Hello 1983

  Chapter 473 If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only by being rich and strong can the country prosper

   "Wow, what a cute doll!"

  Xiao Laosi was holding a wooden doll in his hand, jumping up and down happily.

  Shan Xing also had one, and she also pursed her lips with joy.

  The wooden dolls are round and round, with colored dolls drawn on them, wearing turbans and Russian-style robes, looking very festive and cute.

   After Liu Qingshan and the two little guys expressed their joy, they said: "Open it and have a look, there are surprises inside."

  The fourth and fifth children soon discovered that there was a very inconspicuous gap in the middle of the wooden doll, which seemed to be openable.

   "Brother, it can't be a piggy bank, it's full of money, right?"

  The little fourth brother soon revealed his true colors as a little money fan.

   And Shan Xing directly unscrewed the wooden doll in his hand.

"Wow!"

  The two little guys exclaimed in unison, because there appeared another wooden doll that was exactly the same, but it was a size smaller.

  Thus, the two little guys started to open these dolls. Good guy, they opened them more than ten times in a row, and the last little one left was only the size of a fingernail.

   "Haha, it's so fun!" Xiao Laosi arranged the dolls in a long row in order from big to small.

  The meaning of nesting dolls is good. It actually represents the prosperity of children and grandchildren, just like that sentence: children and grandchildren are infinitely scarce.

   These two nesting dolls were specially bought by Liu Qingshan for his younger sister in the shop in Bushi.

  Purely handmade, the material is basswood, which is light and strong, will not crack, and is most suitable for making dolls.

   This time I went to the cloth market, I also harvested a few pieces of beeswax, Liu Qingshan is going to give it to the eldest sister to take back.

   At that time, ask Zhang Shuzi to help process it into beads, and give them to grandpa and master to play with.

  Of course, the biggest gain is the medal.

  At this moment, Liu Qingshan took out the medal and handed it to the eldest sister, asking her to take it back and put it in his private exhibition hall.

   "Wow, this badge is so beautiful!"

  The little fourth child also yelled from the side, and then felt a little strange: "Hey, why isn't it Grandpa Mao?"

  In this era, every family has some chairman badges, and children like to wear one on their chests.

  Because some badges are covered with that kind of red plastic and plexiglass, which are shiny and very beautiful.

  Liu Qingshan tugged at the antenna braid of the fourth child: "This is a medal, to be precise, it should be called the Victory Medal."

  The little fourth child stretched out his little finger to touch the red five-pointed star on it: "This red plexiglass is so beautiful, and there are so many transparent glasses around it."

   Then she said with some reluctance: "It's a pity that there is only one. If I wear it, there will be no Shanxing, so I still don't wear it."

   Hearing this, Liu Qingshan blinked hard twice: This is the Victory Medal, there are only twenty of them in total, how many more do you want?

   And, is that plexiglass, is that real ruby, okay?

   And those broken glass, are they inlaid with diamonds, okay?

  The main body of this medal is platinum, and gold, diamonds, enamel, etc. are also used.

   Not counting its scarcity and commemorative significance, even the cost is more than one million US dollars, which can be called the most expensive medal in the world.

   Those who can get this Victory Medal are all marshals, and the minimum must be at the general level. They have been issued one after another, and a total of 20 have been issued.

  And after the winner dies, the medal will be withdrawn and sent to the exhibition hall for collection, which shows its preciousness.

  Liu Qingshan didn't know who Katyusha's grandfather was, who was able to win the Victory Medal.

   I don't know if it was stolen by someone who didn't know the goods, or if he was a thief in his own family. In short, by chance, Liu Qingshan exchanged two bottles of wine for his hands.

  This is really a great irony. No wonder Katyusha’s grandfather didn’t have the face to ask for this medal back.

  Because the Victory Medal will be withdrawn after the owner's death, Liu Qingshan estimates that the one in his hand is probably the only one that can be seen on the market, and its preciousness can be imagined.

  Although it is said that success or failure is an inevitable law of objective development, Liu Qingshan feels that before an empire collapses, there must be various signs.

  Now, all kinds of chaos in the Soviet Union are the prelude to disintegration.

  The fourth and fifth children are here, so of course Liu Qingshan wants to get something delicious for the two little girls, so let's eat hot pot.

   In the market here, you can buy mutton, and it is all transported from the HLBE grassland. The mutton is fat and tender, and it is most suitable for hot pot.

