Hello, 1983

Wow, what a cute doll!

The little old fourth held a wooden doll in his hand, jumping up and down with joy.

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

The wooden dolls are round, with colorful dolls drawn on them, wearing headscarves and wearing Russian-style robes, which look very festive and cute.

Liu Qingshan waited for the two little guys to express their happiness, and then said: Open it and see, there are surprises inside.

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

Brother, isn't it a piggy bank, it's full of money, right?

Little Old Four soon revealed the true character of a small fortune fan.

Shan Xing, on the other hand, directly unscrewed the wooden doll in her hand.

Wow!

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

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

Haha, it's so fun! Little Old Four put the nesting dolls in a long row in order from largest to smallest.

Matryoshka dolls have a good meaning. In fact, they represent the prosperity of their descendants, just like the sentence: the children and grandchildren are inexhaustible.

These two nesting dolls were specially bought by Liu Qingshan for his sister in the store in Cloth.

Purely handmade, the material is basswood, this one is light and strong, will not crack, it is the most suitable for dolls.

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

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

Of course, the biggest reward is that medal.

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

Wow,

This badge is so pretty!

The little fourth also called out beside him, and then he felt a little strange: Hey, why isn't it Grandpa Mao?

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

Because some badges have that red plastic and plexiglass on them, and they wear shiny ones, which are very beautiful.

Liu Qingshan tugged at the little brother's antenna braid: This is a medal. To be precise, it should be called the Medal of Victory.

The little brother stretched out his little finger and touched the red five-pointed star: This red plexiglass is so beautiful, and there are so many transparent glass around it.

Then she said reluctantly: Unfortunately, there is only one. If I wear it, Shan Xing will not be there, so I don't wear it.

Hearing that, Liu Qingshan blinked his eyes hard: This is the Medal of Victory. There are only twenty in total. How many more do you want?

Also, is that plexiglass, that's real ruby, okay?

And those broken glass, that's all inlaid 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 dollars, making it the most expensive medal in the world.

Those who can get this medal of victory are all marshals, and the minimum must be at the rank of generals. One after another, only twenty were issued in total.

Moreover, after the recipient dies, the medal will be recovered and sent to the exhibition hall for collection, which shows its preciousness.

Liu Qingshan also didn't know what identity Katyusha's grandfather was to receive the Medal of Victory.

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 him.

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

Because the Medal of Victory will be withdrawn after the owner dies, Liu Qingshan estimates that this 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 the rise and fall of success or failure is an inevitable law of objective development, Liu Qingshan feels that an empire will definitely have various signs before it collapses.

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

The fourth and fifth are here, so of course Liu Qingshan wants to get some delicious food for the two little girls, then eat hot pot.

In the market here, you can buy mutton, and they are all shipped from the Hulunbuir grassland. The mutton is fat and tender, which is most suitable for hot pot.

More than 20 of them ate hot pot, and Liu Qingshan directly bought dozens of catties of lamb chops.

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

There is no machine for slicing meat, which is not difficult for a group of foodies. The frozen mutton is directly pushed up with a woodworking plane.

As soon as the plane goes down, it is a long big meat roll, and it is pushed very thinly, not worse than the machine.

Green vegetables or something, really not.

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

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

Some of them, this is the first time to cook hot pot, they are a little curious and don't 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 are okay. When we went to the capital, we ate in Donglaishun.

The two little girls first arranged the seasonings. In addition to the sesame paste, chive flowers and fermented bean curd, the little fourth asked the elder sister to help her scoop a small spoon of chili oil.

The chive flowers on their side are particularly good. They are all pounded with wild chive flowers from the meadows. The taste is very strong and it is a perfect match with mutton.

The fermented bean curd is also good. A few hundred miles away, there is Erke Mountain. Wherever fermented bean curd is produced, I heard that it is also exported.

In the winter, it is most suitable to eat hot pot. Sitting around in groups, steaming, chatting while eating, the atmosphere is very warm.

Especially since business has been smooth recently, everyone is in a good mood, and the dinner table is even more lively.

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

When Liu Qingshan saw that the little old man kept poking at the meat, he took a piece of kelp for her.

In the interior of the northeast side, there are few seafood, so it is easy to be deficient in iodine. At that time, most of them ate large grains of salt, and no iodine was added to it.

In this case, it is easy to get thyroid diseases, and the neck is swollen and thick, commonly known as the big thick neck.

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

Then, he scooped up a chopstick of meat for Shan Xing: You don't just eat vegetables, you can grow meat only by eating meat.

Brother, you are partial, do you want to treat Shan Xing as a child bride?

