Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 78, visit

"What majors do you all study?" Zhang Jiachen spoke first after a few minutes.

"I want to learn aviation." My father was killed by the little devil's plane. I must research our own plane and stop being bullied.

It was Cao Bin who spoke first. When he said this, his hands were still clenched into fists.

"I want to learn machinery." As long as the country's own machine is manufactured, Zhang Jiachen also opened his mouth.

"I want to learn geological exploration." Zhao Zhanqiang next to him also said.

"Jiang Yan, what about you!" Cao Bin asked Jiang Yan.

"I want to study gold."

Jiang Yan had already thought about material science before. In the last world, he studied mechanical manufacturing, so it was not interesting to study it again. Besides, he knew more than them.

For a long period of time, the material problem has always been a constraint on the development of our country. Aircraft lack light alloys, weapons lack hard steel, and even for a long period of time, our country cannot even manufacture qualified steel rails.

If steel is the backbone of a country, Jiang Yan doesn't mind making it stronger.

Besides, there are many alloy formulas in my own space, including my own mind, if there is no excuse, how can I get them out.

In the following time, everyone will study there with professional books when they are free. In order to integrate into the SL environment as soon as possible, Jiang Yan suggested that they usually use Russian as much as possible for their conversations.

With the language environment, everyone's Russian proficiency has also been greatly improved, and ordinary conversations are basically not difficult.

When Jiang Yan is resting, he likes to sit by the car window and watch the scenery when he has nothing to do.

The scenery along this road is excellent, and the three countries in transit have their own characteristics. The mountains, grasslands, birch forests, Lake Baikal, and SL characteristic villages are constantly changing along the way.

Ten days later in the evening, they came to Moscow, the capital of SL.

Jiang Yan and the others got out of the car and were picked up by the people from the Moscow Consulate.

On the way to the accommodation, through the car window, Jiang Yan and the others looked at this strange city curiously.

I have to say that Moscow is quite beautiful now. All I saw along the way were tall European-style buildings, especially their upper floors, almost all of which had small spiers.

During this period, Stalinist architecture was extremely popular here, and such architecture has a strong ideological symbol.The appearance of the building is intended to "praise the ideal social order of communism", and it mostly presents majestic momentum, towering majesty, symmetrical layout, and luxurious decoration.

Since it was already night, the street lights on the street were all lit up, adding a lot of strange beauty to the city.

This made many people in the car admire again and again!
When they arrived at the hotel arranged by the embassy, ​​when they were about to go upstairs, the teacher who led the team told Jiang Yan that they would take them on a tour in the next three days and asked them to maintain a good image.

The room Jiang Yan and the others arranged was a standard double room, and Cao Bin and him were arranged in the same room.

Back in his own room, Jiang Yan put down the suitcase in his hand, greeted Cao Bin who lived in the same room, washed up briefly, put on his pajamas, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Jiang Yan was ridiculed by them when he was sleeping in pajamas, saying that he was a dog with long horns making troubles abroad.

But Jiang Yan was really not used to sleeping naked, so he let them laugh, and they got used to it after a long time.

The Russian-style breakfast is very rich. The staple food is generally black bread, Brin cake, and various oatmeal. Breakfast also includes eggs, milk, black tea, yogurt, sausage, cheese, honey, jam, sugar cubes, etc.

But Jiang Yan is really not used to eating this Russian black bread. Their kind of bread is fermented with old flour.Most of this kind of bread does not use oil, and what it wants is the original aroma of wheat and yeast, but it is big and rough, which is a representative of Eastern European bread.

Jiang Yan barely ate it with jam and porridge.

Although there are many types of them, Jiang Yan feels that the fried liver buns in Sijiucheng are the most suitable for him.

After they enjoyed a sumptuous Russian breakfast, they arranged to visit, accompanied by government staff.

The first stop they visited was the collective farm.

Collective farms are socialist collective economic organizations organized by farmers of the CL Federation for the joint management of agricultural production.

In the second half of 1929, CL began overall collectivization, established a large number of agricultural communes, and enforced the publicization of most of the means of production. In 1930, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) determined that the basic form of the collective farm movement was the agricultural labor association, that is, the land was state-owned and permanently used by the labor association, and other means of production and labor products were owned by the collective; After various necessary deductions, distribution is made according to the amount of labor involved. Combination farmers can keep small farm tools and a certain amount of livestock and poultry, manage the specified land next to the house and family sidelines as auxiliary income.

In the 50s, almost all villages in SL were incorporated into collective farms.

Where the government officials were eloquently explaining, Jiang Yan and the others spoke seriously below, but compared to other people, Jiang Yan was simply curious.

In the last world, Jiang Yan often mentioned the life of the collective farm from the mouth of the elders, which made Jiang Yan very curious about the collective farm, so he listened very carefully.

After visiting the collective farm, the next stop they came to was the "Red October Chocolate Factory".

To be honest, this factory is very famous. It was built in 1851. This factory is located on the banks of the Moscow River. Its iconic brick red wall has become one of the landmarks of Moscow.

The "Red October" factory is famous for two things in history: First, during the Great Patriotic War, it overcame various difficulties and supplied a large number of "Guards" and "Coke" series to the army—especially the Air Force pilots chocolate.

The second is to produce chocolate candies of Alunka and Big Head Doll series.The little girl's head on its yellow paper cover was strongly loved by everyone as soon as it appeared, and became the best symbol of the "Red October" factory, even surpassing the original logo.In short, this is SL's "White Rabbit", which everyone loved and has memories of.

This kind of big-headed doll chocolate was still sold on the Internet until the time when Jiang Yan traveled, and the scene was quite popular.

Before leaving, Jiang Yan and the others were each given a bag of these chocolates as gifts.

Next, they took Jiang Yan and the others to visit Moscow's department store and other buildings.

During the visit, Jiang Yan noticed that this era is truly the golden age of SL, and everyone on the street is smiling and relaxed.

There are also a variety of products in the department store, and the prices are not high.

According to government officials, at this time, the per capita salary in SL was about 715 rubles, and the wounds of the war had basically recovered.But there are more women than men on the street.

The purchasing power of the ruble in this era is quite strong.

A price list is posted inside the department store building.

购买黑面包1卢布1公斤而白面包3卢布1公斤，牛肉则是12.5卢布1公斤等等。

Then Jiang Yan said that they can buy 600 rubles a month: almost 200 kilograms of white bread or 48 kilograms of beef, 200 liters of milk and so on.

These subsidies can completely allow them to live well in Moscow.

But we should not forget that the development of CL was still very uneven at that time.

In the early 50s, there were many gourmet restaurants in Moscow and Leningrad, but the lives of people in other regions were much more difficult, and the lives of rural people were especially poor.