   There were more than 20 of them eating hot pot, and Liu Qingshan directly bought dozens of catties of lamb chops.

  The mutton here is not too expensive, and vegetables are more expensive than meat.

  There is no machine for slicing meat, which is not a problem for a group of foodies. Frozen lamb is directly pushed up with a woodworking plane.

   Once the plane is pulled down, it becomes a long and large meat roll, and it is pushed very thinly, which is no worse than that made by a machine.

   There are really no vegetables or anything.

   But there are fungus, frozen tofu, dried tofu, as well as soaked mushrooms and kelp, as well as Chinese cabbage and sauerkraut, and a large table is set.

   There are two tables in total, each with a large copper pot, which was borrowed from Longteng Hotel.

  Some of them, it is the first time to cook hot pot, they are a little curious, do not know how to start.

  In this era, if you come from the countryside, there are not many people who have eaten hot pot.

  The fourth and fifth children are okay. When they went to the capital, they ate at Donglaishun.

  The two little girls first arranged to mix the seasonings. In addition to sesame paste, leek flowers and fermented bean curd, the youngest also asked the eldest sister to scoop up a small spoonful of chili oil for her.

  The leek flowers here are very good. They are all made from the wild leek flowers on the meadow. The taste is very strong, and it is a perfect match with lamb.

   Fermented bean curd is also good. A few hundred miles away from here, there is Erke Mountain, where fermented bean curd is produced, and it is said that it is also exported.

  In winter, it is most suitable to eat hot pot. Sitting around, steaming, eating and chatting, the atmosphere is very lively.

  Especially recently, the business is going well, everyone is in a good mood, and the dinner table is even more lively.

   "Don't just eat meat, but also some sea vegetables, so as not to grow a thick neck."

  Liu Qingshan saw Xiao Lao Si kept nagging at the meat, so he took a piece of kelp for her.

  Inland in the Northeast, seafood is rarely eaten, so it is easy to be iodine deficient. At that time, most people ate large grains of salt, which did not add iodine.

  In this case, it is easy to get thyroid diseases, and the neck is swollen and thick, which is commonly called thick neck by the common people.

  So in winter, every family often buys some dried kelp, soaks it, and uses it to stew.

  Then, he scooped up another chopsticks of meat for Shan Xing: "Old Wu, don't just eat vegetables, you can grow meat only by eating meat."

   "Brother, you are biased, do you want to treat Shanxing as a child bride?"

  Of course the youngest and fourth child didn’t do it, and I don’t know where she got the word child bride, so she popped it up without even thinking about it.

   At the dinner table, there was a burst of laughter, and Shan Xing's little face was flushed red from the laughter.

   "You girl, even eating can't stop your mouth!"

  Liu Qingshan gave Xiao Lao Si a blank look, and said angrily.

  …

  The next day, Liu Qingshan asked everyone for leave, and then led his sisters and sisters to go shopping in the city.

  In fact, in the company, Liu Qingshan only needs to be in charge of the helm. For specific things, there are so many people.

  In winter, there is really nothing to do in the urban area.

  And the current Heihe has not yet started large-scale construction.

  Even Daheihe Island is under constant construction.

  There is only one trading shed this year, and it will be expanded to five trading halls in the future. Hotels and other supporting facilities will also be built on the island, but that is all in the future.

   Liu Qingshan mainly led them to visit some relics of the ancient city of Aihui. After all, a famous Aihui treaty was signed here.

  Some historic sites were destroyed in that special era more than ten years ago, which made Liu Qingshan feel very sorry.

  The fourth and fifth children watched with great interest, but after listening to some explanations from the elder brother, the two little girls gradually became sullen.

   "Brother, you said that Maozi's territory was originally ours, so why don't you come back?"

  The little old four spoke angrily.

  Beside Liu Jinfeng said angrily: "Then you go and ask for it."

  The little fourth child immediately took Shan Xing's hand: "Fiveth child, when we grow up, we will take those territories back!"

  Liu Qingshan patted the hats on the heads of the two little guys respectively, and praised: "Okay, you have ambition."

   After finishing speaking, he also looked towards the distant Cangshan snow field, and murmured: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and only when you are rich and strong can you prosper!"

  At this moment, Liu Jinfeng saw incomparable confidence and strength from his brother's resolute face.

  Then they went for a stroll on the river and saw a group of fishermen fishing in winter on the river, so they watched with interest.

  After the fishermen started to draw the net from the ice hole, there were big fish that were alive and kicking, and they were taken out of the water. The fourth and fifth children were so happy that they clapped their hands.

