395 [Erguotou Open Hanging]
The night is the cold wind whistling, the snowflakes are falling—
Volga-branded sedans are driving alone on the spacious avenue of Moscow.
Song Zhichao was jogging hard in the car, and with a severe cold, he felt very bad. He listened to the "crunch" sound of a car crushing ice and snow in his ears, and his head was dizzy and wanted to fall asleep.
At this time, the car suddenly braked.
Song Zhichao leaned forward with inertia bumps. Fortunately, he stretched out his hand quickly and held the chair in front with his hand, so he survived that his head hit the back of the chair.
"What happened?" Song Zhichao asked.
Chekov said to him, "The martial law is coming."
"What?" Song Zhichao was stunned for a moment, then looked forward, and saw that a team of Soviet soldiers blocked the entire road not far away, using thick birch wood to make herringbones, crossing the middle of the road, prohibiting vehicles from entering.
Chekov explained, "There is no peace in Moscow recently, and people often rob shops and harass tourists, so a curfew is imposed every 9 o'clock in the evening."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhichao looked at his watch. It happened to be nine o'clock, and the roadblock in front was obviously built. Several Soviet soldiers next to him were still yelling in their hands. It seemed that this thing was frozen lightly when they built it just now.
"I'm sorry, Boss Song, according to normal time, if I was not late and I went to pick up the plane early, I would have been able to enter Moscow before the curfew to reach the hotel you booked, but now..." Chekov looked ashamed.
Song Zhichao waved his hand, meaning that he would be embarrassed if he didn't care about his business, and it was difficult for him to get a car accident on the road.
So Song Zhichao said to Jin Jiu: "Hurry it and go back to the hotel to rest - Ah Yeh!" He took out the tissue again.
Seeing that Song Zhichao gave the order, Jin Jiu smiled, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the Soviet soldiers guarding the barrier.
Chekov also hurriedly got out of the car and acted as his translator.
Song Zhichao rubbed his nose in the car, his head was drowsy, too lazy to pay attention to how to solve this difficult problem outside.
...
There were four Soviet soldiers responsible for guarding the checkpoints, two on the other side. At this moment, they were rubbing their hands and creating an empty gasoline barrel. They threw firewood and lit it. The firewood crackled and the strong fire was blowing, and the flames blew, illuminating the surroundings.
Seeing someone getting out of the car, and he was a tall "foreigner", four Soviet soldiers immediately became alert and were about to raise the gun at hand. At this time, Chekov jumped out of the car and said in Russian: "Sorry, dear soldiers, we just came from the airport..."
Seeing the soldiers relax their guard, Jin Jiu greeted them with a smile, and Chekov next to him helped to do the translation. During this period, the soldiers checked their passports and travel documents, but seemed to find no problem.
After a moment, Jin Jiu returned to the car, took out two bottles of "Erguotou", then turned around and walked back, stuffed Erguotou directly to the four Soviet soldiers on duty and said, "Thank you! It's convenient!"
The four Soviet soldiers were also old experts. When they saw Erguotou, they all smiled. They immediately accepted it, opened the floodgates, and said, "Long live the friendship between Su and China!"
Jin Jiu grinned and said, "Long live the friendship between China and the Soviet Union!"
You should know that high-level liquor like "Erguotou" in the Soviet Union is very popular among the Soviets. Many times, things that cannot even be done in gold can be done by taking out Erguotou. Therefore, when Song Zhichao came to the Soviet Union, he specially brought some "Erguotou" over. In addition, Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong are both strong men, which is very convenient.
In this way, I got back in the car and had a super weapon like "Erguotou", which was unobstructed.
In contrast, some other travelers who wanted to enter Moscow city were very distressed and were directly intercepted outside. On the cold and snowy day, they were frowning. Some of them were carrying their children, and the children cried. Even if they begged, the people on duty did not open the gates to release them. From a distance, a large group of people were submerged in the heavy snow, and I don’t know where to spend the night tonight.
...
Hotel Poseidon, Moscow—
Song Zhichao is a person who doesn’t like to endure hardships. To be precise, he suffered too much in his previous life, so he was very repulsive of enduring hardships. Therefore, his hobby now is to enjoy.
Whether it’s a business trip or a job, you have to eat the best food and live the best. Money is not a problem. As long as you can live comfortably, it’s OK - isn’t making money just for enjoyment?
Therefore, when Song Zhichao came to Moscow this time, he directly booked the most famous five-star hotel, Poseidon Hotel.
Song Zhichao was feeling uncomfortable and too lazy to eat some midnight snacks, so he went back to his room to rest.
Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong, led by Chekov, went to the hotel restaurant and ordered late-night snacks.
It was not that the Soviet Union had delicious food, it mainly depends on whether you have money or not.
Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong took out Chekov to have a small meal in the restaurant and had a nice meal.
After dinner, Chekov remembered that Song Zhichao told him to bring him some cold medicine after dinner, so he wanted to buy cold medicine at the department store in the hotel.
Large hotels like Poseidon generally have their own department stores, buying and selling souvenirs and some daily necessities, the most common ones are towels and condoms. However, there are very few medical ones.
Helplessly, Chekov had to go out in the heavy snow, and the Soviet Union had been placing curfews or something during this period, so many pharmacies were not open. Chekov finally found a familiar pharmacy and took a long time to shoot the door before opening it.
Due to the current situation, prices in the Soviet Union are soaring. Even if the government uses gold to lower the prices of some necessities, such as bread, milk, etc., the prices of some special commodities, such as alcohol, medicine, etc., are still high.
Fortunately, Chekov carried the US dollars Song Zhichao gave him with him.
Now in the Soviet Union, US dollars are more effective than gold. When Chekov took out the US dollars, the pharmacy owner even his eyes were straight, and the resentment that had been awakened by Chekov suddenly dissipated.
After buying cold medicine, Chekov hurriedly drove his Volga sedan back to the Poseidon Hotel.
On the road, I kept hearing the police car roaring and the flashes flashed on the road. I don’t know which store was robbed by the robber again.
On such a cold and heavy snowy day, poor Moscow police could not calm down. They had to go to the scene to investigate after receiving the call.
In fact, Moscow's police force is not enough at all. The main reason is that there are too many robbery cases. If people want to survive and live, many poor people are not allowed to take risks. In addition, there are also some criminals who are already restless, who take advantage of the situation to rob the capital Moscow at this time, making the capital Moscow not at peace.m.
