Chapter 1714 I have a suitable car
After hearing Xiao Peng singing, the shirtless Russian man who was reciting poetry stopped reciting and ran directly to Xiao Peng: "Brother, stop singing!"
Xiao Peng was about to speak to him when he saw him turn around and quickly run back to the house and close the door. There was a loud bang when the door was slammed.
"Uh." Xiao Peng and Kaxin looked at each other. Where had this guy been?
Kasin came to his senses first: "Boss, you'd better not sing anymore. Look, you've scared people away!"
"Get lost!" Xiao Peng cursed. "I can sing better than those people in the Zenit Arena, right? I seriously suspect this guy is mentally ill! Aren't we here to rent a car? Are we here to rent a car or to see a madman?"
As he finished speaking, the closed door was pushed open again. The shirtless man who had just recited the poem rushed out again, this time wearing a leather jacket and a brown knitted hat. He ran while rubbing his hands together furiously: "Fuck! I'm freezing to death! I'm freezing to death!"
Xiao Peng saw him running towards him and sniffed twice: "No smell of alcohol! Brother, are you drunk?"
The young man in the leather jacket was stunned. "I wasn't drinking! Oh, you mean just now? I did that on purpose to capture the despair of lost love expressed in those poems. My name is Zhenya, and I'm the owner of this place."
Xiao Peng and Ka Xin introduced themselves to him and shook hands. Ka Xin said, "We wanted to come..."
As a result, Zhenya interrupted him before he finished speaking, took out his mobile phone and said to Xiao Peng: "Brother, you are looking for me to buy a car or rent a car, that's a small matter, just sing the song you just sang to me again."
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this. What kind of request was this?
Zhenya said, "I'm going to sing this song at Brodsky's poetry reading. I guarantee it'll shock them! You may not know, but we have a band that's very famous here in Noah Bulster, and we even have the opportunity to perform on 'Opening Day'. If I sing this song, it will definitely make me famous!"
Xiao Peng and Ka Xin didn't know what to say.
The 'opening day' that Zhenya mentioned was actually the name of a restaurant, and Xiao Peng had also eaten there - one could even say that he went there often.
This 'opening day' in Noyarst is well-known to everyone. It is a standard 'high-end restaurant'. The people who eat there are the 'elite class' of this city. The business is so booming that you have to make a reservation to dine there.
But Xiao Peng felt that it was a weird place.
The Russian-style decor was filled with dining tables. If only the surrounding walls and chairs were visible, Xiao Peng would have mistaken himself for Pizza Hut. The cuisine featured here included Caucasian, Russian, Ukrainian, European, and even sushi. Kashin, who grew up in Chechnya, ordered a Caucasian dish, hoping to experience a bit of home. After just one bite, he exclaimed, "Pooh! What the hell is this?"
Xiao Peng’s first reaction to the sushi there was: This is made by people from Daxia, right?
He wasn't joking. After all, he had just returned from America, where sushi restaurants were everywhere. However, about 95% of them were run by Fujianese. They only needed to hire a Japanese girl as a receptionist, and the Americans would think they were eating "authentic Japanese sushi"...
In fact, he guessed right: he later discovered that there was a sushi restaurant next to the restaurant on the opening day, and the owner was indeed from Fujian...
The food there is just okay, but the most important thing is that there is a bar, dance floor, DJ booth and even a live band. After eating and drinking, diners can go upstairs to dance and have fun.
What else could Xiao Peng say about this hodgepodge? The longer Xiao Peng stayed in Russia, the more he found himself unable to understand this country.
If that’s the case, why does Xiao Peng go there to eat so often?
This wasn't meant to be pretentious; the restaurant on Opening Day was probably the best Russian food in all of Noyabrsk. Xiao Peng's people could handle a little hardship, but they weren't about to let their stomachs suffer!
In response to Zhenya's request, Xiao Peng hurriedly said, "This is not a song I wrote, it's a song by a band from our country!"
Zhenya's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That's even better. I don't even have to think about arranging the music! Dude, quickly find that song and let's listen to it."
Xiao Peng scratched his head. "Zhenya, right? Since you're going to perform there, you have to consider the copyright, right? Besides, if you say you wrote this song, aren't you afraid of being exposed? That would be so embarrassing, right?"
He knew that when Zhenya performed this song and someone asked him who wrote it, he would definitely say himself.
Xiao Peng has now begun to understand the Russians' working style, which can be simply put as "whoever you love is who you do".
Zhenya said matter-of-factly, "That's impossible! Where are we? Noyabrsk! Is there any other use for the wireless network here besides playing online games?"
What else could Xiao Peng say? He could only give a thumbs-up in agreement.
There was only one internet café in Noyabrsk, housed in a semi-underground air-raid shelter—a relic of the Soviet era. Here, one could see many relics of the Soviet era. Xiao Peng went in and was amazed to see it was completely packed with children playing games.
Russia actually has very strict internet controls. Even Vchat, the overseas version of "V," is blocked here. The internet here is really mostly used for gaming.
"Dude, listen to me quickly. The car thing is easy to talk about. I will definitely find you a car you like and give you a discount!" Zhenya said, "Don't underestimate me. I am still very capable in Noyabrsk. If you need any help in the future, I will definitely be able to help you!"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this. In this respect, Russia and Daxia were very similar. They were very socially savvy. Getting things done here was basically a matter of personal connections. Many things that were impossible to accomplish could be easily accomplished with the right person.
"Hmm..." Xiao Peng thought for a moment and directly found the song on Zhenya's phone. He also thoughtfully translated it into Russian for him. Although the lyrics of the song were based on Pushkin's poem, there were also some changes made by the New Pants Band. This made Zhenya very happy.
"What kind of car do you want to rent?" Zhenya asked happily.
Kasin said: "Find one that is safe in the wild!"
Zhenya thought for a moment and said, "God must have kissed your faces. You are so lucky! I have a car that is perfect for you."
After he finished speaking, he walked over to a car covered in snow, picked up a large broom nearby, swept away the snow, and asked Xiao Peng and Ka Xin, "What do you think of this car? Huh? Why do you look like that?"
When Xiao Peng and Kaxin saw the car, their mouths opened wide. It was no problem to stuff a duck egg into it.
