Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 738: Date One and Bring Two
After squatting in the ditch, Han Li had time to release the two little owls to observe the situation from a distance, while he used his mental power to observe the nearby situation.

There was no movement around at this time, and the train could only see lights and hazy shadows. Seeing this scene, Han Li immediately knew why this was the case.

"Made, I jumped too early because I was inexperienced."

While complaining to himself in his heart, Han Li retreated in one direction under the guidance of the little owl. While retreating, he also took out some odor-eliminating powder and sprinkled it around, and used decomposition to clean up all the traces he left behind.

These two actions did not stop until Han Li came to a road paved with sand and gravel. Here Han Li changed out of the unworn shoes and clothes and put on the ones he bought at Lao Maozi last time. Clothes, belts, shoes, hats. The complete set.

As for the worn parts of Han Li's body, they were thrown directly into the decomposition space. After returning home, He Mi and the others used them to make the clothes. As for the beaten clothes, they could be made into shoe soles or insoles. In short, they would not be damaged. Wasted.

After doing all this, Han Li walked to the road, sprinkled the smell-eliminating powder on the place where he had just changed clothes for the last time, and then walked towards the brightly lit town in the distance.

It was around one o'clock in the morning when Han Li arrived in this town where lights were still on. There were very few lighted rooms.

And the size of this town is really not that great. Judging from the layout and number of houses, the population here is probably a few thousand people at most. Most of the houses are in the local style of gabled roofs and wood carvings.

Han Li was just thinking about which direction he should go next, when a drunkard staggered towards him. Han Li didn't pay attention at first. After all, what Lao Maozi always lacked was drunkards.

"Boy, take out all the money you have, or else, hiccup, don't blame me for being rude."

Especially after entering the 1970s, Lao Maozi's economy was the second in the world, but the per capita consumption of dairy products, meat, and eggs was much higher than that of beautiful countries. People had money in their hands and wine on the market. The custom of drinking has been carried forward, and they can always find various reasons to drink.

So when Han Li saw an alcoholic, he didn't take it seriously at all. But what he didn't expect was that when the alcoholic walked up to him, he actually took out a knife and wanted to rob him.

However, the collective farms and villages attached below are too scattered and far away, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient by relying on the local cooperative bakeries, cooperative sausage processing plants, cooperative livestock slaughtering plants, and cooperative flour processing plants.

"The happiness of the people of Tsarist Russia lies in drinking."

Han Li quickly found a local all-night bar based on the drunkard's account. It was said that the owner of this bar had a very strong relationship. Not only was he ranked in the front row of the local area, but he was also very easy to talk to in the A-Moore Prefecture. All those who went to his bar to look for trouble did not end well. Some were said to have drunk too much and froze in the snow, some ran to the railroad while drunk, and several disappeared inexplicably.

Later, during the Tsarist period, due to various reasons at the time, there was a widely circulated saying among the people.

This situation makes the collective farms attached below have no choice but to trade in Skovorodino if they want to make some extra money, so the "farmers' market" here is relatively large.

At that time, the people of Kievan Rus believed in multiple religious religions. At that time, they had to choose one of Islam, Judaism, Christianity and other religions as the state religion. When consulting the people's opinions, the people chose and chose Christianity. Christianity was chosen as the reason for not prohibiting drinking, thus making Christianity the state religion of Kievan Rus.

Han Li became happy when he heard this. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He waved his arm forward violently, and the drunkard lay down on the ground without even making a sound.

Moreover, Skovorodino is the only large town for hundreds of miles nearby. The state-owned stores here are not only large-scale, but also the most advanced self-selected stores.

Han Li dragged him away from the surrounding houses. After a while of punching and kicking him, he dispersed the depression of falling off the train. He also learned what he wanted to know from this drunkard. Only then did he feel refreshed. left here.

This is "Skovorodino", one of the affiliated cities of the Amur region. The local area relies on railway stops and is much richer economically than Diana's farm where Han Li went last time.

As long as you are lucky, you can buy items from all the collective farms and collective breeding farms for hundreds of miles around in one day at the farmer's market in Skovorodino.

