was originally an apprentice shoe repairer who worked like a free slave and could be beaten and scolded if he didn't pay attention.

But even so, he lost his job in the end, and couldn't even afford a single meal a day. Wang Yuan's arrival could be regarded as saving him.

In the warm room, apart from Mokhoz, there were three other Russian youths who were hired by Wang Yuan to guard the warehouse.

There is no need to pay salary, just take care of food, shelter and clothes.

"Sit down, everyone sit down, nothing happened today, right?" Every night Wang Yuan would come to Da Zhuang and the others to take a stroll and look at the goods in the warehouse.

To be on the safe side, Wang Yuan didn't put all the things in the space in the warehouse, but only put hundreds of cotton-padded clothes and some empty boxes in it for a look.

In this way, even if someone robs his warehouse, it will not lose too much.

A few people in Mokhoz are having a meal. They eat Bollinger, a round pancake-like thing with a diameter of about 30 centimeters.

Bollinger cakes are also divided into salty and sweet. Mokhoz and the youth on the left like salty ones, while others like sweet ones. Seeing the quarrel between them, Wang Yuan couldn't help but think that Chinese people are very salty to tofu. It's delicious, or it's sweet and delicious.

"Hey boss, do you think the salty Bollinger is delicious or the sweet one?"

Mohotz suddenly asked Wang Yuan.

Several other Russian youths also looked at Wang Yuan, expecting Wang Yuan's answer. They found that although this Chinese man was young, he was quite fair in his conduct.

Although Wang Yuan is a foreigner, he treats them much better than many of his own people.

"Why do we have to rank high and low? Everyone has different tastes. What you like to eat is better. It's like some people like beef and some like chicken..."

"Yes, beef is better than chicken."

"Fart, it's obvious that chicken is more delicious." Several guys interrupted deliberately, seeing Wang Yuan's helpless expression, they laughed instantly.

Wang Yuan also laughed, and Da Zhuang and the others laughed too, but Da Zhuang bumped Xu Zhao with his elbow:
"Dazhao, what are Xiaoyuan and these brats laughing at? You speak Russian well, so hurry up and talk about it."

"It seems that what kind of food is delicious, but I didn't understand what they were talking about too quickly." Xu Zhao scratched his head with a dazed expression.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yuan asked them to open the inner door of the warehouse, and a few of them went in and looked at the goods.

The entire large warehouse is 25 meters high, 100 meters long, and about 60 meters wide. It is divided into upper and lower floors and can store a lot of things.

The current warehouse is still somewhat empty, but when Yevgeny comes back, the warehouse will not be empty. At that time, Wang Yuan will release the things in the space to trade here as before.

In fact, Da Zhuang and the others were also curious about how Wang Yuan's goods were delivered, but after asking twice, Wang Yuan changed the subject, and they knew they shouldn't ask.

If you don't ask, don't ask, as long as you can make money, Da Zhuang is very clear about what his purpose is.

"Okay, then we'll go back, Mokhoz, pay more attention to our Huaxia antiques, and you can mobilize your relatives and friends to do it together.

As long as we can find a precious antique from China, all those involved will benefit. You know who I am, trust me, I won't lie to you. "

"Really? Let me think about it... In the shoe repair shop where I was an apprentice, there seem to be two beautiful vases from your country. The vases are exactly the same, very beautiful!"

Mokhoz excitedly said what he knew.

Of course, what he won't tell Wang Yuan is that, in fact, he has never thought those two vases are beautiful.

Instead, he was full of contempt and wondered what the people in the south were thinking. The bottles they made were weird.

Different countries have different aesthetics. In fact, most foreigners don't like Chinese antiques very much, just like Chinese people are not very interested in some Russian antiques.

The price of Huaxia antiques in later generations is getting higher and higher. Except for some investment institutions, the main reason is that many Huaxia people have money, and the competition among them pushes up the price.

Early the next morning.

Wang Yuan was still sleeping at home when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? It's not even six in the morning." Wang Yuanji opened the door with his slippers on, only to find Da Zhuang outside.

Da Zhuang moved away from his body, revealing Mokhoz who was shivering from the cold behind him.

Mokhoz's lips were purple from the cold, and the crooked cotton cap on his head was about to fall off. He hurriedly and happily pushed the two vases to Wang Yuan.

"Old...boss, the vase you want."

"Come in quickly, why are you here so early, why don't you wear cotton clothes?" Wang Yuan hurriedly let him into the room, and poured him a large cup of hot water for him to hold.

The heat of the water was transferred to the whole body, and Mokhoz shivered a few times, and soon there was a warmth rippling from his body.

Small mouth and big belly, full glaze, light blue lotus, maid, dragonfly and other patterns are lifelike.

The most rare one is a pair, and they are quite well preserved. Wang Yuan vaguely remembers that similar vases were auctioned in Hong Kong City in later generations, and the transaction price seems to be more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

"It's really hard for you. I sent these two treasures early in the morning." Wang Yuan loved the two vases so much that he took out a magnifying glass to examine them carefully:
"By the way, what did you trade for it? I can't let you build things."

The depreciation of the rupee is extremely fast, and even many things are priced at the same price every day, so many people start not wanting money and choose to barter.

A piece of bread for sprinkling potatoes.

A bottle of wine for a small piece of meat or something.

It is indeed troublesome but also helpless.

"It's useless to exchange things. I took advantage of that fat man's sleep, smashed the glass and stole the bottle and ran away. It was too late for him to go downstairs when he heard the sound... Back then he bullied me every day, so taking his two bottles was considered cheap." him."

Mohotz looked aggrieved. He had worked as an apprentice in that shop for more than ten years, which was no different from being a slave for more than ten years.

Because there is a layer of "teach him how to make a living", so the pitiful low wages will not make people feel that there is any problem, but unfortunately-the owner of that shop does not teach him skills at all, and he has to rack his brains to prevent him. He steals techniques.

There are few job opportunities. Where can I go if I leave this store?So Mokhoz could only bear with it, and besides, he naively hoped that he could learn a little bit of technology and open a store so that he and his grandfather could support themselves.

It's a pity that his grandfather committed suicide not long ago, and his heart began to change.

Wang Yuan didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he said with a sullen face: "If you can solve it by normal means, don't do anything illegal."

"It's not illegal."

Mokhoz had a disapproving expression on his face. He didn't know what he thought of, but he wanted to cry a little:
"My grandfather didn't break the law, but his life was not good at all, it was so miserable that he had to commit suicide in the end...

Those who go in and out of the special store are all breaking the law, and the result?They were not punished in any way, but their lives got better and better. "
