Hu Xiaoman stopped at the door of a bar and walked in.
Less than half an hour later, she came out again carrying a box.
The boss also enthusiastically escorted her out, and you could tell from his expression how satisfied he was.
Hu Xiaoman hurriedly left here, walked a long way, changed two sets of clothes, and then relaxed.
Just now she went to the bar to see the owner and sold some dairy products, such as cheese and butter.
This kind of thing is in short supply in the Soviet Union.
Of course, their production is not large. You know, making milk into cheese and other things requires many steps and consumes a lot of resources.
Hu Xiaoman found the owner of the store again, and the two of them set off.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. If she hurried, she could go back before dark.
"What do you want to buy? There aren't a lot of things available right now." The man asked while driving.
Hu Xiaoman did not hide it and replied: "I want to buy some food and see if there is anything else. I will buy it if I need it."
In fact, the Soviet Union is rich in preserved meats such as sausages, but it is summer now and they cannot be preserved at all, so they are rarely made.
Generally, large-scale production starts in autumn. Now it is too little, so we can only make more sausages.
After arriving at the farm, the shop owner greeted the farmer, and it was obvious that the two knew each other.
Knowing that Hu Xiaoman was here to buy food or something, he took her to the warehouse.
This year's grain has been dried, threshed and ground into flour.
It is common that the noodles are a little yellow at this time.
However, there are pure white noodles, but they are not Kung Fu noodles, so they are rarely sold.
Hu Xiaoman bought 100,000 kilograms of noodles and spent all his money.
As I just said, there is no chance to buy if you look for something else.
She followed the car back to the store owner's warehouse. The owner was responsible for transporting the goods, and she loaded them into the space.
When a car comes and leaves, she will put it into the space.
It took several trips back and forth to finish, and it was already dark by then.
Hu Xiaoman hurried back to the hotel. Secretary Jin was standing at the door of the hotel, looking around anxiously.
"Director Jin!" She ran too fast and was a little out of breath.
As soon as Secretary Jin saw her come back, he immediately started to educate her.
"Why are you back so late? Do you know how dangerous it is outside at night? Why didn't you tell me you were going out? I asked you to go shopping, not come back at this time!"
"If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to your family, to the factory, and to the organization?"
He became more and more angry as he spoke, and his face turned red.
If Hu Xiaoman didn't know foreign languages, he would have gone crazy!
He is the one who brought people up, so if anything happens, it will be his responsibility.
How could he not be afraid?
This scene made Hu Xiaoman feel a little embarrassed, just like when he skipped class and was scolded by the head teacher.
Although this is all work responsibility, they are indeed worried and are still waiting here after dark.
"I'm sorry, Director Jin! It's my fault. I will reflect on it and will never do it again!" Hu Xiaoman seriously admitted his mistake.
If she came by herself, no one would care even if she didn't come back.
But this time she was on a business trip, which was a lack of consideration on her part.
Secretary Jin didn't necessarily want to do anything to her. Seeing that she was sincere, he let her into the house.
"Let's go inside first, clean up and go out for dinner?"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoman felt even more embarrassed. They hadn't even eaten in order to wait for him...
When Accountant Wang woke up the next morning, he looked exhausted.
"Director Hu, you have to come back earlier next time. This is too tiring."
Although she was dissatisfied, she only complained this much.
She also waited yesterday. Although she didn't dare to go out to look for someone, she didn't say anything excessive.
There were a lot of drunks shopping outside at night, and no one dared to go out.
Hu Xiaoman said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Accountant Wang, I've disturbed you and made you worry."
After all, it was my own fault, so I should apologize.
After the three of them had breakfast, Secretary Jin took them to a pub.
There are pubs everywhere here, more than restaurants.
The three of them entered a private room and sat down to wait.
Hu Xiaoman ordered a cup of coffee, while everyone else had milk.
As for drinking, they don't need to.
After waiting for a while, two people came in.
They all looked to be in their thirties.
This time the factory is coming here to export canned food. There is a great demand for this kind of convenient food here.
Hu Xiaoman was responsible for translating what Secretary Jin didn't understand, or what he wanted to express but couldn't express clearly.
The conversation went smoothly and everyone went home after it was over.
Director Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said to them, "I'm going to go get the train tickets first. You guys stay here."
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Hu Xiaoman, "It's fine if you go out, but you must be back before dark. I'm going home soon, so don't do anything else."
He was really afraid that Hu Xiaoman would get lost. Even if he didn't get lost, what if he was kidnapped?
Where can he find someone in this foreign country?
Hu Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. It was the first time someone said that to him.
But she was willing to do it, after all, she was the one who did the wrong thing first.
"Don't worry, Director Jin, I will definitely come back later so that you won't worry and I won't cause any trouble for the organization!" She vowed that she would never do anything out of line.
Secretary Jin nodded with satisfaction, hoping that she would do what she said.
After seeing everyone leave, Accountant Wang lay on the windowsill and looked outside.
"Alas... my company doesn't even give me any foreign currency, otherwise I'd go out and buy some foreign stuff like chocolate."
There was expectation in her tone, and all she was thinking about was chocolate.
By the way, milk from foreign countries is really delicious. The milk I drank yesterday was very sweet, and it tasted completely different from the milk with sugar. I wonder if the cows there are raised on sugar.
Seeing her like this, Hu Xiaoman asked, "Even if you have foreign exchange, can you explain it clearly?"
"Yeah..." Accountant Wang then realized that this is a foreign country, and even if you have money you may not be able to buy things, and you may even be cheated.
Maybe the chocolate was only one cent a piece, but people sold it to her for fifty cents.
When she thought of this, Accountant Wang smacked her lips. She couldn't buy chocolates anymore. If she got cheated, her hard-earned money would be gone.
"I'd rather not eat it." She thought about it and uttered these words.
Although it looks delicious, it is black and looks like mud, so it may be unpalatable.
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said he was leaving.
She went out for a look. There were a lot of people on the streets during the day. In fact, this place was not particularly prosperous. It was about the same as Haicheng.
It’s just that they are all foreigners, and the situation is not as strict as in China.