For example: people drink when they are born, old, sick, die, at weddings and funerals, they drink when they pay their wages, they drink when they are in a bad mood, and those who left the door first today are not happy to drink. The most exaggerated thing is that they can even take the eggs laid by hens at the homes of their relatives and friends. Use it as a reason to drink and celebrate.

But it also leaves the influence of various historical factors. It is said that it was in the distant Kievan Rus period.

What? Not even pickles? We drink and never eat vegetables. People who drink and eat vegetables are not worthy of drinking.

What should I do if I only have pickles at home? Pickled cucumber is my life, and it’s the perfect way to go with wine.

Although their habit has a lot to do with the coldness of the region, because the winter here lasts for a long time, in order to resist the cold, the local people's habit of drinking has become a habit that has been formed and inherited from generation to generation.

Since 1914, Lao Maozi has issued several prohibition orders, but unfortunately they all failed in disguise.

People have more money in their hands and live a relatively prosperous life. As long as they have money in their hands, both men and women, old and young, like to have a few drinks. This has led to more local bars, both overt and covert.

From the description of the drunkard, it is not difficult to see that the owner of this bar is really punishable.

But these are none of Han Li's business, and he has the experience from last time. This time he plans to purchase goods directly from the "farmer's market".

Han Li came to this bar for three reasons. First, to inquire about the market conditions so that he would be well aware of the situation when he purchases goods.

Second, see if you can find a pleasing Ocean Horse to spend this unforgettable night with, and expand the scope of your mental power.

Third, Han Li did not have local currency in his hands, but he did not want to waste the little gold and jewelry he had used to decompose space, so he planned to borrow some from this punishable boss.

When Han Li pushed open the door of the two-story bar, he immediately felt the high temperature inside.

Although it was almost two o'clock in the morning, there were still more than ten people drinking inside, but most of them were bragging at this time, and four or five waiters in cool clothes were sitting at the bar.

Han Li strained his energy to investigate, and borrowed 100 rubles and 20 kopecks from an old man who was bragging to a red-faced, frail waiter. From the time Han Li walked in until he finished borrowing the money, he just walked to the bar. This is indeed a relatively large town, or the boss here is quite awesome. Not only does it have vodka, but also a variety of wines, brandies, whiskeys and beers.

Of course, Han Li would not drink those strong drinks if there was beer. He paid 30 kopecks for a huge glass of Baku's special beer.

When Han Li picked up the beer, he began to carefully explore the bar. The first floor was what he saw in front of him. The second floor had warehouses, dormitories and an oversized room.

The interior of this room is rather wildly decorated, with elk heads, bear heads and several shotguns of different styles hanging on the walls.

There was a large table placed near the window, with several copper ornaments and some books on it. There were two pistols and bullets in the drawer on the right, and a small amount of cash in the drawer on the left.

This kind of room is the only one in the entire bar. Needless to say, this is the boss's exclusive room.

However, the fireplace inside was not burning and there was no one around. Han Li had never seen the boss before. Did he go home too late? Or is there no one in Skovorodino?
Not noticing the boss, Han Li, he began to look at the other people in the bar. The current customers were all men, not a single woman.

The big brother who lent Han Li money did not sit still. He hugged the waiter and danced in the open space in the middle, but this dance was a bit too ambiguous.

Han Li was a little disappointed when he turned his attention to the remaining waiters. It might be that the good-looking ones had left work, or had gone to "work". Anyway, among the few waiters there currently, there was no beauty that made his eyes light up.

Han Li looked at his watch. The time was now three-thirty in the morning. The lack of time was really frustrating.

However, considering that no one would be there until around ten o'clock tomorrow at either the bar or the farmer's market, Han Li waved to one of the waiters with good looks and the plumpest figure, and waited for her to come over and ask her name in fluent Russian. Invite the person over for a drink.

"My name is Yulia, you want to buy me a drink? That's really nice, but I like to drink vodka, so forget it if you buy me a beer. Drinking this will make my stomach bloated."

