Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 123 The Enthusiastic Adorov

Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming didn't do what the middle-aged man said, he was going to take Yao Qiming to the hotel that Ou Xiaoyang told him before leaving.There were people from Vladivostok waiting for them in that hotel, and then took the two of them to that strictly regulated city.

The Ussuri River flows from south to north, and the railway is also in the north-south direction, dividing the whole city into two parts. The western urban area is larger, and the main government agencies, hotels, station theaters and cinemas of the city are located in the west.

Wang Weidong wanted Yao Qiming to ask in Russian where the November [-]th Hotel was. He suddenly found that the woman who had traveled with them from Grodekovo to here was still following them.

"Ask her if she knows where the November [-]th hotel is." Wang Weidong said to Yao Qiming.

Yao Qiming turned around and said a few words to the woman in Russian, and the woman answered a few words. Wang Weidong didn't understand anything, but he understood Davarish who had just learned it.

"This comrade said she knew she could take us there!" Yao Qiming happily said to Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong hurriedly nodded and smiled at the woman to express his thanks.

The woman walked in the front and led the two people forward. People on the street cast strange glances at Wang Weidong and the two of them.It is very difficult to see foreigners in this city in the Far East in this era.

Fifty years ago, there were still a few people with Chinese ancestry living here, but now none of them can be seen.

After walking for 10 minutes, the woman brought two people to a three-story building with a sickle and ax sign on it. This is the November [-]th Hotel.

The woman led the two of them directly into the hotel and said a few words in Russian to the person receiving the hotel, and the woman turned around and said a few words to Yao Qiming.

"They want our documents and the business certificate issued by Vladivostok." Yao Qiming said.

Wang Weidong hurriedly dug out his documents from his bag, and more importantly, the business certificate issued to them by the Vladivostok Fish Industry Company.

The people in the hotel said a few words in Russian to Yao Qiming after looking at the certificates and business certificates of the two of them.

"They said that Comrade Adelov from the fish company who came to pick us up has arrived, but he has something to go out now. They asked us if we want to stay and wait for Comrade Adelov to come back." Yao Qiming asked Wang Weidong.

"Of course we have to stay," Wang Weidong said.

Yao Qiming hurriedly explained to the people in the hotel that the two of them wanted to stay.

It wasn't until the two of them finished the formalities that the hotel staff was about to take them upstairs, and the woman who brought them here said goodbye to Wang Weidong and Yao Qiming in peace.

Yao Qiming expressed his thanks to the woman loudly in Russian, and Wang Weidong also nodded to her with a smile.

Yao Qiming said with emotion while going upstairs: "The people here are really enthusiastic, and they are still the same as before!"

Wang Weidong still smiled and said nothing.

There are toilets and bathtubs in the double room, but the various facilities are a bit old.The maid who took them upstairs and into the room was wearing a brightly colored bragi aka a dress.

"Two comrades, you are welcome to stay in our hotel. Dinner time is at seven o'clock in the evening." The waitress said to the two with a smile.

When Yao Qiming relayed the waiter's words to Wang Weidong, Wang Weidong rubbed his belly and said, "It's so late, I still have to be hungry for several hours."

"They also eat late for lunch, so dinner is also late." Yao Qiming said with a smile.

He came here more than 30 years ago, and now he has a feeling of revisiting an old place.

"I studied Russian for four years at the Far Eastern University. I have also been to the Shuangchengzi. Oh, yes, we'd better call them Ussuriysk and Vladivostok in the future. People here don't like us calling them Their Chinese names." Yao Qiming said.

"In such a big country, with so much land, how can we not have enough food and need to import food?" Wang Weidong said.He wasn't asking Yao Qiming a question.

Yao Qiming sighed and didn't answer, and he didn't have the answer to this question either.

Now China is exporting grain to this country, which is a very proud thing for the Chinese who have been hungry for thousands of years.

Black Province now exports corn to this country every year as a feed ingredient.

This time Wang Weidong came here to exchange the soybean meal used as feed for pollack.

The two waited until dinner at seven o'clock in the evening and Adlov did not come back.

The two went to the downstairs restaurant for dinner.

The waitress came over and asked the two of them softly whether they would like white or brown bread.

"Eat black bread, black bread is more chewy!" Yao Qiming suggested to Wang Weidong.

Beetroot soup with bread completes the meal, as does baked potato with salad.

Wang Weidong had eaten Russian-style western food in Harbin, so eating this meal was also very smooth.

He has no plans to drink with Yao Qiming, because when he was studying, he was told that it would be difficult to buy alcohol after going abroad, not to mention liquor, even wine.So people like Wang Weidong are warned not to try to drink abroad!
The two returned to the room after eating. If Adlov from the fish company came back, the hotel staff would tell him immediately that the Chinese guests he was going to receive had already arrived.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the sound of banging on the door startled the two people lying in the room.

Wang Weidong bounced off the bed reflexively, and he walked quickly to the door and opened it.

The person standing outside the door staggered towards the room, and Wang Weidong stretched out his hands to support the person's chest, so that the person would not fall to the ground.

"Welcome comrades from China!" the man murmured.

After Wang Weidong supported the man, he saw a woman standing behind him. She was tall and slender, with reddish-brown hair, thick and protruding lips, and she was half a head taller than Wang Weidong.

At this time Yao Qiming had already walked over.

He asked in Russian: "Are you Comrade Adlov?"

The man stretched out his hand to hold Yao Qiming's hand and said, "Hello, comrades from China, hello!"

The strong smell of alcohol sprayed over Wang Weidong's shoulders and onto Yao Qiming's face.

"Help him in!" Wang Weidong said.

Each of them took Adlov by the arm and helped him to a chair, and the young woman came in and sat on another chair.

Wang Weidong saw the person who had been waiting for a long time finally came, and habitually took out his cigarette, only after he took it out did he realize that this is a foreign country.

But when Adlov saw the cigarette in front of him, he took the cigarette and put it under his nose to inhale the smell of the cigarette, looking intoxicated.

Adlov murmured a series of Russian words, and Wang Weidong only heard Hala Shao clearly.

Afraid of violating the regulations, Wang Weidong only brought five packs of cigarettes for crossing the border this time. When Adlov put a cigarette in his mouth, Wang Weidong hurriedly took out his lighter and lit it.

Adlov took out another cigarette and handed it to the woman beside him, and Wang Weidong hurriedly lit another cigarette for the young woman.

"This is my dear Comrade Lyudmila." Adlov introduced drunkenly.