   "Brother, is this a salmon? I watched TV and said, this place produces salmon?" Shan Xing looked at a big, slender fish and asked Liu Qingshan.

  Among the fishermen, an old man smiled and replied: "Haha, the little girl knows a lot. There are indeed big horses in our river."

   "It's just that it's not the season now. Da Maha only goes upstream from the sea and enters the river in summer and autumn."

  The little fourth was a little confused: "Grandpa, according to what you said, there should be salmon in the river?"

  The old man saw the cuteness of the two little girls, so he started talking: "This kind of fish comes back to lay eggs. They are born in the river and grow in the sea."

  "After becoming an adult, you have to return to your hometown to lay eggs."

  The little fourth child immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, salmon never forgets its hometown, it is a good fish!"

  The old man continued: "It's just that when they swim back, they don't eat any more along the way. After laying eggs, they consume all the nutrients in their bodies, and they will die within a few days."

ah?

  The little old four's two little palms were fixed in the air, his mouth was open, and he stared blankly at the old fisherman, his big eyes became foggy, and he was a little more sad.

   Liu Qingshan saw that Shan Xing's little face was also full of sadness, so he stretched out two hands and patted their little heads gently:

  “Whether it’s human or animals, home is the final destination.”

   The two little guys nodded with a vague understanding.

  The old fisherman also nodded with some emotion: "This is the same as Ye Luo's return to the root. Therefore, few people will catch salmon that have spawned."

   "On the one hand, it is because such fish has no nutrition in the body, and on the other hand, it is our respect for the big maha."

   "Actually, people are the same. From generation to generation, the old will always leave, and the young will always grow up."

Ok!

  The fourth and fifth children nodded their heads together. On the Longjiang River, this most ordinary old fisherman gave them education on the cycle of life and death for the first time.

  Let them learn to respect and cherish life.

   And Liu Qingshan cheerfully bought a few big fish from the old fishermen.

  Now there are no fishmongers here to bully the market, so the old fishermen happily sold them the fish for a total of thirty-three yuan, with a change, only thirty yuan.

  It's so easy to fish in this icy and snowy place, Liu Qingshan took out forty yuan and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

But the old man insisted not to take it: "You can't charge too much. I fish here every day and I know you. It is because there are more of you in the city to do business. Even the price of fish has risen. Speaking of which, we still follow suit." Get it on."

  This ordinary old man does not understand any great principles, but he knows how to be grateful.

  Liu Qingshan took the ten yuan handed back by the old man, and if he didn't take it, it would be disrespectful to the old man.

  So we chatted for a few more words, and learned that the old man lived by the river and made a living by fishing all year round. Liu Qingshan said with a smile:

   "Master, the border trade is definitely getting more and more prosperous. The area along the river, even though it is desolate now, will definitely become very prosperous in less than ten or eight years."

   "At that time, the land here will be valuable, so your house, in the past two years, must not be sold."

   "If you have the conditions, you can buy a few more houses. I can guarantee that you will turn over by then."

  Liu Qingshan is not a local tenant here, nor will he stay here permanently, so he doesn't mind reminding this kind old man.

  The old fisherman nodded: "If others say this, then I will not believe it, but if it comes from your mouth, then I will believe it."

   "Hehe, the most profitable business here is you, you are a capable person."

  Liu Qingshan smiled and waved goodbye to the old fishermen. The fourth and fifth were carrying a big frozen fish, and returned to the warehouse in high spirits.

  Naturally, it is stewed fish in the evening. Xu Guoqiang’s mother, Aunt Xu, is really good at stewing fish. The fish is filled with vermicelli and tofu, as well as hazel mushrooms and potatoes.

   This stew method is called Demoli stewed fish, and it is a very representative dish on the Longjiang side.

   Waiting until the next day, Liu Jinfeng made a strong request: go to Dadao to open your eyes, and the fourth and fifth children will naturally go together.

  The little fourth child also said seriously, to see what the hair looks like, is there really a layer of hair on the surface of the skin?

  Liu Qingshan scratched his head a bit: "Going to the big island is for trading. What kind of business can you two little ones do? It is estimated that the border guard station will not let you in."

  As a result, when the little old four heard it, he immediately became pitiful, holding Liu Qingshan with both hands and shaking him.

   Shan Xing blinked his eyes wide: "Brother, let's carry some goods over there too."

  You two are so young, what can you carry?
