Paul asks Karina to stand beside Zhang Xiaoqiang, smiles, turns around and stands behind angel. Angel first says a word, and then carefully looks at Karina, who translates in Mandarin more difficult than Eliza. Zhang Xiaoqiang makes it clear by guessing that angel welcomes him.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart, let alone how strange, these foreigners are starving to death, but also to maintain etiquette and demeanor, so that he is very speechless, if in China, he would have scolded in the past, but this is in a foreign country, can not let foreigners look down on quality, Zhang Xiaoqiang forced to endure the forehead straight blue veins shaking, squeeze out a little smile.
When he thought of something, he bent down to find some silver boxed cigars from his backpack and handed them to Karina. Then he pointed to angel and said, "gifts..."
Having the experience of talking with Eliza, Zhang Xiaoqiang spoke very slowly and tried to enunciate clearly. Kalina was stunned for a moment before she came over and handed her hands to angel. Angel was flattered to take over, but did not open it and put it on the small round table.
When he saw that someone had taken the cigar, Zhang Xiaoqiang took out a cigarette which he didn't know but only knew the price and lit it with a pure silver lighter. Then he turned around and found no ashtray, so he moved the antique vase around him and used it as an ashtray.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's action didn't disgust angel. He just talked about their current situation, such as the number of men, women, children and pregnant women. Kalina translated it to Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't express it. He just listened. For him, no matter how miserable foreigners are, it's not his turn to worry.
In angel's story, as time goes by, Zhang Xiaoqiang is a little impatient. He doesn't move the water in the water cup around him. He takes out the mineral water in his bag and drinks it. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang seems to be a little impatient, angel stops talking and asks Zhang Xiaoqiang to follow him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stood up helplessly. For the sake of a little face, he suffered a foreign crime today. He followed angel to another room. It was a restaurant with a long dining table beside the bed. The decoration around it was no different from the style of the reception room. In addition, angel had four men and only Karina was a woman.
Here, Zhang Xiaoqiang knows that there will be a banquet. In other words, it's Zhang Xiaoqiang's reception banquet. Zhang Xiaoqiang sits in angel's hands, and other men take their seats in turn. As angel orders, several women come in with golden utensils in their stomachs. Zhang Xiaoqiang sees the utensils and thinks of the scenes in the movie.
There are five utensils, one for each man. When they are put in front of each person in order and the lid is removed, Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately calms down. He has already guessed what it is, potatoes.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's plate, like angel's, is mashed potatoes. The color is very good, and a thin layer of salt is sprinkled on the top. As for the other people, there is only one potato on the plate, which is not big. In Zhang Xiaoqiang's memory, it seems that it is not any of the four potatoes he saw when he came up. Obviously, The four potatoes just turned into mashed potatoes.
In angel's courteous gesture, Zhang Xiaoqiang grabs a spoon and randomly inserts a spoon into the mashed potato. After hesitation, he puts it into his mouth. To tell you the truth, the mashed potato tastes good, but it's a little lighter, and the salt is not in place. Zhang Xiaoqiang's taste is still fresh.
Seeing that other people only had potatoes and no salt, Zhang Xiaoqiang patted his forehead and almost forgot. He pulled his backpack, grabbed a few bags of salt and threw them on the table. Then he grabbed a few bottles of condiment that he didn't know what it was and continued to put them on the table.
At the moment when Zhang Xiaoqiang put out salt, everyone stopped and looked at the table salt. They lacked salt more than food. Even if they lived by the sea, the main thing they wanted to exchange with Zhang Xiaoqiang was salt. As for the things they wanted to exchange, as long as Zhang Xiaoqiang liked, they would like gold, jewelry, antiques, or women.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang threw out the salt at will, he took out the seasonings, which made several people's throats itch. For a long time, they had no other taste. An original potato was delicious to them, and a mashed potato sprinkled with salt was just an immortal in the world.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang took out five cans, angel was moved. He knew that delicious Chinese food was delicious as long as it was heated. What was rare was that it was all canned meat. Russians like to eat meat. How long have they not eaten it?
It's Zhang Xiaoqiang's tradition to think about these things carefully. The Chinese people pay attention to the kindness of dripping water and springing water to repay each other. When people offer the best things to him, he is not stingy and unwilling to take more. He also wants to use other things in exchange for useful information about Vladivostok and the harbor, There are also reports on the forces of the survivors of Vladivostok.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took out these things as part of his meal. He sawed open the can with a military knife and gave it to each person. When there was only the last can left in front of him, he sawed it open and handed it to Karina standing behind him.Kalina takes the can at a loss, but her face shows a panic. Her eyes sweep over several men present. When she sees Paul's angry eyes, she immediately puts the can on the table and retreats. When Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't know the situation, angel says a few words to Kalina. Kalina quickly turns around and runs out.
After Kalina went out, all the people on the scene stopped eating, and the cans for them didn't move. Zhang Xiaoqiang was more and more confused about what these Russians were thinking?
Fortunately, it wasn't long. A few women and children came in one after another. In addition to Kalena, there were six women, three young pregnant women and three middle-aged Russian women. They said they were middle-aged, but in fact they were just over 30, but in the end of the world, women were getting old quickly. After 30, they looked like they were more than 40.
There are four children, one male and one female, four or five years old, and two girls, two years old. The children in Russia are bigger than those in China. According to this calculation, they are just a little more than one year old and should be the last babies.
These children are very cultured. When they come in, they salute angel, and then nod to others. The older child takes the child's hand and walks to their seats peacefully, and asks the woman to pick them up and sit down. No one talks, no one fights, and no one even looks at other people's plates.
The woman took the tableware and the basin with bread and noodle soup and placed them for several people in order. The canned food and salt Zhang Xiaoqiang took out were carefully taken away by the women. Soon, the banquet began again. Zhang Xiaoqiang had a soup and a mixed hot dish besides his mashed potatoes. The women mixed all kinds of canned food together to make mixed dishes.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's is similar to angel's, but angel's hot dishes are half less than Zhang Xiaoqiang's. Zhang Xiaoqiang looks at other people and finds that everyone has hot soup, but the man has one more potato, the woman is moldy bread and batter wild vegetable soup, and the child has hot dishes in front of him. Everyone has the same amount, absolutely average.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang understood how this small survivors' organization survived to the present. To be exact, according to the rules set by angel, everyone should support each other in discipline and warmth. Potatoes are given to men. They need strength to protect them. Women need noodle soup and bread. They need men's protection and support. Children need hot dishes, They need nutrition. As for pregnant women, the most important thing is to have a thicker batter soup and more bread.
After drinking a mouthful of hot soup, it tastes ordinary. It's made with a little salt and seasoning. For Zhang Xiaoqiang, it's ordinary. For others, it's delicious. Men and women are very comfortable. They are not upset because they haven't eaten the can. Children are in a little commotion. They drink the hot soup carefully and eat the hot dishes in front of them little by little, With unbelievable and happy faces, they did not expect that there were such delicious things in the world.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took a few mouthfuls and felt that he was not in the mood to eat any more. Regardless of the rules, he picked up the hot dishes in front of the pregnant women and put them in a posture of eating. He grabbed two backpacks on the ground and shook them. Dozens of cans, various kinds of food and other sundries rolled down everywhere. Pointing at these things, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned and slid his fingers, He stops on several pregnant women and children, turns his head and looks at angel. Angel gets up with his hands on the table, bows to Zhang Xiaoqiang, and puts the hot dishes in front of him in front of the pregnant woman. At this time, the separation and affectation of both sides disappea