"It's hard to tell if you like to drink vodka. You can order any brand here."

After Han Li finished speaking, the waiter named Yulia smiled and asked pointedly.
"You are such a handsome and generous boy, but do you just want to treat me to a drink?"

"To be honest, of course not. In the face of a beautiful girl like you, there is definitely something wrong with anyone who only thinks about drinking. If there is a chance, we can get to know her more 'deeply'."

Han Li's truth made Yulia laugh even harder. Her cool clothes could hardly cover up the two large apples. After she finished laughing, she stretched out her hand to squeeze Han Li's arm and said.

"Thank you for your compliment. I like to make friends with strong and handsome boys like you. I still have half an hour to get off work, and I can't drink well in this little time. If you can wait for me to get off work, you can come to my place later. How about a drink when the place is open?”

"where you live?"

Yulia pointed to the two waiters next to her and said, "After working here, I shared an apartment belonging to the railway branch with my friends Anastasia and Alina."

Han Li looked at Yulia's hand, nodded to the two waiters and said.

"Thank you to the beautiful Yulia for giving me this opportunity. Now call your two friends over. Let's heighten the atmosphere here first, and then you can have a good drink after get off work."

Yulia waved to her friends Anastasia and Alina. There was no one in the bar at this time, so there were four people on the bar.

After a brief introduction, they started drinking. The three of them picked up the wine glasses and took a drink without stumbling.

Next, while chatting and drinking, Han Li realized that the eldest of the three of them was only 21 years old, and that they were all from collective farms under the Amur Prefecture.

The winter here is too long. People like them have no way to go to work, but they yearn for life in the city.

Whether it is to make money to supplement the family income, to find connections for a job, or to work outside to reduce the burden on the family.

In short, Anastasia started working here year-round three years ago, and Yulia and Alina started working here two years ago, and they only come here after the autumn harvest.

Yulia and Alina take classes here for half a year and can earn between three hundred and four hundred rubles. After deducting a series of expenses such as renting a house, eating, drinking, buying clothes, etc., in the end they basically don’t save much money. If you drink too much, the money won't even be enough.

Han Li praised, explained, and dealt with them in his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking that the gap between rich and poor exists everywhere, and what some people have to struggle for a lifetime to succeed is easy for others.

Also, yearning for this kind of city life knows no boundaries and cannot be exempted from it no matter where it is, but some people are born in Rome, and some people live as mules and horses throughout their lives.

When the four of them finished their second drink, it was time for Yulia and the others to get off work. When they went to the back to change clothes, Han Li bought a box of 12 bottles of "Red Label" vodka from the bartender. .

("Red Label" vodka began in 1938, was blocked in 1941 with Prohibition, and was blocked in 1944. In 1953 and 59, it became famous all over the country and even the world. In 1991, Lao Maozi's patent office revoked the protection of this trademark. From then on, anyone All can produce "Red Label Vodka", and the market is suddenly full of inferior Red Label Vodka. Han Li also drank this kind of fake and inferior wine in his previous life.)
When Han Li paid the money and was waiting for Yulia and the others to come out with his feet on the wine box, the roar of many motor vehicles came from outside the bar, and then a large group of tall, strong and fierce-looking people walked in.

When the people in the bar greeted the big fat man in the middle, Han Li knew that this was the owner of the bar, Kolosov. The group of people did not stop at the bar and went directly to the second floor. However, in this brief moment, It was enough for Han Li to remember the appearance of the uncle who gave away money.

After the group of people went upstairs, Yulia changed her clothes and came out. It was already four o'clock in the morning. Of course, it was time to have fun at this time. Anyway, Kolosov, the money-giving uncle, didn't have any on him now.

Han Li and Yulia left the place while holding the wine box, chatting and laughing. After going out, Han Li said that he would tie his shoelaces and let them go first. In fact, he told the two little owls to keep an eye on Coloso. Husband, so that he can drink, pick up girls, and spy on him all without missing a beat.

Han Li and the others left too early. If they had left a little later, they would definitely have heard Kolosov's roar on the second floor.