Of course, the youngest fourth didn't do it, and she didn't know where she came to know the word child bride, so it popped up without thinking.

There was a burst of laughter at the dinner table, and Shan Xing's little face was flushed with laughter.

You girl, you can't stop your mouth when you eat!

Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes at Xiao Lao Si and said angrily.

...

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

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

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

Moreover, Heihe has not yet begun to build on a large scale.

Even Daheihe Island is under continuous 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 will be a matter of the future.

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

Some monuments were destroyed in that special era more than ten years ago, which also makes Liu Qingshan feel very sorry.

The fourth and the fifth were very interested, but after listening to some explanations from the elder brother, the two little girls gradually turned their faces.

Brother, you said that the territory over Maozi is ours, so why don't you come back?

The little old man said angrily.

Liu Jinfeng next to him said angrily, Then go and ask for it.

The little fourth immediately took Shan Xing's hand: The fifth, when we grow up, we will bring those territories back!

Liu Qingshan patted the hats on the heads of the two little guys, and praised: Okay, ambitious.

After he finished speaking, he also looked towards the distant Cangshan Snowfield and muttered, If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only when you are prosperous and strong can you prosper!

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

Then they went for a walk on the river, and when they saw a group of fishermen catching winter on the river, they watched with great interest.

After the fishermen began to collect their nets from the ice hole, there were big fish jumping around and being pulled out of the water. So happy that the fourth and fifth are clapping their hands.

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

Among the fishermen, an old man replied with a smile: Haha, the little girl knows a lot, and our river does have a big horse.

It's just that it's not the season. Damaha goes upstream from the sea and into the river only 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 that these two little girls were cute, and opened the chat box: This kind of fish comes back to lay eggs. They are born in the river and grow in the sea.

When you become an adult, you have to return to your hometown to lay eggs.

The fourth little boy immediately clapped his hands and laughed: Okay, salmon doesn't forget his hometown, it's a good fish!

The old man continued: It's just that when they swam back, they stopped eating along the way. After laying eggs, they used up the nutrients in their bodies, and they died within a few days.

ah?

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

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

Be it people or animals, home is the final destination.

The two little guys nodded in understanding.

The old fisherman also nodded with some emotion: This is the same as the root of the leaves, so few people will catch the salmon that have laid their eggs.

On the one hand, it is because such fish have no nutrients in their bodies, and on the other hand, it is the respect we humans have for Damaha.

In fact, it is the same with people. It is passed down from generation to generation. The old will always leave, and the young will always grow up.

Um!

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

Let them learn to fear life and cherish life.

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

Now there are no fishmongers who are bullying the market, so the old fishermen happily sell them the fish for a total of 33 yuan, and only 30 yuan.

In this world of ice and snow, it is so easy to do some fishing. Liu Qingshan took out 40 yuan and stuffed it into the old man's hands.

The old man insisted on not accepting it: I can't overcharge, I fish here every day, and I know you. It's precisely because there are so many of you in the city who come to buy and sell, and even the price of fish has gone up. Speaking of which, let's follow Dip it up.

This ordinary old man doesn't know any big truth, but he knows how to be grateful.

Liu Qingshan also took the ten dollars that the old man handed back. If he didn't take it, he would be disrespectful to the old man.

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

Father, this border trade is definitely getting more and more prosperous. This area by the river, regardless of the desolation now, will definitely become very prosperous in ten or eight years.

By that time, the land here will be valuable, so don't sell your house in the past two years.

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 householder here, nor will he be a permanent resident here, so he doesn't mind reminding this kind old man.

The old fisherman nodded: If someone else said this, I would definitely not believe it, but if it came out of your mouth, then I would definitely believe it.

Hehe, you are the most profitable person doing business here. You are a capable person.

Liu Qingshan smiled and waved goodbye to the old fisherman. The fourth and the fifth were still carrying a big fish that was frozen upright and returned to the warehouse arrogantly.

The evening was naturally fish stew. Mrs. Xu Guoqiang's mother, Mrs. Xu, was very good at stewing fish. The fish was filled with vermicelli, large tofu, hazelnut mushrooms and potatoes.

This kind of stewing method, called Demoli Stewed Fish, is a very representative dish in Longjiang.

On the second day, Liu Jinfeng strongly requested: go to the big island to open your eyes, and the fourth and fifth will naturally go together.

The little brother 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 little: Going to the big island is all about trading. You two little ones can do business. It is estimated that the border guard station will not let you in.

As a result, when the fourth youngest heard it, he immediately became pitiful, holding Liu Qingshan with both hands and swaying.

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

You two are small, what can you carry?
